a LEXIS IVANOVITCH RIKOV
4 was born March 10, 1881, in Sar-
atov 1.-THE capital Of the province of
that name in Central Russia) to
VIII, h city his peasant father moved
from the Viatka Province to engage
in trading. When Alexis, who was
the youngest member of the family,
was eight years old, his father be-
came very poor and soon died, VIC
tim of cholera.
The young Alexis was placed in
the Gymnasium Ga school with a
course of study equivalent to high
school and two years of collcgel by
his oldest sister, teacher, who main
tanned him up to his sixteenth year.
After that he was forced to earn
his own livelihood and take care of
his tuition fees.
Rikov's first contact with the revo-
lutionary movement came during the
attendance of the gymnasium where
he joined the secret study circles and
participated in the issuance of an
illegal journal. 1t was during this
period that Rikov got acquainted
with the works of Karl Marx and
other studies of the Socialist and
labor movement of Western Europe.
Suspected Of participating in revo-
lutionary circles, he was prohibited
from entering the universities of the
capitals (Leningrad and Moscow.
In Solitary Confinement.
Upon graduation from the gym
nasium in 1900, Rikov entered the
university of Kazan (now the capital
of the Tartar Soviet Republic) where
he Immediately became active in
the workers organizations and was
chosen to membership on the Lead
ing revolutionary committees. The
underground Social-democratic organ
ization of Kazan, in which Rikov
played an important role during his
short student life, was liquidated by
the secret police in 1901 thru whole
sale arrests Of the leaders.
After nine months Of solitary con-
hnement, Rikov was sent to Saratov,
TO live under police surveillance. Re-
turning to his own home town, Rikov
engaged again in active revolution
airy work among the railroad and
metal workers. He organized the
May Day Demonstration of 1902 and

regulation Of their political and eco
nomic advancement.
That this is no idle forecast was
shown in the election of delegates to
the miners state convention in Illi-
nois. The issues were clear. Won
We're either for the Lewis-F Earring
ton policies, or you were against
them, and the progressive miners do
not see any particular difference be-
tween harrington, Lewis, and the
klan. In one local union where two
suspected klansmen were badly de-
feated, and where the maiorlev Of
the delegates elected were foreign
born workers, notice was posted in
the mine, stating "That interpreters
were wanted to go to the state con-
vention," etc. A notice Ike this, ap-
pearing for the first time would have
meant but little, but in the tense
atmosphere of these southern Illinois
towns, where everybody goes armed
after dark, it took on more signifi-
cant aspect.
Trade Unions Oppose knights.
In these towns everything is union,
it is hard to find a non-union man
anywhere. The entire official trade
union movement is opposed to the Ku
Klux Klan. Where then does the
khan get its strength. It is led by
the small business element, financed
by all business groups, its purpose is
to destroy the trade union move
ment, or reduce it to khan control.
They are ably assisted by the weak
kneed passive attitude of the Off
cials Of organized labor, and have
the active support of these damn.
fool American born workers whose
understanding of life goes no fur
ther than the A. P. AS of the early
COS. They do not see that the at
tack against the foreign born work
ers, under the slogan OF 100 per
cent Americanism, is an attack on all
workers in general, irrespective Of
the place Of their birth, and upon
the labor movement in particular.
How could the Ku Klux Klan in
cities like Herrin, johnson City and
West Frankfort, etc, create a reign
Of terrorism, raid the homes Of min
ers, place themselves above the law
arrest hundreds of men and women
herd them into special cars at the
point of machine gun, if they did
not have at least the passive consent
of union officialdom.
The daily worker., 1924-03-15

served as member of the joint COM
mittee Of the Social-Democrati and
Socialist-Revolutionary parties. After
this demonstration Rikov was obliged
to assume an illegal existence, and
from that time on we find Rikov in
the ranks Of the so-called "profes-
sional revolutionists," whose whole
life is devoted to the cause Of the
revolutionary movement.
During the period Of 1902 to 1905,
Rikov occupies prominent position
in the Jaroslaw, Nijni-Novgorod,
Moscow and other social-democratic
organizations. The third congress of
the Social-Democratic party in 1905
in London elects Rikov member Of
the Central Committee Of the party
to which position he was reelected
