Among the costumes shown in the new color are REFER topcoats,
casual topcoats with pleats at each side of the front, jacket suits With
stitching and buttonleSs closing at the side, as well as fitted Youthful
Jacket suits with three slit pockets to the side. In addition to these.
shrtwaiSt dresses also have been shown in Sandringham blue.
The proper color for accessories with the new shade is said to be
brown, which has been shown effectively with it.

Athletic Club Season to Open Sept. go

ID ESERVAT1ONS for the opening party at the indianapolis Athletic
IN Club, Saturday, Sept. 90, are being accepted. Henry Theis and
his orchestra have been engaged for time between studio engagements at
WLW in Cincinnati by the club.
Mr.. ThdS once deserted the orchestra business to become a business
man. He opened two cafes in Detroit, where outstanding bands were
featured, but left the business world a few months later to reorganize
his band.
Elaborate plans are being made by A. E. Martin, manager of the
club, for the opening dinner. Dancing will be in the fourth floor ballroom
from 9 o !, and after 10 an a a carte supper service will be available.
Attractive new menu cards have been put in use at the club. OF
bright color, they bear the club insignia at the top, and below this sepa-
rate slips of different conred papers, bearing the luncheon, dinner, de
luxe dinner, and a la carte menus.
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1934-09-15

The complete plan involves the training and
assistance of a master filter in each shop, and a
complete course of training for all statesmen. Sales
men at the WATSON store soon will be included in
this course.
Along with the X-ray machine, which has been
in use in the WATSON shoe department for some
time, and by which the customer is enabled to see
the bone structure of the foot, the new method will
use another device, the "Measuright." This device
is exclusive with I. Miller and measures both feet
at the same time.

Secretary of Communist Party of Ireland Relates
Struggle of Irish Workers at 9th
Convention of the C. P.

it is clear that in the United States
the Irish population, as the Negro
comrades stated yesterday very cor
rectly, constitute mass basis for
the ruling class, who utilize national
sentiment for imperiahst chauvin-
istic ends. Yes, the work among
the Irish masses is a weakest spot
of the Communist Party. And the
weakest spot of the Communist
Party is the strong spot of Amer
lean Imperialism. 1t will help us
if We take away from this Con-
vention definite idea of why this
is So And 1 think the answer can
be stated in a few words: namely,
that in the past, the American bour-
geoisie has known how to utilize
the revolutionary struggle of the
Irish people for independence
against imperialism in England in
the interests of American imperial
ism, and we in the Communist
Party both here and on the other
side have not yet mastered the way
to utilize the Irish national strug-
gle for the proletsrian revolution
and proletarian internstionalism
This is exactly our problem
What are our perspectives? What
are the possibilities for carrying on
work among the Irish? l think
that in this crisis situation there
are possibilities we have not had
before. First, American imperialism
is no longer on the upgrade, no
longer an alternative to British i'm
perialisrn for the Irish dispossessed
farmers and impoverished workers.
This has tremendous affects in
ireland. 1t helps chatter the illu-
sions of large masses in Ireland
about the possibilities of American
imperialism being the way out OF
the misery and oppression of the
Irish people wrought by British i'm
perialism. The Dollar Republic with
100000 cut of work is no longer
an advertisement for the capitalist
system among the Irish Quite the
reverse.
Secondly, the situation in Ireland

Negroes Would Enjoy Full Rights in
Soviet America
In Soviet America, the Negro
people will enjoy full and uncondi-
tional equality throughout the
whole country. Such equality neces-
sarily includes the right of the Ne
gro majorities in the Black Belt to
determine and control the form OF
government in that territory With
out this democratic right, equality
would be mockery. This need not
necessarily mean that these Negro
majorities will set up a Separat e
government, apart from the govern
ment Of the Negro and white work
ers and farmers in the rest of the
country. That, however, is a ques-
ton they themselves will decide
with democratic guarantees to the
toiling white minorities in the Black
Belt territory, who now suffer only
in a lesser degree from the pre-
da.ory rule of the white landlord
capitalists.
These rights will not be "vouch-
Safed" to, or conferred upon the
Negro people, but will be won by
the Negro workers in joint revo-
lutionary struggle together with the
white workers.

gle Of the youth. Hundreds Of other
YPSL. members had been brought
up for expulsion.
Have these same leaders who
threatened and expelled members
for their loyalty to the interests of
the working class, become the
champions Of the united front?
There has been no reputation Of
their past stand And there will not
be because it is unchanged. Only
the method of defeating united
front has been changed. In the past
YP.SL. leaders evsded and rejected
offers for united struggle against
hunger. war, fascism and the other
issues facing the youth. They relied
on outright refussls and lies to make
a united fighting front impossible.
That tactic left them isolated. That
exposed their reactionary character
before large numbers of youth. Many
of their members joined the Young
Communist League as a result Of
this enlightenment Others were ex-
PEELED.

Now the tactic of the YPSL.
leaders is revised. They have reason
ed as follows; Let US form our own
snug little united front. We can pick
up the Trotzky and Lovestone rene
gade sects and our own half dozen
groups. We will then have a united
front. More than that, we will turn
right around and propose united
front activity to the Young Com
munists and their supporters in
stead Of receiving embarrassing pro-
posals from them which find such
favor among our own members. If
our proposals are accepted, then
we will meet in committees. safely
away from the eyes Of the world
and propose terms that the other
groups cannot ACCEPT. In this we
will get the support Of our Trotzkv
and Lovestone friends. They are
bitter fighters Of Communism also,
but they do it in the name Of Com
munism. BY this maneuyer we will
try to convince our members and

movement il developing towards new
struggles and it is in this situation
that the Irish Communist Party has
been launched last year. We have
the doubtful distinction of being the
last country in Europe to form a
Communist Party. This in itself
will indicate to you that our tasks
ere not easy. I can say, however,
that as a result of our activities in
the struggle of the Irish masses
since the formation of the Party
and prior to it, the Irish Commit
nistS have definitely won a place in
the movement of the Irish workers,
in the eyes of the masses. I think
this is of some Importance to the
American workers in the fight we
have now entered for the leader
ship here in this country, in view of
the influence which Irish events
play in the political life Of the Irish
here. The eyelopment of strong
Communist Party in ireland can be
a source of much assistance to the
Communist Party Of the u. S. A.
In this connection will mention
that in Belfast in the North of
Ireland year ago there took place
one of the biggest mass upheavals
that has yet characterized the
workers struggles in the British
Isles. namely The famous October
struggle for relief, which was organ
lied by our Communist Party in
Belfast and which resulted in dem
constructions amounting sometimes to
forty and fifty thousand workers.
which for a city like Belfast is a
tremendous achievement. LAD
plause.1 And this struggle was a
successful struggle, which tripled
relief scales. Belfast was for two
days turned into a city resembling
civil war-barricades. The workers
tore up the streets when the gov
eminent force prevented the mass
demonstration and march on tne
city council; they barricaded the
streets and two work srs were killed
by state forces.
Breaking Down Religious Bsrricades
The Communist Party has demon

religious barriers and differences
which divide the Irish nss-es. For

ther upsurge of the revolutionary
national struggle and the class
struggle of the workers. And in
this situation we have the possibi-
lily Of tackling the problem Of win
ming the Irish masses from the
Tammany politicians here and from
the bourgeois nationalist over in
Ireland because the struggle in Ire
land has now become so sharp that
the middle class nationalist, who
have hitherto monopolized the polit-
ical field in Ireland, are being more
and more exposed. They are be-
ing exposed on the ground of the
national struggle itself. 1t is more
and more being demonstrated that
the middle class nationalist are
not leading the fight for national
independence, but are leading the
Irish masses to national disaster.
to national capitulation to Great
Britain.
This exposure is being fastened
by the changed political situation
in Ireland resulting from the 1921
trea Y. The bourgeois naticnalists
are no longer mere opposition to
British imperialism. They are now
in charge of the state; they arc
now in charge of protecting the
Irish capitalists, protecting the CAPT
talist state in Ireland against the
rn1.l-N Y.- i~
portant thing which is opening the
eyes of the masses in Ireland to
the character of the middle class
nationalist who have been able to
up till now to maintain su7f po-
litical monopoly in Ireland. A few
facts will indicate the kinds Of
struggle that are taking place.
Struggles in Ireland
The crisis has tremendously af-
fected the country. Cut of a pcpu-
lation Of four and half million,
there are almost a quarter Ct a
million industrial workers uncm-
ployed. And in the cource OF the
past year in all the main industries,
but CT particular Importance, in the
three principal transport industries,
the railways, the docks, and the
coastwise sea traffic, each OF these
three have had long strikes, the
railway strike lasting for ten weeks.

MOULD it be jim-crowism for the
W Negro majorities Of the BLACK
Belt" of the South to control the
government Of that territory where
they constitute the majority of the
population?
In an editorial in its April issue,
captioned Communist jim Grow
ISM the Pittsburgh Courier quotes
a sentence from one of the docu-
ments of the historic 9th Conven-
ton Of TIE Communist Party, which
met recently in Cleveland;
"The Negro people will obtain
full equality and the right TO gov
ern as they see fit in the black
belt of the South where they are
a majority"
With shameless dishonesty, the
Courier proceeds 10 read into this
sentence, wrested from its context
the distorted meaning that full
equality for the Negro people, under
a proletarian dictatorship in this
country, would be limited to those
territories where they constitute a
majority, stating:
This sounds very much like the
49th State idea. Negroes should be
grateful to the Communists for
letting them know in advance that
only in some sections of the South
where Negroes constitute the ma
iority Of the population will they
be vcuchsafed full equality after the
Revolution"

the youth generally that united
front is impossible. In all cases we
can fall back on our own little
united front. Thus. we can steer our
own members away from united
front and at the same time save our
own faces and appear as having the
interests Of the working class at
heart.
This has been the tactic that the
YPSL. leaders have been follow
ing. 1t has been the same old tune
with different words. They hope by
the new tactic to stem the tide Of
growing unity. The sight Of Y.P.SL.
branches supporting National Youth
Day already in New JERSEY. Seattle.
Connecticut, etc, has frightened
them. They try new schemes to
separate the ranks of the young
Socialist and young Communist
youth and the ranks Of the non
Party youth. The schemes of the
YPSL. leaders must fail. There
must be only one fighting demon
stration on May 30th.

our Party in the North of Ireland
hitherto had been confined chiefly
to the Nationalist section and now
it is the other way about. We are
winning the membership and in
1uence in the Orange section, which
was one Of the hardest sections to
penetrate, the Orange section is
akin to the 100 per cent American
section Of this country. SO that the
Party in Ireland is launched on the
basis not only of the struggle of
the nationalist masses for indepen-
dence, but on the basis Of the class
struggle of the workers against the
capitalists in the very heart of the
imperialist center.
Irish Republican Movement
The second important point that
I want to stress here is in connec-
ton with the Republican move
ment. Our Party in the South Of
Ireland came largely from the Re-
publican movement and especially
from its more militant sections.
Certain groups are Influenced by
a very confused leadership. You see
terrorist ideas; lack of understand
ing Of the necessity for mass work;
AGAINST participation in parliament.
But among these groups are the
best revolutionary elements of the
irish wg 1-ers and peasants. And
Comm ideas and influence are
growing anone the Republican rank
and file pedestrians in Ireland
The Communist Party has been
able, in conducting the struggle
against the rise Of fascism. to over
come somewhat its weaknesses
among the industrial workers in the
South Our fraction in the Dublin
Trades Council, most important
body of the industrial workers in
ireland, W2s able to get q resolution
carried fl. a general strike against
fascism on May /. 50 that we have
got over some of the major initial
difficulties in the formation Of the
Party. we have got over the charge
that could be made against us at
the beginning that the Party was
