Even tho the powers Of all the

Lenin said, the idea of the revolution
would persist.
No one has charged that Lenin
used his high Office for personal gain.
There are few who question his sim

Soviet State was $50 a week.

He declared that the agency would

Lenin once said that every leader
makes mistakes, but a good leader
makes no big mistake and quickly
corrects his little mistakes. Every
one who knows the history of the
Russian revolution must recognize
that Lenin did not make single
big mistake. He was not only a
reliable adviser, but calculating and
successful adviser of the working
class.
The secret which enabled Lenin to
avoid making too great mistakes was
not in his being too cautious. On
the contrary, Lenin made no big mis-
takes because he analysed the facts
correctly and because he had the
revolutionary courage to act with au-
dacity in the decisive moment. Dam
ton, the leader of the French revolu-
ton, said that three things are neces-
sary in a revolution, "Audacity, more

Lenin's Death

Statement by the Central Executive
Committee of the Workers Party.
Lenin is dead.
For the Communists the wor
over these words tell the -los~ ~f
leader of the world proletaria
luton.
1t was Lenin's great mind which
directed the struggle of the workers
and peasants of Russia against the
Kerensky government so that victory
came for the workers. 1t was Lenin
who during the FIVE years Of bitter
and bloody struggle against counter
revolution and world imperialism,
laid down the policies and tactics
which carried the proletarian revolu-
ton on from victory to victory.
Out of the policies and tactics
which guided the workers and
peasants of Russia. in their fight
against their oppressors and ex-
ploiters have come the guiding prin-
ciples which are followed by every
Communist party in the world.
His name will go down in history
as the founder of the modern Com
munist movement To the working
class Of the world his services were
those of giving the working class
leadership in the form of the Com
munist parties.
II is in the spirit of these services
that the Central Executive Commit
tee of the Workers (Communist)
Party calls upon the workers Of this
country to honor the memory Of
Lenin.
All units of the party are instruct
ed to arrange memorial meetings on
Sunday, February Bird to the mem
DRY of Lenin and his services to the
world proletarian revolution. The
theme of the speeches in memory of
Lenin must be that Of the role Of the
Communist Party in the proletarian
revolution.
It will be thus that we can honor
Lenin most. From his mind sprang
the theories, principles, policies and
tactics which today guide the Com
munists the world over. For that
contribution to our cause we honor
him.
Lenin, our leader, is dead. But The
principles he gave US and the world
organization founded upon those
principles--the Communist Internn-
tional---lives and will carry forward
the struggle until those principles
triumph in the triumph Of the world
proletarian revolution.

TERRE HAUTE, Ind.-The death
Of Nicolai Lenin is a calamity to the

Socialist leader, said here today.
II regard Leuin as the greatest
thinker that emerged from the world
war;" Debs said. "He lowered head
and shoulders above every other
statesman in Europe.
"Lenin has passed thru an ordeal
in the past five years such as never
before faced any human being. He
has carried two bullets, fired into
his body by an assassin, and at the
same time been forced to bear a
burden of official responsibility and
care greater than any other mans

"His place in history is certain,
He will go down in history as one

three years in study and preaching,
thru his facile pen, the gospel
of Revolution. Released in 1900, he
spent the most of his time-until
1917-outside Of Russia, carrying on
revolutionary propaganda.
Lenin was in Switzerland in April
1917, when the Russian people threw
off the yoke of Czarism. The Ger
man government permitted Lenin
and 100 other revolutionists to pass
thru the country to Russia. This led
to charges that Lenin was paid
agent of Germany.
Lenin's coup which brought him
into power, came on Nov. Z, 1917,

Kerensky, president Minister of the
provisional government, which had
been growing weaker and weaker,

Because Of the epidemic of measles
now in full swing on the Harbor, 1t
was found unadvisable to hold the
meeting. About Is carpenters and
painters OF the city met the local Of
ficers and discussed the situation on
the street. Arrangements for future
meeting have not been made because
it is impossible to tell when the cpl

the Montesano local has been sent for
and when it arrives and conditions are
favorable the carpenters local Of

MEXICAN UN|ON|STS
SUPPORT 0BREGON

Two outstanding features marked
the progress of the Mexican govern
ment in overcoming the de la Huerta
rebellion during the past week, as OBJ
served at Pan American Federation
Of Labor headquarters.
First-The receipt OF information to
the effect that the Mexican Fedora
tion Of Labor has asked all affiliated
unions to refrain from strikes, in so
far as possible, until the rebellion has
been crushed. The right to strike is
not abandoned, but the use of the
strike is to be curtailed as much as
possible as q measure Of assisting the
government.
Second-The rebel forces under de
la Huerta and Sanchez have made ad-
ditional desperate efforts to win Am
erican labor support by sending cable
grams and radio messages to Ameri-
can union officials, seeking to repre-
sent the rebellion as pro-labor. The
facts are too well known, Of course,
to permit of any success for this prop
aganda.
The action In regard to strikes was
broadcasted through Mexico by means
Of circular letter from the executive
committee OF the Mexican Federation
of Labor Grievances will be settled
without resorting to strike wherever
possible. The American Federation of
Labor took the same stand during the
world war
EzeQuiel Salcedo, one Of Mexico's
leading trade unionists, has been ap-
pointed by the state legislature of
Zacatecas as temporary governor dur
ing the illness Of Governor Donate
Moreno
Farmers and wage earners in many
states have assured President Obregon
Of their support and are organizing a
volunteer combat units. Army officers
have been assigned to assist in or
ganizing workers and farmers who
will combat the rebel forces.
The cooperation between the Mexi-
can labor movement and the Mexican
government Is becoming more effect
i've each week.

Ell PASO, Texas, Jan. 25.-H Paso
already is preparing for the 1924 con-
vention of the American Federation Of
Labor, determined to make the event
one that will long remain conspicuous
in labor history as an event of out
standing Importance.
Not in years has the A. F. of La had
at its disposal for convention purposes
a meeting place as we'll suited to it's
needs as the great auditorium in
which the Ell Paso sessions will be
held.
The city has spent $4,000 on the
single item of acoustics and the great
hall is probably now one of the best
in the United States from that stand
point.
The seating capacity of the audito-
rum is ample to accommodate not
only the A. F. Of L. convention, but it
will easily accommodate the joint ses-
sionssof the A. F. Of L. and the Mexi-
-ean Federation OF Labor

Morrison of the A. F. of L. These Of
ficials spent some days in FL Paso,
making arrangements for the 1924
convention.
Representatives of the Mexican
Federation of Labor also have been
in the city arranging for ther 1924
convention, which is to be held across
the Rio Grande in Juarez while the
A. F. of L. convention is in session
here. Many of the Mexican delegates
will make their headquarters in FL
Paso during the convention, owing to
inadequate accommodations to be had
In Juarez.
The international importance of the
1924 convention grows with each
week. 1t is predicted here that this
joint gathering will prove one of the
most important events in all the his
tory of the relations between the Unit
ed States and Mexico.
II is well known that the labor re-
latlons existing between the two coun-
tries already have played an impor-
tant role and that they are destined to
assume a much larger Importance al

its fifth annual convention in Contra

1926 meeting place. This is in keep
ing with the plan launched here some
time ago to bring all the conventions
to the Harbor possible during the next

number of telegrams from Aberdeen
organizations and the mayor were
sent to Centralia asking for the con-
vention. Heber White and John

convention, put up a strong fight
against Anacortes delegation, which
also wanted the 1925 convention.
