bastille where he had lodged the
operators gunner.
At least this is what the coal
operators would like to have their
public believe. And far be it from
this writer to take whatever credit
that may be coming to Mr.. O'Rourke
away from him. Indeed, he will
vouch for the fact that it happened
once or twice, either accidentally or
with generalization to boot, that the
embarrassing and much-arrested
squire having deposited his catch in
the "can" was not available to accept
bail for the coal and iron policemen,
much to the chagrin of the Pitts
burgh Terminal Coal Corporation.
Mr.. O'Rourke's unavailability on one
occasion caused the yellow dogs" to
spend dreary weekend in Pitts
burgh jail, tho Terminal Company
money was at hand for their release.
O'Rourke's latest exploit was to ar
rest two Pittsburgh Terminal Com
pany strikebreakers and securing a
confession from them that they were
given money by Terminal "yellow
dogs" to shoot up the union miners
barracks. The coal barons insist
that O'Rourke third-degreed t h e
scabs, an allegation that is indig-
nantly denied by the squire.

AT least ten million Negroes hav,
been excluded from political and So
cial rights. The great migration and
industrialization of these Negro
masses further robs the bourgeoisie
of tremendous reserve force of So
cial reaction.
"The class struggle in the United
States is today at turning point
The period of retreat we are leaving
behind US. A period of sharp fights
is ahead of US. The intensifying con-
tradictions of American capitalism
are opening up new vistas of strug-
gle for us. The sharpening Of Amer
lean imperialist policy and its result
ing attacks on the trade unions and
the working and living standards
will arouse more proletarian opposi-
ton to capitalist reaction.
"The Party must respond to this
situation. The Party must lead the
workers in block with the exploited
farmers in these struggles. The
course of the fight will depend, to
a large degree, on the leadership Of
the militant workers guided and in
spired by our Party. In alliance with
all genuine progressive elements we
must turn full face to the main body
of our working class--the most ex-
plotted, the most proletarian section.
Our Party must direct its major at
tcntion to the millions Of unskilled
and semi-skilled, the unorganized,
the bulk of the working class. Thus,
never before was our work in the
existing trade unions more the basic
work Of the Party. This is closely
related to our work in organizing

CHICAGO, Feb. 16.-Unemploy-
ment, the most severe in years, is the
picture presented by the employment
report of the Illinois Department of
Labor for January. The department
tries to be hopeful on the ground that
the condition is only temporary but
each years seasonal drop carries the
employment level lower than the last.
The lost ground is never completely
recovered.
Factory employment in Illinois, ac-
cording to the reporting, declined 2.1%
between December and January. This
drop carried employment below any
level since the war January employ
ment was go under January 1927 and

LEGION SQUIRMS
OUT OF DEBATE
ON NICARAGUA
Young Workers League
Issued Challenge

WARREN, O., Feb. 16.-The Young
Workers (Communist) League OF
Warren has just received note from
the American Legion of that city in
forming them that all plans for the
debate between them on Resolved:
That the United States must with
draw all troops from Nicaragua" have
been cancelled. The challenge for de-
bate, which was scheduled for Sun
day, Feb 26, was given by the League
and willingly accepted by the Legion.
Tuesday, however, the American
Legion called an unexplained patrio-
tic mass meeting at which there were
representatives from such organize
lions as the Kiwanis, the Rotary Club,
the Moose and the Elks. The princi-
pal speaker of the evening was Sam
Cole, city clerk of Akron, O., an anti
Red specialist" At this time it was
decided to call off the debate.
The Young Workers League is pro-
ceeding with its work, however. Leaf
lets are being issued exposing the
American Legion and pointing out
that the only reason for the with
drawal must have been the fear to
show their true anti-labor militarist
face SO openly.
At the same time the children of
Warren are also being organized in
the Young Pioneers of America to
fight such 100 per cent American
ism" as that proposed by the Legion.
