The authoritative character of this voice

another by an assistant chief of ordnance of

weight to its acknowledgment that the Com

majorities and we know how they
have done things in the past, and
even in the recent past, with the
referendum vote to put over the re-
duction of wages, so we can expect
to hear soon that the elections have
been stolen again in Illinois.
In the Pittsburgh district there
was no election because Pagan and
his gang were also unopposed. Of
course opposition here was impos-
sible because there is no more U. M.
w. A. in the Pittsburgh district than
there is Knights of Labor, but ru-
NOR has it that q very heavy vote
was cast for the International Of
ficials in the district, but this is
to leave the impression that there is
still large membership in the dis
trict but there isn't.
Alex Howat Back in U.M.W.A.
In Kansas there is different pic
ture than prevails elsewhere, for tn
erstwhile Howat has been reinstatet

the right to enter Canada while on
tour with the writer, framed up
by character assassins working for
Lewis, and now, when all the fight
ers have been kicked out of the
U. M. W. A. he has been rein
stated.
That he has been reinstated be-
cause of change of heart by Lewis,
not even Howat himself can believe,
but there must be motive for the
act and | am of the opinion that
Howat cannot see that far ahead.
He was nominated by a majority
of the local unions in Kansas, but
the same has been true in other
elections ever since he was expelled
and each time he was ruled off the
ballot.
This time however, he has been
visited by John P. White, ex-na-
tional president Of the U. M. w. A.,
ex-labor adviser to the governments

later scab rubber manufacturer
and now special representative of

''The fact that the reelection
of President Lewis was by unani-
nous vote is a demonstration of
the confidence which the member
ship has in his leadership.
"This is the first time in more
than twenty years that a presi-
dent of the United Mine Workers
of America has been reelected
without opposition.
The above remarks were spewed
from the mouth of Ellis Searles,
editor of Lewis private mouthpiece,
to the capitalist press a few days
ago. Little does the public" know
of the true state of things, however,
that is responsible for such state
ments being issued. Neither are they
aware that men of the type of Lewis
and his "Man-Friday" (Searles)
have an Astounding faith in the gull
libility of the headline reading pub
lie" and because of this, these takers
get away with all kinds of political
trickery, for statements to the press
such as the one above can only be

diency.

answer him except to say that there
are still a number of takers who
are yet on the payroll and who will
remain there as long as there is any
money to divide, and that each one
of these has proved in the past to
be quite capable of casting one vote
for each pound of flesh he carries,

Therefore, the primary duty Of
the proletariat, as the fighter for

sary political, economic and military
preparations for these wars, to
strengthen it's Red Army-that
mighty weapon of the proletariat-
and to train the masses of the toll

forces of United States imperialism.

stupid and misleading title Fruits of

8. The ProIetarian Civil War
Against the Bourgeoisie.

"a. The imperialist war of 1914
1928 was, in number of countries
in Eastern and Central Europe,
transformed into civil war, which,
in Russia, ended in the victory of
the proletariat. The lessons of the
October Revolution are of para
mount Importance in determining
the attitude of the proletariat to-
wards war.
They show: y that in their i'm
perialist wars the bourgeoisie must
place weapons in the hands of the
workers, but that in critical mill
tary situations, defeats, etc., they
lost command over the mass armies;
p that real and sustained strug-
gle against this war implies that
work must be carried on to revolu-
tionize the masses of the soldiers,
i.e., work in preparation for civil
war, and 81 that the ground fol-
civil war must be thoroughly pre-
pared by the proletariat and the
Par.
Civil War in Peace. fine Also.
The civil wars in Germany in 1920
and 1928, in Bulgaria in 1928, in Es-
thonia in 1924, and in Vienna in
July 1927, prove that proletarian
civil war may not only break out
in times of bourgeois imperialist
wars, but also in the present "nor-
nal conditions" of capitalism; fol-
present-day capitalism intensifies
the class struggle to an acute de-
gree and at any moment may create
an immediate revolutionary situa-
ton. The proletarian uprisings in
Shanghai in March 1927 and in Can
ton in December 1927 contained i'm
portant lessons for the proletariat
especially in the nationally oppressed
colonial and semi-colonial countries
Events in Shanghai particularly
show how proletarian uprisings car
be utilized as weapon in a ma.
+ional war against imperialism and
S lackeys.
Lessons of Civil War.
All this makes it incumbent upor
re Communists, primarily in con.
ection with struggle against i'm
erialist and counter-revolutionary
-ars, to put the question of probe
lrian civil war openly to the masses
ID to study the lessons of the
oven; antioned uprisings.
25. These Lessons are:
az In regard to the necessary
conditions precedent for rebellion
A revolutionary situation must pre-,
vail, i.e., the ruling class must be ii
state of crisis, for example, as the
result of military defeat. This mis-.
cry and oppression of the masses
must be intensified to an extraordin.
airy degree, and the masses must be
active and ready to overthrow the
government by revolutionary mass
action. A tried and tested Commu-
mist Party, having influence over the
decisive masses of the proletariat
must exist.
Preparing for Rebellion.
b. In regard to the preparations
for rebellion. The rebellion cannot
be based solely on the 2, ty; i
must be based upon the broad
masses of the working class. Of de
cisive Importance is the prepare
tory work in the pro,etarian mas:
organizations, particularly in thc
trade unions; to secure their active
participation in the work of pre-
pairing for the rebellion, and the ere
alton of special organizations for re-
bellion, which shall unite the masses

LEWIS IS REELECTED "UNANIMOUSI w

rupt and crooked as Lewis himself
in the eyes of the vast army of
miners in the United States. This
opposition was John H. Walker,
president of the Illinois State Fed
Grafton of Labor, a former official
of District II, U. NJ. W. A., and
and aspirant to the office of Inter-
national President of the union be-
fore Lewis was even known outside
of his own balliwick and only known
there for the reactionary tenden-
cies which now are his chief stock
in trade.
For this election, in which Lewis
was elected unanimously" Walker
announced his candidacy and was
nominated, but was ruled off the
ballot by Lewis, because "he was
not employed at the trade" Walker,
if the laws of takers mean anything
even among themselves, has as
much of right to become president
of the U. M. w. A., as Lewis has
to remain so, because he is as much
of miner CD as Lewis is, prizes
his membership in the U. M. w. A..
as much as Lewis does, and because
of that pays his dues into it as reg
ularly as Lewis does and last, but
not least, he is as capable of as
much reaction and corruption in or
ganizational. matters as is the in
cumbent president, John l.. Lewis.
Yet, in spite of the aforementioned
qualifications, Walker was ruled off
the ballot, Lewis was unopposed and,
with the able assistance of his army
Of organizers, "John L." was elected
unanimously.
District Elections
In the various districts consider
able opposition shows itself, but no
hope is held out for the miners even
if every one of the opponents are
elected. From reports coming in to
the office of the National Miners
Union, the opposition generally con-
sists of the office seeking variety
who, if elected to office, would be as
bad as the gang they are to replace,
or they are the weak element that
believes the U. M. W. of A. needs
only to wash its face and then every
thing would be hunky-dory.
They seem to forget that the old
union has changed from the secret
variety into the open-faced kind of
company union with the bosses ex-
ercising more and more control as
the days go by.
We have district elections being
cotentested. In Illinois, the so-called
opposition is claiming the complete
rout of the Fishwick machine, while
