Apparently doomed to spend its days in sleep contemplation, Weepah sud- denly took on a new lease of life. | Now it is beginning to take on the jaspect of an old mining camp in j boom days. Hundreds continue to flock into the town, some of them to stake out claims as far as ten miles away from the original strike. A brisk business is being done in claims, .

Since the passing of Eugene V. Debs, C. E. Ruthenberg was the outstanding militent leader of the forces in America working for the dawn of a better day. Regardless of differences over tactics it is a mat- ter of record that nobody could ques- tion the ability or sincerity of the late Communist leader. Just as Amer- icans of today honor and remember the outstanding abolitionists of yes- terday—Phillips, Garrison, Lovejoy, John Brown and Lincoln; so in a day that is yet to dawn Americans will pay hdmage to the memory of such militants of our day as Debs, John Reed and C, EB.

Ruth- enberg was a wise and courageous leader, who never wavered in his fight against the exploiters of labor, Ruth- enberg’s death grieves us, but it will not check us in our fight for the emancipation of the working class. We will ‘close our ranks’ and continue the struggle.” ih *. .

Together with all, members of Workers (Com- munist) Party of America and all the workers in revolutionary movement we mourn the loss of this fighter in the ranks of our forces, “Memory of C. E.
