What New York Workers School Is Doing

ent courses, learning, studying and
qualifying as the future leaders of the
working class.
Self-criticism by the students from
a constructive point of view, the indi-
vidual preparation on topics directly
relating to the trade unions, /. e.
"The Labor Party" Collaboration, 4"
"Amalgamation," ETC., are of vital in
terest to every live progressive and

1t therefore becomes an important
duty of every such worker to bring
directly to the attention of his local
the question of a contribution for the
New York Workers School.
Help the Workers School to help
the working class. Workers dollars
will create working class leaders. The
workers unions and the Workers
School, that is an important question
and necessarily the drive must get

Especial to The DAILY worker)

PASSAIC, N. J., March 9. - En-
dorsement of the strike and promise
of organizational and financial sup
port, with the prospect of textile
amalgamation to be affected in con-
ference in June was the result of a
meeting in the Hotel Imperial on Sun

sent Immediately to the General Re-
lief Committee.
CAS- the Federated Textile Union is
a powerful body, aid will prove very
valuable to us. It shows that we
have the support of important tex
tile unions" Mr., Vozibord commented.
The Federated Textile Unions have
decided upon the initiative of the
United Front Committee, to call a
conference for amalgamation, inviting
all textile organizations to send re-
representatives.. This marks an import
ant step in the attempt to unite all
textile unions in one big Industrial
Union.
The Executive Board also decided
to give full organizational and finan-
cial support to any organizer that
the United Front Committee will send
to Philadelphia to organize the wool
en- and textile workers there.

sale will spend week in Philadel-
phia collecting relief funds.

BY CARL BRoDsKY.

NEW YORK, March The
raising of funds in. the $4,000 drive
for the Workers School of New York
is a splendid opportunity to acquaint
the working class of this city with
the educational work carried on by
the Workers (Communist) Party.
One of the courses given is public
speaking. So many workers in the
trade unions have really revolutionary
thoughts and ideas, that if correctly
formulated and expressed would be
tremendous force for agitation and
propaganda and general educational
development of the Communist and
working class movement.
To be able to speak to group of
workers on strike, the ability to
crystalize the sentiments and desires
of the left wing factions in the unions,
to give life and form, clarity of pur-
pose to revolutionary opinions and
ideas is the central point in the
course.
How many Communists and work
ers are there who feel and know they
understand the fundamental concepts
of the class struggle? Surely there
are thousands of trade unionists who
understand the fakery and treachery
of the trade union officials. Yet that
same worker suffers from timidity,
self-consciousness and nervousness
when it comes to an open expression
of his or her thoughts. The public
speaking class deals with and corrects
these false weaknesses and seeming
difficulties.
The Communist movement is not
separate and apart from the working
class. 1t is an integral part of it, and
here in the Workers School, hundreds
of students are enrolled in the differ

Attacks on Communists
Especial to The Daily Worker)


DETROIT, Mich. March 9 = At a
meeting of over 600 South Slav work
ers at which Novak spoke, the reac-
tionary elements under the leadership
of nj. Kirin, a former Workers Com
munist) Party member, "a Cvetkovist.
a South Slav Loreite) united with the
Slovenian social democrats bringing
police into the hall to disrupt the
meeting and to arrest Novak.
After Novak's speech, the reaction
airy elements asked questions OF
Novak as to what his right name was
and how he entered America. These
questions that were asked by the re-
dictionaries were met with ieers from
the assembled workers and cries of
Throw out the spies, the provoca-
tours" were heard from all parts of
the hall. 90
Provocateur Elected from Hall.
Novak answered this provocateur
if he wanted to know now what his
name was and how he. had entered
this country and for what purpose,
he should come to the hall in uni
form and not as a private person.
This drew great applause from
those that had assembled.
The reactionary element was then
thrown out of the hall by the police
! that they had brought to disrupt the
meeting. The meeting closed in an
orderly manner.
This action of the reactionar'es was
an attack on the Communists, as on
the next day elections were being
held in the Creation Benefit Society
Despite their desperate attacks on the
Communists, the Communists won the
election. All five delegates that were
elected are either Communists or are
members of the progressive bloc.
Workers Celebrate Victory.
After the election in the Creation
Benefit Society, the South Slav Party
Traction held a dance in the Workers
Home and Novak spoke at the dance
telling of the fight of the Communists
and the progressive workers against
the reactionaries. After his appeal

Monaghan Republic
Buys German Machines
Especial to The Daily worker)

LONDON, March S-M. Sampilone,
special representative of the Mongol-
ian Republic, has arrived here after a
half-year spent in Germany buying
machinery for his native country. His
purchases included equipment for
brick kilns, sawmills, and motor re-
pair shops. The need for the latter
item comes from the development of
motor transport routes across the
Cobb desert. Military supplies for
General Fehg come over this high
way. How vital it is to the Chinese
nationalist forces is evident from the
fact that aside from one at Canton the
other two arsenals in China are in the
hands of the reactionary militarists.
Sampilone describes the Monaghan
Republic as of a parliamentary rather
than Soviet character. It was estab-
lished in 1924. The capital is Urga
The country has population of mil
lion. Most of the inhabitants raise
cattle and sheep.
Soviet Influence Predominant
The Monaghan Republic has num-
Der of advisers, most of them from
the adjoining Buriat Soviet Republic.
The parliamentary sessions last two
to three months annually Between
sessions the country is controlled by
a pIesidium. The army numbers be-
tween 10000 and 10000 and is trained
on Russian lines.
The new republic occupies a most
important strategic position, lying be-
tween the Soviet Union and north
western China, which is Feng's sphere
of influence.
