New English Branch
In Philadelphia Shows
Very Promising Signs

The Kensington English branch is
now definitely formed and is getting
right down to work. Regular meet
ings will be held at southwest corner
Frankford Ave. and Chesterfield ST
second floor This is right in the heart
o. Kensington ami It looks as IL it is
soing to become real revolutionary
center.
This section of the town was once
a stronghold of the rebel elements
within the socialist party and was
always thorn in the side Of the
Hilquit-Berger dynasty. During the
time of the split between the right
wing that remained in the S. p, and
the left wing which formed the base
for the Communist movement, many
of them drifted apart mostly drop
ping out altogether because their
revolutionary thought" was mostly
dissatisfaction with the reformism
that dominated the S. P. But now
that the Communist movement has
been definitely crystallized into the
Workers (Communist) Party and is
recognized as the only revolutionary
leader there is no doubt but that
most of them will take their place in
its ranks and help blast the road to
the overthrow Of capitalism.
Meetings will take place regularly
the second and fourth Thursday OF
each month. Entrance is on Frank
ford Ave.

The workers now have a new char
ter, program OF demands for which
they will fight. These demands are
unacceptable for the conservatives.
Naturalization Of the railways, mines
and banks, 44-hour week, a legal
minimum wage-all this will not be
granted by any conservative govern
ment, unless they are thoroly compell-
ed to It. The carrying out OF even
these inadequate and incomplete de-
mands means the death of English
capitalism. A fight real fight over
them is a fight for life and death.
This fight stands on the order OF
the day. This does not mean that
English capitalism will be settled" to-
morrow or the day after. But this
means that in England the struggle
for the ending of capitalism has be-
gun And this means q great deal.
