WITHIN the last few weeks there
" have been occurrences in
Massachusetts which are utterly
unprecedented in the history of
the capitalist regime. We have
heard of groups of workers destroy
ing machines and even whole fac
tories in the years when the indus
trial revolution was taking place in
America and MISUNDERSTANDING
them because they at once realized
what would happen to them when
the machine took the place of the
hand and one worker could do
what ten had done before. We
have heard of angry workers sab
otaging mill and shop machinery in
order to carry out and win strikes.
But never before have we heard of
employers destroying themselves to
save smashing their
own machinery so as to keep them
selves from greater losses.
Machines Stood Idle.
IN the mills of New Bedford, OF
Bristol, of Lawrence, hundreds of
machines stood idle while workers
died from exposure in the streets.
Perhaps it may be thought that
these mills were not an expense to
the owners, that they we're merely
frozen assets" But, in reality,
there was a high cost of upkeep
in these buildings. The poor,
starving employers" who formerly
had made SO per cent profit on
their stock and were now only
making 20 per cent, besides being
terribly irritated and perhaps the
least bit scared by frequent strikes
of audacious workers who actually
dared to try to tell the boss what
sort of wage he was to give, were
forced to pay high taxes, insurance
and rent for these factories which
were to them useless Under these
conditions what did the owners
do? Did they say to the workers,
Here, workers, are textile mills
that aren't running. In our ware
houses are bolts upon bolts, and
yards upon yards of cloth which
will never, so far as we can see, be
of use again. You are shivering-
take the cloth. You are jobless-
go into the mills and work. Once
you have used up all that over
produced supply in the warehouses,
you will be able to get normal
wage again, and everything will be
O.K.?" Why didn't the bosses say
that, since the workers had time
and again demanded in demon
strations that this be done. But
the employers knew that this cloth
represented to the mprofit, and al
though some OF these employers
had a suspicion that the time of

Secretly Smashing Machines.
GO, instead of giving relief to t.
v workers, the employers decidl
that it would be cheaper to do
away with the expensive but use-
less machinery altogether. A few
workers, sent into the factories
with sledge- hammers soon made
short work of the business. Every
day spindles and looms are being
secretly smashed in the mills. In
the Bristol Mills, 1900 looms and
10000 spindles; in the Pierce fac
tory, 3,400 spindles and 800 looms
and in the Soule mill 1900 spindles
and 600 looms have been smashed.

Five Year Plans.
IN the Soviet Union the first Five
Year Plan has Just been COM
pleted. BY the end of another five
years, altogether in ten years, the
Soviets will have accomplished an
industrial revolution which it took
American capitalism $50 years to
effect, and they will have done this
without all those Accomplishments
of capitalism, wage-cuts, periodical
depressions, dirt and slums, swell
tering East SIDES in all big cities
with their suicide and crime.
But here in America We find
new type Of Five Year Plan begin
ming, a Five Year Plan in reverse,
a plan whereby machines are
smashed instead of built, plan
of mental degeneration rather than
of cultural development. This is
the capitalist way out Of the crisis.
The more unemployed there are,
the more can the boss intimidate
his wage slaves by threats of firing
them and giving the jobs to others,
who will work at lower wages. This
is the continuance of the old policy
of wagecut and speed-up. This
may be the boss way out of the
crisis, but the workers know a bet
ter way-the way of struggle lead
ing to the overthrow OF this de-
caying system.

THE CENTRAL COMMMITTEE
of our Party has taken seri-
ously the problem of broadening
the leadership of our Party and the
Revolutionary unions. The draw
ing in of more workers from the
shops and factories into leading
committees of the Party and reTo-
lutionary unions does not mean
the mere placing their names on
the committees. These members
must be trained in the practical
and theoretical work in order to
develop them into actual leaders
of the movement.
1t is with that aim in view that
the Central Committee adopted a
plan for a series of training schools
to be conducted in various parts of
the country. OF this series the
Central Training School conducted
at the present time in N. Y is the
third in the line, since the begin
ming of 1882.
The Midwestern Regional School
held in Detroit during December
1881 and January 1882, gave posi-
tive results. Many of the students
are now serving in the capacity of
section organizers either for the
Party or the unions.
The Miners and Metal Workers
School.
THE SECOND full time training
a school, since the beginning of
the year was the school held in
Pittsburgh from May 9th to June
18th. OF the 81 students at least
% were coal miners, one metal
miner and four metal workers.
There were eight miners from Ken
lucky coming directly from tpe
field of recent struggles Most of
them were of the native American
element with a good percentage of
Negro workers; the althracite,
Western and Central Pennsylvania.
West Virginia and OMo were well
represented. The average age was
much below thirty.
The Pittsburgh school demon
strated beyond doubt that the Par
ty is able to lay the basis for a
good revolutionary Communist
training in q short period of four
to five weeks. The political level
Of the comrades when they came
to school was quite low. Many of
them had been in the Party
very short time. A real change
took place during the few weeks
of school. The comrades received
