Soviet Workers Keep Up
Aid to British

MOSCOW, June 3.-(By Man)-
The central committee of the Miners
Union of the Soviet Union received a
telegram from Cook today in which
he acknowledges receipt of the in
formation that 100000 more roubles
had been sent Off Cook expressed
"the deepest thanks Of the British
miners for the splendid solidarity Of
the working class of the Soviet I'm
ion"
The central committee of the Min
ers' Union today sent $4,000 roubles
to London as the first instalment Of
the collections undertaken by the CO.
operatives of the Soviet Union.
The secretary of the central coun-
ell of the Labor Unions of the Soviet
Union, Dogadov, declared that fur
ther sums would be sent to the Min
ers' Federation of Great Britain ac-
cording to the receipt of the wage
contributions of the Russian work
ers. He also stated that the flow of
contributions had not in any way
weakened and that in most cases not
a quarter of the days wage was be-
ing contributed, but still larger sum.
The boycott of all forms of com
bustible material for Great Britain is
being 1008o maintained. Dogadov de-
clared: Naturally, in comparison
with the great struggle of the British
miners our assistance is not very
great, but we are doing what we can
and we will continue to fulfill our
class solidarity towards our British
brothers."

began to melt. A mass meeting was
planned, an effort was made to ar
range a mass funeral of all the VIC
TINS an expression of working class
mourning rather than the grief of q
few relatives and friends, congress
sional inquiry was sought for, to tear
aside the veil that obscured the real
nature Of the steel trust tyranny. An
attempt was made to draw other labor
elements into the growing protest.
But the forces that had been aroused
were too weak and got into action too
late to take full advantage Of the sit
uation. Another opportunity had been
lost. Strenuous efforts, to be sure, are
now being made to retrieve this error.
Something will be accomplished.
But when the steel workers gathsr-
ed in mass protest meeting at Turner
Hall, in Gary, Saturday night, June
10, applauded the mention OF The
DAILY WORKER, then l knew that
its effort had not been in vain. Rath-
er this was an indication Of it's great
possibilities.
It Grows With the Left Wing,
If the left wing had properly ex-
plotted the Gary disaster there would
have been protest meetings ablaEe
thruout the whole steel district, from
Waukegan and South Chicago, dn Hli-
nois, thru Gary, Hammond and other
Indiana steel centers. At this writ
ing the Gary protest meeting stands
alone. Gary deserted by labor else.
where, is forced to fight its own bat
ties. No doubt, dn the other steel
districts, in Pittsburgh, and Bethls-
hem, Pa, in the Maihoning Valley, in
Ohio, and elsewhere over the land, It
would have been impossible to hold
effective gatherings, but everywhere
there could have been at least an ef-
fective distribution of The DAILY
WORKER telling the story Of Gary
at the gates of every steel mill.
This is one of the ways of develop
ing The DAILY WORKER into the
mass expression of the workers. 1t
is simple. 1t is elemental. But It
isn't done. The result is that there Is
neither a powerful left wing nor q
mass organ of the left wing.
Three hundred copies Of the The
DAILY WORKER were sold ct the
gates of the steel plants in Gary last
Saturday. But 1t could have been
thousand. The additional copies had
not been provided. Thus are the pos
sibiHties underestdmated and lost.
A heavy burden falls on the few
active militants. They must get sub
scribers for The DAILY WORKER to
maintain the contacts made. These
subscribers must renew when their
term of subscription ends. Worker
Correspondents groups must be organ
lied. Nuclei of the Workers Party
must be organized. Shop papers must
be issued. Every grievance. some
times seemingly insignificant, must be
made the basis of "AgitationI Edu-
cation! Organization!"
Away with indifference! Forward
to greater activity, seizing every op-
portunity. Thus will the left wing
grow and the day speeded when The
DAILY WORKER will become the
mass organ of the American working
class.

Doctor Long WAS the son of James

born in DanielsylIle. Ga, November l.
ISIS. lie was graduated from Frank
lin college, now the University Of
Georgia, In 1886, standing second III
his class, ard went from there to the
University Of PENNSYLVANIA. to study
medicine He was graduated from
that university in 1859 and for a year
was employed N a Sew YORK hospital.
This work did not appeal to him and

practice of medicine. lie settled in

parties beesmc quite n fad Doctor
Long wished to encourage his young
friends In thcif fun, but he found ii
difficult to supply shem with sufficient
nitrous oxide to meet their demands.
With the inadequate laboratory equip
ment he possessed he founts it impos-
sible to prepare this element in guam
titles.
So he permitted them to use sui
phurie ether, and either parties be-
came the rage in the winter Of 1S41-4ae.
The young doctor observed that ether
seemed to make those who partook of
it insensible to pain. One night at a
frolic youth slipped and fell He
dislocated his ankle, but suffered no
pain. Then the Young practitioner
concluded that If ether inhaled in fun
could make person ebliyious to pain,
it could be employed in scientific
way TO stop pain in operations.
Among the young men of Doctor
Longs acquaintance was james VI.
venable. who suffered from tumors in
his neck. Doctor Long suggested he
could put him under the influence of
suiphurie ether and remove the tumors
without pain. The young patient was
game; he consented 10 let Long do the
job. Doctor Long administered the
anesthetie, and when Nenable awoka

through the employment Of the new
anesthetic. 1t was generally accepted
in the neighborhond that he could do
it. No great stir was made over il, and
the practitioner cxertcd no effort To
acquaint the medical world with his
achievement.
In the meantime w T. G. Morton
was experimenting in the Boston of
fee and laboratory of Dr. c. T. Jack
son. He became interested in den
tistry and made several contributions
TO that science. First trying ether on
animals, he extended the experiments

This was more than four years after

four Witnesses to The removal Of the

have kept as quiet about it as he did
Eventually The dispute as to the
right Of discovery and the honor of
having performed the first operation
reached congress In 1S49 Doctor
Morton asked congress to recognize
his claim, but Senator William c.
Dawson of Georgia, fought so effective
" for Doctor Long that Aorton's am
bition was defeated. No action was
taken.
It must be said, in justice to Doctor
Jackson. that before he died he ad,
mitted in full the justice of the claim
of Doctor Long.

in 1877, after complete inquiry into
the controversy. declared that Doctor

story of this great achievement.
1t is curious that every rival Of Doc

matte end. DR.. Horace Wells, over

the French academy, committed sui
