Such a position is, of course, a grotersue travesty on years longer than I, that has always been Robert Minor, Bob Minor is one of those great gifted revolutionaries, like John Reed, whonf even our enemies must respect. He is the living answer to their customary sneering remark that revolutionaries “are in the revolution for what they can get out of it.”- Robert Minor is one who has been giving wholeheartedly without stint to the revolution all those gifts of which the bourgeoisie still grievously feel tdap loss.

Cliff felt blue when Lentz left. He felt sorry that he was going. He liked Lentz. he was the only pal he had. But if Lentz hadn't got fired he sure would have stuck here, Cliff reasoned. It’s the damn fore- man. Cliff told Weber about Lentz get- ting fired. “Yes, it’s gettin’ rotten, an’ if we don’t do somethin’ about it we'll all go to the dogs.” “What can you do?
