Coolidge on June 6, 1924, permitting
S., 100000 to be spent on the struc-
ture. Engineers estimate that the

ADVANCED CLASS
IN ECONOMICS
New York School Opens
Much-Needed Class

NEW YORK, Feb. 25-A course in
Advanced MARKHAM Economics" is Of
fered at the Workers School, 10S r.
18th street, to selected students only.
The instructor, Jacob Minded, will give
brief examination to all those who
register, on the opening night of the
course and those who are not quail
fed, will have their fees returned or
applied to other subjects as they de-
sire. aNn
The student should at least have
read value, Price and Profit" and
Wage Labor and CapitaP'-aby Marx;
or have taken previous course in
Elementary MARKHAM Economics; or
done some equivalent study. The ex-
animation viii consist of definitions or
elementary economic terms such as
value, price, commodity, capital, sur
plus value. 4a
The students of the Workers
School, including even many of those
who are taking the Party Training
Course, have been found to be very
weak in the matter of economies.
Owing to the conditions under which
they have developed politically, they
are well acquainted with the works of
Lenin and very badly with the works
Of Marx. Yet Marxism teaches us
that economics is the key to all of the
social sciences because the economic
structure of society is the foundation
on which all of the social superstruc-
ture rests. Any understanding of poll
tics, tactics, ETC., must necessarily be
defective unless there is a basic
knowledge of economics on which to
build Therefore, the school consid-
ers this course of fundamental impor-
lance and will make a special effort to
get students who are registering for
other advanced courses to also regis
ter for the Advanced MARKHAM Eco
nomics' course. Particularly those
students who are taking the Wednes-
day night Party Training Course and
who have shown that their knowledge
of MARKHAM economics is very defec-
tive, will be obliged to take this
course if they wish to continue in the
Party Training Course.

Fourth Anniversary Celebration
in New York on March 20
at Harlem Casino

The New York league will celebrate
the fourth anniversary of the birth of
the Young Worker at the Harlem
Casino, 10th st. and Lenox avenue
on Saturday evening, March 20.
A varied program of amusements
has been arranged. The Young Work
er has shown during four years of
its existence a vitality which has
meant much to the workers thruout
the country who are struggling for
lettering their conditions. In New
York the Young Worker has played
an important role in the building Of
the revolutionary movement, in uni
flying it's theology, and in the strug-
giles for better conditions. In Passaic,
at present, the paper is theoretically
participating in the struggle of the
four thousand young workers involved
in the textile strike there.
1t is therefore very fitting that the
fourth anniversary celebration should
be the gala affair of the year-and 1t
will be so. Tickets can be obtained
at the district office, 1OS E., 14th St.,
for fifty cents each.

Hardv Is Advice
to School Graduates
BY a Student Correspondent.


CHICAGO, fu.-That the capitalist
class controls the public schools and
uses them make, the minds of the
children safe for the present class
system Of society, was one more brot
out very clearly,at the graduation ex-
cercises held at my school this week.
A play was given in which king was
featured During one part of IT all OF
the actors were compelled to bow
before him and sing to the tune of
The Star Spangled Banner, a song
full of slavish obedience and reve-
renee. The action of the play was
calculated to bring home the moral
that common people must always be
abjectly servile before authority.
AS the high spot of the graduation
exercises we had speech by the
district school superintendent
by the line of reasoning and the men
tally he displayed showed that he was
typical subnormal product of the
capitalist miseducation machine. The
main body OF his speech consisted of
advice as to how to make use OF the
manifold advantages which surround
the young people of to-day" (the dear
fossilized superintendent would be
surprised to hear what some OF the

Commanders without armies" that it
is not advisable in such instances to
build new and better ones in place.
But Communists, however, do insist
that the labor unions are, if not the
heart then very close to it at least, of
the working class movement and,
therefore, the leadership Should be
considered as the mirror of the stan
dard of development of the member
ship. Our policy must and is to or
ganize the party members who are
not as yet members of the unions in
to them with the purpose of revolu-
tionizing the unions in order to make
it possible for them to do away with
the treacherous leadership instead of
the treacherous leaders doing away
with the members of the unions. 1t
is further the duty of our party mem
bers to organize the non-party unor-
ganized workers into the unions.
thereby making the unions real in
struments for the workers for the
fight against the bosses and ultimate
ly to do away with the boss or CAPT
talist controlled state power.
To strengthen the revolutionary
movement the workers must organize
economically as well as politically,
probably economically even to a
greater degree, numerically speaking.

action is what counts the most. Err

The big error of not doing a thing in
fear of making an error, however,
cannot be corrected in any other way
than to begin doing things.
The Comintern and Profintern are
asking every party member to

possible. You cannot be a full

Communist Party especially in the
younger parties like the American
party is, to Iron OUT differences in
order to come to a real unanimous
bolshevik conclusion. At times this
process takes considerably longer and
is more strenuous than expected, but
at all times the party comes out of
them more clearer ideologically and
therefore stronger. That means a
great deal. Such is the process Of
bolshevizing a party. In order to
achieve this it is a vital necessity to
discuss and criticise.
Must Join Labor Unions.
Now that we consider our party 20
Eticaly a united party with uniform
general political line, we must renew
the activities outside of the party a
hundred fold. This is possible with
the additional knowledge and training
the party now has. 1t can more cas-
lily and clearly manipulate the diff.
cult problems confronting it. We
must renew the labor party campaign,
we must energetically carry out the
other campaigns conducted by the
party. These campaigns can now be
looked to as greater successes than
in the past because of the new de-
velopment in the capitalist controlled
countries. Again capitalism is be-
ginning to disintegrate. The party
must take advantage of this situa-
ton from the beginning. In order
to do this the party members, in the
first place, must join the labor uni
ons, because, as it is said in the thes-
es of the G. l. that the "trade unions
are the reservoir of the majority OF
the socially decisive part Of the pro-
Ietariat"
Now, what does this really mean
It means that the revolution cannot
be a success without the workers or
ganized in the unions participating in
it in real revolutionary spirit and
understanding. 1t befalls upon the
members of the party to influence the
unions in this respect. This ought to
be obvious enough to convince any
doubtful comrade of the vital necessi-
ty of joining and belonging to labor
union and being active in them to the
best Of his or her ability.
Utra-Left purity"
The tendency that prevails among
some comrades, which can very cor
rectly be defined as Kautskyan ''puri-
ty," must be combatted. This tenden-
cy, as a rule, manifests itself in ultra
left phrases and theology Comrades
inflicted with it argue that the union
he would be eligible to join is so re-
dictionary that it is impossible for
him to belong to it, less to become
active in 1t. Others argue that to
build up or to assist in building up
the reactionary unions is folly to a
real revolutionist. LET the old uni
ons be busted up by the bosses and
then we will build up real good ones
in place" they say. To these COM
rades it must be shown that that is
pure and simple Kautskyism and has
nothing in common with bolshevism.
Of course Communists do not say
that in instances where the treachery
Of the reactionary leaders has so dis
couraged the membership that the

Meetings
BY J. 3. wlRKKULA


Especially in the third and fourth
congresses Of the Communist Interna-
tional great stress was laid on the
problem Of how to get nearer to the
great masses Of workers, organized
and unorganized. That is, how to get
the workers to understand more
plainly the vital Importance for them
to organize and fight for their inter-
ests as class along the lines of a
revolutionary workers movement.
Especial emphasis was laid on the
problem of getting near to the work
ers organized in economical organiza-
tions, /. e. the trade unions, etc.
The G. l, adopted the slogan:
Back to the Masses" which was
heralded with approval by the Com
munist parties Of all countries, in
America as we'll as elsewhere. The
Workers (Communist) Party at three
Of its last national conventions has
made definite decisions in support of
united front tactics with workers or
CARNATIONS against the bourgeoisie.
These decisions have not been
mere paper" decisions either The
party has done considerable mass
work by the application of this
method thru the agitation and propa-
ganda for a labor party, struggle
against white terror in Europe, sup
port Of Soviet Russia. aiding the
Russian famine sufferers during the
great famine and considerable num-
Der Of other campaigns. The result
of these campaigns has been that the
party has become quite popular
among the workers in the short peri
cd OF its existence.
"To the Masses"
The time is here again to unite the
forces Of the party to carry out the
duties of the party in this field
of activity Some comrades have
probably forgotten that such is a poll
cy of Communist party always.
They have to some extent become in
stilled in their minds that because
I'VE are part of the masses, why the
big noise again about going to the
masses, aren't we there already?"
This must be answered very definite
ly and decisively with facts. It must
be made clear that some of our COM
rades really are there in the Com
munist sense, but it is the task of the
party to pull all the comrades who
are in any way possible to be pulled
into this field of work. The duty of
a Communist or a Communist party
is not merely to be part of move
ment or an organization, but to be-
come the influential and guiding lead
-'v Of the movement with the object
emancipating the workers from the
Z age slavery that now exists.
lit must be remembered that the
party has gone thru a period of Sc
we're self-criticism and discussion dur
ing the past two years. Consequently
it has not probably been able to ex-
ert as much of it's influence outside
the ranks of the party as could have
been done had normal" conditions
prevailed within it. However, we
should not regard the past inner par
ty struggles as a bad feature, but to
the contrary. 1t is necessary in a

superintendent said something that
pretty nearly knocked me off my feet,
and that brought storm Of applause
from all the fond mothers and fathers
who did not know what he meant

PARTY REORGANIZATION
INCREASES ACTIVITY OF
FOREIGN BORN WORKERS

NEW YORK, Feb. 25-There were
comrades in our midst who believed
that with the reorganization of the
party on the basis of shop and street
nuclei, work among foreign speak
ing workers of the country would
suffer, that it would diminish. To-
day everyone can see that exactly
the opposite has occurred. Not only
mas the work not suffered, but on
the contrary the party thru its frac-
tions in the different languages is
today carrying on more intensive
and systematic work among foreign
born workers than ever before.
In the past the work that was car
rled on by the language sections of
the party was very little known to
the party committees. Today for the
first time we are aware Of the great
field of activity for the language
fractions, and are actually helping
the fractions to carry on this work.
In the course of the organization of
fractions we have found that the lam
suage comrades themselves in many
cases lacked knowledge Of the great
number Of workers organizations in
their language while in other cases
they paid no attention to them. To-
day we are working in these same
organizations with excellent results.
