realize that you are anxious to have
me pay my dues to the Bronx
County Medical Society, instead Of
to another county. This merely
emphasizes the picsyune motives
which are prevalent in our medical
societies.
With so many economic problems
staring us in the face, the unoffi-
cial medical organizations have
failed to do anything for the solu-
ton of any of them. The rank and
file physician, as well as the in
digent patient, are worse off than
they ever were since I began the
practice Of medicine, twenty-three
years ago.
For time I thought that I
could do something to stir up our
colleagues into organizing on mod
ern economic lines; but it seems
that their social and political pref
udices are stronger than the real
(economic) interests which under
lie them.
In view of the above facts. I
have decided to resign from the
Bronx County Medical Society and
to contribute the $40 annual dues
to one of the many proletarian or
carnations which. at least, are do
ing something for the welfare Of
their members.
"Regretting that I cannot accede
to your desire of my remaining a
member of the Bronx County Medi-
cal Society, and trusting you will
not consider this letter from per-
sonal point of view, I am

New York. N. Y.
Dear Doctor Landy:
In reply to your short-notice re-
quest to appear before your Board
and at an hour most announcement
for me, I hereby decline to do so
for the following reasons:
Monday October Is. 1898. I had
telephoned for a transfer to the
New York County Medical Society.
to the secretary of the Bronx
County Medical Society. His efficient
Office failing to comply with my re-
quest, I wrote to the organization
directly, on November Bird. To this
letter Dr. Podyin replied January
4th, 1894, asking me to reconsider
my desire to transfer. Evidently. the
reply was delayed for the sole pur-
pose of forcing me to pay my 1884
dues to you. Inasmuch as I had long
been in disagreement with the
county state and national policies
Of our official medical societies with
their utter disregard Of the eco
nomic interests of the rank and file,
l decided to resign and advised you
accordingly on February LIST.
II heard nothing further from
you until today (six weeks later
summoning me before the Board of
Censors. in relation to a health
column that I am conducting. What
has this to do with my resignation?
And why was nothing said about
my column when there was still q
possibility that I might remain a
Cdues-paying) member?
1T is clear to me that you are
trying to find fault with my literary
activities in order to have technical
grounds for expelling me, instead of
permitting me to resign. What
arouses your ire is that ] should
have the temerity to write for a
Communist publication. Had I been
a contributor in a capitalist sheet
and willing to continue paying my
dues. you could have overlooked
anything; otherwise I am to be
censored
Realizing that the cards are
stacked against me. refuse to APP
pear before your Board. You may
expel me if you like, but it will be
to your eternal shame. AS for me
I have thrown in my lot with the
militant section of the working class
whose official organ is the Daily
Worker, against the prevailing sys-
tenn of greed and exploitation.
Very truly yours,
PAUL LUTTINGER, MD"

Jerome, has been made into a semi
mar course designed to encourage
students to do original research in
various phases of historical mate

the major concrete tasks of the
Party for winning over the ajority
of the working class. This course
is open to students who have taken
Historical Msterialism 1 and to
those who are found eligible by the
| instructor.
The Brownsville Workers School
reports that they register Party
members for the school right in
the units. Last week each unit
organizer received registration

80 COURSES IN
SAN FRANCISCO

News from San Francisco. Their
winter term had over three hundred
students, and their Spring Term
began yesterday March 5th) at the
Ruthenberg House, 121 Haight ST..
with thirty-two courses scheduled
A quota of six hundred students has
been set for the Spring Term, on
the basis Of 100 per cent growth dur
ing the last term Well, we hope
the comrades are not disappointed,
but our experience has shown that
the Spring Term always shows a
drop in registration.
New Jersey reports classes in Eli
zabeth and News Brunswick in
Principles of Communism and Polit-
ical Economy, with an attendance
Of 20 to 30 students, composed of
painters, carpenters, small business
people and laborers, also farmers,
professionals and housewives. They
have made use of the system Of re-
ports in the classes by students, and
found that in one case a student
who gave a good reports in class
could be used to give the same talk
in a neighboring town to branch
of the International Workers Order.
From Washington, D. c., we
are informed that a class in Fun
damentals Of Communism is given
by Emanuel Levin, of the Work
| ers' Ex-Servicemen's League. and
another class in "The Negro in
America is given by Charles
Spencer, every Friday night.
In Richmond Virginia. there is
| q forum held every Sunday night,
under the auspices of the Commu-
mist Party, at $685. North Second
Street. We hope the comrades will
soon be able to gather enough forces
to establish real Workers School
and be an antidote to the so-called
Workers School, of the Socialist
Party in Richmond.

Suck, little baby, suck long,
Body mustn't be frail
Muscles growing firm and strong
Daddy's in the Fulton jail.
Sleep little baby, sleep sound,
Under the southern stars.
Body growing hard and round
To break the prison bars.
Hate, little baby, hate deep,
You mustn't know my fears.
Mother is watching your sleep
But you don't see her tears.

Dear DR.. Luttinger
we have at hand your letter
asking for a transfer to the New
York County Medical Society.
Since it arrived too late to be
acted upon by the Comitia Minora
at its December meeting, it will be
necessary to take it up at the jan
uary meeting In order therefore
to grant transfer during the year
1884, the Bylaws require that the
dues for that year must be paid to
the Society granting the transfer.
In other words, If you pay your
1884 dues to us we will willingly,
though reluctantly, give you a
transfer to New York County
(where you will have no further
dues to pay until 1880.
I'VE would very much prefer that
you would remain a member of our
Society as you are one Of our oldest
members.
