It was essential now th should see clear! The had sphere of the alley. The instinctive feeling of proletarian responsibility on which they had acted, required a poll- tical consciousness. Above all the question burnt in their minds: What would happen tomorrow? One of the workers took the re- port and without a word went out. Thomas looked at his watch and said: “Comrades, it is now half-past two; we must be finished in less than an hour at the latest. I propose that| Kurt gives a short report and that we then decide what is to he done.”—He turned deliberately to Kurt. As soon as he saw Paul's dejected face he knew that it would be a mistake to count on him today. Kurt Was Different. But Kurt was a changed man from henceforward. His clumsy move- ments had become hard and deter- mined; all his thoughts were con- centrated on essentials and on the The builder's laborer, Kurt in was one of those pro- letarians who in unforeseen emer- gencies become revolutionary leaders, without knowing it themselves.

But it is use- less to fight for the murderer who hhas consciously violated the thousand- | year-old commandment. ‘Thou shalt not kill’ What is the use of. de- manding his pardon, if one can look on in cold blood, and see how ail pre- parations are made to shoot down workers who violate an order of the Police President Zorgiebel of 1929?
