The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1924-01-26

care you really going to have an
English Communist Daily in the
United States?" is what they ask on
all sides. Leading comrades and
workers of the rank and file ask the
same question. Comrades and work
ers who have returned from the
United States and who are still
tremendously interested in the Amer
lean movement, are filed with plea
sure when they hear that at last the
American Communist movement and
the working class Of the United
States ara 70 have an organ Of their
own.
But il - not only pleasure IN the
realization Of dream that the Com
munist Of the United States have had
for several years, that animates
these workers. The Communist In
ternational expressed It's enthusiasm
not merely because il meant that the
American Communist movement has
grown so powerful and has acquired
such influence that it can contem-
plate the establishment Of a daily.
For the Communist International and
the comrades realize that the main
tenance Of a daily in the United
States Is a serious matter. They
know that It win mean endless sacri-
fees on the part of the comrades,
gigantic efforts to permeate the
working class and to induce the work
erz and farmers to give up their yell
low, anti-labor sheets, and support
genuine organ of the workers and
farmers The Communist Daily can
not and should not hope to compete
with the capitalist press. To have
that in mind is to kill the paper at
its birth It must be the expression
Of the dynamic force of the workers
and oppressed farmers. It must fur
nish them not only with general
news-with Communist interpretation
Of svents-but also supply that end
less fund Of informatiOn that the
capitalist news service supprasses.
That this latter Is fact need not be
argued any further-the facts Of the
suppression Of every kind Of news
during the war are toe well known.
And the capitalist class, in its own
Interests, Is bound to continue this
action.
The Communist press win have to
gre thc facts about labor troubles
-3scts that even he socialist press
refuses to furnish, because Of the
coalition Of the socialist and the re-
dictionary trade union leaders. The
American workers have had sufficient
experience in this respect. The stock

Nicolai Lenin is dead. The news
flashed from Moscow has spread
around the world. to the revolu-
honary workers Of the world, his
death is heavy blow, but to that
countless mass which is vet i'm
pervious to anything outside Of its
immediate life, his death has LITTLE
Significance.
But IN the annals Of history
Lenin win bulk large for he was
the leader Of the first successful
WORKER Government in the world.
and he represents the rising tide
Of revolution which is destined to
sweep all before 1t.
Lenin, The Marxlst, The Revoiu-
ZIONIST In other words Lenin, The
Communist.
It was the Mar,ist who early in
the history Of the Russian Conn
munist movement laid down the
fundamental thesis, that a revolution
IN Russia would and must be d.
rected into q seizure of state power
by the Workers and Peasants. The
Russian revolution must not end
with a victory of the Capitalist
Class. It must in its logical develop
ment be a victory Of the masses
both over Czardsm and Capitalism.
When the Mensheviks laid down the
position that an era of Capitalism
must take place before the workers
revolution would be successful in
Russia, Lenin branded such an at
titude as incorrect and a perversion
Of Marxism. 1t was Lenin the Marx
ist who early discerned the oppor-
tunistic tendencies Of the Second
International and it was he who was
the founder and leader Of the Com
murist international which is the
general staff Of the worlds revolu-
tionary movement.
It was Lenin the revolutionist who
since early youth devoted himself to
the revolutionary movement without

NEW YORK. March 22.-Further
pressure will be brought to bear on

slider his decision to retire from the
ring. Juan HONS, agent of Tex
Rickard intimated before sailing to-
day for Buenos Aires. A -
'Firpo likes the United States and
would like to return, HONS said.
He is more confident of himself and
thinks he would have a better. chance
against Dempsey should he fight him
again. because he lis more familiar
with the champions tactics than when
he first came here. Firpo is young
and temperamental. He has been
confused by conflicting interests in
his native country. However, men
prominent in Argentine political and
social life would like him to win the
championship

richards previous offers to Firpo

Apparently there is deal of hide
bound conservatism about the Wash
ington base ball club that makes
for slow developments. This is true
of some other American League clubs
also, but probably the Nationals have
suffered from it longer than others.
Unless driven by dire necessity to
employ the younger talent IL recruits
each season, the club plods along
with players undoubtedly good in
their line and lets the future take
care of itself.
or the lot slated for the 1924 in
field, three are real stars. Judge, Har-
I.is and Peckinpaugh would look good
in any big league lineup, but what
is back OF them? And how about that
hot corner? These are some of the
problems Harris, the new Manager,
will have to wrestle with.
II Veterans all Like Prothro.
Using a term of trade it seems that
Doc Prothro has sold himself to
the veterans of the club as. a third
baseman They are LOUD in their
praise of the veteran Southern Asso-
citation player For the first time in
the training campaign Prothro today
gave good hitting and fielding exhi-
bitions, but the Memphis graduate
must show more to warrant the pre-
Siiction that he Will be better than
the average big league third sacker.
True, he batted at a great rate and
5ieIded at a still better one for Mem
phis last season, but Memphis is not
in the American League. AS ball play
ers go, Prothro is no youngster, and
must get under the big top soon, IL
he is to get under at all. Yet he re-
ported to the training camp well
overweight and still has far to go
TO get into condition. The Doc may
be a stellar third sacker and a whale
of a hitter; it is hoped he is. for the
Mats need some one like that at the
far corner. But no one right now is
warranted in stating that the veteran
from the Dixie circuit is bound TO
be a howiing success.
Since the days of Eddie Foster as
she Nationals third sacker, various
Washington managements have been
experimenting with players in that
position. Howard Shanks. lifted TO
the infield, was fair, but not third
paseman OF really big league caliber.
Ossie BIuege, originally a shortstop.
was used at third during most OF
last season. While his fielding was
generally of high order, he slumped
fearfully in hitting after midseason
and also was handicapped by an all
ing knee that finally benched him
BIuege Only Reserve Tnfielder.
Now Bluege's knee has healed and
apparently he is just as good, IL not
better, at fielding as ever. AS to his
batting promise little can be told, for
he has been kept in the background
q great deal at this training camp.
The little action Bluege has seen IN
son1Ietition has been as understudy
