Workers Republic, the next great

always people who would father run

Russian Communist Party allows
these people to choose themselves
by a hard and simple test. It is a

Thus the acute unemployment in
Fail River, Lawrence, New Bedford,
the Pawtucket Valley, ETC., is large
ly caused by the shift in production
and not by a crisis in the textile
industry as a whole. The completion
of the great textile merger of
year and half ago, which cen,
tralized almost the entire industry,
has made it possible for the textile
trust to close down the New England
mills and throw the production
into the southern section without
causing injury to the capitalist in
terests involved. The increased
profits from the lower wages and
child labor Of the south go to pay
interest on the idle investments in
the north.
The comparison between the total
employed in December, 1922, and
December, 1923, does not, Of course,
give anything like a complete pic
ture Of the employment condition in
the textile industry. Employment
figures month by month for the
years 1921-22-23 shows the stretch
between the low and high points,
which are January, 1921, and March.
1923, respectively, to be a little
over $4,000. More Illuminating are
the yearly averages which are for
the three years, 255,580; 248,361,
and 273,331. The number employed
for December 1928, is seen to be
$4,000 or a little below the peak
figure and $4,000 Of IL per cent
above the low point. 1t is interest
ing to note, however, that there is
no such tremendous fluctuations in
the yearly averages.

Howthe Communists Keep Powerin Russia

The Communist group in every
factory and village will debate it..
and send delegates to a district
meeting. The district meeting will
discuss it again, among other ques-
tions, without censorship and with
concrete charges of oppression and
abuse of POWER. The districts will
then send delegates to regional con-
ferences and thence to the Caucasian
or Ukrainian or White Russian
Party Congress; till at last the
views of the entire membership meet
and mingle in the great All-Russian
Congress, ultimate authority on the
policy of Eussia's ruling Party.
When policy is once determined,
whether it be a question of the
management of heavy industry, or
of the relation of little nationalities
within the Soviet federaion-it be-
comes the duty of all party members
to go home and explain to the
people of Russia just why the deci-
sion was reached. 1t is their job
to justify the government To the
people, and see that the complaints
of the people reach and influence
the government before the pressure
becomes zoo great. Long before the
petty discontents of peasants or coal
miners or Ukrainians or Armenians
can reach the stage of organized
protest, vast network Of the Com
munist machine detects these dis
contents and appraises them. A
recent series of strikes in South
Russia caused much searching of
heart in the Central Executive of
the Party. "What is the matter
with our local Communist groups"
they asked, "that they did not dis
cover these discontents and meez
them in time"
Party Realistic.
In its daily action the Commun-
list Party Is highly realistic. While
it has a definite goal for Russia Z
future development, it does not at
tempt to enforce that goal at once.
1t caters to popular desires, trying
always to mold that desire in the
direction of it's own aims. For in
stance, there , is a grear desire
among peasants for modern agricul-
tural machinery; the government
imports machinery, but sells by
preference thru peasants co-opera
tives which farm their land IN com.

OF the use CT economic pressure to
guide the development of Russia in
the direction it wishes.

on, and their part in relation to
Russia and the rest Of the world.

paign on unemployment, giving an
increasing amount Of attention and
space to it. Every Party committee
must make a special study Of unenl-
ployment as it develops its particu-
lar sphere of activity and report
from time to time to the Central
Executive Committee. Workers
Party members must participate in
leading position in every action
of the unemployed, giving it direc-
ton and consciousness.
AS unemployment develops upon
mass scale nationally, which Is
definitely to be expected in the not
distant future, the Party must take
the lead in Stimulating, initiating and
organizing, councils of the unem-
ployed in cooperation with the
unions and other workers organiza-
tions, upon local, state, industrial
and national basis.
(NOte on Textile Industry
The textile industry is like coal
mining and copper, suffering from a
large shift in production from one
field to another. This makes the
unemployment problem severely felt
in many New England textile CEN
tiers which are operating at from 20
to go per cent Of capacity. In the
textile industry as a whole, how
ever, there is not the paralysis in
dicated by the condition in New
England, because the southern mills
are running at 100 per cent to 100
per cent of single shift capacity.
The average for the textile industry
as while is around "a per cent at

Any worker or peasant, whether
Communist, might bring charges
against a party member, that he

NEW HIGHWAY TO BLOWING
ROCK TO BE OPENED SOON

A new road, offering more di-
rect route to Charlotte to4IOMa
rect route from Charlotte to Blow
ing Rock will be opened for travel
July 10, when state highway engi-
neers will declare the stretch be-
tween Newton and Lincolnton ready
for traffic. u
The stretch between Lincolnton
and Newton has been paved with
concrete and is 18 miles long. The
road is 18 feet wide and it is ex-
pected that the concrete will be
sufficiently settled to permit traffic
within 10 days.
The opening of the new road
will give two roads between Char
lotte and Blowing Rock. The other
is via Statesville, and is between
two and three miles longer than the
road through Lincolnton.
There is only one detour on the
Statesville road, this one being only
distance Of three miles, just out
side of Statesville. By way of Lin
colnton there is stretch between
Charlotte and Mount Holly and an
other between Lincolnton and Gas
tonia, not yet paved.
| Motorists leaving Charlotte for
the Blue Ridge Mountains can reach
Blowing Rock in three hours driving
time. Most of the route is paved and
those stretches not hard surfaced are
sand-clay constructed and are in very
good condition.

MAY HAVE UNTIL Is
TOGET AUTOPLATE
Immense Task of Registering Titles
and Issuing New Licenses Make
Extension of Time Limit Necessary

Automobile owners of North Car.
olina will have until July Is to OBJ
tain state licenses and register title
to their autos. This extension was
granted by Secretary of State W. N.
Everett, who has recently visited sew
eral OF the branch offices of the auto
mobile department of the office of the
secretary of state. The time would
otherwise have expired at the close
of June 80.
At Morganton, Lenoir, Statesville,
Salisbury, Lexington. High Point and
Winston Salem he found large groups
of people trying to obtain their IL
cense and register their automobiles.
Some of them, he said, had been STAN
ding in line for hours unable to reach
the registration and license desk.
ut is unfair to subject these peo-
pie who want to trade with the state
of North Carolina to arrest for not
having obtained license and register
ed their automobiles" said Mr.. Ev-
erett. 'In view Of this obvious ap-
lication of JUSTICE" he added, 81 have
extended the time until July Is and
will appreciate it if this statement
receives wide publicity"
AS result of Mr.. Everett's ex-
tension of time limit, no owner of
an automobile will be subject to ar
rest for not having current license
plates until after July Is.
There are thirty eight branch Of
fees in the state. Mr.. Everett says
the main Office at Raleigh expects to
maintain these branch offices for the
cost of mailing out the license from
Raleigh. Thus far the project has
worked out satisfactorily and justifes
the aims of the department. The reg
istration of title requirements renders
the purchase of licenses a longer pro
cess than would otherwise be the case
Mr.. Everett states. The department is
working on plans to further improve
the service for automobile owners.
Local state officials
Local municipal and State author
tiles insist that owners will not be
permitted to drive if they haven't
made applications for license by the
18th.

CHAIRMAN BROWN OF TOUR
THANKS NORTHWEST FOLK

By John M. Brown chairman of
Know Your State Tour no. 1 through
Northwestern Carolina in the Win
ston Salem journal.
wish it were possible for me to
see every citizen of the counties Wis
tied by our "Know Your State Tour"
and convey to. them personally the
sincere appreciation of Winston-Sa-
lem for the whole-hearted way in
which our tour was received.
At every stop and on every road
side we were extended greetings that
showed they came from the heart.
When we were privileged to stop they
shook our hands and fed us bounteous
ly. Where we could not stop we had
waved to us a hearty greeting and
fond farewell.
The reception accorded the tour
as unit did not surpass our recep-
ton as individuals. There was no hes
itancy on the part of any man wo-
man or child on the entire tour in
looking to the pleasure and comfort
Of the individuals of the tour. The
men were out with handshake and
welcome-the ladies and children
were serving us with food and drink
at every stop and the children, some
of them hardly waist high, were pull
ing us down and pinning flowers on
our coats to show us that they too,
were glad to see us.
The trriffic storm which caught our
party on the last lap of it's journey
brought very forcibly to the atten-
ton Of our committees in charge
just what the tour had meant to
the personnel of the tour. Drenched
garments, muddy roads and delays in
schedules could and did not affect
the high spirit Of enthusiasm which
at all times was SO much in evidence.
The links of friendship formed by
your reception and the pleasant mem
cries of our visit could not be washed
out. They are there to stay.
The committees whose faith in your
people prompted them to give the
necessary time and labor to make
this tour possible, and the citizenship
Of Winston-alem at large, hope and
believe that this is the first step in
the complete unification of north
west North Carolina-the greatest
country on Gods gr4 en eartil
