By a Worker Correspondent BRIDGEPORT, Conn.—A colored worker named William Kaizer was sent by the city to the hospital for heart trouble. He stayed there about a few days, and they sent him home and said he was able to go home. But he was not. And they told him to go to the Welfare for treatment, and so they gave him a shot, and sent him home, he died las nizht, and was left on the floor dead. The doctor came and said he could not do anything. Then the cops came and they could not do anything, This worker lay on his floor all night, and the body was there over 48 hours before it was taken away.

The salary I make now averages $9 to $10 a week, in a coat shop. We work piece work. Even though it is a union shop, conditicns are not union, The boss is in with the union, and whatever he says goes. I joined the union because otherwise the boss would have fired me.

To pose these questions is to answer them. In most cases the answers would be in the negative. This same negative attitude is shown toward the foremost school for “Training for the Class Struggie.” T cold attitude to- ward the Workers School was the reason that called ‘for the adoption of the following resolution by the meeting of the National Board of the Trade Union Unity League on July 11, 1933. “Recognizing the increasing need for basic theoretical train- ing for the members, and par- ticularly the leading cadres in the revolutionary unions, in the work of the Red Trade Union Opposition, and especially in the concentration work in the fac~ tories, a training that is indis- pensable for effective revolution- ary leadersh'p in the struggles of the American working class, the Executive Board of the Trade Union Unity League goes on record as endorsing the Work- ers School as the Central Train- ing School in our movement, whose function is to develop trained leaders in our ranks. “We therefore call upon all revolutionary unions and groups to give every form of support to the Workers School, and urge cur affiliated unions and? opposi- tion groups in all cities to con- der the Workers School in their rospective torritory as their school, to enter immediately into conference fer the effective col- laboration to establish a con- tnuous and systematic scholar- ship basis, with arrangements for such spec'al courses as can pos- sibly be instituted for the gen- eral and special needs of our unions.” This resolution though brief, is quite clear, But the functionaries go on as though this recélution wes of no concern to them. he Workers School sent to every union and oppo- sition group its catalogue, scholar- ship credentials and a letter asking for students for the fall term which starts on Sept. 25th.
