cember. Local Cataldo, Kootenai
County. We had n local there at one
time, but it has been delinquent for

lows: am sending you list of
fifteen names for the International
Socialist Review. Twelve are for one
year and three are for six months.
have been rustling like a good Jimmie
Higgins to get subs. and the other
day Comrade Gus Mattison came in
with five names and that gave me
quite boost in getting up this list.
| am coming again with another batch
as soon as | can round them up.
Comrade CHI. Twyford donated 81
to the organizing fund and also a
dime for the Party Builder. He also
subscribed for the Review for him
self and another party here. He's
some Socialist. | collected $500 yes
terday and sent to Herbert Mailer
for the Everett Defenc Found Well,
this is all for this time. | remain
yours to help wake 'em up.-Comrade
Harrington is certainly doing his part
to wake 'em up" If we had a few
more hustlers like him in the state
we would wake some of 'em up. The
Henry Dubbs are as hard up there
as anywhere else, but still Comrade
Harrington is able to get results. 1t
is only matter of getting after them
in the right way.
Local Lewiston

and asks to have them credited on
the music course to be given by Com

a dance in the near future.

subs to the Review to be sent to the
Mullan Miners Union.
Last week we had received from
all sources $43.5O worth of Review
subscriptions. Since that time we
have received enough to make total
of $1,000 worth. If we can keep it
up at this rate we shall soon have
this job finished.
The Interstate Conference
which was to be held at Portland has
been called off because there has not
been enough interest manifested by
other states. Principally because of
the expense attached to it. We hope,
however, to be able to do something
along the line of promoting referen-
DUN measures simultaneously in the
states that have referendum laws.
Comrade Otto A. Schmidt
of Sites, member at large, writes
that he is studying a course in law.
Speaking of Law
why not subscribe for the Northwest
Worker and get the advantage of
legal advice free of charge.
