Contrary to popular conception, the
most outstanding heroes of the world
are not those of war, but Of peace.
One Of the Montana heroes Of ordi-
nary life; n whose devotion, cOur-
age, pluck and persistence are so I'M
usual as to deserve the highest recog-
milton, is Miss Evelyn Watt Of the
Gallatin County High school, BOze-
man, who last week was given the
states American Youth award for
girls and will represent Montana at
the Sesquicentennial exposition at
Philadelphia.
Miss Watt is a modest young wom-
an. and only through publications in
the Helena newspapers have the
qualifications which led to her virtu-
ally unanimous selection as Mon
tana's girl candidate for the national
American Youth award become
known. When the records of the
scores of aspirants for the honor were
presented to the pupils of the Helena
High school for consideration, this IS
what Miss May Trumper, state super
intendent of public instruction, said
of her:

Capitalist Wireless
League Controls Air
Towers Turnout World

MONTE CARLO, Monaco (By Mail
The recent meeting of the Wireless
League at this premier gambling hell
of the world deserves attention, Tor It
illustrates how the most powerful cap
italist nations are manipulating the
latest and most wonderful scientific
invention for the diffusion Of knowl-
edge and thereby forming public opin-
ion to suit their own purposes.
The league was established three
years ago by representatives Of wire
less concerns in America, Great Brit
ain, and France. German firms were
later admitted. The object was to
avoid the duplication Of expensive
stations, especially in South America.
The Importance attached to the or
ganization is evident from the selec-
ton Of Owen D. Young, chairman Of
the General Electric company, the
electrical trust in the United States,
and of General Hartford, president Of
the American Radio corporation, as
the American delegates. The league
represents virtually all the wireless
concerns of the United States, Great
Britain, France and Germany, and is
therefore in effect world trust, as
there are few powerful corporations in
any of the other countries.
HUGE Air Stations.
The Wireless League constructed
very powerful sending and receiving
station at Buenos Ayres in Argentina
several years ago and has just COM
pleted monster tower at Rio de
Janeiro, Brazil, costing s4,0OO,OOO.
Each of the four nations has an equal
interest in these stations, which are
adjusted to receive messages from all
over the world.
Other countries have tried to get
in ON the league but failed. Mussolini
at the recent session attempted to
secure an interest for Italy but was
turned down.

and potential influence of the wireless
in an international sense is shown. by
The fact that the United States gov.

on American firms to prevent their un.
dertaking constructing high power
wireless stations for the Soviet gov.
eminent. In the United States Secre-
tary Of Commerce Herbert Hoover rep
resents the American trust and is prac-
tically dictator Of the air.
The American authorities. like their
European capitalist friends, are deadly
afraid of Communism being propa.

When they knocked the crown of
the Romanoff's head they knocked OFF
his head, too, and cleaned house OF
all the rats and lords. Then they
opened the doors wide for the toilers
whose ambition was suppressed by the

men are active and wise and they
know how it shall be good for the
new generation to live in a state
where there shall be no poor and no
rich, no classes and therefore no class
war either.
You will ask the question of how
they are building up a new and just
social order. For this purpose they
they take care of the tots who are
the real buds of a Communist order
of society, and, second, the develop
ment of industry on their territory as
high as possible. OF course these two
things are the most necessary things
and the hardest to do, and they take
the longest time and are a painful
process. But courageously they say,
with a smile on their lips, "Neechevo,
we work and we shall triumph"
You comrades who are reading our
press know better than can tell you
how the industries are growing, some
from 20 to 80 per cent. During the
time of the entrenchment of soviet
power they built nearly a hundred
new electric stations. OF course you
have many more electric stations In
America, but they are not for workers,
they are only built and invented for
exploitation of your energy. II you

MADISON, Wis, May 10. - H. M.
Wicks, editorial writer for The DAILY
WORKER, addressed Professor John
R. Commons class in economics at the
University of Wisconsin here yester-
day afternoon on the subject Of Marx
ism and Leninism.
Professor Commons, whose class is
engaged in the study Of socialism and
labor, had intended dealing with the
Communist Manifesto, but with Wicks
in Madison for debate with a lawyer
for the Wisconsin Manufacturers AS.
ISOLATION, he. desired that the Com
munist clear up certain disputed ques-
tons concernings the claim of the
Kautskyans that they are the true ex-
ponents of Marxism. Professor Com.
mons himself, holds that not Kautsky,
but Lenin, carried out the theory and
practice of Msrxism.
Introducing Wicks to his class
Professor Commons stated that he
was glad to be able to have a recog.
nized authority on the subject handle
the session.
Evolution Of Revolution.
Wicks introduced his subject by
stating the fundamental propositions
laid down in the Manifesto and traced
their development, step by step thru
the Paris Commune, the criticism by
Marx of the Gotha program, the Sec
ond International, the 1905 Russian
revolution, the world war and the Boil
shevik revolution; showed the break
down of the Kautskyan position and
the triumph of Leninism, which is
Marxism applied to this stage of i'm
perialism.
At the conclusion Of the lecture
Professor Commons instructed his
class to prepare papers on what they
had heard and gave them as readings
the Manifesto" Lenin's Estate and
Revolution" and 1.-THE Proletarian
Revolution, a Reply to Kautsky"

Professor Commons, whose History
of Trades Unionism in the United

work, has one OF the largest classes
at the university. In addition to his
regular class the class taught by

500 CHARLEROI
MINERS STRIKE

Demand Operators Sign
Union Agreement
By a Worker correspondent

MONESSEN, Pa, May 1S.-over
500 coal miners, all members of Local
Union No. 500 of the United Mine
Workers of America, have gone on
strike at Charleroi. Every union
miner in the Y. & o. mine at Charleroi
just across the river from here, is on
strike.
The agreement Of the miners union
with the bosses expired. The bosses
refused to renew the agreement and
also refused to agree to the union de.
mand that the company employ only
union men in all its mines. This com.
pany, 1t is stated, employed non-union
miners in some of its mines.
The miners are determined to stick
until they force the company to renew
the agreement.

WORKER CORRESPONDENCE FROM THE SOVIET UNTO
STAND TO AND DO AS WE DO

young people that are organized in the
'Komsomol" you would certainly ex-
claim, "Hurrah!" for the pioneers of
the new order.
They put the children under the
guidance of modern pedagogy and
sent the priest to take care OF him
self. They know how the priests in
France when they had power over the
children used to sell them to the Egyp-
tan traders, and they know how in
modern England Mr.. Baden-Powell
tried to organize them in Scouts so
they would be obedient to the boss in
the mill while he squeezed their blood
out of them. And they know, too,
that the Second International youth
movement which was founded long
ago in Belgium never got anywhere
because of Mr.. Vandervelde's bour-
geois theology.
But in Russia today the boys and
girls get chance to be- really con-
dcious citizens of new social society
A woman in Russia is freed from duty
two months before her child is born,
and all the time she gets full salary,
also for two months after. She can
take care of the child herself or she
can have it taken care OF in the "Chil-
dren's Garden" (Djetski Saad). l per-
sonally believe there are more chill
dren's parks in Russia than there are
automobile or nail factories in the
United States. In these parks the kids
are being raised in the spirit of the
most outstanding revolutionary lead
ers, like Karl Marx, Friedrich En-
giles, Nicolai Lenin and so many 9TH
ers. The inspiration to do something
useful is very firm in the children,
and the teachers are doing one of the
most important jobs for the revolu-
tionary Russian state.
After the boys and girls finish their
seventh year they go into the "Pion-
eers," they become crusaders for the
extension of Communist understand
ing. After they are thru another seven
years they go into the "Konsomol,"
where they are thoroly trained in the
international questions of the labor
movement and all the schemes Of the
international bourgeoisie and the i'm
perialists' policy. When they finish
here they go into the Party, as con-
scious members In the ranks of their
class, as fighters for human rights
and rebels against injustice every
where. That is the second factor in
the Socialist State of the Soviet
Union. In my next letter will write
to you about the life OF the women
here.

for a united front of labor against the
capitalist class They are taking steps
towards the creation of more or less
permanent committees that will rep
resent and fight for the interests OF
the workers.
The Communist local here is small
Their members, however, are very
active Their move towards the united
labor front was due to the persistent
agitation of the Communists. Tam.
pico labor's united front has become
a reality thanks to the efforts of the
Communists.
May Day Celebration.
The May Day celebration here was
very effective and demonstrated the
power of united labor front The
city remained at standstill during
the daylight hours. Not one impor-
tant place was open. There was no
traffic moving on the streets-not
even jitney.
From about o'clock in the morn
ing a parade composed of all the local
organizations marched thru the city
until about 1880 o'clock, carrying
banners and slogans all showing the
need of the united labor front.
After the parade a monster crowd
gathered in. the Plaza and almost
every organization had a speaker
address the workers, who in spite of
the burning tropical sun, stood almost
motionless as they listened to them.
Mass Meeting.
At four o'clock in the afternoon a
mass meeting was held in one Of the
largest theaters in Tampico. The
speakers pointed out the meaning OF
May Day to the workers and urged
them to carry on continental strug-
gle against the capitalist system. The
name of Lenin was mentioned fire.
quently by the speakers.
The united front committee formed
here is becoming a national move
ment. Thanks to the Communists
and other militant elements in the
labor movement this will be accom-
plished.
Imperialist Tools Fear Unity.
Attempts are continually being
made by tools of Imperialism here to
hinder the progress Of these united
front committees. In their press and
speeches they shout to the workers:
do not trust the Communists and the
socialists" Their efforts to create dis
trust are to no avail. The Mexican
workers realize their interests and are
forming these committees.
Tampico, which is one of the big
cities to take the lead in that respect,
has over 10000 workers, most Of
whom are workers in the oil industry.
