Part Played by
Chance in Life
Not Possible to Deny Luck
Is an Element.

ut is well known that as nothing
succeeds like success, so nothing
fails like failure" said Mr.. Cato
Ninetails; land it seems highly prob
able that both ability and circum-
stances have a strong effect on either
result. Ernest F. Henderson, in his
short History of Germany records
that Napoleon, speaking of General
Mack, who surrendered the Austrian
army October II, 1905, said: He is
certainly one of the most incapable
men in existence; and moreover he
has bad luck
Napoleon himself was, of course,
capable-and had good luck. That
is. such conditions prevailed for
about twenty years. Then they
changed. 1t might have been from
a loss of capability or a failure Of
good luck-Or both. At any rate, he
took no further part in the success
full activities of the world. There
have been other men who were ca
pable and lucky, which qualities
form an irresistible combination.
There have been men who were ca
pable, and men who were lucky.
Neither kind got quite so far.
'As such an irresistible combina-
tion is seldom, if ever, lifelong, the
question arises as to whether such a
capable man would be so successful
If he were not lucky, or such a lucky
man would be so successful if he
were not capable; and, indeed, a fur
ther question as to whether a good
deal of what passes for -capability
isn't mostly or wholly luck. On the
other hand, what is enviously called.
luck may really be capability. The
two are such complementary attri-
butes that it is almost impossible To-
determine which is dominant.
There are those, of course, who
say that there is no such thing as.
luck-that is, chance good fortune
but certainly there is some mex
plicable and uncomfortable force that
has a powerful, even a decisive, eff

Forging Ahead!

ONLY sixteen years ago the work
" ers and peasants of Russia joined
hands, under the leadership Of the
Communist Party, to lift the heavy
arm Of exploitation, misery and starv-
alton which crushed them, and to
overthrow capitalism. Then they es-
tablished government Of workers
and farmers-"The Union OF Social
list Soviet Republics" ...
This is very important history
for the boys and girls of America,
as well as for the boys and girls of
other capitalist countries. The
workers and their children in these
countries are now going through
the same things the workers of
Russia went through before they
threw out the bosses. We go with
out bread and shoes. Unemploy-
ment relief has been cut to nearly
nothing. Hot lunches, free milk
and clothing have been taken away
in a number of the few schools that
used to give these things. Under
the "New Deal'' we're not supposed
to be hungry! Yet prices have
shot up so high that we get less
to eat now than we used to!
These conditions are very diff
ferent from conditions in the So
Wet Union, the only country where
there is no crisis! 1t hs' success
fully carried througL- rs first Five
Year Plan and has started on sec
ond. Even the bosses newspapers
have to admit that Russia is now
one of the great nations of the
worldr' Working hours have been
reduced there, wages are being in
creased, there is no unemployment,
there is no discrimination against
other races, and no child labor is
permitted.
Instead, tremendous sums of
money are being spent for nurseries.
kindergartens, schools, children's
clubs, camps, and newspapers for
children. Theatres, parks, concerts,
museums are opened for the chill
dren Of the workers-this is what
we find in workers country.
The capitalist class hates to see
the Soviet Union get ahead, be-
cause they realize it makes their
progress backwards" all the more
noticeable. So the capitalist coun-
tries want to make war on the So
Wet Union.

ton the workers enjoyed was or
Sundays in the saloons, of which
there were plenty, and in the
Simonoffsky Monastery Church.
In 1903 our lock-smith workers
organized a Bolshevik nucleus in
the factory, which was made up at
that time of five persons. In the
beginnings books and pamphlets
and proclamations were distributed
among the workers.
Heavy and ugly were our lives.
But as soon as the Bolsheviks APP
peared among us in the factory,
from that time on, under their
leadership and direction we strug-
gled to better our condition.
The Cossacks' Whips
We often went on strike. Our
factory was in the lead of all the
others. We demanded, principally,
a nine-hour working day, larger
salaries, to be treated in friend
ly manner on the part of the adj
ministrative staff, clinic for the
workers, basins wherein we might
wash our hands, closets for cloth
ing, and to be supplied with boiled
water for drinking purposes. To
have granted us a part of our de-
mands would in the end have been
less costly. The militia, and the
police, and the Cossacks were often
visitors at our factory. Even to
this day have not forgotten the
sting of the Cossacks' whips.
In October, 1917, the entire Sim
onoffsky District was lined with
trenches. We had organized the
Red Guards. We workers prepared
barracks, and stored our gunpowder
away in cellars.
During the Civil War our factory
collective lost quite number Of
GOOD comrades in the front lines.
Lenin's Visit
Still vivid in my memory is the
year 1921. and the time when Hitch
came to the "Dinamo" factory, in
the instance of the anniversary of
the October Revolution.
At eight o'clock in the evening,
a machine stopped at the factory
gates, and out of the machine step
ped Comrade Lenin, dressed in a
plain warm coat and hat. Without
much delay he said, "Hello, where
is your meeting here being held,
and how do I get to it,"
We led him to the department Of
small motors. He walked ahead of
us all at a brisk gait, asking all
the while different questions about
the factroy.
When the meeting opened thun-
derous applause shook the whole
hall.
Comrade Lenin SPOKE slowly, en-
phasizing each wor' he spoke. He
talked about IT, uniting of the
workers and r SAINTS, of the build
ing up of our industry which must
follow, of the cooperatives, and
about the Red Army.
He told US a story Of how once

Dear Comrades:

Dear Comrades:
The 10th anniversary of that
day, when the working class
under the leadership of Com
rade Lenin took the power of
authority into their hands, is
drawing near. During these
Is years the entire life of the
country and Of the working
class has been remade. l wish
to show you that, through the ex-

personal life.
was born in 1876 near Orehoyo-
zuyevom into workers family. Our
family was large, and each one of
US had to do our bit. A. the age
OF 10 l was given over to a Kulak
"a rich peasant) as a student. The
Kulak appointed me to take care
of the children of the women cooks.
Once when the Kulak was drunk
he fell one me with a knife and
almost killed me. A neighbor, who
came running at my cry, rescued
me. And so lived until was
ID, when I went to the city and
there found work in the factory
Traymana. But soon I was laid
off. l finally found work at a fac
tory belonging to a Belgian Com
pany, now called "The Dinamo."
That was in the year 1902. And
ever since L have worked in this
factory.
The factory for the construction
of electrical machinery, the "Di-
namo," is located in Moscow, in the
Lenin suburbs.
Worked 10 to IL Hours Day
When l first came to work at
this factory we had to work from
10 to IL hours each day, for the
half-pennies we were given. For
every little mistake we made we
were fined.
We lived crowded together. Our
pallets were placed in the kitchen,
along the Railways, or in rooms
that very nearly resembled dog
houses.
We had no factory restaurant.
There was g very elegant factory
restaurant with flowers for the more
important administrative workers
in the factory.
Those who received little more
money could eat in the Cook-Shop
nearby. The others brought lit
tie bread along to eat for dinner,
and, perhaps, a picked fish or a
pair of salt pickles, and some cold
water,-that comprised our scanty
wal.

Ready to Struggle in New
Orleans for Shelter,
Firewood and Boots
By Nesro Worksr. corre.pondent

By Negro Workers Correspondent
NEW ORLEANS, La.-Just a
few words on the conditions of the
Negro welfare workers here. Speak
ing about forced labor, we have
too darn much of it here. There
is supposed to be (that is, accord
ing to the statement of Mr.. c. N.
Stair, former head of the welfare
OUTFIT $4,000 workers on the well
fare role. They receive $3.50 per
six-hour day. There were about
1000 of these workers (all Ne
groes), used in clearing a wood,
making an annex to the city park,
for the rich men and women to
play their golf.
Now they are beginning to dig
a lagoon Canal, plant fish for
big shots to fish. l don't know how
long the canal is; anyhow, it is
about so feet wide. In two sections
they have dug four feet deep and
are beginning to dig four feet
more.
Since the N.R.A. these workers
are being speeded up, and anyone
not liking this will lose their cards
for two weeks.
There is no place to go when
it rains. Every worker just hud-
dies somewhere, and gets soaked
to the skin. The stiff mud pulls
the shoe soles and heels off.
These Negroes are beginning to
realize what is facing them this
winter. Back of that Black Bridge
they see that they are in a death
trap. They see that once it is cold,
it means death to any worker that
goes down in that canal and mud,
barefoote6.
There is struggle brewing, a
struggle of these unorganized
workers.
This struggle will be conferred
around three immediate needs;
shelter, firewood and boots.
There are one or two rank and
file aid clubs. These workers paid
close attention to the white work
ers and they (the majority say
that the white workers strike was
not militant enough and their lead
ers were crooked.
So it is obvious that the workers
are afraid Of all leadership. Many
have told me that all leaders will
sell out the Negro. And it can easily
be seen that our task is to organ
ize discussions on our winters
prospects, discuss the setting up of
rank and file committees, commit
