The following letter written from
Moscow by Thomas L. Dabney after
a five weeks trip thru Russia, con-
tains some unusual information about
the Russian educational system. Mr..
Dabney was graduated from Brook
wood this year and has only recently
returned from four months tour
thru England and Russia with an
American student delegation.
August 81, 1926.
Moscow, U. S. S. r.
Our delegation returned to Mos
COW on August 10, after trip of five
weeks thru the southern part Of the
Soviet Union. Altho our itinerary
was covered rather hurriedly, we had
the opportunity of gathering some in
formation on the educational develop
ments in the colleges and universities.
/ was particularly interested in the
type of courses given in the technical
and academic schools that We visited.
OF course the Russian schools have
their vacation in summer, but they
are open for students who do their
practical work.
Summer Work.
There were many students in all
of the colleges and institutes that we
visited. All of them were doing spe-
cial and practical work which had to
be done during the summer Russian
students are required to do some prac-
tical work with their theoretical train
ing. We saw so school children get
ting practical training in the use of
tools and machinery in an iron factory
at Kharhov. They go to school four
hours, and do practical work four
hours a day. e
1 shall never forget the conference
which we had with the director at
Saratov University. 1t was from him
that we got the human side of the
story of educational development
prior to the revolution. We could ap-
, preciate the story of the clash between
students and instructors, because we
learned much concerning the part
which Russian students had in revolu-
tionary propaganda from our visit at
the Museum of the Revolution in Mos
cow. Russian students fought not on
ly for the freedom of the peasants and
workers, but for more freedom and
power for themselves. The director
said they demanded too much, but as
time passed, both students and in.
structors adjusted themselves to the
new situation following the revolu.
ton.
sb40 II Gain 2 Much as4 vawn,
Russian students have gained much
for themselves by their long struggle
for more participation in the affairs
of the colleges and institutes which
they attend. They are represented
on all committees dealing with
courses, departments and the Council
of Administration. Students no Ion
ger regard instructors as members o
higher class, but they regard then

Duke to the spurious labor leaders
trailing behind the democratic band
wagon.
Wilson Consistently Anti.
The record OF Wilson is consistently
anti-labor. AS secretary of labor he
aided the despotic regime of A.
Mitchell Palmer, encouragement in
Woodrow Wilson's cabinet, deport to
lands from which they were political
exiles thousands upon thousands of
workers who had hoped to find in this
country haven Of refuge from politi-
cal oppression. It was Wilson himself
who had to approve every deportation
warrant-many of which proved to be
death warrants for workers delivered
into the hands Of European despotism.
William B. Wilson is just as ridicu-
lous when he processes to speak in
the name of the party of Thomas JEFF
ferson as is William S. Ware when he
tried to conceal his infamy under the
cloak Of Abraham Lincoln. Both of
them are servants of big capital and
enemies of the working class. And
either of them will stand with the
reaction in the senate and uphold the
imperialist orgy of Wall Street by sup
porting such ventures as the world
court, the league Of nations and other
institutions that exist for the sole-pur
pose of preparing another blood bath
for the workers Of the world Each
of these senatorial candidates stand
for their party's support of imperialist
policies, which, if permitted to con-
tinue, will lead the workers Of this
country onto foreign battlehelds again
to defend the interests of banking
capital on Wall Street.
Owns Seab Mine.
Wilson, in addition, is an owner Of a
mine operated by scab labor, which is
one of the reasons why he failed to
receive the nomination of the Cambria
county labor party.
Go to the polls on election day and
rebuke the takers at the head Of the
labor party by supporting the straight
Workers Party ticket. A vote for the
Workers Party is vote for a. class
party Of labor. A vote for Wilson
Ware, 5onniweIl, Fisher or any repub
lIean or democrat is a vote against

WICKS REVEALS
WAR RECORDOF
Dem. CANDIDATE

PITTSBURGH, Pa, October I'll
Speaking before a meeting Of miners
in Avella, Pa, H. M. Wicks, Workers
(Conmunist) Party candidate for gov
ernor, dealt with special problems con-
fronting the miners and paid his re-
spects to William B. Wilson, candi-
date for U. S. senator on the demo
cratic ticket, pointing out the fact that
Wilson, while secretary of labor, was
one of the principal enemies of labor
in the country.
Tells of Record.
Wicks related the role of Wilson
during the war and quoted some of
his proclamations to labor to refrain
from asking for decent conditions
during the conflict and promising
them anything they desired after the
war was over. He then showed how
Wilson carried out his promises by
signing deportation warrants for thou
sands upon thousands of workers who
had come to the United States in the
hope of finding a haven of refuge
from European political oppression.
Exposes Labor Takers.
Wicks exposed the takers at the
head Of the Pennsylvania labor party
who first tried to get Pinchot to run
on their ticket and then endorsed the
democratic slate after Pinchot turned
them down. The speaker emphasized
the fact that the Workers Party alone
upholds the elementary demand for a
class party of labor and is fighting
against all renegades and traitors act
ing as leeches upon the labor move
ment.
Negroes Present.
The meeting was held in Miners
Hall and half the audience were
Negroes. Wicks related his observa-
lions while attending a meeting OF
the republican menagerie at the Henry
Hotel the day before where Ware:
Fisher. candidate for governor on the
republican ticket, and others address
ed a handful of republicans. He re-
lated the fact that a number of Ne
groes were there as decoys for the
rest of their race. AS usual in Penn
sylvania campaign meetings the ques-
ton of slush funds as they pertain to
Ware, the hooligan candidate. was
dealt with.
Francis Speaks.
w. C. Francis, of Pittsburgh. one
of the Negro leaders and prominent
in the American Negro Labor Con-
gress addressed the meeting, dealing
with special problems confronting the
Negro in the mining industry.
Mrs. Parthenia Hills, candidate for
lieutenant-governor on the Workers
(Communist) Party ticket also spoke
briefly, dealing with vital problems
confronting workers in this section
and stating the position of the party in
opposition to lynching, segregation
jim-crowism, and other special prob
lens affecting the Negro workers.

Besides more than paying all ex
penses of the meeting by contributing
to a good collection for campaign pur
poses, there were six new subscriber;

5razen Treachery.
We brand the endorsement Of the
democratic candidates an act Of
brazen treachery to the masses of
workers of the state Of Pennsylvania
who have been for years moving in
the direction of a powerful labor party
that will truly represent their inter
ests. Instead Of striving to create an
Independent party of labor, the people
at the head of the so-called labor
party have used their positions to try
to deliver the labor vote into the
hands of the democratic political ma
chine, which is nothing more than the
expression of the interests of the great
banking combine of Wall Street, dom
mated by the House of Morgan.
spurned by Pinehot.
The record of the official heads Of
the Pennsylvania labor party has been
one that should discredit them before
all intelligent workers. First they OF
fered their support to Governor Pin
chot, unsuccessful republican aspirant
for the nomination for U. S. senator,
and Beidelmann, aspirant for nomina-
ton for governor on the same ticket.
Both these men declined the labor
nomination with thanks.
After being spurned by Pinchot and
Biedelmann, these forlorn leaders
then hawked their endorsement to the
democratic machine. AS leaders Of a
labor party, even if in name only, it
was the duty of these men to strive
to create an independent labor party
and to place ticket in the field
upon which all labor elements could
unite The Workers (Communist)
Party of America used all its influence
in order to get these leaders to enter
the campaign with genuine labor
slate, instead of endorsing capitalist
party candidates. But 80 bound tC
