Kruse Lectures At
Lewis Institute On
Russia And Germany

On invitation of the Liberal Club"
of Lewis Institute, a leading technical
college in the Middle West with an
enrolment of $500 students, William
e. Kruse lectured in the school au-
ditorium on the subject of his recent
visit in Russia and Germany. An ex-
cellent attendance was assured when
upon request of the students, several
teachers dismissed evening classes to
permit them to attend.
Two reels of pictures were shown
in connection with the talk. Unfor-
tunately, the short version of the reg
ular Russia and Germany" film which
was shown by the speaker at the Uni
versity of Chicago, was going the
rounds of eastern colleges, showings
having already been made at Yale and
Swarthmore. On short notice the two
opening reels of the full length pic
ture were used at Lewis. These
showed the Youth Day demonstration
in Moscow and the great Moscow In
ternational Agricultural Exposition.
Conditions in Germany were then de.
scribed by the speaker, and several in
teresting questions on Russian educa.
ton were answered.

DETROIT CALLS
FARMER LABOR
CITY CONVENTION !
May 18th Meet Will
Vote For St. Paul

DETROIT, Mich, May 20.-A call
has been issued by a representative
group of trade unionists of Detroit
for city convention to be held on
May 25th for the purpose of organic
ing a branch of the Farmer-Labor
Party in this city.
The opening sentence of the call
endorses the June 18th convention in
the following terms: "The enclosed
Convention to be held in st. Paul,
Mimi, June 18th, presents an oppor-
tunity for the workers to register
their profound disapproval of the mis-
rule of the two old political parties
which the recent Washington expos
ures have shown to be equally the
tools of the privileged class"
The call for the convention is sign
ed by VIM. Reynolds, Carpenters I'm
ion No. 2140; Robert Funk, Tailors'
Union No. 229; Herman Richter, Car
penters' Union No. 42O; Edgar Owens,
for the Workers Party; Anna Krakai-
tbs, Federated Working Women's Or
CARNATIONS, Detroit; and George
Tries, Member Executive Board Of the
Federated Farmer-Labor Party.
The convention will be held in the
Bricklayers' Hall, 1925 Cass avenue,
beginning at 10 a. m. There has been
a strong movement for independent
political action in Detroit for some
time and it is expected that the call
will bring a big response from the
trade union movement as well as from
other organizations of workers in this
city.

It should not be difficult for the
National Executive Committee of the
Socialist Party to decide whether the
June 18th convention at st. Paul
offers more to truly revolutionary,
class conscious political party of the
working class than the Conference for
Progressive Political Action" To us
this seems a very simple question. 1t
can be answered by contrasting the
attitude of the groups behind the June
18th Convention and the Conference
for Progressive Political Action on
one point only, and on this point the
Socialist Party should have as much
information as any one else in the
United States.
The Socialist Party knows that the
Conference for Progressive Political
Action does not stand for independent
political action of the workers and
farmers. 1t knows that the Confer
ence for Progressive Political Action
has met three times and three times
refused to go on record for indepen-
dent political action by the workers
and farmers. 1t knows that even
now the Conference for Progress
sive Political Action is supporting
candidates on the old party tickets.
We cite as evidence the action of the
G. P. P. A. in the state of California,
which is fighting against Independent
political action and even goes so far
as to bring the prestige of the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor decision to
bear as a means of preventing the
workers and farmers of California
from supporting a movement for in
dependent political action of which,
contrary to the position of the ma
tional organization of the Socialist
Party, the state organization of the
Socialist Party of California is a
part.
In contrast to the position of the

SOCIALISTS LEARN ABOUT ST. PAUL. DETR
BY c. E. Ruthenberg

Conference for Progressive Political
Action asking the voters to support
candidates on the old party tickets,
the June 18th Convention is a call
for independent political action. The
June 18th Convention will not endorse
any old party candidates. The June
18th Convention and the state organ
izations affiliated with it will support
candidates on the Farmer-Labor ticket
only. The June 18th Convention
group has forever cut it's relationship
with the capitalist political parties.
This is the answer to the question
in the letter from the Executive Sec
rotary of the Socialist Party. The
facts are so plain that even the So
cialist Party cannot deny them. Will
the Socialist Party, in the face of
these facts, continue its afiliation
with the Conference for Progressive
Political Action or will it break away
from this group which still plays old
party politics and align itself with
the mass movement of workers and
farmers which is going forward to
the formation Of the class Farmer
Labor Party in this country.
Let the National Executive Com
mittee of the Socialist Party answer
that question.
No member of the Socialist Party
who has even the slightest conception
of the class basis of political strug-
giles will have any doubt as to what
the answer should be. Various local
and state groups of the Socialist
Party are already supporting the
June 18th Convention contrary to the
policy of the National Executive Com
mittee. They should demand that the
National Executive Committee of the
Socialist Party do likewise and cut
its affiliation with the betrayers of
the movement for independent politi-
cal action organized in the C. P. P. A.
