What? More Dumping?

Dear Red Sparks I'd
Why is it that when the right honorable Ham
ilton Fish finishes meal in which Russian cav
lar has played an important part, and when he
has just had some delicious Russian candy and
has just started to read paper that is made
from Russian pulpwood, his wife ups and tells
him she has bought new coat of Russian sablef
Why else but that it upsets his digestion and
prompts his butler to prepare him dose Of
Russian mineral oil-Sam E. Pioneer"
Conrad Sam, I'm astonished at you not know
ing that Russian pulpwood is used only In the
best paper. not the regular capitalist newspaper
paper but in such high class paper as went into
the Fish Committee Report itself!

A. takers are doing the same. They are taxing
the miners who work not less than five days
month to pay for relief This relief is not given
any place that we know of. 1t is good racket
for the takers.
The petty discontinued officials who are OPP
posed to the check-off because the money must
first go to the district and then is sent back
to the local, are indeed sore They don't get

Used them a square chance in the coming cleo
tons, they stopped working for the convention.
Only the Communist Party and the National
Miners Union are fighting for relief for the
miners. In Minersville, our Unemployed Coun-
Gil put forth local demands and presented them
to the county. When the county commissioners
talked with our unemployed delegation, they said
there was no unemployment in Schuylkill county.
Our delegate pulled out a list of $50 families
that had to have immediate relief. They were
gotten in Minersville, town of 1000 families
in a population Of 10000. These workers signed
their own names and told how long they had
been out Of work. From to 80 months. Some
miners having to 10 in their family. The I'M
employed delegation told the county officials:
We will get food We will show you that there
is plenty of it. We will not starve. We will not
freeze after we have dug so much coal We
will organize committees to collect food The
unemployed will do it themselves, Those that
don't want to starve, join the food collecting
committee of the Unemployed Council
This will not stop us from exposing the county
officials, as being the agents of the coal COM
panes We will draw up a list of the rich where
we want tax to be placed.
The takers are scared stiff at the militant
spirit of the miners. Boylon orders the. State
Troopers to arrest the NMU organizers. The
police are following policy of terror. They
permit no meetings of the Unemployed Councils,
in the Wilkes-Barre section. They permit no
meetings of the Communist Party but they will
never cover the misery and hardship existing
among the miners. We will fight back.

our counter -moves promptly so as to be most
effective.
The terror in Lawrence is continuing even
after the strike. The national officials of our
union-Devine and Murdoch-and the Lawrence
district organizer-Berknan-are held on threat
of deportation after having been released in ex-
orbitant bail on frame-up charges OF CON
piracy" Our union headquarters have been raid
ed, smashed up, arbitrarily shut down, and more
arrests made.
These actions of the police (breaking laws
which they are supposed 70 enforce only in the
bosses interests) are clear signs Of panic at the
growth of our union and our firm intention to
resume the offensive soon. We shall attack the

strike committee.
TIE sentiment of the Lawrence strikers was
against overtime at any price, and their demand
for time and half was for the purpose OF
penalizng overtime in cash as the best way to
discourage the petty mill bosses from urging It.
While the strike committee was In conference
with the highest officials Of the American WOOL
en- Company. it was ntimated by the latter that
"no one needs to work overtime II they don't
like to-" The strike committee was of the opinion
that another conference should be held to obtain
a definite agreement of no discrimination by
petty bosses of those who refuse overtime.
Thereupon there was launched in Lawrence
vicious police terror which has only been equaled
in the Fall River strike of 1928 and in the great
Gastonia strike. The very few days Of the strike
was not enough time to prepare the masses Of
strikers for the head-on collision with the pimps,
priests and police Of the bosses. The strike COM
mittee out-naneuvered the bosses and their
agents by executing an effective orderly retreat
to consolidate our forces and secure breathing
spell for resumption Of the struggle.
The terrorism against the workers was partic-
ularly inspired by the realization Of the bosses
that we intended to spread the strike to all
American WOODEN mills throughout New England
However, we wish to point out to all workers
the new tactics OF the bosses In this period OF
sharpening class struggle. In past textile strikes
the bosses waited a few weeks until the strikers
had spent up before starting theii terrorism At
Lawrence and Maynard they smashed with all
they had on the tenth day Of the strike. In the
coming strike struggles we must clearly antici-
pate these new tactics OF the bosses and prepare

QUESTIONS AND
ANSWERS

Question: comrade says 1.-THE comrades be-
lieving that capitalism will never recover out OF
such a crisis as the present are opportunists."
1 don't believe It'll. G., Syracuse.
It is incorrect to say that the present crisis
is hopeless for the capitalists. Lenin says, at
times revolutionists attempt to prove that crisis
is absolutely hopeless but this is a mistake.
There are no absolutely hopeless situations" ITO
attempt to prove in advance the existence OF
absolute" hopelessness, would be empty pedan-
try or to play in conceptions and words The
real proof in such questions can only be prac-
tice, experience"
Capitalism cannot be overthrown without great
struggles without the revolutionary training
and organization of the working class led by the
Communist Party. This is our job. It depends
upon our getting down to everyday work, lead
ing the every day struggles, organizing, and pre-
pairing the masses, whether or not capitalism will
be overthrown.
If we say that capitalism is in a hopeless con-
dition, then we are apt to stop struggling and
organizing the workers and oppressed farmers
and just wait for capitalism to collapse. We
would never win the revolution this way. The
capitalists are constantly trying to lull sections
of the masses to sleep and to suppress the move
ment of the oppressed
OF course it is always necessary to know and
analyze the strength and weaknesses of the en-
emes' forces as we'll as our own. But we must
get busy with greater energy and prove by our
actions that we know how to carry on and win
the revolutionary struggle aginst capitalism. 1t
is only when we have proven it by successful
revolution that we can loo back and say that
capitalism was in such bad shape that the de-
cisive disciplined offensive of the working class
was able to defeat it. We cannot say this before
our action has proven it. to be true.

COOKING MACARONI.
RICE

ITALIANS look askanee at maca-
roni cooked according to the
usual American method. The chief
objection is that it is too soft. So
most Oriental folk haven't much
use for rice cooked in this country.
Ii is too soft. And one authority
on cookery suggests that the Ori-
entail taste for less softly cooked
rice is a good one-since rice that
Is not so soft has TO be chewed
more thoroughly-and is hence
more thoroughly digested.
Yet it is one of the first prinei-
pies-in the food lore of most
Amerieans-that starches of all
sorts must be thoroughly cooked.
One world-famous authority on
child diet set down the rule that
riee-as well as oatmeal, hominy
and wheaton grits = should be
cooked three hours in a double
boiler in order to be easily digest
ed. In fact, one of the trials of
the up-to-date mother is the long
cooking process supposedly re-
quired by most of the cereals given
to children.
