Opens Second Term
Especial to The Daily worker)

NEW YORK CITY.-The SEC
OND TERM of the WORKERS
SCHOOL, 1877 University Place, be-
gan Tuesday, Feb. 5.
The first term has proven that
the desire and need for truly pro-
letarian education are great. Espe-
cially necessary is systematic pro-
ietarian education that should help
the workers meet the political and
industrial emergencies that face
them in the struggle with the ruling
classes.
Education has SO far been mon
opolized by the master class to main
tain the working class IN subsection.
1t is the duty of the Working Glass
to break the wall of darkness with
which the capitalist class has sur
rounded them. WE MUST USE
THE WEAPON OF EDUCATION
TO HELP US ACHIEVE THE LIB
GRAFTON OF THE WORKING
CLASS.
The task that the Workers School
has set before it is huge, but inn
portant. For its aim is to make
the school force in American life.
Considering It's limited resources, il
must be said that the school has
been a great success, both morally
and educationally.
The second term begins with a
continuation of many of the courses
of the first term, as MARXISM,
HISTORY. EVOLUTION, PUBLIC
SPEAKING, LITERATURE, EN-
GLISH, advanced intermediate and
elementary. The following courses

About TrOt z k US
Fall s haiti d

More details of the successful
Lenin Memorial meetings in Los
Angeles have come by mail. In spite
Of rain Symphony Hall and hall at
the building for disabled veterans
were jammed TO the doors.
Ella Reeves Bloor spoke on the
need Of educating our children to the
ideals Of Nicolai Lenin. Russian,
Yiddish, German and Spanish speak
ers followed, giving the meetings the
international character, linguistically,
and every other way.
Every mention Of the name Of Len
in was applauded. The vicious Los
Angeles Times, commenting on the
death Of Lenin, took comfort In the
Petrograd dispatches telling Of the
"fall'' Of Trotzky. Unfortunately for
the comfort Of the Times TrotzlSy's
position as military commissar has
just been confirmed by the Russian
government and the unity Of the adj
ministration under Rykov guarantees
a continuation Of proletarian power.

far as the miners union is concerned.
The wonderful victory" he is
claiming over the rank and file, is
not victory, it was a slaughter, and
he knows better than any other per-
son that as soon as the delegates re-
turn home and report, that the re-
action will be such as to rock the
very foundation of the miners union.
In that convention on every issue he
took the same identical position that
one would expect an agent of WALL
STREET to take, and his action on
the Ku Klux Khan when he made his
voice conspicuous by its silence, he
showed conclusively that he was
either in favor Of it or else he is
afraid Of the MIGHTY" gang,
whichever guess is right is sufficient
proof that he is not fit person to
lead labor organization.
The same goes for Murray and
Green. By their acts they shall be
known. The beginning Of the end Of
that regime has begun, and when,
and not until the end of the tyrant
reign is passed, the old United Mine
Workers Of America will be able to
march to greater glories for the men
who pay the DUES,

Gals thru trading in oil stock just
before the Teapot Dome lease be-
came public.
Members of the senate committee
investigating Teapot Dome called
IN the trade commissions experts
to go thru brokers' records when
the brokers objected to submitting
their books to the committee on the
ground that they were too volumin-
Gus to be taken to the capital.
Senator Walsh, chief investigator
on tbs senate public lands commit
tee, which is in charge of the in
CURRY into the naval oil leasing
scandal, has been trying for months
to trace down rl1mors that there
was big speculation by officials be-
fore the lease was announced.
Chairman Lenroot announced that
hearings Of the committee have been
postponed for several days out of
respect to the memory of ex-Presi-
dent Wilson. Lenroot made no eff
fort to have passed today resolu-
ton continuing the powers of the
committee.
This was planned to meet objec-
ton Of former Secretary of the In
terror Fall, charged with improper
actions in connection with the leases.
Fall refused to testify before the
committee Saturday and passage of
a new empowering resolution is nee
essary for the committee to compel
him to tell his story.
Meantime Atlee Pomerene, the
new Democratic counsel selected by
President Coolidge to aid in court
action for cancellation Of the leases,
held series of conferences with
senators. He began an immediate
study of the evidence and suit is
expected to be filed possibly within
the week.

per--too many to quote here. A
large number Of miners asked US
to send the paper home every day
during the convention, assuring us
that once their friends get to know
"The Daily" they will be sure to
subscribe.
The DAILY WORKER was not
the only thing we sold. At every
meeting held by the progressives and
the Workers Party we had a table
with a selection Of all the latest
magazines, party pamphlets, books
and a few Of Upton Sinclair's now
els. 1t was all very new TO the
miners and they bought freely, fas-
cinated by the range of subjects
dealt with in the pamphlets and
books.
It was the unanimous opinion Of
the comrades in indianapolis that
The DAILY WORKER had very
significant effect on the convention.
II helped the progressives 10 shape
their minds and the influence was
evident that mere handful Of
about % or 30 party members had
solicited a group Of hundreds who
voted with them on every issue.
The propaganda value Of "The Daily
was not confined to the convention.
Many Of the miners coming from
districts where there is no Party
organization realized the necessity
Of forming IL and were discussing
ways and means Of circulating The

UNLIMITED GUESTS AT MINERS CONVENTION


"DAILY WORKER, 8 cents a
copy" was the first sound that
greeted the miners at the opening Of
the Miners Convention in Tomlin-
son Hall, indianapolis, Ind. The
sight of two girls with bundles Of
THE DAILY was very unusual
among a crowd Of sturdy, hard
handed coal-diggers. Many Of them
stopped and, after eNrg us curious
ly, bought the paper. Most Of them
did not even know that IL was a
labor paper and we had to answer
all sorts of questions about Il. IL
was not long tho before they found
out that the DAILY WORKER was
not Just labor paper but, as many
remarked, "the best labor paper
they have ever SEEN"
At first our sales were limited to
the group Of so-called reds, most
Of whom, with the exception Of the
Workers Party members, saw the
paper for the first time. Steadily
our sales began 10 increase. Even
those who did not boast any radical
sympathies, bought the paper regu-
larly, because, as they themselves
said, ut was the only paper that
gave a detailed and correct report
Of the convention and news Of the
labor world" After three days we
were able to sell from 400 TO 500
copies a day and many OF the dele
gates gave us 5, 10 and even 20
cents for a copy. They regarded
the paper as an absolute necessity.
II we happened 10 be few min.
utes later than usual, we would
find a crowd anxiously waiting for

.LETTISH WORKERS
DEMAND AMERICA
RECOGNIZE RUSSIA
Tell How Riga Manu-
features Lies

Smith Hall, Hamlin and Madison
St., Chicago, was crowded to capacity
with Lettish workers from Chicago
and vicinity, where a mass meeting
was held to discuss the question of
recognition Of the Russian Soviet gov
eminent and opening Of trade rela-
tons between this country and the
government Of the Russian people.
Many Of those present were new ar
rivals from Latvia, the neighboring
country Of Russia.
Speakers told how in Riga, the capt.
tai city Of Latvia, lies and ISLANDERS
were fabricated and propagated for
the purpose to poison the minds of
the Latvian workers against the Sow
let Government. Having come to the
United States, they find that the same
lies are circulated here and many Of
these lies given official recognition.
At the end of the meeting, follow
ing resolution was read and adopted
by reclamation:
RESOLVED, by mass meeting
of several hundred Let's, origin
ally from Latvia, assembled in
Smith Hall, Chicago, ILL.,, Saturday,
Feb. 2, 1924, that we are in favor
Of full recognition Of the Russian
Soviet Government by the Govern
ment of the United States and that
diplomatic and trade relations be-
tween these two countries be es-
tablished without further delay,
for the benefit Of the people Of
these United States and the people
of Soviet Russia.
RESOLVED to declare our con-
viction and belief, that the ale

WILKES-BARRE'S

Get IN TROUBLE
Hart and His Gunner
Sued for Assault

NEW YORK. - Dan Hart, mayor
of Wilkes-Barre, Pa, has bitten Off
more than he can chew, and put
his foot in it, mixed metaphorically
speaking. 1t appears that Dan Hart
has been trying to transform Wilkes
Barre into a hard-boiled, heartiess,
Bret Harte town. with himself in
William S. Hart role.
Anyway, Dan Hart is now being
sued for felonious assault, along
with over-zealous members of the
local post of the American Legion.
These proceedings were instituted
by the American Civil Liberties
Union upon the receipt Of a tele-
gram from Mayor Hart, stating that
he would not tolerate any or
ganization holding meetings in
Wilkes-Barre which is opposed by
the American Legion"
Broke Up Lenin Meeting
Dan Harris difficulties spring from
his endorsement of the Legion's ac-
ton in breaking up a Lenin meet
ing, held under the auspices of the
Workers Party few days ago.

of anarchists and communists to
be held in this city," telegraphs

ment. Freedom of speech !.

In his reference to the flags of
anarchy and communism, Mayor
Hart obviously confuses the red and
the black. This might be merely
awkward at roulette; but it is a
more serious blunder in politics.
"AH meetings Of this character in
the future" wires the palpitant
Hart, twill be submitted to the Lee
gion committees for approval before

Free Speech Test Coming
Preparatory to the free speech
test meeting, on February 10, the
Civil Liberties Union is seeking a
court order, compelling Mayor Hart
to provide police protection. Mean
while, the Union has also informed
Governor Clifford Pinchot Of the
facts and requested his cooperation,
should the courts fail to act. World
war veterans, an Episcopal church
bishop and a distinguished lawyer
will be among the speakers at the
February 10 meeting.

gram has been sent to Governor Pin

amples of official lawlessness which

Letters to The Daily

To The DAILY WORKER: In
the January 20 issue of The DAILY
WORKER there appeared an article
by. Lovett-Fort- Whiteman, entitled
1.-THE Negro in the Industries" where
he charges that the white worker
excludes the negro from his unions.
Enclosed you viii find a clipping
from the International Molders
gournal, where it shows that the
Molders' Union takes in any worker
regardless of his race, color or re-
ligion, providing he served four
years, as an apprentice at the trade,
or il he works at a machine takes
him in sooner, but as a machine
operator. The United Mine Work
ers takes in colored folks, too. So
if you would rectify that statement
by Lovett-Fort- Whiteman, in regard
to this matter, it would clarity the
issue considerably in regard to the
white and colored workers.--JOHN
TOMASI.
(The color line is gradually dis
appearing in the American labor
movement but some unions still bar
their colored fellow workers. It is
the duty Of every class conscious
trade unionist to work for the
speedy elimination of this barrier

with a group Of men who have at
tended conventions of this numerical
ly strong union, he often hears the
remarks Of Lewis used in q ocular
way, and so much so that many
miners who have never been to a con-

heard Lewis in action, will answer to
that query the words "SIT DOWN,

Those are the familiar words of
