Industrial Squad
Attacks PiCketS
in Window Strike

The police industrial squad attacked
three striking window cleaner pickets
yesterday at Second St. and First Ave,
in a resumption Of the employers cam
paign of violence.
Joseph Katz, business agent, Irving
Gordon, president of the Affiliated
Window Cleaners, a dual union, and
Harry Fink, manager of the bosses
association, fell upon the picketers
and started beating them with lead
pipes. The picketers defended them
selves. Five members Of the indus
trial squad then went TO the aid Of
the company union officials. The
beaten workers were Joseph Walgus,
John Malino and James Kratzel.
Walgus was struck on the head
with a blackjack by one of the de-
tectives. Malino was hit on the should
er with a club and punched in the
face. James Kratzel was take nto St,
Marks Hospital with two teeth club
bed out of his mouth.
Following the assault the picketers
were arrested and charged with dis
orderly conduct. They were taken to
the 9Th Street Police Station and held
under $500 bail each. After they were
bailed out they preferred charges
against the company union officials
and members Of the industrial squad,
but no arrests were made.
When informed of the arrests Peter
Darck. secretary Of the Window Clean
: ers' Protective Union, Local 8, said,
This is the latest attempt on the
part Of the employers association and
the company union to break our treas
ury by framing our men and putting
us to an enormous fees expense"

Dec. IS
After reaching Moscow via Ply
mouth, England, Helsingfors and
Leningrad, they will separate into
groups for visits to outlying indus
trial centers of the Union of Social
list Soviet Republics.
"We are going to the Soviet Union
for the same reason that other
groups have gone, whether educators,
scientists or trade unionists," Will
lam Watkins, president of the
Switchmen's Union local in st. Paul
and secretary of the delegation, said
just prior to the departure.
Lessons for U. S. Movement.
"Trade unionists of the United
States should always be ready to
study conditions in other parts of the
world, notably conditions that contain
obvious lessons for our own labor
movement. AT the present time the
Soviet Union is of particular inter-
est to- u.s. We are anxious to see
how the Russian trade unions are
functioning. And it is our plan to
bring back with US knowledge that
can be applied here. We hope to be
able to report effectively to the
workers in this country what we
find We aim also to avoid dupli-
eating altogether the study made by
the group just returned.

One of.the. most advanced courses
offered by the Workers School is the
course in Marxism-Leninism with
Bertram.D. Wolfe, the schools direc-
tor, as Instructor This is the only
six months course offered by the
school, all others running for a period
of three months.
The first half of the course reviews
all of the works of Marx available
in the English language, with the
exception of his writings on econom-
les, and the second half reviews the
works of Lenin. The course begins
with a study of the origins of Marks
theories. How Marx, out of utopian
socialism, metaphysical materialism
and Hegelian dialectic, welded a scien-
tific basis for socialism, a study of
his revolutionary career, and finally
a study of 'Lenin as a Marxist," in
which the roots of present-day Com
munist theory and practice will be
shown to be imbedded in Marxism-
all these are the basic elements of the
first half of the course.
t The Imperialist Era.
The second half of the course fol-
lows directly from the study of Len
in as a Marxist" in Part One and
from the study of capitalist accumu-
lation to an analysis Of the economies
and politics of the era of Imperialism.
Then follows a study of the prole-
tartan revolution and it's tactics, the
relation between workers and bour-
geois revolutions, the revolution as a
problem of power.
Examinations Given.
Those desiring to enter this course
are given preliminary examination
in which they must demonstrate some
familiarity with the majority of the
shorter works of Marx and Lenin
available in the English language.

OUDECEST PLOT
Exposure of Conspiracy
to Stop Labor Unity

The sabotage of the movement for
international trade union unity by the
reactionary leaders of the Interna-
tional Federation of Trade Unions,
and in particular by Secretary Dude
geest, is exposed by Heber Blanken-
horn in an article in the October is
sue of The Railway Clerk, official
organ of the Brotherhood of Railway
and STEAMSHIP Clerks.
"Tomsky Sincere, Attack Him."
The conspiracy to wreck the unity
movement came out into the open at
the recent congress of the l. F. Of T.
U. when John Brown, the English
secretary, read a letter written by
Oudegeest to Jowhaux, the reaction
airy French labor leader, which treats
the efforts of the Soviet trade unions
to bring the trade unions Of all coun-
tries under one banner in the follow
ing treacherous manner;
"Tomsky seems to desire collabor-
alton on a sincere basis; it is there
fore time to attack him."
Tomsky is the chairman of the
Soviet Council of Trade Unions.
Broke Up Headquarters.
The explosion that followed the
bombshell thrown by John Brown. sent
Purcell flying home and "other lead
ers assembled even higher without
leaving the hail." SAYS Blankenhorn.
at was impossible to elect officers.
A committee was chosen to consider
the future. Headquarters were or
dered moved from Amsterdam and
the building there sold"
Rather than see the Soviet trade
unions inside one international, rath-
err than enable the workers to con-
front wrld imperialism with a united
front, Oudegeest and company would
smash the l. F. T. U.

Stocks Tumble to New
Low Marks; Auto Trade
and Oil Show Depression

Unsettlement in the automobile
trade and in other important sections
of American business was made the
basis for violent attack on indus
trial stocks near the close of the mar
ket yesterday. Prices tumbled to
Ia points as selling orders poured in
to the market and the ticker service
fell behind nearly half an hour in
reporting sales to the brokerage
houses. Houston oil tumbled IA
points to Isl in the final period as
support for the stock particularly dis
appeared under an avalanche Of sell
ing orders. Earnings for the first
nine months of the year were disap-
pointing.
General Motors Hit.
General Motors was again the CEN
ter of attack. The stock declined to
1877, the lowest price on the current
move and loss Of about points for
the day.
Railroad stocks, usually strong
center in periods of declining indus
trial stock prices, displayed conspicu-
Gus weakness. Lehigh Valley lost
about 7 points, while Chesapeake &
Ohio, was down AZ; Erie down 3;
Southern Pacific down 3 and Union
Pacific down 2.
A S40,000,000 increase in so-called
brokerage loans, or speculative Dor
rowing, reported this week by the Re-
serve Board, brought the total of bank
loans on stock exchange collateral to
rev high level for the year.

England's Momentous Decision

There has never been time when the world faced
subtler, nilder-lookng, yet direr, peril than 1t
does today. It jeopardizes al that we mean when
we speak of white mans civilization.
Vacuousy prattlng of the unspeakableness of war
between them, Britain and America go on twist
ing each others tail" as Viscount Cecil puts it, and
drifting toward break which would mean the very
thing both wish at any cost to avoid.
Just now, as a leading British publicist expressed
It, the chief subject of political controversy in England
is who was the villain of the piece at Geneva Why
did the Anglo ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS naval limitation
parley break down?
The truth is, not one man but many men were at
fault because the main obstacle at Geneva was the
failure Of those in charge of Britain's destiny
to recognize the altered conditions in the world.
What we mean is this: Events, rather than design,
have combined to make the United States actually
the richest and potentially the powerful nation
on the face of the glade Our interests differing no
doubt from those of other powers the less are
as far-aung any and great requiring at least as
vast machinery for their protection
For centuries Britain has occupied the most exalt-
ed position of any nation in the world. Today time
and fortune have placed us beside her. In the past
when such thing happened, when Britain found her
place at the head Of the procession menaced, she
SJruck ana SCrucK naro rlddlng herSeu OF such a
presence. She has always refused to tolerate an
equal
What is Britain going to do now? Does she intend
to recognize the United States her equal in power
and place in the word9 And is she going to hold out
her hand and say: Lets be friendslets be sensible
and agree to live and let ve?" Or will she allow the
bitterness of the moment to blind her-as notorious
ly does SO many leaders among men when they dis
cover their supremacy slipping and SO commit the
folly of which in time would carry her down
to her doom, taking us and the rest of civilization
with her?
1t is momentous decision and no doubt dis
agreeable one which Britain must make, and, like
all questions of life DEATH she must make it for
herself. No do it for her.
But of this she may rest assured We in this coun-
try are her friends and believe at heart that she is
Certainly we covet nothing she has And when
we propose parity in naval tonnage it is not with
any idea of challenging either her prestige her bread
line or her trade routes but simply that equally
great country needs equally strong security
That IS all.
