An especially rash one jumped up and threw a
hand grenade at it Then it gave way com

Over on the pile they seemed to rejoice at this
success. They even ceased firing for a moment.
''Will you give up the mine now? 2" one of them
cried The men did not know what to answer to
this. Most of them had not yet been discouraged
by the shooting Some looked as if the battle
had made them still more angry.

The miners poured out of the gateway to meet

comrades have described his simple life and his
work in exile. His widow Krupskaya, has also
written her memories of these times. She points
out that although they we're poor she cannot say
that they suffered actual need. Lenin had an
income from his literary work and he contributed
all he could afford to the party treasury. They
had rooms with workers, often only one room.
Lenin passed his time in Libraries, or in the edi
torial room of the party paper. Sometimes he
visited museums and infrequently theaters But
regularly, at least once a week, they passed in
excursions in the country. They had bicycles
and made trips.
Emigrant life has always been queer Engels
said that the best way to avoid its dangers is
to enter into the life of the country you are In.
Among the Russian refugees in the cities of West
ern Europe, all kinds Of groupings, gossip and
Islander prevailed. Spies and provocateurs tried
to sneak in among the revolutionists. Poverty
did its share In order to avoid the dangers of
emigration, Lenin lived apart from the emigrant
coteries. He kept contact with the labor move
ment of the different countries and especially
with the Russian movement. He followed the
movement minutely thru papers and letters and
thru receiving frequent visits of comrades from
Russia. He kept his comrades also busy working
and helped them in their troubles. Comrade
Zinoviev tells how he encouraged Others saying:
Things aren't so bad with us. PlevhanOv and
AxelrOd stared their eyes blind before they saw
the first revolutionary Russian worker Cheer

view said, Lenn felt in exile as the lion feels in
his cage. He had nothing to which he could ap-
ply his tremendous energy. And he saved him
self, like Marx in exile, by living the life of the
scientist He could spend his fifteen hours day
in the library and he was one of the bestread
men Of his time. He was an excellent lecturer
and teacher in party courses.
Once when MartOv came with the immigrant
gossip in party discussion he answered. Com
rade Martov, here in Geneva you can waste your
time with such word quibblings, but when. /

ers and peasants to whom I hope in a not very
far off future to answer the question of what l
think about the tasks Of the revolution. They
demand plain answers, how to fight, how to or
ganize the victory, and our party will give them
the answer. And they don't care for your petty,
ignorant matters.

LENIN
Short Stories of His Life

When Lenin was in Siberia, there were circu-
lated in Petersburg a memorandum written by
Madame Koskova 1t was called "Credo" and eX-
pressed views which were later known under the
name of economism. Representatives of this
theory explained that the political fight in Rus
STA was too hard for the workers. They must con
fine themselves to questions of their immediate
needs, such as wages, etc. 1t is the duty of the
bourgeosie to acquire bourgeois liberties for Rus
sia it said Lenin and his comrades sent
strong protest against these views; they showed
how it is exactly the workers who have to CON
duct the fight against czarism. Economism
would mean that the workers would become the
tail of the bourgeois movement. (Koskova has
also proved how correct Lenin was; she is editor
OF one of the white emigrant papers).
Already in his 'GTasks'' Lenin had said: owe
must not postpone the founding of the labor
party in Russia until we have political liberties.
We must not postpone the founding of the work
ers' party until the bourgeoisie has come to
power, because we are hundred years behind the
rest of Europe. Not at all. We must at once,
under the yoke of ezarism, under these very diff
icult conditions create our independent socialist
class party, party which will fight both against
czarism and against the bourgeoisie, and we will
do it."
No Place in Russia.
T ENNIS exile during which Nadyezhda
Krupskaya one Of the comrades in party
work, had become his wife-ended in January 81
1900. Lenin now tried to work in Russia, but it
seemed impossible. During the revolution, there
have been found gendarme reports which show
carefully his every step was Swallowed. He had
already in Siberia the idea that the party can be
created only around a central political paper.
Now the comrades decided that he should go
abroad and start the paper. And with him Mar
tinov and Potresov.
Before he left, July 16, he visited several places
in order to learn how the circles were working.
He also organized new circles. There were
party organizations at least in fifteen localities,
but the central committee elected at the conven-
ton of 1898 was in prison and there was moth
ing to take its place. Besides these organza-
tons, there we're the Jewish Bund and SOCIAL
democratic parties in Poland and Lithuania and
in Latyia. Strikes and demonstrations were
common occurrences at the time. A common link
must be created.
Thus began the long exile Of Lenin. 1t lasted I'M
til 1917, broken only during 19O519O7. Many
