pity no one in Chicago has dedi-
Gated himself to the task of maxi
ing a day-tO-day chronicle of this
tremendous event.
Brown Squire told me two anec-
dotes that revealed like lightning
this world of new history.
TWO STORIES.
At one eviction the cops arrived
and began beating the comrades.
They fought back as best they
could, all the time csrting back
furniture, piece by piece. Most Of
the furniture was covered with
workers blood
II tell you that poor mans wife
must have had lot of scrubbing
to do that night. My own blood
spilled over a table and dresser;
never did think I could bleed so
much. But we kept right on, and
got that furniture i'm
Courage.
Another anecdote:
There was a Communist demon-
stration and some republican po-
litician ran in his truck with all his
signs in an effort to utilize the DEM
onstration to advertise his candi-
dacy. The workers forced the ball
lyhoo truck from the scene, at the
same time tearing some of the
signs down. When the truck re-
turned, another scuffle took place
in which one of the Negroes who
had sent this truck raced out and
shot a white comrade named Mad
den. Three months later, when 1
met him, Madden's arm was still
paralyzed.
The Negro comrades rushed out,
found the thug, and gave him the
beating of his life. The cops ar
rived and saved him, arresting, of
course, not this wilful republican
murderer, but Squire Brown and
another worker.
That night in the cell this COM
rade said to Squire:
HAVE COME
A LONG WAY"

fought with guns in the race riots.

alize what we two did today? We

The Negro workers of Chicago

their race, and they have come a

WHAT VOTING
COMMUNIST MEANS

WHAT VOTING
COMMUNIST MEANS
Bread, opportunity and security
to the man who is willing to work
has always been held out to AM
orleans as their inheritance. The
business men and the system which
they operate has been unable to
give, though it has often promised,
these gifts to the hundred million
people of America. This the Com
munist Party proposes to give them.
And in addition, it offers them the
opportunity for increasing leisure,
enjoyment and participation in the
life of the mind which is impossible
in America under the starvation
economy of today The industrial
achievements of Russia under the
Soviet Union are remarkable, but
they are nothing compared with the
turning of a whole nation to an
interest in science and literature
and the arts. This is the less known
but the more important part of the
famous five year plan" and of the
other plans to follow.
The Europeans who crossed to
this country and became Americans
were confident that their own labor
power and the natural wealth of
America could give each of them
work, opportunity and security.
Those three things they did not
regard as Utopian. And they we're
right. Today, not only does great
natural wealth remain in the
United States, but a great plant
has been built capable of employing
every one and giving him decent
life.
The descendants of those early
Americans and the ones who came
later are numerous and strong.
They intend to enter into their
inheritance. In Russia, a back
ward and a much poorer country
industrially, the workers and farm
ers who have taken over their own
country, already have jobs and
bread, and the beginnings of a
great life. In America, where the
industrial plant is already built,
and where there is an unfulfilled
tradition of freedom, the job will
be done much faster and more
readily.
am voting for William z. Foster
and James w. Fore, the Commu-
mist candidates, because l do not
think that United States of jobs,
bread, leisure, and culture a utopian
or fantastic program. There are
Utopians in this country however.
They are the bankers and indus
trialists and all others who still
believe that Americans can be
talked, cheated, or tear-gassed out

Concluded From Yesterday

Concluded From Yesterday
Last winter, the relief funds for
the city of Chicago were exhausted
half way through the winter. -Four
hundred thousand men, women and
children faced starvation if no new
funds could be found. The Com
munistS led a march of the people
in the streets of Chicago demand
ing relief. A few days later, it was
appropriated by the state govern
ment. The legislators said they
feared more Communist riots, if the
bill was not passed. The march
was not riot, it was an orderly
mass demand for food, but the
marchers were in earnest. Only a
few were reds" they we're the
most courageous of the workers,
who had the nerve to organize the
march, and make the demand They
won it.
The Communist vote in this
country will be the vote of men and
women who are in earnest about
their jobs and food this winter
And they will win relief as the
100000 in Chicago won it last
winter.
THE NEGRO
ISSUE
The group of Americans who
have suffered most in this depres-
sion are the Negroes. In the fac
tories they are VIGOROUSLY the "last
hired, first fired" Virtual peonage
exists on the millions of share
cropper" farms in the south. In
the black belt, the Negro vote" is
joke. The Communist Party ac-
tually treats the Negro as he is
supposed to be treated under the
American Constitution, without
discrimination as to race or color"
They have nominated one of the
race as their candidate for Vice
President of the United States, and
they propose in their campaign an
abolition of all discrimination,
racial, economic, and social, against
the American Negro.
Jobs and bread now, for all who
need them-that is my first reason
for voting the Communist ticket.
But, secondly, am voting to make
America a decent place to live in.
What kind of country can the
Communists make it
First a country with "a job for
everybody--as in Russia today
with full rate of wages paid by
industry and the state during
periods of unemployment.
Second, a country with security
the basic thing the American inn
migrant-and every American was
once an immigrant to Am
erica for: security against sickness,
security for old age, security for
children.
Third, country with opportu-
nifty, What kind? Not to make prof

Letters from
Our Readers
WORKERS ARE READY

Newport, R. I.
Dear Comrades:
For a long time I have been do
ing active Party work, and have
come in contact with scores of
workers at different times. These
include unemployed carpenters,
painters, etc. What puzzles me most
is that in spite of all this depres-
sion there is relatively little radical
sentiment among these men. In
fact the depression seems to make
them more antagonistic to the
message and program of our Party.
For instance, many workers are
disguised when l emphasize the
Communist doctrines, and they say
that we are just taking advantage
of hard times to fool working men
into following us. This is what they
tell me when 1 ask them how can
they support capitalism when there
is SO much unemployment, misery
and suffering among the working
claSS.-B. L.
Editors Note-The writer of this
letter is wrong in his analysis.
There is pronounced radicaliza-
ton of workers throughout the
United States, who are feeling
more and more the results of the
bosses hunger program. If the COM
rade will come to them with con-
crete proposals, he will find these
workers ready to struggle. If he
comes to the workers with definite
proposals instead of merely general
agitation, for a fight against spec
ific grievances, he will undoubtedly
in the course of concrete action, get
the workers better to understand
and fight for the overthrow of cap

THE CITY WAGE CONTRI-
FL, !WT BUTTON > >,sM2

VI The papers kee5 referring to the tenn
porary wage contribution as pay cut.
r ~ The term is only half correct-if that
much. 1t is true that it is not technically
voluntary contribution inasmuch as the
action was taken by the common council,
but the offer of the city employees to make
the contribution was virtually unanimous
and in that sense it is voluntary. ss~
asT' 1t reduces the pay of the employees re-
ceiving over $1,000 year; reduces it by 10
per cent for the time being. But it is not
permanent. The difference between this and
regular pay cut-which the non-Socialists
kept adyocating-is that the basic rate of
pay remains. When the depression is over,
the old pay will be reinstated.

STRATEGY DURING
TRANSITION

On his arrival in Patrograd April
16, 1917, Lenin enunciated the prin-
ciples and tactics which guided the
strategy and action of the Bolshe-
viks during the transition from the
bourgeois revolution in March to
the proletarian revolution in No
vember. These theses are contained
in The Tasks of the Proletariat in
Our Revolution Q5c)
At the All-Russian Congress of
the BolSheviks in May april, old
calendar, under the leadership of
Lenin, all the tasks and problems
in connection with developing the
revolution to its second stage, the
proletarian revolution, are ham,
mered out and the basic policies Of
the Bolsheviks towards this end
are definitely formulated. The
speeches of Lenin at this confer
ence are contained in The April
Conference (20c).
Complete economic collapse and
famine threatened Russia. Lenin
proposed revolutionary measures TO
meet this situation-control of pro-
duction and distribution of prod
ucts by organizations arising from
the masses. To completely save the
country from economic ruin Lenin
showed that power must pass into
the hands Of the workers supported
by the poorest peasantry, and only
then could the national economy
be organized for the benefit of the
people The slogan of the Five Year
Plan, to "catch up with the adj
vanced countries and surpass them
also economically, was already
formulated by Lenin at this time.
His writings on this ol-b,act are
contained in The r. NJ Ca.

TWO VITAL
QUESTIONS

AS it became certain tbs The de-
cisive struggle for power was quick
ly approaching, those vino claimed
to be close to the Bolsheviks warn
ed them against 'endangering the
revolution, and raised two ques-
tons; Will the Bolsheviks dare to
attempt to seize power and if they
do and succeed in taking power,
will they be able to hold it? Lenin
gives a decisive answer to these
questions and smashes all counter
arguments in Will the BOlseviks
Retain State Power? Q5c).
Lenin's letters to the central
Committee and other leading Boil
shevik bodies written during the.
period of 10 days before the actual
seizure of power, are contained in
On the Eve of October (15c). In
these letters Lenin most persistent
ly urges the actual preparations for
the uprising and fixes the date; he
insists that uprising must be
treated as an art, that plan must
be decided upon, all preparations
made accordingly and carried out
with military precision
No understanding of the Rus
sian Revolution can be complete
unless one reads about it in the
writings of the organizer and lead
er Of the revolution, v. I. Lenin.

Chicago, May 16.-PeThe western

material, and incidentally decide its
track and field championship Friday

The struggle for the title shapes up
as another close one, with Indiana,
Michigan, Ohio State and Illinois, the
top contenders, but interest in the
performances of individuals will over
shadow the team angle in this Olymp-

The standouts for places on the

Smiley Simle, Bismarck's playing
manager, pitched shutout baseball for

Lefty Klein took the mound in the
seventh after Sirnle had injured his
throwing hand. Klein failed to even
get started and walked the first three
batters to face him.
Simle went back into the lineup in
an attempt to pull the game out of
the fire but the Logan county ag-
gregation fell on him for enough safe
bingles to pile up six runs and win
the game by one-run margin.
Lenaburg and Simle carried the

ton annexed two apiece.
Simle struck out 10 batters and
