northern hemisphere. he says, will start
with a very late Spring and abnormal
frosts. In August there will be frosts in

prevail in Europe, with heavy and con-
tinuous rains falling destructively upon

other industrial capitalists would not
mean abolition Of, the capitalist, an
archy. Nor yet the conflicts aroused
by the increase of coal prices.
The German reformist Loeffler gives
epression to these same reformist il
fusions in the following words: ut
is to the interests of the miners that
the bitter competitive struggles on the
world market be prevented, for they,
as the economically weaker group,
have to bear the costs. But an inter-
national organization of the coal in
dustry can exist only if it serves the
interests of the coal industry, the min
ers and the consumers equally"
This is class collaboration, national
and international, expressed in plain
words. No wonder that the German
union bureaucrats are holding up their
American brothers as an example. The
miners struggles, now going on or
threatening in America, England and
Germany, are evidence enough against
this reformist illusion. There is only
one means of meeting the crisis, says
Comrade Ludwig. That is, the ma
tionalization of the coal industry, it's
operation under the control of organ
lied labor and international under
standing of the miners in collaboration
with their class brothers of all coun-
tries.

drank Hodges secretary OF the
1 International Miners Union, has
proposed an international merger of
the coal operators of several separate
countries as a means for helping the
British coal crisis. This proposal is
heartily welcomed by the German coal
operators paper in the Ruhr, and the
German Social-democratic organ, the
Vorwarts.
In the organ of our German brother
party, Comrade E. Ludwig, shows how
the plans of international capitalist
mergers create new reformist illusions
among the workers, hoodwinking them
with hopes of peace" through the
united front of the capitalists. The
proposal of Frank Hodges has arisen
from the international coal crisis.
which is felt especially in England and
Germany. In spite Of the state sub
sides, the English coal report has con-
tinued to decrease after 1925. New
and bitter fights threaten from the
side of the miners. The subsidies end
April Is and the capitalists demand
longer hours and wage cuts. The de-
mand of the miners is the nationali-
cation of the mines.
The German coal operators have
been rational" and have already
thrown out Of employment tens of
thousands of miners. This means that
the interests of the German and En-
glish coal barons are contradictory.
Both of them are conducting hard
fight at the cost of the miners. 1t is
this competition that Frank Hodges
now wants TO abolish. And his inten-
ton is to abolish the class struggle
at the same time. This comes out In
connection with the appointment of a
British Coal Commission advocating
the creation Of a British coal syndi-
cate. Hodges now wants TO conciliate
the German operators with this Brit
ish trust. The threat of monopoly
prices by such merger he puts aside
with this sentence: Il fear trusts less
than anarchy and chaos"
OF course the German English coal
syndicate could not wipe out capitalist
chaos. BY lessening German-English
competition. the rise In coal prices
would provoke customs wars from the
side OF other countries which are COM
