Pn iss iaaaecnecgcs Recognize Workers’ Republic (Continued from page 4) Soviet Recognition Campaign in this country im- mediately upon the return of this delegation. * * * The reports being brought back, not only by the trade union delegation, but by visitors of every hue, are the kind that should interest even the most backward workers in this country. These reports show that the workers’ health is protected in the Soviet Union, better than in any other country in the. world. In the Soviet Union, under the Workers’ Government, the worker is pro- tected against all the ills that beset labor and make of life for the worker under capitalism one continuous agony. In the Soviet Union the worker is provided against old age, unemployment, sickness, accident and he prizes highly his annual two weeks’ vacation at the expense of the industry in which he toils. The security of life for the worker in the Soviet Union must appeal to the American worker faced with the insecurity of existence under capital- ist rule. Even the hostile capitalist press propaganda cannot hide these facts. * * * Then the big fact, “It Goes!” No one now speaks of the instability, of the probable overthrow of Sov- iet Rule. The Soviet Union has stood for ten years. In agriculture and industry, under Workers’ Rule, in spite of the war, the interventions, the civil wars, famine, the food, economic and financial blockades raised against it by the capitalist powers, the con- ditions have recovered far beyond those that pre- vailed under czarism. ‘ The Proletarian Dictatorship, that was denounced as a Bolshevik tyranny over workers and peasants that would ultimately crumble, still stands as the weapon of the toiling masses to bridge the gulf between capitalism and the new social order—Com- munism. This successful’ upward struggle of the Russian workers and farmers cannot help but have its tremendous appeal to American labor, in industry and on the land. 5 * ” * The question of Soviet Recognition may receive a better and more favorable discussion in the na- tional congress that convenes in Washington, in December, than it will get from the delegates to the. American Federation of Labor Convention in Los Angeles, in October. But that does not mean that the working class in the United States is not now more sympathetic than ever toward the working class in the Soviet Union. That sympathy and solidarity must be or- ganized in support of the demand for the Recognition and the Defense of the Union of Soviet Republics. VULCAN { j ] i] ' By HENRY REICH, Jr. ' (Dedicated to the Memory of Elbert Henry Gary.) \ The ancients sang a god of mighty girth ' Who forged his steel within the bowels of earth | ] Upon the sturdy anvil of the rocks. ' His bellows were the winds. ] Of hell were made by him. Of warriors and the swords that through the years Drip blood of battles. His name is Gary. You say this god is dead. OL AOE) OE AE OE) EE A AS AE A A A SED ER To toil and rest. : | The COMRADE Edited by the Young Such the dreadful things By Vulcan forged, the ancient poet sings. But I would sing you of a fiercer god Who rules today and wields a flaming rod Above his subjects in the seething mills, A god who crushes, breaks and often kills, ' { | i i] ' | ! ' ' i i | i ' { i \ ! ' ' i For this god are forged j By slaves, the guns of war, till Mars is gorged ' And spews them forth upon all earthly lands 1 To breed new wars. Within his greedy hands Is all the steel of peace, the ships, the rails ' The locomotives—and the steel for jails. | : ; ' | f His forge is belching and his slaving men Still sweat at mill and furnace, still they make Their own steel chains that none of them can break. The sky still flames where shoots the mighty blast And still shall flame till Red Dawn comes at last To kindle Revolution. Then these fires shall be Relit for workers and to make men free The burning locks The gleaming spears Yet look again— Some ruddy break of day Men shall awake and look about and say God Gary was a myth as was that old God Vulcan in the happy age of gold. Pioneers of America and Farmers’ Children A Page for Workers’ INTERNATIONAL YOUTH DAY International Youth Day will be celebrated here in America as well as the rest of the world during this week. This special young workers’ holiday was first started during the World War in Europe in 1915, as a protest against the most horrible bosses’ war.

The young workers and children all over the world, under the leadership of the Young Communist International must prepare to stop this war. We must go to the defense of Workers’ Russia and the Chinese Rev- olution. On International Youth Day all young work- ers and children should come out and demonstrate.

Poor Children Underweight Dear Comrades: One evening my mother came home from the Home and School League. She said that the doctor said that there were too many chil- dren underweight. But he did not say that tifose rich bosses ought to raise the wages of the poor working men so they could give their children more to eat, sé they will weigh the same as the children of the rich bosses do. Comradely yours, TRENE SAKALY. For the Cloakmakers Dear Comrades: “I am just going to write some things about a little girl. One day as I was going on a message for my teacher I happened to walk into a room just when a teacher asked a little girl who had a pin on which was written, “Buy Bonds For the Cloakmakers,” why she wore it to school. The little girl answered, “What do you think? My father is a worker and I stick up for him, and not for the boss, like you.” ~ Yours comradely, LAURA BORIM. PIONEER CHEER By JULIUS FISCHER. EES Abey!
