STRIKE FRONT SPREAD TO NEW MINES IN TENN. “ Feb. 4 Nation-Wide Unemployment Insurance Day! ALI SOUTHERN COAL FIELDS TO Lenin Points the Way! “Lenin is dead. . . .!” These words, flashing around the world on January 21, 1924, brought a stunning blow of sorrow to the heart of every worker conscious of Lenin's role as the great strategist of proletarian revolution. Lenin was—and is—irreplaceable. Of him, A. Losovsky, General Secretary of the Red International of Labor Unions and one of the hun- dreds of those who have written upon Lenin and his work, said: “There are epochs in human history when single individuals incorporate the experiences and historical tasks of whole classes. . . As the class struggle develops in intensity, these individuals appear in the foreground and assume their greatest importance at a time when the social antagonisms reach their highest point. . . . Only in the 19th century when the proletariat came to feel itself as @ class, do we find the reflection of its interests in the genius, Marx. Lenin is the direct successor of Marx.” ‘When Lenin died, the leaders of world capitalism chuckled with glee. With their bourgeois stupidity in the estimation of “great men,” which does not take account of the connection between the rise of a “great man” and the rise of a class, they thought: “Now that Lenin is dead, all that he built will go to smash.” But though Lenin died, Leninism lived on! It lived on and it grew! And it still grows because the world working class, the proletariat, having |tional Labor conquered power in the land of the Czars under Lenin’s leadership, is still advancing on a world-wide front under the banner of Lenin's teach- ings to put an end to capitalism in every country of the globe. And all that Lenin built did NOT go to smash, as the capitalists thought. On the contrary, the capitalists have gone to smash! As one of the cleverest of British capitalists, the Marquis of Lothian, only re- | the appeal against the Scotts- cently admitted: “Events prove that what Marx and Lenin predicted is | boro lynch verdicts, sentencing | eight innocent Negro lads to-burn. in being realized with the most uncomfortable accuracy.” Every worker.can see with his own eyes the andnswerdble facts! ‘There, in the Soviet Union, where the working class with the guidance of Leninism are building socialism, victoriously wiping out unemployment, increasing wages and improving every condition of the masses—the forces of progress rule because the working class rules! Here, in the capitalist world; here in capitalist America, “the richest nation,” millions go hungry among mountains of food they have pro- duced; homeless amid palaces they have built; ragged though they weave enough to clothe the world! Hunger, anxiety, poverty, war—today these are all summed up in one word—capitalism! Today, there is no worker who has freed himself from the lies of the capitalists or the foul deceit of those agents of capitalists who are “‘so- clalists” in words and fascists in action, but who looks to Leninism for guidance in the struggle against capitalism. And because Lenin founded the world Communist Party, and because the Communist Party daily guides the struggles of the working class under the banner of Leninism, the workers more and more look to the Communist Party as their own party, the party of their great leader— Lenin. Let every worker, then, who on this, the eighth anniversary of Lenin’s |ig predicted that the fight in the death, wishes to enter the ranks of those who fight for all that Lenin fought for; who would free all who toil from the prison hell that is called capitalism; let every such worker come into the Communist Party—the party of Lenin!
