Gold Rush on in Mort hern Canada

Far North TO obtain the precious
ore.
There is possibility, in view of
the extreme Importance of radium
to the world. that the government
may take over the deposits. But
just now the chief problem is how
to get 1t out-there being no rail-
way and the trail being too long
and hard for carriage otherwise
than by airplane. And the capacity
Of alrplanes to carry heavy ores is
very limited.
The deposits are al La Bine
Point, Great Bear lake. Hugh A.
Spence, mineral technologist of the
Dominion department of mines at
Ottawa, has examined the deposits
and pronounced them very valuable.
Discovery was made In the spring
of 1890 by Gilbert La Blne and con-
siderable work has been done In
opening.
AT present values, ore could cas-
lily meet the cost of shipment to rail,
which is S400 a ton. Improved
transportation facilities, however,
will have to be provided II serious
production is to be obtained. A
small gasoline boat drawing a ten
ton scow is the best available meth
cd of transportation across Great
Bear lake (and via the Great Bear
river) to Norman. on the Mackenzie
river waterway. and ore has to be
handled several times. Railhead
Is at Waterways. Alberta.

An explorer tells a story which
he wishes you to believe Is true.
He says he received message
from a wealthy woman who was
stranger to him, saying that under
certain conditions she was willing
to contribute to proposed expedi-
tion, and asking him to come to see
her. AS expeditions always need
financing, the explorer hastened to
keep the appointment. The woman
asked whether he really was go
ing a considerable distance from
civilization. He told her he was.
She then wanted to know whether,
If she made a substantial contribu-
tion, she could name an addition to
the party. The explorer told her It
might be arranged and asked for
the proposed member.
"It's my husband. said the wom-
an. "If you keep him away year.
[ will subscribe $4,000. If you are
away two years, will double it."
II came away from there" said
the explorer. 81 was afraid that
if she raised the ante much more.
I would find myself guaranteeing
that he would be permanent alb
sentee."
Senator George H. Moses says
that the finest definition of the word

United States senator making
speech"
Every time / pass a corner of
Fifth avenue and Forty-fourth

the room upstairs where Charley
Murphy used to hold conferences
with his political lieutenants, and
the cafe downstairs where you al
ways were likely to find some one
you knew. The late Harvey Hen
dricks, who gave so much money to
various scientific projects had a
house almost across the street. He
did not live there. He lived in an
apartment on Park avenue. but
there were a half dozen old serv-
ants in the house and every once

How Low Can Wages Go?

workers unless mass resistance Is organized, was
indicated in recent speech by Myron c. Taylor,
head Of the finance committee of the United
States Steel Corporation.
Speaking in Boston on March "a, 1882, Mr..
Taylor pictured gloomy future for capitalism,
and he made no bones about the fact that the
worker would have to stand the brunt. There
will be "a redistribution Of work and readjust-
ment of living conditions throughout the coun
try" he said. REIMBURSEMENT" in the language
of the capitalists remember the REIMBURSEMENT"
of wages in 1921-2O means a lowering Of living
conditions. He points out that a great number

in Niles, Ohio.
cit is difficult to See," said Mr.. Taylor, "1how
in the present situation the large numbers that
have migrated to the cities can all be given work
at fair compensation"
But it is not only in the steel districts or in
other basic industries, that the capitalists are
experimenting with the coolie standard of living
for the American workers. In Tulsa, Oklahoma,
it is with great pride that the Tulsa County
Medical Society announces that 10000 people

The Tulsa County Medical Society declares that
workers fed on these ratons can work just as
hard as any other workers, and this already
gives the Tulsa business men" the cue as to the
level of wages.
AS an example of the Luxurious" diet for the
workers, Mr. Leavell points out that skim milk
is bought in powdered form, costing on the
average Of 8-l0 Of cent quart That this is
a deadly form Of taking milk doesn't seem to

TOMRADE Arnter can best be characterized as
Va Party man whose life has been bound up
with his Party activity. His loyalty and devo-
ton has served as an inspiration to workers
in every field and district in which he has
worked The greatest part of his life was bound
up with the carrying out Of mass work in the
Revolutionary movement. He sreves as an ex-
ample of Bolshevik tenacity.
He was born in Colorado OF pioneer parents
who emigrated to the United States more than
IS years ago. This pioneer spirit, which he
gained from living on the ranches in the West,
reflected itself in his future work in the Party,
fearlessness, willingness to fight in spite of all
difficulties, and to show an example to the
comrades and workers with whom he has
worked.
At an early age he was forced to work at
various occupations, such as in cigar factroy,
errand boy, messenger, and various other tasks
In 1902 he joined the Socialist party OF Den
Iver Colorado, and there played a very active
role A few years after his entrance into the
Socialist party he transferred to the German
Social-Democratic party, and there became an
active propagandist He participated in vari-
GUS phases of Party work until short period
prior to the outbreak Of the World War;

situation the large number that have migrated
to the cities can all be given work"
The only meat the Tulsa workers get is cheap
grown beef (the embalmed beef of the Spanish
American war; ground and mixed with lean
pork trimmings"
This as Norman Thomas would say Gas he did
over the radio supporting the New York Block
Aid" system) is "relief, which is, the whole
being as well and humanely administered rs
funds permit"
The condition of the great mass of unemployed
workers. their starvation, is directly related to
the standard of living Of the workers still hold
ing jobs or those on part time. The lower the
level Of starvation of the unemployed, the closer
to the scents a day level the capitalists can
force the employed, the more powerfully does the
condition Of the unemployed become a drag on
the standard Of living Of the whole working
class.
The main goal Of the capitalists is TO force
the standard of living of the workers, precisely
in the period of sharpening crisis, to the lowest
conceivable level, and that has already been
indicated by the Niles and Tulsa experiments"
This shows more and more the necessity of
the unity of the employed and unemployed in
the struggle against wage cuts, in the fight for
unemployment insurance, against starvation and
the coolies standards being widely studied" by
the relief workers" AS Marx pointed out the
only way for the workers to stop the drastic
slash in wages during period Of crisis is by
unity Of the employed and unemployed in strug
gle "Cohsion between the employed and I'M
employed necessarily disturbs this 'unalloyed
operation Of this law" (the showing down of
wages and the increased exploitation of the
workers in periods of crisis.
The capitalists on more than one occasion
officially thanked the A. F. of L. officialdom for
doing all it could to prevent mass resistance to
the new American standard of living" in the
manner of Niles and Tulsa, and with the crisis
entering new and sharper phases, with the past
wage cuts merely whetting the appetite of the
capitalists, unless the workers mobilize for deter
mined resistance the way is open for the most
drastic lowering of the living conditions Of the
American workers.

World War, and carried on bitter fight
against the social patriots and against the social
betrayers under the leadership of Hillquit.
He was one of the founders Of the Commun-
list Party, and since that time has played an
active and leading role in all the struggles that
the Party conducted. In 1920, he became the
New York organizer Of the underground Com
munist Party At the same time, he was also
the leader OF the unemployed movement both
locally and nationally. In 1921, together with
A. Jakura, he was arrested and imprisoned for
Party activities.
When the famine took place in Soviet Rus
STA, he played leading role in organizing re-
lief through the Friends of Soviet Russia in the
United States. He then became the secretary
Of the national Red Aid.
In 1923, he gas called upon by the Party TO
servea s its representative in the Executive
Committee or the Communist International
From 1925 to 1929, he was the district or
ganizer TO Chic. 1t was in this district that he
played the leading role in organizing the en-
shaved rubl er workers of Akron, giving leader

Comrade Amter always fought for the line Of
the Communist International, and schooled his
co-workers in understanding the necessity G.
accepting the leadership Of the World Party,
the Comintern and of the Central Committee.
Lovestone had great illusions as to the posi-
biities of getting the basic proletarians Of this
district for the support of his counter-revolu-
tionary line. When the Communist Interna-
tional together with the Central Committee Of
our Party acted in a decisive manner TO ex-
clude these renegades, the Communist Party Of
the Ohio district, lined up unanimously behind
the Party These workers were not given caucus
leadership but were given Communist leader
ship, and therefore in true proletarian FASH
ion rejected these concealed enemies of the
working class.
In 1929, Comrade Amter was called to the
New York district to serve as the district Or
ganizer He was a member of the March 6
delegation which symbolized turning point in
the struggle for unemployment insurance. and
for this activity he served six-months sem
tence, and even at the present time is still I'M
der parole for this charge
Comrade Amter stands out as a symbol Of
mass work, shop work and unflinching loyalty
TO the Party 1t is in this sense that we cele-
brate his 50th birthday. To many, the 50th
birthday means the end of Party activities but
to our New York district organizer, 1t is only
a beginning. His 50th birthday must serve as

and kept him in Jail night before he was re-

but under what is called technical arrest.
That is to say they were handcuffed and
chained to their beds during their stay in the
hospital from Monday night till Friday after
noon. Under the terms of the writ Of habeas
corpus obtained by Maurice Sugar on wednes-
day, all arrested persons were supposed to be re-
leased without charges and without bond not
later than Thursday. These three were taken
from the hospital Friday-and instead of being
released were taken to Detroit police head
quarters and fngerprinted. Then the Dearborn
police were called and the patrol took them to

How low can the American capitalists cut
WageS2
The bosses are now experimenting with the
lives of tens of thousands of unemployed to see
how cheaply a worker can live and work to pro-
duce profits for the boss
The results prove to the capitalists that the
American workers can be forced to live on coole
rations If there is no mass resistance
In Miles, Ohio, 4,377 people, one-fourth Of the
entire population, lives on AZ cents day, or at
the rate of ~ cents a meal. The capitalist
press refers to this as an achievement and as
solution of the unemployment relief problem.
There is note of exultation in the following
Associated Press dispatch from Niles, Ohio
IN. Y. Times, March %, 1892:
This steel city of $4,000 population is feed
ing one-fourth of its residents, officials say,
at the rate of about 81 month each, or 119
cents meal, believed to be the lowest rates
in the country for feeding the unemployed
"Relief workers from other cities have come
to learn how the unemployed here can be fed
SO cheaply."
1t is not only question of driving the star
walton rations of the unemployed to 11a cents &
meal-an object lesson that is arousing the adj
miration Of the relief workers" of other cities
an achievement that Chang Kai Shek even
cannot boast of-but the result will show in the
standard Of living of the employed workers.
