An elementary class (for begin- ners) and an advanced class are planned, These classes are to begin Sunday, Nov. 29. For the many for- eign-born ‘comrades these classes will be of extreme value, and we hope that a great number will attend. Class in Public Speaking. Many of our comrades are members of unions, but are unable to speak on ‘the union floor. Still others who will soon be in the unions are in the same position; they are not equipped for putting forward the party position. Every party member who wishes to speak so that he may better serve the cause should not fail to join the speakers’ class. This class will be- gin on Tuesday, Dec. 1. The English class will be held twice a week—Cunday mornings at 10:00 and Wednesday evenings at 8:00. The class for public speaking will be held once a week on Tuesday nights, at 8:00. The fee for each course, which wilt last 6 months, will be $2.50 for the entire course, and must be paid in advance. These classes will be open to both party and non-party members, and will be held at the district of- fice. The instructors are: Sadie Amter and Philip Shatz. Quick ac- tion in enrollment is asked. Class in Trade Unionism. There will also be conducted a class in trade unionism. For this purpose each branch should select a number of active trade unionists, who will be required to attend this class. Quotas shall be assigned to the branches on the basis of 40 to attend the class, This course will last 3 months, and members who do not di- rectly participate as students may at- tend as auditors. This course consists of round-table discussions on the tac- tics of Communists in the trade un- ions, and all the problems that con- front the Communists on the trade union field. Intensified activity on the part of the Communists in the trade unions requires a good knowledge of poli- cies and tactics. Various unions and the different locals require different tactics. The purpose of the discus- sion will be to make the comrades fa- miliar with our policies and tactics so that the blunders of the past may be avoided and healthy constructive work carried on. The comrades selected by the branches for this course are compel- led to attend. The fee for the course will be $2, the course lasting thru 12 sessions. The fee is to be paid either by the comrade himself or by the branch. The course will begin on Sunday, Dec. 6. The class will meet every Sunday at 10a. m. at the district office. This course is confined to party and Young Workers’ League members, both as auditors and students. Enrollment for all these classes should take place immediately, either thru the bragches or at the district office. FOREIGN EXCHANGE.

In addition to a systematic DAILY WORKER stamp and subscription drive, the members assessed themsel- ves 50c. a month for The DAILY WORKER fund. Practically all the members present had assisted The DAILY WORKER as much as“their limited proletarian means would permit, nevertheless we were able to set our first donation from this new international branch, amounting to $3.00. Ways and means for covering the union with our literature and to build- ing and bolshevizing our party also were discussed. ~ Undoubtedly this newly organized international branch, which is truly international in its composition, will hold many good things in store for our party.
