Green Says Government Is Impartial" Force
But Miners Now See Its Naked Capitalist
Class Iron Fist Directed Against Them

talist state in the Communist Mani
festo, and the miners now are feel
ing the truth of his words. Marx
said:
"The executive of the modern
state is but a committee for man
aging the common affairs of the
whole bourgeoisie."
Marx also pointed out what the
state was, the different forms it
takes. Whenever the bosses can,
they use democratic phrases, to hide
their dictatorship. AS in the coal
fields they make all sorts of pro-
misses, keeping the iron fist hidden.
When that fails, they come out with
brutal force, as the power of the
capitalist state is always upheld
finally by armed force.
Lenin in his thorough work on the
state, entitled state and Revolu-
tion," shows what the state really
is, when it's masks are torn aside.
"The state," he wrote, "is par
ticular form of organization OF
force; it is the organization of
violence for the purpose Of hold
ing down some class The ex-
plotting classes need political sup
remacy in order to maintain eX-
ploitaticn, that is, in the self in
terests of a tiny minority (the
MELONS, Fords, ROckefellers,
Morgans) and against the vast
majority Of the community"
In the Pennsylvania coal strike,
the miners had good example OF
this capitalist force and violence for
the purpose of holding down the
miners. When the efforts of Lewis
and Feeney failed, when the local
violence failed, the federal govern
ment stepped in with threats of
force. After the strike was stabbed
in the back, when the miners re-

AMERICAN MINER
TELLS OF SOVIET
HEALTH SERVICE
Got Full Wages, Free
Medical Care When
Sick in USSR
BY JOEL RUSTAM
IF, S. u. News Service)

NEW YORK.-Peter Grenko mad
lust come off the boat and told me
his story. His fifteen months in the
Soviet Union illustrates clearly what
it means to be a member OF the
Russian working masses.
Peter emigrated to the United
States from Croatia when he was
IA years old to join his father in the
coal mines of Illinois. Fifteen years
of slavery at coal brought on an at
tack of bronchial asthma.
The depression hit the coal mines
and Peter with nine others managed
70 arrange to go to the Soviet Union
to work in the Kuznetz Basin, at
Leninsk in Siberia. What a change!
Six hours day instead of ten, and
a four-day week instead of six.
But Peter with bronchial asthma
had poor luck with the climate at
Leninsk. After the first month the
Russians gave him a light job run
ming motor. At the end Of the
third month the medical authorities
decided that Peter find more suit
able climate and that he be given
a different kind of work There
after for twelve long months Peter
was on sick leave from work and
drew his regular basic salary Of $50
rubles month.
Best Medical Care Free
He received the best medical atten-
ton in the Union free of charge.
Peter left Leninsk and went to the
specialists in Moscow. From there
he was sent to the best sanitarium
at Kislovodsk, a beautiful resort in
the Caucasian mountains, where
mineral waters abound. From Kis-
lovodsk he went to the Crimea, al
ways with the motive Of finding the
best climate.
But Peter became homesick in
spite of the new language he had
learned. He has an old father anc
| family in Iowa. His Russian CON-
rades advised him to remain. They
warned him of what life was like IL
the capitalist U. S. A. They coulc
not understand why Peter wanted tt
go back. Were they not doing theil
best for him?
"Tne Fruits of the Revolution"
Now Peter is back and knows his
Russian comrades are right. HI
wants to go back, and he intends tC
do so. He remembers his short
hours, his good pay, his cultural life
his excellent medical treatments
Over there, despite all the difficultie!
which still remain for the Sovie
workers to overcome, he could fee
that he was enjoying the fruits of {
victory won, the fruits of the Revolu
ton. Here in the U. S. A. he can

ROME, Aug. 10.-While Theodor
Habicat, Nazi organizer recently
elected from Austria, was making the
most provocative radio attack yet
made by Nazis, from Munich broad
casting station, the Italian govern
ment was assuring the French and
British ambassadors here that the
German government had promised to
stop the Nazi radio and airplane

government.

The Swiss guard along the German
frontier has been strongly reinforced.
THE HAGUE, Aug. 10.-The Dutch
government is preparing to order the
deportation of all Nazi agitators from
its territory. Konrad Tyfker, regional
leader of the Nazis, who has already
been expelled, is directing the work
of Na9is in Holland from Aachen,
across the border.
VIENNA, Aug. 10-Another Aus
trian policeman, named Rotmaier,
was fired on at Fitzbuehl, near the
German borGer, by five armed men
in civilian clothing yesterday. He
returned their fire, and they es-
capped across the frontier into Ger

masked the powerful arm of the rul-
ing class, with all sorts of Shiny
maneuvres in which the A. F. of L..
leader, William Green, and John L..
Lewis, president of the UM.WA.
played the leading role.
They told the workers, the gov
ernment is your friend. Unite With
the bosses and the government HI a
common effort for peace. Don't up
set Rooseveit's program. 1t will

When the miners went out on
strike against the coal operators,
they could clearly see their enemies
the powerful steel and iron trusts,
and their gunner. But the real
strength of their enemies and their
force to lower the miners living
standard is the capitalist state power
the Roosevelt government.
IN the 1922 strike Lewis sent the
i miners back to work when the
government intervened saying: 1--WE
cannot fight the government" What
did he mean by that? When the
political force of the coal barons
steps in to smash the strike in the
interest of the coal barons, the min
crs should help them by going back
to work. The entrance of the gov
ernment into the strike, is an cx-
cuse used by Lewis to help the state
central force of the coal bosses to
smash the strike.

A decisive defeat to the 10Th Route

speed-up, promised the workers the
right to organize He said new
era was open in capital and labor
relations.
Why was this done? In order to
disarm the workers in the face of the
vicious program Of the bosses. Roose-
welt is using the state power TO blast
through the crisis at the expenses of
the workers.
When 10000 coal miners went on
strike for recognition Of their union,
so they could use it as force
against the operators, to win higher
wages and better conditions, every
agency of the government was
drawn in to break the strike.
The miners from the very begin
ming Of the strike felt the hand of
the capitalist state power. They
were first confronted with the COM
pany gunner, a private army, arm
ed to the teeth, permitted and guar
anteed to the bosses by the capi-
talist state. Next came the National
Guard, the armed force of the state
OF Pennsylvania. In each instance,
everything is done to shield the
political force, the capitalist state,
behind these groups of armed
hooligans. Governor Pinchot sent
his troops in "to protect the min
ers." The protectors" slugged the
for picketting. But the min
ers continued their strile despite
this array Of armed force. The coal
operators found it necessary to bring

is an impartial force, standing above
the classes and administering justice

fiction is necessary to keep the work
ers from struggling against the
state, as well as against the indi-
vidual bosses.
Green's trick is to make the work
ers believe there are three forces in
volved, each with different inter-
est. He tries to separate the in

power. He sets up the idea that
