Ruthenberg Speaks.
The meeting was closed by a short
talk by Comrade c. E. Ruthenberg,
who remembered, that in a meeting
held more than year ago, in the
building of the Slovak comrades, Com
rade Beranek showed unmistakable
signs, that he is not a Communist. At
that time he was irrate at the idea
Of the Workers Party proclaiming it.
self as Communist party.
In his closing remarks, Comrade
Ruthenberg urged every comrade to
see that his branch passed resolu-
ton for the return of the control of
the property in the hands of the bu-
reau. No man in the movement can
take advantage of the trust given him
and get away with It.
After that the following resolution
was adopted:
Resolution.
"The general membership meeting
called by the C. e. c. of the Workers
Party expresses its resentment at the
actions of the Board of Directors and
Comrade Charles H. Beranek. II con-
dennis their disrupting efforts. and
supports the Bureau OF the Section, TO
which it extends its full confidence.
1t calls upon the Board of Directors
and Comrade Beranek to come to con-
seriousness in time and to act like dis
ciplined comrades in accord with the
constitution of the Workers Party
and in the interest of the Czecho-
slovak section of the w. p. Should
they fail to do SO, the membership
meeting expresses its distrust to the
Board of Directors and Comrade Be-
ranek and demands Of them to return
the property to the party, and that
Comrade Beranek surrender his trus.

Only two hands were raised. when
the chairman asked those against the
resolution to signify so. They we're
the hands Of two employees Of the
"Spravedlnost," one bookkeeper and
one typesetter This fact was fitting
ly acknowledged by the rest of the
members who adjourned, determined
TO see the issues cleared in face OF
the opposing faction, which has ig-
nored this properly called meeting,
called for this Saturday by the Board
OF Directors.

KUzBAS COAL
OUTPUT GAINS
OVERCAST YEAR
Americans Work at
Kenerovo Goes on
Especial to the Daily Worker.)

Especial to the Daily Worker.)
NEW YORK, June S.-The output
of coal in the Kemerovo field in the
Kuznetsky basin (under the control of
the American colony known as "Kuz-
bas') has improved since the middle
of December. The number OF I'M
skilled workers and clerks has been
reduced. The electric power station
was completed and opened in Febru-
airy. This station supplies the chem
ical plant, the pits, the workers viii
lage and the surrounding country.
The coke ovens were started at the
end of February. Since March they
have been working regularly. Coke is
being transported to the Urals to the
blast furnaces and also to the central
industrial region.
Output in the Kemerovo coal field
for the first five months Of the cur
rent year October, 1928, to Febru-
airy, 1924 was $500 tons, as com
pared with $1,000 tons for the same
period last year. The local consump-
ton this year was $500 tons, COM
pared with 10000 tons last year. The
monthly production per worker this
year was GA tons, compared with As,
and the monthly production per coal
newer 55.5 tons, compared with 80
tons.
The increase in local consumption
is explained by the fact that there
was a decline in the output at the be-
ginning Of the working year. This
figure includes the amount of coal
necessary for heating the homes OF
the workers who are not engaged in
coal mining. This consumption will
be considerably reduced when the
gas from the chemical plant is util-
ized at the electric power station.
More miners are about to leave for
Kemerovo from the United States, as
other mines are likely to be taken
over during the present var.

The bureau took immediate &C

the board Of directors to remind them
that they are a committee subjected
to the rules of the party. the decisions
Of the convention and the bureau as
the acting representative of the Sec

board of directors would not even

addressed to each member of the
board of directors, whether he wants
to abide by the party constitution and
the decisions of the convention, which
ordered a new Incorporation of the

was and still is incorporated in the

Since this open break with the
board of directors the bureau met
with another break of Communist

the part Of the board of directors. The
bureau found a judges injunction is

which is a literature department Of
the Czechoslovak section, subjected
directly to the bureau.
Comrade vajtauer compared these
tactics of the comrades Beranek and
the B. of d. to the "Pendrekiade" Of
Czechoslovakia, where the property Of
the workers was, with the aid OF po-
lice clubs (called "pendreks'') and the
backing Of the socialist" government,
stolen from the left wing majority,

KVALINSK, Rus lathe John
Reed colony of so children in an old
monastery near Kvalinsk, who have
now lived almost unaided through a
pioneering winter, give me this list of
things they need.
1t is amazing how well they man
age on so little. They want medi-
cine chest, with quinine, iodine. sui
phur ointment, and the simple things
needed in rough, new land for ma
laria, itch and infected wounds.
They ask for tools, knives for
leather-cutting and a lathe. And
pruning knives and saws for their or
chard. And a flat-jron All winter
they have washed clothes, but not
ironed them. And they want paints
and papers, for the first thing the
Russians learn, after making a living,
is art. And they want $40 for four
beehives, for an old beekeeper offers
to sell out to them and give free in
struction.
Last autumn when l visited Kva-
linsk and saw the difficulties, 1 saw
also fine estate down the river. The
government would give it to them for
nothing, if they had the means to run
it. But they lack the $4,000 which
would keep the place going till har-
vest. After the first harvest it would
support thousand children.
Not only are they making a living;
they are getting an education. They
are building for themselves a home.
One night the boys began to ques-
ton their teacher. ''WilI you send us
away when we are 16, as they do in
the city children's homes?"
"No, this is working colony. We
will not send you away"
But after that, we shall be 20 years
old even"
Even SO, we will not send you
away"
"But If we should want to get mar
ried?"
"Then we can build an extra room
for you. You can stay here or go to
the city to work as you choose"
"But this will always be homer"
Eyes, this will always be home"
They are still hoping that from
somewhere will come money to take
the fine estate down river, and to let
in the scores of children who come
drifting to them down the Volga,
drawn by the news Of the John Reed
colony. And to make a really effici-
rent farm, model to the peasants, /
am hoping they will get this.
But meantime they have gone
ahead, without waiting.
There are hundreds of thousands of
pioneer children like these in Russia.

WAY FOR RITES
u. S. Stops Adolescent
Ceremonies
By M. A. DEFoRD

(Federated Press correspondent
SAN FRANCISCO, June S.-The de.
cision of the Pueblo Indians of New
Mexico to offer passive resistance to
attempts by the federal government to
abrogate their ancient religion has
caused much sympathetic feeling
among friends of the Indians in Cali
fornia. The San Francisco Methodist
Ministers Association has protested
to Secretary of the Interior Work,
pleading that the Indians be left their
tribal customs, and a nucleus was
formed to fight in the Indians behalf.
Government Stops Tribal Rites.
The point Of the controversy lies in
the governments insistence that In
dian boys be no longer kept out of
school for year, as has been the GUS
tom, to prepare them for the religious
rites of adolescence-sort of novi-
tate for the tribal priesthood. The
Indians say they are willing to have
the boys go to school year longer,
but they must have one year off or
the tribal religion will fall. The atti-
tude Of Indian Commissioner Burke,
from whom this and other rulings OBJ
nuxious to The Indians arose, has been
hostile.
Want Their Religious Ways.
Now the Indians have taken leaf
from Ghandi's book, and announced
that they will not yield to this perse-
cution but will offer nonresistance
and nonco-operation to the govern
ment's demands. Assembled in con-
ference at San Domingo Pueblo, N.
M, they ended their ultimatum with
the words: "There is no future for
the race Of the indians II its religion
is killed" They state that religious
liberty was the first right granted
them by the treaty of Guadalupe Hi
dalgo, whereby Mexico ceded this ters
ritory to the United States.
Burke, who has publicly referred I'd
the Indians as half animals, also de-
mands that the religious dances be
limited TO one a month, seven months
year, and be participated In only by
those over so years Of age. Regard
ing this as a direct attack on their
ancient faith, the Indians will resist
this ruling also.

LaFollette Not Blind But
Will Not See
BY LAURENCE TODD

Federated Press staff Correspondent.
WASHINGTON, June S.-La Fol-
lette, who thus far has refused to
acknowledge the need for establishing
a working class party, himself fur
nished proof Of that need when he
drove the senate to three roll calls to
determine the issue of its willingness
to stay In session this summer and
legislate in the temporary interest of
the farmers, the railroad workers and
the consumers who are robbed by ex-
tortionate railroad rates. He was
downed on every vote, by a combina-
ton of Republicans and Democrats
that represented the two old party ma
chimes. They would not remain in
session, after recess for the conven-
ton period, to consider economic
measures that might help the bank
rupt farmers, the railroad workers
and the victims of rail rate robbery.
The vote of S6 to 81 by which La
Follette's recess resolution was de-
feated, the vote Of 35 to SO by which
the Frazier proposal OF two-weeks
extension of the present session was
killed, and the vote of SO to SO by
which final adjournment on June z
was adopted, showed that The two old
parties had no anxiety as to the vote
of the exploited classes: they ap-
pealed TO the classes That maintain
reaction. And were It not for the fact
that an early vote on the Ford offer
for Muscle Shoals was involved in the
LaFollette plan, the strength of his
group would have been much less. or
the Democrats, 20 we're with La Fol-
lette and 10 against him; except for
Muscle Shoals, the division would
have been 10 for and 26 against his
program OF farmer and labor relief.
