Commenting on the drive to raise
$4,000 to establish the Workers
Center, Juliet Stuart Poyntz, national
director of women's work of the
Workers (Communist) Party, de-
clared yesterday:
"The Workers Center is the great
est undertaking ever launched by the
working class of New York City. A
center to house all the leading insti-
buttons of the militant labor move
ment: press, education, political ac-
tivities-this has been the dream of
the New York movement for years.
Eroaf affor+c xxya,~o ,,a n do bxy %ba xxyoyir
ers in the past to realize this dream.
The Forward building, the New York
Call buildings, the Rand School, the
needle trades headquarters and labor
lyceums We're built with the pennies
of the workers, painfully scraped to-
gether with much sacrifice, only to be
confiscated by small group of right
wing plunderers for their own profit.
To Rally Workers
"Now at last the militant workers
of New York can build home for
themselves safe from the danger of
appropriation and prostitution by the
misleaders of labor. For the new
Workers Center on Union Square will
be under the guardianship Of the van
guard and leader of the revolutionary
movement, the Workers (Commun-
ist) Party. Only in such hands can
the workers entrust the building up
of their labor center, to be a rallyinq
point for the forces of the working
class in the years of conflict ahea
"The Workers Center, as it dc
velops, will prove one of the greatest
sources of strength to the militant
labor movement. In the new strug .
giles that develop with American i'm.
perialism, the Communist movement
and the left wing will find the Work
ers' Center on Red Square a citadel
around which the, masses viii rally
From the new and greater Workers
School and DAILY WORKER there
will be sent out light and strength to
the workers struggle all over the
country" .s
