a t WILLIAM Z. FOSTER. With a big red welcome parade scheduled for this afternoon, rain or shine, a huge de- monstration at Madison Square Garden to- morrow afternoon, a Communist election drive, the most successful in the history of the American working class movement just drawing to an eventful conclusion, with dozens of unions and other organizations proclaiming their support of their standard bearers, Foster and Gitlow, the Workers (Communist) Party of America is completing its first great Red election campaign which has carried the message of class struggle to hundreds of cities state of the union. and in practically every The election tours of Foster and Gitlow, presidential and vice-presidential candidates of the Workers Party, have demonstrated that the American working class is receptive to the message of the Communists. By the opposition, the resistance, the terror of the bosses and the capitalist parties, as well as by the sympathetic attention of thousands of workers hitherto untouched, has this fact been demonstrated. In the land of lynch-law the ne gluteal orkers of New York!

Among the mine workers, among the textile slaves, before the steel workers, among the western lumber workers, and eastern needle trades workers, before women workers and young workers, the Red message of working class emancipation has been proclaimed and reechoed from the masses of the proletariat.

Part of his wisi has already been fulfilled, Beside the grave of Rutherberg and Mc- Manus and a few feet behind the grave of Jack Reed, lies half of the remains of the American militant. The urn containing his ashes which is now in charge of Karl! Reeve, well-known American Com- munist who has been at the Leni» School at Moscow during the past three years, will be taken to. Chicago | and will be buried there beside tke grayes of the Haymarket Marty: who were executed’ forty years ago. The ceremony marking the buriat of Haywood’s remains coincides with the observance oi the fortieth anni- versary of the execution of the five Jabor leaders, inc'uding Albert Par- sons and August Spies, who were executed because they led the move- ment in Chicago for the eight hour day. The Chicago mar were executed November 11, 1887. | A Lifelong Militant. } Haywood, born in Salt Lake City, Utah, in 1869, was already active in 1892 in strikes of metal miners in the west.

Haywood A TRIBUTE Haywood, hard-rock miner and rebel, towers like a granite cliff over the stony steeps of American labor his-" tory. His life is his own monument, a symbol of the strug- gle of his class. Never for one instant did he waver in loyalty to the working class, He was born with the work- ers and died with the workers. Haywood fought for his class. He was its blunt, rugged fist, striking straight from the shoulder at the direct personification of capitalism—the boss. Born on the frontier of the Old West, a miner at nine years of age, deprived by toil and hardships of an educa- tion, Haywood, like his class, learned as he fought. His school was the struggle itself. Impressed in his boyhood with the martyrdom of the ; militant miners who were maligned and murdered in Penn- sylvania as ‘‘Molly Maguires,” he absorbed the lessons of class justice meted out to.the Haymarket victims-in 1887 during the struggle for the 8-hour day, and matched these epic, battles between capital and labor into the drama of his own life. BECAME REVOLUTIONIST. When, far underground in the hot stopes of a mine at Silver City, Idaho, he turned off his air drill one night ; in the early years of this century to take up work as an official of the Western Federation of Miners, he was already a socialist, in the days when that word stood for class struggle. He had seen the capitalist class dictatorship in all its naked brutality with its soldiery and bull-pens in the Coeur d’Alenes. Before Moyer, making common cause with the reactionary bureaucracy of the A. F. of L., devitalized the old Western Federation of Miners and betrayed the miners to the operators, the Western Federation of Miners, under Haywood’s leadership, was the vanguard of the trade union movement of America. A The Western Federation of Miners was a trade union so true to labor’s interests that thousands would fly to arms to defend it with their lives. Its militancy, as shown by the bitter struggles of Cripple Creek, Butte, Goldfield and other battle fronts of labor history, can well serve as a lesson to the unorganized workers of America today in their struggle under Communist and left wing leadership to organize new unions on the basis of class struggle. OUSTED BY YELLOW LEADERS. In those struggles, Haywood became a socialist far more advanced than the sniveling reformists who headed Continued on Pagz Three Eleven Years After All Power Went to Soviets By SOL AUERBACH.
