New Salem Farmer
Builds Trench SilO

New Salem, N. D., Sept. 28.-Fred
Klusman has Just completed trench
silo on his farm. It is the first OF
its kind on the North Dakota Hol-
stein Breeding circuit, according to
H. Buss. superintendent of the New
Salem association.
The silo has capacity of SO tons,
more than enough to carry Klus-
mans herd Of Is head through the
winter.
Klusman estimates he will save 20
per cent by feeding his corn as silage
rather than fodder.
Klusman and his son, Clarence,
following their motto of Gull low
producers and keep a good herd sire"
have improved their herd greatly in
the last five years.
In 1925 this herd had an average
production of 65783 pounds of milk
and 227.5 pounds of butterfat. In
1880 the same herd had an average
production of l0,425.8 pounds of milk
and 1888 pounds of butterfat.

ARTICLE II


The doctrine of "exceptonalism' for Southern
Illinois and for the anthracite-the two districts
where the UMWA still has the check-off and
nominal agreements-is being shattered by the
crisis which finds probably its most severe ex-
preston in the coal industry. 1t was only yes
terday that Western Pennsylvania was con-
sidered an exception" but today the Pittsburgh
Sun-Telegraph (Hearst confesses the bank
ruptcy of the UNdWA (as fighting union) and
admits the rapid growth both of the National
Miners Union and the influence of the Trade
Union Unity League well as the increasing
strength of the Communist Party.
1t said editorially in its issue for July /:

ten in Pittsburgh yesterday From all points
Of the compass they flocked to the city and
paraded through some of the downtown Streets

industry"
They demonstrated that the miners of West
ern Pennsylvania no longer look askance at Com
nunisn1"
sThey demonstrated that they have been
made desperate by suffering"

ers was adamant in its opposition to Commun-
ism as it still is
Preachers of Bolshevism had no appreciable
following in the mining camps of Western
Pennsylvania five years ago"
THE miners had use then for the things
for which the National Miners Union, the Trade
Union Unity League and w z. Foster stand.
They would have for them now if they
had not been made desperate by hardship and
restitution"
The Sun-Telegraph could have added to the
last sentence land the continual betrayals by
the UMWA offcialdom" And it is however,
while the admission of the rehabilitation of
huge section of the working class under the
pressure of the crisis could be improved in for
mutation, it is true that conditions in the coal
fields have produced mass revolt and the Com
munist Party and the National Miners Union of
the TUUL as the only leadership. What the
Sun-Telegraph is begging for is few temporary
conclusions for strikebreaking purposes only!
Marxists do not quarrel that bad economic
conditions produce militant strikes led by revo-
lutionary unions, that slave and starvation con-
ditons produce Communists, although the apol-
ogists for capitalism always think that this is
damning indictment 1t is precisely because
the future of capitalism is bound up with the
present crisis it is precisely because capitalism
now needs to solve the crisis by forcing miners
and other workers to new low levels of living, It

Starvation, Sterilization, and the
Lesson OF Illinois

is precisely because such heroic struggles as
that of the miners places great obstacles in the
way of the capitalists and their government
solving the deepening crisis at the expense OF
the masses, and stimulates the struggle of our
class against the capitalist offensive on the
whole front, that this strike is of such great
Importance.
Such struggles are and can be led only by re-
volutionists and revolutionary unions. In these
struggles the working class learns fast how to
fight its enemies, in these struggles the red
unions grow the strength of the Communist
Party increases, thousands of workers learn
that there is no way out except by revolution
airy struggle-and thus the very life of capital
ism is threatened.
1t is for these reasons that such frantic eff
forts are being made to maintain the UMWA
in Illinois, to revive it in Western Pennsylvania,
West Virginia and Ohio, 1t is for this reason
that such strenuous efforts are being made by
Lewis of the UMWA, Doak, secretary of labor,
the steel trust senator j. j. Davis, by the social
ist party leaders and by Hoover himself, to
unite the capitalist forces in the industry.
Under the guise of curing sick industry"
under the pretense of "abolshing cut-throat
competition" which is blamed for the starvation
and slave conditions forced on the miners and
their families, all the agents of reaction try
ing to find ways and means of "stabilizing" the
industry by establishing the UMWA as the fas-
cist slavedriver for the coal operators, working
with their blessing and under the auspices Of
Wall Street government.
The industry is to be stabilized by deporta-
TONS wholesale jailings, tear bombs, mass shoot
ings clubbngs and murder. With agreements
secured and sanctified by these methods it is
hoped that the UNIV officials will be able to
stem the revolt, break the strike and thereafter
enforce silent slavery.
But the strike in the Orient mines of 1900
members of the UMWA is evidence that even
in its strongholds the UNIWA can no longer con-
troll miners though backed by the state and fed
eral governments. The Orient strike is evidence
that only militant unionism can force conces-
sions from the coal operators it is evidence that
the UNfWA signs agreements to guarantee scab
conditions, that where it "cooperates" with the
coal barons, as in illinois, it condemns miners
to starvation.
The struggle against such forms of stabiza-
ton of the coal industry is only beginning. The
struggle will have its ups and downs but it will
continue with the National Miners Union
through its fighting program and militant mine
committees forcing better conditions from the
coal operators with the center of the whole
struggle the defeat and ousting from the indus
try of the UMWA strikebreaking machine.

File Strike Committee OF the National Miners

Dear Red SparkS:-Do you remember the
statue of Armstrong, organizer of the Anal
gamated Association of Iron, Steel and Tin
Workers in West Park, Pittsburgh? In the old

talk about Armstrong and the uunion.

unemployed alike, marched to West Park in

BY HARRY CANNES

UOW the mperialist masters are preparing now
IL for war under the leadership of the foremost
Wall Street imperialist bankers such as Morgan
e. Company, j. D. Rockefeller, and Andrew w
Mellon, who is now in France forging the anti
Soviet war front can be clearly understood by
looking back to see how these same bankers
plunged the masses into the last world war for
the profit of the financial lords.
We see Mellon now in Paris negotiating the
Hoover Plan" of war debts a plan openly adj
mitted to be a blwark against Communism
Senator Royal q Copeland of New York and
Ambassador Edge in Paris, as we'll as dozens of
other leading nlperialists have openly declared
that war is being prepared against the Soviet
Union The workers can see the capitalist press
filled with war propaganda, the New York Even
ing Post with the historical articles of Knicker-
booker against the Soviet Union is a good ex-
ample but neither an exception nor accident.
The capitalists deliberately direct the propagan-
da in the press for war. How this was done was
told by Congressman Galloway on February g.
1917, and his statement appears on pages 2947-
2948 of the Congressional Record Galloway
pointed out:
I'm March, 1915, the j. P. Morgan interests,
the steel, shpbuilding, and power interests, and
their subsidiary organizations got together IL
men high in the newspaper world and employed
them to select the most influential newspapers
in the United States and sufficient number of
them to control generally the policy of the daily
press of the United States
These u men worked the p-oblem out by
selecting 179 newspapers and then began by an
elimination process to retain those necessary for
the purpose Of controlling the general policy of
the daily press throughout the country an
editor was furnished for each paper to properly
supervise and edit information regarding oues-
tons of preparedness, militarism financial poll
cies and other things Of national and interna-
tional nature considered vital to the interests of
the purchasers"
Today the capitalist press is more highly con-
solidated, and much more closely linked up with
finance capital than it was even at that time.
1t is much easier for Morgan, Hoover Rockefel-
Ter and other bankers interested in preparing
war to put their immediate plans into effect
through the daily capitalist press than ever be-
fore. This accounts for the practically uniform
policy towards Hoovers war debt plan, an open
bid for anti-Soviet war front under the leader
ship of Wall Street
The war propaganda in the capitalist press is
not haphazard or accidental. 1t is directed for
purpose and is controlled by the leading imper-
ialist bankers. The history of the United States
entry into the last World War shows this defin-
itely The American imperialists entered the
war to get their full share of the spoils They
