There are other concrete grievances

The Ground Hog" carries q weak
article on Soviet recognition which is
criticized by the district review. But
in our opinion, :sither the paper nor
the review raise an important point,
namely, why not at least briefly con-
trast the conditions of Soviet miners
with those Of Gillespie? The victories
Of the Donbas miners have achieved
worldwide recognition, and are talked
about by the southern Illinois miners
This point could and should be linked
up with the Communist solution for
the miners problems, with the defense
of the Soviet Union, and also with
the forthcoming convention of the
Friends of the Soviet Union in New
York, Jan. q and %.
1t is entirely possible that, with a
good agitation, the Gillespie local OF
the PIMA. would send delegation
to the F.S.U. convention. We must
remember that the Gillespie local
sent seven delegates to the Mooney
Congress, and the leadership would
not find it easy to block such pro-
posal.

mine correspondence in the Ground

Now, after years back-sliding, the

the responsibility for teaching the

This article should appear in the
Forthcoming issue, as should also an
other on popularizing the victories of
the National Miners Union and the
decisions of the Pittsburgh nininr
conference, in the drive for a united
nationwide union of coal diggers.
True, we are not calling upon the
Gillespie miners to join the N.M.U.;
but at the same time it is highly i'm
portant to point out that the N.M.U.
is the only mine union in the coun-
try which has organized, led, and
won struggles, wage increases. for the
miners Of New Mexico, and Utah.
The Youth page of the Ground

columns, short articles and good,
honest to- goodness conversational
style. Yes, 1t has an article on, What

We urge the comrades, however,
not to separate the Y.CL. from Gill

apart from the Gillespie youth, and
doing things for them. Let us rather
say, I'VE the Y.CL. of Gillespie, are

AS to the technical makeup and
composition Of the Ground Hog
the tipping and mimeographing are
clear and readable-so far, so good.
But there are too many long, articles,
and then again, they are not in
double column form, but right across
the page. This makes very difficult
reading comrades. Let us have COL
umns from now on, and shorter ar
ticles.
Also, we should throw in a few
simple cartoons, and few Jokes, to
liven things up a bit; let's have some
mine notes, few quips etc. It would
be well, in view of the great mill
fancy displayed by the Women's Aux
iliaries, to continue the special page
for them, with an appropriate head
ing drawn.
Without doubt, in spite of weak
nesses, the issuing Of the Ground

important concentration point. We
urge the comrades to carefully con-

We would put it even more strongly.
The paper attacks the union leader
ship and the fake oppositioniSts,
without linking this attack with the
attack upon the Superior Coal Co.
1t is our policy, as Communists in
the coal fields, to lead the fight
against the daily grievances of the
miners in the mines to expose the
close connection of the coal magnates
with the government at the same
time exposing the misleaders, the
Pearceys, because they serve the coal
barons. In this way the paper will
make the miners class-conscious and
educate them politically.

to give figures of what is to be stolen

at least 1923 back dues, but this day
