Last of CZarist Rulers

The death of Saturday night of Marie, for
mer empress of Russia, removes from the
earth the last of the former rulers of the
land of Czarism. To be sure there are, in
Paris and other European cities, numerous
claimants to the throne of the Romanoffs,
but there is no living ruler of the former
house
Marie, herself, was of little Importance.
Ignorant, ambitious and vicious, she was en-
press and wife of Alexander LII, himself half
imbecie a victim of every vice known to his
age, a physical giant noted only for his de-
baucheries and his craven cowardice. She
was mother of the last car, Worshipper of
medieval superstition; bloody assassin of
the working class who talked of world peace
between butcheries.
The news of the passing of the old empress
of Russia seems unreal; like something afar;
dim shadow of the past. In her day, in the
land of the former cars the workers and
peasants, for the most part, suffered in
chains and silence. Like all rulers, Marie and
her degenerate spouse believed that their
rule would last forever.
Sporadic outbursts of nihiism were re-
garded only as desperate acts of despair.
But during the darkest days of the night
that some thought would last forever there
was growing up a determined revolutionary
group, under MARKHAM leadership, Party
that scorned the futility of nihilism, that re-
allied that the emancipation of the masses
of workers and peasants must be achieved
by themselves, that understood the rule of a
Communist Party as the vanguard of the
oppressed. With history on it's side>the rev.
olutionists, under the leadership of Lenin,
the greatest revolutionary leader of all time,
forged the thunderbolts that finally blasted
the darkness of the land of the and
darkest Russia became Red Russia. Work.
ers and peasants now walk through those
places where once echoed the steps of Marie,
her ancestors and her progeny.
AS Marie and her class thought that their
rule would last forever, so the surviving des-
pots of the earth delude themselves with the
same hope. But the forces that were at work
in the land of the cars are at work in every
country, under the leadership of the Com
munst International, and the time is not far
distant when Communist journalists will
record the passing of the very last survivor
of the present ruling class of the world.

Against the Capitalists!

throughout the world, we can perceive some
thing of the terrific momentum with which
American imperialism is travelling toward a
new world war
1t is the knowledge that our Party, the
Workers Communist Party, is the one i'm
placable force that is organizing for fight
to the finish against the system that pro-
duces such wholesale humiliation of peoples
that keeps the ruling class on the watch for
every opportunity to deliver smashing blows
at our Party. And in this particular case,
the realization that the Workers (Commu-
nist) Party can and will cease to be con-
fined to restricted section of the country
and will push its way into the backward south
reservoir of cheapest labor, and will arouse
the slaves there-it is this that has caused
this wave of fury at the present time.
To the extent that the day draws nearer
when the last card in the game of diplomatic
intrigue has been played, to that degree will
the reaction unleash more ruthless and
frightful forces against the working class of
the United States This brings us face to
face with the immediate problems of organ
izing everywhere Workers Defense Corps
that will have for their immediate purpose
the defense of working class meetings, speak
ers and headquarters.

time is passive, to say the least.
They still hold fast to the idea that
they enjoy better economic condi-
lions than the rest of the workers.
Terrorized by the machine, the ma
jority of the hard coal miners are
inactive, discouraged, fail to attend
union meetings, and have pract; lily
lost all hope in the union, in all
unionism.
Struggles Ahead.
This passivity, which gives to the
machine and the operators a free
hand, is bound to disappear with the
worsening of the conditions; there
is taking place slow but steady
attack which is becoming more and
more open since the sell-out of the
bituminous strike. Wage cuts are
taking place, special rates for "bad'
coal are not paid, consideration work
is more and more ignored; there is
slash in rates here and there,
even the most backward miner will
be forced to realize that he must
fight. There will be more mill
fancy, greater attendance at local
meetings, and an open fight against
the machine.
In some instances, we have indi-
cations of this leftward trend. 1t
is not very open as yet, not even
a conscious movement, but as time
goes on, as the temporary prosper

appears, the miners will fight more
and more openly. And in this fight
they will realize that the United
Mine Workers is the company's
union. Thereafter they will follow

This button has central design OF
a red flag bearing the inscription

Scores of thousands of these but

out the country and will be worn by
workers at demonstrations on the

The letter is read. The figures of
