The last issue Of Prolet-Tribune, the
Russian living newspaper published
by the worker correspondents of the
Novy Mir was quite an interesting
one. In the Social-Political section
there were two articles on the Paris
Commune and one about the two
camps that divides present society. In
the Local Life section there were
three articles. In the Literary section
there were seven short stories and
poems. In the photographed section
an interesting article on the newest
Russian literature appeared. The
Satire and Humor section had three
poems and two stories. There were
also cartoons.
The next, seventh, number OF Prolet-
Tribune will be out Sunday, April II,
at the Workers House, 1902 w. Divi-

LAKE SEAMEN'S
UNION SECRETARY
AFRAID OF REDS
Fears to Open Letter
from Communists

CLEVELAND. March 30. - District
Six of the Workers (Communist)
Party has sent letter to the Ohio
State Federation Of Labor, the Cleve-
land Federation OF Labor and to all
affiliated bodies and the Railroad
Brotherhoods, calling on them to de-
mand that the material used in erect
ing the buildings and the equipment
used in the building of the Sesqui-cen-
tennial exposition be unionmade, and
that all labor used be union labor.
The secretary of the Lake Seamen's
Union of this city, E. j. Sullivan, is
afraid of the Reds; so much so that
ne refused even to open the letter
which the district committee sent to
him. Nonetheless, he was forced to
read the letterAaitho it is not known
whether he read the resolution that
was attached. Forthwith, the secretary
returned the letter and resolution
with the following remarks:
"The American Federation Of Labor
is fully competent of looking after
the affairs of the American workers
without any assistance from a lot of
union wreclrers. Anything Foster. is
connected with stinks out loud. For
the love Of mike please tell us on
whom could you or your would-be UNI
ion wreckers bring pressure to bear.
please, please, enlighten us and if
such a thing is possible, tell us where
the Fosterites or Reds have any stand
ing. It's surely good joke, but we
fail to see at just what moment we
should laugh. You bring pressure
ha, ha. That's the best yet"
The district committee has replied
asking for an opportunity to present
the Communist attitude on the trade
unions to meeting of the union. This
will clear up the perverted notion that
Communists are union wreckers and
perhaps make a few union leaders
become more active as leaders, advo-
cate more militant policies and gem
orally bring the movement forward,
instead Of standing in the way Of the
workers who are fighting for the i'm
provement of their unions.

c. E. c. of the Workers Communist Party
Issues Call for Energetic Support of Youth

THE Young Workers (Communist)
4 League is energetically engaged in
mass work. As yet its numerical
strength does not betoken a mass
young Communist organization. The
League must become the mass organ
ization of the working youth both in
ternally, thru a mass membership and
externally, by influencing large sec
tions Of the working youth. Under the
political leadership and with the en-
ergetic cooperation of the party this
basic task win be realized. Recog-
nizing this fact the central executive
committee of the Workers (Commu-
nist) Party has issued the following
letter to all party units:
The central executive committee
calls the attention of the party to a
very important phase of Communist
work which has been considerably ne
elected during the past two years.
mo Communist Party is worthy of
that name unless it has a great Com
>munist youth movement, even several
times its own size. In this country
we view with alarm the comparative
weakness Of the Young Workers
(Communist) League and realize that
in a large measure this weakness is
due to the lack of support that the
party has given to this work
Even with its small size the League
has performed its role as a recruiting
ground for the party by having trans
ferred close to 1000 members into
our party during the past two years.
This shows that the youth movement
can and should act as a source of
our strength. And if we are to grow
as party, we must pay more atten-
ton to this work and help to strength
en- the Young Workers (Communist)
League.
Towards this end, the central exc
cutive committee issues the following
instructions to its district committees,
section committees. and all other
units:
1. The district executive committee
should direct its lower units in carry
ing out the work of building league
units.
2. Where there are no League units
we raise the slogan: "A League Unit
Wherever There is a Party Unit"

The Bosses Call Us
Bolsheviks Becaue We
Don't Want Wage Cuts
BY MIKE Flask.
Young Textile Striker.

PASSAIC, N. Ut is now the be-
ginning Of the eighth week of our
struggle against wage cuts and to bet
ter our home conditions. 1t seems to
affect all factories and mills in Pas
safe and vicinity since our eight weeks
of battle.
Now that the United Piece Dye
workers in Lodi have gone out on
strike, the strikers are creating a SEN
sation in the textile industries here
in Passaic, and the picket lines are
getting stronger and stronger. Why
even in Paterson the workers were so
oppressed that they couldn't stand
for it any longer. So they too came
along and joined our picket lines.
Still the bosses have the nerve to
say that the workers are treated well.
There's one thing I'd like to say to
these slave drivers. That they have
ben profting long enuf on their inno-
cent and oppressed workers, and if
sooner or later they don't come across
with the workers needs-the workers
will come across and give the bosses
just what they need.
Bolshevik! Bolshevik! was the first
cry of the bosses, then they came
along again and cried-Crooks!
Crooks! Well after that failed, now
the cry is, Communist Communist
Well, they could keep on yelling their
lungs out, and the people won't listen
to their trash. So then they get an
answer, and an echo from their cries
Wage cuts! Wage cuts!
1t seems that whenever the work
ers ask for a little more to eat, or
want to better their home conditions,
that they are all Bolsheviks. 1 be-
lieve that by cutting down our wages
and by forcing the workers to live the
miserable life they have, I'd like to
ask the public, who are the crooks If
not the bosses?"
AS long as the bosses call us Boil
sheviks for the simple reason that we
want back our old wages, believe
the workers are proud to be Bolshe-
viks, as long as that seems to be the
only way and only means to win
their demands. l guess the public
will agree with me on that.

the shop nuclei. The youth in the fac
tories must be organized! Wherever
new League units are organized, in
formation concerning them should I'm
mediately be sent to the national Of
fee.
8. Whenever League units are weak,
the party committees must meet with
them and lay plans for building them
up.
4. The party must receive regular
reports from corresponding units of
the league, and discuss these reports
in detail.
S. The party fractions must make
as a regular order of business, work
among the youth in the particular In
dustry. This must be especially so
where we have no League fractions.
6. The party must cooperate with
the League in carrying on activity
among the sport clubs, Pioneer
groups, and in anti-militarist work. A
step in this direction should be the
election of party representatives on
these committees.
At the very next meeting Of all
units, these matters must be on the
order of business. If possible, ar
rangements should be made to have
League representatives present. We
urge that you act on these matters
Immediately and send in reports on
what you are doing to the national
office.

Correspondent Tells
What Workers School
Aim $ to Accomplish
BY MARY ZFAssMAN,
Worker Correspondent.

The schools under the present sys-
tenn serve the interests of the capital
lists. Whatever they teach there is
taught in order to turn the eyes of the
student away from real life. In lit
erature they give the pupils examples
of bourgeois life, so that he is always
dreaming about it and wasting his
own life, that of a workingman. They
also teach the students to respect
those who become rich. BY praising
the government they teach the work
ers that whatever it does is done for
the benefit of the workers, and thus
they try to instil in the workers a
feeling of patriotism. The impression
Icarried away from those schools was
that they were weapons with which
the capitalists poison the minds of
the workers.
Object of School.
Now, my first impression of the
Workers School was that It is a
school by the workers, for the work
ers and about the workers. We read
Communist literature and the workers
press. and analyze the. life of the
worker so that we can clearly see how
miserable the conditions are with
which he is surrounded. In this school
we are made to realize that we should
not praise the government, but criti-
CHE it; that we must not respect the
bosses, but fight them for the rights Of
the workers, who really should possess
all the wealth that they produce.
AS Weapon.
If thru the party the worker be-
comes class-conscious, so thru the
Workers School he learns how to ex-
press that consciousness to other
workers, so that they, too, should
realize the conditions under which
they live and organize to better them.
If capitalist education is a weapon
used against the worker to protect
the capitalists, so, on the contrary,
workers education is weapon in the
hands of the workers against the cap
italists. It is weapon with which to
fight the present system and thus to
better the conditions of the working
class as a whole.
