THE following is a report on the
New York Workers School made by
the well-known writer, Joseph Free
man, for the Russian news agency
Tass.)
NEW YORK,-The largest Workers
School in the United States is con-
Quoted by the Workers (Communist)
Party. Since it's establishment by the
party in 1923 the school has grown
steadily, until now over 1000 work
ers attend it's classes. The institution
is known as the Workers School"
Most of its classes-containing over
200 students-are held at the New
York Headquarters of the party
Branch classes, attended by about 300
workers, are held in other parts of the
city and in nearby towns. 81
The students are drawn from all the
important trades in and around New
York, including clothing, fur, millinery,
the metal trades, leather goods, tex
tiles, teaching and clerical work
About so per cent Of the students are
members of trade unions.
The Central School.
The central school gives 81 courses
The most important of these are the
party training, courses, aiming to train
active party members for capable
leadership in trade union and other
party work One of these courses
known as the Party Training Course"
runs for six months and is devoted
to a study of Marxism, party history
and problems, Leninism, and trade
union work.

The Shop Nucleus Training Course
The "Shop Nucleus Training
Course" combines a study of Leninism
with a study of party problems, and
is organized to draw the entire mem
bership into the partys educational
work.
Every shop nucleus elects one men,

The students then return to their

we find contributions and correspond
enc on child labor, on the conditions
Of the workers, on the work of the
Pioneer League, and so on.
1t is impossible, in so short a space,
to describe the full contents Of the
February issue of the Young Comrade.
Special mention should be made of
the splendid puzzle section that has
evoked an absolutely unprecedented
response among the readers of the
Young Comrade.
For every working class child the
Young Comrade is a necessity! For
every working class parent subscrip-
ton for the Young Comrade is not only
a duty to himself, his children, and to
the entire working class but is a real
privilege.

Homeless Armenians
at Last Restored to
Home Under Soviets
BY WILLIAM 2. KRUSE
Especial to The Daily Workerl

MOSCOW,-(By Mai) - Another
1000 Armenians have finally found
the peace and homeland they have
been longing and fighting for centur-
les; these refugees of imperialist and
civil wars have finally manager to
leave Greece and Turkey and make
their way to Soviet Armenia. They
met with a glad welcome from their
fellow countrymen, the farmers among
them settling down in one village
while the artisans and intellectuals,
among them many differents trades
and professions, textile workers, car
pet weavers, physicians, etc., are
spreading thru the different cities.
Housing accommodation and medical
assistance have been organized for
the returned refugees, and public
work has been provided for the un.
skilled workers.
No less satisfying than a secure
economic position for these people so
long prosecuted is the interest dis.
playd by the workers and peasants
Soviet government toward helping
them preserve their rich and ancient
culture. One after another their
tyrannous overlords, the agents of one
or another of the imperialist world.
powers, sought to root out with all
possible means the last vestige OF
Armenian culture.
Now the Soviet commissariat for
public education has worked out an
alphabet that is to be universally
taught, and which will make acces
sible to all Armenians their cultural
heritage. In addition the committee

tiquities Is completing a survey of all
relics of antiquity existing in the
country, taking steps to preserve all
the ancient monuments, and is push

is based upon the class consciousness
Of every soldier. That is the explana-
ton we got from all the soldiers we
spoke to. OF course, we understand
very we'll that discipline should exist
in the red army, but what is so fine to
see is the friendship which exists be-
tween the officers and the soldiers.
The officer, of course, is always a
worker, and when off duty the COM
mander Of red army is a comrade
just like any ordinary private.
Reading rooms, clubs and Lenin
corners are fitted out in all barracks
and all ships for the education of the
soldiers and sailors. Every time we
have visited them we have always
found young soldiers hard at work;
they use their spare time for acquir-
ing all the knowledge necessary for
a real worker of the Soviet republic.
After the end Of this journey, we
may say, we young workers OF one Of
the most important bourgeois counr
tries of Europe, that Soviet Russia is
the true fatherland for the workers
of the world, that the Russian revolu-
ton is the first step that has been
made on the way towards the world
revolution. And we undertake to carry
on an untiring struggle to show to the
young workers and peasants Of France
all the conquests that the Russian
workers have obtained by the revolu-
tion.,
Long live the first proletarian state
in the world
Long live the unity of all the work
ers of the whole world with Soviet
Russia!
Long live the union Of the young
workers of the whole world with the
young proletarians Of Russia!
Long live the revolutionary strug-
gle of the proletariat!

NEW YORK, Jan. 26-The woman
OF the working class is becoming more
and more active in the revolutionary
movement. Instinctively feeling that
there is an important task in the
world for the working class to per-
form, she has entered into the work
and gives herself unstintingly. In
every radical organization, woman
works hand in hand with man. Once
a woman becomes class-conscious,
nothing can deter her from partici-
pating in activities OF the working
class movement.
In the defense of olass-war prison
ers, woman takes a vital part. She
does her best to combat the obstacles
in participating in the
work. Realizing the importance OF
defense work, she carries on an in
tensive campaign OF propaganda
among women: She visits organiza.

happened in the port of Hamburg,
Germany, few weeks ago, when my
ship was in that port. l was looking
around for the International Seamen's
club and happened across the Sea-
mems Mission" so decided to call in
and do little investigation.
Lying SouI-Saver.
I was met by the sky-pilot, Mr.. Ro-
berts, who was before the Russian re-
volution stationed in the port Of Odes-
sa, saving the souls of the lost sea-
farers, and giving them spiritual di-
rection. He asked me what ship l
belonged to, and when l told him, l
was from the S. S. Koursk, he started
giving me a lecture on the menace Of
Bolshevism against organized Christ
ian society.
He told me wonderful stories Of
the work of the christian missionaries
among the seafarers, how it was very
possible to work in harmony with
the ship owning class, without hay
ing any strike or trouble which was
started by the Bolsheviks to upset
law and order, and finishing with the
statement that the word of god was
unknown in Soviet Russia today.
Can't Fool Him!
Then l decided that it was my turn
to speak, and as / have been in Sow
let Russia several times seeing the
conditions under which the workers
live, opened up my story. told
him about the conditions of the work
ers in the factories, on board ship,
club life, education, rest houses.
told that he was a propaganda Of
the capitalist system and that he was
well paid for his work, to defame tho
Soviet Republic under the disguise
of religion, further told him that
the only god that the working class
required, was the god of knowledge,
to enable them to run the state when
we had overthrow the capitalist sys-
tenn, and put all parasites like him
to work for their daily bread, the
same as his kind and breed were do
ing today in Soviet Russia.
In conclusion, may say our part
ing was not very affectionate, and
know that the Rev. Mr.. Roberts is not
very eager to meet my kind in the flu
ture, but, maybe, he shall be more
careful regarding his statements.

achievement but involves great dan
gers if our membership and the non
party workers are not thoroly ac-
quainted with the situation. In this
connection, it must be explained that
recognition is not enough. Even
whole sections of big business desire
that and anti-proletarian liberals like
Borah. We must demand of the So
cialist party not only recognition but
defense of the Soviet Union, and the
working masses must make that de-
mand upon the united front commits

A REAL mass organ of the working
"A class children-that's what the
Young Comrade is fast becoming and
the special enlarged February issue is
an eloquent witness to this. OF it's
eight large pages-for the February
issue is an enlarged issue-two-thirds
at the very least comes from the pens
of the proletarian children of this
country and is an accurate reflection
of their lives and struggles. The
Young Comrade has become not only
the official organ of the Pioneer
League but also the mass organ of
the proletarian children as well.
February is an important month to
the working class child-for in Feb
ruary take place the anniversaries of
the births of Washington and Lincoln.
The bourgeoisie and their servants,
the teachers, are not slow to take ad-
vantage of these figures to raise them
on pedestal, to surround them with
halo of patriotic superstition, and to
create from them heroes for the work
ing class children in order in this way
to build up nationalistic bourgeois
tradition in the minds of the proletar-
lat. The February issue of the Young
Comrade throws itself into the strug-
gle against this well-planned poison
propaganda campaign. 1t shows the
proletarian children who Washington
and inon1n xuoro xuhof Yolo fhaxr rIoxy
ed, what classes they represented.
what ideas they stood for, as whose
heroes they may properly be. Thru
contrast with Lenin it shows very
clearly that Washington and Lincoln
were the representatives of the en-
emies of the working class and that of
the three only Lenin was a friend and
leader of the working class. Thus this
issue of the Young Comrade will prove
of great value in the struggle against
the nationalistic public school propa-
ganda during the coming month.
To acquaint the working class chill
dren with who Lenin was and what
he stood for the Young Comrade has
a special story about the life and work
of this great working class leader.
The feature that shows what the
Young Comrade has developed to be
is the section: From the School
Struggle" This section is a reflection
of the actual struggle of the militant
proletarian children in the bourgeois
school, The fact that this section has
now extended beyond it's original
bounds of one page and now includes
dozens Of contributions relating ex-
periences is an excellent indication to
what extent the Young Comrade has
become an organ of the school strug.

Another section that reflects the de-
veloping mass character of the paper
is the section: Life and Struggles OF

It is understood that we have not
forgotten to see the red army. We
made a very detailed inspection of an
important barracks. We had very in
teresting conversations with soldiers
in various places. In Leningrad we
were allowed to see the sailors Of the
red fleet and we must draw conclu-
sions from all we have seen.
We should at once say that the
French delegation very well under
stood the necessity for the red army.
Like US, every worker should know
quite well the object of the proletarian
army Of Soviet Russia. The red army
is part of the proletarian dictatorship.
1t exists to defend the conquests of
the revolution from the imperialist
countries. And we reply to those
demagogues who talk about red i'm
perialism: there are Al soldiers per
10000 inhabitants of the Soviet Union,
whereas in France without the
colonies) there are 200! The red army
is the most certain form of educating
the young workers and peasants of
Russia. 1t not only works at fighting
illiteracy, but 1t also gives a political
education to every soldier which makes
him a true soldier OF the international
proletariat and of the world revolu-
ton.
Insofar as the treatment of soldiers
and sailors is concerned, we may say
that it is much superior to that of
the democratic French army. The red
soldiers are well fed and clothed.
The barracks are comfortable and the
premises very clean. Discipline can
not be compared with that of bour-
geois armies where the soldier is an
absolute automatom over which the
officer exercises the right of life and
death. The discipline of the red army

NEW YORK, Jan. &c. - 6oston's
municipal court freed Pullman

liquor charge framed on him to
prevent his election as employe rep
resentative, under the Pullman COM
pany union plan, to the Chicago
"waae conference" The Pullman
company found oglesby too active
IN trying to make the ''employe rep
resentation plan" work for the bene-
fit Of the porters instead Of the
profit of the Pullman company
oglesby was dismissed from service
after Is years work with clear
record.
Second Failure.
Once before the Pullman company
failed to make fake charge stick
on Oglesby. He was charged with
transporting a passenger withou.
turning in the fare, but was cleared.
He was arrested on this charge two
years ago when on his way with A.
L. Totten, now field organizer Of
Brotherhood Of Sleeping Car Port
ers, to the previous 'wase confer
ence."
Totten, then in an important po-
sition in the company union, fought
oglesby's case with the company
successfully. Totten has been dis.
charged by the Pullman company
since his activities for the bonafide
porters' union have become known.
Postpone Conference.
The conference is postponed be-
cause the company was unable to
secure a quorum of even alleged
representatives of the porters.
Meanwhile the company keeps a
certain man who uses various
names, kesnell, sayre, etc, on the
road planting alcoholic evidence to
try to trap unwary Pullman porters
and intimidate them. The COM
Pany has secret agents out spying
on Pullman maids, alleging that
maids solicit male passengers
names and offer them their own
addresses. There are about 800
maids and their working conditions
are even worse that those for the
men. They often have to "dead
head" back, that is, return home
unpaid for the time, without the
privilege Of sleeping in the Pullman
car.
