Accordingly priests and parsons have for cen- turies already held this patient phantom responsible for every earth- 1 epidemy Howe depressions and wars, the subtle truth of the Pope's latest appears im absolute ac- cordance with facts, if we give the right interpretation to the extensible conception: God. None ever crossed the path of God: thus every be- liever has in his mind a god which corresponds with the wishes and de- res of this particular individual. Even a god is not able to govern single handed a complicated enter- prise like our earth. In fact, we know, he does not do it. From the Pope down to the last subordinated official in church and state a host of people do the ruling business * for him. For more than nineteen hun- dred years churchmen have preached and taught Christianity. Did the world profit by it? This one doubts when reading that for instance in the last 430 years the nations in Europe (all except Turkey, Christian nations) spent 2029 yeers in wars. Our doubts are greatly increased when we keep in mind that the Three-in-one-God of Christendom ATLY WORKER, NE its and Prophets By EDITH BERKMAN | Kentucky fighting against the starvatic and extra-legal supp: which places in a very clear working clas This ar —(Editorial nete). miners, their wives and children, who are coal operators and their government, the policy that the coal operators are trying to enforce by every form of legal izers of the strikers, house searches and arrests of strikers, the blowing up of relief stations, the framing up and mur- der of the militant local organizers of the National Miners Union, ete.—will especially be interested in this article ligion, one of the principal issues raised against the Com- munist Party and the National Miners Union in Kentucky by the coal operators and their agents, in the ranks of the icles shows the very close connection between the profits of the Morgans, Rockefellers and the interna- tional financiers of all countries, and the prophets of god yn program and policy of the jailing of the leading organ- way the part played by re- | nakedness of the multitude the re- sult of lack of wool, flax or cotton.

Hell!” not enough advantage is being taken by our movement of the great possi- bilities in revolutionary training of- fered by these volumes and pamph- lets. The Little Lenin Library In addition to the Collected Works of Lenin, contained in the larger volumes, International Publishers has made possible a much wider distribu- tion of Lenin’s writings by issuing his basic and most important writings in pamphlet form. The Little Lenin Li- brary, of which six small volumes have already been published, once it is completed will comprise a set which every revolutionary worker will want to have on his shelf. There can be no better beginning in acquainting oneself with Lenin’s most important writings than by reading the Little Lenin Library. The Teachings of Karl Marx, vol- ume one in the Library, is a study of the theory and practice of Marxism, which Lenin wrote for a Russian Encyclopedia, in which he treats his | subject very lucidly and concisely, outlining comprehensively the theore- tical basis of the revolutionary move- ment throughout the world. / In The War and the Second In- ternational, second in the series Lenin discusses the role of the so- called Socialist International on the eve and during the World War, the oppertunism which caused its col- | lapse, and the fight of the revolu- tionary workers within the Interna- tional against the betrayal of its leaders, a fight which finally led to the establishment of the Third (Communist) International. Reading the volume today, the worker will find that it applies equally as well to the Socialist Party of Norman ‘Thomas and Heywood Broun. Written jointly with G. Zinoviev, Socialism and War, volume 3 of the Library, describes the Bolshevik po- licy on the war and contains a thorough analysis of the attitude of the social patriots towards the im- perialist conflict. In this work is Lenin’s Writings--Indispensible to Today’s Struggles fully developed the slogan of turn- ing the imperialist war into a civil war and it is especially appropriate today on the eve of an even bigger world war. Although written thirty years ago during the formative period of the Bolshevik Party What Is To Be Done?, No. 4 in the Lenin Library, is invaluable in acquiring a clearer approach to the organizational prob- Jems of the Communist Party today. In it are discussed the fundamental principles of organization for struggle and tactics to be used by a revolu- tionary working-class party. In The Paris Commune and The Revolution of 1905, volumes 5 and 6 of the Library, are published-Lenin’s articles, speeches amd extracts from Jarger works on these two events which played such an important part in shaping the policy and tactics .of the Bolsheviks in the Revolution of 1917, In the near future the Little Lenin Library will be enlarged with new volumes containing the writings of Lenin on religion; on the national question which will be of special value in this country in relation to understanding the Negro question; his writings on American problems, in which he was highly interested, which will include his famous letter to the American Workers. New and revised translations o/ some of the basic works of Lenin which were found to have beer carelessly translated and robbed of some of their spirit and content ir the earlier translations, will also soor. be published by International Pub- lishers. The Lenin Institute in Mos- cow, which is preparing the com- plete works of Lenin in thirty vol- umes, is cooperating in the new translations which will include State and Revolotion, Imperialism, “Left” Communism, The Proletarian Revo- Intion, etc. International Publishers has alsc made available the six translated larger volumes of Lenin’s Collected Works, in a special set half the original price, in good and durable binding, which can be obtained on @ subscription basis. Future large edi- tions of Lenin’s works, translated from the editions prepared by the Lenin Institute, will be published shortly and can be obtained in the cheaper edition only by subscribers to [the first six volumes. The larger works of Lenin, as ‘wel! as the writing contained in the pamphlets, make a substantial stari in a revolutionary library for workers’ study circles in the various organi- zations and revolutionary unions and units of the Communist Party. Cir- culation Mbraries, the study circles will find, is an inexpensive method of making these classics available to all members. The works of Lenin should serve as a basis for such a library, which will keep’ immeasur- ably in clarifying the various prob- lems that face the workers daily and serve as a valuable tool in organizing the working-class. Effect on Workers of Noise and Vapor in Industry Workers in industry using machi- nery that make great noise are being made deaf, a recent report shows. Out of 1,040 workers examined in seven factories, deafness was found in 246 or 23. per cent. The deafness of 155 of these workers was directly attributable to the conditions of their work, 91. had previous ear trouble which was aggravated by working around the noise-making machinrey, The greatest number of those deaf were subjected to the greatest amo- unt of noise. Sixty-sts out of ninety- six workers in tin can factories domt- nated by a stamping machine. The report points out that the noise is preventable and undue. It points out that the huge noise-mak- ing machinery can be isolated. The factory owners crowd as many ma: chines as possible in one room, they aren't interested how many worker: become deaf. Workers in the tndus- tries where there are such conditions should demand isolaiton of the ma- chines, it is either isolation of the machines or deafness of the workers Another cause of deafness is the poor ventilation provided in factories for carrying off vapors from spray booths, etc., tthe vapor is found to have an effect of hardening the ceru mof the ear of the workers. Workers tn factories with such con- ditions should form grievance com- mittees and demand improvements. me not to make it public as he wished to keep his plight from the knowledge of his family. He is one of the hundreds of thou- sands in New York and millions over the length and breadth in the richest country in the world.

The capitalist rulers that guard the fortunes of their He gaye me his name and asked ' bosses, the Morgans, Rockefellers and Schwabs, have condemned the unem- ployed to hunger and death.
