sued by Halsey, Stuart. & Co.
The figures show that the daily
circulation. Of newspapers in 1879
totalled a 900, 600 copies. Since
there are about $4,000, 900 fam.
lilies in this country, there was
an average of one newspaper for
every family; with over half the
families In the United States
taking more than one paper. Be
tween 1919 and 1929, newspaper
advertising revenue increased
from $500, ,00O, 900 to $500, ,OOO, 600
"a 6 per cent increase.
It is pointed out In the review
that newspapers and magazines
are delivered to the reader ut
less than the actual. cost of pro
duction. Advertising, the review
says. is the reason. The growth
Of this great business building

Shoes and Shortages

We had almost become convinced that nobody
in the Soviet Union has pair of shoes, in spite
of the fact that 11OoO0,OOO pairs were made there
last year. just twice as many as in 1913, when
we discovered something.
In the N. Y. Times of Nov. 81, page 3, we
learned from an obscure paragraph that the
committee gathering charity gifts for the un-
employed has gotten some 1000 pairs of shoes,
it says, 'for distribution to pupils who cannot
attend classes because of lack of footwear
Now we have not noticed any shortage" of
footwear. The stores are full of them, with buy
now!" signs in all windows. We can't understand
just why these kids or their parents are so OBJ
stinate in not buying now" But they are that
cussed obstinate that they would rather go bare
foot than buy.

Whom to Thank
By JORGE

While on Friday night the Riga correspondent
that Stain was assassinated the New York
papers were all a-1utter with headlines,
What a nice story? They could scarcely con-
ceal their pleasure. But among the workers. 80!
Some of them felt appalled-quite naturally, Of
course, since it is no light thing to lose valu-
able leader.
One comrade, in dismay, called the Daily
told that the report was denied blurted out in
relef-"Thank God!"
Well, we can understand the feeling of course,
but assured the comrade that if somebody had
to be thanked. she might select the OGPU which
defends not only Stain, but the whole gains of
the working class and the Soviet Power.
While we are thinking about this, we might
add that any hope of the murderous capitalist
class, that the murder of Stain or anyone else,
would help them to break the Soviet Power, is
rank lunacy.
The Russian working class has grown UP" in
thirteen years, the Party of Lenin is steeled in
struggle, there are hundreds and thousands of
devoted and trained and schooled Communists
to step into the breach.
No matter who falls, Lennism and the Soviet
will live and grow!

Ninth Int'l Conference of
Revolutionary Miners
BY 10 ETASH.
Part ii.

WHILE chaos and anarchy exist in the capi-
p" talist countries, while wages are being slash
ed and the naturalization schemes of the bosses
put into effect of the expense of the miners,
while millions of miners throughout the capitalist
mining world are being thrown out of work and
the figure of unemployment grows by leaps and
bounds. while the mine workers and their fam
lilies being driven into destituton in all capi-
talist mining countries, the conditions under
which the miners in the Soviet Union work are
just the opposite The wages instead of contin-
ually being cut are being increased, every phase
of their lives being improved Rationalization
now, is being introduced in the Soviet Mining
Industry, but this naturalization is used for Just
the opposite purpose to that of the capitalist
countries. Rationalizatoin in the Soviet Union
means better conditions lighter work and short
er hours for the miners. The construction of
the Soviet mining industry and the extent to
which the conditions of the miners have i'm
proved simultaneously can be seen in the fol-
lowing figures:
Already in 1927, the coal output in the U.SSR.
reached the pre-war level, while by the end of
the economic year 1929-193O the coal output will
be 55000,000 tons as against the 100000 tons
prior to the war. The development of the min
ing industry in the USSR. exceeds the tempo
of the Five-Year Plan, which will be accomplish
ed within the space of three years. and in the
oil industry within 2h years. According to the
plan, the output for the coming year will COM
prise 100000 tons of coal and 22Oo0,OOo tons
OF oil. BY the end of the year period (begin-
ming 1929 the output will be 14o,O0O0O0 tons of
coal, 100000 tons of oil, 34000000 tons of ore
and 100000 tons of turf. These figures are
being achieved due to the mechanical forms of
production coupled with the revolutionary enthu-
siasm of the workers. BY the end Of $780, 45

PRE-PLENUM DISCUSSION
Young Communist League, U.SA.
Trade Union Work and the Role of the
Young Communist League

Union should be utilized in combating the faS-
cist and company unions The capitalist class
fully realizes the effectiveness of sports among
young workers and uses this means of diverting
the workers attention from their worsening econ
omic conditions. With this method it tries to
prevent them from organizing to fight for better
conditions.
In regions where fascism and gangsterism are
obstacles in cur work of reaching the workers
with our program (South, steel and mining)
sports is effective spearhead for forming con-
facts and organizing.
The recent Labor Sports Union Convention
cleveland, Ohio, Nov. 81 has already laid the
basis for this work. The task for the T. U. u L.
and Y. c. L. is to apply these decisions in their
everyday work.
In order for the T. u u L. to prove itself the
daily organizer and leader of the workers it must
fight for the everyday demands of the workers
The fight for the immediate economic demands
of the workers is the key to our for rally
ing the workers under our leadership. Up to
the present time, in many cases the demands put
forward by our unions have not been based on
nor formulated by the workers themselves. In
stead general demands have been presented to
the workers, which they are not ready to struggle
for at the present time. Our organizers do not
understand that this is the reason why in some
instances the workers have not responded suffi-
GENTLY. In all cases the immediate demands
must be simple and express the grievances of the
workers. Demands concerning increase in pay
sanitary conditions, safety devices, lockers and
washrooms, ventilation, hours of work, etc. must
be put forward Separate demands for each Sec
ton and large factory must be worked out on the
basis OF the given conditions.

St. Louis Convention of the League
of Struggle for Negro Rights

The fact is that in the South millions of Ne
gro workers and poor farmers are still in the
position in many instances worse than chattel
slavery"
The manifesto declares that the right of self
determination with confiscation of the land for
the Negroes who work it is the only solution
of lynching and Negro oppression and calls upon
the white and Negro masses "to fight for the
right of self-determination of the Negroes in the
black belt where they are the majority of the
population by securing the land to the Negroes
who work the land by establishing the state unity
of the Black Belt and by securing to the Negro
majority the right and possibility of deciding its
relations to other governments
1t calls for "the removal of all armed forces
of the white ruling class from this territory
in the Black Belt" 1t declares that "in con-
tradiction to the falacy of the peaceful return
to Africa, this convention declares its determin-
alton to struggle for the unqualified rights of
the Negroes in this country" and that further
lin contradiction to the illusions spread by Gar
veyism, OF revolutionary granting by the i'm
perlalists OF freedom without struggle for the
African masses, this convention supports the
revolutionary struggles of the masses of the vari-
Gus African colonies against the imperialist rob-
bers and for the establishment of independent
native republics"
The manifesto points out to the Negro work
ers that they cannot free themselves by merely
fleeing to the North. "The heritage of the plan
tations still cling to them in the northern in
dustrial centers. The chains of the convict labor
in the South extend to the cities and enshackle
the Negro industrial worker. The Negro in the
North cannot free himself as long as his brother
remains slave in the South"
1t calls upon the white workers and poor
farmers to support the struggles of the Negro
masses, pointing out that "the interests of the
great masses Of white workers are diametricaIly
opposed to any special oppression Of any section
of the working class. The existence of section
of workers specially exploited and oppressed is
a constant threat to the living standards of the
working class a whole The presence Of cheap
labor is weapon with which the bosses are
able to nullify all the economic gain of the

Article No. 2.

CT LOUIS.-It is the unanimous verdict of the
delegates to the anti-lynching convention of
the American Negro Labor Congress (now the
League of Struggle for Negro Rights that his
tory was made in this city during the past few
days 1t is verdict that the imperalist oppres-
sors of the Negro masses will be forced to concur
In sooner or later.
The convention concretized the struggle of the
Negro masses for unconditional equality for the
right of sef-determination and by its decisions
and its selection of the new name the League
of Struggle for Negro Rights fully crystalized
the idea that it is an organization of struggle
and that struggle is for Negro rights from the
very smallest fight against oppression and for
all immediate demands of the Negro masses
clear up to the ultimate liberation of the Negro
masses with state unity of the BLACK Belt and
the right of the Negroes to decide their relation
ship to other governments with the right of
separation from the bourgeois United States gov
ernment if they so desire.
In a ringing manifesto to the Negro and
white workers and poor farmers the convention
gave a bitter incident of American bourgeois
democracy, pointing out that:
I'm this so-called democratic United States
the citadel of capitalist civilization and culture
the white ruling classes carry out the most
shameless and barbarous oppression of millions
of Negro workers and farmers. Economically
super-exploited, socially ostracized, in many
places denied even the most elementary human
rights the Negroes are relegated to the lowest
rungs Of the social ladder and exist as a nation
of "untouchable' or social lepers." subjected to
the most flagrant prosecutions and abuses
"It is an infamous lie perpetrated only by
government of slave drivers and their agents
to maintain the yoke of slavery has been listed
from the Negroes in these United States. The
so-called proclamation of emancipation" only
signifies formal abolition of slavery without
removing its real basis-the monopoly of the
land by the plantation owners of the South
. monopoly they still enjoy-after the civil war
with the connivance and support of the so-called
friends of the Negroes, the northern capitalists

workers The poisonous venom of race hatred
injected into the ranks Of the white workers
becomes converted into an instrument for the
destruction of working class solidarity, the only
guarantee for successful struggles"
The manifesto was thunderously received by
the convention and unanimously adopted Both
the delegates and the large number Of specta-
tors present were electrified with It's militant
demands, especially the demand for confiscaton
of the land Of the Southern land-monopolists
in the Black Belt for the Negro toilers who
work the land and who today are shamelessly
robbed and oppressed by the land owners.
