NEW METHOD FOR

 Forecasts Possible

Washington, May o5. Rp-A new method of predicting weather changes for a week in advance. with an expectancy of accuracy al- most as great as that for the daily forecasts. has been worked out by C. l.. Mitchell, district forecaster oi the Weather Bureau.
 He has used it in his official weekly forecasts for the Washing ton district. which includes the eastern section of the country, only a few weeks, but back of this lies a long period Of study and "prac- tice forecastins" to get at the prin- ciples Of observation and analysis involved and straighten out any pronounced kinks in the system.
 The accuracy score of 46 of these practice forecasts was considerably higher than that of the official

 Hotel space will be allocated to those who will attend the conyen- ,ion in an official capacity and to certain other distinguished guests" he says. "Others who come a.. mere oniookers will be taken care of by the housing committee, which will find comfortable accomm oda- tions in apartment buildings, room- ing houses and private homes.'
 Miller already has received re- quests for more than 5000 rooms. 1000 more. He still has available 2.3oo rooms in first class hotels and at least as many more in smaller hotels, most of which are new build . .nss. No hotel will be permitted to increase its rates. he says. but the capacity rate for each room will be charged and guests will be re- quired to pay approximately.
 Every visitor assigned to a ho- tel will be given a picture Of down. town Houst on from the air with a map so keyed that stranger will readily find his way about the city.
 An index of official visitors will bs prepared by the housing com mittee, with hotel address and tele- phone number quickly available.

and that is that despite unemploy-

workers are beginning to fight
back. Spontaneous movements are
taking place. Some of these move

In any case, Communists must be
alert: spontaneous movements have
their advantages and drawbacks.
Spontaneous movements may be led
by agents provocateurs. They may
be inspired by honest men with
honest motives. Spontaneous move
ments, without any organization, are
not the best of movements. But
out of these movements, if the Com
munists are on the job, widespread
movements may develop. This is
the period of restlessness on the part
of the workers. Miners, textile work
ers, needle trades workers, steel
workers, railroaders. The next few

The Communist Party On the
Ballot In Bloody Pennsylvania

The "Ruhr" coal and iron region of
Germany is famous the world over, ootn
in labor history and in the intrigues OF
diplomats and the strategy of field mar
shalls. But it might not be too much to say
that PENNSYLVANIA is as significant to the
economy of the United States Of America
and to the labor history of this country-as
the ''Ruhr" is to all of Europe.
There are vast differences. From the
point of view of labor history we do not
forget that the American working class has
not had the same experiences as the brave
German workers of the "Ruhr" But those
whJA know the long history of the workers
of the mine fields of Pennsylvania Will look
to Pennsylvania for some of the most glorious
achievements of the working class in the
coming years. Pennsylvania is 'the CUTS of
American industry in at least as real sense
as any other section that could be named.
The vast mass of workers in the basic indus
tries of iron, steel and coal can truly be call
ed the flower of the working class of Amer
lea.
But for the very same reasons the
capitalist lords Of the United States have al
ways used the greatest precautions, the most
ingenious devices and the most ruthless
methods to make a vast prison stockade OF
the steel-mill towns and mining camps. In
this they have not been unsuccessful.
Pittsburgh is VIGOROUSLY city of blood
and-iron police methods directed against
the working class And if the police
department of that city can be regarded as
a sort of a collective Harry Thaw on a ramp
age against everything that seemed to lead
even in the direction of free expression from
the masses, so also the trade union bureau
cracy has long been best symbolized as that
police departments little Evelyn.
Yet underneath the heartless official sur
face of the state of the coal and iron cossacks
and the Grass culture of the foulest type
of America bourgeoisie exemplified by the
Mellon family, there has always been present
the fiery heart of the best that the American
proletariat can show in men and women.
1t is significant that in the Daily Worker
today appear two news dispatches from the
state of Pennsylvania. The Workers Com
munist) Party-the American section of the
Communist international, the revolutionary
party of the American working class-will
be on the ballot this year in Pennsylvania.
This is one of the news items. 1t is big
one It means better opportunity for the
working class of Pennsylvania to mobilize it.

spirit, their real meaning. These
songs means everything to u.s."
And he leads off on another.
Suddenly he breaks off the song.
We are drawing near to some con-
crete pillars projecting out of the
Dneipr. He points to them def
antly and says,
"Do you see those pillars? 1t is

same abandonment with which he

of the many young workers and

Red Army. Only one of the many

self train itself, school itself in political
questions so as to raise to a higher stage It's
class consciousness for the struggle towards
the victory which will crown all it's many
years of struggle. Voting will not displace
the cossacks, will not change the state power
of the coal and steel barons into an instru-
ment for the benefit of the working Glass;
but the use of the election campaign in
revolutionary manner by the working class
party which has no illusions of capitalist
democracy, can bring to the workers OF
Pennsylvania an advantage in all their strug-
giles. Is it an accident that the candidate
heading the Communist national ticket as the
red nominee for president and the candidate
that heads the state ticket for United States
senator, are respectively, the leader who
organized the huge struggle of the Great
Steel Strike, and a veteran steel worker who
was associated with him in that struggle?
The workers of Pennsylvania know that 1t
is not accidental They know this because
the Workers (Communis) Party has been
their one true, tireless leader throughout the
terrific coal strike through which they have
Just gone, only to see their former union
wrecked by the enemies of themselves and
the Communists. 1t is no accident that the
DAVIS news of success in the campaign to get
on the ballot tells us that the coal miners
were chiefly those who put through the
successful campaign to get the national
ticket headed by Foster and Gitlow and the
state ticket headed by the steel worker Will
liam ]. White, on the Pennsylvania ballot.
The other news item tells of the granting
of the first charter for a local of the new
Miners Union. This also is momentous news.
The great National Convention of the coal
miners for the founding of the new national
union to take the place of the now dead
United Mine Workers, destroyed by John L.
Lewis and his fellow servants of the capitalist
class,-this great convention is now but a
few days away. It will begin on September
g. 1t will be one Of the most important
events in all of the history of the American
working class. There is nothing surprising
that the new Union that is being born is a
result of the struggle between the militant
coal miners and the Communists, against the
traitor Lewis, member of the same republican
party which is bossed by Mellon, the arch
type of the scab coal mine owner.
The whole working class of Pennsylvania
has new opportunities to learn that the class
struggle is a political struggle, that the picket
line meets the state power of the bosses as
its greatest and decisive enemy.
Congratulate the workers of Pennsylvania
and put the Communist ticket on the bal
lot in many more states
