1t is our sincere belief that this can

Do the workers who are members
of the Socialist Party understand
that their leaders are refusing to per-

ton? Do the rank and file members
of the Socialist Party know that we
can have united struggle land with
material successes, we believed inn
mediately, as soon as the sabotage of
such unity by their leaders ID
smashed? The National Executive
Committee of the Socialist Party has
tried to make It appear that the COM
munist Party refuses to discuss the
question with the official representa-
tives of the Socialist Party. This Is
not true. The Communist Party does
not refuse to discuss the question of
unity with any representatives that
the Socialist workers select or recog-
flize as their Spokesman.
But the Communist Party does not
propose to postpone It's efforts to
unite the workers ranks Until Social

With strong united mass move

cally promised to lend $8,850,000 on
the project. The cost of the building
is estimated at $9,289, 708.
These figures mean that the private

NEW YORK.-When the boss of
