The Economic Situation.

The Economic Situation.
A FTER the second party session OF
\ the Communist Party Of Czecho-
Slovakia, the Czech bourgeoisie began
to engage in their new campaign
against the proletariat. It was not
the first time since 1920 that they en-.
deayored to provoke the workers OF
ostrow and particularly to defeat this
most important section of the Czecho-
SlovalEian proletariat, in order in this
way to prepare for the certain defeat
of the workers In all other branches
Of industry. In the autumn Of
1924, the Red Trade Union organ
izations in common with the leaders
of the Communist Party Of Czecho-
Slovakia succeeded in frustrating this
maneuver Of the bourgeoisie. Strongly
backed by the social democrats Of all
nations in this state. but especially by
the Czech government socialists, the
exploiters continued individually
their efforts in this direction.
AS a matter of fact, the conditions
Of living Of the Czecho-SIovakian
workers have changed very much for
the worse during the past two years.
The rise in price Of all foodstuffs. the
pressure OF taxes, the cutting down of
the staff Of officials and the UNDER
hand manner in which the unemploy-
ed were treated-all these measures
OF government and bourgeoisie, which
were against the interests of the
whole working population, were enuf
to drive the proletariat to despair.
When the slaves Of the mines in the
Ostrow district made their demands
It transpired that more than 30 per
cent Of the Ostrow miners were pre-
pared to take up the fight against the
mine magnates. All efforts at con-
Citation on the part of the social de-
mocrats and the reformist trade union
leaders. proved Intellectual. Social
democrats, Communists, Christian So
cialists, independents, in short the
whole OF the Ostrow slaves OF the
mines proved determined to oppose
In open fight the insolent presumption
OF the exploiters. Exploiters and So
cial democrats concentrated their ef-
forts on the one object: the isolation
OF the Ostrow struggle. AS a matter
OF fact the Ostrow miners were left
alone, and after few days OF heroic
lighting the strike had to be called of.
1t should be said at once, that the
viii to fight Of the ostrow proletariat
Is unbroken, that its connection with
the Q, p. Of Czecho-Slovalria Is firmer
than ever. and that even the success
Of the mine owners has nothing like
The significance that It had In previ-
GUS similar struggles.

spectively in the name of party NOR
ais. By welcoming this moral strue-
gle" OF our right, the bourgeoisie
showed that it was also interested In
the purity and integrity within the
c. P. Of Czecho-Slovakia, as indeed it
stood up for the maintenance and Sc
cdrity Of the G. P. of Czecho-Slovakia
with admirable fervor.
When the PoLBureau caught Bub-
NIX at his criminal work and turned
him ont Of the party, the bourgeois
press howeld at the injustice which
had been done to a man whose only
care had been the purity Of the C. P.
Of Czecho-SloVakia. The rage of the
bourgeoisie and of social democracy
over the quick and energetic action of
the POl-Bureau is much more conn
prehensive now that we have a clear
er survey OF the events than was the
case in February of this year. The
bourgeois parties dread the next cleo
ton especially because of the infiu-
ence of the c. P. OF Czecho-Slovakia.
They could therefore hardly contain
themselves for joy when they saw
Bubnik, Warmbrunn and their COM
panions "at work" in the C. p. OF
Czecho-Slovakia.
The Block Fights the Dangers Of
the Fright.
THE block formed in Moscow be-
= tween the left wing and the cen.
ter is justifying its existence. The
hopes of the bouregoisie and of the
right elements in the party that this
block could again be shaken, have
proved to be deceptive. II is now
quite amusing to watch the somer-
saults turned by the social democrat
and bourgeois editors. At the con-
clusion of the discussions of the e. c.
Q. l. they hoped that the Prague dis.
trict organization would rebel against
the PoiBureau, then they expected
the kladno group to prove particularly
incorporating and, above ali. thew |
were perfectly certain that Brunn |
would take up an attitude OF opposi. |
ZION to the c. c. and the C. I. And
now we are at the end OF the decisive
events within the party. Those who
had the audacity to make propaganda
for split in the party. who were bold
enough to organize within the c. p
Of Czecho-Slovakia a fight against the |
Communist International have been
laid low. That which zinoyiey and

more rapidly than could have been

The Problems of the Czech Communist

A S in previous years, the capitalists
"A of other branches of industry, es-
pecially the employers in the metal
and textile branches, are now anxious
to follow the example of their fellow
capitalists in Ostrow and to put theiJ
wage slaves on short commons.
From Bodenbach to Komotau, the
workers in a number of large and me-
dium-sized works Of the metal indus
try are locked out on account Of the
demands Of a comparatively small
group of metal workers. As for the
employers in the textile industry, 1t
is up to the present only evident that
they are making certain preparations
for severer blows against the work
ers. At the present moment tbs
coalition parties are at daggers drawn
about the customs on corn. There Is
however, no doubt that the family
quarrel in the coalition will sooner
or later come to an end thru a for

NEGRO STABBED
SATURDAY, DIES
F. M. Carson, Negro, is Charged
With Murder of Lucius
Worlds

Lucius Worlds, negro fireman at
the Windsor hotel, who was stabbed
one week ago by F. M. Carson, me-
gro, died early this morning at the
colored hospital. Worlds was cut
in the side, the butcher knife pene-
trating through to his lung.
AS result of Worlds death Car
son, who has oeen confined in the
county Jail on a warrant charging
him with assault with intent to muir

and Mamie Westbrook, negro wom-
an, was taken into custody this
morning by sheriff Macarthur,
charged with being an accessory be-
fore the fact. It is alleged that the
woman furnished the knife with
which Worlds was killed.
SO deep and large was the incis-
ion made by the butcher knife that
it was possible to see Worlds heart,
according to attending physicians,
and it was only because of the
blacks strong constitution that he
lived as long as he did.

WASHINGTON, July 25.- The
inauguration of the new prohibition
plan has not only been postponed
hut several important changes have
been made in the proposed redis-
tricting of the country for enforce
ment purposes.
Evidence that the reorganization
had been side tracked temporarily
was furnished today by letter sent

the treasury notifying all field Off
GERS of the prohibition unit that the
present appointment of unclassified

mated not later than October Is.
The present office holders will loose
their jobs unless they are reappoint-

The boundaries of the new dis
tricts as originally announced have
been the subject of considerable
criticism from various quarters, but
Andrews insisted today that the
changes decided on were dictated
solely by the desire TO refficiency
and had nothing to do with politics.

When an automobile stands for
hours, constantly dripping gasoline,
the constant drip works a hole in
the paving and in years that will
affect the paving. Our people are
as proud of the paving as you and
I, so lets use every caution to pre-
serve it.
