FAMOUS SPEECHES

The whole conduct OF the Boil
shevik under arrest was dictated
by the interests of the revolution,
the interests of the working class
and of its Party. During the exam
ination he refused to give evidence
in the interest of the Party and
at the trial used the prisoners dock
as the tribune from which to de-
nounce his class enemies, and to
proclaim to the broad masses the
program and tactics of his Party.
Although the cases of political
criminals" were heard behind closed
doors, and the court consisted of
Tsarist officials, representatives Of
the nobility and the bourgeoisie
dhe so-called representatives of
the estates'D, and although these
trials were not reported in the
press, nevertheless, the speeches of
the revolutionistS we're made pub
lie. They were reported in the il
legal press, and thus circulated
amongst the broad masses. These
speeches served as excellent agita-
ton material, and for q whole gen.
Grafton revolutionists were educa-
ted by them.
Both at the examination and at
the trial, the BolSheviks took into
consideration the experiences of
the preceding revolutionary organi-
cations. In the '7O's the Tsarist
government had not yet adopted
the simpler method of dealing with
the reyolutionists. Administrative
exile a. e. without triaD to places
mot SO distant" and distant" (the
formal wording of the order of
exile) began to be applied later.
At that time the Tsarist govern
ment gave the political prisoners
the semblance of a trial. Their I'M
fortunate experience in giving Vera
zasulich, who attempted to assas-
sinate General Trepov, trial by jury
is well known. Vera Zasulich was
found not guilty. After this the
TSarist government gave up such
experiments" Political cases be-
gan to be transferred to military
courts or to courts composed of the
representative of the states" i. e.,
the most bitter enemies of the
working masses.
IN order to show what a fund of
experience the Bolsheviks OBJ
tanned from the reVolutioniSts of
the '70's regarding court tactics, we
will quote excerpts from the bril-
liant and biting speeches delivered
by two revolutionists of that time:
the plebian intellectual Ippolit
Mishkin, and the weaver Peter
Alexeyev.
MISHKIN.
Mishkin was one of the several
hundred reyolutionists arrested for
propaganda work among the peas
ants. which was being carried on
in the middle of the '70's in many
Russian districts. In many parts
Of the country the Tsarist govern

ment arrested hundreds of agita-
tors and put them on trial in order
to smash the revolutionary move
ment of that time. Altogether 1913
revolutioniStS were brought to trial
and it became known as the Trial
of the 193." This was the first great
political trial held in Russia To
many of the accused it was their
revolutionary baptism, which help~
ed them later on to play great
role in the revolutionary move-
ment. However, the participants
did not constitute a single orgaIli-
cation, directed by single centre.
Under the influence Of the ideas
of Bakunin, which prevailed at that
time, the young intellectuals ADAM
doned their studies and their fam
lilies, gave up their previous ways
of life. and went to the people" in
the villages and supported them
selves there by such work as they
could find Gas teachers, physicians,
handicraftsmen and so on) SO as
to be nearer to the peasantry, and
to rouse them to political con-
seriousness. But this was not an
organized movement in the sense
that we understand it to-day. 1t
was a movement united by the
common ideas that sWayed the re-
volutionary intelligentsia at that
time. For this reason. the trial Of
the 1893, artificially instigated br
the government, revealed not an
organization, but the revolutionary
ideas OF that tine. At the trial,
Mishkin appeared as the brilliant
exponent of these ideas and of re-
volutionary applicability towards
the enemies of the people.
Almost half-a-century has elapsed
since then, and in spite Of tbs
events of worldwide importance
which have occurred since, one cam
not but feel enraptured by the re-
yolutionary heroism and passion
displayed by Mishkin at the trial.
He was not the accused" but q
terrible judge, pouring forth his
wrath on the Judges" In spite Of
the continuous Interruptions of the
President of the Senate (the case
was heard at a special session of
the Senate, Mishkin succeeded in
Voicing his ideas.
The President of the court want
ed to restrict Mishkin to the spe-
cific charges on which he was be-
ing tried, and not allow him to say
anything that might condemn the
Tsarist government, and that would
reveal the condition of the country
and the peasantry. Mishkin, how
ever. insisted on speaking to the
country from the dock, to explain
the ideas of the revolutionary
movement, to expose the policies of
the autocratic government and to
present a picture of the peoples
suffering. A bitter struggle ensued
between the President and Mishkin
which only ended with the forcible
removal of Mishkin from the court
and the closing of the session by
the perpleXed Senator

By L. LEWIS


HARRY j. LEEDS is 81 years old.
III For over 25 years Leeds was
working on the B. & o. Railroad.
Lately he worked in the boiler
shops. At present, at the age of GA,
this old rebel is selling between go
and 10 copies of the Daily Worker
on the streets of Wheeling, w. Va,
in the town where reigns the terror
of Carnegie Steel.
/ met Leeds while on my visit
to Wheeling in behalf of the Daily
Worker. With a group of comrades
/ paid a special visit to this old
militant, and Leeds was very happy
over meeting us. His clean-cut,
shaver face and bright eyes ex-
pressed overwhelming enthusiasm
as he chatted with us ana related
his experiences in selling the Daily
Worker.
OLD 9. p. MEMBER
H. J. Leeds was an old member
of the Socialist Party. But left the
S. P. after they betrayed the work
ing class during the war. He was
the organizer of the Socialist local
in Wheeling 20 years ago. Discour-
aged and demoralized by the trea-
cherry of the S. p, he remained
alone without being in contact with
the revolutionary movement. In
1881 comrade who toured for the
Daily Worker approached Leeds
and asked him to subscribe. After
reading it for a few days, this old
rebel became very enthusiastic. Il
saw" he told us, that this is the
real paper for the working class,

it myself and ordered bundle of

What do you mean?" I asked.

on December 1, 1881. That was dur
ing the first National Hunger
March. On Dec. the hunger
lnarcherS were on bnelf way 10
Washington and were to pass our
town. 1t was great day for me.
I wanted to meet the marchers. |
took q bundle of Daily Workers
under my arm and went through
the streets of Wheeling and yelled:
Read all about the Hunger March

Read all about it in the Daily
Worker!
"A motorcycle cop grabbed me

armed thugs were modified to meet

then that you would remain loyal
to our class, but you took diff

side of our enemy and | remain
loyal to the working class. You
can't expect me to sell the papers
right here, but as soon as you let
me go, l intend to sell the Daily
Worker again."
SOLD ALL THE
PAPERS
Leeds told this story with such
revolutionary fervor that our
group was infected with his spirit.
Il was only sorry" he said, that
I missed the hunger marchers by
the time / left the police station.
But sure enough I sold all the pa
pers.'
From that time on Leeds was re-
peatedly molested by the cops and
detectives who are on the payroll
of the Steel Trust
In the old days Leeds used to
spread various Socialist publica-
lions. One of them was the "Ap-
peal to Reason. Asked what he
thought the difference between
the Appeal to Reason" and the
Daily Worker, he said, 'Oh, the
Appeal was mush, and the New
leader now is a poisonous snake"
When we parted, he shook hands
very heartily and promised to in
tensify the work by drawing in
young workers to help spread the
Daily, as well to help raise funds
in the financial drive.
The carrier route of IS steady
readers which Leeds has estab-
lished will serve as a base for the
organization of unit of the Com.
munist Party in Wheeling.

job in Wheeling by keeping the

Jameson was in critical condition

The recluse, since his wife died 13
years ago, had lived alone in the little
two-story frame dwelling, one of row
