All details of the operations have
been refused at the Hoboken yard,

of war supplies to the warning South

Practically the judgment of the Su-
preme Court represents a compro-
mise consoling the socialist minis
tiers of the deposed government with
the shadow Of offices while the Fed
eral Commissioner Bracht continues
, to hold complete administrative DOW
Ter. The deposed Prussian government
is allowed to sit in the state parlia-
ment and appoint representatives to
the Prussian Council.
The Supreme Court further de-
clares in its judgment that the charge
that the socialist ministers failed
while in power to make full use of
the state against the communists, is
without basis.
The political significance of the
verdict is that it clearly shows the un-
Willingness OF the bourgeoisie to
abandon the socialist weapon in the
struggle to maintain capitalism.
Immediately after the coup which
ousted the socialist ministers and de-
prived them Of state power. the Su-
preme Court refused to grant an in

appointed by him until the petition of

The court, however, decreed that the

Chats with Our

The question of improving the quail

is one of the most vital questions We
are confronted with today.
Comrade Stain, speaking about the
press as d medium of organization,
said the following:
'The press is The only instrument
by meals CT which the Party speaks
daily, hourly with the working class
in its own language. There is no
other way by which the spiritual
threads between the Party and the
working class can be spun, and moth
ing else is so flexible as the press"
Those workers and farmers who
take pains to sit down and write their
stories in their own language, will
also be good organizers If given prop
er direction.
In this new section, called "Chats
With Our Worcorrs," we will from
time to time try to give some guild
ance to our many worker correspond

particularly their demand that sea-
men, irrespective of how long they
have been out Of work, shall get
medical care and treatment from the
Marins Hospitals.

Their reception at these offices was
about like that at the White House.
They were given pretense Of well
come and handshaking by high Of
ficials, but not quite the highest, and
a promise to consider the demands"
In each case they plainly warned the
officials they would be back thous-
ands strong in December with the
National Hunger Marchers, and would
insist on an answer.
