They are to be featured next Sunday evening at Buckingham hall under the di- rection of Professor Andrew Neuss. The event marks the third Sym phonic concert by the two socie- ties and from all indications Sun day evenings event will be the crowning achievement of the com bined efforts of the groups that have figured so prominently in state musical circles for many years.
 It was announced today that the Concordia Singing society, which is to sponsor the state saenger- fest here next June, would be pre- sented in number of selections adapted to their ability, while the philharmonic orchestra following a presentation of special as we'll as request numbers would join the vo- caliStS in a number of selections. This arrangement will please the admirers of both groups. "The Blue Danube" will be one of the special numbers requested for the mixed chorus and the orchestra. This particular selection which is being featured so prominently by radio artists of late was the out standing feature of the concert given here last May. Many will recall the impression it created and will not wonder why so many requests have been made to have it repeated.
 Rehearsals of both organizations
 are being held this week. Int stage rehearsal will be held Sun. day morning in Buckingham hall Within day or two the complete program will be announced to as- sure scores that their favorite peated.

the refornist Socialists looked with
contempt upon these renegades be-
cause of their Shiny tactics and

of the Communist Party Opposition
convinced us that the only Party
of the working class is the G. p,

Age" and "Exceptionalism" being

ing hand in hand with John Loner-
gan in the sellout of the truck
drivers, needleworkers, and others
in the past year has also con-
tributed to our present action.
We condemn our past activities,
we also realize the fact now that
our being in the ranks of these
renegades has been a hindrance to
the unity of all workers. We pledge
to carry on to the best of our ability
activity in the uniting Of the work
ing class activity in Hartford.
Those of us now involved in activity
in the Unemployed movement will
do our best to see to it that mass
movement of unemployed are mo-
bilized in Hartford. We call upon
all other workers to take the same
steps as we have and work towards
the building of a mass Communist
Party which is the only party of
the Working Class.

Needle Trades Union
Conference Pledges
$1,000 for the Daily
Shop Chairmen in All Departments Urged
To Spread Campaign in All Shops

A pledge to raise $1,000 for the
Daily Worker was made yesterday
by the secretariat of the Needle
Trades Workers Industrial Union,
as a result Of a special conference
held Thursday to take up the ques-
ton of the desperate financial
plight of the paper.
1t was decided to form a special
Daily Worker Committee, for repre-
sentatives of all departments of the
union, to conduct the campaign.
Charles Nemeroff Of the Furriers
Dept. will head the Committee.
Nemeroff, Boruchowich, and Win
ogradsky represented the Furriers
department; the Dressers and
Dyers department was represented
by Burt; and Koretz, Kolkin and
Weisberg were present for the
Bathrobe, Knitgoods and Dress de-
partments, at the conference.
In its call to the needle trades
workers the secretariat emphasized
the support the Daily Worker has
given to the workers OF the indus
try. The Daily Worker is always
m the forefront, it pointed out, in
all fights for higher wages, against
wage-cuts, against the stretch-out,
IN an fights for real social insur-

ance and relief. To provide for the
Daily Worker, the secretariat stated,
means to provide for more power
full fight against arbitration
schemes, against boss terror, against
injunctions, to provide or a more
powerful fight for the right to
picket.
The union will issue a special
leaflet on the question Of the drive.
All shop chairmen of the different
departments were called upon to
spread the campaign in their shops
at once. They were urged to obtain
collection lists and other drive ma
terial and begin distribution. Every
rank and file worker is to be ap-
preached for a contribution. The
Daily Worker must be discussed at
meetings and affairs arranged for
its benefit. Socialist competitions
should be started.
The secretariat further pledged
that every effort would be made to
reach the $1,000 goal by Dec. l, in
answer to the appeal Of the Daily
Worker.
The first meeting of the Daily
Worker Committee will take place
Monday, at $50 pm, at the Office
Of the union.

consulates and embassies, all who
have business and political connec-
lions with Germany, will include the

not defy such a movement, the more
SO as such a cry would rouse a
thunderous echo beyond the work
ing people, among all those sections
of the public who are disguised with
the Vaccinations of the Hitler
Christians, who are filled with rage
on account of the on-payment by
Germany of its debts. They, too,
realize that it is precisely with this
unpaid money that Germany is be-
ing armed at a furious pace for the
purpose of setting up an old-new
Germanic world empire and exter-
minating with bombs, poison gas
and microbes all who resist it.

Workers Writing Reputation
Of Renegade LOUestoneites
Ask to Join Communist Party

We, the undersigned work ers,
have repudiated the right oppor-
tunist line of the renegade Love-
stoneites Communist Party OPPOSE
tom and now apply for member
ship in the only revolutionary party
of the toiling masses, the Com
munist Party.
AS active workers in the unem-
ployed m ovement in Hartford,
Conn, we were continually misled
by the splitting tactics of these
renegades. Although we tried to
fight consistently for united I'M
employed movement here, we were
Stifled continually by these same
Lovestoneites who kept us from
joining the Communist Party by
their lies about lack of democracy
in the party of Marx, Engels, Lenin
and Stain. After attending open
meetings of the Communist Party,
we saw more clearly the correctness
of the line of the Communist Party
and the Communist International.
Looking back, we see the role of
the Lovestoneites in trying to pre-
vent the united front between the
Unemployed Council and the Hart
ford Association of Unemployed. In
the Spring of 1888, in the strike of
unemployed against forced labor
which came about over their heads
through pressure of the rank and
file of the Hartford Association of
the Unemployed and the Unem-
ployed Council. Then again, their
role in trying to prevent the united
front in support of H. r. 1893
Workers Unemployment and Social
Insurance and the Jobless Conven-
ton which took place in Washing
ton, D. c., in February, 1884.

struggles by these renegades, who
