our lives has turned into anger. Our
sufferings has stiffened into de-
termination.
We will raise the red banner of
mass revolt. We will march to the
battle for our liberation. This May
Day review is only one moment of
training for war of the world-the
final war of the classes.
You, in your greedy lust for loot,
foment new wars to be fought by us
against each other for the greater
glory of your fatherlands and your
flags. We declare: This shall not
pass. We will no more fight your
wars. We are training for the war
of the working-class. We are gath
ering forces to crush you with all
your world, that is reared upon our
shattered lives.
On the day your drums beat and
your bugles declare new war, on
the day your preachers bleat, "Our
sacred homeland" and your patri-
OTIS shout, "The honor of the flag"
we shall take hold of the weapons
you have prepared, we shall man the
cannon, seize the rifles, mount the
planes and battleships, and we shall
turn them against you, against your
domination, against your system of
slavery, degradation, and blood.
We shall establish a Soviet in our
land. We shall build a Soviet in
every land. There will be a world
Federation of Soviets.
We march to the beat of our
hearts. We march to the tune of
our red blood. We march to the
mastering ground of May First. We
are millions upon millions over world.
We shall win. We haze nothing
to lose but our chains. We shall
gain a q0hoIe world.

Bullets Could Not Prevent Oppressed Workers
From Celebrating May LIST

general reply to this declaration was
naturally"
But already the next year, 1890,
May Day demonstrations were or.
ganized in Russia.
In the nineties of the 10th CEN
tury, the May Day celebrations as
sumed mass character only in the
most industrial districts of the Rus
STA of that time-Poland, The work
ers of Western Russia who entered
on the path Of mass revolutionary
movement before the workers of
Central Russia, started also the
celebrations of May Day earlier than
they did.
In 1890, May Day was celebrated
in Warsaw, where two proclama-
tons were issued beforehand and on
May First, from eight to ten thou
sand workers were out on strike. In
connection with this celebration, the
government perpetrated mass ar
rests not only among workers, but
also amongst the intellectuals.
The May Day celebrations of that
period in Central Russia were of a
different nature. Here, during the
first years when the. revolutionary
labor organizations existed in the
form of small circles, studying the
fundamental problems of the theory
of the labor movement, the May
Day celebrations were limited mere
ly to secret meetings which were of
a propaganda nature at which
small groups of organized under
ground workers circles participated.
In 1892, apart from the st. Peters
burg and Polish workers, the First
Of May was celebrated in Wilma by
the Jewish workers, who organized
an underground meeting. The
speeches delivered at that meeting
were later published in pamphlet
form.
In 1898 the First of May was cele-
DRAFTED for the first time in Kazan.

In Tsarist Russia the workers had
to pay with blood and their free
dom for participating in May Day
celebrations. But the revolution
cannot be crushed by bullets and
back jacks. Hard labor and execu-
tons are powerless and they could
not destroy the revolutionary Party
of the proletariat; on the contrary,
they only hardened the fighters of
the workers Party. The May Day
celebrations were converted into a
school for the proletarian struggle
against the armed forces of the
tsarist government. The First of
May was celebrated in tsarist Rus
STA in one form or another for 81
years. The history of the May Day
is bound up with the history of de-
velopment of the revolutionary
struggle of the Russian workers and
with the history of their revolution
airy Party. The May Day banners
of the Russian workers spoke not
only of the general tasks in the
struggle, but also of the slogans
dealing with the burning questions
of the day. These slogans and the
general character of the festivals
changed accordingly as the nature
of the workers organizations and
the slogans of the proletariar par
ties developed.
When in 1889 the First Congress
Of the Second International decided
to celebrate the First of May, it
seemed that under the conditions of
tsarist Russia it would be impossible
to bring that decision into effect.
Flekhanov joined the Polish delega-
ton on behalf of the Russian dele
gates in declaring that in view of
the exceptional conditions in tsarist
Russia, they "cannot concentrate all
their forces exclusively on this agi-
tation and that they cannot sacri-
flee the life of their organizations in
order to organize successful May
Day demonstrations" That il was
impossible to celebrate May Day un-
der Russian conditions was consid-
cred also by other delegates. The

The Bloody May Days of Tsarist Russia

the transformation of the May Day
celebrations into open political dem
onstrations, often ended in skir-
mishes with the police and the mill
tary forces. The tsarist government
also intensified its aggressive atti-
tude to the May Day celebrations.
In addition to the arrests, searches,
and beatings, the government was
now organizing pogroms and letting
loose the black hundreds on the
heads of the demonstrators.
In 1898, a national May Day Man
ifesto was issued for the first time
on behalf of the R. s. d. l.. P. In
it we find for the first time definite
demands for an eight-hour working
day, the freedom Of. strikes, speech,
press, assembly, and organization,
the freedom OF conscience and faith,
equality of nationalities, the con-
vocation Of parliament represent
ing the people elected by means of
a general secret and direct equal
vote for all.
The year 1899 was the first year
in which May Day demonstrations
were held on mass scale. The ex-
tensive May Day movement of that
year brought forth increased repres-
sive measures from the government.
Prior to and soon after the First of
May, close to $50 people were ar
rested in st. Petersburg. Numerous
searches and arrests were perpe-
trated in Moscow and other towns.
In Kiev, 176 people were arrested
aid about 500 house searches were
made. In Gomel Is people were ar
rested, and house searches made.
In Odessa, 200 people were detained.
In Kiev, 8 people were arrested and
a red banner at meeting discovered
was confiscated by the police. The
workers were arrested on the eve of
May Day in Ufa. Realizing its i'm
portance in staving off the labor
movement by means of arrests, the
government attempted That year to
organize the "Black Hundreds" as
g. means of struggle against the
Revolution. In Nikolaev, a Jewish
pogrom was organized on April 10,
to prevent May Day celebrations.

to use our toll to their greatest adj
