larly interesting. Why "Roosian Reds?" There
are Reds" the popular name for Communists
IN nearly every country in the world WHY do
they pick out RooSian Reds for the main at
tack? 1t is because they think that the Ken
lucky miners have not learned of the heroic
struggle of the Russian workers, because thav
think that they can keep the truth from the
Kentucky miners about the great achievements
OF the Russian workers, under the leadership of
the Communist Party.
In Russia the workers have overthroVn Cant
taliSm, ended the possibility of such conditions
as exist in the coal fields of Kentucky. In
Russia, now called the Soviet Union, the work
ers rule While in every capitalist country in
the Worlo land the Kentucky miners have the
best example of it, workers starve to death, in
Russia (the Soviet Union) there is no unem-
ployment. On the contrary, the workers build
ing up new society, without the coal operators
class, are constructing new industries, new
homes new life.
Congressman Rainey, Democratic leader in
Congress- few days said: TN Russia they ere
building more than all of The rest of the rorld
combined. They are constructing 5000 siiles of
new railroad track We (the bosses. in the
United States) are tearing up ours"
All these achievements are the result of the
leadership of the Communist Party of the Soviet
Union, the Stalwart leader of the workers that
overthrow capitalism there and is now leading
the drive in the construction of new order in
which the workers rule and build
The Communist Party in the U. S. A.
In the United States when the present econo-
mic crisis began in the latter part of 1929, the
Communist Party was the first to rally the unem-
ployed for struggle. Millions of workers followed
the lead of the Communist Party. 1t was through
the struggles of the unemployed that some relief
was obtained, and it is now the struggle of the
unemployed, under the leadership of the Com
munist Party, that is the driving force in the
struggle for unemployment insurance
There is not enough space here to take up all
the fights against wage cuts initiated under the
leadership of the Communist Party While the
United Mine Workers of America and its parent
organization, the American Federation of Labor
were making agreements with President Hoover
with the U. S. Steel, with Henry Ford with
Samuel Insul, not to strike against wage cuts the
Communist Party, through its members in the
Trade Union Unity League, and the National
Miners Union, was mobiizing the workers for
strike struggles.
1t is as the result of the greatest of these
struggles, the strike of the Pennsylvania and
Ohio miners that the present organization of the
~ NA " SLEW up Lie N M " leu Glle SITlh6 Vi
10000 miners in Pennsylvania, Ohio and West
Virginia against wage cuts. Organizers we're sent
to Kentucky, and from then on began the Or
ganization in the Kentucky coal fields that has
brought CONSERVATION to the coal operators, and
new strength to the coal miners in their fight
against starvation.
Sheriff Blair and the Daily Worker
Why is it. for instance, that Sheriff John
J1a- ILL.,
Daily Worker? 1t is because the Daily Worker
is the central organ of the Communist Party,
and it has been the Daily Worker which has
been one of the powerful instruments in welding
the National Miners Union and preparing the
present strike
Every miner in Harlan and Bell County who
reads the Daily Worker, does not need to be
told this is his paper that it fights his battles,
that it has been the only paper that has in
formed the miners about the real state of things
in Kentucky and has shown the way out.
The Communist Party will continue its re-
lentless struggle against the whole pack of
starvation dealing and murderous coal operators
and their gun thugs sending its best and most
tried leaders into the Kentucky into the National
Miners Union because these leaders are veterans
of the struggle of the workers against capitalism
Build the Communist Party in Kentucky
The building of the Communist Party will be
the best guarantee that the coal operators will
meet with the strongest resistance against pro-
gram of hunger, will lay the basis in Ken
lucky for rallying the workers for the final
struggle against the whole rotten system Of cap
italism which is responsible for the starvation
OF the Kentucky miners along with their brothers
throughout the United States. 81 r--r
