This Is the latest development in
British politics, brought to the fore
by the formation Ct q Scotch National
party running its own candidates for
the British parliament to fight in
tnat body Tor self determination just
q the Irish Nationalists used to do.
It has rather startled Englishmen,
who complacently Jest that the Scots
come Gown from the hills to rule the
British government and to run the
newspapers. banks and shops Of Lon
don. But latterly the men with the
pleasant burr in their voices have
come to the metropolis demanding
that Scots be protected from the In
creasing Irish immigration into their
land. and that Scotland be given
home rule.
The first Of these complaints was
voiced recently by . deputation repre-
senting the Protestant churches OF
Scotland. They were politely, but
coldly, received by the home secre-
tary, Sir William Joynson- Hicks, and
the minister for Scotland In Baldwin,s
cabinet, Sir John Gilmour.
Figures Tell Story
The Scotch delegation said their
country was being steadily drained Of
Scots and filled up with Irish. In
1919 the total emigration from Scot.
land was 1854. Four hundred thou
sand Scots have left their country for
good In the last ten years. In the

have been even greater had Il not
been for Irish Immigration.

Workers School Opens
Classes in Rus STA n /,
Statistical M e t h o d s

Because of great demand for Ian
guage instruction, the Workers
School has to conduct class in
elementary Russian for beginners.
The course will be exceptionally
valuable because it offers many OPP
portunities to read in the original
Lenin's works, and those of many
Russian writer's whose works have
not been translated. 1t will also
interest workers who plan to visit
the Soviet Union. The course will
be given on Tuesdays and Fridays
at Z p. m. by Zachary Bezdominy,
and will COM enuce Nov. IL, the
school reports.
The school also announces a
course in Statistical methods" with
Sola De Leon as instructor. This
course is designed to train workers
for research service.
Statistical Methods" is to begin
Nov. IA at $50 p. m.
Tuition for the first course will be
SO and for the second 81.
Since there is great demand for
both courses, the Workers School
urges immediate registration at the
school office, 1928 Union Square,
fifth floor.

Watt Still Splitting.
While this militant meeting was
going on Watt, the N. M. U. rene
gade president, called together a
small hand-picked group few miles
away, and announced to the press
that it was a "sub-district confer
ence." His purpose was to split the
union and confuse miners. He false
ly asserted to the meeting that the
Belleville district convention expell-
ed him without trial.
When a large number of the rank
and file miners broke into Watts
conference" Watt told them he was
calling a rank and file district con-
vention to reverse the Belleville con-
vention's actions. Under cross ex-
animation by rank and filers, Watt
admitted, however, he alone wrote
the call for a select few from
Staunton to endorse. His call spoke
of itself as the "voice of the rank
and file" and asked that the "red
leadership of the N. M. U. be
ousted."

against him were decided by the
national executive committee.
Benld Miners Move.
The Benld local of the N. M. U,
has sent a communication to the
Staunton local, where alone Watt
has any following among the min
ers. These letters from the Bend
local demand solidarity in the strug-
81 and a fight against splitters,
and miners from Benld declare they
will back them up personally before
the Staunton membership.
Watt is trying to establish a split
ters' district headquarters in Staun-
ton. The local there NEE is tonight,

they will convince Watt the days of
Lewis bureaucratic methods are
over and that every official must

The leaflet points out that the So

with the Horthy government just a
few days before the strike, and
agreed to make the country "demo-

surely coming against the employ

of the miners to have their own or

must broaden their base, and make
preparations. The National Miners
Union must not call strikes in April,
as the U. M. w. does. Economic
power registers best in the winter,

All this, of course, has aroused
great hatred against the collective
farms on the part of the Kulaks.

placing agriculture on a collective
basis and the more decisive the ad-
vance of Socialism in the country
side, so much. the more stubborn
and intense is the resistance Of the
rich peasantry. Realising that col

Of capitalist accumulation, the Ku-
laks are using all their influence
on the peasant farms depending on
them, in order to hinder the or
ganization of collective farms;
they are applying the most varied
forms of intimidation, employing
Islander and the spreading of false
rumors and even going as far as
setting fire to collective farm
buildings and numbering the farm
directors. Cases are known where
the Kulaks have hired beggars
with a view to the latter present

Merker of Germany in
Leading Report

MOSCOW, Dec. ia the
Plenum of the Executive Bureau of
the Red International of Labor
Unions, Merker, of Germany, spoke
in review of the labor struggles,
declaring that events since the last
World Congress of the R.I.L.U.
have proven the correctness of the
tactic of independent leadership by
revolutionary trade unionists of
strike struggles.
Cooperation with social fascists
was crime, said Merker, because
they always betrayed the workers.
Participating in the discussion
were the following; Chen, of China;
Foster, of the U. S. A; Bandeboem,
of Belgium; Mahon, of England; :;
Atchkanov, of the R.LL.U.; To-
mann, of Austria; Ballam, of the
U. S. A., and Yussefovitch, of the
Soviet Trade Unions.
