NJ AY DAY IN GRAND RAPIDS

TO protest and fight against bru-
tality in the schools and the eXpul-
sion of militant workers children,
mass meetings and demonstrations
are being arranged.
Threaten Negro Girl
Wednesday morning, April So
signs saying, "Out of Schools, May
First" were found on the sidewalks
in front of Union and South High
Schools, Grand Rapids, Mich. A
reign Of terror was started by the
agents of the bosses in charge of
the schools. The superintendent Of
Schools, Butler, issued statement
to be read in all the classes, which
said that anyone who was out of
school on May First without a good
excuse would be expelled from
school,
One young Negro girl was threat
ened with the reform school because
she said she was going to the May
Day demonstration. Three students
at South High were accused of being
the ones who had painted up the
sidewalk. They had nothing to do

only told the boys to go home.
Abe Sompolinsky who also goes
to South High, was taken to school,
Friday Morning by the Workers De-
tense Corps, which waited outsids
the school until Abe was expelled
and sent home. The towards who
felt so patriotic and brave two days
before with the backing of the
teachers and with the clubs in their
hands, showed their yellow before
the Defense Corps altho they out
numbered it ten to one. The r. o.
T. C. was called out with fixed bay
onets and special squad of police
was sent out.
The Grand Rapids Herald seeing
that the teachers and petty-bour-
geois-minded students of South High
were backing down, rushed to stiff
fen their courage with an editorial
vicious in its attack on Communist
principles, and praising the petted
ignorant DULLES for their clubbing
and roasting the teachers of South
High for not having courage enough
to admit that they did incite the

out of uniform. One of the boys,
Art Kramer, resisted their attacks
and was brutally beaten about the
head with clubs and thrown under
a scalding hot shower with his
clothes on. The boys face is now
swollen way out Of its usual shape.
Then the boys were taken outside
and forced to sit in water full of
acid and scrape at the paint on the
sidewalk. Donald Ford, a member
of the Young Communist League,
was also beaten up in an alley by
the same' gang of petty bourgeois
halfwits.
Some of the teachers, especially
Danny Rose, physical director, in
cited the gang to the attack. Also,
while the boys were being forced
to sit in the acid water and scrape
the paint, teachers stood all around
smiling among themselves. The pu-
lice were called to the scene, but

The May Day demonstration in
Grand Rapids had more than 1900
present in spite of rain. Pat Frary,
Organizer of the Trade Union Unity
League, delivered the strongest
attack on the city administration
ever made. A Red banner was
carried proudly over the demonstra-
'tion.
Two hundred workers came to the
evening mass meeting and made a
strong protest against the terror in
the schools. Kowalski, from Detroit,
made the speech of the evening.
Penalize Youth
The day following the demonstra-
ton saw members of the Young
Pioneers and Young Communist
League of Union High kept out of
classes. They were sent first to the
school principal and then sent to the
Superintendent of Schools, who took
them into his office and grilled them
one at time, trying to get informa-
ton out of them and scare them.
They refused either to be scared Oh
to act as stoolpigeons.

Dear Comrades
On May 1 we are sending to you
our warm comradely greetings from
the many millions of Ukrainian
workers.
On May you will show with your
demonstrations your solidarity with
the land of the Soviets, and will
prove to the social-fascists and So
cial traitors that the hour of their
destruction and the hour OF the rev.
olution is drawing near
We know that in many capitalist
countries blood will flow of our
comrades. but we also know very
well that the capitalist terror shall
not scare you; it will only hasten
the proletariat for the final battle
against capitalism.
Remember. Comrades.
Our slogan IS: Fulfill the Five
car Gil III IOut SdiS.
The workers of the Soviet Union
initiated new industrial loan which
is called Five Year Plan in four
years"
Our city, Kharl;ov,' the capital of
the Ukraine Socialist Republics, is
being transformed into a gigantic
industrial city.
The latest achievement of tech
nique are applied in construction in
this city. In this city the workers
will not only have social nutrition,
but also social education of the chill
dren.
Comrades, on May 1 remember
the Importance Of international
correspondence.
Comrades, friends, the workers
now construct a new world, where
work is joy, where life is worth

Keeping New Members.
You see, just these last few
months, over six thousand workers
joined the Communist Party, $50
OF them industrial workers and 1870
of these industrial workers being
Negroes. The Communist Party is
very much aware of the fact that
sometimes the Party doesn't make

that the local organization where
the new member comes in doesn't
work right and gets the worker who
comes to the Party full of enthusi-

Such condition is not the wish
of the Central Committee, and so
its resolution in this pamphlet, tells
not only what's wrong with some Of
its subordinate organizations and
members that drives away workers
who join the Communist Party, but
how to correct wrong attitudes de-
velOped from past methods and
forms that are now all out of date.

At BERLIN
MASS Meet INC
BY MIRRIAI BONNER.

For some days before March Is,
yellow placards on the kiosks pro-
claimed in red letters to the inhabi-
tants of Berlin that on March Is at
1880 o'clock, there would be in the
Sports Palace, meeting of der
Rotten Hilfe" (the Red Aid).
On March II at $3.50 in the after
noon the Communists had planned
to have a funeral march and burial
for the two comrades who had died
from the injuries they received in
the demonstration of the unemployed
on March 6. At midday | read in
die Welt am Abend" that the pol
ice had prevented the procession by
earlier taking the bodies to the NOR
tuary in the cemetery. Many Com
munists thronged to the cemetery
to honor their dead and to show the
police and the society they protect
that against them they have one
more score to settle.
On March IS in the Reichstag was
passed "das Republikschutzgesez"
which aims to crush the revolution
airy movement by making any Gin
suit" to the government, to the flag,
or to the officials of the government
a criminal offense. New ammuni-
ton was furnished for the war
against the fascist government.
On the night of March Is when
we got off the subway near the
Sports Palace, we saw policeman
guarding the platform Ut was the
first time that | had seen a police
man stationed on the subway plat
form in Berlin). In the street were
many policemen: some walking in
threes and some marching up and
down in larger groups; some on
horse; some in automobiles-all
with pistol, or sword, and gum
minknuppel" (clubs).
Thousands of men and women
were already seated. People moved
about calling, selling papers of the
Communist Party. Young Commu-
uists shaking the money in their
boxes appealed for the support of
various activities.
l read the slogans around the bal
cony: Tear to tatters the Severing
Penal Law (das Republikschutz ge-
sez); "The World October Breaks
the Chains;" Read and Spread
Abroad The Red Flag" (the Com
munist newspaper); Full Pardon
for All Our Prisoners" and Against
the Blue Insult; for the Red Aid"
When the orchestra began to play
a march, the crowd stopped talking,
looking, reading, and stood-eXpec-
tant. From one corner came a pro-
cession of boys and girls, men and.
women, some holding red flags and
all speaking solemnly, determinedly
their. intention to free the proleta-
riat. With the right hand uplifted,
from time to time at pauses in the
music, they shouted the forbidden
Red Front" The crowd standing,
Immediately shouted back "Red
Front"
Pictures of the two men who had
died from the injuries received on
March hung at each side of the
stage. The flag bearers divided,
half standing by one picture and
half by the other, while the orches-
ira played the Russian Funeral
March and the audience stood.

ania, Greece, Mexico, Poland carried
the same meaning: the overthrow of
the capitalist system, the freeing Of
the class war prisoners, and the
establishment of the dictatorship of
the proletariat. At the announce
ment of the death of third work
er from injuries received on March
6, once more the crowd stood while
the orchestra played for a second
time the Russian Funeral March.
After hearing a letter from one Of
the prisoners, we left, but there was
no movement of restlessness, no ap.
parent desire in the crowd to leave
We went out of the building into
a street crowded with policemen
waiting for the Communists to come
out of the Sports Palace.

for the overwhelming majority Of
the Bolshevik leaders. This char
acteristic trait finds its adverse eX-
preston in Trotsky's recurring re-
cital of various Incidents in which
he generously and with high-minded
condescension rewards his faithful
servants, like an aristocrat to the
manor born.
Where Is the Working Class?
Speaking of his early days in
Nikolayev-1896 - Trotsky unwill-
ingly gives further insight into his
petty-bourgeois mental processes,
precisely when he is trying to show
how well he understands the working
class. He says: "Never in my later
life it seems, did l come into such
intimate contact with the plain
workers as in Nikolayev. At that
time l had no name, and there was
nothing to stand between u.s." In
this sentence can be found the full
measure of the abyss between a
Lenin and a Trotsky.
As a matter Of fact, it is almost
impossible to find any hint of the
existence Of the working class in
this book. 1t exists only to provide
dark background which throws into
higher relief the brilliant exploits of
Trotsky, and the deep virtue of loyal
service to Trotsky. AS for the Party
it fares even worse; it really seems
at times as if the revolution was
made not by but in spite of the
Bolshevik party. Not even the Red
Army, which provided Trotsky with
his chief claim to fame, comes off
much better. Never in his whole
story is Trotsky able to make the
reader see or feel that Army; it is
completely obscured by the dram
attic figure of Trotsky strutting in
the front, or sitting at his telephone
giving "historic" orders, filling up
the whole perspective of the picture
For Trotsky it is evident that the
Army existed only as an extension
Of his own personality.
"How | Lost Power"
TIL height of vulgarity is reached
by Trotsky, however, when in chap
ter Al he explains How l lost
power"t The very formulation is a
petty bourgeois, anti-Bolshevik for
mutation. 81, Trotsky, had power
! This was taken away from me- by a
conspiracy of the degenerate leader
ship of the Party headed by Stain.
Stain seized power, because he was
the outstanding mediocrity in a
party of mediocrities, such is the
substance of his whole approach to
and view of the conflict which led
to his election from the Soviet Union
by the dictatorship of the proletar-
lat Every worker will understand
by this formulation alone, why it
was necessary for the dictatorship
to remove Trotsky from all positions
where he could menace it's stability.
The dictatorship of the proletariat
can have no more dangerous or insi-
dious enemy than a leader inside
its apparatus who thinks in terms
! of personal power.
The Shoes Again
At the moment when Lenin's
health first showed signs of failing,
Trotsky already sees a Conspiracy"
to cheat him out of his legacy" of
Lenin's shoes. He lets Lenin know
that he is preparing to fight the
Central Committee. Lenin's Efforts
to prevent this fight, Trotsky with
the most elaborate reports of private
