WORKERS PARTY ASKS SOCIALIST PARTY TO JOIN In
FORMATION OF UNITED LABOR TICKET

Municipal Court of Manhattan. The
campaign in the Second Municipal
District is a special situation in
which we believe the Workers Com
munist) Party and the socialist party
can make a united campaign as a
demonstration of class solidarity
against the candidates of the capt.
talist parties.
eve feel that Jacob Pancken could
be one of the candidates of such a
United Labor Ticket. In spite of our
fundamental differences with the So
~cialist party, of which he is mem
Der, and our criticism from the work
ers' viewpoint of the conduct of this
office and the nature of his electoral
campaign as carried on thus far, still
we feel these differences and short
comings should not be allowed to di-
vide labor's forces in this campaign
and result in the victory of capitalist
reaction in the Second District NUM-
cipal District.
All Shades of Labor.
':sSuch a ticket and labor candidates
should be one on which all shades of
the labor movement could unite re-
CARELESS of such political differences
between the various parties and ten
denotes. Such a program should in
clude such points as the following;
q. Against the use of injunctions
and police in labor disputes.
SO. For freedom of organization,
speech, press and assemblage.
SO. For a Labor Party and United
Labor Ticket.
a. The issues in the local city and
state situation referred to above
IS. Against the Baumes laws.
SO. For recognition of Soviet Rus
STA, and should clarity the task of
the working class and the conduct APP
propriate to the American working
class in the event that the United
States should join with other coun-
tries in attacking the Soviet Union.
81. The criticism of the long term
period for judges, etc.
"The formation of United Labor
Ticket and joint candidates would be
welcomed by wide masses of the
working class.
We ask your immediate reply to
our proposals.

School
Emphasizes u. S.
Glass Struggles

An outstanding difference between
the Workers School of New York and
previous institutions for MARKHAM la
Dor education in the United States is
the insistent emphasis that the Work
ers School catalog and list of courses
lay upon studying American condi-
tons, American phenomena and
American problems There was ten
dency in previous education ventures
of a similar character slavishly to
initiate European Marxism, which
was an application of the methods Of
working class science To European
problems.
New Courses Listed.
The new catalog of the Workers
School, now available for free distri-
button, lists large number of courses
dealing specifically with America as
the laboratory for study by members
of the American labor movement.
Some Of the courses which show this
tendency are: The Development of
American Thought, Arthur C. Cal
houn instructor; America Today, Jay
Lovestone; Historic Struggles of
American Labor, David J. Saposs;
The Development Of the American
Empire, Scott Nearing; Some Aspects
of the American Mind, Bertram d.
Wolfe; American Trade Union Prob
lens, William z. Foster; Present Tao
ties of Employers in the United
States, Robert w. Dunn; History of
the American Communist Movement,
Max Bedacht; and History Of the
United States, Jim Cork.
Stress American Struggle.
All the courses, whether their
Americanism is obvious in their title
or not, are marked by this same ten
dency. Thus, the Fundamentals of
Communism course differs from such
books as the "a B C of Communism"
in that the latter is based almost en-
tirely upon European experiences and
European problems, while the course
given at the Workers Schoo! consists
Of studies of conditions and problems
facing the American working class.
As another example there is Course
No. 35, Tactical Problems of the Com
munist Movement. D. Benjamin, in
structor. The description of this
course reads in part: Beginning with
an analysis of the present period Of
Imperialism, partial sterilization end
the special situation in America, the
course then deduces conclusions as to
tactics which follow from that analy-
Sis"
Schools Influence Grows.
The entire work of the Workers
School and all the courses offered by
it evidence this tendency to make all
courses of direct and maximum use
to the American labor movement in
the solution of the problems it faces
in the most powerful imperialist and
capitalist nation of the world. This,
no doubt, is one Of the contributing
factors which serves to explain the
rapid growth in influence and in popu-
larity of the Workers School
Those desiring to receive the school
catalog can get it free by writing to
the Workers School, 10S East 18th
St., New York City.

Wood, poet and novelist, at the Inger-
soil Forum, on divorce, free will, the

ut was offensive to me to have
bad neighbors and to have them use
my name and my church as part of
their propaganda the reverend doc

ing Of quarters in Carnegie Hall by
the Ingersoll Forum,
Smiths counsel questioned Straton
closely and somewhat personally as
to birth control, morality and similar
subjects.
Publicity Seeker and Charlatan?
Was it ever brought to your at
tention that you We're called publicity
seeker and a charlatan and that hun
dreds were driven from your church
OH account Of your views ?" the at
