DURING the last eight weeks I
have been in more than 20 of
the leading industrial centers of
the United States. Though these
centers are many miles apart and
though there are some differences
in detail, the general economic pic
ture they present is startlingly
uniform.
Machines are replacing men. In
the steel centers, the rubber CEN
tiers, the automobile centers, the
textile centers, the story is the
same. Enormous capital OUTLAWS
are being made for labor saving
devices; these labor saving de-
vices increased productive power;
industries, thus equipped, are able
to turn out more product with less
men.
Many factories are working
part-time. This is particularly
true Of the textile, boot and shoe,
and clothing industries. The soft
coal mines are passing through a
12-month strike---one of the Bit
terest in the history of the min
ing industry. Employment is bet
ter in the automobile and rubber
industries, but even in theses CEN

days of war-profiteering were
they so rich.
THIS pictures an essentially I'M
healthy situation. Until 1927
the United States lived on the tail
end of the war boom-long after
it had pctered out in other coun-
tries. Now the end has come.
In 1928 American economy is
fast getting back to capitalist
normally. Huge profits for Big
business. Extravagant expendi-
lures for the owning class and
high salaried officials and pro-
fessionals. Intensified exploita-

unemployment and poverty hang

Greetings to the
Workers IN US.

Especial TO The Daily Worker)
MOSCOW, April 30.-May Day
Greetings to the members of the
Workers (Communist) Party of
America and through them to the
American working class were today
sent by ]. Louis Engdahl of the Ex-
ecutive Committee of the Communist
international and former editor of
The DAILY WORKER.
The message follows:
Historic May Day
MAY Day this year, celebrated
ten years after the first May Day
of the Soviet Union, calls the work
ers of America to greater revolu-
tionary struggles. The workers of
Europe are watching keenly the
news of the historic advances
towards class consciousness on the
part of the toilers in the American
mining and textile industries and
the energetic preparations by the
American Communist Party for this
years national elections.
New Forces Awakening
New forces are thus awakening
to join the struggles against the
war danger threatening the Soviet
Union, developing strength in aid Of
the Chinese Revolution and the
Latin-American and Nicaraguan re-
sistance to American Imperialism.

PRODUCTION COST

Percentage of Deaths
Increasing
BY LELAND OLDS.
Federated Press.l

PITTSBURGH, April 30.-The
demand Of profit-seeking coal oper-
ators for greater productivity and
lower costs may have cut the num-
Der Of miners killed per 100000
tons mined, but in recent years it
has certainly increased the number
killed per 100000 miners employed.
This is the testimony of a bulletin
on coal mine fatalities issued by the
United States bureau Of mines. Al
though the bulletin states that "the
coal that was mined during 1926
cost less in human life than in any
previous year except 1928, 1920 and
1916" it also shows more miners
killed per 100000 employed.
In 1926, according to the bulletin,
2,514 men were killed in anthracite
and bituminous mining. This COM
pares with 1924 killed in 1925, 2,402
in 1924 and 2,462 in 1928. 1t is
necessary to go back to the average
for the years 1911-1915 to find a
figure as high as 1926.
BltumlnOuS WORSE
The 1925 figure means / miner
killed for every 263,943 tons of coal
mined or 3.79 miners killed for every
million tons mined, compared with
3.84 in 1925. 1t also means 339 min
ers killed out fevery 100000 en-
ployed during the year, compared
with 29S deaths in 1925. This is an
increase of 1875 per cent in miners
killed per 100000 employed.
Conditions in the anthracite were
entirely responsible for the slight
reduction in killed per million tons
mined. In the bituminous mines,
the basis of industrial power, all
the 1926 figures show a trend for
the worse. There were more work
ers killed per 100000 employed and
per million tons mined in the btu
minous industry in 1926 than in
1925.

the number of miners killed per

Role of Reformists
"Reforruists of all shades and in
all countries are playing a despica-

r1ission is to serve the cause of the
bourgeoisie under the cloak of
cheap phrases about socialism,

"When capitalism is attacking the

who calls himself a proletarian in
ternationalist to concern himself
with the protection of home in

to be obtained only by the sacri-
flee of the class interests of the
proletariat? The Communist In

revolutionary proletarian interna-

that real emancipation from the
yoke of capitalism, a real social

masses of workers understand the
receptions of the reformists and
drive out from their midst the So
cialist' flunkeys of imperialism who
are exerting every effort to harness
the workers to the chariot of capt.
