WHAT MUST BE DONE?
Written IN T0nlbs Prison

April "a at Manhattan Lyceunl-must pre-
sent mass legislation from the shops-from
every shop committee, every shop local OF the
Trade Union Unity League-every militant
local of the A. T. of L., from the militant min
GRITTY groups of locals of the A. F. of L. from
every working class organization, from the I'M
employed councils.
A mass answer to the attacks of the bosses
and their government against the working
class as a whole! A mass answer to the fas-
cist A. F. of L. leadership, to the social-fascist
socialist party, to the open fascist American
Legion and Veterans of Foreign Wars who
are the smokescreen of the police!
This must be done! This can be done! The,
Communist Party and Trade Union Unity
League have a mighty task-not merely for
May Day, but for the organization and mob
ilizaton of the workers for continued struggle.
Every auxiliary must be utilized for the
struggle. The Daily Worker must become the
mass paper of the workers; the workers must
be made familiar with the literature of the
Communist Party and Trade Union Unity
League. They must be enrolled in the fighting
industrial unions and industrial leagues of the
T.U.U.L. The best fighters-especially young
workers, Negro and women workers-must be
brought into the Communist Party.
Struggle Against Right Wing
The Party and TU.U.L. must continue its
fight-an open merciless struggle against op
portunsm in theory and practice. No con-
cealment of errors and of persistent right devil
atoms. Removals of chronic right wingers
from position, especially those who cannot and
will not ACCEPT and carry out the line! This is
imperative. Can this task be fulfilled? 1t
can and will be done, if the Party fearlessly
goes forward, drawing fresh new proletarians
into leadership in the units, sections and dis
tricts of the Party, in the industrial unions
and leagues in the bridge organizations
1t can and will be done, if every member
throws his energy into the work-for May
Day-for the continued struggle after May
Day-for the struggle of the working class
against all its class enemies!

THE enemies and misleaders of American
i labor are time and again coming out to
state that May First is an entirely foreign
affair" This is lie. So is the claim that
conservative leadership built the American la
Dor movement and reds are wrecking it.
Under the pressure of the rank and file of
the American workers the Federation of Or
ganized Trades and Labor Unions at their Chi
cago convention on October, 1884, adopted
resolution to set May First, 1886, as the day
for the struggle for the eight-hour day.
The officials of the Knights of Labor did
their utmost to break this eight-hour move
ment, but the spontaneous strikes, sympathy
strikes and boycotts that took place from 1886
on, developed the fighting spirit of the Amer
lean workers to such stage that 1890 finds
American labor determined to mobilize their
forces for May Day demonstrations for the
eight-hour day, for international solidarity and
for declaration to the world that while fight
ing for the eight-hour day, they will not lose
sight of their ultimate aim: the abolition of
wage slavery.
May First. 1890.
Said the spokesman of the A. F. of L. in
1890 among others:
May Day is to be the red letter day of
American workngmen. In hundreds of cities
and towns in the United States, labor unions
composed of carpenters, stone masons paint
ers and workingmen in other trades, will turn
out in force to show their employers the
strength of their organizations, and to en-
courage one another in the belief that
invincible The demonstration this May Day
may be called the skirmsh which will open
the general engagement"
On the old pages of the daily papers of May
2, 1890, we can read the reports of the brilliant
mobilization of American labor. The most
striking demonstration took place in Chicago
and New York.
The New York Tribune of 1890 declares:
The mobilization for the First of May
demonstration in Union Square is going on
feverishly. The meetings at Clareton and
Webster Halls modified seventy labor unions
to turn out in force Painters Local No s
brought in resolution requesting the mayor
to hoist the red flag the City Hall build
ing, stating that the red flag speaks for
humanity as a whole and is therefore surely
worth such place the national American
flag"
"The employers in New York made re-
quest for a strong police force and about
800 policemen were modified for May Day.
We read in the New York papers on May
about this demonstration in Union Square and
it becomes clear to US that on May First, 1890
Union Square became the Red Square for the
American workers.
ut was day to which millions were look
ing forth with eager hope. In spite of the
heavy rain that poured this Thursday (May
/, 1890 New York labor marched in thous-
ands under the red flag which is red with
the blood of our martyrs (The n. Y. STAN

Strategic Railways in Serbia

The Yugoslavian military dictatorship is
working feverishly to complete number of
strategic railway lines: the Adria line, Bel
grade Bosnia Montenegro. and the Old-Serbia
Macedonia Btoli line. The first line has been
rapidly extended to the Bosnian frontier. The
"Yugoslavian Lloyd" governmental organ)
stresses the economic and national impor-
tance of these lines. These lines are of great
political Importance not only with regard to
outside danger. but in order better to hold the
non Serbian districts in check.

II. ECONOMIC CRISIS AND THE THIRD
PERIOD

der way there are signs announcing the fact that no help is wanted.
 A visit to the "skidway" in Seattle, which serves as sort of a clearing house for workers, the Alaskan saw only one help wanted notice and that was for milking jo bin Alaska at S110 per month.
 There is lot of dangerous talk going on among the unemployed, MT. Hollander observed, and he says it is not confined by any means to the so-called reds. There is a feeling abroad that some of the great wealth of the nation should be utilized to re- lieve the distress of the millions who are now on the idle list. It is not a healthy environment for an Alaskan, and MT. Hollander was glad to get away fro init and back to Alaska. .

legitimate development may be brought about. It must not be over looked that progress in any section of this vast Territory directly or af- fects every other part.
 The rational development of our natural resources and 8 permanent prosperity cannot become reality merely by the National Congress opening wide the doors of the na- tional treasury rby means of some magic law which it may enact. We cannot develop this great northern empire by hothoouse methods. Nei- ther can complaints nor criticism, Jun. less constructive in nature, .heln solve our problems. The National Congress and the Territory can indeed assist us by appropriating the necessary funds to carry on the legitimate func- tions of government and by enacting wise laws that will encourage sound development, but we must not expect development to be rapid or bonanza in character. In the future the man who expects to come to Alaska Tn order to get rich quick had better stay away. A slow progress and mod est return must be the appeal. This is the third of our fundamental ele ments which we must recognize.
 So far I have perhaps been guilty of too many admonitions and have said too little about the natural re- sources which are the foundation stones for our industrial structure. Fortunately, before this audience it is not necessary for me to describe at any great length or in glowing terms their vast extent and tremendous pos abilities. We all know that Alaska surpasses any other equal area in the world in it's variety, extent and value of it's mineral resources. In South eastern Alaska alone the timber and water power resources of the Tongass national forest, when fully developed, are sufficient to manufacture one fourth of the newsprint paper con- sumed annually in the United States and continue this production in perpe- tuity. The vast quantities of timber in the Interior have also great po tentiality for future commercial use and should not be destroyed by fire.

:. CONDITIONS BAD IN MANY
 STATES, ALASKAN LEARNS
Anchorage Times.)

The unemployment situation in the
 States is worse at present than it has 7 been for a great many years, accord
 ing to G. A. Hollander, we'll known
 resident of the Anchorage district
 who returned to the city this week
 following an absence of eight months
 in the South. He obtained his .infor- 5. nation first hand, being himself one l of the great army of workers in :. search Employment, and his advice ito Alaskans is to keep away from the :. States until conditions get back to Anormal, Just when that will be, nc |. one. seems able to predict with any e degree of certainty.
 Mir. Hollander went Outside with the. expectation of finding it easy to : get work in the mining districts, but he found that the plants were either |, closing down entirely or going on a :, mart. time basis, with the result that a. a great many miners were on the idle : list. Conditions are particularly bad
 in copper mining regions as the result ,, of the .dren in copper prices. In one locality there were three cuts in '. wages while he was Outside, the total !. cut amounting to 75 cents per day.
 The companies are trying to keep their forces intact,- pending return to better conditions, but dividing the s work among the men on their pay :. rolls,.a number e the plants having |. adopted half-time policy; but that
 has not prevented the necessary lay
 ing off. of great many workers in : some sections.
 Down close to the Mexican border, = Mexican labor is making it very hard
 for an American to find work. On |. the Mexican side the companies are
 compelled by law to limit American workers to about 15 per cent, and on - the American side the American con-
 panies import Mexican labor to the
 extent of about 85 per cent, so that "a LIlC NlCAlCStl ilcsSC cll1 tiiC pSSC OA " on both sides of the line.
 But the. hard times are not con-
 fined to the mining industry, MT. Hol- ., lander found, It was estimated that :. there, were about 3O0,000 unemployed :. in Los, Angeles when he left the south
 and there seemed to be many idle men in the other localities visited b
 him along the coast, in the mountain section and in the south.
 One of the things learned by the
 Alaskan wasthat men over 45 are not wanted in the mining industry or in ] any other line. This rule is being ad-
 hered to very rigidly now that work
 is scarce and the outlook is not very
 promising for those workers who are
 past! or close to the age limit.

THE FUTURE OF ALASKA, AS
 VIEWED BY CH -.RLES FLORY,

\SoliNliiQOo II lciii ! NeoN E.I
 Alaska with her historic back ground of bonanza gold camps, has too often been overrated in the same way. Too. many in the past have come to Alaska with desire to get rich quickly, expecting, after a brief temporary sojourn, to return to the States. They have found that in Alaska the making of fortune is usually a lifetime job, requiring ex- perience, initiative and industry. To most of these individuals disillusion- ment has followed and in their dis courageme ntthey have seen nothing in the future of Alaska and many have gone away, forever embittered. Happily, this condition of affairs is rapidly changing. Instead of the itin- erant seeker after easy fortune vG find more and more permanent towns with families and children, who in- tend to make Alaska their future home. Those who have become en- frightened have settled into the har- ness and are proceeding to help de- velop the country. Prosperity, after all, is only relative, not a positive state, and much depends on the point of view.
 But in the very establishment of a reasonably permanent population, as now seems definitely assured, 1 want to point out a possible source of weakness or danger that we may not always work in the closest unity of thought in the progress of our Ter ritory.
 The Territory of Alaska is far flung in extent; it's settled sections are far. removed from each other; it's climate, topography, means of trans- portation and local conditions ary' widely. Consequently the resident of one section may easily become en- compassed by the circumstances sur rounding him and overlook or fail to appreciate the aims and desires of his fellow citizens in other parts of the Territory. In other words, we are apt to develop sectionalism which, al though good and necessary up to certain point, may, if carried too far, hinder through lack of understanding the progressive and legitimate devel- opment of the Territor vas a whole.
 For example, the logger in the for ests of Southeastern Alaska may view with little or no interest the ac- tivities of the Alaska Railroad, when as matter of fact the railroad pur- chases mot of it's tie and part of it's lumber from the mills of that section, which in turn buy their logs from the local loggers.
 Again, the farmer in the interior valley may see little or nothing in tfe pulp and paper manufacturing possiS bilities of the panhandle, or the coast fisherman may have little sympathy with the reindeer herde rof Norton Sound. Some, am sorry to say, may not as yet see need for this college and it's earnest ecorth to establish an educational center for the Territory. Please understand La mnot citing these things as specific instances, but merely using them as illustrations to point a moral. It is only by the con- certed and intelligently directed eff forts, sympathetically coordinated, of all agencies-Federal, Territorial and
