e., the open application Of dictatorial
power on the part of the capitalist
government.
ENROM the very beginning the situa-
ton was characterized by an I'M
usual intensifcation Of the relations
between the classes. Above all, two
hostile forces, the coal magnates and
the miners, came into collision, &C
cording to the excellent expression of
the Economist, IAN irresistible force

the miners started the general attack
Of the bourgeoisie on the whole trade
union movement rolling.
Finally, one of the, most important
Characteristic peculiarities in the fight
was the circumstance that not such
pronounced right leaders as Hodges
were at the head Of the Miners Fed
GRAFTON, but Herberte Smith and Cook,
who are known as cleft" leaders. Per-
haps no fight has ever led to such i'm
portant economic consequences as the
present fight of the miners. In the
course Of the seven months fight not

the economic side, the strike proved a
very strong weapon and now, when
the struggle is nearing its end, we can
state that the miners we're compelled
to capitulate not SO much by the pres

united trade union has been consid-
erably reduced, thanks to the conclu-
sion of district agreements.
These are facts which no one can
deny, and the reformists are sure to
use them in order to draw the conclu-
sion that it would have been better
not to fight at all. After every defeat
of revolutionary fight the reformists
once more come to Plechanow's conclu-
sion that "it would have been better
not to have taken up arms at ALL"
The reformists, however, are telling
lies The medal has. its reverse side.
The fight of the miners has not been
useless Not only the miners, but the
whole British working class and the
world proletariat will have much to
learn from this fight. The British
working class, which has for decades
been deeply sunk in the slough of OPP
portunism, has now learned from the
experiences. of the general strike and
the miners fight how to fight against
the bourgeoisie. The general strike,
the seven months struggle of the min
ers and the emergency conditions
have greatly altered the British work
ing class. 1t is passing thru deep
reaching process of revolutionization
and many British workers have al
ready found the path leading them to-
wards the Communist Party.
THE British and the international
proletariat have learnt the follow

ences of the miners fight: sm atr

stabilize capitalism inevitably lead to
great mass fights and hasten the over
throw of capitalism @sSa
2. Every important event in the Ia
Dor movement of any country will
now inevitably become an interna-

workers with the background Of dis
migrating capitalism turns into a
political fight. 1t must be carried on
with the application of political
means.
4. The workers cannot be victorious
in great economic fights or in great
political fights as long as the reform
lists are at their head. Only when
they are led by new revolutionary
leaders will they be able to carry
on their struggle for their standard
of living and for political freedom to

Mr.. AswelI Introduces American Fascism

American ourgeois-democratic tradi-
tional phrases to outfit him. This
same section 16 gives the secretary of
labor unlimited authority in drawing
up enforcement regulations. Note
the word: necessary" which is here
to be understood in class-conscious
meaning in the pure interests of the
bosses and not of the foreign-born
workers. Who is to decide what is or
is not necessary" The person who
is to enforce of course! The fact that
this word necessary" is here used
unqualifedly is not either without
meaning or fore-thought.
The following section, IL, even
more strongly reiterates that the Sec
rotary of labor and he alone Is to be
the all powerful dictator over Amer
ica's foreign-born, in that "he is to be
charged with the duty of proper en-
forcement." When an official is
charged" with the duty of proper
enforcement" 1t carries with it the
authority of doing anything and every
thing that will in any way tend to
gain that end, including the right to
enlist the aid of any or all branches
Of government. But Mr. Aswell want
ed to make doubly sure that his die
tator would be armed to the teeth, be-
cause the very next clause gives the
secretary OF labor the right ito
employ such assistance as may

economic boycott of the Worker and

Financial capital can use the danger

all the more effectually the more firm
ly it is welded nationally and interna.
tionally and the more uniformly it is

The fight against the international

against trust capital altogether. The
prerequisites for its success are the
establishment of international trade

trade unions from occupational organ

An international trust of financial
capital has recently been formed. 1t
is under the leadership and admins
tration of American and British large
banks which, as institutes of the ex-
port of capital to Germany, already
play an important part. Ten of the
chief large banks in Europe belong
to the trust OF German banks, the
Dresden bank-which has for a long
time been dependent on American and
British financial capital-has taken
part in its formation.
The original share capital amounts
to IA million dollars 30 million of
first preference shares and 4 million
of second preference shares). To
these must be added ordinary shares
without a nominal value. The amount
of the share capital-withQut the or
binary shares, it is true-is not par
ticularly overwhelming. 1t is, at any
rate, quite out of proportion to the
figures "a milliard) the report Of
which was originally spread when the
project of the trust was made pub
lie.
The activities of the trust are to
consist in granting loans and credits,
but especially in buying securities
(shares). The territory to be exploit
ed is the whole world. 1t is an open
question whether the trust can be
brot into connection with any-at
present very abstract-construct
with regard to reparations and debts
(the mobilization of the German rail
way and industrial debentures). In
my case, the imagination of certain
newspapers which are dependent on
The banks involved, knows no limits.

The function of the trust will in

worth while--stable conditions of cur

Blackbirds Killed by Radio.

Birds have gotten into trouble with
radio on more than one occasion. Some
time ago a New York station started
to cut up and wander off its wave
lengths in a very mysterious manner.
When the trouble was finally located,
it was found due to flock of swallows
having alighted on the antenna.
The scene of blackbird episode was
in Cincinnati, where every autumn
thousands of blackbirds soar south,
crossing into Dixie. Stopping over at
night, the blackbirds descend in clouds
in Eden Park. Recently, covey of
several thousand of these chatterers
started alighting in the park trees
just before dark, and thousands were
still coming when darkness had fallen.
WKRC has two 125-foot towers on the
roof of twelve story hotel across the
street from Eden Park. The black
birds were unable to see the thin an
tenna wires in the dark and numbers
of them dashed into the towers them
selves and fell to the roof with broken
necks and wings.
At midnight the hotel chef reported
to the operating room with flour and
twenty blackbirds baked into a pie"
The station operators are now waiting
for the ducks to fly south.

The older broadcasters in the field
have become worried because of the
wave-jumping antics of numerous
shorter wavelength stations. These
older stations have, by nature of their
pioneering certain right to their
wavelengths which some of the new
er stations have not!
There have been several cases where
stations have threatened legal action
against other stations Interfering on
their air lanes, and at least one in
stance where a station restrain
ed from transmitting by an injunction.
This last occurred in Chicago, shortly
after the Z. S. Attorney General had
declared the ether Free for ALL"
Because their programs were inter-
fered with by another local station,
the Chicago Tribune station, WGN, Sc
cured temporary injunction against
the operation of the station VICES.
Thus it seems that the old 1912 Radio
Laws and the Malicious Interference
clause and penalty, have the teeth to
snap viciously at many of the so-called
wave jumpers, and put them out Of
business-at least so far as their
chosen wave lengths are concerned.
This method of protection from in
reference by wave jumpers may
serve very well to prevent further CON
fusion until some satisfactory legis-
lation may be passed.

have the bare lead-in wire touch the
walls before it reaches the set 2"
Ans.-It is always better to keep
the lead-in wire as far from the walls
as possible.
"a. M. says: Il have been using
an aluminum-lead electrolytic rectifer
with a borax eletrolyte for charging
by storage B batteries. Lately, how
ever, it does not bring the batteries
up to their full voltage and the recti-
fer gets quite hot. What is the cause
of this ?"
Ans.-The aluminium electrode is
probably worn out and should be re-
placed with new one. 1t would be
well to use fresh borax solution also.

New Radio Detector Tube Increases
Sensitivity of Sets.

beHsittNity VI oHtS-
The new Radio CORPORATION alkali
vapor detector tube is designed to
increase the efficiency Of every re-
ceiver using five volt tubes. 1t has done
more to increase the sensitivity of re-
ceiving sets than any radio tube devel-
opment in recent years. Type UX 200
A, specially made for service only as
a detector tube, can be installed inn
mediately in the detector socket of
any receiver using storage battery
tubes without any change in receiver
design or without the addition Of any
apparatus.
In sensitivity this new alkali vapor
tube excells the best obtainable of type
UX 200, even when the UX 200 was
operating with plate and filament volt
age most critically adjusted. When
using the UX 200A, delicate and crit
ical adjustments are unnecessary, as
the tube attains high efficiency at
any plate voltage between 22.5 and As
volts. The recommended plate volt
age is As. The filament is of thor
lated tungsten, and consumes but one
quarter ampere at five volts.
