Workers (Communist) Party. One of the courses given is public speaking. So many workers in the trade unions have really revolutionary thoughts and ideas, that if correctly formulated and expressed would be a tremendous force for agitation and propaganda and general educational development of the Communist and working class movement. To be able to speak to a group of workers on strike, the ability to crystalize the sentiments and desires of the left wing factions in the unions, to give life and form, clarity of pur- pose to revolutionary opinions and|/ ideas is the central in the course, , . How ‘many Communists and work- ers are there who feel and know they understand the fundamental concepts of the class struggle? Surely there are thousands of trade unionists who understand the fakery and treachery of the trade union officials, Yet that same worker suffers from timidity, self-consciousness and nervousness when it comes to an open expression of his or her thoughts. The public speaking class deals with and corrects these false weaknesses and seeming point ent courses, learning, studying and qualifying as the future leaders of the working class. Self-criticism by the students from a constructive point of view, the indi- vidual preparation on topics directly relating to the trade unions, i. e. “The Labor Party,” “Collaboration,” “Amalgamation,” ete., are of vital in- terest to every live progressive and radical worker. It therefore becomes an important duty of every such worker to bring directly to the attention of his local the question of a contribution for the New York Workers’ School. Help the Workers’ School to help the working class. Workers’ dollars will create working class leaders. The workers’ unions and the Workers’ School, that is an important question and necessarily, the drive must get the active and wholehearted support it deserves.

Maych 9 — At a meeting of over 600 South Slay work- ers at which Novak spoke, the reac- tionary elements under the leadership of M.

These questions that were asked by the re- actionaries were met with jeers from the assembled workers and cries of “Throw out the spies,’ the provoca- teurs” were heard front all parts of the hall. : Provocateur Ejected from Hall. Novak answered this provocateur if he wanted to know ‘now what his name was and how he ‘had entered this country and for what purpose, be should come to the hall in a unt- form and not as .a private person. This drew a great applatise from those that had assembled, The reactionary element was then thrown out of the hall by the police that they had brought to disrupt the meeting. The meeting closed in an orderly manner, * This action of the reactionayies was an attack on the Communists, as on the next day elections were being held in the Croation Benefit Society. Despite their desperate attacks on the Communists, the Communists won the election. All five delegates that were elected are either Communists or are members of the progressive bloc.

The Committee, which represents more Yhan 15,000 workers in the Amalgamated Lace Workers, the Tapestry Carpet Workers, the Knit- goods Workers, and the International Mule Spinners and the American Fe- deration of Textile Operatives, endor- sed the textile strike that is being conducted by the United Front Com- mittee. It instructed its secretaries to write all affiliated organizations to recommend that financial assistance to the striking workers in Passaic be sent immediately to the General Re- lief Committee. “As the Federated Textile Union is a powerful body, aid will prove very valuable to us. It shows that we have the support of important tex- tile unions,” Mr, Vozibord commented. The Federated Textile Unions have decided upon the initiative of the’ United Front Committee, to call/a conference for amalgamation, inviting all textile organizations to sendy re- presentatives. This marks an import- ant step in the attempt to unite all extile unions in one big industrial nion, : The Executive Board also decided to give full organizational and finan- cial support to any organizer that the United Front Committee will send | to Philadelphia to organize the wool-) en and textile workers there.

Sampilote, special representative of the Mongol- ian Republic, has arrived here after a half-year spent in Germany buying | machinery for his native country. His | purchases included equipment for | brick kilns, sawmills, and motor -re< pair shops. The need for the latter item. comes from the development. of motor transport routes across _ the. Gobi desert. Military supplies for General Fehg come over this high- way. How_yital it is to the Chinese nationalist forces is evident from the fact that aside from one at Canton the other two arsenals in China are in the hands of the reactionary militarists. Sampilone describes the Mongolian Republic as of a parliamentary rather than Soviet character, It was estab- lished in 1924. The capital is Utga. The country has a population of a mil- lion. Most of the inhabitants raise cattle and sheep, Soviet Influence Predominant. The Mongolian Republic has a num- ber of advisers, most of them from the adjoining Buriat Soviet Republic. The parliamentary sessions last two to three months annually.» Between sessions the country is controlled by a presidium, The army numbers be- tween 30,000 and 40,000 and is trained on Russian lines. The new republic occupies a most important strategic position, lying be- tween the Soviet Union and north- western China, which is Feng’s sphere of influence.

The following was adopted: (1) Appointment of officers. (2) In- vestigation of groups. (3) Shop re- ports. (4) Liebknecht memorial meet- ing. After the election of officers, it was decided to investigate the shop upon which ‘the group “was. concentrating. With this in view Comrade K. was in structed to receive definite information about her shop. Instructions were then issued to Comrade B. to write to the district shop campaign commit- tee on the question of starting a fac- tory campaign among the young radical workers.

According to~ press reports the challenge was ac- cepted on the day of the Russian team’s departure to Strassburg and the proposal was to play off the game in the Pantheon on January 17. For this reason the game scheduled for Berlin against the all-star Norwegian team had to be postponed until the 24th, At the same time the team received a challenge from Madrid but this could not be accepted because of passport difficulties.
