Both Marx and Lenin poined out
that differences between skilled and
unskilled workers would exist under
socialism after the overthrow of ca
pitalism. The differences will dis
appear only under pure Communism.
The leading groups of skilled work
ers must be deeply rooted in the fac
tories. The only fashion to obtain
this is by increasing wages; by a
wage system which gives skill its due.
Unskilled workers must receive an
incentive to rise into the ranks of
the unskilled workers. There must
be no economy here because this re-
presents the chief way of overcoming
the f1uctuation of labor. Improved
living conditions of the workers is
urgently necessary despite the great
progress already achieved.

She only knew that her mother had died when she was seven; and that her father never spoke of her.
 1 She heard Nicholas groan and she went back to him. She saw his long, lean body in the black dress ing gown that came to his knees; the eyes seemed already sunken, the hair was tumbled and the cheeks showed the bony structure beneath them.
 She kept a pan of water boiling on the methyl heater and as she dipped in the soft silk and applied | it to the swollen hand she remem- bered how many times she had seen her grandmother with just such a small heater beside her. to heat milk when she lay awake 1 late at night. How long ago that was, like another life lived in a dream in the white New England house beside the cranberry bogs. Her grandmother had been dead for ten years.
 "Oh, I must go home!" Nora thought.
 To be dependent on no one but herself, to belong somewhere, to have deep rootsl How she longed for this!
 She had told Julian that their life had been like rushing along in railroad train and looking out of the window to see other people in their homes while having none themselves.
 The nostalgia of the last day cen tered itself in this burning desire Nicholas reused and looked at her

Chapter G A HAPPIER DAWN

Ncra fought to thrust such hor- rible thoughts aside as she heard the moans from the suffering Nich- olas. If it had been herself, she tried to reason, no one would have heard a groan from her.
 Her father was like that, too. He thought he was dying if he had a ccld in the head.
 But ever her troubled mind re- called Dr. Madroni and his gesture of cutting off the injured hand, and the fear that Nicholas might die persisted.
 Her father came in at midnight singing in his thin tenor. She ran to the head of the stairs calling fol him to be quiet. But he continued and she ran down to him ane caught his arm.

 T can't bear this, I tell you, l wont!" he flung out. Haven't you some drug? Give it to me!'
 She gave him the sedative again and watched him sink back on the bed. How these few hours had changed him, his eyes sunken in black pits, his face shadowy and gaunt. He lay with his face turn ed from her, one arm trailing on the floor, his legs sprawled out on the wide, flat bed. From time to time he muttered to himself. Each time he groaned a knife blade clove her breast.
 The room in the flickering light seemed heavy with pain. Pain turk ed in the long shadows the lamp cast against the ceiling. His voice harsh and low spoke out like it's echo.
 Whats the use of it all? Futility. I All futility. Work. Struggle. We're all under death sentence" At length she heard him breath ing evenly; and her head dropped back and she too slept. When she woke it was. almost light. She never forgot that pale dawn, the trees looming gray, then black, against a rosy sky, the grass sparkling, and far below the red cupolas of the city shimmering in the sunrise Nicholas was awake, lying there watching her. He met her eyes almost diffidently.
 She asked, How do you feel?"
 Better. It's painful But bear able. And I'm hungry"
