TENTH ANNIVERSARY
Two Lessons
INTERNATIONAL CHARACTER AND LEADERSHIP

The tenth anniversary of the existence of the Soviet
Union has been celebrated during last week by oppressed
workers and farmers thruout the world The children of
these oppressed peoples have also participated in these
celebrations. This important event is important that
is necessary to review points of information and
some lessons that can be drawn from it.
First: We must learn not to regard the revolution in
Russia isolated and purely Russian event 1t must
be regarded international event which started in
Russia, and must inevitably spread to other capitalist
countries until the system of capitalism is wiped off the
face Of the earth 1t is the beginning of the proetaran
world revolution.
Second: We must learn that revolutions dognot fall
from the skies Given all the conditions which make
revolution necessary and possible only the proper lead
ership lead the revolution correct and
full conclusion Russia had that leadership in Lenn and
the Communist Party Our lesson from that is build
the Young Pioneers the chldrens section of the Amer
lean Communist Party. All workers and poor farmers
children should therefore join this organization which
will help bring the second American revolution

Hunting a Job in Florida.
Editor, The DAILY WORKER:

My work-hunting for a job

Florida on the Gulf of Mexico. No,
I didn't find one; l won't keep the
reader in suspense. What I did find
was UNEMPLOYMENT on a large
scale, and wages cut till it hurt
Wages for unskilled labor ranging
from % to 80 cents an hour, and for
skilled from 40 to so, with the cost
of living still high.
But this doesn't mean that the

ing wages at the above rates. No
sir. Let me explain. I talked with a
man who had paper route with a
list of 112 subscribers, and on his
rounds to collect the Saturday before
he found that 81 of these were out of
work. And this I think is typical as
I related the story to other workers

BY ED. FALKOWSKI.

CUPERSALESMEN, adve isers,
~ mine managers, labor officials,
disbursements knife-and-fork clubs
have gotten behind the anthracite in
dustry in a huge effort to steamroll
it up the highway of prosperity. Not
withstanding the current market de-
preston which inevitably affects the
hard coal industry, attempts are be-
ing made to initiate the hard coal
regions with a self-induced prosper
ity. Whether the laws of economics
can be shunted aside, or whether the
hard coal industry is to face crisis
such as confronts all industries at the
moment, remains to be seen.
The Anthracite Booster Movement
has spread contagiously through the
hard coal belt. Originating in the head
of member of the Pottsville Amer
lean Legion, the idea percolated
through the press, and burst into an
eruption of meetings at which the
conditions facing hard coal were dis
cussed. Luncheon clubs found this a
fruitful topic; business men, COM
planning of the slack time which hit
the region, brought the matter up
time and again. Finally tremendous
meetings were organized to which in
fluential business men were invited
(rather, they invited themselves to
their own meetings., and colliery Of
ficials and newspaper men attended
in strong numbers.
THE keynote of these meetings was
the mournful one of oil cutting in
to the hard coal, and threatening to
eliminate it. Sharp-faced mine Off
Gals gravely diagnosed the situation,
hailing the miners wage as not high
enough for the risk he takes-yet in
the end, tying the talk up with re-
marks about the present high cost
of labor" Seldom a meeting passed
by without some official delivering
the tune of 'high labor cost" which
is apparently the chief reason why
coal, which costs about $3.50 per ton
to produce, should sell in the large
cities for $14 ton.
From the very beginning, miners
have regarded these booster meetings
with a shrug. Few have troubled
to attend them. "a day off is day
off-we get it in our bones" is the
feeling about slack time While news
papers blow hot and cold about these
meetings, advertising for the crowd
the crowd is always absent when the
chairman's gavel bangs the table, anc
the stodgy business men pass then
hands over their bald heads as they
set to figuring out the quirks in the
industry.
MANY things are said at these meet
IVA ings which never find their way
to newspapers. The editors of hare
coal papers serve political master;
faithfully, and carefully select the
material they will present to THEN
readers. When Mr.. Boyd of the Phila-
delphia Daily News gave his analysis
of the coal industry at Mahanoy City
some time ago, he delivered worthy
lecture in which he stated the mair
economics in the problem. Concluding
he said he knew of no remedy, but
hoped to hear something concrete be-
fore. the evening passed off.

Boosters Jack Up Anthracite a Notch
Comradely yours,
MARGARET YUHAS.

While Mr.. E. H. Seunder, manager
of the Madiera-Hill Co. coal opera
lions followed Boyd on the floor, he
harped the tune of high labor cost,
which he larded with heavy sympathy
for the poor miner" His talk was
followed by advertisers who insisted
that the hard coal industry does not
spend enough money telling the world
about it's product. Since substitutes
for hard coal have advertised, de-
mand for them increased prodigious-
ly. Let the anthracite producers fol-
low their example, and spend few
millions every year on publicity, since
it is logical that publicity should be
used to counteract publicity.
NEWSPAPERS chanted praises of
~ the wise remarks made at this
meeting, as they praise the unexam-
pied wisdom poured forth at every
meeting. Yet nothing happens to
show that this wisdom has any de-
finite bearing on the problem of hard
coal.
Banquets in the different hard coal
towns gave the diners opportunity to
dissect the industry along with their
fried chicken. These small affairs
were sideshows compared with the
monster congress which met two
weeks ago at Mt. Carmel where Gov.
Fisher, patron of the cossacks whose
thumps are being felt by many pro-
letarian skulls in the soft coal field
of the state, blessed the prosperity
which the hard coal industry de-
served but hasn't got The miners
got their share of rubs for the "sev-
enty years CT industrial strife
which killed" the industry. Coopera-
ton was stressed in manner which
made the company union seem the
next logical step in anthracite devel-
opment. John L. Lewis, however,
threw a hard note into the harmoni-
Gus gathering when he disdained the
idea that miners were responsible fol-
the troubles which shook the industry
that the longtime peace was desir-
able, and whether it would come to
pass depended largely on the oper.

atorS, as the miners were willing to
sign another five-year agreement on
top of the one they now enjoyed.
EFFICIENCY experts talked of the
- excessive labor power employed in
the hard coal industry, and how
machinery could cut down operating
expenses. The congress ended with
many hurrahs, and tremendous re-
suits were to be looked for. The
miner, slipping his glass of illegal
beer, lifted his shoulders in perplexed
wonder, as he lit his pipe and labelled
the whole affair as "hot air."
The present contract under which
miners are working calls for annual
discussions of wages at the request
of either party. There is some pos
sibility that such requests may come
from the operators in January.
One of the notable features of the
booster meetings is that the large
producers of coal have remained
aloof from the meetings. Only small
independents who incidentally, seem
to enjoy steady markets, had repre-
sertatives there, while the huge coz
porations hit by slack work seldom
had any one to represent them, up
to the time of the large meetings at
Ashland and Mt. Carmel
THE mind of the anthracite "public"
is strained in it's attitude toward
the industry. Not only are miners
urged to boost hard coal among them
selves, and to write to city friends
to use (which puts them into a
class of salesmen-but it is treason
to find fault with the industry or to
criticize the many features of the
booster movement. The fact that it
looks like a trap for the miner must
be utterly smeared over with the
honey of optimism. One dare be
truthful no longer even to ones own
views on this matter. To mention ones
doubts as to the motive ! behind the
movement is to incur the wrath of
labor officials, of public figures, OF
editorial pens, and may even culmin-
ate in lynching bee.

FLOTO HURT WHEN ROPE
BROKE; CHARLIE ROLLED

Jose Floto was knocked out and
spent Wednesday in the hospital when
broken derrick rope broke and let
him fall off a truck, striking upon
the back of his neck.
The accident happened while heavy
steel girders for the new Wilson-C Cof-
fin company building were being un-
loaded from the freight car. When
the rope broke Charlie Lehr and Flo
to, who were holding the guide rope,
were precipitated off the truck. Floto
lit on the back of his neck and rolled
under the truck, but Charlie fell to
the lower side. He rolled over and
over into the street in front of the
Waldhaus garage and was lucky that
no passing car ran over him. Even
after that long roll, he jumped up and
was the first to reach the uncon-
scious Mexican. Rex Goble helped
him take the stunned man to the hos
pital, where the doctors soon brought
him around.
