Logan. manager Of the of Wells Elk
horn Coal Co went so,far as to admit
to the writer that the United Mine
Workers would not be so bad-but OH,
thoseh Communist organizations, that
National Miners Union was just too
intolerable Cfor the boss.
Bosses Fear NNIU
Says he: "They (the NJ. NJ. U. are
not interested in just a wage raise.
a wave Of wage raises and the final
overthrow of capitalism is their main
objective. "Well in the Soviet Union
there is a wave of wage raises and
complete harmony with the Govern
ment WIN? Because the workers con-
troll the Government and the Govern
ment controls everything else. So,
workers Of the U. s., what move do
you want? Capitahsm's leaders admit
that the Communist Party is your
Party, working for the complete an
Inhalation Of your enemies. And
since it cannot be bought they dread
it. They know there is only one
chance in a million to wipe 1t out,
and that is through a combined war
upon the masses. To be plain about
it there is no chance to wipe It out.
The capitalist is simply overawed at
the gaining influence of Communism
that he just imagines there is a
chance. If on the other hand the
masses will awake to their dire nee
essity Of organization they can and
will make a quick end of capitalism.
Strike while the iron is hot. Press
onward while the pressing is good.
We admit; the capitalists admit,
that the Communist Party is a Party
to be reckoned with-because it is
against capitalism and all that cap
itaism represent. SO what other
proof do you need Of the sincerity
of their purpose.
Must Throw off Boss Poison
I have heard many many queries
about the sincerity of the Commu-
mist Party: Are they sincere? Are
they above selling out on the workers?
We in capitalist America are hard
ened by the eternal vigilance Of the
capitalist educational system that
pounds the false doctrines of private
ownership and private incentive into
our children, so that when they grow
up, they are so blinded that they
are in complete ignorance Of the
truth. 1t is in that state which we
find the workers, always mistrustful
knowing of course that they have
never got fair deal out of life from
no source, they are skeptical of a
party hitherto unknown.
Workers of America, shed that old
'fossey" bashful feeling Of distrust
and get busy. In every respect the
Communist Party measures up to its
purpose; that f defending the work
ers. In every respect the Communist
Party is the first one to back up your
demands of a right to decent wage
scale. In every case their affiliate
organizations are the first on the
field with relief and defense of YOU.
You have squandered generations
and generations Of young manhood
and Womanhood to the cause of
capitalism and what have you TO
show. Like two workers heard be-
meath the shadow of Los Angeles
movie colony. One remarked to the
other that labor had fought (of
course he meant under the false A.
F. L. years for one loaf, and per-
haps if they fought another 5000
years they would get two loaves. But
replied the other, Maybe, brother,
the world is waking up, something
is going to happen-something has to
happen, something will happen damn
soon. And they were seen to march
over to a street meeting being con-
Quoted by Communist speaker. So
comrades 1 am one Of you, I too was
once a "fathead" I had imbibed
heavily Of the poison dope peddled
by our institutions of so-called
learning. Let us be convinced and
let US convince others that the time
for grand awakening is only in
the offing, and that it is our duty
to press onward to free liberty
