Cling miners not to open the question

in shutting of all discussion as they
did, even tho they maintained con-

Cook, after all the magnificent fight
ing he has done for the miners, had
again allowed himself to be trapped
and used as an instrument against
the miners by their betrayers in the
general council. Never was more
forcibly brought forth the Importance
of clear leadership, and the disas-
trous effects OF muddle-headedness
which cannot be remedied by the best
of intentions.
The observer is especially struck by
the enormous weight of tradition car
ried by the British unions. Every
thing must be done according to the
forms handed down by the 81 preyi-
GUS congresses, and according to the
traditional British courtesy" Thus,
the congress was opened by an ad-
dress OF welcome by the mayor Of
Bournemouth, for which he was Of
ficially thanked by the congress-all
the while, each delegate knowing that
this mayor is one 81 the bitter enc

The Revolt of Youth" Is sending
cold shivers down. the backs of the
American capitalists. And the CAPT
talists are not nearly as disturbed over
the alleged moral lapses of thes
younger generation as they are over
their discarding of all the props that
have been erected to support the pres

This revolt Of the present-day youth
against the indigestible fooleries which
are being stuffed down their throats
Is making itself evident strongly in
one Of the most powerful units of the
capitalistic systematic college cam

may be, are able to penetrate the
imbecilic fetishes that are thrust at
them in the guiSe of mental and spirit

pathic bally-hooers, the commerce
clubs, and -big business" men, osten-
sibly spurred on by a neurotic sense
of philanthropy, but more truly by a
remarkably intelligent insight as to
what is happening, are taking keen
interest in what the youngsters are
doing in the colleges and churches.

THE STUDENTS IN REVOLT

lege system today is the fight between
the students and "big gift" donors for
control Of the universities. The stu
dents are depending on the develop
ment Of "class consciousness" as their
main weapVn. Weapons Of the college
administrations are more subtle, an
open break being feared because OF
the increased numbers Of radical"
students on each campus. Great re-
lance to curb the revolving tenden-
cies OF the students is placed in the
"rah! rah" spirit Of the colleges by
the presidents and trustees. This ex.
plains the great emphasis placed on
athletics, and especially football. The
presidents realize that as long as they
can keep the students in a state OF

And the capitalists realize With extra

student energy that might otherwise
find expression in bringing about a
college revolution. But the safety
valve is beginning to show signs Of
decay, because the students are be-

A FTER sitting thru week Of meet
"A ings of the Trade Union Congress
at Bournemouth, England, came
away with one impression dominating
all the others-amazement as to how
it was possible for great national
body Of Labor, with delegates from
every section and every industry,
to meet for six days without seri-
Gus word being spoken by its leaders
about the tremendous struggle which
is shaking the British economic sys-
tenn to its foundations. And that these
leaders should also be able to so eff
fectively muzzle the opposition is as
tonishing to one from outside Of Brit
ain. A few impressions Of an eye-wit-
ness of the congress may help to an
understanding of the extraordinary
events of Bournemouth.

bears a large share of the RESPONSE

congress dominated by officials Bit

Cook and the miners very deeply;
Cooks appearance on the floor was

This was but a faint reflection of the
deep feelings among the masses out
side the congress. Cook occupied a
position Of tremendous potentialities.
But he failed completely to mako use
