are languishing in the death house
of Kilby prison, a jury decreed
that two Negroes who are accused
of stealing a silver half dollar
must die in the electric chair.
Robert Strickland and Percy Ir-

train. They are charged with
rtaging a hold-up on the train
total result of which was the fifty
cent piece. The Judge called il
highway robbery and the jury fix
ed the penalty at death. The case
IS now being appealed to the state

that this "inhuman verdict" is 9
part Of a vast conspiracy on the

son answered by saying that he
had been fighting for over IL
years for the gymns and has al
ways been unsuccessful
One of the delegation reminded
Mr.. Anderson that in some cities
where similar campaigns were car
lied on it took only a few days to
open the gymns. This forced Mr..
Anderson to state that he would
give full support to the LABOR
Sports Union in their campaign
for free gyms. He further re-
marked that if the demand for
these gylnns could be proven great
enough he would present the de-
mands to the Board of Education
and if on presenting them he
would not be able to convince
them Of the necessity of these
gymns he would resign from the
committee of which he is chair
man.
Mr.. Anderson was told that he
would be held to his word (this
was very disturbing to Mr.. An
derson). However he promised
the delegation that he would make
every attempt to see that the L. S.
U. was given first consideration in
the three gymns that Mayor Bur
ton promised.
The Labor Sports Union will
continue to carry on this campaign
until all the available gyrnns are
opened free of charge to all work
er sportsmen. Sectional Confer
ences are being prepared in every
district where the fight is being
carried on. Plans will be made at
another City-Wide Conference to
prepare for a demonstration in
front of the Board Of Education
in case the demands are refused.
The Labor Sports Union calls up
on all worker sportsmen who are
interested in this campaign tt
communicate with the Labor
Sports Union at 1926 w Srd

The fundamental proposition rs

Dear Comrades:

Dear Comrades:
This morning we read your let
ter. It was very pleasant to read
that you sent us greetings for the
anniversary of the October Revo-
hutton and that you look ON the
U.S.S.R. as your socialist father
land. We saw from your lett er
how you live under hard condi-
tons. Capitalism is turning and
twisting in the grips of the inn
perialist crisis. Capitalism is try
ing to throw all the burdens from
its own shoulders on TO yours.
But things are different here.
We are young fighters and have
not been long in the army. we
came from the factories, mills and
collective farms. Socialist econo-
my is growing and spreading here
and new industrial giants are COM
ing into operation, while collectl-
vization is increasing in the coun-
try districts. Not long ago we
finished building our Mini auto

farms are collectivized.

the development of the village

whatever difficulties may
stand in the way of the accom-
plishment of this gigantic task,
we know at least that their full
fillment will be obtained at a
price very much lower than
that which the farmers In the
United States have to pay for
the TRIUMPHAL MARCH OF
TECHNICAL PROGRESS UN-
DER CAPITALIST CONDI-
TONS. There, in the United
States, the agricultural revO-
luton is being dragged out for
decades. This means that the
process of running the over
whelming majority of the far
mers and enriching a thin top
most layer is going to last for
decades. 1t means that the pro-
cess of advancing capitalist ag-
riculture will force the farmers
to pass Through all the stages
of impOverishment and ruin,
long ago described by Marx in
CAPITAL:
The appropriation of tho innrne-
date producers is being carried
out with relentless vandalism,
under the Stimulus of the vilest,
dirtiest, and most petty and
spitefu1 passions. (vo1 I. pp.
1850
The path which we have TAX
en-, ON the other hand. means
raising the standard of living
of the overwhelming majority of
the Deasantry, the abolition of
slavery to the kulak. the aboli-
ton of the kulaks (who repre-
sent an insignificant minority
of the peasants) as a class, the
transformation of millions of
peasants into free collaboratOrs
in a socialist society. In pursu-
ing this path, we are realizing
the theses of the General Com
mittee:
On the basis of collectivization,
the development of thu machine
and tractor stations. and the or
ganixation Of state farms, the
Party will be able to begin tc
realize the slogan OF "to equa.
and surpass" the capitalist coun.
tries OF the world, and not only
with regard to industry. where
the advantages of large-scal'
production have long been strik
ing1y illustrated. BUT ALSO IN
THE SPHERE OF AGRrCUL
TsURE, the tempo Of development
OF which has hitherto been deter
mined by the overwhelming pre-
ponderance Of small. even dwar.
farms OF extremely low produc
tivity. IT'S tempo viii now b

and profits are divided. The in
come of the farm goes into vari-
GUS funds. A special fund for
buying new machinery and i'm
provement of the farm (every coll
lective farm must increase its
capital). A special fund for aged
and infants, for wear and tear of
material, for cultural activities.
The proportion and size of these
funds is determined by these dele
cation meetings. What is left. is
distributed among the members
according to the work they put In.
They get their money at the end
Of the year when an accounting
has been made; however, they can
get an advance loan up to 70e6 of
the amount of work they have
done. At the end Of the year
they get the balance. A collective
pays a much lower rate of taxes
etc., and therefore it can accumu-
late a reserve fund.
A collective is q voluntary or.
ganization. The peasants are
free not only to come in but ia
leave it as well. But they cannot
damage the organization. If 8
peasant wishes to leave the col
lective and his old strip of lane
happens to be on the inside o.
the collective farm, he does no
go back to his own piece of land
but a strip on the outskirts of tn,
farm. The collective has spe
cial reserved piece of land 70,
this purpose. He is expected t,
work until the end of the harvest
ling season and not to drop hi
work at such time when i
Iwould hinder the growth of tn.
farm. He gets his capital at tn
end of the year, either in none,
! on In kind, but gets no share o
