present inevitable ending. This lead
ership is not the kind that will enable
the anthracite miners to escape from
the iron grip of the anthracite mon
opoly.
A Policy Of Struggle Wanted
This anthracite monopoly, headed
by the world banker Morgan, can only
be successfully opposed by the type
of leadership that accepts a policy OF
class struggle rather than one Of class
collaboration. The class struggle type
of leadership has not come to the.
front in the anthracite region. There
are many reasons for this, some OF
which are: The sharp racial divisions
existing especially since 1902, the
overwhelming population is foreign
born; the tremendous influence of
the church upon both the native and
foreign population. And the object
i've economic conditions have not yet
become sharp enough to have had a
leavening effect upon the old fashion
ed ideas of property rights of the
native population.
Wages have in the past been Just
enough to foster the Illusion OF own
ing ones own home. In addition, the
many textile mills scattered all thru
the anthracite region, have provided
jobs for the miners daughters while
their sons worked in the coal break
ers.
All this is changing. The miners
are now rebelling against, not alone
their own miserable working condi-
tions, but against this system of child
labor exploitation. They are insisting
upon better education for their chill
dren than they themselves received.
With this change will also come that
other product of American capital
ism-the modern American militant
revolutionist ~
In the anthracite region the Work
ers Party and the T. U. e. l..
and their policies are the only
hope of the miners for the future.
Their analysis of both the objective
and subjective factors in the only one
that rings true to the existing situa-
ton. The call of the Communists
and left wingers in the anthracite
for militant policies and militant
leadership is the outstanding feature
of the present situation in the anthra-
cite region. M ts

Former patriots who could see nov connection
between landlords and agencies Of the capitalist
state power like the COURTS for instance are having
their eyes opened in New York
A federation of rentpayers' associations who
have been battling the landlords for some time have
been advised, thru the conviction and sentencing
of one of its officers to year in the penitentary,
that courts and judges are institutions and indi-
vduals functoning for the protection of landlords
and other thieves whose profession is legalized.
Captain Harry Allen Ely, president Of tenants
association, called certain Judge "numbskull"
in article in the official organ of the association
and the association of landlords took care to see
that the article brought to the attention Of this
ornament of the New York bench with the result
above set forth. The COURTS of course, are not i'm
mune to criticism we are told, but we notice that
most Of those who indulge in searching criticism
of the judiciary land in the hoosegow as did the
captain whose long record of service in war time
which he naiveIy reasoned would save him, failed
to keep him out of the Tombs-the first stop on the
way to Sing Sing.
1t is to be hoped that this experience will have
the effect of convincing the members of the tenants
association in spite of their mddeclass character
and leadership, that any fight against landlordism
and kindred evils is useless unless it recognizes
that all the legal appendages of capitalism, legis
latures, courts, judges, police and military, are
back of the landlords and the private property in
terests they personify.
The frenzied fear that even the mildest form of
protest against landlordism and its kept courts
arouses in the parasitic element is shown by the
severe sentence handed out to the worthy captain
who in all probability looks upon American CAPT
talist government as the supreme achievement of
the human race.
When the captain gets out of Jail he should take
walk to the New York headquarters of the
Workers COMMUNIST Party and find out the real
reason why he was incarcerated.

THE return to work of the 10000
anthracite strikers employed by
the Pennsylvania coal company, marks
new point in the struggle of the
rank and file of the miners union
against John L. Lewis, and his policy
Of class-collaboration rulership.
This two month old strike was
spontaneous affair, caused by the fail
ure of the regular union machinery to
secure redress for the many grew
ances Of the men. The bulk Of the
leaders of the strike we're men whose
idea of the struggle between labor
and capital is very similar to those
held by Lewis himself. The strike
could have no other ending but the
present one-a return to work with
the promise of the Lewis strike COM
mission, that the various grievances
Of the men would be taken up by the
Cancellation board.
Abolish Fake Cancellation
This is the same Cancellation board
developed out of the commission APP
pointed by Roosevelt to settle the 1902
strike. This cancellation board, con
sisting of three representatives of the
operators and three Of the miners and
an umpire paid by both sides, has
little power to settle anything. It's
chief function has been to create the
Illusion among some of the miners
that thru it they could get redress for
their grievances. But there is a grow
ing conviction amongst the rank and
file that the Cancellation board is but
one Of the cogs in the wheels of the
giant machine that is destroying their
hard won gains of other days. A de-
mand is arising for its abolition.
Had a militant leadership been at
head of this strike it would have taken
an entirely different turn. Such a
militant leadership would have rallied
the strikers in mass meetings; it
would have understood the power,
both economic and political of the
anthracite trust. To fight this power
it would have organized a general
strike of ALL the Companies" By
such methods the struggle would have
gained real concessions in less than
half the time consumed by the Penn
sylvania" strike.
BY it's lack of militancy and its tacit
acceptance of Lewis class-collabora-
ton policies, the leadership of. the
recent strike doomed the strike to its

Raisuli, the Spanish governments only conse-
quential friend in Morocco, has surrendered to
SPANS most redoubtabe enemy, Abdel-Krim,
who has inflicted defeat after defeat on the Spanish
forces His latest conquest renders the position of
Spain in Morocco untenable
The chieftain Raisuli was purchased by Spain
last October for large sum of money. He took to
the hills with his treasure and remained there ever
since, feigning illness. Krim, however, was more
than match for the forces of Dictator Primo de
Rivera.
The Spanish directorate allocated 100000
pesetas for the purpose Of "demoralizing and cor
rupting the enemy" This means bribing the native
chieftains. Thru his victory over Raisuli, Abdel-
Krim has access to whatever part of this million
is still untouched by the recipient SPANS treasure
turned out to be gift to her foes
The prospects for Spain retaining her precarious
hold much longer on Morocco is not bright But
as soon as Spain quits the other and more pow
erfu capitalist nations will step in. The continued
robbery and exploitation Of the people Of Morocco
and other undeveloped parts of the earth can only
be prevented by the working class.

The Austrian DebacIe

Austria the little country that has been used
a laboratory by the league of nations and whose
working class has been forced into the role of
guinea pigs by the imperialist experimenters, has
collapsed.
Even the injections Of gold serum and the cow
ardly submission of the social-democrats to Zim-
norman, the receiver appointed by the league, has
failed to do the impossible4re the damages of
war, rebuild industry and feed the population in
country stripped of its resources and partitioned
among the allied nations ~
The working class of Austria has gone thru hell
while the experiment was in progress and today
stands as a living-barely living example of the
hopelessness of working Glass that allows itself
to have faith in capitalism.
The Austrian breakdown creates another serious
problem for the imperialists and this problem cries
for solution at time when political crises hold the
stage in almost every important European nation
Three avenues of escape, all of them of tenn
porary nature are open to the allied powers. First
Austria can become part of Danube federation
that would strengthen the little nations and in all
probability upset French plans in that sector
Second Austria can become again a part of the
German nation with resultant strengthening of
the working class forces which neither the German
or allied capitalists view with anything but fear
Third Austria can become an italian protectorate
and thus arouse implacable enmity in the
Balkan states that might mean new war.
The Communists alone can look at the new situa-
ton created by the Austrian debacle with equani-
nifty, confident that it is additional proof that cap
italism cannot solve its postwar problems and that
with the growing strength of the Communist par
ties in all European nations, that continent steps
closer and closer to the path bazed by the revolu
tionary workers and peasants of Soviet Russia

Poincare Speaks Thru Herriot

The French chamber of deputies by vote of
541 to 80 approved the posting of Premier Herrots
reactionary speech in relation to Germany. The
socialists at first announced that they would vote
against the posting the ground that the speech
was too reactionary. Herriot threatened to resign
and the socialists promptly changed their minds.
The burden of Herriots speech was that Ger
many was not disarmed, that Frances allies and
associates had not kept faith and that France had
made all the concessions she could afford to Ger
many and in the future must consider the question
of her own security against German attack He
intimated that France would not withdraw her
troops from the Rhine unless satisfactory guaran-
tees we're Forthcoming.
Only the Communists and few other deputies
voted against Herriot Some of the socialists
outdid the nationalist in jingosm. The Poin-
careists declared that Herriot was a convert to
their side SO they voted unanimously to support
him.
The advent Of Herriot to Office was hailed by
pacifsts a victory for peace and liberalism But
as the Communists pointed out, even man with
the best Of intentions cannot bring about peace
under the capitalist system. 1t is impossible

The Miners Pay

Semistarvation is a chronic condition for some
10000 men, women and children in the mining
regions Of West virginia-one of the richest states
in the union.
For three years these miners have been locked
out by the coal companies and have suffered untold
hardships. Lately there has been renewed activity
on their behalf and food and clothing is being col
ected In this district the strkebreakers are work
ing for $3.50 to $4 per day while the union scale
is $3.50. The complete collapse of union organiza-
lions in this territory is in the fact that since
the desertion Of the miners by the oficialdom of
the United Mine Workers of America but 10 per
cent of the coal companies are paying the union
scale.
It is largely from the nonunion mines of West
Virginia that coal comes which displaces union
mined coal in other markets and it is this non
union territory that furnishes the ammunition with
which the coal operators association bombards
the United Mine Workers of America.
The commonsense policy would be to put the
whole strength of the union behind an organization
drive in this state, but the reactionary Lewis adj
ministration prefers to revoke charters in union
territory and disrupt the once splendidy organized
United Mine Workers of America. Prosecuting
and expelling Communists has replaced organiza
of the result of this policy.
1t is doubtful if the misery of the West Virginia
miners would have been brought to the attention of
the labor movement at this time at all if it not
for the fact that nonunion mines owned by the
Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers are located
in this district and the Lewis administration can
find plenty Of time to fight this gang of cockroach
capitalists with whom it has personal feud. Ac-
cording to reports the Brotherhood Mines managed
by Warren Stone, one of the original LaFollette
boosters has just evicted sc miners families in the
best steel trust style. Hence the new publicity
campaign of the Lewis administration Here is a
cross section of the American labor movement as
it is in the hands of the crooks cockroach capital
lists and politicians. One section of it owns mines
and uses the most infamous methods of the bigger
capitalists. Another section of it supports Cool
idge and the blacklist group of capitalists and tries
to discredit the smaller fry
Meanwhile the rank and file with whose lives
both groups play, exists in tents in the bitter win
ter weather and starves
This is of the conditions that makes for the
growth of the revolutionary left wing movement.
1t is a condition that will vanish only when both
sets of betrayers have been kicked out neck and
crop, and the American labor movement rallied to
the program of the Trade Union Educational
League.
