THIS does not on any account mean
l that the supporters of proletarian
literature are against any contact
with the fellow Travellers" and
against making use of them generally
On the contrary, they asserted that
there must be collaboration between
proletarian writer's and truly revolu-
tionary representatives of these Eel
low travellers" that the latter must
be approached and educated in order
to make them gradua=iy adopt the
viewpoint of the working class. But
to accomplish this task one must
have the support of proletarian liter
ature.
THE conference listened attentively
1 to the representatives OF both
these viewpoints. The literary Trot-
skyites did not secure u single vote.
The fact must not be overlooked that
one of the most gifted of the fellow
travellers" Vladimir Mayakovsky,
fully endorsed the viewpoint OF the
proletarian literature and expressed
himself emphatically against literary
Trotskyism.
If already in May the 18th Congress
Of the Russian Communist Party fav-
ored the proletarian literature orien-
tation, there is no doubt whatever
that the conference which has shown
the strength and unity of proletarian
literature will contribute considerably
to the realization of this decision of
the party congress.
N T the conference proletarian lit
IA erature was reviewed. 1t showed
that this literature is already past the
stage Of infancy, it is past the period
when the voice breaks, it has left be-
hind it the period of vacillation, un-
steadiness and disunity. In serried
ranks it enters the next stage of in
creased creative production. The
tasks are difficult, but our strength is
unlimited. -

ProIetarian Literature in Soviet Russia

too was satisfactorily and unanimous
ly solved at the conference. Repub-
lican associations of proletarian writ
ers are to be formed in all the nation
al republics. In these associations
native proletarian writer's are of
course to play the most important
role. These republican associations
form part Of the All-Russian Associa-
ton.
n PART from the questions of Great
n i've work and organization the
conference gave very serious consid-
Grafton to the question of the liter
airy policy of the Russian Communist
Party. During the last two years,
proletarian literature had a hard fight
in connection with this question with
the section of the party headed by L.
D. Trotsky. This peculiar literary
Trotskyism," declared that the runda-
mental literary force in the Soviet
Union are not by any means prole-
tartan writer's, but so-called fellow
Travellers" that is to say, hazy, petty
bourgeois writer's more or less in SYM
pathy with the Soviet power.
A CCORDING to Trotsky there is not
a and cannot be any proletarian
literature, as the proletariat has now
something else to do besides thinking
about literature. And by the time the
proletariat is set free for such activ-
ity it will have merged into a Com
munist society which KNOWS no class.

AZURE told the Trotskyites that the
non-existence of proletarian literature
is impossible, as the working class
stands in need now of this DOW
erful weapon for the purpose Of re-
acting on the psychology of the
masses. They also pointed out that
proletarian literature must NOT only
be, but is already in existence
and that Trotsky and his followers
must be deliberately blind not to see it.

Is the reason there is SO much of
this coal left.
One interesting development of the
tour Of this field yesterday was the
fact that some operators are begin
ming to sift out their "culm piles. ="
The "culm pile" Is really the refuse.
After as much coal as possible has
been sorted out of what the miners
send from the mines, the slate. rock
dirt and what little coal remains is
dumped in a great heap. In the
course Of years these piles tower
more ! NJ hundred feet.
Although there ts, of course, con-
siderable coal left in these dumps.
the consumer who buys that type of
coal is quite likely to take along con-
siderable slate and rock. The COM
pany cannot possibly eliminate all
of the refuse, and ordinarily the culm
piles are permitted to accumulate
until there Is a shortage. Now that
the shortage Is most acute. the hun
dreds of dumps that are piled high
around Scranton are offering a pos
sible source of some coal and, Of
course. an opportunity for the min
ing companies to convert them into
cash.
One of these piles was being
"washe ed out" at a nearby mine to-
day. The superintendent in charge
of the work said it had been lying
against its present hillside for close
to so years, and he expected to con-
vert about so per cent of it into coal
Experts declared, however. that the
older piles are really more valuable
than the more recently accumulated
ones. because in the old days much
coal was cast aside that now is mar.
keted regularly.
Pea coal, 1t was pointed out. was
scarcely worth shipping back in the
days when 1t brought only SO A ton
retail. AS a result, II was consigned
to the culm pile. Now that it Is sal
able at almost any price the lucky
owner may ask. 1t is being assiduously
sought from among the slate and
rocks that have been it's companions
these long years. Some chestnut, too,
is salvaged from the culm pile,
All Of the workers who would ordi-
narily do this work for the mining
companies are striking. Hence the
mining companies are not permitted
to touch the dumps. One company
endeavored to work its culm piles up
the valley recently and a near riot en-
sued among the miners. The unions
are not objecting. however. to the
companies selling these piles to indi.
vidua concerns with the understand
ing that the refuse will be removed
from the mining property in bulk and
be sorted elsewhere.
