The boys did their work ener-
getically but not very cautiously,
and their agitation alarmed the adj

sidency of the Port Superintendent,
called a meeting to discuss the
decided to persuade section of the
workers not to leave their work,
and the same time to inform the
Chief of Police Of the turn affairs
had taken. On the eve of May
Day the Kerch organization distrib-
uted leaflets on all the ships, as
well as the trade-union's manifesto,
which I had printed on the hecto-
graph. It was decided not to hold
meetings in the evening, but to
hold them in the morning as soon
as work began. On the morning
of May First all the workers turned
up at work; some began to work,
but the trade-union members calm
ly smoked on deck. At 8 o'clock
the siren sounded on the "Victor
Shumsky," followed by sirens on
the other ships. The administra-
ton fled in alarm, and the work
ers, with cries of ITO the meeting!
To the meeting!" began to land.
Those who tried to remain at work
were dragged away and driven to
the shore. A meeting was in pro-
gress on the shore. I and several
other workers made short speeches,
and then resolved to go and call
out the men in the artisans work
shops, from the flour mills, and
also the lockers. The whole mass
divided into groups and went to

a dozen men for the flour mills.
The workers from one of the mills
quickly joined us, but at another
we had to call meeting.
THE meeting took place on the
! top floor of the mill While it
was on, a patrol of gendarmes and
police surrounded the mill. The
policemen would have rushed up
stairs, but the workers began to
throw sacks of flour at them; sew

the stairway, and they retreated to
wait below till the meeting fin
ished. After the meeting the flour
mill workers decided to stop work,
and at the same time they pre-
sented demands for increased wages.
Work was carried on at the mill in
two shifts of twelve hours each.
At the mill I was accompanied
by a sailor, Michael, who had de-
serted from the cruiser "Ochakov,"
a fine healthy youngster. He de-
cided to accompany me through the
mill. When we went downstairs,
we were Immediately arrested and
taken to the police station, con-

a few questions, the Inspector gave
orders for Michaeps discharge and
for me to put into a cell. In the
evening I was again summoned to
the inspector, who invited me to
sit down and ordered tea to be
brought in.

listened to the pompous phrases
of the Inspector and continued to
remain silent, waiting for him to
begin talking in his usual police
language.
II repeat, we would have nothing
against you, If you would only not
disturb the peaceful life of our
town. :. We consider your be-
haviour today to be violation of
the public peace; the removal of

necessary for us to pay attention

ORDERED TO LEAVE
Here the Inspector took up a.
sheet of paper and went on: Il
have received instructions from the
Chief of Police to advise you to
leave town within the next twenty
four hours"
II won't CO." I replied shortly.
1--WE strongly advise you to CO."
II am working here, and for that
reason will not leave the town."
THAT is no business of mine,"
answered the Inspector irritably.
IF you refuse to leave town, we'll
make you; I think the Chief of
Police is very lenient with you"
He gave me the order to sign
and let me off with the words

to drink any tea, although two
glasses were standing on his destk.

not to leave the town until I had
fulfilled my task.
THE May Day strike had gone off
1 extremely we'll; detachments of
the young workers had spread
throughout the town and called
the handicraft artisans, cabinet
makers, boatmen, sailmakers and
others to stop work; they had
brought out the women from the
tobacco factory 'Misaxudi". The
machine shops went on strike in
organized fashion.
Many of the young workers got
off harder than we; fifteen of
them were taken off to Station No.
l, to Inspector Golbach, who gave
them a strict examination and
most likely released them the next
day only thanks to the order of the
Chief Of Police.
In the night big mass meeting
was held on the cliffs farthest
from the town Over a thousand
gathered there. More than half the
workers of the dredging fleet were
there; there were many of the old
er workers, and the lockers turned
out well.
POLICE DISCOVER
MEETING PLACE
The police discovered the meet
ing place and decided to disperse
the crowd. A detachment of police
headed by Inspector Golbach NOV
ed towards the cliffs. Our body
guard and some of the armed sail
ors were skillfully placed in ring
around the mass meeting. The po-
lice advanced from three sides:
they passed the first outposts of
our guard, hidden among the rocks,
and as soon as they approached
the chain of hidden guards, the
latter opened rapid fire from their
revolvers. The police, at a loss in
the darkness, scattered in a panic.
The guards with shouts of hur-
rah! sprang out of ambush and in
creased their panic by shooting.
The police in their flight fell into

few policemen were disarmed; one
of the inspectors assistants lost his
revolver and sword, the latter be-

were routed entirely and the mass
meeting went on exceedingly well.
AT the close Of the meeting we

the police was not so much due to
the numerical strength of the
crowd, as to the fact that they
were almost all workers, with
whom it was dangerous to fight.
The May Day movement was
great success, and the Kerch or
ganization was very proud ofSit.
The next day the board of the
trade-union met to hear the report
on preparations for the strike.
The board presented a list of the

to be legal leaders of the strike,

There was considerable argument

the older workers were chosen to
make up the delegation in case the

1.-TWO FORMS
OF HATRED"

You, "humanitarians who want
to be practical men," should have
understood long ago that there
are two forms of hatred at work
in the world. One form has sprung
up among the plunderers because
OF their competition with each
other, and because of their appre-
tensions for the future, which
threatens them with inevitable ruin.
The other is the hatred of the pro-
letariat, which originates in its dis
gust with things as they are, and
which is daily becoming more
clearly defined because the prole-
tariat realizes that it has the right
to power. Nothing and nobody can
reconcile these two hatreds, so
strong have they now grown
nothing and nobody save the inev-
liable clash physical clash of the
representatives of these two classes.
Nothing save the victory of the
proletariat will be able to rid the
world .ofs batre6 neutrality-suspicious.

The officers and ushers seemed
amazed into a state of paralysis.
The heroic young Communists con-
tinued merrily around the track
shouting their slogan: Free Tom

From the same spot where the
runners had started, two young
men-members of the same group
conjured out a 10-foot banner with
large red letters painted on both
sides Free Tom Mooney" Holding
this banner before the gaze of the
huge throng, they started walking
deliberately down the track after
the runners. They stopped in front

IN EUROPE the entire bourgeoisie
is living in an atmosphere of
mutual hatred. The plundered
Germans hate France, which, suffo-
eating from plethoric surfeit of
gold, in turn hates the English,
just as Italians hate the French;
while the whole bourgeoisie is filled
with unanimous hatred against the
Soviet Union. Three hundred mil
lion Indians live in hatred of the
English lords and shopkeepers;
450,000,000 Chinese hate not only
the Japanese but also all Euro
peans, who, being accustomed to
plundering China, are also ready
to hate Japan, because it considers
the right to plumber China as its
own exclusive right.
What Next War Will Do
This all : enveloping cloud of
hatred growing denser. The hatred
is becoming more virulent.
1t is fostering in the bourgeois or
ganism like some noxious abscess
which, of course, will eventually
burst, SO that the best and purest
blood of the peoples of the whole
globe may once again be poured
out in streams. The next war will
destroy not only millions of brave
men, but a tremendous quantity of
valuables and of the raw materials
from which these valuables are
made, and all this will result in the
impoverishment of mankind in
health, in metals and in fuel.
1t goes without saying that the
war will not obliterate the hatred
between the various national groups
of the bourgeoisie. You intellec-
tuals think yourselves capable of
serving the common culture of
mankind" and Obliged to prevent
it from declining into barbarity."
This is all very we'll. But first ask
yourselves this simple question:
What can you do today or tomor-
row to protect this culture, which,
by the way, has never been the
common culture of mankind" and
can never be such while there are
national-capitalist state organiza-
lions which have absolutely no re-
sponsibility to the toiling people,
and which stir up the nations
against each other?
AND then, you must ask your
n selves, what can you oppose to
the facts of unemployment, the ex-
haustion Of the working class from
starvation, the growth of child
prostitution-things that destroy
culture? Are you aware that the
exhaustion of the masses means
the exhaustion of the soil on which
culture is grown? You are certain
ly aware that the so-called "cul-
tural stratum" was produced by the
masses. You should know it very
well, for the Americans are in the
habit of boasting that in the United
States of American newspaper boys
have risen to the post of President.
IT mention this only because
want to point out the cleverness of
your boys, and not the talents of
your presidents. OF these talents I
know nothing"
Question To Bear in Mind
There is also another question
which you ought to bear in mind:
Do you think it possible to make
450,000,000 Chinese the slaves of
European and American capital at
time when 30o,00O,o0O Indians are
already beginning to understand
that the gods have not foredoomed
them to play the part of slaves to
