Sport Club Members
to Chew Nails and
Bend Iron at Party

NEW YORK, April 13-At last we
have it! The first affair of the Work
ers' Sports Club since its organization.
The most novel entertainment that
ever a branch produced, including a
musician who plays on the saw and
many others equally interesting. JHe
Miss Lee Cohen, singer of note
(high note) will render several selec-
tions. Comrade Davidson, and accom-
plished cellist will delight us with a
few numbers. Irving Shoebe is the
one who will show us how to play
Rackmainoff's preludes on a saw. A
Communist Breitbart will chew up
nails and bend iron for our benefit.
And not only do we have this fine
program, but following it we will have
dancing with the jazziest music that
can be obtained.
Don't forget. The place is 1OS e.
14th st. The date is Saturday eve
ming, April IS, 1925 at s D. m. Be

Honey and Beefsteak
Combined at Paul
Whiteman's Concert
BY ALFRED v. fRANkENsrEIN.

BY ALFRED v. fRANkENsTEIN.
Paul Whiteman's concert at the Au-
ditorium last Sunday was Just too
sweet for words. He turned the hall
into hive, and honey dripped from
the ceiling, and great rivers of honey
flowed down the aisles.
Or, to change the figure, a great
muted trumpet did hoochie koochie
dance on the stage and squawked as II
did so, RED Hot Mamma, How Just
Adore You"
But in the sea of sweet stun there
was some beefsteak. The first was an
excellent dance version of Rimski-Kor-
sakov's Hymn to the SUM-" in the
opera, "The Golden Cockerel" II Is
perhaps fitting that Whiteman should
play Korsakov, for he is much indebt-
ed to the Russian and his school for
the surprising variety and novelty Of
his orchestral effects. IL is too much
to say that Paul whiteman is an art.

Fisher Speaks on BolsheVlxation.
MOSCOW, March 26-(By MaiI--
Third session Of the enlarged execu
tive. At today's session of the En-
larged Executive Committee of the
Communist international Comradt
Ruth Fisher spoke on the politica
situation and on Bolshevization of the
Communist parties.
The main characterization of the
present situation in Germany are: the
liquidation Of the Ruhr crisis, the
Dawes plan, and sterilization. In
spite of all this however, the bour
geoisie faces great ANTIQUITIES.
The absence Of an acute revolu-
tionary situation does not mean ces-
sation of the class struggle. 1t will
be impossible for the bourgeoisie to
fulfill its promises on the national
and economic fields. The illusions in
regard to the Dawes plan are begin
ming to disappear. The railwaymen's
strike has proven this.
The fact that the present govern
ment is able to maneuver very care
fully renders the work of the Com.
munist Party more difficult.
A new situation has been created
for the social-democracy The s. D.
was until now a governing partner OF
the bourgeoisie, but the coalition pol
icy is coming to an end. The S. D. is
weakened thereby, for it's whole policy
was based on participation in bour-
geois governments. The rather
forced radical" note in the social-de-
mocracy is meeting with great diff
culties in its own camp.
Strike Was Widespread.
The railwaymen's strike was more
widespread than the bourgeoisie had
expected.
1t is nonsensical to speak of an ideo-
political left current within the So
cial-democracy. Levi and his consorts
take advantage however, of the diff
culties arising out of the Dawes plan,
as well as the Barmat scandal and the
Ebert trial-to proceed against their
party executive. AS soon as the stu
alton becomes more acute, the S. D.
will have to drop its present radical
tone. 1f2s
The next wave of activity in the
labor movement will arise out of the
struggle for the S-hour day, wage in
creases, and out Of the struggle
against reaction.
1t is difficult to prophesy the pace
of events. The position of the bour

Two Supreme Court Decisions

The United States supreme court has made two
decisions within the last few days that are of vital
Importance to labor. One, that will be hailed as
a victory by the labor offcialdom and used to
further fool the workers into believing that the
courts impartial, lays down the rule that com
pusory arbitration of labor disputes is unconstitu-
tional. This part of the decision is incidental
however, to the further ruling in the same case,
This is our old friend estate rights" introduced
that state bodies have no right to fix the hours of
labor
This is our old friend estate rights" introduced
in the same garb we saw it wearing in the war on
the child labor law. The sedition and criminal
syndicasm laws of the various states have not yet
been interfered with, but the limitation of the
hours worker can be exploited out of the twenty
four is another matter 1t is just possible that the
workers might secure sufficient control in one or
more states to enact shorter hour bills that would
cut down the profits of the bosses. The Kansas
industrial court had no such intention, but the
precedent it established was dangerous one. The
national government, further removed from the
masses than the state authorities has spoken and
we have new example of how handy centralized
state power is to the bosses.
This decision reverses that of a California court
and if is familiar with the reputation of Cali
fOrnia courts among the legal fraternity, whose
moral code is elastic, to say the least, one has a
fairly good idea of the class character of the ruling
1t means that when an open shop struggle is on
the capitalists can institute boycott against those
employers who recognize the unions, deprive them
of raw material by any and every means and be
certain that this action will be upheld by the
courts.
Unions that use these tactics are liable to prose
cution for interfering with interstate commerce
and number of union officials are now in Jail for
this very offense.
1t is no wonder that the capitalist press always
refers to the courts as the bulwark of OUR liber-
ties"

lCzecho-Slovakian miners to come tc
the aid of those left behind. The exc
cutive decides to send telegram Of
condolence.
The third speaker, Comrade Chru-
ska, of the Communist Party OF
Czecho-Slovakia, states that at the
present time -Slovakia is suf-
fering from no acute economic or fl
nancial crisis. The bourgeoisie is striv.
ing to consolidate itself with the aid
of foreign capital and at the expense
Of the workers. This of course meets
with great difficulties because of the
Observation-Disclosures, and leads to an
lintensification of the class struggle.
The workers have been cured Of the
illusion of an independent state"
The Communist Party of Czecho-Slo-
vakia is a good proletarian party
which must be Bolshevized. The so.
cial-democratic traditions must be
overcome; real work must be accomp-
lished in Czecho-Slovakia for the pro-
letarian revolution.
The second party convention i'm.
proved the theoretical basis of the
party. The work Of Bolshevization is
meeting with great difficulties be-
cause some of the functionaries, like
Bubenik, are sabotaging it. The elm
ination Of the liquidators and oppor-
tunists is the prerequisite for Bolshev-
ization.
Organize 800 Shop Nuclei.
The party has 800 shop nuclei which
must be rendered politically active. A
better revolutionary spirit and greater
capacity for action are beginning to
show themselves, as we have seen in
the Prague and Kladno demonstra.
lions.
AS to the fractional work in the
trade unions-only a beginning has
been made. We must get into the re-
formist trade unions. Our One Big
Union (Internationaler Allgewerk-
schaftlicher Verband) must take up
the initiative in the question Of re-
establishing trade union unity. An.
other step in this direction would be
the amalgamation of the Czech with
the German unions. AS to the peas
ant movement-it is stronger in the
Czech districts than in the German
districts. After the second party
congress, the minority attempted to
discredit the central committee.
Even Comrade Smeral tried to
twist matters as il the central com
mittee had defended unproletar-
ian actions. The workers Of Brunn
rejected the thesis of the lawyers.

Young Communists to Hike.


The Young Workers League, local
Chicago, is holding it's first city-wide
hike Sunday, April 10. The hike will
be held in the Harlem forest preserve
at the end of the Grand avenue car
line. The comrades will meet at the
following headquarters at $3.50 a. m,
Sunday, April 10:
South Side, BIG S. Halsted St
West Side, 211S w. Roosevelt Road.
Northwest Side, 1888 Hirsch Blvd.
North Side, 24O9 N. Halsted St., and
from there will proceed to the end
of the Grand avenue car line, where
all groups will meet at 10:3O and
march into the forest preserve. Every
one is asked to bring along all the
base balls, gloves, jumping rope, etc.
they can find around the house. There
will be a couple of games of baseball
between the league and the party.
There will be athletic exercises by
the juniors and generally much fun.
Comrades are asked to bring their
lunches and to bring their friends
and fellow workers to this hike.

dices will be permitted. The party
l is still laboring under opportunistic
traditions. We still find in it rem
nants OF the opportunistic system. as
represented by Comrade Smeral, who
is also supported by our good Com
rade Zapototzky. The policy of the
party has been laid down by the
Fifth Congress. We must all unite
on the platform of Bolshevization.

Youth Delegate Hits Menshevism.
Comrade Vuyovitch from the Youth
international, emphasized the need of
discarding the social-democratic ideol-
ogy. All parties must give more at
tention to the youth movement. 1t
was the task Of the Communist
Youth International to create real
mass organizations. In the Soviet I'm
ion we have a real mass organiza-
ton in France we also have good
organization. Which proves the cor
rectness of; our methods.
Comparatively good results have
been obtained in Italy, particularly
since the new anti-Bordiga central
committee took over the leadership of
the party.
In America too, fairly good results
have been obtained. On the other
hand, in those parties where a strug-
gle had to be carried on against the
opportunists, the results have been
negative.
When Comrade Smeral reproaches
us with the fact that in Czecho-Slo-
vakia we have but 10000 members in
the youth organization, we answer
that it is his own fault. No section
of the Czech youth supports the OPP
portunists. In view of the retarded
pace of the revolution, our youth must
give more attention to the partial de-
mands.
+ Every young Communist must join
trade union and there fight for trade
union unity.
In view of the danger Of war our
anti-militaristic work must be intensi-
fed. The work among the peasantry,
must also be improved. Particular
attention must be given to our activi-
ties in the East. The reorganization
of the party must be carried out and
the membership doubled. We must
render the membership more active,
We must improve their theoretical
knowledge, and give them good revo-
lutionary literature to read The
parties should instruct the youth
more, and make real mass organiza.
ltions out Of the Youth Leagues.

The trade union question is in fact

| Bolshevization is: To permeate the
Comintern with the feminist concep-
ton of Imperialism
The question of Soviet Russia is
mot only one Of sympathy, but also re-
quires the theoretical understanding

The expulsion of certain active
workers because of their attitude on
the trade union question was absor

the policy of joint lists Of candidates

only apparently unfavorabIe-in real
ity, however, this policy is more fav-
orable. The formal existence of
shop nuclei does not suffice. The
German Communist Party is striving
to permeate the shop nucluei with a
political spirit by transferring all
campaigns to these nuclei.
The speaker then points to the
work done among the peasantry, and
to the peasant conference which had
taken place. She then passes to in
ternal party questions.
The party is still suffering from
remnants Of Luxemburgism, Trotsky-
ism and Brandlerism. 1t is necessary
to amalgamate the old forces with the
new. Democracy within the party is
necessary, and it was actually put
into effect; but in certain questions,
as in the trade union question and in
the question of fractional activities of
the right, it was necessary to adopt
strict organizational measures.
