MONTREAL—Harry D’Agostino, speaking, and Kevin Dwire, Socialist Workers Party candidates for lieutenant governor of New York and Massachusetts governor respectively, addressed 21 people at a special Militant Labor Forum here September 19 about the class struggle in the United States and the response to the SWP campaigns for the November 2 mid-term elections.

D’Agostino described the broad interest of workers on the streets of New York City to the Pathfinder book Malcolm X, Black Liberation, and the Road to Workers Power by Jack Barnes. During a break in the animated discussion period, an appeal was made for the Can$11,000 Communist League fund drive that brought in another Can$280, taking the Canada-wide campaign that ends September 26 over the top.
