classes and decreasing Of the
teaching staff, for free hot lunches
for school children and for free

The Communist Party statement
points out that such a United La
Dor Party" ticket would strengthen
the forces of the workers against
the reactionary Citizens Alliance,
and would in no way infringe upon
the organizational independence Of
any Of the uniting groups.
1--WE sincerely believe" the Com
munist Party declares, that united
action and united labor ticket is
possible of realization in spite of the
fundamental differences in program
and tactics Of these political parties.
Without infringing upon the organ
national independence of any one of
the political parties, without giving
up the right for each of these par
ties to advocate its specific program,
it is possible and it is necessary in
the interests of the working class
victory over the Citizens Alliance to
build up such united front in the
coming city elections.
Should you endorse in principle
such united front and the placing
of a United Labor Ticket in the
coming city elections, we propose
that you elect committees from your
respective parties to meet with a
committee from our party to formu-
late a definite program and work
out ways and means for the pro-
posed united action.
Awaiting an early reply,
COMMUNIST PARTY, U.S.A.
