will be of exceptional psychological
interest and will at the same time pre-
sent great difficulties. For it was just
in those short years that Lenin be-
came Lenin. This does not mean
that he did not grow further Quite
the contrary; he grew-and by what
leaps!-both before and after the No
vember revolution. But that was al
ready a more organic growth.
GREAT was the bound from "un-

the material leap of a man who had
measured and weighed all that one

the spiritual development of Lenin.
| ARRIVED in London in the autumn
/ of 1902-it must have been in Oc-
tober. 1t was early in the morning.
A cab brought me to the fiat of Niko-
lai Lenin. The door was opened, as
far as | remember, by Madame Lenin.
Lenin was still in bed and his face
bore an expression of welcome mixed
with legitimate perplexity. Such
were the circumstances in which ou'
first meeting and our first converse
tion took place. Both Lenin and his
wife already knew of me thru letter
from Clare (Krjijanovsky), who for
mally introduced me in Samara into
the spark" organization under the
nickname of Pen" And l was re-
ceived as such: "The Pen arrived

tier. The smugglers had mercilessly
fleeced me in excess of all tariff and
standards. l delivered to Madame
Lenin a modest package of addresses
and passes, or more probably infor-
nation about the necessity of discard
ing several unfit mailing places. At
the instance of the Samara group /
had visited Kharkov, Poltava and
Kiev, and almost everywhere, at least
in Kharkov and Poltava, was able to
discover but very weak system of
communication.

- Lenin about London. He showed
me Westminster (from the outside),
and some other notable buildings. !
do not remember how he said it, but
the nuance of the meaning was such /:
st is they who possess the famous
Westminster"
"They" signified, of course, not the
English, but our capitalistic enemies.
Lenin always had this slight shade,
not at all emphasized and profoundly
organic, in the timbre of his voice
which expressed itself whenever he
talked about some cultural treasures
or new achievements, about the or
ganization of the British Museum, the
wealth of information of the London
Times, or, many years later, about
German artillery or French aviation:
"THEY are capable or THEY pos
sess, THEY have done or THEY
have achieved-but what enemies
THEY arel" The invisible shadow of
"they'-the exploiting class--envel-
oped all human civilization, in his
view, and he was always, aware of
this shadow as Enthusiastically as of
daylight.

The most successful unions of today
have embodied in their constitution
the principles of mediation, concilia-
ton, and voluntary arbitration, and
they always resort to these means be-
fore launching strike. Nearly all of
the so-called radical, self styled pro-
gressive unions, who scorned media
ton, conciliation and arbitration have
finally resorted to these means of
settling trade disputes and have been
successful. This is particularly so in
the needle trades.
Those who play to the gallery by
shouting the loudest for strike be-
fore resorting to mediation, concilia-
tion and arbitration. are unfair to
themselves and are unconsciously do
ing the union an injustice. They are
neither brave nor heroic 1t requires
more courage to stand up in the ad-
vocacy of mediation, conciliation and
voluntary arbitration than it does to
yell "strike" at the drop of the hat.
We believe in strikes, but only after
the offer of mediation, Cancellation
and voluntary arbitration has been
refused.

RIGHT TO STRIKE
AS Last Resort Must Be
Upheld, Says Perkins
By G. w. PERKINS
President, Cigarmakers' Interna-
tional Union of America

IlOIidl OIilOil VI !iilcIlCd
Mediation, conciliation, and volun-
tary arbitration are just as necessary
for success in our trade unions as
organization itself. No sane working
man or woman will say that destruct-
i've warfare should not be prevented
and the dispute settled by peaceful
means of mediation, conciliation, and
voluntary arbitration.
The right to strike should be main
tanned at all times. The strike, how
ever, is a two-edged sword and unless
property handled and considered IN
the calm light of reason can, and
good. Strikes should never be enter
ed into until committee has dispas-
sionately discussed the question with
the employer or employers. Every
logical reason should be advanced by
the committee representing the union
n mediation and where justice de-
mands Cancellation resorted to. If
both mediation and cJnciliation fail
then voluntary arbitration should be
tried. Ii all these fail and our de
mands are just a strike is justifiable.
If the simple, fair means of mediation
and Cancellation il resOrted to in SO
cases out of hundred the difficulty
will be settled without a strike or
the loss of a moments time.
Where employers refuse mediation
and Cancellation or voluntary arbitra
ton they can be held up to the sccrn
of public opinion. Public opinion has
its influence when thrown to the side
of justice.

Foes of Child Labor
Bar, Urge Mob Spirit

Opponents present shameful spec
tacle in their fight against the federal
child labor amendment.
These opponents have abandoned
their states rights plea and are at
tempting to terrify the people with
hair-raising tales of governmental
Frankenstein that will crunch the ma
tion's children in it's remorseless NAV
just as the mills and factories, for
instance, are now doing.
Their untruthful statements and
their inuendoes would be ludicrous if
helpless children were not involved.
Throwing principle and decency
aside, the profteers of child labor pose
as the good fairy who would protect
childhood from the one force that has
waged war against these profiteers.

The claim that congress will stop
all farm labor under l8 years of age
is the most popular demagoguery of

In 1916 and in 1919 congress be-

even suggested.
Amendment foes do not tell the

Ask Labor Board to Grant
Them Increase in Wages

By international Labor News Service.
Chicago. - Train dispatchers on
western railroads, represented by the
American Train Dispatchers' Associa-
ton, are asking the United States
railroad labor board for an increase in
wages.
The train dispatchers say that their
duties and responsibilities have been
greatly increased in recent years
without adequate increase in compen-
saton. They further say that their
wages in fact have been decreased by
the elimination of pay for vacation
periods on some of the railroads.
The dispatchers point out that their
earning years are Is less than per-
sons engaged in other vocations,

Toward the Next War

The Department Of Commerce has just published
figures on the foreign trade of the United States
which reveal the forces driving headlong toward
another war.
During the year ending June Both, exports
amounted to S754478000 more than imports, or
an increase of about five times the balance of trade
ports of gold we've almost a half billion dollars,
as compared with slightly more than quarter
billion last year; while exports of gold decreased
from 40 millions to 10 millions
In other words constantly growing volume of
commodities are being shipped abroad from the
United States while of the decreasing amount Of
imports there is constantly a greater quantity of
gold, which is not consumed but is heaped up in
the vaults looking for investment markets abroad.

of wealth, secure guarantees" for payment, seize
profitable fields of investment for the proceeds and
for the accumulations Of gold, establish the he
gemony over capitalist Europe and the colonial
continents Of Asia and South America necessary
for investment purposes,-in other words to estab-
lsh the power of the American Imperialism
created by these forces of the capitalist order
that the hundreds of millions are being spent
upon the Navy, the Army, and the Air Service,
while the War Department organizes mass mobil-
izations of citizens. The forces Of Imperialism
are driving us toward another war, in which CAPT
talism will destroy itself The only power capable
of carrying the working class thru this period to
the establishment Of a new society is the work
ing class. The only leaders that show the
way are workers organized in the Communist In
