leadership to discourage mass activity. At
time when 5000 to 5000 workers were marching
every day or two on the county jail to demon
strate at the preliminary hearings of our
rested comrades, our comrades in jail deliber
ately discouraged such demonstrations, holding
that to continue them would Interfere with
mass picket lnes!"
There has been an entirely insufficient
theological campaign against tendencies towards
individual terrorism. Almost no attention has
been paid to the organization of mass defense
groups and action. AS the struggle continues,
the danger of individual terroristic actions will
greatly increase and will become a very real
danger to the strike. 1t is necessary TO smash
this tendency now and to explain clearly and
simply our tactics Of mass defense. 1t is even
more necessary to insure the actual organization
and proper functioning of defense groups
Resulting directly from our failure to involve
the masses of strikers in strike activities, is the
relatively narrow leadership of the strike The
initiative and instinct for organization inherent
in the masses has not been released. The lead
ership remains narrow cadre of leading people
with the masses of strikers inactive. The local
strike committees relief committees, defense
committees, are altogether too small and too
narrow in character.
Here it is necessary to say a word about the
whole question of united front tactics as en-
ployed in the Kentucky strike think it is safe
to say that not single Kentucky miner thor
oughly understands just what our united front
tactic is and how it is to be applied The re-
suit is that strikers not members of the National
Miners Union, and rank and file strikers who
are active workers but still members Of the
United Mine Workers of America, are not drawn
into the leadership of the strike, arc not drawn
into the day to day strike activities
Almost without exception, strike committees
and other leading organs of the struggle are
made up exclusively of N. M. U. members. The
dangers OF this course are obvious. The re-
sponsibility for it rests not on the shoulders of
our Kentucky comrades, but on the shoulders
OF our more experienced comrades in the field
who have not sufficiently explained the basis
and necessity for building firm united front
of organized and unorganized

ment.
The theory of "the lesser evil" plays con-
siderable role here. Thousands of strikers will
declare that the present authorities are strike
breakers, but still look forward hopefully to a
change of administration after the next cleo
tom 1t is necessary now to find the ways and
means 10 expose the government as a whole,
and TO carry on relentless struggle against any
manifestations of this theory.
This means not only the systematic exposure
of every strike-breaking activity of every state
and county official, but also the daily driving
home of the fact that the government is not
strike breaker because of the people who are in
office, but rather that these people act as strike
breakers because they are part of the capitalist
government.
What the failure to bring forward our Party
has cost us in the politcalization of the struggle
will be dealt with later.
PopuIarize Demands
While on the one hand We have failed to suf-
fciently politicalize the struggle, on the other
hand we have failed to sufficiently popularize
the demands Of the strike. Particularly at the
present stage of the struggle where partial set

Mass Activities.
Due largely to the extreme terror, the deep
rooted tradition Of individual action among the
Kentucky miners and the lack of adequate lead
ership in the field, we have failed to develop
with the exception of half dozen notable in
stances, mass activities in the strike Since the
first days of the strike there have been no real
mass picket lines, 10 real mass marches invol-
wing hundreds of miners on the working mines
At the same time we have failed even more
completely to draw the women and children into
mass activity and to break down shy resistance
to their participation in strike activities
There has even appeared tendencies in the

In the meantime, the especially severe crisis
on the railroads with the drop in railroad Sc
Cur1ties, brought about very difficult financial
problem for the capitalists. Railroad securities
amounting nominally to $4,000 900 are the
financial foundation for the leading insurance
companies and financial trusts "a new form of
financial swinding institutions developed dur
ing the past period of "prosperity"). The drop
in the values OF these securities threatened
bankruptcy for the insurance companies The
insurance companies, likewise, are large holders
of farm and city mortgages. The value OF these
mortgages has dropped over $1O0O0,OOo000 ac-

HOW TO HAVE A HEALTHFUL NEW
 YEAR

Asked to suggest a New Years resolution for good health pr. Ernest H. Lines, Chief Medical Director, New York Life Insurance Company listed seven magic" precepts to be followed:
 1. Moderation in all things, in work, in play and in eating
 2. Regularity in daily routine-regular hours for work for play, for rest
 B. Slow up-reduce the stress and strain of modern life-lve at slower tempo.
 f. Avoid overweight.
 S. Avoid correct chronic irritations
 G. Have thorough physical examination at least a year.
 T. Seek medical attention promptly when ill., ness occurs.
 "The number 'seven'," concluded Dr. Lines, has long been regarded as having special mystical significance or was thought to indicate perfection These seven rules of health may not result in per- lection but if followed they will bring to the average person closer approximation to it. It would make 1892 for most of Healthy and a Happy New Year"

Alien Tide Ebbs.
(Seattle Times.)


 As result of restrictive laws, America no longer has the responsibility for Europe's problem of over- population. The number of immigrants for the calendar year 1881 will be the lowest for century The trend is steadily downward and we are able in a large measure, to select the aliens who come here under the quotas established for the different countries.
 Until the law put up barrier, immigrants ar- rived at ports at the rate of more than a million year. In 1913 for instance, the total was 1,387,318, while for the current calendar year the number will be approximately 43,OO0. In his annual report Secretary of Labor Doak says that immigration is no longer economic menace. Since nearly all aliens who to establish homes in the United States potential wage earners, their presence here in unlimited numbers would cause an oversupply of classes of labor and increase unemployment
 The immigrtion laws designed to protect the social and political structure of American civilization from persons who here with strange, new doctrines of government and who ad- vocate the destruction of the institutions which regard as essential to our progress a people, whether native born naturalized During the last fiscal year more than 18,000 aliens deported; many of them were radicals affiliated with organi- zations which advocate the overthrow of Gov ernment by force and violence.
 It is a sad reflection people that the task of getting rid of undesirable aliens is made hard by un-American organizations of Ameri- can citizens They constant in their defense of seditious activities, and contend that aliens have the inherent right to here and foment revolution. However, making progress and the oftener the unpatriotic organizations ap- pear in public places the less influence they exert

IMMIGRATION RESTRICTION.

In another place on this page is an editorial from the Seattle Times that seems to point "lth pride to the circumstance that immigration to the United States last year was only 430O0 while 18OOO aliens were deported from the country. This would leave a net gain in population through immi- grafton of only 25O00 and that does not take into account those who returned to Europe voluntarily
 In the last mail came to The Empire rom the Immigrtion Reform League a suggested editorial complaining that the new Democratic House ol Representatives has superseded Chairman of the Committee on Immigration Representative Albert Johnson of New York, ultra restrctionist, with Representative Samuel Dickstein of New York, who is against restriction of immigration"
 The Empire believes that immigration restric- ton and regulation have gone wild in this country The circumstance that immigration has been re- duced from nearly 1,400,000 to 43000 in less than twenty years and deportations have increased many fold is not evidence of growth and development. The years of Americas greatest development were those when we gained population through immigra- tion
 The policy of tariffs so high that they nave restricted trade and that of curtaing the home market through immigration restriction has been disastrous It has resulted in forcing American manufacturers to establish branches in foreign countries where they give employment to foreign labor that must be fed and clothed with foreign products instead of by American factories and farms We have adopted the policy of employing foreign labor on their own soil in Canada and Europe rather than bringing foreigners here to work and consume our products. We building up foreign business and foreign population and starving our own industries and farms
 grevious fault with the tariff and other fiscal policies in force in the United States is their artificality Instead of permitting water to run down grade we have been forcing it into un- natural channels. We have built up an artificial structure that is tumbling on heads
 We have invited and are getting in full measure retalatory tariffs that are driving American manu- facures out foreign trade Instead of inviting the best people of foreign countries to come here and work and eat American food and wear American clothes our capital is compelled to find foreign employment and to employ foreigners on their own land
 Our whole immigration policy has been wrong in principle and injurious in practice We refuse to skilled men of high character. We only admit i'm migrants who do not know what they are going to do when they land. Instead of letting in the man who has job before he comes who would immediately begin to function as self-supporting resident and soon become good citizen we let in those who congregate in congested sections and be- come political and industrial agitators.
 Let us hope that Chairman Dicksten might be able to correct lot of things before we condemn him account of opposition to the pernicous policies that have been controlling in the past.

Motor Toll of Wild Life.
(St. Louis Globe-Democrat.)

Sportsmen rejoice the extension of paved highways So game haunts in the wilder parts of various States but the rate at which wild life is meeting death and injury these roads has alarmed game conservationistS.
 Records show that extent of highway less than four miles long in of Pennsylvania's game preserves 52 deer gray fox bear six ruffled grouse, 196 rabbits and unknown number of song birds and other small birds killed by auto mobiles in single year. Though the speed of motor cars is greater than that of other recognized ene mics of wild life, it nevertheless remarkable that auto victims should reach great a number among these wary animals accustomed to detect and evade the presence of all dangers. The ex- planaton is that most of them killed at night. They seem to be fascinated by the headlights of the car and halt on the highway, with all the evil dences of being blinded, and so are run down. It has been found that if the lights of auto are shut off for moment deer or other animal transfixed with fright the road ahead will gen. erally recover from it's paralysis almost instantly and bound away The suggestion is made by a To- comove engineer who in that way has often avoided running animals the track and should be adopted by all autoists in game districts.

A Hero Dies.

 Monuments to the political and martial makers of our history stand pedestals throughout the land. Space should be reserved for monuments to the heroes of science who suffer and die in the unsung on disease and premature death. Such hero has died
 He Alfred Seymour Reinhart, of Dorchester, la N-year-old graduate student in Harvard Medical School. While boy Reinhart learned that he was doomed to die of heart disease. Immediately he counted off his days and began his researches with his own body his subject He graduated with honors, entered medical school, specialized in the heart.
 One day he saw upon his arm the bright red patches that warn the patient that he has just four months more to live Shutting himself in tiny hospital room, Reinhart began a minutely subjective study upon his own body He recorded every symptom, noted every physical reaction death crept towards his heart
 Despite my pain." he recorded in his note book, T am hesitant about taking the drug because it would cloud whatever abdominal symptoms were present and would make the diagnoses difficult " He then arranged for post-mortem study of his body and closed his book of life.
