chauViniSt act by Slapping a Negro
worker in the face The jury stated
that since Dawson is a member of
the Communist Party there can be
no liberalism shown to his conduct.
and recommended that Dawson be
expelled from the Communist Party.
On the basis OF his work among the
Negro masses he must prove to the
Negro masses that he is overcoming
and destroying in himself the bour-
geois poison. If he can gain the con-
fidence of Negro masses he will be
readmitted after so days. The jury
voted that he should remain a mem
Der of the Unemployed Council and
that he should be closely observed
and given work in the Negro neigh
borhoodS.
A Negro worker had been called
liar by Dawson when he claimed he
had distributed leaflets. Comrade
Sergeant, the Negro worker, asked
Dawson what he meant by calling
him a liar. Strong words followed
md Dawson slapped Sergeant in the
face.
Insists Act Was Personal
Under questioning Dawson admitted
that his act was non-Communist,
was anti-working class and that he
deserves to be punished for it, but
he continued to harp on the fact
that he had nothing against the
Negro workers and that this quarrel
was personal.
The prosecution pointed out that
Dawson's act is not personal act.
1t is a class act. It shows that,
although Dawson claims be has no
white chauyinism in him, when faced
with a critical situation he slapped
Negro worker and not any of the
white workers.
In a final statement, Dawson made
certain steps forward. He realized
the seriousness Of his act, which gives
aid to the national oppression Of the
Negro masses. He was willing to
abide by the expulsion and pledged
to prove in action in the struggle
for Negro rights against white chau-
vinism and for the line of the Party

F. ENGELS.

EDITORS NOTE: F. A. Serge
was close friend of Marx and
EngeIs with whom he came in con-
tact during his revolutionary ac-
tivity in Germany. Serge took part
in the Baden insurrection i'm 1849,
and after the defeat of that insur-
rection, emigrated to America. He
kept i'm touch with Marx and Eng
els while he was in America, and
after the founding of the First In
ternational in 1864, Marx and Eng
els s1nsidered him as their repre-
sentative in the United States.
Serge attended the last European
Congress of the First International
held at the Hague in 1872, and
when it was decided to remove the
headquarters to America, he was
chosen as Secretary, in which post
he continued until the dissolution
of the International at the Phila-
delphia Congress in 1876.
Serge wrote a good deal on the
American labor movement which
was shtC OLu 4NNuS <Shts
He also collected the various cor
respondence of Marx and Engels
with him and other leading Soci-
alists In America and published
them in a volume. The originals
of these letters he turned over to
the New York Public Library before
his death, where they have been
preserved.
Serge lived in Hoboken, N. J.
and earned his living as music
teacher. At the age Of 20, he par
tic'pated in the Revolution of 1848,
and when he died in 1906 at the
age of IS he had lived through the
whole period of the birth and de-
yelopment of Marxism as the re-
evolutionary theory and practice of
the workingclass of which he was
the most outstanding representative
in America.
In truth, Serge can be considered
the father Of Marxism in Amerta,
to the propagation of which he de
voted almost so years of his life.

Serge of Marks Death.
London, March Is, 1885

London, March Is, 1888
Dear Serge,
Your telegram arrived this eve
ming. Many thanks. 1t was not pos
sible to keep you regularly informed
about Marks state of health because
it was constantly changing. Here,
briefly, are the main facts.
Shortly before his wife's death, in
october of 81, he had an attack Of
pleurisy. He recovered from this but
when, in February 80, he was sent
to Algiers, he came in for cold wet
weather on the journey and had an
other attack when he arrived.
The atrocious weather continued,
and then when he got better, he was
sent to Monte Carlo (Monsco) to
avoid the heat of the approaching
summer. He arrived there with an
other, though this time milder
attack Of pleurisy. Again abominable
weather

HOME ALWAYS OPEN
TO COMRADES

Marks house was always apen to
a trusty comrade. I can never forget
the happy hours which I, like SO
many others, spent in his family
circle. Here his wife was the most
striking figure.
She was a tall and very beautiful
woman, of distinguished appearance
but at the same time SO kind-hearted
so amiable, so full Of life and withal
so natural and so free from stiffness.
that visitors felt as much at home
with her as if she had been their
own mother or sister. She was an
enthusiast for the workers cause;
and she rejoiced at any victory, how
ever small, won by the workers in
their fight with the bourgeoisie.

STAYED WITH
HIS DAUGHTER

When he was at last better, he
went to Argenteuil near Paris to stay
with his daughter, Madame Longuet
He went to the sulphur springs near
by at Enghien, in order to relieve the
bronchitis from which he had Suf-
fered for so long. Here again the
weather was awful, but the cure did
some good.
Then he went to Vevey for six
weeks and came back in September
having apparently almost complete
ly recovered his health. He was al
lowed to spend the winter on the
south coast Of England, and he him
self was to tired Of wandering about
with nothing to do, that another
period of exile to the south of
Europe would probably have harmed
him in spirit as much as it would
have benefited him in health.

in London, he was sent to the Isle

rain and he caught another cold

Marx was always especially de-
lighted to get into touch with ma
nual workers, and to have opportuni-
ties for conversation with them. He
especially sought the company OF
those who did not hesitate to oppose
his views frankly, and those who did
not trouble him with flattery.
The views of manual workers con-
corning the movement were of great
interest to him. He was always ready
to discuss important political and
economic problems with them, quick
ly discovering whether they really
knew what they were talking about,
and being overjoyed when this was
the case.
NEVER MISSED
A MEETING
During the lifetime of the Inter-
national, he never missed a sitting of
the General Council. After the sit
tings, most of us, Marx included,
usually adjourned to a quiet tavern
and continued the discussions in
formally over glass of beer.
On the way home, Marx often
talked about the normal working day.
for as early as 1865 we had begun
agitating on behalf of the eight
hour day, and this became part Of
our program at the Geneva Con-
gress in September, 1866.
Marx was fond of saying: eve
want to get an eight-hour day estab-
lished as the normal, but we our
selves are apt to work at least twice
as long"
1t is unfortunately true that Marx
was too prone to work overtime, that
he suffered from overwork. The In
ternational alone cost him vast
amount Of time and energy-how
much, no outsider can possibly real
Use. Besides this, he had to work for
his living, and to spend innumerable
hours in the British Museum Read
ing Room gathering material for his
historical and economic writings.
l lived not far from the Museum,
and on his way back to his home, in
Maitland Park Road, Haverstock
Hill, North London, he would often
drop in to have a word with me about
some matter connected with the af-
fairs Of the International. When he
got home, he would sup, and then
take a short rest. After that he usu-
ally set to work again, often working
far into the night and even into the
small hours-more especially when
he had been kept away from his
desk too long after supper by visits

WIFE'S DEATH
A HARD BLOW

Then followed Jenny's death and
he had another attack of bronchitis
After all that had gone before, and
at his age, this was dangerous. A
number of complications set in, the
most serious being an abcess on the
lung and terribly rapid loss Of
strength.
Despite this, however, the general
course of the illness was proceeding
favourably, and last Friday the CHIEF
doctor who was attending him, one
of the foremost young doctors il
London, specially recommended tc
him by Ray Lancaster, gave us the
most brilliant hope for his recovery
But anyone who has but once ex-
amined the lung tissue under the
microscope, realiseS how great is the

if the lung is purulent.

But our Marx could never have

have been thousand times more
