ONE-HALF, URGED
(By the Federated Press)

WASHINGTON.-James P. Noon
an, president, international Brother
hood of Electrical Workers, who is
agitating for the public development
and operation of hydro-electric power
and federal and state control of
er-transmission told The Fed
Grated Press that by development of
coal-burning power plants at the
mouths of the mines, and by utiliz-
ing hydro-electric power in one SUI
per-power system, the cost of light,
power and heat could be cut in half
thruout the United States.
There. is no reason why the saw
ings effected in Ontario should not
be made by the consumers in every
section of this country" he said.
ut is question of public develop
ment and control, diverting the pro-
fit of improved machinery and meth
DDS to the pockets Of the people at
large. But unless we take definite
and immediate steps to protect our
selves, the power companies will
pocket all the new profits that be-
long to us"
Noonan is backing the proposed
federal development Of Great Falls,
which would furnish current enough
to light the capital city.

Power commission of Ontario and its

one-eightieth of the average salary,
during the five years when it is
greatest, multiplied by the number
of years service, the minimum is

The annual payment by the COM
mission is to be 5 per cent of the
total salaries of all permanent en-
ployes, while each permanent en-
ploye will pay 2 IL per cent of his

Outposts are necessary to every

gle then formidable outposts are es-
sential In every country, outposts Tor
revolutionary Russia. which steadily
grow in strength until they also take
power. In q letter dated October 81,
1917, to st. Petersburg comrades, and
while still In hiding, Lenin expressed
his hopes, yes. his firm conviction,
that the greatest sympathy and un-
limited support Of the exploited Of
the whole world would be assured the
Bolsheviki as soon as they took power.
And In his speech to the Petrograd
Soviet on November 7, 1917, he said:
1.-THE burning task before US is the
liquidation of the world war. But
to end the war, It is clear, we must
first defeat capitalism. In this the in
ternational working class movement
viii help u.s."
The fond hope which Lenin carried
In his heart in those days, the hope
for unlimited support from interna-
tional labor, has in great part been
realized. That Soviet Russia, today,
seven years after It's birth. still flies
the red prolstarian banner sttests am
ply to the fact that the great powers,
singly or combined, have been unable
to again win Russia for the exploiters.
Nov. 2 Mass Celebration.
And still all Of labor is not yet
aware Of the significance of the Rus
sian revolution. And many of our own
circle Of the faithful forget at times
that the revolution is on and being on
requires courage that knows no hest
fancy. apathy or defeat.
Therefore the anniversary of the
victory Of the Russian proletariat is
given us SO that we may, once each
year, and far more than upon any
other occasion, renew our spirit our
perseverance, our hopes. The seventh
anniversary OF the Russian revolution
is with US. Seventy-nve major mass
demonstrations have been organized
in this country to win the proletariat
for the revolution. to inspire us for
It.
It becomes the revolutionary task
Of every comrade to add his every
ounce Of energy to make the demon
stration in his city challenge to the
'exploiters, a mass celebration of
