Great excitement pervaded the au-

speaker and former Boston comrade',
Albert Weisbord, who had so recently
come from the great scene OF battle
in Passaic, where he led the fighting
textile workers. He was greeted with

Comrade Weisbord's speech was a
paen of praise to the Russian revolu-

short years, what the czars in all their
hundreds Of years Of domination, were
not able to bring about.

New York Gives Talks
to Aid Working Class

NEW YORK, Nov. 22.-The Ameri
can working class has yet to learn
that Karl Marx not only made great
theoretical contributions to the work.
ing class movement but that in his
own life he showed the concrete steps
and actions that must be taken to
build up strong labor movement.
Marx was not concerned with alb
stract ideas, but with fighting against
and changing capitalism He devoted
a great part of his life to that end. A
study'of Marks work in the First In.
ternational would furnish a mine of
material and understanding for an ap-
proach to present-day labor problems.
For this reason a study of the First
International, Marks fight against the
, Utopians, against Bakunin, his atti-
tude toward the role of unions. his
I conception of the problem Of oppress-
ed people-are a prerequisite with.
out which no working class leader can

as well as its weaknesses. This part
OF the course is very necessary today.
as millions of workers the world over
still follow the Socialist (Second) In.
ternational and do not understand the
opportunism and chauvinism that per
vades that organization. Was the be-
trayal of the Second International in
1914 mistake, an accident, or was it
Inevitable and something that will
occur when similar crisis arises !?
This is fundamental question that
will be answered in the course.
Lastly, the Communist (Third) In.
ternational-its principles. strategy
and tactics-will be studied. This in
ternational, which aims to carry out
the work started by Marx and the
First International, not only makes de-
cisions for the world movement of
the proletariat, but for the workers of
the various countries, enabling them
to meet their specific problems. The
study, therefore, should be of double
interest to the American working
class students who aim TO help lead
the American workers.

School Students Interested.
Previous to the election a number
of high school students paid the "Dev-
IFS Angels a most welcome visit dur
ing discussion of the bible-in-the-
school issue. The youngsters got
kick out of it, as the bible question
was before the student bodies at the
time
Parents of six sorority girls, sus-
pended from the Los Angeles high
school, are threatening to take the
case to court. The girls violated the
school laws concerning secret socie-
ties, school authorities claim. This is
very serious. Respect for laws of
god, Moses and hypocriticaI christians
is breaking down, and with it goes
disrespect for laws made to glorify
capitalism and enslave labor.
Officials Fight Atheism.
Well, a Billy Sunday-Aimee McPher-
son revival ought to be started at
once-and the Los Angeles Times will
probably stage another oratorical con.
test on the constitution. In the mean
time school principals and officials are
fighting to prevent atheist organiza-
