Anyhow Colonel House is no "Shack' Of a Writer
A submarine committee of the senate has ap-
proved the proposed investigation of the prohb-
ton. The report to the investigation does not
say whether this action is to be taken because a
bootlegger dropped case of liquor on the floor in
the senate office building the other day or not.
If the report of this dropping of is true there
is no question but what the gross carelessness of
official bootleggers should be investigated The
question is getting rather serious and something
should be done about it. If Washington, D. c., is
ever made bone dry, it will help the suburbs and
if the bone dry condition spreads to the suburbs,
it will materially affect the dry, moist and damp
vote in congress.

Puzzle a Day

Members Of the freshman class
baseball nine had their first practice
After practice was over, they were
too excited to put all of their pos
sessions back in their lockers. The
team manager, who entered an hour
later, found the locker room in the
above condition. So he amused him
self by drawing five straight chalk
lines on the floor, dividing the room
into sixteen parts with one forgotten
article in each part.
How were the lines placed?
Last puzzle answer:
The Caddie Master at the city
Golf Links bought 81 golf sets from
81 discouraged players. And paid 81
apiece for them, making a total cost
of $147. He sold these to the original
owners the following spring for
80 a set. He therefore received $1S9
for all the sets (21x9. The profit
on the deal was SAP. This is his cost
price Of sets (6x7=42). The profit
on each can be also figured in this
fashion: SO on each set for 81 sets
equals $42.

LETTERS FROM OUR READERS

Dear Comrade: The DAILY
WORKER. as we'll as all the members
of our party, makes always its job to
explain to the workers the need Of
class solidarity. l think that there
are still in our party members that
need little explanation as to the real
conception of solidarity Of the work
ers.
The strike of the I. R. T. workers
Of New York is still going on and, on
the other hand, the trains are start
ing to work almost normally. This
is not due only to the number of scabs
employed by the /. r. T., but also to
he assistance that the public indi-
-ectly is giving the company by riding
Il their cars.
Need Instructions.
A great number of workers and also
members Of our party are boycotting
the l. r. T. lines since the beginning
of the strike. This should be what
every worker ought to do. However,
there are still members Of our
party that think that riding on the
elevated trains of the l. r. T. is not
going against the strikers, because,
they say, the strike is in effect only in
the subway.
| think The DAILY WORKER
should write an editorial calling the
party members and all the workers

themselves from riding on the a."
They should be made to see that in
riding on the elevated they are help
ing the company, also the Brother
hood" which is fighting the strikers.
A Plain Case.
They should be told that it is no
more a question of boycotting the sub
ways because we want to help espe-
cially the workers that struck for
raise Of wages, but that the strike
aims at organizing all the l. R. 7.
workers in real union and that all
those that oppose this move are
strikebreakers and should not be
helped.
Deeds, Not Words.
In short, | would ask the editor of
The DAILY WORKER to write an edi-
torial bringing out all these points
and calling particularly to the mem
bers of our party not to ride on any
cars belonging to the l. r. T., whether
they run on the subway or elevated
lines, and thus show our solidarity
with the strikers in fact and not in
words, as people are starting to ac-
cuse us Of doing. With Communistic
greetings, David Amariglio,

world, how risky for the life and ex-
istence of capital an experiment of
that kind is which the conservative
party undertook in England. That the
experiment will not pass without in
jury to the conservative party, there
is hardly any reason to doubt. 1t is
equally impossible to doubt that this
lesson will be learned by the capital
lists of the whole world. Nevertheless
capital will still endeavour to make
fresh attacks on the working cass, for
it feels insecure and it cannot fail
to feel the need of steadying itself.
The task of the working class and of
the Communist Parties consists in
preparing their forces for warding off
such attacks on the working class

gle of the working class to set up the

do away with capitalism.
FINALLY, in order to fulfill these
l. tasks, the working class of Eng
land must, above all, free itself from
its present leaders. One cannot wage
war on the capitalists with such lead
ers as Thomas and Macdonald. One
cannot hope for victory with such
traitors as Henderson and Clines at
ones back. The working class of Eng
land must learn to throw such leaders
out for there is a choice of but one
of two things-either the working
class of England must learn to throw
out the Thomases and MacDonalds, or
it will not see its victory any more
than it can see its own ears.
Such, comrades, are a few infer
ences which are obvious in them
selves.

This is the third and last of q
series of three articles on the
British General Strike by the sec
rotary of the Communist Party Of
the SOCiet Union.
THE LESSONS OF THE GENERAL
STRIKE.
I The crisis in the coal industry in
l. England and the general strike
in connection with it sharply raise the
question of the specialization Of the
instruments and means of production
in the sphere of the coal industry,
with the establishment of workers
control That is a question of the
conquest of socialism. 1t is hardly
necessary to point out that there are
and there can be no other ways of a
fundamental solution of the crisis in
the coal industry except that pro-
posed by the British Communist
Party. The crisis in the coal indus
try and the general strike bring the
British working class very close to
the question of the practical realiza-
ton of socialism.
. The British working class was
Il compelled to discover by personal
experience that the basic obstacle on
the way to it's aim is the political
power of the capitalists, in this case,
the conservative party and its govern
ment If the general council OF
trade unions feared like the plague
to recognize the indissoluble bond Of
the economic struggle with the polit-
ical struggle, then the British workers
cannot help but understand now that
the question of power in their difficult
struggle with organized capital is
now the basic question, and that
without solving the question of power
it is impossible to solve either the
crisis in the coal industry or the
general crisis in the whole industry
of England.

u general strike cannot help but
convince the working class of Britain
that parliament, the constitution, the

against the proletariat. The strike re

A The course and outcome of the
t. strike cannot help but convince
the working masses of Britain of the
worthlessness of the old leaders,
grown up in the old school of the
British policy of compromise. They
cannot help but understand that the
old leaders must be changed by new
revolutionary leaders.

lesson.

( ing class courageously and deter
minedly to the end, is the Commun
list Party.
Such, in general, are the principal
lessons of the general strike in Eng
land.
A Few differences.
NOW l will make a few differences
1 Y of practical significance.
The first question is that of the
sterilization of capital. The strike in
England showed that the decisions of
the Communist International on the
temporary and unsteady character of
the sterilization are absolutely cor
rect. The attack of British capital
on the British miners is an attempt
to transform the temporary, unsteady
sterilization into steady and per-
manent sterilization. This attempt
was not crowned and could not be
crowned with success. The British
workers, replying to that attempt
with tremendous strike, showed the
whole capitalist world that it is i'm
possible to reestablish a durable stab
ilization of capitalism under postwar
conditions, that the experiments of
the British kind are pregnant with
the danger of destroying the basis of
capitalism. But if the assumption
with regard to the durability of the
sterilization of capitalism is incorrect,
then the opposite, that the stabiliza-
ton is at an end, that it is liquidated,
and that we have now entered upon a
period of the highest wave of revolu-
tionary storm, is just as incorrect.
The sterilization of capital is con-
tinuing; it is temporary, unsteady, but
nevertheless it is sterilization.
FURTHERMORE, for the very
reason that the present temper
airy and unsteady sterilization still
continues, capital will continue to en-
deavour to attack the working class
OF course the lesson of the British
strike must show the whole capitalist
