on any issue with the Communist

in a memorandum submitted by

The New York State delegation,

Kirou, TireIess Fighter
For B0lsheuik PRINCIPLES

MOSCOW (By Wireless), Dec. 2.
-Sergei Mironovitch Kirov was
born in 1886 in the little town of
Urzhum, former Viatka province.
He lost his parents in early child
hood. His grandmother took guard
ianship over him and his two little
sisters. But the grandmother was
unable to feed the grandchil-
dren. At seven, the grandson was
given to children's home. Com
rade Kirov spent year there.
In the childrens home he already
showed surprising abilities and
keen mind. He successfully finished
elementary school, and then the
town high school. On completion he
was able to enter Kazan technical
school.
The first stage of Kirov's indie
pendent life begins here, and it is
here the thread unravelled which
later firmly bound Kirov's whole life
with the revolutionary struggle.
The town of Urzhum was one of
the numerous points in Viatka
Province where the Czarist govern
ment exiled revolutionaries. These
were the first real teachers of Com
rade Kirov.
Formed Views Early
In early youth he was already per-
sonally acquainted with many of
them. Coming for summer holidays
from Kazan, Sergei Mironovich
gradually extended his contacts
with political exiles, getting illegal
literature from them. and had
lengthy talks. This was the politi-
cal school preparing Kirov the stu

dent at Kazan Technical School for
further political activity in the cir
cles of the Kazan student revolu-
tionaries. Comrade Kirov was then
barely 18. But his revolutionary
Social-Democratic views were al
ready definitely formed.
In the autumn of 1904 Kirov went
to Tomsk. There he was very soon
in the center of party work. He
participated intensely in the organ
ization of the January armed insur-
rection of 1905 answering Bloody
Sunday" in Petersburg. The czarist
police pursued him on Feb. 2, 1905,
sand he was arrested at an illegal
party meeting and was held for sew
eral months in prison without trial.
This time Kirov already belonged
to small group of Bolsheviks in
Tomsk. Tirelessly he worked for the
party from day to day. He distrib-
uted illegal literature, worked as an
agitator in small circles. He spoke
among the workers. Revolutionary
circles in Tomsk knew Kirov we'll,
and he soon became a member of
the Tomsg Committee of the Rus
sian Social-Democratic Labor
Party.
Given Responsible Work
The Party Committee entrusted
him with very responsible work-to
manage the illegal party printshop.
Throughout the year of 1905, XII
ROY spent working in Tomsk and at
the Taiga station. There he organ
lied the railway mems strike, which

Devoted to the memory Of Sergei

V. M. Molotov, M. Kalinin, K. E.

and actions of great reVolutlonlSt:
Our Party has suffered a great

friends and comrades but for all
who knew him by his revolutionary

Exemplary BoIshevik
"At the hama of the enemy per-
ished a man who gave all of his
bright life to the cause Of the work
ing class, to the cause of commu
nism, to the cause of the liberation
of humanity. Comrade Kirov rep
resented by himself the exemplary
Bolshevik who knew no fear and
difficulties in striving toward the
great aim set by the Party. His
neutrality-suspicious., iron firm
ness, his remarkable qualities of an
inspired orator of the revolution
were combined in him with that
warm heartedness and softness in
his personal, comradely and friendly
relations, that radiant warmth and
modesty which characterize the real
Leninite.
"Comrade Kirov worked in var
ious parts of the U.S.S.R. both in
underground times as we'll as after
the October Revolution-in Tonsk.

a truce with the steel employers
is near. Tighe refused to divulge
what the truce proposals are.
He did state, however, that all
negotiations with the employers are
entirely in the hands of Bill Green
and our attorney"
In other words, the steel workers
who are members of the A. A. are
now enjoying the somewhat ques-
tionable distinction of having the
president of the American Fedora
ton of Labor and a lawyer, Charl-
ton Ogburn, as the sole custodians
OF their interests in a situation
where not even their own union
officials are sitting in on the con-
ferences with the steel captains.

that individual" contracts should

MADRID, Dec. 2. - The Spanish
workers, despite defeat in the armed
uprising, are valiantly resisting every
fascist attack Of the reactionary
Lerroux-Gil Robes government as
proven by the second countrywide
metallurgical strike just called.
The strike follows directly upon
the publishing in the Official Ga
zette Of orders requiring the indus
try to go on a 48-hour week, sup-
planting the existing 44-hour week.
It was planned here for the strike
to begin at Vizcava, thence spread

eventually including other allied in

Big Response
To Congress
On Insurance
Sponsoring Committee
NJ APPS Intensive
Delegate Drive

NEW YORK.-Half million
copies of the call to the National
Congress for Unemployment and So
cial Insurance to be held in Wash
ington on Jan. 5, and 7, will be
distributed in the next ten days in
an intensified drive for delegates
and funds for the Congress, the Ma
tional Sponsoring Committee an
nounced yesterday. Shops, unions
and lodge meetings and neighbor-
hoods will be covered by the distri-
button.
Recent events have improved the
conditions for our work." declared
Herbert Benjamin, executive secre-
tary of the National Organizing
Committee. Large masses who en-
tertained illusions about what
might be expected from Roosevelt
and Congress now realize that all
the prediction promises were out
right receptions. Roosevelt an
nounced at his recent Conference
on Social Security that he has no
intention of sponsoring an unem-
ployment insurance plan that can
benefit those now unemployed. He
has stated that old-age pensions are
not on the immediate program OF
the administration.
"Those who aim to win unem-
ployment and social insurance can
now see that only the forces
grouped around the workers Con-
gress and only by our own united
struggle can we compel the govern
ment and employers to enact sys-
tenn of social insurance. The i'm
portance of the National Congress
is thus further emphasized by the
events of the past few weeks. To
make this clear to the masses in the
trade unions, fraternal organiza-
lions and among all other interested
groups is the task of our sponsoring
committees and supporting organ
izations."
Twenty-Five thousand copies of
the call to the Congress have al
ready been sent out to union, pro-
fessional and fraternal groups as
well as to unemployment organiza-
tons throughout the country.
Widespread Response
Response to these calls has been
widespread, involving church and
fraternal societies as well as trade
union and unemployment organiza-
tons. Cities as far apart as Great
Falls, Mont, and Birmingham Ala,
are certain of sending delegates to
the National Congress. In Great
Falls, the County Trades and Labor
Council, and Carpenters Local 286
have endorsed the Congress, while
in Birmingham, Locals 1889 and
1855 of the United Textile Workers,
the Dairy Drivers Local of the In
ternational Brotherhood of Team
sters, and the Dairy Employees,
federal local of the American Fed
Grafton of Labor, have also en-
dorsed the Congress. 1t is expected
that more A. F. of L. unions in this
city will give their support to the
Congress. Twelve A. F. of L. Unions
were represented at recent prelim-
mary conference in Birmingham.
Delegated conferences and mass
meetings in support of the congress
are being arranged throughout the
country ALL through the month of
December. Tag days and house to
house canvassing for funds are also
being planned.
