Anna Porter Tells Los
Angeles Workers About
Visit in Soviet Russia

LOS ANGELES, Calf, Dec. ~
Anna Porter of San Jose, Calf, Just
back from Union OF Socialist Soviet
Republics, spoke here at the Intl
Brotherhood Welfare Association hall,
420 Stanford Ave, on her Impressions
of Russia.
She gave short outline of the con-
ditions in Russia before, during and
after the revolution, and character
lied the first workers government as
the only hope for the working class
of the world.
The audience displayed great inter
est in the subject, and many ques-
tions we're asked James Eads How,
the hobo millionaire" was in the
audience and took lively part in ev-
|erything going on. He himself spent
some time in Russia last summer, and
when he came back he gave a fine
lecture in the l. B. W. A. hall. The
great progress made in Russia since
the overthrow of czarism made a deep
impression on him, he said.

Among the Pioneers
BY TOM BELL.
ey A Worker correspondent

LOS ANGELES, Dec. THE Los
Angeles Juniors observed American
Education Week by holding a counter
demonstration. This took the form Of
a concert, on Nov. 81 and % at the
Cooperative Hall.
In city like Los Angeles. which is
completely under the control of the
chamber Of commerce there is very
little need for an education week, as
the doping process (called education)
goes on constantly with the utmost
intensity. 1t is a common occurrence
to have bankers, judges, etc, address
the children at school. However, the
masters could not let such an oppor-
tunity as education week slip by UNI

ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS OF
THIRD LESSON IN CAPITAL

(Paues ga to 81, Volume |, capitaI)
/. When a commodity is in the
equivalent form, this expresses the
fact that it is directly exchangable
with other commodities.
2. Inasmuch as a commodity cannot
express its own value (e. g., it would
be meaningless to say that 20 yards
of linen equals 20 yards of linen) it
must find another commodity which
will stand as the expression of its
value.
3. The body Of the commodity
that serves as the equivalent, figures
as the naturalization of human labor
in the abstract and is at the same
time the product of some specifically
useful concrete labor. This concrete
labor becomes, therefore, the medium
of expressing abstract human labor.
In the equivalent form of value, use
value thus becomes the form of mani
festation of itss opposite, value, and
concrete labor becomes the form I'M
der which its opposite, abstract hui
man labor, manifests itself.
4. The labor of private individuals
takes on directly social form when
it produces the commodity which is
established as the equivalent form of
value.
5. The fact that prevented Arts
totle from completing his analysis of
value was that Greek society, founded
upon slave labor, had for its natural
basis the inequality of men and of
their labor powers; this prevented the
concept of value "a mode of expressing
all labor as equal human labor from
arising in the Greek society.
6. The value of a commodity
arises from its nature as product
of human labor power. Its exchange
value is the independent and definite

1. DO commodities, in their char
acter as different objects of use
full character, enter into relations with
one another?
2. Is the commodity mysterious
object because of its relation to other
commodities?
8. Is the value of commodity a
characteristic which resides within
the commodity itself?
A. What is the actual nature of
the relationship which is expressed
in the exchange relation between COM
modities?
5. Give definition of the fetishism
of commodities.
6. Does the discovery that values
are but the material expressions of
the human labor spent in their produc-
ton, place the actual process of ex-
change upon a different basis?
z. What are the conditions which
are necessary for the development Of
the idea that the different kinds of
labor which are carried on independ-
entity, are constantly being reduced to
the quantitative proportions which So
ciety requires?
8. How does the money form con-
ceal the social character of private
labor, and the social relations between
the individual producers?
8. Make a comparison between the
social relations in the performance of
labor, in feudal society and under
capitalism.
10. What does Marx mean when he
says that the formulate of the bour-
geois economists are the products of
a society in which the process Of pro-
duction controls the men, rather than
the men controlling the process of
production?
