ENGLISH CLASSES
START SOON AT
WORKERS SCHOOL
Elementary, Advanced
Courses

The foreign-born worker, the most
exploited, and as a rule the most
militant element in the class strug-
gle, is greatly hampered in his con-
facts with English speaking workers,
by foreign accent and his inability
to use the English language fluently.
For workers who feel this handi-
cap in their trade-union work, or in
strike struggles where they fight
side by side with native workers, the
Workers School has organized a
series of courses in English, care
fully graded to meet the needs of
workers Of various degrees of previ-
Gus training.
The classes in elementary English
aim to teach the pupil as quickly as
possible to read, write and speak the
English language. There are special
glasses in speech improvement, and
For the elimination of foreign accent.
Teachers have been chosen for their
training in English, for their knowl-
edge of the life and language of each
foreign-speakirg group. and for
their contact with the class struggle
OF the workers.
Advanced Classes.
The more advanced classes, for
those who can express themselves
both orally and in writing, are in
tended to perfect their mastery of
the language.
Glasses in English arc scheduled
for every evening, from 700 p. m.
to $40 p. m. and from $50 p. m. to
$50 p. m. Among the advanced
classes are courses in Public Speak
ing, Labor journalism and Workers
Correspondence. Registration for
these calsses opens Monday evening,
September 2, and continues through
September &c, when regular classes
begin.

speeches which they enthusiastically
applauded.
Many Speakers.
The speakers were William w.
Weinstone, district organizer of the
Communist Party; Morris Shifris,
who was member of the Jewish
Legion which fought for British i'm
perialism in Palestine; M. j. Olgin,
editor Jewish Daily Freiheit; Louis
Hyman, M. Epstein and J. Sultan.
B. Saltzman presided.
"The Arabian Masses" Weinstone
pointed out, "are rising against
their oppressors, a revolt is taking
place against British imperialism
but the Jewish bourgeoisie will not
admit it.
"The Jewish and Arabian masses
are being killed with the aid of the
Jewish bourgeoisie. The Jewish
masses are being uesd as the tools
of British imperialism in it's plan to
dominate the Arabian masses.
Driven from Land.
"The Arabian peasants are driven
from their land which is transferred
to the Zionists. So what happens :?
The Arabian masses, spurred on by
the Arabian large land owners take
up the fight against the Jewish
masses. The Jewish and Arabian
masses must join in common strug-
gle against British imperialism and
the Jewish Zionists."
Yesterday, groups of Jewish fas-
cists and socialists visited many
news stands in the working class
sections of the city and attempted
to have the news dealers remove the
Daily Worker and the Jewish Daily
Freiheit. They realized that these
two Communist newspapers are CIV
ing the workers a correct estimation
of events in Palestine and want to
prevent the true facts from being
known.

Interested in Campaign.
Deep interest in the Communist
election campaign was manifested
by these workers, who eagerly sign
ed the nominating petitions to
place Albert Moreau, candidate for
assembly in the 18th A. D. and Lib
ertad Narvaez, a Porto Rican work
err, candidate for alderman in the
18th aldermanic district, on the bal
lot.
The response among the Porto
Rican workers in Harlem indicates
the support that is being won for
the Communist Party in the sigma
ture drive. According to the re-
port of the New York Communist
Campaign Committee, petitions have
already been completed for candi-
dates in the 18th assembly district,
Harlem; Sixth assembly district,
Manhattan; 23rd assembly district,
Brooklyn.
Workers are urged to participate
in the signature campaign, so that
the full list of candidates may be
placed on the ballot.

Flore helped him into office again
after the ballot boxes were burned.
Why? eBcause the policy of the
international officials is the same as
that of Lehman, Lasher and Turkel,
to negotiate with the bosses be-
hind the workers backs.
"Flore not only openly supports
Lehman, but already he has started
his splitting policy by suspending
three delegates to the Local Joint
Executive Board from Local 16 be-
cause they issued statement
against Lehman, Lashed and Turkel

most invariably workers and poor

Of those who said they were con-
WINGED of the innocence Of the de-
PENDANTS, the state yesterday elm
mated sixteen by peremptory chal-
lenges. These workers said that in
spite of their sympathy with the de-
PENDANTS they would be influenced in
their final decision only by the evil
dence.
The other seven workers stated
chat they are so fully convinced of
the innocence of the defendants that
they would not vote for a conviction
under any circumstances, and they
were eliminated by the state for
cause.
Exhausting Defense Challenges.
The judge ruled that although a
prosecutive juror admitted prejudice
against the defendants, and even
though he carried this prejudice into
the jury box, if he would say that
he could give the defendants a fair
and impartial trial, then this preju-
dice did not constitute a sufficient
basis for challenge for cause, This
necessitates the defense counsel us
ing it's limited number of peremptory
challenges to eliminate this class of
jurors. There is grave danger that
the defense's 1853 peremptory chal-
lenges will be exhausted before the
12 jurors are accepted, and that such
prejudiced jurors will sit in the trial

RUSS HIRE CAMPBELL
TO SOW THEIR WHEAT

Los Angeles, Jan. 8.-The Times
recently published an announcement
by Thomas D. Campbell, of Hardin,
Mont, who is said to be Americas
largest wheat grower, that ten mil
lion acres of Soviet Russia's plains is
to be planted to wheat and flax with
American machinery under his direc-
ton.
Campbell stated he would sail from
New York January 18th for Russia to
complete agreements tentatively en-
tered into during a recent visit to
this country of a soviet commission.
Campbell will leave his winter home
at Pasadena at once for Washington
and New York.
After the selection of the vast
acreage, Campbell said that more thar
$100, 100000 worth of American plant.
ing. and harvesting machinery would
be purchased for the work. The OBJ
ject Of the Russians, he continued, is
to apply American methods to the
problem of raising food to feed the
Russian people.
An official commission of sever
Russian wheat growers and engineers
extended the invitation to Campbell Il
spend three months a year in Russis
directing the job. The second com
mission visited him, Campbell said, ;
few weeks ago, after which he agrees
to go to Russia to confer with govern

STATES STAGGERING


New York, Jan. S.-Taxes col
lected by federal, state and local
governments for the fiscal year
ended in 1928 amounted to ap-
prOximately $9,169,OOO, 900, ac-
cOrding to estimates made public
!. recently by the national industrial
conference board.
Although complete figures for
that year are not available, the
board said they would exceed the
$9,074, 100000 for the fiscal year
Ianded in 1927, the highest amount
for any one year in the history of
the country up to that time.
The board said the 1927 taxes
also represent the highest total
amount of taxes collected in any
one country in any one year in
the worlds history. This total
amounted to nearly II per cent
of the national income for 1927.
Per Capita High
The per capita tax in 1927 was
$3.50 as against $64.77 in 1928,
indicating that taxes have in-
: creased more rapidly than popu-

air continuously Tor SIX nights;
and nearly seven days following its
take off here on New Years morning
at 7:26:46 o'clock.
The end of one of the greatest
flights in all aviation history came
after a crew of five weary men had
fought constantly against time and
motors which piled trouble in a heap
upon them an hour before the land
ing. Thirty hours before their work
seemed near an end when the motors
balked, but it cleared away and the
flight went on. This time, as though
IN protest to the great strain placed
upon them, the motors suffered, one
went dead" and with another rapidly
failing, they forced the nose of the
ship earthward.
AS the great black bodied plane
with its shining yellow wings touched
earth almost upon the spot where it
had left it so many hours before, a
cabin door swung open and from it
stepped the crew. In the milling
crowd of laughing, cheering army Of
ficers, they were the calmest of all,
broad smiles spreading across their
faces as they heard the acclaim to
their efforts.
Physical Examination
Not one of the five, though worn
looking, faltered, Maj. Carl fSpatz
commanding officer; Capt. Ira G.
Eaker, Lieuts. Harry A. Halverson
and Elwood r. Quesada and Staff
Sergt. Roy Hooe walked to waiting
car which carried them to hangar
and then to Clover field, Santa Moni
ca, Calf, for an official physical ex
animation.
Just what happened aboard the
Question Mark before the landing
was told by Lieutenant Quesada il
simple words as he lounged in the
automobile speeding to the medica
base.
"Just as / left the controls at 1 :0(
o'clock this afternoon, Captain Eake1
took the wheel and the left motto
went dead. We sent Sergeant Hoo
out on the catwalk, but his weigh
was too heavy in the unstable condi
,tion of the Question Mark.
"We knew then that the flight wa
over. We dropped the gas within
two or three minutes after we ha
taken it.
Lieutenant Halverson was Athlete
with slight cold, but otherwise tn
crew showed little apparent i'll ef
fects. When they crawled out of tn
cabin the acclaim of the shouting
crowd was met with shakes of thei
heads, indicating that roaring motor
for six days had deadened their hear
ing. However. two hours later thei
conversation disclosed that the effeC
upon their hearing had been onl
temporary.
