TNHIS, however, cannot be very
quickly because of the tangled up
methods of election carefully provid-
ed by an astute lot of Office holders,
still, whether it takes a relatively
long or short time, action certainly
will be taken to clear out officials
whose methods are those of collabor-
alton with the bosses. Militancy to-
wards the boss class will be an es-
sential in the future. Also there will
be demanded of them that they shall
actively support every movement
making for the elimination of section
alism. We have still over eleven hun
dred unions when less than thirty are
required. M
The machinists (engineers) are &C.
cupying a most unenviable position.
Considerably over two years have
passed since they commenced nego-
tiations with the bosses for a raise in
wages and so far the result is nil.
The seagoing men are also in pitiable
plight and the only stuff handed out
to them by their union officials is to
keep on friendly terms with the
bosses. ttt
THE delegates at the minority con-
i ference will certainly strike a very
different attitude and prepare the
way for action that will make for
lettering of the workers position now
and aim definitely at the full control
of industry by the workers in the
not far away future.
Political affairs are such that they
cannot be ignored. We know for
a certainty that there are four or
five members of the British govern
ment working Enthusiastically to

commanding and regardless Of cost;
was not the cost borne always by the,
patient peasant.
A nearer view of Samara discloses
chiefly a more expanded squalor Of
the Russian village. Shores deep in
mire from river slowly retreating
in the summers heat. You climb a
steep, cobblestoned path for many
blocks till you come to the city
proper, safe on its height from the
varying foods of the great river. Only
on such heights have cities been able
to maintain their hold and grow. Here
on top there are better buildings, sol
id in brick and stone. But here too
is the dilapidation of the Asiatic mar
ket-booth, the peddlers crying their
wares, the beggars asking aims. Here
too, are still the ravages of civil war,
buildings burned out and not yet
repaired, since three of the past five
years have been bad harvest years.
None of these signs marked out. Sa-
mara as a Soviet city. And in truth,
if l were hunting a typical Soviet city
| would look elsewhere, at the rapidly
growing Novo-Sibirsk, the Chicago OF
Siberia, or some of the towns where

James O'Donnell Bennett of the Chi
cago Tribune, in his sketch of historic
spots in the middle west, described
the Trappist monastery near Dubuque,
Iowa. Rigid rule of discipline are OBJ
served by this order. Their slogan is:
Remember DEATH" and silence their
cardinal virtue. And they shun the
company of woman!
VET at one time the Trappists were
l. gay lads, so much so that good
people dreaded their visitations as
much as a chicken farmer would the
presence of a band of gypsies in the
neighborhood. The Trappists hailed
originally from a little town in Nor
mandy, France. After short period
of good conduct the jolly monks cut
loose and went the pace. They won
the title of "brigands of La Trappe."
Finally one of their number lost his
heart to woman, who forgot to re
turn 1t. The heart Qess) monk re-
formed, gave spiritual purging to
his followers and from then on the
Trappists have held women as the
most dangerous enemies Of male vir-
tue. Hence the rule in the Trappist
monastery at Dubuque, that inside its
walls no woman shall go. We wish
The monks luck, but they should keep
their payday deep secret. OF course
if they have no paydays they are
reasonably safe from temptation.

that beautifully planned construction,

ween the pillars of the upper story,
as the Greeks also once sculptured
figures of the activities they loved to
honor on their temples. These figures
show men lifting timbers, laying ties,
hewing stone, building the railroads
of a continent. Not even railway
office building, it seems, can so up in
a Soviet town, without in its archi-
lecture paying tribute to labor.

chairman Of the Minority MoVement.)
TIME miners fight is being carried
4 on at the time of writing with as
much vigor as at the beginning of
the struggle fourteen weeks ago. The
total number returned to work apart
from safety men and outcrop work
ers does not exceed one thousand,
cut of grand total of one million
three hundred thousand.
The government is reducing the
customary allowance to persons who
obtain relief from the Poor Law
Guardians to bring pressure upon the
miners and their wives to close the
dispute. It is a fine compliment to
the determined spirit actuating these
men and women that altho the eco
nomic pressure is increasing week by
week there is no flinching and the
women are quite as pugnacious as
the men, and are making light of the
rrivations they are subjected to, be-
ing fully alive to the fact that 1t
is a vital matter that the fight shall
be kept up and won to prevent fur
ther serious drop in their normal con-
ditions.
TIME subscriptions from workers in
4 this country are not as high as
they should be, but it is necessary
to realize that the miners with their
families number five millions of peo-
pie, whose income has been cut off
for fourteen weeks to date, whilst
three hundred thousand of these had

Strike Sufferers.

Sir Arthur SteeI-MaitIand,
minister of labor, has abandoned
all hope of a holiday until the
coal strike ends. 1t is now in
evitabIe that parliament must
interrupt its holiday to meet a
week from now in order to con-
tinue the Emergency ReguIa-
tons, which, if trouble should
develop between the strikers and
the men returning to work, will
be doubly necessary. As for
Premier Baldwin, he will pro-
badly manage to get away on a
real holiday. Those close to him
have become apprehensiVe re-
garding the effect which the
continued strain of public affairs
may have on him.-(From a

of Soviet Russia. | take this oppor-
tunity Of saying that | am convinc-
ed the workers here will not stand
for It.
The machinists (engineers) are suf-
fering most seriously for lack Of en-
ployment which in pre-war days came
to this country from Russia. These
men are idle and some of them have
had no work for several years, yet
Russia stands in need of more prod
ucts formerly supplied by this coun-
try and would willingly give the or
ders to this country but for the hos
tile attitude of the government.
TT is too late, there is no govern
ment or combination of govern
ments that will be able to overthrow
Soviet Russia, tho they may seriously
retard her development. and in do
ing so inflict most serious hardships
upon the workers generally and GER
tainly upon the workers of Britain.
Another instance of capitalistic
governmental fear of the workers
showing solidarity is seen in the an
nouncement just made by Winston
Churchill on behalf of the govern
ment-that the government has care
fully investigated the situation and
is fully agreed that it is not in the
general interest that workers in the
civil service should belong to organ
izations connected with the Trade
Union Congress-. and that legislation
will be introduced to deal with this.
This means that it will be declared
an illegal act if the Unions of Pub
lie Servants join up with the T. U. c.
