Membership Drive Begins.
With the opening of schools it was
decided to start membership cam.
paign. The Vanguard group proposed
to start a campaign now for sum-
mer camp next summer for the mem.
bers of the Junior groups. 1t was
adopted.
Rose Plotkin, age 8, gave a talk on
publicity. In the discussion that fol-
lowed the children complained that
the Young Worker and the DAILY
WORKER do not pay enuf attention
to the Juniors. They demanded more
publicity from the party press. A re-
porter of the DAILY WORKER who
was present was permitted to defend
the paper. He called the attention
of the children to the Children's Col
umn in the paper and advised every
group to elect a publicity agent or
reporter, and to send in news to the
Children's Column. The suggestion
was adopted.
Elect officers.
After the constitution was adopted
the following members Of the City
Central Committee were elected:
b Rose Cohen, organizer, Thelma
Kahn, secretary, Molly Rubin, finan-
cial secretary, Albert Glatsky, educa'
tional director. Tillie Lurye, litera-
ture agent. Diana Echeles, social di'
rector, Phillip Bolden, sports director
Eva Stolar, publicity director.
The convention closed its session to
the strains of the Young Guards, the
song of the Juniors.

and Gage and Dawes Knew how big a
prize was involved in the possession
of the Globe Banks copper shares.
According to the Boston press of that
time, Standard Oil came in with
$4,000 900 and absorbed the copper
shares which we're thrown upon the
market in Boston. These shares gave
the Rockefellers a majority voting
control of the copper companies which
now are consolidated in the Ana
conda.
When Dawes retired from the comp.
trollership, he attempted to run for
the senate from Illinois, but was I'M
able to gather a following. In disgust
with politics, he organized the Central
Trust Company in Chicago, with
S4OO, 900 subscribed. Within few
days after he began business the older
banks in Chicago learned that the
Standard Oil Company of Indiana had
deposited $5,OOO,O00 with Dawes-and
there the money remained year after
year as a nest egg for the fortune
which the bank accumulated for its
promoter.
Daniel Wing, whom Dawes sent to
Boston to protect" the public by clos
ing the Globe Bank, and who helped
to put the copper stocks in the way
of Standard Oil, became president OF
the First National Bank in Boston.

OF course it is not to be assumed
that it was solely because Of the Bos-

hind closed doors. The meeting was
apparently called by Nelson and prom
inent LaFollette hackers were pres
ent.
AS soon as the meeting was called
to order, Nelson proceeded to dress
down the entire gathering centering
his attack on RUDE Wood, state c. P

secretary, saying they were too rep
resentative of labor and were too radi-
cal. He then made a scathing attack

much dominated by labor and rank
and file farmers. He laid down the
law in ten propositions.
The four most important ones are
as follows:

hands Of Wood and Brant and given
over to some prominent business man

2. All presidential electors be with

8. That the LaFollette electors do
not go on the ballot under the name of
Liberal Party which was being used
as it gave the LaFollette-Wheeler
ticket the aspect of third party and
this was especially to be avoided.
4. That all connections between the
so-called Liberal Party state platform
and the LaFollette ticket be severed.
RUDE Wood Must Go.
The committee members were
dumbfounded by this attack on Wood.
Wood has a large influence among the
farmers. He also has a long record
of service in the trade union move
ment. All these were pointed out to
Nelson, but he would have none OF 1t
and only TRADED the more.
Rube Wood defended himself well.
He said he had no apologies to make
because he represented labor.
The committee agreed to all of Mel
sons demands except the one to re-
move Wood and Brant and while they
did not openly refuse to accede to this
demand, the tendency was to ignore
it entirely. The meeting ended any
thing but tremendously.
Labor Being DlsIlIusioned.
The members of the c. P. P. A. Of
Missouri, thinking that they were in

set to work, raised money, sent out
10000 circulars to the farmers and
workers and launched what they con
