QUESTIONS AND
ANSWERS

Questionable awakening of the masses Is
developing upon correct lines In organizing
various organizations, like the Ex- Servicemens
League, the Unemployed Councils and the
Tenants League, etc. for the emancipation of
the working class Why in YorkviIIe between
Tooth st. and S6th St. Is there no Unem-
ployed Council, no Ex-Servicemen's League no
Tenants League, a workers community club
In this section the workers are ripe for or
ganization. You will get the support of many
workers here.-A Comrade.

OF the city. We would suggest to the conrade
to get in touch with the Unemployed Council
at 16 w. 21st St, or the Unemployed Branch
at 1853 Lenox Ave, which will help him in every
way And the comrade himself should do all
he can to get things going.
AS to the Ex-Servcemen's League, we face
the same situation. There is a good branch in
Lower Manhattan, and one was recently estab-

One little, yet very important correction in the
