Lenir Death Can {
Cause Injury To
Powerful Russia

A wave Of support for the cent
raj committee will probably be Gre
ated by Lenin's death, says F. A.
Mac Kenzie, a Moscow correspond
ent for an American newspaper syn
dictate. The Russian government, he
adds, is now too vast a machine to
be jettisoned by the death of any one
man-even Lenin.
For more than a year, the cor
respondent reasons, Lenin took no
active part in the government and
immensely loved as he was by the
peasants his death will have no ad-
verse political effect.
In a personal and emotional way
the shock Of the great Premier's
death has been profound, Mackenzie
testifies. Vast Russia from the far
flung villages of Siberia to the towns
Of the Crimea is dazed.

inferred in the Kremlin wall.
Tens of thousands of his comrades
are to be given an opportunity to
gaze for the last time on the stilled
features of the most powerful re-
evolutionary figure of all times.
Lenin, after lingering illness, died
at $50 P. NJ, at his villa at Gorl1y,
passing away while unconscious. A
cerebral hemorrhage caused paralysis
of the respiratory organs.
(Note: An official announcement
by the Russian Soviet Government
confirms our previous reports that
Lenin's death occurred exactly $3.50

ously reported by other sources.t
The chief care of Russia's present
leaders-mingled with their great
and genuine SORROWS that there
shall be no opportunity for enemies
of the Soviet to take advantage of
Lenin's passing.
Lenin Died Uncomplaining.
Nicolai Lenin died silent, uncom-
planning. An eye witness to the
passing of the Russian Premier gave
to the DAILY WORKER today the
first story Of how the end came.
At noon Monday Lenin told his
household he had slight headache
and went to bed.
Professors Forester and Ossipoff,
Lenin's wife and his sister, Buchari,
were the only ones present when the
death agony set in at $40 P. NJ.
Lenin spoke not a single word. He
was unconscious at the last.
After death had been pronounced,
the body was dressed in a brown
suit, with white socks and soft
brown slippers and placed on a table
in the reception room.
The Premier's face showed no
change. 1t has a healthy appear

The table was heaped with flowers.
His Comrades Arrive.
A little later the minister of the
Soviet government began to arrive,
having come hurriedly from Moscow
to Gorky, where Lenin's villa is To-
Gated.
Stain, Kalinin, Zinoviev and Ka-
menev reached the villa at IL P. M.
All were weeping heartbrokenly.
Their lamentations were kept up
thruout the night.
After the ministers, came throngs
of peasants, pouring out to Gorky in
continuous stream. surrounding

Vice. President Of Miners Takes
Slap at Radicals
By JOHN FITZGERALD

(staf Correspondent of The Daily wOrker)
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind.-The
first real clash to take place
since the opening of the U. M.
w. of A, convention here was
staged this morning when the
committee on officers recon-
mended approval of Vice
President Murray's report.
One section of the report
mentioned the Progressive Min
ers International Committee in
general and Thomas Myers
cough, its secretary, in particu-
lar. The report charged the
Progressive Committee with trying to
induce striking western Pennsylvania
miners to accept a reduction in wages
at q mass-meeting held in Axelton
on Nov. 25. 1921.
The committee recommendation
to accept the report was no sooner
made than several delegates were on
flute the charges made.
Delegate James Oates. of Charlie
rol, Pa, declared that he attended
the meeting in question and but for
the work Of Myerscough and others
the operators would have succeeded
in breaking the ranks Of the striking
miners and reducing wages.
His statement was substantiated
by Frank Mercantile of Local Union
4546, one of the signers of the call
for special meeting in Monongahela
to discuss the situation on Dec. 4,
1921.
Mercantile stated that he had been
union member since he was thirteen
years old. He had attented the meet
ing In Axelton, testified to the good
work Of Myerscough and others in
preventing a wage-cut.
Delegate John Hindmarsh of Riv-
erton, ILL.,, asked President Muir
ray if he wished to leave the impress
sion that the members of the Pro-
gressive Miners, who signed tie call
for mass-meeting, on Dec. A, adj
vocated a wage-cut. Murray an

urged that the convention refuse to
condemn Myerscough or any other
miner on one sided evidence with
out hearing the other side Of the
case"
Pagan Contradicts Murray.
President Pagan, of District No. 5,
admitted in his speech d the ques-
ton that Myerscough and Cutler
spoke against reduction in wages.
President Lewis, just before the
vote was taken, announced that My
erscough's case would be heard be-
fore the convention adjourned. The
report was finally adopted by show
