OAKLAND UNIONS
DEMAND REPEAL
OF C. S. GAG LAW
Building Trades Ask
Only Whitney Pardon

OAKLAND, Calf, Nov 16.-The
Oakland Central Labor Council and
the Carpenters Local No. S92 have
unanimously passed a resolution as
serting their support of Anita Whit
ney, who faces prison as a result OF
the recent decision of the U. 8.
supreme court, under verdict based
on the California criminal syndical-
ism" law.
The resolution cites the reason for
this support as recognition of the SER
vices of Miss Whitney in fighting for
the workers in industrial disputes and
besides petitioning the governor for
her immediate and unconditional par
don demands of the state legislature
that it speedily repeal the criminal
syndicalist law.
The Building Trades Council passed
the same resolution, with the excep-
tion that it cut out the demand for
repeal of the law, thus making their
action only a personal appeal for Miss
Whitney.
The complete resolution has been
adopted by Viking Lodge No. SO of

In closing Comrade Shklar spoke
of the bolshevization of the party
pointing out that while the enemies
of the movement rejoice at the ideo-
logical struggle within the party and
think that the party has become weak

it has grown stronger, having purged
elements led by Lore and his follow
ers of the right wing.

The Workers School aims to pre-
pare working men and women for
more capable activity on behalf Of
their class in the unions, the Workers
Party and other proletarian organiza-
tions. While workers Of every des-
cription are admitted to most of the
courses, the school is not ''non-par-
tisan." It's curriculum is based on
the assumption that Marx and Lenin
in their works and deeds have given
the proletariat a science of under
standing, organization and action
which directs it along its march to-
wards power and emancipation To
turn out "Marxist-Leninists for lead
ership in the working class move
ment-that is the fundamental aim of
the sahool.
~ courses mentioned below are
opsn to any worker qualified to take
them, with the exception OF courses
marked for selected students only"
Additional courses will be offered la
ter where there is sufficient demand
for them. The Workers School will
also undertake to establish branch
schools in each important quarter Of
the city and in nearby cities where
course in the fundamentals OF Com
munism and course in English will
be the basic courses offered.

Bolshevize your ranks!
Such is the mandate of the Com
munist International to the Workers
Party of America.
Bolshevization has thus been defin-
itely placed on the agenda of our par
ty. And the reorganization of the
Workers Party on a shop nuclei basis
is, practically, the first step toward
the realization of the Comintern's
mandate.
Bolshevization of the party means,
of course, the incubation of its mem
bership with Bolshevism. And a ques-
ton arises:
Is not our Workers Party a Com
munist one? Are not Communists Boil
sheviki?
We come thus to the question:
What is Bolshevism? Who is, by
right, Bolshevik?
There is a confusion in the minds
Of the general public as to the mean
ing of Bolshevism. And not only of
the general public. There is enough
of confusion in our ranks, too.
Many a comrade consider the es-
sence of Bolshevism in devotion to the
Union of Soviet Socialist Republics
This is, truly, a wrong conception of
Bolshevism. Tbas devotion to the
Union of Soviet Socialist Republics is
an inseparable attribute of Boil
shevik, nobody will deny. But an at
tribute is not the substance of a
thing. The substance of Bolshevism
had existed prior to the very forma-
tion of the Union of Soviet Socialist
Republics. Besides, one may be a
devoted friend of the Union of Soviet
Socialist Republics not necessarily
sharing the doctrines of Bolshevism.
There are other comrades, who
locate the essence of Bolshevism in
the centralized form of a Bolshevist
party mechanism and in strict party

leus organization, and the other plan
was then rejected by the speakers
who had sponsored it.
To Intensity Activity.
In the name of the District Execu-
tive Committee of District No. 2,
Comrade Wolfe described the plans
being laid for intensifying the activi-
ties of the Newark section by creating
a sub-district there, by the District
Executive Committees paying more
attention to this subcommittee. by
sending special comrades from time
to time, and drawing in comrades
from Newark to observe the higher
party units in New York City.
The next general membership meet
ing of Newark will take place some
time in December. A more complete
mobilization of the membership will
be sought for and registrations will
be taken and shop nuclei and working
area sections will be formed at that
meeting. When that meeting is called,
it is imperative that every member of
the party in Newark (there are about
200) be present if they do not want
to run the danger of losing their
party membership and being lost to
the party. Special plans were sug-
gested for a more complete mobiliza-
ton at that meeting.

Arrest Four Hundred
Workers and Peasants
in Dalmatian Raids

BELGRADE, QRA) Nov. 16.-Over
four hundred workers and peas
ants in Dalmatia were placed under
arrest and accused of membership to
the Communist Party, which is illegal
in Jugo-Slavia. Fifty persons will be
tried for high treason and for infring-
ment of the law on the safety of
the state, according to which mem
bership in organizations hostile to the
state is punished with twenty years
of hard labor or with death.
The arrests took place a few DAYS
before the expected VISIT OF the Jugo-
Slavian king in Dalmatia.

and ideologX necessary before the
party would be really on the road to-
ward becoming a Bolshevik party. He
described the last crisis within the
party as a bolshevization crisis and
pointed out that it had not yet been
entirely liquidated but merely chang
ed it's form and lost its acuteness.
The structural differences and the
difference in function between the old
territorial branches and the new shop
nuclei were than taken up in detail
and all the problems of specific indus
tries and categories of workers, Of
housewives, and professionals, Of
building trades workers and unem-
ployed, ETC., were gone into.
Misunderstood Work.
The general discussion revealed
that the City Central Committee of
Newark had entirely misunderstood
the nature of reorganization and had
planned to reorganize the whole dis
trict into one big international branch,
the only change would therefore have
been the partial removal of fedora
-tion lines, but the territorial basis
would have been kept. Comrade
Wolfe entered into this matter in de-
tail and showed that the big factories
in and around Newark made it an
ideal industrial region for shop nuc-

PIechanov and Lenin.
IN 1905 Plechonov stated that the
ssian workers should not take up
las IS but Comrade Lenin, in the face
Of reaction and temporary defeat, set
out to draw the essential lessons of
this revolution, pointing out that the
Soviets were born from the reyolu-
tionary struggles and will become the
historic form of proletarian class
power" Comrade ShKlar then led up
to the 1917 revolution, when the Boil
sheviks modified their forces and
struggle the death blow not only to
Czarism but also to the rule of the
land owners and capitalism.
The speaker further outlined the
development of Soviet Russia in the
past eight years and spoke of the
tremendous strides on the economic
field and in the specialization of the
industries and agriculture.
Trade Union Unity.
He also spoke of the revolutionary
situation in England, Europe and the
colonial countries, citing the move
ment for world trade union unity, and
other manifestations of growing class
consciousness of the workers of the
world. The speaker pointed out the
necessity of the American workers
