Gandhi Dinner
By JORGE

"In honor of Mahatrna M f. Gandhi" din
ner is to be held Thursday, June 4, in the City
OF New York and at the Hotel Aston.
We must specify that it is at the Hotel Astos
and add that it is very expensive TO honor the
Indian "ascetic" whose common habililnents IL

milk and popular applause
For on the invitations to the testimonial din

Nath Chose Of India" is due to express what
American opinion can do for India" 1t is noted;
5000 per person"
While observing that Mr.. Chose will likely
enjoy meal costing more than Bombay tex
tile worker gets in wages for a whole month, We
must note that he has distinguished company.
There is u. S. Senator Royal s. Copeland, for
example, whose interest in Gandm can be meg
sured by the fact that he expresses American
irrperialist desire to see India liberated" from
British imperialism so that the Indians may be
free to buy Arrow collars and other trirkets
made in u S, A.
Then there is Mr.. Upton Close, who for mary
years in China has been "criticidng" imperl&list
mistakes in order that, with such weaknesses
corrected, imperialism might strengthen It's grip
on China.
sion for Justice does not operate for workers In
the United States, but is reserved solely for ex-
port to India And then Bishop Mcconnell, who
doubtless would like to impose upon heather"
India the same blessed religious regime which Is
getting snlacked in the eye in Spain.
Then we have Major Eugene F. Kinkead. Well
the British Foreign Office ought to be interested
in this! An officer of the U. S. Army sticking
his major-ial nose into the business Of Indian
independence-fro Britain. Doesn't this Helats
the etiquette of Mr. StiInson? How would Sim
son like to hear that British major Is pow

But there is one name missing, but no doubt
there will be no vacant chair. That Is, the name
and person of Mr.. Jay Loyestone, whose devotion

Metal Miners Prepare for Struggle

BY w. S.
THE metal miners third district convention
of the National Miners Union held az IRON
wood Mich, on May 10, was an effective mobili-
cation OF our forces to organize the miners in
the copper and iron country of Northern Mich
igan, Wisconsin and Minnesota. Sixty-seven reg
ular and fraternal delegates were present and
among the locals repreec-- I'd t.ise we're eleven
shaft committees and organizing committees The
fraternal delegates represented the Lumber
Workers Union, the Unemployed Councils, the
Trade Union Unity League, the Finnish Work
ers Club, the Womens Sections, the Labor Sports
Union, and the Workers and Farmers Coopera-
tive Unity Alliance Ten young miners were
among the delegates to the convention.
The reports showed the effects of the crisis on
the conditions of the metal miners. With the
price of copper steadily sinking to its lowest
point in history. the copper trust is selling the
opportunity to slash wages The "offical' wage
reduction is 10 per cent but in actual fact the
miners wages have been cut as much as so
per cent About half the copper miners are I'M
employed. In the copper country the picture
of desolatjon is ndcscribabe; by actual count It
was found that is OF every II miners houses
were boarded up.
In the iron ore mines. conditions are no bet
ter. On the Cayuna Range, where manganese
ore is mined out of 50 mines only three are
working, and these are also facing a shutdown

In the number Of miners employed compared TO
1920. AT Iron River only 8 out OF II mines
are working. Around Ironwood, the mines are
also facing further lay-offs or complete shut
down.
These conditions have greatly increased the
sentiment for organization Among the metal
miners. In spite OF the spy system and the
threat of blacklist by the steel and copper trust
the miners are responding to the National Miners
Union. On May /, outstanding feature OF
the demonstrations and mass meetings was the
large turnout of miners in spite Of the at
tempt to prohibit the demonstrations.
the basic form of organization Of the NMU in
mine committees. pit and shaft committees The
role of grievance committees in modifying the
miners around the struggle against specific
grievances in each mine was emphasized The
young miners will play an especially import
ant part in this field because of the language
barriers among the older miners. The youth
is most rebellious against company rule in the
small mining towns and with the proper at
tcntion can be won over to the National Miners
Union The role OF the Womans Auxiliaries as
a permanent part OF the union where the wives
and other relatives of the miners can be drawn
into tie struggle was brought forward at the
convention. The Building of Miners Unemployed
Councils among the jobless miners was also en-
phasized as an important task of the NMU.

'Impeycrishment Comes from Plenty
BY HARRY CANNES.

2. 'Jmpevcriskment Comes From Plenty
r FTER the event the stupideSt become wise. ;"
IA The peculiar features of capitalist crisis,
which Marx pointed out in 1S47, are now be-
ginning TO be recognized by the capitalists in
sort of Supplied amazenlent.
It is only natural that at this stage OF CAPT
talst development, with the productive. forces so
fully developed ON gigantic scale. with over
production so rampant in every agrarian coun-
try that even the capitalist economic blunderers
should stumble on the fact that the capitalist
economic crisis presents the glaring contradiction
of starvation in the midst of plenty
Thus we find Sir Alan Anderson, director OF
the Bank of England a learned pundit Of B1i-
tish capitalism, unburdening himself of these
pearls at the International Chamber of Com
merce sessions in Washington:
eve find ourselves today In all material
things immensely rich but we all poor"
(sir Alan wants us to pity Messrs. Mellon,
Ford, Rockefeller, Deterdng and the other
members of their class 1--WE suffer. not be-
cause We have too Ntt.e to drink or eat or
wear, because the goods dear, but be-
cause our warehouses are stuffed with cheap
goods that no one win @ buy, and our har-
hors congested with ships that will
charter, and men, here, there and every
where are out OF work. something has slipped
out of gear in the intricate machinery of this
simple civilized life
The idea of the 1000 bankers, industrialists,
stock gamblers, capitalist politicians assembled
at Washington thinking of themselves as having
too little to drink, or cat, or wear must have
passed as a good joke at their wel-filled ban
quet tables.
Nevertheless, Sir Alan does begin to see that
capitalism means starvation for the masses in
the degree that food becomes too plentiful" And
he thinks something has slipped out of gear "
He is oblivious of the fact that the gear is worn
out and the whole machine of capitalism is
going down the steep hill of decay and ultimate
destruction.
The contradictory nature of capitalist crisis
was brought out by many more of the delegates.

''Dear Patriotic Friend"

Such Is the salutation on a circular letter sent
out by the Fellowship Forum" which says II
is The Worlds Greatest Patriotic Weekly News
paper" large job that being patriotic for the
whole world, you will observe.
And it involves certain difficulties. In fact
the first paragraph of the letter indicates ons
OF them. 1t says:
For ten years the Fellowship Forum has
stood for all those things which go to make up
righteous government, and during portion of
that time, you were among our regular readers
and supporters. For some reason-probably over
sight on your part-you have not renewed your
subscription"
Now that is downright bad Has the cause
of righteous government" no place to rest its
weary head? 1t seems So becaxss the next para
graph tells us - or rather taRs the patriotic
friends:
Just ahead OF us are crucial times-tirnes
when all good Americans MUST stand to-
sether. Communism is lifting its vicious head
In an effort to capture our government"
This begins to lock serious don't 1t? We, that
is to say Communism" is always and every
'h1ting It's vicious head" In fact it gives us .
pain IN the neck to have our vicious head lifted
so often and in all directions 1t begins to feel
like chiropractic adjustment.
But the Fellows Forum is seeking to raj
subscriptions by nlit presentation We reject alb
solutely that We arc lifting our head. be it "ytci-
GUS or otherwise to capture" the capitaE
government merely to install ourselves in
armchair OF Mr.. Hccc 1t would be a d
loss on our hands. ", would have to trad
Off for dog and then kill the dog. We ca

And besides, we have something better
have the idea, which is proven excellent by es
per1ence, that Workers end Farmers Govern,
ment is the only form CT government which viii
nelp the workers and II, ,oyerished farmers.
And perhaps it is precisa7 this idea which has
dawned upon the minds of many of the hitherto
patriotic friends Of the F-~owship Forum and
caused slump, bust ~ depression so to
speak, in its crcu,s ion Indeed the letter
speaks anxiouslg CT this "Curely, loss Of IN

scription.'

LA PAZ, Bolivia, February 20.-The
Prince Of Wales, oppressed by the high
altitude of this mountain capital, hur-
ried back today across the Andes to
Antofagasta, Chile, after spending just
seven and one-half hours in La PaZ.
In that time he crowded an of1cial
reception at the executive palace, where
he and Gen. Blanco Galindo, President
Of the Military Junta, exchanged deco
rations; another reception at the town
hall, q final reception at the British
legation and dinner with the President
at the palace.
Both he and Prince George, although
commenting that the trip from Cuzco,
with its delightful mountain scenery,
and across Lake Titicaca had greatly
impressed them, were obviously tired
and oppressed by the rarefled atmoS-
phere here. They did not play golf at
: the La Plaz links, the highest 18-hole
course in the world.
The ceremony at the executive palace
lasted only five minutes, the Prince of
Wales bestowing on Gen. Blanco the
Order of the British Empire and the
President pinning upon both the Grand
Cross of the Condor of the Andes. At
the Municipal Hall the British heir was
presented a plaque of native wood car

entations in Spanish.
