Faced By New Problems
'The end of the war against coun-
ter-revolution placed the proletariat
and the Soviet government before new
problems. 1t was necessary to organ
ize the national economy in such a
way that socialists should be victor
ious. On the base of the nationaliza-
ton of land, factories, works and
other instruments Of production; on
the base of monopoly of foreign trade
it was necessary to pass to the or
ganization of constructive work of
millions for massed front national
economy.
"The successful solution of the most
difficult problems. concerning econom-
ic policy was possible because the Oc-
tober Revolution created base for
planned direction Of national economy.
After several years of the new eco
nomic policy the national economy of
the u. s. S. r. recovered itself from
the period of disorganization, surpass-
ing the pre-war level of productive
forces. The industry for the socialist
foundation Of the national economy is
now developed and consolidated. Co.
operation and state trade has increas-
ed and is now occupying predomin-
ant position in the total trade turn

more and more thrust back and the
commanding position of the proletar-

Ohio Miners Need
Relief; Ask Order
For Mass PiCketing
(By Worker Correspondent


MARTINS FERRY, Ohio, Oct. 16.
District officials of the United
Mine Workers of America recently
met in Columbus to discuss ways and
means of effecting a settlement in
this district, which has been locked
out since April of this year. The
officials true to Lewis, Green & Co.
are substituting for the traditional
fighting policy of the miners, one of
begging for ''peace in the industry"
A letter sent to the operators and
the press recently is thruout an
apology for the strike and begs for
settlement on the basis of the II
linois and other agreements, with the
selection of committee of two and
two to "study the conditions in the
industry" and on the findings Of THIS
committee to determine the wages and
conditions in the Spring of next year.
When informed of the proposal,
the representative Of the operators
declared that the Ohio coal operators
are not interested. However another
conference was proposed by John
Cirque, sub-district president.
The miners in their seven month
struggle, exhausted,-ar facing star
walton, and eviction in the winter
months.
The miners for the past couple of
months have been clamoring for re-
lief from their district officials, with
the usual reply: eve would show our
weakness to the operators if we were
to solicit relief" About $1.75 a week
has been paid to few. In a number
of localities in this sub-district the
miners are themselves collecting
relief in their respective cities, but
they are fast realizing that the whole
organized labor movement must be
modified in their behalf. They are
making preparations for organizing a
Statewide relief organization.
The mines in this locality are
gradually opening on scab basis
with the leaders, instead of urging
the miners to break the Injunction
and go out en- mass to the picket line,
having difficult time keep them at
home, and urging them not to use
any abusive language when yelling
for the scabs to leave the mines. The
miners are blue in the face from
having to yell at the scabs for months
with megaphones, from a distance.
One hears very frequent comment:
1--WE have never won any of our past
strikes with megaphones and unless
we start mass picketing this strike
will be lost'

PITTSBURGH, Pa, Oct. 16.-The
labor party Of Allegheny County,
Pennsylvania, has nominated candi-
dates and will be on the ballot in the
coming November elections
In the past few years the old party
politicians were successful in captur-
ing the labor party and using it for
their own purposes. The labor party
in reality became the tale end of the
republican and democratic parties.
This year. the city and county COM
mittees were reorganized and real
labor ticket nominated. The demo-
cratic party, following the policy of
the past years made an attempt to
place its candidates for county COM
missioners, Hoolahen and Bremen, on
both the democratic and labor party
tickets. They were both badly beaten
in the recent primaries by Powers
Hapgood, well known progressive
miner, and Leonard Craig, moulder,
the nominees for county commission
tee of the labor party. The candi-
ers sponsored by the county commit
dates of the labor party are as fol-
lows.

Another reflection of the shift OF

for August shows that the 36,556,02
spindles in the United States aver

the month. But southern spindles
averaged 326 hours compared with an
average of 1914 hours per spindle in

spindles in the cotton growing states
as in all other states Of the union,

Women In Political Life.
Working women are taking part
in the political life of the country. The
new generation, thru the Communist
Youth Union and Pioneers organiza-

labor unions is unceasing. The Soviets
are becoming the greatest school in
socialist construction. The proletar-

necessary in sufficient quantity for
the building of socialism according to
the directions of Lenin, its leader and
genius of the labor movement.

"But the Soviet Union, surrounded
by capitalist enemies, is being threat
ened by imperialists of all countries.
It's growth frightens them. They see
how pitiably unfounded and ridiculous
are their hopes for the destruction of
the Soviet State. This is the real
