Tho we are only 15 students at the school we found it important and ne- fecessary to organize ourselves in various committees and groups. And what do you think we did? We cer- tainly didn’t hesitate to elect at the meeting of the students’ body a stu- dents school committee which consists of comrades—Walter Burke, Detroit; Nat Kay, Boston; Philip Frankfield, N. Y, C.; Valeria Meltz, Chicago and M. Horovitz, of Rochester, N. Y. This committee has as its function the supervision of the work in the school between the meetings of students’ body. We also felt that the National Young Workers League school should have its own publication and sure enough, we elected a committee that will issue our red students’ paper, which we hope will reflect the work and accomplishments of the national school. Do you think we forgot about re creation and social activities? Of course not! We made sure to elect 5 comrades who will tackle the re- creational actiyities problem, Discipline is another thing we will teach our student comrades.

RINDAL (Worker Correspondent) LOS ANGELES, Nov. 12. — Soviet Russia was in the minds and on the lips and tongues of many people in the Music-Art Hall yesterday. In the afternoon, a capacity house—and then some—of workers held a splendid cel- ebration of the minth anniversary of the Russian revolution, The subject in the evening was, “Recent Develop- ments in Russia,” by Abraham Pletkin, The Pioneers opened the afternoon celebration by the singing of the In- ternational. “The Scarlet Banner,” “Bank Upon the Corner,” “The Red Flag Unites Us,” and “The Builder” were other songs given by the youngsters, Junior M. Rubin made a brilliant speech. So did a member of the Y. W, L. “Pio- neers,” recitation, by May Globerman was likewise fine. The musical pro- gram consisted of: A. R. Mandolin Orchestra; violin, Helen Airoff; piano, Auna Rosenfield, “Our Leader” and “Sickle and Hammer,” impressive songs by A. R. Freileit Gesang Verein played strongly on proletarian heart- strings. So did the 9th Year tableau, “Building Russia.” Help Daily Worker. Tom Lewis divided his speech be- tween showing the significance of the Russian revolution and the necessity of carrying out the slogan: KEEP THE DAILY WORKER. The collec- tion for OUR DABLY was $93.03. On a background of red, “Revolu- tion Comes” and the pictures of Kar! Marx, Lenin and Trotsky played an important part in the decoration of the Music-Art Hall. The celebration ended as it started—everybody on their feet singing the International. Russia Leads Reconstruction, At the evening meeting of the open forum, A. Plotkin proved—by figures and other facts—that the First Work- ers’ Republic is nearer the pre-war level today than any other country in Europe, And the source of his infor- mation camé from where?—Moscow? —No!—From journals issued by Wall Street. Russia Jails Bosses—Not Strikers “Are there any strikes in Soviet Russia?” someone asked the speaker. “Yes, sometimes,” Plotkin answered. “But when the workers do strike in Soviet land,” he continued, “they have the full support of the government. The employers go to jail, tt any,—not the strikers.” Russian songs were on the program; also a demonstration of “Revolution- ary Rhythm,” by John Bovington. The collection of $30 went to’ the striking cloakmakers of New York. Weisbord Outwits Mayor Who Tries to Stop Mass Meeting By a Worker Correspondent, NEW HAVEN, Conn., Nov, 12, — Sunday Nov. 7, Albert Weisbord spoke in Derby, Conn, The audience was made up of textile and metal workers from the towns of Derby, Shelton, and Ansonia. The number of people pres- ent was about 140, which is very good for the locality, Police Enter Hall, Before Comrade Weisbord began to speak, ‘three policemen entered the hall, and when he was {ntroduced by the chairman, these three “cops” moved up so that they were right be- hind the audience, Then Weisbord began to talk. Wher he came to where he showed how one of the factors influencing’the success of the Passaic strike was the fact that many of the strikers were returned soldiers and therefore hardened fight- ers, the mayor of Derby interrupted with cries of “sedition.” He then for- bade him to say anymore about the war, threatening to close the meeting. When, however, Comrade Weisbord hinted very strongly that, as an at- torney and an American citizen, he would defend the rights granted him by the constitution, the mayor made a weak reply and the “opposition” sub- sided, The mayor left, the three police- men remained in the hall, and the meeting went on peacefully. But be- hind the stolid face of the Italian, Polish, Hungarian,-and Slavish work- ers, there was a hot resentment against such Proceedings in this land of “free speech.” Afterwards a collection was taken up, @ few questions were asked and \clearly and definitely answered by Comrade Welsbord, ‘CURR ie EVENTS By T J) OF lanerty.

He encountered opposition in the persons of some aristocrats of salvation army labor, namely those who were pulling down the five smackers per day. It was the old story of the hot dog jumping on the fried chicke#. When the tarnished stars were separated from the blood of the christian fighters, General Booth, who owns the Salvation Army, came on the scene and promised that he would give the Korean’s demands his “earnest consideration. And no doubt he will provided the Korean keeps his knuckles polished and doesn’t fire until he {s ready. Woodmen Organization May Have to Quit on Account Bad Finances — _.
