him with vivid realization. Then he
felt a pulse hammering in his temple,
and mad rage In his heart that con-
centrated all his thoughts, with terrific
energy upon the desire for vengeance.
Across the square, presented to him
with vivid delneation, as if a finger
had picked it out, he saw through the
crowds the figure of Sam Simpson en-
tering the Chronicle Office
He pushed his way through the mob
and made for the building. 1t was a
| single story brick edifice, consisting of
two rooms the pressroom and the edi-
torial office. Through the one window
of the former Winton saw the single
linotype at work. under the charge Of
Malopo's single operator.
Through the doorway he saw the ed
itor. Hanson, seated at a table, bent
over pile of proofs, and Sam Simpson
standing beside him. Winton entered
and slammed down the paper upon
, the table

throng.

Winton, two or three evenings later.
Much bad transpired during the briei
interval The gangs Of natives had ar
rived at the compound and started op
erations. under the immediate charge
of Seaton, who had turned up sober al
the appointed time. The old man
worked diligently and showed that he
knew his business. He had not touched
drop of liquor. But Sheila had not
accompanied him TO the cottage, and
Winton had asked no questions.
What surprised Winton was the fact
that the natives seemed TO regard old

Winton. interrupting because he could
not endure any reference to Sheila
There was something in his tone that
checked Burns on the threshold of his
disclosures.
''Why, supposed you knew. Mr. Gar
rett. The old man used to be sort OF
chief among these Kafirs. Lived among

there amt much to that story, though"
he added refectively.
Winton realized that there was prob
ably more behind the story than Ned
wished to disclose. And it came to
him with a sudden shock that Ned

willing. on that account. to be as frank
as he might have been.
On the night of the natives arrival, |
when there was confusion and some
thing of an uproar over the ALLEGATION
of quarters, Winton was a little sur
prised to perceive the Hottentot Bot
tlejohn in conversation with his com
pound manager. There was a rule for
bidding the presence of strange natives
in the compounds. Winton did not
feel in position to be stickler for
the present, but the manner in which
the Hottentot passed him without
recognition struck him as odd.

over these issues subsidized and in
the Howat case at the end of the
convention, put on its hat and coat
and went home.
The rAiners' union is the most pow
erful worl1ingclass organization in
America, and the most militant. 1t
is a fighting organization, and is
permeated with radicalism. The
communists have a splendid oppor-
tunity to secure the leadership of
that great fighting aggregation. The
groundwork was laid for future ac-
tivity at the Indianapolis conven-
ton. And that really was the only
worth while accomplishment during
the two weeks that the delegates
were in session. The radicals left
with a practical program for i'm
mediate action and the machinery
necessary to put that program into
effect.
The activity Of the Workers Par
ty at the convention, its generalship,
the amount Of literature it distrib-
uted, the meetings it arranged, and,
most important of all, the part
played by the DAILY WORKER, is
a testimony to the virility Of the
only communist party in America,
and its complete hegemony of the
left wing working class political
movement in the United States.

and, instead of throwing a single
miner out of employment, Let us
shorten the work day and divide
what work there is equally among
u.s."
The miners have no love for the
coal operators, but have been taught
that without them there would be
no coal mined, therefore, no work,
and no food, clothing and shelter.
The radicals are teaching the miners
that coal operators do not dig coal,
that they do not even manage the
coal mines, this being done in the
great majority of cases by hired
men, and that the elimination of
the coal operator from the mining
industry would mean that those who
dig the coal and manage the mines
would receive, in addition 70 what
they get now, that part Of the pro-
duction which goes to the absent coal
operator in profits.
When these facts sink into the
heads Of the active minority in the
miners union they will rally to the
leaders who are now being erucifed
by John L. Lewis, because they are
fighting for their class. The rad

A book afame with the South.
Dark passion throbs in It. The color
Of the South is in the book, the
South where the songs Of our land
are born and flourish, where suffer-
ing bears songs, where the color Of
life Is black and a deep red. Waldo
Frank Is poet, he reaches the
heights Of poetry in his prose. he
has CAUGHT the warmth Of the place
he describes. he has woven about it
q beautiful story that hardly seems
like story, that is a poem and that
Is wing. This book Of Waldo
Franks is a living thing.
II isn't as if Won took the book
On and read It thru and said to
yourself, "0h, Just another story, just
another novel;" 1t is not like other
books. for there is nothing artificial
about it, it is a live thing, it lives
with you. There is the feel of the
South in It, and not simply study
Of dialect and curious customs for
the passion throbbing in it tran
sends these things.
A white woman is drawn TO a
NEGRO, and the Negro feels the
white beauty Of the woman upon
him. The white woman is to blame
If there is anv blame. But she re-
fuses TO take the blame. she refuses
TO intercede for the Negro. In a
moment of unguardedness when she
was her real self on that Holiday,
she was drawn to the Negro ire
sistibly, but later she has collected
herself, her face is drawn again, her
lips are tieht, and the Negro, John
Cloud. bangles from rope.
John Cloud brushes a boll-weevil
between his fingers, and even so the
white man brushes the Negro. A
black man falls into the water, and
no white man jumps in to fetch him
out, to save him from drowning.
They let him drown because his skin
ia black. That is the hatred that
exists down in the South, a hatEki
that breeds hatred, that ends with
lynching. "John moves. In the ST.
lent gap between the passing black
man and the whites, lives a red
sore that thought and time must
swell" Why this hatred? 1t is
not natural, at bottom there is love
between black and white. At bot
tom there is love between Virginia
Hade and John Cloud, but the ha-
tired is the only thing one can see
on the surface. This hatred that is
only on the surface must disappear
some day and give wav to the real
thing underneath, but while it exists
there are lynchings.
Judge Hade says this to his
daughter, Virginia: Daughter,
you're smart. Smart enough to run
this business by yourself. That !
allow. But you-ar amt smart
enough to run the South" That's
at the bottom Of it, the white men,
or a clique Of them. the rich white
men, want 70 run the South. And
