WASHINGTON. Nov. 29.---Coal
miners in Soviet Russia are not fac
ing a winter of starvation, eviction,
intimidation and death at the hands of
company gunner, as are the coal
miners in America, William Vein
stone, organizer for the Workers
Party, told an enthusiastic crowd
which gathered to celebrate, just
across the street from the British
embassy, the 10th anniversary Of the
Russian social revolution.
Weinstone visited the Soviet Union
during the past summer and spoke
enthusiastically of the present and fu-
ture of the workers republic. The
Soviets have proved to a doubling and
hostile world, he said, that workers
can administer government and or
gained industry and make both serve
the common welfare. Never in human
history, he declared, has any country
known so vast an extension of true
democracy as the revolution has
brought to Russia. True democracy,
he said, meant equality of opportun-
ity and of rights for the masses, not
the fortunate upper class. Today in
the Soviet Union hodcarriers become
government officials, blacksmiths
have become red commanders, and
printers have become diplomats in the
service of the workers state. The
streets the workers walk along are

Probability that the senate will not
only adopt the Walsh resolution for
investigation into the watered securi-
ties and the service rates of the cleo

Norris demand for investigation of
the power trust lobby, has thrown the
power companies spokesman IN W9e

Der. Norris is chairman of the Judi
ciary committee, upon whose favor
able report the special committee will
be authorized by the senate.
The Bourbon democrats have ex-
pected to support the Walsh resolu-
ton in the hope of producing ammu-
milton for their party's campaign next
year, while anxious that no real harm
be done the power combine. However,
there was a chance that, after author
izing Walsh to investigate the power
trust, the Bourbons and the Old Guard
republicans could keep him busy with
small details until he would tire at
the job.
To Color News.
Sensing the peril to it's entrenched
position in Washington, the trust
lobby is preparing to assist" the
press correspondents to report any
hearings. 1t will have well-paid news
paper men present at all sessions, to
prepare material which can be had by
correspondents who are busy else
where. In this way many newspapers
will be induced to print accounts of
the inquiry which are manufactured
by and for the power trust lobby.
Yet in spite of all that the power
combine may do inquiry is going to
drive forward in America the move
ment for naturalization of power,
and to raise again the issue of ma
tionalization of the fuel industry as
well. If carried through, it will shake
to their foundations the public utility
combines and their company unions,
their political departments and their
pretensions of fair dealing with the
consumer.

House members today declared that
they would make a fight to place a
permanent limit of 435 upon the mem

The proposal will beineorporated

chairman of the House census COM
mittee, and Rep, Mcleod; (R) of
Michigan.
The Fem and Mcleod bills will
seek. to accomplish substantially the
same result by different means. Both
would provide for reapportionnlent of
the House memberships by the secre-
tarys of commerce after each new CEN
sus. Congress now< does this, but the
secretary of commerce represents
more directly the big business inter-
ests, has no constituency to worry
about, and is therefore more effective.

Workers Own 1t.

The opening of the store, however,
is assured thru subscription Of shares
and numerous loans from members
who better appreciate the need for CO.
operation, to mobilize the purchasing
power of the workers for their own
interests and as a method of gaining
contact with the workers.
The Workers Cooperative Associ-
alton intends to extend its operation
to many parts of the city which will
not be served by reason of distance by
this first store. The rapidity with
which it can branch out, and the
measure of saving and service it can
render the workers depends entirely
on how well the progressive elements
of the working class mobilize them
selves and their neighbors to patron
ize the store.
Invited to Opening.
The Cooperative is propagandizing
thru all mediums, including leaflet
distribution in the neighborhood and
poster display in all the halls.
Every class conscious worker
should be present at the opening of
the store. The cooperative is rapidly
becoming one of the main fronts in
the fight against the profit system.
The store will handle only the best
quality meats and other foodstuffs
and will retail the famous co-opera-
lively produced Land O'Lakes" but
ter. Many varieties of cured fish
from the Cooperative fisheries of
Astoria, Oregon and other imported
brands will be specialized in.
The store once visited, will prove
an attraction itself.
