When the Irish visitor was being

Lenin, ,meMountain Eagle

said at that time: "The logic of Len
ms speeches is like mighty tentacle,
which seizes you from all sides with
pincers, and from the embrace of
which it is impossible to extricate
yourself; either you surrender or re-
sign yourself to complete ruin"
l believe that this popularity in
the speeches of Lenin is the strongest
characteristic of his oratorical art.
No Wimperingl
THE second time met Lenin was in
1906 at the Stockholm Congress of
our party.
Every one knows that at this con-
gress the Bolsheviks remained in the
minority, suffered a defeat.
That was the first time l saw Lenin
in the role of the vanquished. Not by
one iota did he resemble other leaders
who whimper and become detected
after a defeat. On the contrary, this
defeat transformed him into a con-
densed bit of energy, filling his sup
porters with inspiration for fresh
struggles, for future victory.
| speak of Lenin's defeat. But what
was this defeat? We need only OBJ
serve Lenn's opponents, the victors
at the Stockholm Congress-Plek-
hanov, Axelrod, Martov and others;
they were little like actual victors, for
Lenin, in his unsparing criticism of
Menshevism, beat them to a pulp. l
remember how we Bolshevik dele
gates, huddled together, looked toward
Lenin, asking his advice. The talk of
some of the delegates betrayed weari-
ness and detection. l remember how
Lenin, in answer to such talk, caus-
tically said through his teeth:
Don't whimper, comrades; we are
certain of winning, for we are right"
Detestation of the whimpering in
tellectuals, faith in his own strength,
faith in victory-that is what Lenin
spokeeabout with us. We felt then
that the defeat of the Bolsheviks was
only temporary and that the Bolshe-
WINS were UOuIlu 10 VIII III Cne near
future.
Don't whimper in case of defeat"
this is the characteristic in the ac-
tivity of Lenin which helped him to
rally round himself an army, devoted
to the end, and confident in it's
strength.
No Haughtiness!
At the next congress in 1907, in
"A London, the Bolsheviki became
the victors. That is the first time
saw Lenin in the role of the victor.
Usually victory turns the heads of
other leaders, and makes them AFRO
giant and naughty. Most often in such
cases, they begin to celebrate the VIC
tory, to rest on their laurels. But not
by one iota did Lenin resemble such
leaders. On the contrary, just after
the victory, he became especially
vigilant and alert. I remember how

CORRUPTION OF
Bull DING UNION
LEADERS EXPOSED
Bricklayers' Officials
Betray Workers

Complete exposure of the graft, ex-
tortion, dual unionism and other cor
ruption with which the building trades
union officialdom is infected was
made public, by Patrick MeNich-
olas, president Of Local 33, Interna-
tional Hod Carriers, Building and
Common Laborers of America, testify
ing before the Industrial Survey Com
mission in an interlude between other
testimony on an in. unction bill.
McNicholas, who for over Is years
has been fighting the labor bureau
cracy in various unions in the city
and who for the last four years has
made an unsuccessful attempt to Sc
cure action from the American Fed
Grafton of Labor, was finally forced,
he stated yesterday, to appeal to the
Industrial Survey Commission, al
though he expects to receive very
little justice there, he admitted.
100 Cases Known.
Graft and corruption is prevalent
among practically all the officials and
business agents in the building trades,
McNicholas testified, but this is es-
pecially true of the bricklayers and
plasterers.
Hundreds of cases may be discov-
ered," McNicholas charged, "if this
commission will investigate the mat
ter.
christian Norman, chairman of the
board of governors of the Master
Builders Association, whom l ac-
cused of dealing with crooks and
scabs, admitted to me that in the
Bronx, Queens and in Brooklyn, thru
the agency of the union officials, the
building trades workers are employed
below the union scale. Norman also
stated to me that some of these Of
ficials were getting checks from
builders to maintain these non-union
conditions.
II have written to William Green,
president of the American Fedora
tion of Labor, complaining of these
conditions and of many others but
he has failed to act. Other union lead
ers of this city have likewise sabo-
tagged all my attempts to get justice.

flames, according to the custom of
the underground workers.
From that time began my acquaint-
ance with Lenin.
Lenin's Simplicity.
I MET Lenin for the first time in De-
! cember, 1905, at the conference of
the Bolsheviks at Tammerfors Tin
Finland). hoped to see the mountain
eagle of our Party, that great man,
great not only politically, but also, if
you like, physically, for Lenin pre-
sented himself in my fancy in the
form of a giant, stately and imposing.
What then was my disappointment
when l saw nothing but an ordinary
man, smaller than the average in
height, differing in no way, literally
in no way, from ordinary mortals. -.
1t is taken for granted that a
great man" usually must come late
at meetings in order that the mem
bers may await his arrival with pal
pitating hearts, and just before his
appearance warningly m mur ::
"Sh-h! (. quiet -. he is COM
ing" What then was my disappoint-
ment when | discovered that Lenin
had come to the meetings before the
delegates, and, skulking somewhere in
a corner, was carrying on conversa-
tion, the most ordinary conversation
with the most ordinary delegates to
the conference! l cannot deny that
this seemed to me somewhat of an in
fringement of necessary rules.
Only afterwards I understood that
this simplicity and modesty of Len
in, this striving to remain unnoticed,
or, at any rate, not to become con-
spicuous and not to emphasize his
high position-that this is one of the
strongest traits of Lenin, the new
leader of the new masses, the simple
and ordinary masses of the deepest
depths of humanity.
His Logic.
TWO speeches of Lenin at that con-
ference were remarkable-on cur
rent events and on the agrarian ques-
tion. Unfortunately they have not
been preserved. They were inspiring
speeches, arousing the stormy en-
thusiasm of the whole conference.
The usual strength of conviction, the
simplicity and clearness of the ar
gumentation, the short phrases, un-
derstandable by all, the absence of
posing, the absent of fancy gestures
and phrases for effect, for making an
impression--all this distinguished the
speeches of Lenin from those of the
ordinary "pariiamentarian" orators.
But at that time it was not that
characteristic Of Lenin's speeches
which charmed me. What charmed
me then was that irresistible strength
of logic in Lenin's speeches which, a
little coldly but thoroughly, takes pos
session of the audience, gradually
electrifies it and then takes it, SO to
speak, completely prisoner. / re-
member what many of the delegates

Sheriff Hardesty declared he feared

''Unless we have a much larger

By JOSEPH STAIN.

(This incisive characterization of
Lenin is chapter from Stalin's
Theory and Practice of Leninism'
accidentally omitted from the English
translation. 1t is published for the
first time in this country.)
T FIRST became acquainted
i with Lenin in 1908. This ac-
quaintance, it is true, was not
personal but developed by means
of letters. But it left an indel-
ible impression on me which has
not left me during the whole
period of my work in the party.
was at that time an exile in
Siberia. My acquaintance with
Lenin's revolutionary activity
from the nineties and especially
after 1901, after "Iskra" began to De
issued, led me to the conviction that
we had in his person an unusual man.
In my eyes at that time he was not
simply the leader of the parry; he
was in fact its creator, because he
alone understood the inner nature
and the immediate needs of the party.
When / compared with him the other
leaders of our Party, it always seemed
to me that his co-workers--Plek-
hanov, Martov, Axelrod and others
stood lower than Lenin by a whole
head, and that Lenin, in comparison
with them, was not simply one of the
leaders, but a leader of the highest
type, the mountain eagle, knowing no
fear in battle, and boldly leading the
party on along the untried path of
the Russian revolutionary movement.
This impression penetrated so
deepy into my soul that l felt the
necessity of writing about him to
one of my close friends who was at
that time living in emigration, re-
questing his opinion. Within a short
time, being already in exile in Siberia,
that was at the end of 1901 re-
ceived an enthusiastic reply from my
friend, and a letter, simple but pro-
found in content, from Lenin, whom
my friend had evidently made ac-
quainted with my letter. Lenin's note
was comparatively short, but it gave
a bold and fearless criticism of the
activity of our party and a re-
markably clear and concise analysis
of the whole plan Of work of the
party for the next period. Only
Lenin was able to write about such
complicated things in such simple
and clear manner, so concise and so
daring, when every phrase not merely
speaks but shoots. This simple and
bold note strengthened my conviction
still more that we had in the person
of Lenin the mountain eagle of our
party. l cannot forgive myself for
having abandoned this letter of Len
ms, as well as many others, to the

Ave-, where he was employed as a

Yesterday, at the offices of the ALL
America Anti-Imperialist League, of
which Manuel Gomez is U. S. secre-
tary, Sandino told reporters that his
brother was prepared to sacrifice his
life if it would aid in making public
"the crime now being committed
against the Nicaraguan people"
Sandino, who is 20 years old, and
who has been in the United States
for year and half said that when
he was discharged he was told that
it was because of "slack work."

WORKERS ATTACK
TRACTION DELAY

Active preparations are being made
to fight the injunction battle-in the
courts-according to an announce
ment made yesterday by officials of
the Amalgamated traction union
from their headquarters, Hotel Com
tinental, Broadway and 41st.
"We are sure we will win against
the Interborough when the issue is
argued next Monday" was the an
nouncement. The officials refused to
state their position in the event the
issue is decided against them but it
has already been announced that no
action such as strike will be taken.
"We may still ask the company to
arbitrate."

"How many work in the Brooklyn
plant of the Metropolitan Engineering
Co.." he pyas further asked.
"Over 300 men,"
Sandino said that no complaint had
heretofore been made against the
quality of his work or his personality,
and there had been no intimation that
he would be discharged.
Asked whether it is not likely that
the reason for his discharge is to be
found in the fact that he addressed
1000 workers at Irving Plaza last
Sunday, Sandino said he wasn't sure,
but it is possible"
