Ten Days In The Life of John Reed

pilots begin to get nervous. Tne
frontiersmen fall silent.
- Well, someone says.
- This won't do. Wen be observed
before we're across.
They explain these things to the
American.
- Let me go across, he says anx
iously.
- No. you can't go. We are re-
sponsible for the people who cross
and we can't let them be killed use
lessly.
- I'll never learn any better. For
three months I've tried to cross the
border in the west and in the south.
Let me cross now.
- We can't. The discussion is
closed, comrade. In two days you will
cross.
But l won't learn any better.
- But you will cross in spite of
that We have already taken steps
for another means of getting across.
Reed Gains down and goes back to
the camp. He eats, muses., sleeps
Then one evening comes a man
with a sleigh, with sheepskins and
mittens. After a few minutes John
Reed is in the sleigh and looks like
a peasant from the neighboring coun-
try. Everyone must be made to think
that this is a wealthy farmer and his
hired man. The snow is whirling
when the horse pulls out. The miles
spin out behind the sleigh, the winter
night is silent, nobody disturbs the
peace of the forest. Once they stop
to change their horse for a still better
one. The night ends, and the twenty
five mile road is at an end too.
- This is high speed, Reed had
said, but the Finnish boy had not an
swered a word.
Now they are in a farmhouse on the
Finnish side. Comrade Reed gets food
and rest, and in the afternoon he
takes bath. Then a second-class
ticket for the train, and he gives a
receipt written in English, to the
pilot, to show the comrades on the
other side that he is safe.
The train starts and ten days of
John Reeds life have passed.

Looking for a job.
BY Sidney Keller.

r WAS looking for a job. / stepped
4 into the free bureau Of employers
association of automobiles. / asked
him for a job.
He nodded his head as the line Of
men looking for jobs passed him.
He gave a slip of paper to each man
to be filed out: Name, address,
where born, how odd, situation, where
last worked, how long why quit, what
kind of work.
Observed applicants again.
Sent over to clerk for filing.
A piece of paper handed, go to so
and-so.
Hand paper to soand-so; filled,
sorry"
Sent out again to another so-and-
so, sorry too late"
Get into line for different job.
New registration etc.
Job, hand screw man; the last Job
was punch press and set up man;
this place, The Burroughs Adding Ma
chine, asks ~ How long out Of job?
CD How much money have you? co
How are you physically? Is there
death in family? "a Have you ever
been sick? 90 What do you know
about that job?
How much money have you spent?
$500. ! have two children; I've been
out of work eight months; this was
the reply. "No, can't use you!"
The employers association does not
care If you work or not. They simply
are camouflaging. They are useful
for the registration of help SO that
they can judge whether they can cut
wages or not.
The factory employment Offices are
packed every morning with men look
ing for jobs, so try and get a Job at
an employers association. II Is a
humbug. The capitalists are content
ed but not the thousands Of jobless
workers. They tell you to come

maybe" and all the old bunk.

He sits in the snow, desperate, and
looks at the others.
- If the victory of the revolution
depends on my ability to ski. it will
be hazardous, he says, but the others
encourage him:
TT 1t can be learned. And the art
of revolution can be learned. This is
one kind of international exercise.
Old man Ilyitch in the Kremlin does
his part and we are doing our stuff.
AS the jokes of the boys are trans
lated to Reed, he laughs with them
and tries again.
At twilig.. they stop. Then the
Finnish bath-the steam from hot
stones and bath-whisks of birch
branches. And hotter and hotter
When they are redeemed, they plunge
into the snow and come back.
Reed is looking on. He tries to
take the bath, but cannot stand it.
\ Is this necessary for revolution
ry training, too? he asks.
They answer that this is not as
necessary as skiing-there is room
for bargaining here.
- Slava Bogu, thank god-he says,
and rubs his sore hands with soap.
After the bath there is supper and
then they yield the best place, on
the oven, to their guest. But the boys
are preparing for something else.
= Where are the boys going? asks
Reed. So heavily armed!
- To the frontier to scout. If you
don't sleep very heavily you'll learn
something about frontier life.
The stranger lies on the oven,
smoking his pipe and musing.
But he wonders still more when
the snow-covered men come in later
with heavy bags. From these come
papers-Finnish, Scandinavian, TIA
liam, and all languages. There are
Communist, socialist, right and left
wing, radical, liberal, black, red,
white, pink, many-colored. POLITICALLY,
of eourse).
= Hey, the worlds news, Comrade
Reed! the men cry as they take the
papers from the bags and put Others
in their place. The men are leaving
for Petersburg and the frontier.
- This is the blockade of Soviet
Russia,-the men laugh,-the mail
boycott.
Comrade Reed shakes his head
! never saw such post-office, he ad-
mits. Then he lies down comfortably
and begins to read the papers.
Three o'clock. 1t is time for the
revolutionary smugglers to go over
the border. Papers of 'the revolution
airy country, leaflets in several Ian
guages, and letters to all corners of
the world. Names are called, the
Comintern is mentioned, the guns
are loaded, Mausers, Nagans, Para
bellums. Hand-grenades in pockets.
Pipes are lighted and then these
sincere men go on their road. In the
cold night, in the frontier forests.
= Where did they all go? Comrade
Reed asks. fs
over tue LOuLlef.
- Are they going all together?
- Some alone, some together,
whatever tactics are needed.
- Is this the way | must go, too?
- The very same way.
= Are there not white" watchmen
on the border?
- Surely. Why else would they
need those arms!
= Is there fighting sometimes?
- Very often.
- Isn't it possible to dodge them?
- Sometimes it is; we always try.
= And when you don't succeed?
viii they shoot?
- They willard they got shot at,
too.
= And you force your way, don't
you?
- Sometimes we have to.
= That's a tough job!
- Yes, that's frontier life. There's

automobile is heard in the winter
night. The man was nightly guest
in the frontier camp.
- Hello, boysl
- ZdoroYoye!
There is a dark man with him. He
does not speak our Finnish language,
and he does not know much Russian.
He sits silently and observes the
frontier guards. The moon is shin
ing. The cold is striking heavy blows
at the trees and the corners of the
log-house. The nightly shooting has
not yet started. Revolutionary work
is going on The scouts on skis are
watching the movements of the enc
my, shooting and getting shot at.
The strange war-fronts of the border
there is no war, no peace, but con-
tinuous danger from ambush.
Here is a comrade sent by Via
dimir Ilyitch himself, foreign com
rade. He has tried to cross the border
at several places in order to leave
for home. Now we must help him.
- Difficult to cross now. The
watch-dogs of white Finland are
awake. But maybe we can give them
the slip.
- Maybe" is not the right word
now. The fate of American comrades
cannot be risked on any uncertainties.
- Well do our best.
And so the responsibility for the
stranger comrade is laid on the
shoulders of the revolutionary from
tiersmen.
Night is progressing in the frontier
camp. Messengers are coming and
going. They bring and take away
newspapers and letters. Codes are
deciphered. War is going on all
around our socialist country. This
is the only window to the outside
world. And it must be held open by a
crack, and at this crack the comrades
sit. earnestly studying the news of the
world ~
- Can you speak English?
- Very little, but let's try Russian.
And then there begins a discussion
in which words in several languages
are used.
- Comrade. are you able to use
skis?
- don't know. Maybe 1 can do
it we'll / never tried.
II see. Tomorrow morning you
will begin a hard exercise.
= Is there no other way to get
through?
= No. You must ski ten miles
behind the pilots, and very fast,
because the watch-dogs will be after
you
Reed sits thinking. He says:
- 1 have learned many things in
this world, but now it seems that the
revolution demands something new.
= So it seems. These northern
morasses are such that you can go
over them only with skis. The rev.
olutionists in other climates may have
their own ways.
The American comrade considers
this at length. The next morning he
is put on skis and STATS are put in
his hands. He says: Maybe / can
smoke pipe first.-This is granted.
He lights his pipe and starts skiing.
But in a moment he is sprawling in
the snow. He says something in his
own language. The Firms give their
advice.
- Not so hurried. Take it easy.
First this foot, bend your body for
ward a little, keep your balance and
let your STATS help you. 1t is the
simplest thing in the world.
The stranger does not understand
half of their advice. He is trying his
best. The sweat is pouring from his
forehead.
= The theory OF the revolution was
never SO hard for me as this, he says.
When is your lunch-time?
= Well, we can go in for that, but
then you have TO start again.
The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1926-02-13

The sound OF rapid shooting out
side interrupts the conversation. The
camp Waterman seizes his gun from
the wall, grabs up some hand-gre-
nades, and goes out into the dark
night. The frontier peace is again
disturbed; the comrades are in need
Of help The shooting goes on for
fully half an hour. The machine-gun
joins in. Half a dozen bomb explosions
are heard. Then everything Gains
down, and the peace Of the forest is
iundisturbed.
John Reed has gotten up from his
bunk; he PAGES alone in the room,
and listens anxiously to the shooting
The place and the events are strange
to him, and he does not know what
is happening His mind runs like this:
Why don't the comrades send a mes
sage? Why didn't they take me out
to fight the common enemy? ] can
shoot too, and want to. could
have been of use out there.
Listen-there are sounds outside
All the comrades but one are coming
in. Silently the men put down their
weapons and take off their coats.
Not a word is said. They have done
their nights work and are ready for
rest.
Reed looks at the comrades for a
long time. When he sees that they
are not going to tell him, he begins;
What was the shooting about?
- The whites opened fire when our
messengers crossed.
- Did they hit you?
= One Of the comrades was left on
the ice, and we didn't get his body,
either.
- Did the messengers come back?
Yes.
- But l don't see them.
- Why should they come here?
They had to cross the border, you
know.
But how could they do that when
the whites were shooting?
= Very simple. They took another
road. The whites can't watch every
where.
- How did they dare to try after
they had been thrown back?
= Well, how does the red army try
again when it's thrown back? We have
to get things going. And the fight
was between the frontiersmen, you
see, not the messengers. We did the
shooting with the whites and drew
away the attention of their scouts on
skis, and in that time the boys got
across the river. They detoured for
few miles, and are safe now.
= And the dead comrade? What
about him?
The whites got him when he fell
close TO their lines.
- Too bad.
= Yes, but such things happen. We
will take some of them in our expedi-
tons, and bury them in the morasses,
as they're doing to our comrade, and
then we're quits.
Hmi
= What did you say. Comrade
/ Reed?
- only said "Hml"
- Well, l think it's time to go to
bed. You have hard exercise to-
morrow, you know.
And soon the boys are snoring, but
the stranger is thinking things over.
Strange, this frontier life.
It is bitter cold next morning, but
the skiing practise goes on. The
pupil learns the Abe of skiing. En-
couraged by this success, he is eager
to ski all day. In the evening he eats
like a wolf, and goes to his bunk
early.
But his experience is not enough
for the trip across. You have to run
fast il you want to get by the enemy.
The boys know it and do not let
Reed cross yet. A sudden disturbance
