Fundamentals Of Leninism."


"FundamentaIs Of Leninism."
Instructor Jack StacheI, in the Work
ers' School, every other week.
THE Workers School will train one
worker of each shop nucleus, pre-
ferably the organizer, to lead politi-
cal discussions in his shop nucleus,
in the form of course in the Fun
damentals of Leninism" in the the
DRY and practice of, ,Leninism in their
concrete application to the American
party in general and the needs and
problems Of the shop nucleus in par
ticular. The course in the central
school will both deal with the mat
ter taught in every shop nucleus and
the manner of teaching it or leading
the discussion. The shop nucleus will
select the comrade to take the train
ing course, exact attendance from
him and pay his fee.
With the reorganization Of the party
on the basis of shop nuclei will come
an intensiflcation of the party's ac-
tivities in all fields of work, and a
thousand fold increase in our contact
with, and influence over the masses.
In order that our reorganization
shall not be merely a reallocation of
our present membership, and in or
der that the nuclei shall be active,
and alive, responding to the needs of
the masses in the shops and factories,
1t is necessary that our entire mem
bership, organized in the nuclei, shall
be equal to the demands Of the sit
uation. This can only be done by a
deepening of the understanding of the
laws of the class struggle among our
membership by giving to every mem
Der a political minimum education in

DEMANDS COUNT
OF GITLOW VOTES
Estimate 10000 Votes
Cast for Communists

NEW YORK, Nov. 9.-The Workers
(Communist) Party thru its general
secretary Of the New York district,
VIM. w. Weinstone, who was the can
didate for controller on the Workers
Party ticket, charged the election
board with voiding ballots on which
the name of Benjamin Gitlow, candi-
date for mayor, barred from the ballot
because of his conviction under the
criminal syndicalist law, was written
in.
Void GitIow Ballot
The examination Of the official re-
ports. by the Workers Party, showed
that not a single Gitlow ballot was
counted, and thus about $4,000 ballots
were illegally voided.
The watchers of the Workers Party
reported that the ballots upon which
the name of Gitlow was written in,
were regarded as void and neither
Gitlow nor the other Workers Party
candidates on the same ballot were
counted.
The vote recorded by the election
officials not counting the thousands
illegally voided is listed below.

The Workers Party estimates that
about 10000 votes were cast for the
Workers Party candidates of which
a few thousand that did not contain
Gitlow's name were thrown aside by
corrupt and careless election officials.
The Workers Party is considering le-
gal action to compel the count of the
Gitlow ballots.

A committee of three was elected
to devise ways and means to keep the
Workers (CommunisD Party off the
ballot at the next election. Objec-
tions were raised to the emblem Of
the party. 1t was pointed out that it
is similar to that of the Union of So

thing that smacked of Soviet Rus

Reports were made of efforts made
by the allied societies to offset Com

the country at large A. l. Doty, dean
of De Witt Clinton high school, drew
attention to the Young Comrade. He

spoke of the churches serving as a
tool of capitalism and which declar-

from all lands of the world. The pub

from the school children of Soviet

er League introduced a resolution cal
ling upon the United States govern
ment to recognize Soviet Russia,

TalIentire Speaks.
The first speaker was Norman H..
Tallentire. district organizer of the
Workers Community Party for the
Philadelphia district In stirring
talk, he exposed the hypocricy of
those, who raise their hands in mock
horror at the thot of force and vio-
lence" on the part of the Communists
and the working class but who fail to
see that in every instance force is
used by the capitalist class hirelings
to crush the workers. He closed with
picture of the workers, who have in
the past fought the battles of their
masters, now organizing and for the
first time fighting their own battles
of liberation.
Police Interfere.
The next speaker was Comrade
Feinstein, a Russian speaker. 1t was
at this point that the department of
justice agants made their presence
felt. The agents and a number of
police stalked onto the stage and
demanded that the speaker stop talk
ing at once, claiming that Comrade
Feinstein's name was not on the per-
nit, and that there was nothing in
the permit allowing a Russian speak
er. The workers who thronged the
hall started to boo the police for their
action. One of the police then shouted,
IF you make another boo or hiss, I'll
break up this meeting"
Rather than have the meeting
broken up, the workers ceased booing
and the next speaker, Pat H. Toohey
was introduced. He spoke in behalf
of the Young Workers League, and
then took a collection for The DAILY
WORKER. The collection amounted
to 1892.
Lovestone Outlines Russ History.
The last speaker of the evening
was Jay Lovestone. who aroused
great storm of applause when he re-
ferred to the example of free speech
exhibited but few minutes before in
the city of the Liberty Bell and told
how it was his honor and pleasure to
stand in the Red Square in Moscow
eight months ago and speak to the
soldiers and workers assembled there.
and speak to them in English without
a permit.
Lovestone then outlined the history
of establishment and rise in power of
the workers government of Soviet
Russia. From Nov. Z, 1917, when the
workers of Russia rallied around the
slogans of the Bolshevik Party: All
power to the workers4peace, land,
bread, thru Nov. 7, 1918, which mark
ed the ending of the imperialist war,
which was brought to an end by the
revolutionary activity of the Soviet
republic amongst the war weary and
war-torn workers of Germany, thru
Nov. Z, 1919, which found the Soviet
republic finally secure, with all it's
counter-revolntionary foes crushed
and driven out. In 1920 the American
soldiers in Siberia laid down their
arms and refused to fight the work
ers' republic. In 1921 the Polish drive
against Soviet Russia was broken, and
these agents of French bankers were
turned back.
1922 marked the end of the Gordon
sanitaire. Nov. Z, 1928, found the
Soviet republic firmly established,
with the famine conquered.
Nov. Z, 1924, found most of the cap
italist countries brought to their

A SIGNIFICANT REPORT
(Richland County Farmer)

! (Rlchland county Farmer)
A Commission named to make q
study of the cost of education in
North Dakota has just submitted its
report to the state legislature. Its
efforts were directed largely, accord
ing to current news reports, to ascer-
tain whether proper benefits were
being received from taxes paid and
whether greater efficiency and econ
omy could be obtained
The review of the report availa BILE
to The Farmer touches only the high
schools and the rural schools.
The outstanding recommendation
of the whole report seems to be con-
tanned in the following paragraphs:
"As a general consideration the
commission believes that scientific
revision of our entire school system
could be made with a vast saving of
money and great benefit to the cause
of education. That our rural schools
could be greatly benefited by re,
establishment Of district lines so as
to bring the schools closer to the
children without the great expense
OF consolidation in sparsely settled
districts and the small schools prac-
tically eliminated"
Other significant findings in the
report are as follows:
Too many elective subjects tend to
weaken the high school course and
increase the cost of education to an
unwarranted economic degree.
The teaching of home economies,
manual training, physical training
and agriculture in high schools is a
local problem, not a matter of legis-
lative concern and should be settled
locally.
In some schools too much attention
is paid to athletics. and also to dane
ing and other forms of amusement
and parents are taxed beyond their
ability to provide what are termed
Suitable clothes" for such occasions.
More money is spent on rural
schools in North Dakota than any
other schools. The commission does
not find that too much money is
spent. 1t finds that for the money
spent too little benefit is received in
the way of education.
A higher standard for rural school
teachers, cooperative methods of
buying textbooks and school supplies
and revision of districts is recon-
mended.
Says the report: Reconsideration
has been i'll advised in sparsely set
tied communities and is more adapt
ed to thickly settled communities and
communities of small farms or to
communities where town or village
may be the center"
In other words the commission
finds, that for the benefits confer
red. education has been costing too
much in North Dakota.
All in all it is highly interesting
report. stating without doubt, some
plain truths. Yet it will be labor
lost unless the legislature takes con-
structive action upon it. This is
manifestly its duty, for vast ex-
penditure is involved and greater
than this expenditure the principle
Of putting the whole scheme of high
school and rural school education on
an efficient basis. And the rural
school section of the problem, which
the commission says is the first and
most vexed, should receive attention
first.
