The Importance of having every
child present a birth certificate on the
opening of school is impressed upon
parents; nevertheless, little Mary ap-
peared without one. After listening
to the teachers explanation, and the
order that she go home and get the
certificate, the child departed in
tears.
"Why, Nary" said another teacher,
encountering her in the hall. "Where
are you going? That isn't the way
my dear. You must go right back
into the room with the others"
ooh, teacher, teacher!" cried Mary,
bursting into fresh tears, 81 can't!

COMPENSATION FUND

There is just a surplus of $2,240,-
900 in the Ohio workmen's compensa-
tion fund, according to T. J. Duffy
chairman of the state industrial COM
mission.
Lots of folks entertain the idea that
the fund has an enormous surplus
ranging around $4O,000,000, repre-
senting payments to the state fnud
made in excess of claims paid out.
Such sum is on hand, but it repre-
sents awards made in accident cases,
now being paid to the victims of their
beneficiaries in weekly installments.

COmrade TrOtsky Can't
Explain This

Comrade Trotsky is not helping himself or the
Communist International by the continuation Of
his opposition expressed in his recent book,
lessons Of the 1917 Revolution" He is member
of the political bureau Of the Russian Communist
Party and his opposition is therefore the more
reprehensible than if it came from one of the rank
and file.
Comrade Trotsky approaches genius In many
ways, but it seems that he has never learned to
submerge himself in the party except during
periods Of the greatest crisis He must express his
individuality at all costs and in nation which
has the whole of the capitalist world to fight such
an attitude on the part of one of the leading COM
rades of the ruling Communist Party is danger,
not only to the Russian working Glass; but to the
whole revolutionary movement
Comrade Trotsky has many admirers in America
he even has a few imitators in the American
Communist Party-and his departure from lead
ing position in the Communist International and
the Russian Communist Party, inevitable if his
present attitude is continued, will cause more ex-
element here than in Russia where the party is
supreme
The ill-concealed glee with which the capitalist
and socialdemoctatic press greets every new OPP
position utterance of Comrade Trotsky ought to
be enough to convince him of his error. Certainly
it is enough to convince millions of far more
humble and less able comrades in the parties of
the Communist international.
This joyous chronicling of his opposition by the
blacklist enemies of the worlds working class is
something that not all Of Trotskys literary skill
is able to explain away.

The Bully Becomes a Bum

The immediate outcome of the volcanic situa-
ton in Italy is not hard to predict.
There will be entente cordiale between the
remnants of fascism and the constitutional opposi.
tion-a united front against the Communists and
the working class-for a time. This is already
forecast in the speech of Mussolini who frightened
the yellow socialists and liberals and caioled them
into giving him another vote of confidence by play
ing up his downfall as surrender to Communism.
That it would be tantamount to this one will
deny who is familiar with the speedy march of
events in Italy The bloody and bombastic bully,
Mussoini, has become cawing raven with spotted
plumage that droops more sadly at every new
victory Of the Communists. His loud challenges to
the whole world have shrunk to whispered exhorta-
tons for aid from the constitutional opposition
which, like Mussoini, sees and fears the advancing
forces of the italian working class who have
learned in the last year and half how to deal with
their oppressofs and betrayers Mussoini, the bold
"bad man, has become Mussoini the bum--beg
ging fav0rs from former enemies.
The Italian situation is full of gloom for capital
ism and its procurers but full of hope and promise
Of victory for the workers.

There is definite revival of left wing sentiment
in the labor movement In the Amalgamated
Association of Iron, Steel and Tin Workers. in the
railway terminals where the shop crafts are EN-
ployed, even in the Carpenters Union, long be-
lieved almost lost, election results and actions of
the workers indicate new militancy.
In line with this is the great revolt of the rank
and file of the miners against the continuous be-
trayals of Lewis and his underlings The anthracite
territory is in open rebellion and Lewis has an
swered with the old weapon of the reactionary
enemies of the labor movement of
charters, disruption of the union, denunciaton of
the striking miners in the capitalist press united
front with the bosses and Vilifcation of the left
wing elements
The best way to get clear idea of exactly what
this expulsion of thousands of miners from the
union means at this time, is to briefly review the
condition in which the union is at present. 1t is
the target of well-planned and carefully organ
lied attack from the coal operators association.
Non-union mines in the south are being developed
rapidly and the coal from these mines is given
preference over undermined coal right in the
natural markets of the union districts. Even with
winter coming on the union has been unable to
develop over fifty per cent employment for its
members because of the flood of nonunion coal
The crying need is for organization of these non
union fields, but instead of this the Lewis machine
disrupts the union in the districts that are needed
to furnish the money and men for organization
work in the scab territory.
This is playing the game of the bosses with a
vengeance and it is wonder that the Lewis ma
chine hates with poisonous hatred the Workers
Communist Party and the Trade Union Educa
tional League that exposes this betrayal of the
dues-paying membership and the whole working
class.

WASHINGTON, Dec. BERGER is
keenly enjoying the situation created
by the LaFollette movement
"Sen. LaFollette has fought the re-
publican party and left it; there Is no
question about that" he has told the
press. 1.-THE senators barred by the
republican caucus have made speech
es charging that the republican party
is corrupt and operates as the enemy
Of the farmers and wage workers, as
an enemy of the common people. They
have done all they possibly could to
defeat the republican party.
There is just as much cause and
reason to keep them out Of the repub-
lican caucus as there would be to
keep me out if claimed now to be
a republican. l believe it is dishonest
o use a false label to get into Office.
sen. LaFollette has nothing to lose by
making good his promise, by joining
a new party. The chances are that
he will be reelected to the senate in
four years if he takes that course. AS
for the house members they may
feel the loss of committee appoint
ments but they must be willing to
pay the price if they are to be pion-
GERS"
LaFollette's circular letter to state
chairmen of the progressive campaign
organization is indicative of his in
tention to do the thing that Berger
urges him to do. After thanking
the chairmen for their efforts in the
campaign in which he says a vote of
100000 was cast for the independent
ticket, the Wisconsin senator sounds
the keynote have just begun
to fight" He says the Coolidge organ
ization employed misrepresentation
Islander and intimidation to an extent
hitherto never dreamed Of in Amer
lean politics, and he emphasizes the
economic pressure applied in every
direction to break down the political
revolt of the people.
I'm order that we may carry on the
work we have begun" he asks for de-
tailed information as to names and
addresses of persons who helped in
the campaign, the character and ex-
etnt of work done, the character of in
timidation and SANDER used by the op-
position, the cost of the campaign on
both sides and the result of the final
count of ballots. Repeatedly he warns
them against becoming discouraged
at the outcome of this battle; I'VE just

The class nature of judicial processes in the

Opium and morphine statesmen, white slavers
and defaulting bankers, being more or less useful
to capitalism at times, must be accorded their con
stitutional rights. But striking workers and revo

that makes judges and dope tiends common de-
tenders of its sanctity, need be given such con
sideration They are without the pale and any
evidence-none at all is better, according to Gen
eral Panther-and any method is good that puts

The European Crisis

Two facts stand out from the European dis
patches of the last three days.
l. That there is a great revival of revolutionary
sentiment and action on the continent, and
q That the capitalist governments are hysterical
and fearful of mass Uprisings right at the time
when the Dawes plan was supposed to have luled
the masses into that state of somnolence which is
necessary for their successful plundering.
One more conclusion can be drawn from the
European news and its full significance will be
understood. 1t is that under the domination of
American capital to which every western European
power is mortgaged now, there is being prepared
another offensive against Soviet Russia that waits
a favorable opportunity to go into action.
The success of the Dawes plan depends upon the
wholesale subjugation of European labor. The
Communists in every nation are the leaders of the
fight against the Dawes plan and it is the purpose
of the capitalist governments to crush the Com
munist parties which take the lead in organizing
the European working class against the Dawes
plan and against war on Soviet Russia.
Raids, arrests and mass murder are not going
to stamp out the Communist parties. The European
working class already know that they have been
sold by their rulers to American imperialism. The
capitalists of Europe have lost their greatest pro
paganda weapon. They can no longer raise the
slogan Of defense of the fatherland and rally the
masses of the workers who know that the House
Of Morgan speaks thru every European cabinet
The raids on the Communists, as in France and
Germany, the death sentences passed out en- masse
in Esthonia, Spain, Roumania and Bulgaria, the
foolish stories of the ''tottering Soviet govern
ment" are not evidence of the strength of European
capitalism but of new crisis within it that means
it's greater instability and greater movements
of the working class led by the Communist parties,
a continual acute crisis that even floods of Amer
lean gold cannot cure.

WHAT CAUSES OUR PooRNEss7


Translated from "Nasha MoIodjezh"
BY HELEN vRABEL (13 years old.)
Did you ever stop 10 think why we
are so poor? Did you ever talk to
your parents about IL? No? Wouldn't
you like to know why we cannot have
everything like the rich people? Or
course you do
First of ell let us consider how we
live. All the things we need for our
comfort. for the comfort Of those we
love and which we cannot afford to
buy.
We are told at school what kind of
food to eat to give as strength but
our mother has just so much money
to spend on food and she must buy the
food that is cheap and satisfies our
hunger rather than that which will
build bodies Tor US. Such expen-
siye food Is for those who have money
to spend without an end.
The stores are filed with good warm
clothes. They are beautiful to look
at. We need new clothes but we
know that we can only wear the
clothes our parents can afford to buy
for us. Most Of us must wear clothes
that our mother makes over from old
clothing.
When we come home from school
everywhere in our home we see poor.
ness. Our mother is so tired from
overwork that she hardly has time or
the strength to talk to us, let alone
play with US. Our father comes home
from work, eats his supper and then
