WORKERS CHORUS
WILL SING MAY |
Proletarian Songs on
Lithuanian Program

Three choruses of Lithuanian work
ers, the "Aida" and "Lyra" Of Brook
Ign and the "Setyna," of Newark,
will combine as one chorus to sing
working class songs in Madison
Square Garden at the meeting called
for May First by the Workers (Com-
munist) Party, and endorsed by other
working class organizations of Great
er New York.
II is expected that all the Lithu-
anian workers of the district will
forego organizing duplicate meetings
and join in the united demonstration
at the Largest hall in the world"
The program of the combined
chorus is evidence of it's solidarity
with the working class on this pro-
letarian holiday. The program con-
sists of: "The International" "Jura"
by j. Valentis and "Rusiay Brangi,"
arranged by J. Valentis.
With fascism raging in the their
native land, which is being used by
the imperialists as base for hostile
operations against the Soviet Union
the bulwark of the working class
the Lithuanian workers are especi-
ally interested in demonstrating
against imperialism and for the de-
tense of the Soviet Union. With their
fellow-workers in Lithuania continu-
ally facing the danger of military ag-
gression on the part of Poland, which
will never relinquish its imperialist
designs on that small country, and
with the old Imperialism of Germany
on the other border gradually reviv-
ing after the severe blow of the world
war, the Lithuanian workers in
America are interested in making
the huge May Day meeting a dem
onstration against war.

Beg Scholars to
Go Easy on
Heavy VGmtQges

PROVIDENCE, R. l., April 18.
Fear that the social prestige
which Brown University once, held
for years has been destroyed by
drunkenness Of the students" is
expressed in an editorial in the
Brown Daily Herald.
The editorial at the same time
appeals to the scholars to refrain
from excessive drinking at the
forthcoming Junior prom" which is
to be held this year at the new
university gymnasium.
"Men from this university at
other institutions are pleasantly
hailed as drunkards," says the
editorial ruefully.
The chronic state of drunkenness
complained of exists in the majority
of the colleges and universities, it
is pointed out here. Interesting
also is the fact that the conduct
of the students has not been
changed by the frequent 'heart-to-
heart" talks delivered by John D.
Rockefeller, a graduate and heavy
contributor to the university.

Badly Shocked

Maciejewski, the official Polish
hangman, was one of Pilsudski's
favorite officers of state. He served
Pilsudski long and faithfully. But
unfortunately Maciejewski shocked
the tender moral sensibilities of
Marshal Pilsudski by drinking to ex-
cess and accommodating debts.
Yesterday the Ministry of Justice
announced that Maciejewski had
been dismissed and that his place
would be taken by his assistant.
Pilsudski also exhibited his moral
delicacy by announcing that here

be provided with gallows erected

WEST FRANKFORT, Ill.,, April
1S.--Mine districts in southern Illi-
nois are responding to the call of the
Save-The- Union forces to picket the
mines signed UP by the reactionary
Fishwick machine.
Over six hundred miners marched
near here in a demonstration against
the order to go back to work. The
southern Illinois district of the Save
The Union Committee, of which
Gerry Allard is secretary, has issued
thousands of circulars calling upon
the miners not scab on their Penn
Ohio brothers.
The circular reads in part:
Once more the coal operators are
attempting to attract us in their
fatal web. Again the coal miners
of Illinois are being brazenly be-
trayed by the reactionary Lewis
Fishwick machine.
Brothers! Mine Workers of II
linois! Refuse to scab on your

against militant union action, con-
tanned in their recent brief the board

The request of the employees was
for an upward adjustment of S1.5 a

MASS PICKETINC
WINS BACK MANY
SIGNED UP PITS
Gust Lewis Officials;
Take Control
By ALBERT GLOTZER.

SPRINGFIELD, Ill.,, April 49,
Despite the attempts of the official
dom of the United Mine Workers Of
America in Illinois to minimize the
work of the Save-the- Union Commit
tee, events continue to prove that the
movement to GUST the corrupt Of
ficialdom grows both in numbers and
influence.
The officials in Illinois are now
carrying on the separate agreement
policy. Local agreements are signed
and handful of miners sent back to
work. To these workers going back
on the job the officials inform them
that it is useless to carry on a ma
tlonal strike, that the union is going
to sinash and that is why they should
continue to work and get all they can
While it lasts. This is the policy of
tte so-called "progressives" of the
Hindmarsh (Springfield sub-district
presldent) type. There are other
reasons why few mines are signed
up.
Salary Hounds.
When it is understood that the Of
rlclals draw their salaries from the
miners dues, and when the miners
are out of work they do not pay dues
Then the problem is a simple one. A
lew mines signed up means the con.
tlnuous salary of the officials.
But the Save-the- Union Movement
has taken Illinois by storm. The
miners here well remember the be-
trayals during the wildcat strikes. the
repeated sell-outs by the Lewis
machine. To them separate agree
ments mean destruction of the nnion
and worsening of their conditions
Ahey are not so ready to lose their
union which they gave their lives to
build. The militant history of the
United Mine Workers of America 10
still IN their minds and thew stand
ready to fight on.
The machine publishes big headline
announcements in the newspapers of
mines signed up. This is done to de-
stroy the moral of the miners. To the
district office of the Save-the- Union
Committee, kilograms come in daiIy
OF the growth of the miners move
ment. In Pochahantas where the
mine was signed up, wire came into
the district office that the men refuse
to work.
Natural Agreement or Nothing!
They are for a national agreement
or nothing.
From the West Frankfort district
the news comes that hundreds of pic
kets are at the Old Ben mine and
that the work is successful. In Belle
vile where the officials come to the
mine at morning to help the operators
against the miners, and where deputy
sheriffs are employed to use force.
the picketing is increasing daily. Out
of 5000 miners in the Belleville dis
trict only 700 are working. In Spring
field the spirit of the miners in
creases daily and they too are picket
ing the two mines working. The same
is taking place in Auburn.

"But first we must make the Work

be our own unless all class-conscious
workers join in raising the $4,000
necessary to purchase and finance the

Heart of the Movement

q With the establishment of District
,, Workers (Communist) Party in
he new Workers Center, Pops Union
Square, the Party will take a great
step forward in it's penetration into
The mass activity Of the American
workingclass, declared William W.
Weinstone, district organizer, yester-
day.
"The site for our new home has
neen chosen" Weirstone said with
an eye to the political development Of
the revolutionary movement. Union
Square has during the last few years
become the heart of this movement,
from which all militant worllingclass
activity radiates. 1t is only neces-
sary to point to the Sacco-V anzetti
demonstrations to make it clear that
Union Square can now with justice
, be called Red Square.
i A Stronghold
a. 1.-THE coming of the workers (Com-
munist Party to Union Square means
it's emergence more completely than
ever before into the economic and po-
litical arena of the workers of this
city and vicinity. 1t means the es-
Establishment Of a mighty stronghold
of the revolutionary movement with
IN the territory Of both our friends
and our enemies.
Among our comrades we will have
the Freiheit, organ Of the revolution
airy Jewish workers, and among our
friends q number Of militant unions
in the vicinity. Among our enemies
will be the new Tammany Hall at
18th st. and Union Square and the
moth-eaten Rand School at 7 E. 18th
st. The notorious, yellow Jewish
Daily Forward, if reports are true,
is also coming to Union Square.
Expect New Members
"We expect an influx Of new men,
bers when we move to Union Square.
The part the Workers Party is play
ing in every struggle of the Ameri-
can workers is beginning to bear
fruit. Greater and greater masses
of workers are realizing that the only
political party that fights for their
interests in revolutionary way is
the Workers Party.
"The socialist party is now openly
admitting what it has practised for
the past few years and is abandon
ing even forma: recognition of the
class struggle. It's flimsy mask has
been removed and it is now revealed

The Workers Party has therefore a
great task to perform. And our com
ing to Union Square will enable us
10 perform this task as it should and
must be performed and to direct or
influence every phase of workingclass
activity
