1 credit the great fighting spirit
of the Pirates for our defeat in
this series. Though we had won
three out of the. first four, they
never stopped. They kept right
after us, tied the series and then,
after spotting us four runs In the
first inning yesterday, battled us
tooth and nail and finally won out
In the eighth with three runs,
coming from behind even in that
inning.
Only a fighting team can do
anything like that. The Pirates
certainly proved themselves q
great fighting team.
The weather conditions were
wretched. Really, they were too bad
for baseball. A regular game during
the season probably would have been
halted shortly after the fifth inning.
The rain was coming down so hard
by that time. However, that would
have been impossible for the world
series, so we fought on in the mud

AbramoUich, Here's Your Hat!

Raphael Abramovich Russian czarist socialis
and counter-revolutionist arrived in the United
States recently probably to fill the vacancy created
in the forces fighting Soviet recognition, by the
death of Samuel Gompers Abramovich is only one
of liberal supply of Russian parasites who have
recently been competing with bootleg liquor in
getting on the inside of the statute of liberty.
This fellow Abramovch is one Of the criminals
responsible for the recent uprising in the Soviet
Republic of Georgia. 1t took the Red Army only a
few hours to crush it because it was the work of
collection of bandits paid by the French and
British governments thru this dog Abramovich and
others from the yellow socialist kennel Abramo-
vich and his cOconspirators against the workers
and peasants government wanted to turn over
the vast oil resources of Georgia to the French and
British imperialists.
His coming to the United States comedies with
renewal of the agitation for the recognition of
Soviet Russia. No doubt the capitalist and yellow
socialist press will publish his vomit in generous
portions He is welcome to the space.
1t does not appear, however, that the workers
are so very pleased with Abramovch's presence, if
we are to judge from the reception given to him at
a meeting called by the socialist party in his honor
in the Star Casino, New York. No sooner had a
bureaucrat of the Workmen's Circle indicated that
he was going to introduce Abramovich than the
audience cheered for Soviet Russia BY the time
Abramovich got thru, he wished he was back in
his favorite haunts in Paris Four hundred police
and goodly number OF sluggers failed to preserve
"order' and Abramovich left by a side door. Where
can poor white guard yellow socialist go nova
days without running into a lot of Bolsheviks ?
We suggest that he try hell
Perhaps Abramovich will pay us a visit here
in Chicago!

The JobleSS Miners

Tales of prosperity sent out by the rotund Sec
rotary of Commerce Herbert Hoover, make pleasant
reading for the SNUG and comfortable elements
who feel that they living in the best of all pos
sible worlds. But while the workers in some in
dustries kept busy creating surplus values for
the master class there are other industries shut
down by the bosses because they cannot see their
way clear to operate them when the prospects for
profits are not sufficiently alluring
The miners in southern Illinois report extremely
bad conditions in some mining sections. Several
mines have been shut down for over year and
the coal diggers reduced to desperate straits,
there being other industry except coal mining
in those parts of the state.
Last Sunday a conference of miners was held in
Belleville to consider unemployment. There were
delegates present from eighteen locals. Delegates
from one local reported that their officers tried to
enforce the clause in the district contract providing
for the sharing of work between the miners unem-
ployed and those working. The bosses attempted
to take advantage of this situation to interpret
the clause to their advantage. The miners refused
to sign "yelIow dog contract submitted by the
bosses and Harrington as usual took the side of the
coal operators when the local appealed TO him for
aid.
The Belleville conference decided to organize the
unemployed in the entire sub-district and to link
its efforts with those of other conferences organ

officials of District II of the U. M. w. of A. are

Japan Recognizes Soviet

Ono more world capitalist power has thrown IN
the sponge after refusing for years to recog
nize the Soviet government. The latest nation to
Gign treaty of peace and recognition with the
workers and peasants government of Russia is
Japan, the most formidable military and naval
power in the Orient The United States, alone of
all the great capitalist powers now stands out
side the circle of those who have decided that they
can no longer ignore government that governs
onesixth of the earths surface and whose stability
is not now even subject for discussion.
News of the signing of the treaty appeared in the
American press on the first anniversary. of the
death of Lenin. 1t is happy coincidence that the
day on which the working masses thruout the world
honor the memory of history's greatest revolu-
ZIONIST, should bring new evidence of the per-
manency and power of the proletarian government
which Lenins genius guided thru it's critical days.
The power that humbled the cars government in
the dust when it forced the Portsmouth treaty on
a defeated bourgeoisie, today bows before the
mighty power of the workers and peasants who in
the year 1905 were crushed under the iron heel of
the cars tyranny. The Red Army of 1925 is not
the cars army of 1905.
One by one the bourgeois powers that would fain
join hands to crush the living embodiment of prOe-
tartan rule, compelled to face facts. They know
that by recognizing Soviet Russia, they are in
creasng the prestige of the workers. republic and
giving the Soviet government involuntary aid in
reconstructing its economy along Communist lines.
But if they do not recognize Russia equally I'M
desirable fate will befall them Like the proverbial
sinner, they'll be damned if they do and they'll be
damned if they don't.
Japan knows that she will have to fight the
United States one of those days. She needs oil.
The treaty gives her valuable oil concessions on
Saghalien island This will not look any too good
to the United States, but Secretary of State
Hughes holds that Soviet Russia is a myth and
simply does not exist Japan does not think so and
gets the oil. The treaty will not pour oil on the
troubled political waters in which Hughes is sail
ing tho he is now headed for the dark ocean of po-
itical oblivion.
There are many reasons why the United States
is liable to follow in the footsteps of Japan and
recognize Russia. Not the least are the diplomatic
reasons which are closely related to gunpowder.
1t would not be surprising to hear pithy comment
on the japanese Russian pact on the floor of the
senate in the near future.
Lenin is dead but the Soviet power grows, and
the red banner of international Communism which
now flies over Soviet embassies, set like GASES in
the deserts of capitalism, will soon wave over the
capitols of the world, when capitalism has been
given its death blow by the revolutionary workers
under the leadership of the organization that Lenin
founded, the Communist International.

BY ISRAEL AMTER.

THE whole country knew that Lenin
was MORALLY ILL., 1t knew that he
was away from his desk, from con
tact with the active workers of the
Soviet government and of the Russian
Communist Party. 1t knew that his
hand no longer guided the Communist
International But there was hope
he might recover and return to the
work from which he had ben so rudely
torn away.
But the fell blow came-and Lenin
was stricken low. The friend and
comrade of the peasants, the man
whom they loved tho they had never
seen him-the man who exemplified
everything that the revolution had
brot forth and meant-was gone. Chill
, dren knew his name. They knew his
picture. The stories of their fathers
and brothers told them of the great
ness of the man. In their magma
tive minds, still filed with the ideas
of the giants and supernatural heroes
of the fairy tales, many OF them re-
garded him as some being not of this
earth.
But the peasants knew him-althc
he was only a name. They knew
what he had done for the poor peas.
ants. How he had given them the
laud and furnish them the full sup.
port of the Soviet government, that
at last they, the poorest of the pooi
peasants, might begin to live. They
knew life under the czars, under the
savage nobility and landowners. They
knew the cossacks and the denial OF
the most ordinary demands. The
