November Communist
Analyses Miners Strike

In an article in the November issue
of THE Communist" Comrade s
wilmer characterized the Illinois
miners strike as one of the most i'm
portant events in the struggle of the
American working class since the be-
ginning of the economic crisis.
This article, 1.-THE Lessons of the H.
linois Miners Strike" discusses the
various phases of the strike in the
most minute detail. Starting with
the meaning of the strike. Comrade
wilmer takes up the tactics of the
Party and the TUUL, the activity of
the party and the TUUL until the
removal of the Lewis-W Walker lead
ership. the Party's struggle against
the Ansbury- Allard leadership. the
formation of the Progressive Miners
of America. the tactics Of the Party
and the TUUL in regard to the Pro-
gressive Miners of America, the role
played by the National Miners Union
in the strike, and the sectarian and
opportunist practices in the work of
the Party during the strike. Finally,
the article outlines the tasks which
the Party and the TUUL have before
them in the strike territory.
The Importance Of this analysis can
hardly be overemphasized. With big
ger class battles looming large before
us, the mistakes of our work in this
strike must be made known to all
revolutionary workers, and these mis-
takes corrected.

TOLL GROWS IN
GRAN CHACA WAR
Bolivia Socialists Help
War Drive

Bolivian heavy artillary and bomb
ing planes took frightful toll among
Paraguayan troops yesterday, causing
over 1000 casualties and holding up
the Paraguayan advance in the Gran
Chaco region
Paraguayan troops recklessly
thrown by the Paraguayan General
Staff against the fortified positions
of the Bolivians around Fort Saw
edra were met by whitening artil-
larry and aerial bombardment followed
by a counter charge by Bolivian
troops. The General Staffs of both
countries we're liberal in their use Of
cannon fodder and chary about TAX
ing prisoners. Few prisoners were
taken by either side.
The Bolivians then proceeded to
lombard the Paraguayan advanced
position in the Fort Acre sector. Par
aguay sources admit that their forces
suffered a serious reverse and that
the Bolivians are still holding Fort
Mrguia. Samaklay and Saayedra. In
a battle two. days before, the Boliv-
ians had lost 500 killed and many
wounded.
The Bolivian Socialists are reported
cooperating in the formation of q
national cabinet to. push the wal
and help solve the government crisis
caused By the growing unpoularity of
the war among the toiling masses.

Chats with Our
WOrcorrS

The letter from the Auto Worker
in the Edgewater Plant reveals the
open revolt Of individual workers to
the terroristic treatment the workers
receive from the foremen. Individual
resistance will not help to improve
conditions. Those who act alone will
merely be victimized, and will not
be able to help their equally I'M
fortunate shopmates.
Organized resistance is the only
way anything can be accomplished.
The Ford workers should quietly or
ganize into grievance committees in
the various departments, and when
ever they get an opportunity where
the workers feel solid enough to act
together, this committee should lead
in the action taken.
The Ford Company and the Stand
ard OIL too, appeal to you to help
yourself and make a little extra
change by selling automobiles or oil
in your spare time, which is another
method to create illusions in the
minds Of the workers, that IL the
company gives them a chance to
make extra money by selling their
products, then why organize and fight
for unemployment relief and insur-
ance. It's about as easy to sell an
auto these days as it is to peacefully
convince Morgan to give up his bill
lions.
1t is impossible for individual work
ers, no matter how energetic or in
teiligent, to find a way out Of our
present crisis by themselves. Only
by organized mass activity can we
resist such methods of fooling the
workers into trying to improve their
conditions by such individual meth
DDS.
The workers who understand this
scheme, must explain its purpose to
the rest of the workers.
Don't fall for the bosses schemes
Ford workers. Organize and act
unitedly.

years Of age, study at the Mini Nov
gorod Auto Factory Technical School
named IN. U. D." international
Youth Day.. Our course is two
year one, and when we graduate we
are young qualified mechanics.
We are preparing for our we'll
known Nijni-Novgorod Auto Factory
and while we study all our expenses
are paid, and we get an allowance
besides.
We will tell you a little about our
studies and work. Our week consists
of five days; we study for four days
and on the fifth day we rest. One
week we study and during the second
week we do practical work at our
factory laboratories Our study per-
iod is six hours and our practical
work four hours day. The rest of
our time we are occupied with social
and cultural work.
We are supplied with all the neces-
sary tools and assistance. The out
of-town comrades live in dor1nitories.
Some day we'll have dormitories for all
students on the same premises with
the Auto-Factory School and CO.
operative dining rooms.
We want TO organize students
commune and II we succeed we will
write you all about 1t. AS you see

terroristic speech. This speech began !:
you are not producing enough work.
I think you are not satisfied that
you are getting SOC an hour. Do not
forget that Ford pays more than
the other employers. Perhaps you do
not know that there are 10 million
unemployed in the country. If you
do not improve your work, tomorrow
you will be among those who would
gladly work for a few cents an hour"
On the following day Mr.. Lewis
begins to drive the workers, and ran
up against one worker who smacked
him in the face, and would have got
more, but Lewiss helpers saved him.
, In another department matters are
still worse. They work one or two
days week, working sometimes but
4 hours day. In this department
there is cur by the name of Ma
loney, that is, not cur but a real
tiger. He deals with workers merci-
lessly.
But the workers would not toler-
ate him any longer The other day
this ferocious animal jumped on one
worker calling him all sorts Of swear
words. For which he paid, the
worker came back at him. Gave
him two black eyes and knocked
out two teeth This will be confirmed
by any Ford worker.
Just before the elections, Ford put
out an announcement telling the
workers that if they don't want them
and their families to go hungry, they
should vote for Hoover, since Hoover
has already set things right and
prosperity is again just around the
corner.
Well, I appeal to my shop-mates
not to believe this exploiter. Ford
workers had already received two
cuts in one year, from to 6 to 4
These facts speak for themselves.
told them that by voting for Hoover
they are voting for poverty and mis-
cry and if they want to change this
situation, they must vote for the
workers candidates, VIM. z. Foster
and James Ford.

SOCIALISTS BACK
FRENCH ARM PLAN
Uses It as Step for New
Arms Race

PARASITIC French imperialists
have completed their new arms plan.
The detailed document which is now
ready for presentation at the Geneva
disarmament" conference this month
is cynically entitled "a Plan for Or
ganizaton of Peace" Under the pre-
text Of disarming, the plan would
replace the present regular armies
with a huge militia force and an in
ternational General Staff under
French hegemon.. 1t accords the
German bosses tie right to arm open
ly with a view of crushing the APP
preaching German revolution and lin
ing up Germany in the anti-Soyiet
war front.
''LHumante, French Communist
paper, says OF the plan:
"Imperialist France is putting for
ward a plan, knowing full well that
this plan is doomed to failure When
the plan has failed and the conditions
put forward by imperialist France are
rejected, imperialist France will then
take up the leadership which it in
fact has never abandoned. These are
the tactics which Blum Socialist
leader recommended so pathetically
on Saturday. If they (the foreign
powersl reject this plan, declared
Blum, then France will once again
become the center of the struggle for
freedom
The U. S. imperialists and their
socialist lackeys are engaged in sim
liar sham disarmament tactics, as fire.

tactics since the last Congress, the
Party was still isolated from the
masses, particularly from the work.
ers in the factories and unions. He
pointed. however, to various Sue
cesses in the recent period stressing
that determined efforts we're more
than ever necessary TO make the turn
towards mass work. He showed the
necessity to raise the political level
Of the membership and to wipe out
all sectarian tendencies, adopting the
broadest Interpretation Of the united
front policy.
Referring to the International Sit
uation, he declared that its main fea-
ture represented the contradictions
between dying capitalism and ad-
vancing. triumphant Socialism in the
Soviet Union.

d.. w. RR. Officials
in Fake Inspection

Old Forge, Pa-The track workers
Of the D. L. and w. R.R. receive $288
day and work two or three days a
week. How can a worker keep a
family going at such a small pay?
I would like to see Hoover or some
Of his friends try to live on that for
a while.
Last week the railroad officials had
touring inspection of the railroad.
Everything was polished up for those
crooks.
After short conversation with the
boss they shifted around and again
boarded their special train and were
off. The trainmen and conductors
were all cracked up with crocodile
smiles, answering every little question
with great attention. The track work
erS, kept very busy at this time, fear
ing the bloody hypocrites.
