Liberty Hall, the rambling one

PATERSON, NJ. j., Aug. %.
True to its record of betrayal
of that part of the working
class that falls under its in
fluence, the notorious Jewish
Daily Forward, controlled by
the rabid BoIshevik-baiter, Abe
Cahan, endeavored, in a recent
article, to create division in the
ranks of the Paterson silk strik-
ers by raising the anti-Com-
munist issue.
It's failure to injure the strike
was as, humiliating as its effort
was contemplate.
This time its yellow appeal to liz.

S. p. Tried to Butt In.
In the long, tedious preparation for
the silk strike, during which period
the Communists of Paterson were
most active, the socialist party politi.

most of the remnants or that party in
Paterson are petty bourgeois manu-.

to the interests of the mill slaves.

Drive forward for the biggest
smash at capitalism yet re-
gistered by the Communist
forces in the United States!
This was the spirit of the en-
thusiastic gathering of the Chi
cago membership of the Work
ers Party addressed by Joseph
Manley, the party's campaign
manager, and Earl r. Browder,
member of the party's Central
Executive Committee.
M Three Big Party Tasks.
Three big important duties
for the moment were given
thorO and successful considera-
ton as follows:
First-The gathering Of thousands
Of signatures to put a complete
ticket on the ballot for the first
time in a national presidential cleo
ton.
seeond-The getting of thousands
Of subscriptions for the DAILY
WORKER, so that it can carry the
Communist message daily into
hitherto unreached fields.
Third-The winning Of tens Of
thousands Of new members for the
Workers Party, from among the
millions Of Americas working class.
Straw Votes in Favor.
The plan of taking straw votes
among the workers in the mines,
mills and factories. was also greeted
enthusiastically and will be pushed
theoretically. These straw votes are
the only votes that will indicate the
real trend of working class sentiment
in this campaign. They will be pub
lished regularly in the columns of the
DAILY WORKER. A blank for this
purpose appears on another page.
Ways and means for Immediately
mobilizing the whole membership of
the party for activity in these major
tasks were presented by Manley and
Browder, and also by Martin Abern,
chairman of the meeting, who led the
discussion on how to get signatures.
Browder took up the question of
DAILY WORKER circulation, the new
membership drive and straw votes in
the factories, while Manley reported
progress made in the political cam
paign to date.
All Must Be Active.
Abern stressed the importance Of
getting every member in the party
busy at once to bring in these sig
natures, If we are to place our can
didates on the ballot this election. He
gave report on the progress made
in, each district. He particularly
stressed the need of more activity
by the members of the Young Work

The secretaries Of all branches we're
instructed to call special meetings at
once to organize their committees for
this important task.
Browder Demands More Readers.
Browder stressed the need for
greater activity in Chicago to get

Whence Love Stuff Game.

Cytherea became tn eideal Of love
and beauty. She was given the pow
er to grant beauty and attractveness

couldn't understand herself. To
some she was fascinating; to others
repellent. So powerful were the
charms of this mythical maiden that
the Greeks. in quest of love and beau
ty, appropriated her for their own
and named her Aphrodite.
About the same time out of the
splendor that was Rome, another love
goddess came into being. Inspired
of womanly loveliness was created
in the minds and hearts of her coun-
trymen.
Not only is 1t interesting TO trace
the influence OF these goddesses
through their own NEUROLOGICAL ap-
peal to the ages as Important sym
bols in the development OF the white
races, but also to identify definitely
certain sources of inspiration OF our
foremost proponents OF the arts of
Cytherea-Aph phr odite-Venus mythology

.'Cytherea," written by Joseph Herge-
sheimer, picturized by George Fitz-
maurice under the Sponsorship of
Samuel Goldwyn and now released as
a First National photoplay attrac-
tion.
The story is a modernized applica-
tion of those qualities which the god
desses of love of the ancients We're
supposed to possess The analogy is
so strong that, once brought to mind
the spectator will find himself doubly
interested in the development of a
narrative that really had its incep-
tion almost thirty centuries ago-or
at a time when King Tut had only

to inspect the air-washing and icing

Hence not a man of them will be

that the Tivoli ought to be the cool
