Lillian and Madge Pass a Hectia
 Night.
 I put through the eall tS the Southampton hospital, and when Katherine had been summoned te the telephone. quickly transferred the mouthpiece sTt receiver to Lil- Han. ~@-, , "'Lo Katherlne!A was Lillian's characteristic greeting. "Madga says she ahinks you leave your present case tomorrow. Is that right? Good!

 "I1l Tell Her."

 Good old Katherine" Lillian commented absently. I knew that having received the assurance of the little nurse. who was so dear to both Of us, she had dismissed all worry over that angle of her prob lem from her mind.
 She was unusually silent the rest or the evening, replying to Marion's chatter with an abstrac.ed air which told me that her concern over the condition of the waif in Inc adjoining room was not dimin- lshing with the passing minutes. Prudently kept silent, at first busy Ing myself with a magazine, and later turing Marion to the study of , crossword puzzle, leaving Lillian 10 as much freedom as I could man age.

Sweets are not absolutely essen- tial to health. Mrs. Mann of Any town learned in her study of foods.
 In addition to laying the founda- tion for numerous ills, one of which is overweight, sweets destroy the appetite for the essentials.
 There are certain foods all healthy adults and children should have every day.
 Milk is one of these. A pint of milk a day is about the proper amount for a normal person. Other

And so. the Raggedys easily escaped from Miggsy that time and they finished their other pies beside a pretty little ripping giggly brook which made them soon forget they had had an unpleasant adventure with such a mean person as Miggsy, the Magic Maker.

there to whom the DAILY WORKER
was no romantic toy but the most SER
ious weapon for the building of the
party and the destruction of capital.
ism. Ars
NOV, the DAILY WORKER will be
~ nothing and can do nothing I'M
less it becomes an organ of the work
ing class mass. If the party needs a
bulletin for party members it can find
a less expensive method than that of
a daily paper. Yet the DAILY WORK
Err cannot become a mass organ sim
ply by fighting for the interests of the
masses any more than the party can
become a mass party simply by reason
of its program in the interests of the
whole working class.
NOR can the DAILY WORKER be-
4 come mass organ by means of the
efforts, no matter how energetic and
conscientious, of a few DAILY
WORKER patriots. On the day
when the party as whole, the party
acting as a mass decides to put its
mass strength and its mass energy
into the building of the DAILY
WORKER, on that day the DAILY
WORKER will take it's first step on
the road to becoming an organ of the
masses.
XAIHY is this mass action" necess-
wv airy? Why is it impossible for
1000 comrades by putting forth 20
times the ordinary amount of energy,
to accomplish as much as $4,000 party
members, each giving part OF their
time and energy to the building Of
the DAILY WORKER? 1t is not
necessary for one to be professor
OF psychology to find the answer to
these questions. Anyone who has par
ticipated in any activity that brings
one into contact with people in any
number knows the answer. He
knows the multiplied effect that mass
activity has upon those who are par
ticipating and also upon those who
are the objects Of the activity.

seek out those Bill Smiths with whom
he does not come into contact in his

are told the lanterns cleaned that gave the
signal for arousing .'eyery Middlesex village and
farm" in advance of the British, got the following
off his chest om
''The greatest question before the American
people today is 'What,is our character@ For it is
this, and this alone that counts in the long run"
The gents who chronicle the happenings of the
anniversary for the capitalist press become almost
lyrical as they describe how the hero of the LOrmer
bank scandal made plea for sharper self-denial
in the nations life" 'for cleanliness of mind"
''for subordination of the individual to the gener-
al good"
The Back Bay aristocracy and the textile barons
who heard the speech of Dawes were doubtless
greatly moved. So was Senator William Morgan
Butler, dauntless champion of the right of the
millowners to enslave little children
Eyes were wet as Dawes pointed out the
lesson of freedom taught by the ride Of Paul
Revere, but the freedom to which they gave homage
was freedom to rob the working class of America
without interference from division of profits
with the exploiters of any other nation.
Dispatches say that Dawes, invading the Cool
dge territory on this anniversary, was successful
in lining up the 'solid men" of New England be-
hind him. We do not doubt this. Anyone who can
combine sanctimOnious utterance with complete
contempt for the masses, who can justify ruthless
exploitation by biblical precept, whose American
ism is that of the rotary clubs, who breaches
violent suppression of the workers in the name of
the revolutionary founders, can get the ear and
approval of the descendants of the rum, molasses
and niggers" aristocracy of New England.
Puritansm has never been an obstacle to profits
so Paul Reveres ride becomes excuse for a
Dawes to defy plunderers and cover slavery with
a mantle of christian ethics.

form as many unity organs, unity
committees and mixed committees as
possible; we must form a coalition
with the left Amsterdam wing in the
struggle for unity; we must strength
en- and support the Anglo-Russian
unity alliance, and consolidate the
trade union movement in the colon
les and our own organizations.
Between two revolutionary waves,
the struggle for unity is a struggle for
the majority of the workers, strug-

the announcement that the general
strike in Ostrau was declared against
the will and in spite of the prohibition
of the reformist trade union bureau
cracy.
HAKEN (Czecho-Slovakia) reads
the resolution of the Czecho-Slovak-
ian delegation, which supports the
ostrau strike unanimously.
THE chairman, Comrade Dorsey,
L brings up the motion of the pre-
sidium to the effect that the plenum
declare it's solidarity with the strik-
ers; the motion is passed unanirfl-
ously.
GALLAGHER England; The sit
uation in England is favorable to the
movement. The urge of the working
class to unite the scattered trade I'M
ions, and to an alliance with the So
Wet trade unions is growing ever
stronger. The greatest obstacle is the
attitude of the trade union bureau
cracy.
Between the December, 1924, con-
ference and the January, 1925, confer
ence, the minority movement has
made great progress. The slogans of
the minority movement for the CEN
tralization of the trade unions, for
joint demands of the various trade
unions, and for individual membership
found great response among the
masses. At the head of the movement
are the miners.
The labor government had wor-
sened the condition of the workers.
and this strengthened the left ten
dency even in the general council of

trades councils decided in favor of
unity. s

leaders is in favor of unity with i'm

To neutralize- the influence of the

no we consider often enuf, in our
- striving to build the Workers
Party into a mass party, how seldomly
the party itself as it is now function
ing conforms to the most elemental
requirements for creating a mass
party? A mass Communist Party is
not merely an organization of a great
number of workers paying dues and
accepting Communist beliefs. A mass
Communist Party among other char
acteristics, perhaps most important of
any of them, is party that acts as
mass-aIl at one time, upon the direc-
tons Of its leaders.
TN still greater degree, a Communist
\ Party which has yet to become a
mass party must meet this require
ment. The Workers Party is one of
these; its most pressing, immediate
task is to build itself into a mass
party. 1t has not taken the first steps
toward this goal until it can itself act
in the mass, until it can respond as q
mass to the directions of its leader
ship.
ITO be sure, our party has not by any
i means given any evidence Of its
inability to meet this requirement. In
Vulnerable times, in big campaigns
UGH as famine relief, labor defense
n various political and industrial ac-
ivities, the party has shown how IL
can act. But much too often, particu-
llrly in the everyday work and for the
veryday tasks of the party we be.

The Class War in West Virginia

Coal miners, members of the United Mine Work
ers of America, and many nonmembers Of the
Union, are strike in the Panhandle district of
West Virginia to force recognition of the organ
ization
The Richland Coal company, one Of the biggest
concerns affected by the strike, is preparing to
evict the miners from company houses. The miners
are given notice and the company is carrying
out the evictions under court decision that for
feits the right of the miners to the houses the
moment they stop work for the company
The close cooperation of the courts with the
capitalists has been commented in these col
umns more than once, but in no section of the
United States is this recognition by the courts of
the mastery of the capitalist more brazen than in
West Virginia. The rule of capitalism that a
worker is entitled to food and shelter only when
he has submitted to boss, is carried out to the
letter in this paradise of the steel trust.
Reports from Wheeling are to the effect that a
number of miners have already been arrested for
violation of injunctions and trespassng, the legal
fiction by which miners are prosecuted for picket
ing.
On May 3, in Wheeling, the contrast between the
lives of the workers who dig the coal and those
who live their labor will be shown in a remark
able manner. A memorial meeting for the 12S
miners killed in the Benwood disaster will be held
and blanket Injunction legalization of evictiOns
or prevention of picketing prevent thousands
of miners understanding that under capitalism
they live, work and die for the enrichment of a
brutal, idle class.
At this memorial meeting any attempt by of
icialdom to gloss over the class struggle will be
treason of the blacklist kind.
The miners fight in the Panhandle district of
West Virginia be won only by raising the
standard of the class war that RACES there in an
ESPECIALLY brutal form.

Foreign Agitators

Portugal in the southwest of Europe and Bull
garia in the southeast, are torn by revolution.
Both little states have been conducting muir
derous onslaughts against the workers and peas
ants. Both nations are bankrupt and both have
dictatorial governments. The people of Portugal
are Latins of Bulgaria. Slavs. Portugal supported
the allied imperialists in the world war, Bulgaria
threw in her lot with those of the central powers
In both countries the condition of the workers
and peasantry is pitiable, the economic breakdown
complete.
The capitalist press may rave about foreign
agtators but unless capitalism itself has created
the conditions for revolution agtators waste their
breath
What really causes the capitalist press to foam
at its collective mouth is that there is today an
international working class political party that
connects these struggles Of the masses in all
tries into a single struggle against world capital
ism. This is the Communist International.
Communists are foreign agitators in that they
acknowledge no loyalty to capitalism, in the same
way that capitalist agitators in the Union Of So
calst Soviet Republics are foreign agitators.
TO the struggling workers, however, Communists
are not foreigners no matter what tongue they
speak. A>revoluton in Portugal, struggle for
power in Bulgaria, for which the capitalist press
blames the Communist international, shows that
a world state-a world workers. state--is in the
makng-a state in which capitalists and their
hangers.on will be the only foreigners.
