LAID TO REST
NEAR kREMLIN
Moscow Workers Mourn
Death of Leader
(By Imprecorr.)

MOSCOW, U. S. S. R., July %. -
Today at P. NJ, the funeral Of Com
rade Dzerzhinsky took place. 1t was
the most impressive funeral ceremony
since the death of Lenin. 1t bore the
stamp of general popular mourning.
Comrades Stain, Rykov, Bukharin,
Trotsky, Kalinin, Zinoviev, Kamenev,
Rakovsky and others bore the coffin
from the Trade Union House, where
Dzerzhinsky had lain in the state, to
grave in. the Red Square. Countless
columns of workers, red army sol
diers, schoolboys and girls, as well as
representatives of numerous organi-
cations more than filed the huge
square and the surrounding streets.
The coffin was placed on a gun
carriage in front of Lenin's Mausol-
cum.
Comrade Rykoff, president of the
Council of Peoples Commissaries,
, opened the meeting. He said that the
Soviet state had lost in Dzerzhinsky
very great and talented statesman,
whom it had entrusted with the most
dangerous, most responsible, and most
difficult work for the consolidation
of the new order of society, as we'll
as for the development of socialist
economy. In Comrade Dzerzhinsky
there had passed away a revolutionary
who was entirely devoted to the in
terests of the masses and who enjoyed
the respect of enemies and the love
Of the people.
Comrade Bukharin spoke on behalf
Of the Communist Party: 'Comrade
Dzerzhinsky was the most self-saori-
icing soldier and true party leader
in all the stages of the revolution.
During the civil war he was the stan
dard bearer and sword of the revolu-
ton. In the present period he forged
our socialist economic system. The
Party considered him its noblest
knight. He remained this until the
end of his life. He resolutely pro-
tected the unity Of the party, which
he considered the necessary per-
requisite for the maintenance and con-
solidation of the dictatorship of the
proletariat.
Comrade Remmele on behalf Of the
Communist International and as rep
resentative of the Communist Party
Of Germany characterized Comrade
Dzerzhinsky as an eminent leader of
the international proletarian revolut-
ion, whose name will go down in his
tory together with the great cham
pions Of the emancipation of man
kind.
At Rest Near Lenin.
After speeches by Comrade Tomski
and Woroshiloff, as we'll as by repre-
sentatives of the institutions at the
head of which Comrade Dzerzhinsky
had stood, the coffin was raised and
slowly lowered into the grave in the
shadow of the Kremlin Wall behind
Lenin's Mausoleum to the strains Of
the Internationale and to the accom-.
panient OF saluting cannon and sirens.
The funeral procession marched past
the fresh grave with lowered banners
until far into the night

settlement with regard to wages,
hours, and national agreements"
This resolution, also, is suppressed
in sromley's narrative.
7. U. C. Condemns Wage Cuts.
We now come to the meeting Of
T. U. executives on April 20, the eve
Of the strike. Bromley deals with this
in very sketchy way. The chair
mans speech on that occasion gave
no indication that the general council
had weakened on the wages question.
He put forward the constructive pro-
posals of the council. Bromley says
that these proposals dealt with the
full implications of the report" and
suggests that by accepting them the
miners consented to a possible re-
duction in wages. But these proposals
rejected the whole idea Of reducing
wages. They contained these words
mot quoted by Mr.. Bromley:
''In our view the wages and work
ing conditions of mine workers are
already so depressed as to render
it imperative to seek for remedies
other than" (not, be it noted, "as
well as") "a further degradation
in their standards of life, or the
abrogation of the present standard
hours.
"The process of reducing wages
cannot provide a solution, and would
tend to intensity the present diff
Guilty. The figures given In the COM
missions report show quite clearly
that to seek any further degradation
of this level is quite indefensibIe."
These proposals were put before the
conference and afterwards submitted
to the government. They were en-
phasized by subsequent speakers.
Bevin, for example, was very clear
that the miners wages should not be
further driven down" Cook also
spoke. He said that If he understood
the resolution Alright it meant that
the conference confirmed and sup
ported the miners slogan. No one
contradicted him.. not even Mr.. Brom-
ley. Bromley does not mention the
fact that on the Sunday previous to
the stoppage some of the leaders of
the T. U. c. were apparently ready to
call off the strike and to betray the
miners, but were prevented from do
ing so by the government. Nor does
he quote the manifesto issued by the
miners that same evening, in which
they said that under no circum-
stances can the miners accept any
agreement which lowers the standard
Of living"
But he states that the strike started
mot on the formula of the min
ers, which had been definitely re-
jected by the industrial committee"
(when? when? whenO "but on the
decision of the conference Of execu-
tlves to support the miners against
having to accept reductions be-
fore negotiations on the rest of the
Report"
In other words, he apparently wants
US to believe that the sole object Of
the general strike was that the min
ers' wages should be reduced on May
ID instead of on May I, and that when
the T. U. c. found that the miners
could not be cajoled into abandoning
their principles they called off the
strike on May IL. In Bromley's own
words: What leadership! What a
tragedy! What lesson!"

MOSCOW (By MaiD Economic

brief parts of the newspapers, as, for
example, the one in the London Daily

sued clear and definite aims. If the
initiators Of this campaign think they

fectly well what they are aiming at.

our further economic development and
the consolidation and expansion of our
ties with the world market. Certainly

doom, will not succeed in turning us

paper.
