September 6 to 10 to help BUILD the
ORGANIZATION, the party promises
to regain all of its old-time strength
before election day comes around
Put your shoulder to the wheel, and
PUSHl
Red Buttons for Red Week.
Every party member should wear
the party button.
During Red Week especially every
Socialist should show his colors.
Make it a point during that week to
pin a red button on every party mem
Der and on every Socialist sympa-
thizer of your acquaintance.
Nothing will make 50 strong an i'm
preston upon the public mind, right
during these days of war, as to see
that little emblem of the class struggle
and symbol of universal brotherhood
worn by great numbers of earnest men
and women.
Get supply of buttons at once from
the state office, Box 491, Everett,
Wash, and tag every Socialist
One dozen are fifteen cents. TWEEN
ty-five or more come at a penny
apiece. Sell them at a nickle and use
the profit for Socialist propaganda.
A Labor Day Pointer.
Sell that eight-hour button that you
are wearing to some fellow worker
that has not got one yet. Then back
to your local secretary and make him
happy by buying another. If he can
not supply you, send two-bits to the
state secretary, Socialist party, box
491, Everett, Wash, and Uncle Sam
will bring you a button by return mail.

This is the hospital list of the So
cialist party of Washington. These
are the 35 locals that for some reason
or another didn't report, and who
therefore are not in good standing ac-
cording to our state constitution
which REQUIRES that local report
before the 18th of each month on the
month preceding.
1t is for YOU to say whether your
local shall be carted from the hos
pital out to the morgue, or whether it
shall join the III live ones that re-
ported on the firing line for the month
of July.
Attend your next local meeting and
have a heart-to-heart talk with your
secretary whose duty it is to report.
COME ALIVE during Red Week, and
surprise the enemy by taking the OF
FENSIVE once more.
To the Lonesome Socialist.
You who are carrying on your lone
ly propaganda among the heather, has
1T occurred to you that some of them
may be about ready to be "saved"?
Events are making Socialists fast
these days. Why not try to organize
local in your community? The ease
with which it can be accomplished
may surprise you.
The week of September 6 to IS has
been set aside as Red Week by the
national organization of the Socialist
party. During that week every So
clalist, no matter where he lives nor
what his business, is expected to do
his utmost to BUILD the PARTY. Let
your contribution be new local.
If you don't know Just how to go
about it, or have not the necessary
blanks, write L. e. Katterfeld, state
secretary, Box 491, Everett, Wash,
who will gladly send you the informa-
ton and supplies.
