Q.-Just where do the anthracite
miners live and work?
A.-The production of anthracite
coal in the United States, now tied ur
by the miners strike, is limited al
most entirely to nine counties, located
in east central Pennsylvania, of ap-
proximately 5000 square miles, OF
which area only one-sixth is under
laid with coal of sufficient quantity to
make it profitable to mine.
Q.-What is the average wage of
factory workers?
A.-According to United States
government figures, the average
weekly wage Of factory workers this
year has been $27. The average last
year was $26.27 per week, and for
1928 it was $2625 per week.
Q.-Does organized labor favor
having union men and women on
boards of education?
A.-Yes. The 1923 convention of
the American Federation of Labor de-
clared: "The A. F. Of L. desires that
representatives Of labor in the various
communities regard it as part Of their
public duty to serve on the local
boards of education, or on the boards
of trustees of municipal and state
universities supported by public
funds. These institutions were Great
ed to serve all the people and MEM
bership on such boards would insure
the fulfillment of this original inten-
tion. Furthermore, such action is in
entire and complete accord with the
long and continuous interest of Amer
lean labor in the cause Of free public
education"

Marty later on turned QUITO be one Of
the best workers in the ranks of the
international Red Aid BY its unceas-
ing propaganda (not only oral, but in
deeds) of the idea of international
solidarity of all members of the pro-
letarian family, the International Red

Russian workers and peasants to
those who "had been more faithful to
us than to their own governments"
and who had helped us in leading our
October victory to successful end

But the work of October did not
stop by merely throwing the revolu-

for the support of the millions Of

have been successful. The greatest

the work of October, when it unites

half an acre of land, etc, ETC., with
the world proletariat, by joining them
under the common International Red

that October facilitated the entry Of

to the world October. The struggle
between the workers and capitalists
not only is not dying down, but is in
creasing in ferocity; the number of
it's victims is daily increasing and
becoming more and more complicated,
and the International Red Aid cannot
complain of having little to do, or that
there are no more victims left on the
field of battle, towards whom it should
hasten to aid.
!. r. A. Born in October.
The International Red Aid was be-
gotten by the Russian Red October,
which not only was brilliant episode,
but served as a banner of the prole-
tariat in it's struggle for the emancipa-
ton of humanity from the bondage
of capitalism. The International Red
Aid has defined Itself as an organiza-
ton, which has consecrated itself to
help that very struggle by special
means.
Even before October Ilyitch more
than once dreamt Of the Paris Com
mune as an example to be used for
the storming of the lstrongholds of
capital, for the Russian revolution.
And afterwards, he used to point out
with much pleasure the similarities
between the "madly brave" Partisan
communards and the October revolu-
tionists in our country finding many
points in common between these two
stages of the world proletarian strug-
gle.
"Storminu the Heavens"
One involuntarily says to ones self
that the international Red Aid, one of
the direct heirs of October, has not in
vain chosen for it's name day" the
anniversary Of March IS, 1871, so
warmly loved by Ilyitch. Where the
smoke of gun powder still hovers over
the air; where the next problem is
that of "storming the heavens" Ian
expression used by Karl Marx in con-
nection with the Partisan commun-
ards) there, for the International Red
Aid we have an ever increasing field
of activities, for the International Red

thousands of units pass thru this
.school-millions are still at a great
distance from it. And yet, sooner or
later, these tens of millions will have
to go thru both such a theoretical and
practical communistic course of social
construction, which is only being at
present undertaken by the most ad
vanced members of the toiling masses.
Preliminary Preparation.
1t is evident that the preliminary
preparation of these masses, who are
at present standing aloof from the
Russian Communist Party is in
dispensible. The International Red
Aid is just the organization to carry
on best this preliminary preparation.
In truth, it is most successfully carry
ing out it's task as a preparatory
Glass; for the many millions. The
most backward and politically litter
ate peasant has all the opportunities
for learning and understanding the
ABC of Communism, passing thru
all stages of International Red Aid
teaching and its popular explanation
Of all social problems, linked with the
existence of the International Red
Aid work of aiding those warriors for
the cause of the world revolution.
!. r. A. Mission.
Many more examples might have
been given, showing the relationship
between the October "storming of the
heavens" and the historical task of
the International Red Aid. But the
above is quite sufficient to place the
International Red Aid as a revolution
airy child of October The Interna-
tional Red Aid, with many other
helpers of the grand October revolu-
ton, continues the great work Of
October and will carry on its mission
to the very end up to the moment,
when October, having successfully
covered all corners and parts of the
world, will cause all weapons of the
fierce class war to be laid aside as Of
no more use. For in Communist So
ciety there will be neither class war,
nor enemy classes.

Aid is the red cross service in the
ranks of the proletarian revolutionary
army.
The International Red Aid is organ
izing the red rear guard for the world
revolution. This very fact binds the
International Red Aid stilRmore closer
to the advance guard of the prole-
tartan revolution. October was the
first great battle between the prole-
tariat and the plundering capitalists,
and has been followed by a long
period Of trench warfare" with but
rare intervals of open fighting of one
or another detachment of the great
army of labor" For all this, this is
a real war, and like every war, its
success demands a we'll organized
rear. The International Red Aid has
taken this very task upon its Shout
ders--that of organizing the red rear
guard
Need World Support.
No one has yet forgotten the fact
that the Russian proletariat, who rose
against their bourgeoisie, owes its
victorious revolution to the interna-
tional solidarity of the world prole-
tariat. 1t would have been foolish to
dream even of cur October without
this hope of support and solidarity
from the world proletariat The Rus
sian workers did not err. sIlyitch more
than once emphasized the fact that
I'VE are victorious, not because we
were stronger, but because the toilers
of the entente countries turned out
to be more faithful to us than to their
own governments" (From his speech
at the non-party conference of the
Borough of Krasny-Presny, January

Soviet conquers.
On this anniversary, there will be
not single corner in all the Union
of Socialist Soviet Republics where
red flags will not be waving. You will
not find a single worker or peasant,
with the faintest trace of class con-
seriousness, who will not be rejoicing
over the fact that eight years have
gone by since that experiment of
"overthrowing" capitalistic foundation
was successfully made on territory
occupying one-sixth of the worlds sur
face. The capitalists have been pow
erless to destroy that country which
first blazed the trail towards social
list construction, and which has not
only been able to prove it's ability to
exist, but also is progressing with
gigantic strides towards the red star
of Communism.
The proletariat Of capitalist coun-
tries, who are still bound hand and
foot, fix their eyes, burning with joy
full hope, on that pole star. 1t is true,
the cities in these countries are not
decorated with red flags. But all the
same, even in these days, the red
blood of the workers flowing behind
prison walls will be the brightest wit
