THE SOVIET UNION : | American classes to European labor.

But eyen the liberal “Fremdenblatt” of Hamburg sought to dismiss the whole question as merely “Communist agitation.” ‘The total result has been, however, to set all Germany thinking about t 3 evusually accepted arid rainbow-hued | the Scottsboro cay Sea On the porch of a library in the Park of Culture and Rest in Moscow. oO FRANK BORICH |REPORTS ON MI BASIS OF UNION NEW YORK.—At the National Ex-! ecutive Board meeting of the Trade) Union Unity League, a report was| made on organization in the mining industry. Eorich, National Secretar} of the} National Miners Union, in reporting] for the National Miners Union em-| phasized the correctness of the de-} cisions of the Red International ot Labor Unions plenum and told how the practical application of these de- |cisions can change the present bad situation in the union and make the} National Miners Union the leader of | the struggles of the miners against | the new fierce wage attacks through- | cut the entire industry. | Borich emphasized how the mis-! takes of the last strike in Pennsy vania led to thousands of miners be- ing blacklisted, the fact that for a long time the basis of the union con- sisted primariiy of these blacklisted | miners, and only now the first be- 4ginnings are made to build up the union on the basis of the mines and the drawing in of employed miners. He pointed out that the mistakes with regard to lack of preparation in the Penn-Ohio strike of last year were made even to a greater extent in the Kentucky fields. In Kentucky we faced far more serious problems | than in the Penn sirike (lack of work- ers’ mass organizations, newness‘ of our union, severe terror, etc.) and there the lack of preparations were |even more rujnous than in the Penn strike. Mistakes In Regard to U. M. W. Borich analyzed the results of our underestimation of the role of the United Mine Workers of America and the failure for a long time to be- gin work in the U.M.W.A. in Mlinois | and the Anthracite. This made it | Possible for the U.M.W.A. burocrats and their Musteite allies to continue |misleading the miners. | Borich gave particular attention to the fact that the U.M.W.A. was able {to call a strike under its leadership in Eastern Ohio in the same fields where last year the N.M.U. had con- ducted the strike. Unquestionably the mistakes of the last strike led by the N. M. U. were much responsible for this. But even more important was the failure to develop any strug- gles in Eastern Ohio during the en- tire period since the last strike, the failure to overcome the fact that the N.M.U. in Eastern Ohio consisted only of blacklisted miners, the fail- ure to see and counteract the in- roads of the U.M.W.A., and finally the failure to strengthen and correct the District leadership in Eastern Ohio, There the comrades developed side by side the greatest open and sectarian opportunism, manifesting itself in a lack of faith in the mas- ses, in the possibility to build the N.MU. on the one hand, and in the complete underestimation of the pos- sibility of the U.M.W.A. to maneuver’ and call strikes and on the other hand in an underestimation of the influence of the U.M.W.A. and in open capitulation before the UM.W. A. There was an adoption of open right opportunist tactics and at the same time a natrow sectarian ap- proach which failed to reach the miners on the level of their under- standing, in the acceptance of the theory that we can not win the na- tive miners but must remain a union of the foreign born. Borich also spoke about the exist- ence of white chauvinism in the ranks of the N.M.U. and the failure to develop a concrete program of de- mands for the Negro miners. Some Gains However, he pointed out that the ;union is at the present time carry- ing through a definite consolidation. ‘That employed miners are being won to the union. M’ne branches of the union are beginning to be built. Attention is being given to strength- en the financial system of the union. ‘The union has in recent weeks led a number of small strikes in the Penn District. But the union must over- come the danger which was mani- fested in the past weeks and even in the National Miners Convention that this inner consolidation shall not be viewed as something separate from the development of the strug- gle against the offensive of the op- erators. This consolidation can only be carried through on the basis of the leadership of struggles of the {miners, ‘ servations of the delegates to a fel- | Red Square. | was red with the blood of the fath- U.

The heads of other dele- gations took the same stand on be- half of their respective governments. This is to be interpreted as a sign of the common desire to further cover up the increase of armament and the material aid being given to Japan for an attack upon the Soviet Unign. Cee ae MacDonald Urges Discussion of the World Trade by Lausanne Conference LONDON, June 1.—In an interview granted to the Daily Mail, Prime Minister MacDonald stated that the British Government will send its representatives to the Lausanne Con. ference which will take place on June the 16th with instruction to propose the widening of the discus- sion so as to cover not only repa- rations and war obligations but also tariffs and other general questions concerning the economic crisis. Imperialist war will, therefore, be discussed as the capitalist way out of the crisis. The preparation for intervention against the Soviet Un- jon will absorb the major part of the discussion, although probably under some kind of diplomatic mask. ene he PRAGUE.—The strike of the Slo- vakian landowners in the Galanta district has ended with the victory of the strikers whose ranks num- bered almost four thousand by the end of the strike.

And he expressed great admiration for the Russian people and their ways of natiral'‘social contact. No one, he said, has ever done anything in his presence Which irritated him. This engineer was an Australian. He has been in America. It is his honest opinion that the Russian people and their leaders are thoroughly imbued with the idea of making their lot on this earth as pleasant as science and human skill can make it. “There are delegations from France Germany, Australia, Turkey, Sweden, England, and several other countries, All received a great welcome; but they gave the Americans the great- est.
