pose of extending the electrical basis
Of industry on a mass scale exceeds
the powers OF international capital.
Very interesting results were furnish
ed in this respect by the London cleo
tricity congress which took place last
year. The results of this congress
show that New York alone consumes
more electric current than the whole
Of England. The richest country Of
Europe, Old England, cannot afford
to transfer to electricity, altho the
most far-seeing bourgeois politicians
perceive this to be the only way out
Of the deep crisis under which the
country is laboring. The published
report of the commission of the liber-
al party, with a preface by Lloyd
George: Current and Coal" states
what enormous expenditure is neces-
sary in order to electrify England,
L Another reason why the countries
of old capitalism encounter such great
difficulties in transferring to electri-
city is the following: they have in
vested an enormous amount of capital
in industry driven by steam power
and they cannot therefore transfer
to electricity before amortizing the
plans and equipment ct this country
without great losses.
I'VE therefore maintain that the de-
velopment of electricity can only pro-
coed in the first place in the young
capitalist countries, and in those coun-
tries where the rule OF capitals al

war morass. Capitalism means ex-
change OF commodities and its stabil-
ization depends upon the question of
markets and comes up against the fact
of the shrinkage of the markets. Capt.
talism knows of two ways whereby it
can etxend the market:
The first way consists in the cheap
ening of production. II goods are sold
at lower price they find a wider
circle of purchasers within the limits
of the existing national wealth, Of the
existing national income.
The second way is the capturing of
new markets.
Reduction of prices requires either
a change in the organization of indus
try and commerce, or a new technical
equipment of economy on a mass
scale.
Does capitalism possess such tech
nical possibilities, the use of which
would enable goods to be cheapened?
Yes, these possibilities consist in the
employment of electricity, in the
transition from steam power to cleo
trical power.
DOR capitalism, however, this is at
= present a purely theoretical pos
sibility. The hindrances in the way
of its practical realization are: first,
the accumulation of capital is only
taking place to any considerable ex-
tent in America. Europe is poorer
than before the war, and the invest
ment of big capital sums for the pur-

ready belnogs to certain extent to
history-we speak nsr9 of Russia.
Our advantage consists in the fact
that we are creating many new things
and can create them with the help of
electricity The steam basis Of Russ
ian industry is not very great and its
basic capital has been consumed to
very great extent
OF the capitalist countries America
is the first that is capable of develop
ing its industry in this direction.
Let us mention characteristic
trifie: Before the war 1t had been cal
culated how much money Italy would
require in order to go over to cleo
tricity and to free itself from the
heavy tribute which it had to yield
to other countries for coal This sum
amounted to half of the annual ex-
penditure of this country for the war.
Bourgeois Italy could not bring itself
to expend this money for the reorgan-
izing of industry, it could, however,
venture to squander far larger sums
for war purposes. AS a result it is
now no longer in a position to go over
to electrifcation. 94o
For the capitalist countries. there
fore, the way to the cheapening Of
goods is scarcely possible all the more
so as the policy of the trusts leads to
higher prices.

the Jacksonville agreement that ma
tional strike would DE called. The
Communists realize what this would
do for the union but know also, that
it will never materialize with Lewis
heading the union.
The scale committee, jokers picked
from stacked deck by the way, re-
ported a 10 per cent increase for con-
tract miners and s1.OO in crease for
company labor, including the check
of, tonnage, etc., would be demanded
by the miners. The Communists
fought militantIy for higher demands

but the machine was too well oiled
and the fight was lost. 1t was pointed
out by the Communist delegates that
the anthracite operators made mil
lions of dollars in profits in the last
few years and that the demands as
formulated by the scale committee. re-
garding increase in wages, was not
equitable and sufficient compensation
for the work performed. Combating
the press propaganda that the opera
tors were running the mines at a
deficit it was pointed out that the

power in industry, one perceives that
capitalism emerged from the war with
an extended basis of production.
In the postwar years only a portion
Of this industry was employed-in
many countries below so per cent of
its capacity. The chief causes for
this were The collapse of the none
tary system and the lack of credit.
After the war, capital only accumulat-
ed in America. America, however,
cut itself off from European affairs.
Now, when the international credit
system, the international monetary
system is being restored again, a re-
vival in industry is commencing; all
its earlier accumulated forces are be-
ing set in motion and are working in
the direction of the sterilization of
capitalism.

The Anthracite Coal Miners Convention

TNHE much talked of tri-district min
ers' convention is now matter
Of history and the anthracite miners
are now wondering what comes next.
1t was at this convention that a
new wage scale would be drafted, that
is. uniform set of demands of the
miners to be presented to the anthra-
cite operators at the expiration of the
existing agreement. 1t was at this
convention that the hand picked scale
committee would be given to under
stand just exactly what the rank and
file wanted. But to those not acquaint-
ed with the usual procedure of min
ers@ conventions, let it be understood
at the beginning that it did not differ
in the least from any other miners
convention, that is, that the delegates
did not transact the business but the
fiat bys" on the platform did that
little thing.
THERE appeared at the convention
4 small but well organized opposi-
ton to the takers. On practically
every question Of an important char
acter it was this group that led the
offensive. That this group was recog-
nized as force to be reckoned with
was demonstrated on several occas-
ions. 1t was this group that Lewis
was forced to deal with thruout the
convention, as definite opposing
group, opposed to the collaborative
tactics of Lewis-Cappellini Co.
Many progressive measures were
placed before the convention and
fought for by the Communist dele
gates and their sympathizers. On the
resolution demanding the release OF
all class war prisoners none spoke
but the Communist delegates. The
convention decided not to assist the
causes of these prisoners in a financial
way but decided to give them their
moral support"
A resolution favoring the labor par
ty wasNintroduced By the Communists
The resolution committee attempted
70 evade the issue by submitting a re-
port, recommending the resolution be
referred to the international conven
ton, but this move of the "fat bys'
was blocked. After much debate the
committee was instructed to recon
slider the resolution and submit an
other report, which was done, the re
port recommending concurrence.

running into the millions of dollars, in
the last few years. The insistance
which the Communists demanded 20
per cent for contract miners and 81
for company labor reused the ire of
His Lowness, who was the chairman,
who demanded of the Communists
that they were not "ham-stringing"
the officials.
THE scale committee, jointly with
L the district officials of Districts
1, Z, 8, including the International Of
ficials will soon go to Atlantic City to
meet the operators. Lewis will de-
mand the establishment, of the check
of and will make this the paramount
demand, not because the checkoff will
be a powerful thing for the union, but
insuring Lewis and Co. tax on all the
membership, some locals at present
not paying tax for their full member
ship. Even if granted, the 10 per
cent and 81 per day wage demand
which is a remote possibility, it will
not mean very much to the anthracite
mine workers, who are very poorly
paid at the present time, considering
the wage scale of other organized ter
ritories. The scale committee forgot
entirely the plight of the thousands
Of ill-paid boys shaving in the mines
for a miserable wage. they did not
demand the equalization Of wages for
these boys who perform work, mems
work, that is fundamentally necessary
in the production Of coal, the scale
committee, bowling to His Lowness,
forgot many things.
Measures introduced by the Com
munists and adopted by the conven-
ton were the following: Child Labor,
Labor Party, Glass War Prisoners,
coal to be paid for on tonnage basis
and that the existing system of paying
on car basis be done away with,
time and a half for all overtime and
double for Sundays and holidays, and
several other Of minor nature.
