the agricultural population, among
whom are large masses of native as

In New York, Boston, Chicago,

we have met the socialist bureaucracy

their former followers on the true

We now face the tremendous prob
lem of crystallizing the vast senti-

The Communist Commissars forged
the Red Army by their heroism and
with their blood, they transformed it
into granite against which the forces
of the counter-revolution were smash
ed. The Party lost 49,510 of it's best

The civil war ended and the Party
took up and solved the task of plac-
ing the Red Army on a peace foot
ing, reducing it's numbers from S.
100000 to $4,000.
The XI Party Congress took up the
question of introducing the militia
system into the Red Army, pointing
out that the Soviet militia system
must consist in establishing close con-
tact between the army and the pro-
cess of production so that the living
human elements of certain economic
districts should at the same time be
living human energy of the given
military sections.

able advantage over European COM

ket." Till the present time the avi-
alton industry wasn't paying propo-
sition, the majority of airplane fac
tories are running at loss. In it's
air mail service the government lost
$1,000. There are two main reasons
for this situation First: commercial
aviation is undeveloped yet in this
country. We have only 5000 miles of
air routes. Secondly, aviation, be-
cause of the many accidents, is not
so popular with the masses. Thirty
out of the. fifty leading life insur-
ance companies in the U. S. and Ca
NADIA will not consider an applicant
for life insurance who either travels
by air as a passenger or is identified
with the industry. The aviation in
terests in this country were there
fore looking for some factor which
would stimulate aviation, and Lind
bergh was one of the best means used
for this purpose.

wave of economic depression carry

auctions, and fresh miseries for the

power the octopus of American i'm

1t is our duty as well as our oppor-
tunity to rally the masses Of the dis
illusioned together with those who
have been lately won to our standard
and to show them their might when
united. The best avenue for this pur-
pose lies in the election campaign,
which is highly dramatic and will help
to gain attention.
Let us now get together to put
across the campaign of the Party to
establish itself as the recognized
leader of all sections of militant
workers and as the center of their re-
sistance. The burden of financial
support has been heavy upon each in
dividual, and in this campaign we can
expect it to fall heavier than ever be-
fore, because we are still so few in
numbers. Still we can confidently

Throughout the period of its devel-
opment, the Bolshevik Party paid eX-
clusively great attention to the mill
tary organization of the working
class. The Party many a time laid
stress through Lenin on the fact that
the great historical problems can be
solved only by force and that the or
ganization of force during the present
struggle is military organization. !"
Labor Soldiers in 1905.
Under the leadership of the Bolshe-
viks the first workers detachments
of the Red Guard were organized in
the period of the 1905 revolution.
These detachments again appeared in
1917 after the February revolution.
In June, 1917, there were in Lenin-
grad alone 10000 organized Red
Guards. The Red Guards and the
best elements of the old czarist army
decided the fate Of the October revo-
luton.

alton argues today, that it was good
for the children to work long hours
IN the mills.
But the solidarity of all the work
ers, striking together, women, chill
dren, men Of the factories, mechanics,
masons and carpenters, was feared
even then by the masters. Another
strike in Philadelphia that summer
called forth an editorial in the New
York Evening Post, eve cannot too
deeply regret the frequent recurrence
of these disorders which tend to throw
a shadow over the brilliant hopes
which the philanthropist and the pa
triot have formed for our country"
The first labor party was started
that same summer of 1928, a hundred
years ago. The Working Mems Party
was organized in Philadelphia in July,
by the first labor union, the Mocha.
MICS Union of Trade Associations.
They sent out a call for a meeting
to "confer with any committee of
mechanics or working men that might
meet them on the subject of the next
general election"
The members of that first labor
union, The Mechanics Union of Trade
Associations, were not fully class-con-
scious. But they wrote that they
worked increasingly for meagre sub
sistence in order to maintain "in af-
fluence and luxury the rich who never
labor" that the products of their
work were accommodating into vast,
pernicious Masses" and would "pre-
pare the minds Of the possessors for
the exercise of lawless rule and des-
potism, to overawe the meagre malti-
-ude and brighten away that shadow Of
freedom which still fingers urnung us."

expect that the Workers (Communist)
Party's presidential election campaign
of 1923 will gain US heavy increases
in membership and the tfn-fold multi
plication of our following generally,
so that for the future we can expect
the financial burdens to be more
thinly spread and to weigh less
heavily.
We can expect that the Central
Committee of the Party will soon an
nounce the official opening of the
campaign and with it an appeal for a
campaign fund of 100000. This looks
like tremendous amount of money,
but we must remember that national
campaign properly carried out should
cost far more, and no doubt the total
contributions will go far beyond this
figure.
It is Of considerable Importance to
remember that large part of the
sum will have to be raised very early
in the campaign to allow the Party
to carry out the job of placing it's
candidates in nomination in the vari-
GUS states.

The air lines established between
the U. S. and other countries will
not only be limited to commercial
use. This is a disguise to develop
aviation for military purposes. 1t
is very easy to convert a commercial
plane for military use, and according
to Secretary Wilbur aircraft is alb
solutely indispensable in naval war
fare" Therefore, Rear-Admiral A.
Moffett, chief of the navy buro for
aeronautics demanded 7,759 planes to
complete the billion dollar naval pro-
gram. Without their air planes
American troops could have never
penetrated the impregnable sections
of Nicaragua. TIE militarists of this
country are therefore utilizing Lind
bergh as a tool to develop aviation

territorial system has become the
basis of the armed forces of the U.
S. S. R. The number of territorial
divisions already constitutes more
than half of all divisions of the Red
Army.
The relative strength of the Party
organizations in the Red Army, also
continually increases; the authority
of the Communist nuclei among the
non-party soldiers is growing, which
can be seen from the numerical
growth of Party members in the Red
Army; on the first of January 1925
they numbered $500, on January 1,
1926 there were 74,327 and in 1927
the number was 90,461.
The number of young Communists
also rapidly increases in the Red
Army. Their number at the present
time is 10000.
Under the leadership of the CPSU,
true to Lenin's traditions, the Red
Army is firmly guarding the con-
quests of the October revolution.

The significance Of Lindbergh to
the American working class is not
his daring personality nor heroism
as an Individual. The capitalist class
does not consider Lindbergh from
this point of view. The name Of
Lindbergh is connected with mass
movements which he succeeded in Gre
ating through his general popularity,
80 widely played up by the capitalist
press. Lindbergh flew to South
America not as an individual. but as
the "Good Will Ambassador" of Amer

First Factory Strike in u. S.

THE first strike Of factory workers
in the United States was declared
in 1928, hundred years ago. Men
spinners and the children and women
in the factories of Paterson, New
Jersey, walked out at II o'clock Of a
July day and were joined by the car
penters, masons and mechanics of the
town
The masters had Conceived that it
would add to the comfort ard health
Of the children to take their dinner
st one instead of IL o'clock it being
a more equal division of time between
their meals" The workers struck for
the II o'clock noon hour. Their fell
low workers in building trades and
machine shops struck at the same time
in sympathy, and all demanded
shorter Gay of ten instead Of eleven
hours. The bosses, with the excep-

Misleaders Wrecked Unions.

industrial parts of the middle west
in recent years. Steady work and
wages damped down discomfort. Pes

There have been no big labor strug-

has thus been impeded.
