Christmas Cheer
By HOMER CROSS

The Bessemer blows. Showers Of
burning sparks, plumes of vitrlcus
yellow, the fan of light that cuts its
edges through the black mist TO play
on the low clouds, proclaim the birth
Of steel.
Below those dark roofs, where the
soaring stream of molten light pours
forth from the travail Of the ftrnaceS
briefly to sink, in the grip of the rolls,
through wilderness and glowing red
to cold blue shapes Of death, swarthy
men. hard and grim from this fiery
birth and cruel death, labor duly.
The Stag, afterbirth Of metal,
moulders in the pits. A sweating
hunky breaks it up with bar and
throws it out to be carried away, At
his blow the largest mass viciously
explodes and he falls screaming, chest
torn open, eyes blinded, body burned.
His pitmates, their faces twitching,
help to lift him on the stretcher and
the group watches while he is taken
awav to suffer the agony Of slow
death. The foreman tells the men to
go back to their places.

men exposed to hotter than summer
heat, some to winter cold, and some
to both at once. At they go out
of the gates, while other men take
up the work which they have left.
On the way to their sootv, squalor-
ridden homes, up on the hill beside
the Offices, they pass the works
Christmas tree, symbol of happiness
and good will. High above its red
and white lights is luminous cross.
Beneath this is blazoned thru the
smoke and fog the wish of industry
PROSPEROUS NEW YEAR.
"They put up mighty fine tree
this year." said the man beside me,
"Best I've seen and I've been here
twenty year."

Labor S Admiralty Lord

The first labor cabinet in England has
four titled members-Viscounts Haldane and
Chelmsford, Sir Sidney Olivier and Baron
Parmoor
These men are not now and never have
been members of the English working class
They have never associated themselves with
the big struggles of the working men for lib
Grafton from capitalist mastery. The appoint
ment OF one of these, Viscount Chelmsford. to
First Lord of the Admiralty is particularly
significant. This cabinet position corresponds
to the secretaryship of the navy in the United
States.
1t is political copy-book axiom that the
British navy is the bulwark of English inner
salism. Macdonald could not have chosen
more conclusive proof of his intention to .un-
port the imperialistic empire than by the
appointment of Chelmsford to this strategic
post in the Cabinet. Viscount Chelmsford is
a staunch reactionary. The Tories look upon
him as the white hope of the present difficulty
with which they are faced. They feel that
with Lord Chelmsford at the helm of the navy
the government will not move too quickly.
Perhaps nothing terrified British capitalists
more than the danger Of the appointment of
some workingman as Lord Admiral of the
navy With this danger definitely disposed of,
the English capitalists and Tories are breath
ing more freely.
Lord Chelmsford is an iron man in politics.
lie has served the imperialists as Governor OF
Queensland, New South Wales, and viceroy
OF India. 1t was he who foisted the tyrannic
rule on India in the crucial period of 1916 to
1921. 1t was during his regime that the in
famous Armitsar massacre occurred
The English workers might well ask of Mac
Donald and his cabinet colleagues why they
have had change of heart since the Armitsar
massacre Why did Macdonald then de-
nounce Chelmsford and demand his recall?
Why does he now appoint him member of
the cabinet and particularly why has he given
Chelmsford control of the most redoubtable
outpost Of British imperialism? Whom does
Macdonald intend to serve as Premier?

py LOvETT FORT.WHITEMAN

When the Negro in America be-
came freedman, the Negro preach
err was at once recognized as the log
ical leader of the race. One expla-
nation Of this fact is that, during
the generations Of bondage, the Ne
gro so-called preacher was the only
source Of moral strength and consola-
ton for the slave. In secret spots
deep in the woods, the slaves would
gather in common prayer about the
person of the slave preacher, who be-
lieved himself ordained by God. This
slave preacher, at emancipation, be-
ing the most enlightened among his
people, was the easily accepted
leader.
They loved their people and sought
help among the rich for funds to
build schools. and churches. The
emancipation of the Negro having
been simply a transformation from
the status of a chattcl to that of a
wage-slave, the capitalist class found
in, the Negro preacher potent in
strument by which they could infiu-
ence the Negro masses to their selfish
interest. The ranks Of Negro leader
ship have widened; today II Is no
longer confined wholly to the clergy
But an unwholesome practice set by
tho clergy has been kept up; and re-
lationship between the two races for
which II is responsible, and which
cannot but encourage disrespect on
the part Of the employing class Of
the whites and bitter snimosity be-
tween the working classes II beth

Lenin Is Dead

The cIearest beacon of our century
Is now extinguished--and the toll
ers mourn.
No shrewder surgeon for society,
The womb of modern history has
borne.
Amid the turmoil Of a crashing world,
With social suicide on every hand,
BY him the futures banner was I'M
furled;
A wave of hope swept over every
land.
His name became a hopeful symbol
in the skies,
Toward which the conscious work
ers turned their eyes.
So sure in thought! so skilled to
execute
Was he! He knew the forces he
controlled
He knew each throbbing string upon
the Lutte
OF world affairs; so confident, his
hold!
This man of steel, who bent to every
need,
But never broke--at last, is brok-
en- by
The blow Of death. With eagerness,
we read
That those who followed him now
will lift high
The flag he dropped--and carry ON
the fight
Until the world Of workers rises IN
its might.

The Tribune

AS Oswald Garrison Willard said in his re-
cent book on newspapers and newspapermen,
the Chicago Tribune, which lays claim to being
"The Worlds Greatest Newspaper" would
make good bid for the position of worst. Its
blindness to news values and its callous indif-
ference to human lives was never more glar-
ingly illustrated than in the recent murder of
33 union miners at Johnston City, Ill.
A tiny and obscure paragraph told of the
findings of the coroner's jury, holding the
Crerar-Clinch Coal Co. responsible for the
deaths of the 33 workingmen who were caught
in the blast. The company's guilt was estab-
lished by its proven failure to put up danger
signs around the workings whence came the
deadly fire damp
How the Tribune tore its hair and called for
vengeance when a number of scabs and gun
men lost their lives in Williamson county in
1927 Hundreds of columns of ink were split
in the effort to bring number of union men to
the gallows But when a mine owner murders
33 union miners, just one meager item-gloss-
ing over the more vigorous parts of the
coroners verdict-is printed.
Could the class character of bosses pro-
paganda sheet be more convincingly shown?

Nebraska Beet Crop

Of irrigation.

Some fields of small beets are dying.
