WORKERS SCHOOL
Heavy Enrolment in
Fundamentals Course

Over six classes in Fundamentals
of Communism will be offered in
the Workers School this coming fall
term, to be given on the different
evenings of the week. In view of
the fact that the course in Funda-
mentals of Communism had over
200 registrations last fall term, the
largest registration for any course
in the school, except that in Eng
lish, the Workers School is pre-
pared to open up even more classes
in that subject if registration war
rants it.
The following is a schedule of
classes in the Fundamentals of Com
munism.
Section /, Monday, $3.50 to $50
p. m. Eve Dorf, instructor.
Section 2, Tuesday, $50 to $50
p. m. A. G. Bosse, instructor.
Section 8, Wednesday, to 500 p.
m. Harry Fox, instructor.
Section 4, Thursday, to 500 p.
M. Ella G. Wolfe, instructor.
Section 5, Friday, 7 to $40 p. m.
Rebecca Grecht, instructor.
Section 6, in daytime for night
workers. Day and hour to be ar
ranged with the class.
The Fundamentals of Communism
course, which is the basic course of
the school and which is a prerequi-
site for the intermediate and ad-
vanced political courses, will analyze
the nature of present day society,
the problems confronting the work
ing class under capitalism, the ma
ture of the working class movement,
the way out for the exploited and
oppressed masses, what the dicta-
torship of the proletariat is, and the
characteristics of Communist So
ciety.
Due to the expected heavy enroll
ment and due to the fact that the
size of the Fundamentals of Com
munism class will be restricted to
30 so as to make it possible for all
the students to participate in the
work and discussion of the class, all
workers are urged to register i'm
mediately. For more detailed in
formation come to the office of the
Workers School, 1928 Union

Wing Terror

Workers in the large ladies' gar
ment manufacturing shops of Hattie
Carnegie Inc, held joint meeting in
Bryant Hall, 42nd St. and Sixth
Ave-, in order to hear the detailed
story of how one of the oldest mem
bers of their union, Local SO of the
international Ladies GARNER t
Workers Union, was assaulted by a
right wing funetionary, who works
in the Hattie Carnegie shops.
After listening to the members
who participated in the local meet
ing where the assault took place, the
workers, after discussion partici-
pated in by the adherents of Louis
G. Rea, the assailant, overwhelming
ly voted to pass a resolution of con-
demnation upon right winger, Rea.
The resolution, which demands the
removal of Rea, follows:
we, LIE WOIh6IS VI AldGIlS Val

Whereas, Louis G. Rea, who is
the chairman of the executive board
of Local SO has made a murderous
attack upon one of our oldest union
members, Brother Chazanoff, and
succeeded in slashing his face, and
Whereas, Louis G. Rea is our
co-worker in Carnegie shop,
Therefore be it resolved, that
Louis C. Rea cannot be elected in
our shop to the office of shop chair
man nor as a committee man; and

Further resolved, that we de-
mand of the executive board Of Lo-

GUILT LAID TO
TAMMANY OPEN
SHOP BUILDERS
Labor Officials Wink
at Violations

One worker was killed and at
least two were very seriously in
jured yesterday when a wall Of the
new, Tammany-built subway at 53rd
St. and Broadway collapsed rs feet
below the surface. Angelo Sam
arell, SO, of 202 Grand st. Hoboken
was instantly crushed to death in
the fall of brick and mortar. Tony
Hascarelli, 80, of 400 West 28th St.
received fracture of the leg and
internal injuries, and Cornelius
Curtin, 80, of S41 Washington St.
suffered a possible fracture of the
skull and received other injuries.
The two workers were taken to the
hospital for the ruptured and
crippled.
Speeded- Up.
The men were engaged in the
building of brick wall which is to
separate the east bound from the
west bound tracks and are said to
have been working at an excessively
rapid rate and were given little
time to provide for the security of
their work. Another theory for the
cave-in states that the mortar used
by the Tamnany contractors who
build the walls, is of a very inferior
quality.
Violate Regulations.
Workers on the city-built subways
are supposed to receive the prevail
ing rate of wages, but practically
all of them work below the scale
under non-union conditions with
the knowledge and approval of the
Tammany-controlled labor officials.
Workers report that inspectors of
the Transit Commission seldom go
into the tunnels, but merely appear
on the surface and walk on.

League who pulled the platform
over to the sidewalk.
Soon after, William w. Vein
stone, secretary of the New York
district Of the Workers (Commu-
nist) Party arrived on the scene.
Weinstone notified the police that
the Workers (Communist) Party as
a political party would hold the
meeting; that at present there was
an election period and parties were
supposed to have the right to speak
to the workers. The precinct cap
tain argued that the meeting sche-
,duled was not political meeting
and in order to prove this he dis
played leaflet issued by the Work
ers Party earlier in the day, which
exposed the low wages, long hours,
unsanitary conditions and tyranny
over the workers in the Eagle Pen
Gil plant, as well as the role of the
democratic and republican parties in
aiding the bosses.
Police Intimidate Workers.
The police then decided on diff
ferent tactics--to permit the meet
ing because Of the determined stand
of the Workers Party, but to drive
the workers off the street. But
many workers remained and heard
the message of the class struggle,
of the necessity of the workers or
ganizing against the bosses and of
fighting against the parties of big
business, of the importance of the
workers supporting the Workers
(Communist) Party and of voting
for its candidates, William z. Fos-
ter for president and Benjamin Git
low for vice president. As one
worker present put it: 81 intended
voting for Smith, but the police
aren't going to tell me when l have
to go into the factory; I'll go when
l please and take the Daily Worker
with me-"
The Workers (Communistl Party
is going to hold it's next open air
meeting in front of the factory this
Friday at noon.

Issue Appeal.

The William Schiffrin Defense
Committee yesterday issued an APP
peal to the workers of New York,
which was distributed widely in the
gathering places and markets here,
The appeal called on all workers to
see that their organizations send
delegates to the conference of labor
organizations called by the commit
tee for Sunday afternoon, l o'clock,
in Irving Plaza Hall, 18th st. and
Irving Pl.
The purpose of the conference is
to raise a sufficient fund to defray
the legal expenses for the trial and
appeals should they become neces-
sary. This seems to be the case, be-
cause the right wing trade union
officialdom in this city are mobiliz-
ing all their forces to frame up
Schiffrin for long years in prison.
Appealing directly to the workers
reading the leaflets, the committee
calls upon them not to wait for ac-
ton from their fraternal and union
organizations, but to contribute i'm
mediately themselves, by sending
their donations to the office of the
defense committee at 1928 Union
Square, room 500.
