SilUertip ShoWed He
Could CoUer Ground

Any one who has seen a bear walk
knows how slowly he seems to move,
and his run is a shuffling, numbering
gait that Is cOmical to witness, unless
he happens to be running after you.
But a bear moves pretty fast, not
withstanding appearances, and the
grizzly, which looks to be clumsier
than the brown or the black bear. can
cover ground faster than the average
horse.
A western sheep rancher was riding
In the foothills when he saw a big,
awkward silvertip. He had a rifle,
but was not certain he could kill the
bear at one shot and knew that he
would get into trouble If he missed.
So he gave a regular cowboy yell, and
the bear started away in alarm.
The man gave chase. at the same
time keeping up the piercing yell, and
he soon noticed that the grizzly was
getting farther away. He continued
the chase for nearly two miles, until
the bear disappeared in the noun
tains, and he had not gained a foot.
In going back over the trail he no
ticed places where the bear had made
jumps Of Is or 20 feet, and the ground
had been cut up by his claws, so that
1t looked as If harrow had been ruI
over II.

CLASS IN LABOR
NE WIS WRITING
AT N. Y. SCHOOL
Worker Correspondence
to be Stressed
BY a Worker Correspondents

NEW YORK, Nov. lone of the
most important courses offered at the
Workers School this year is labor
journalism (Workers Correspondence
with Harvey o. Conner as instructor
The course aims to prepare editors
and contributors for our union jour
nails, reporters and correspondents for
the Party press, and editors and con
tributors for the factory newspapers.
1t trains workers in shop, mill and fac
tory to report the news of the indus
trial struggle in it's everyday phases.
The technique of simple, direct news
writing, of organizing, editing and
managing shop papers and of prepar-
ing material for use in the labor press
is its main object.
Labor and shop papers will be stu
died closely and students will prepare
copy for actual publication. Noted la
Dor editors are scheduled to speak on
various phases of the labor press. Be
cause this is essentially a laboratory
course, knowledge of elementary En-
glish composition is required.
This course offers the necessary
training not merely for those who wish
to contribute occasional articles in
the form of workers correspondence,
but also those who are likely to be-
come editors OF trade union journals
or left wing papers and for the con-
Quoting of publicity campaigns for
strikes or left wing fights, organizing
drives, union affairs, etc.. One does
not have to be a fine writer, an ele-
CANT stylist, in order to take this
course. Plain working class English
for working class readers is the best
style that proletarian journalists can
develop.
The course begins on Monday, No
vember s, at P. NJ. and runs for a
period of three months. Registration
can be made any afternoon or even
ing at the headquarters OF the Work
ers School, 1OS East 14th St., New
York City. Register for the course in
Labor Journalism today.

WORKERS SCHOOL
PREP ARES PARTY
FUNCTIONARIES
Courses Are Designed to
Develop Leaders

NEW YORK, Nov. 1.-The core of
the large number Of courses offered
by the New York Workers School this
year is to be found in the group of
courses that have been designated,
Elementary Party Training Course"
and the group entitled, Advanced
Party Training Course" They are
especially designed to train party func-
tionaries; to raise the theoretical level
of the party membership and to pre-
pare workers for proper service to the
labor movement.
Training Needed.
The Workers Party has entered into
a period of increased and intensified
activity. After a period OF defeat and
isolation, it has won several notable
successes, is breaking down the isola-
ton from which 1t suffered and is now
actually engaged in organizing work
ers, leading certain strikes and devel-
oping progressive blocs in their i'm
portant unions as we'll as taking part
In various united front movements.
All these matters place new respon-
sibilities upon members of the party

foor), at o'clock.
The object of the class is to develop
in the workers the ability to- put the
things that happen in their industrial
life in news story form so that all
workers can know what is going on. 1t
is the aim to develop first class news
writers out of the class members.
Workers do not have to have the
ability to write fine literature to get
results. The class is primarily de-
signed for those who want training in
writing. The question and answer"
method will be used in the instruction
so that everyone will get as much as
possible from the course. Actual
pieces of work by correspondents will
be criticized in order to demonstrate
errors and good points in the work.

Party Of the Soviet Union against
Comrades zinoviev, Trotzky and
others is an effective challenge to the
lies Of the capitalist press and its
lickspittles, the Social Democrats who
attempted to picture the struggle of
the Communist Party OF the Soviet
Union for unity as a fight Of Com
rades Stain and Bucharin for, and
Comrades Zinoviev and Trotzky
against the liquidation of the Com
munist International. The procedure
Of the Plenum Of the Central Commit
tee of the Communist Party of the
Soviet Union, and of the Executive
Committee of the Communist Inter
national against the opposition in the
Communist Party of the Soviet Union
is proof of the inner strength and de-
termination of victory of the Commu-
mist International
In view of the failure of the oppo-
sition in the Communist Party of the
Soviet Union to abandon their I'M
feminist orientation the Central Com
mittee of the Workers (Communist)
Party of America feels in duty bound
to join the Communist Party of the
Soviet Union in an theological struggle
within its own ranks against these de-
viations, and to help unity the whole
Communist International behind the
feminist principles and tactics of its
leader, the Communist Party of the
Soviet Union.

decisions on practical matters of
policy-decisions implying both a
knowledge of our fundamental doctrine
and Of the concrete problems is found
in a proper theoretical training com
bined with the requisite practical ex-

Prepare Leaders.
Another cause of the special i'm
portance of the combination party
training courses is the fact that the
party reorganization has created a
great need for additional functionaries
since the new form of organization
requires many more functionaries
than did the old. Therefore the
school is bending all its energies to-
wards the training of such function
aries.

of the miners to equal the scale of
the jacksonville agreement. These
last two mines were the Con-

This new wage scale affects about

Increase.
The price Of domestic coal scared

a total rise of seven cents per
bushel since the announcement of
the wage increase, a rise Of five

Needless to say, the coal oper-

MARIAN BEINGS
Astronomers Dismiss old
Fantastic Notion

While genuine scientists no longer
concern themselves as to the exist
ence Of intelligent life on the planet
Mars, that hove into clear view to
their telescopes Tuesday and We'd
nesday, they are still conjecturing
about the possibility Of plant life on
the little world.
The sensational fantasies concern
ing human life" on Mars concocted
by pseudo-scientists and fiction writ
ers is gradually giving way to, first,
the logical conclusion that human
life" as such is possible only to a
world which contains physical envir-
ons like our own; second, that the at
mospheric conditions and temperature
Of Mars make impossible the exist
ence of animated organisms even re-
motely akin to those with which we
are familiar; and third, that Mars is
a dying world" a planet that has
had its day and that is now grown
cold, losing its power Of graYitation
and its atmosphere with the general
conclusion to be drawn that If ami
NAL life ever existed there, It has
had its day.
Mars Closest.
This, by and large, is the result of
further Investigations made of the in
triguing planet in the last few days
at Yerkes Observatory in Williams
Bay, Wisconsin. At present, Mars is
as close to the earth as it will be
for fifteen years, 100000 miles,
and affords excellent opportunities
for astronomers who, however, are far
more interested in making calcula-
tions as to the physical conditions of
the neighbor orb than they are in
trying to find further evidence of the
kind Of life that many people would
be eager to hear announced as exist
ing there.
Possible Vegetation.
The astronomers, however, do not
dismiss the possibility of the exist
ence of vegetable life on Mars, altho
even with regard to this there is con-
siderable dispute. The belief that
there is such life is based on color
changes observed on the planet and
that the so-called canals" may be
strips of vegetation. This is opposed
by astronomers who are of the opin-
ion that both the color changes and
the markings taken for canals are
due to atmospheric shiftings and pos
sible volcanic activity

THE Central Committee Of the
i Workers (Communist) Party has
on two occasions expressed its sup
port of the Central Committee Of the
Communist Party Of the Soviet Union
in the struggle against the opposition
led by Comrades Trotzky and Zino-
ylev. 1t has endorsed and reafiirms
its endorsement Of the general line of
policy of the Central Committee of
the Communist Party of the Soviet
Union as against that Of the opposi-
ton, for development of the Socialist
economic system in the Soviet Union
and also condemned the effort Of the
opposition in organizing systematieal-
ly a factional opposition within our
Russian brother Party. 1t considered
these activities the more destructive
and subject to condemnation, because
the position Of Conrade Zinoviev as
president of the Communist Interna-
tional made his un-Leninist attitude
in breaking the discipline of the Party
a bad example which can only have a
destructive influence in all the afiliat-
ed Parties of the Comintern.
The Central Committee of the Work
ers (Communist) Party saw in the &C
tions of Comrade Zinoviey a course
unworthy of a disciplined member of
any Communist Party, and certainly
incompatible with the duties of the
president of the Communist Interna-
tional.
While the Central Committee of the
Workers (Communist) Party vel
comes the fact that the opposition led
by Comrades Trotzky and Zinoviev
have now recognized the danger of
their course and acknowledged their
error in so far as the breaches of dis
cipline are concerned, their belated re-
cognition OF their mistake in this re-
spect cannot serve to excuse their ac-
lions
The Central Committee OF the Work
ers Communist Party, therefore, APP
proves the withdrawal of Comrade Tin
ovieY by the Communist Party OF the
Soviet Union as delegate to the
Communist International The lead
ers OF our Communist international
must be free from the blemish Of
conscious un-Leninist behaviour. The
Executive Committee Of the Com
munist international must be free Of
undisciplined and therefore harmful
elements.
The Central Committee Of the Work
ers (Communist) Party sees in the ac-
lions of the Plenum of the Central
Committee and the Control Commits
sion OF the Communist Party of the
Soviet Union against the leaders Of
the opposition, Comrades .Zinoviev,
Trotzky, and others a we'll earned cen
sure for their disruptive behaviour
It expresses sincere hopes that these
comrades will heed the warning and
will in the future conduct themselves
as disciplined members of the Com
munist International.
The unanimity with which the ECCI
approved the action of the Plenum OF
the Central Committee and the Cen
trail Committee of the Communist
