Somebody's Taking Your Measure

AS you toll from the dawn of the
morning
Until the set Of the sun,
Do you see that your work is always
we'll and carefully done?
1t may seem that no one is watching
That the details you we'll may
slight.
But somebody's taking your measure
Are you doing your work just right
You may toll in a noisy work room,
In the midst of busy throng:
knd your task seem all but endless,
And the hours weary and long.
But after your days work Is finished
Can you feel that you've played the
man?
Somebody's taking your measure
Are you doing the best you can?
Tho you're thrown with the crowd.
work above them,
Do more than your share; 1t will
pay.
Someone will see and remember the
man
Who does we'll the tasks Of each
day.
There's always a bigger Job waiting.
If you work with a willing grace
Somebody's taking your measure
Are you At for another place?
Selected.

ing food workers, the rest of the pa
per remaining the same. Several
thousand copies of this special edi-
ton were distributed by the Food
Workers Union among the restaurant
workers, thus greatly aiding their or
ganization drive and extending the
influence of the paper.
The Western Electric campaign
was an example of the possibilities
of creating interest in working class
news in almost any large factory. At
one time over three thousand copies
of The DAILY WORKER were sold
daily in front Of the Western Electric
gates, exposing the speed-up system
in the plant, increasing the sales of
the paper and giving the workers
more confidence in themselves and in
the paper.
These are a few of the history max
ing achievements of The DAILY
WORKER. Not only will they be
copied in other factories and other
cities, but other and greater achieve
ments lie ahead for the only working
class daily in America. In the COM
ing drive for new subscribers the
membership. must bear in mind the
tremendous importance of sending in
news, selling the paper and exploit
ing II to the utmost in the interests
of the workers. If this is done, the
subscription list will be doubled
within six months.
In closing these few suggestions
about the relation of the party men,
bership to The DAILY WORKER, 1
give the few long suffering readers
who have had the patience to wade
thru the series of articles, the usual
mechanical suggestions. The story
should be typed if at all possible.
Use double or triple space and write
only on one side of the paper, and as
O'Henry suggests, let each article
finish at the bottom of the last page.
The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1924-08-02

merely sending an advance notice in
the form of handful, and not only
saves much time, but makes a better
story
In addition, every labor event at
tended by party member should be
reported to the DAILY WORKER.
Every strike in which a party mem
Der takes part carries with it not
only the organizational duties but the
duty to give the left wing angle of
the story publicity in The DAILY
WORKER.
The DAILY WORKER has unlim-
tied fields of expansion which are as
yet unknown to many of the Party
members. The working class news
which deals with the every day
worker in the shop, or political and
industrial activity, relies for much of
its value on the distribution of the
paper carrying the story to the places
written up. For instance, at a Negro
meeting of the followers of Marcus
Garvey this week in Chicago, several
hundred copies were sold to the Ne
groes because of a front page article
giving a speech of Marcus Garvey.
The paper not only extends its adj
vertising, but also educated in this
case, the Negroes to the Workers
Party policy toward the Negro prob
lem.
1t is the duty of the membership
not only to send in the news stories,
but when they are sent in, bundles
of the paper containing the story
should be ordered from the business
Office and sold at the strike meeting
or demonstration written about.

Ladies Garment Workers Strike-in-

line Of policy for all parties aud whose
decisions are obligatory to all parties.
This alone is a token Of the forma-
There is, however, something more.
This move towards one International
party did not spring from the heads
of theoretitians. It was dictated by
the practice of the struggle. 1t is
not at all Indifferent to the German
party how the French comrades are
going to act. Quite the contrary. On
the activity of the French party de-
ponds much of the-success Of the Ger
man revolutionary movement, and
vice versa. To the French Commu-
mist party, the Strengthening or weak
ening of the Russian proletarian die
tato- ship is of paramount Importance.
To the Russian Communist party, the
line lursued by the Polish comrades is
a matter Of grave concern. And so
on, and so forth.
This is why every party is so keenly
interested in the affairs Of every other
party. This is why all problems Of
all parties become here only the
various facets of one great problem.
The possibility of such homogeneous
policy for all countries is only an ad-
ditional proof Of the decay of capt.
talism. Conditions are ripening
everywhere. The inheritors are
steeling their arms.

read our strike news but became
more closely acquainted with the
Workers Party.
New uses are constantly being
found to make The DAILY WORKER
more valuable to the working class.
In the Pullman carbuilders' strike
The DAILY WORKER was sold at
the gates of the plant and the i'm
ported steel workers, hearing The
DAILY WORKER newies call, "All
about the Pullman strike" learned
for the first time that there was a
strike in the Pullman plant. Thus
The DAILY WORKER stumbled on
an unwilling aid to the picketers.
The DAILY WORKER, in this strike,
served as rallying point for organ
ization work, members of the staff
speaking at the strike meeting and
aiding in the strike activities.
All this activity, increasing the
faith of the workers in the sincerity
and power Of the Workers Party, had
as it's foundation, the printing Of the
strike stories in The DAILY
WORKER. They formed the basis
of the strike activity Thus volun-
teer reporting assumes much greater
Importance than the mere printing of
"a news item, if properly backed up
with selling of the paper and organ
ization work.
In the strike of the Jewish Bakers
in Chicago big opportunity, of SINH
lar nature was missed because the
Workers Party members who were
striking did not call up the Worker
with news of the strike.
Another innovation Of The DAILY
WORKER was inaugurated in the
strike of the Greek Restaurant work
ers carried on by the Amalgamated
Food workers in Chicago. The union
bought a special strike edition of
The DAILY WORKER, the entire
front page being devoted to the strik-
The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1924-08-02


The DAILY WORKER, the first
Communist daily newspaper to- be
printed in the English language, has
made working class history during the
seven months of it's existence. The
news columns have created a favor
able reaction among the workers,
and an analysis of the different types
Of news stories printed in The
DAILY WORKER will be of benefit
to the volunteer reporter.
The DAILY WORKER is used not
only to educate the workers to heed
the message of Communism, it also
solidifies the Workers Party men,
bership and educates and informs
them of the Party tactics. This theo-
retical and tactical news is very i'm
portant to the movement The trans
lations from Russian and other for
eign magazines and newspapers in
form the membership of the latest
trend of world Communism. The
theses, programs and articles explain
ing American policy, officially printed
in The DAILY WORKER, create a
self reliant and well informed rank
and file.
More important to the volunteer
reporters, however, is the Workers
Party news of meetings, demonstra-
tions and entertainments which should
s be sent in from all over the country.
This Workers Party news keeps the
different sections of the party in
formed about what the other sections
are doing, and unifies the party.
Every Workers Party event of
even local importance should be sent
to The DAILY WORKER. It is not
much more trouble to write up the
event as a news story, instead of

struggles, retains in view and moves
towards the goal of the proletarian
seizure of power.
To consolidate every party on unIs
basis and for this kind of work is
BoIshevisation. The resolution on the
report of the E. G. defines it in the
following words: making the party
leadership, the organizations and the
Individual members active; "reaI
revolutionary initiative, energy and
striking power, capacity for shrewd
manouevring, conscious iron dis
cipIine Of true revolutionary fight
ing organizations" Conscious
ness of the task of the Communist
party and of the Communist Inter-
national as revolutionary leaders must
become part of the blood of every in
dividuaI member, so that out Of the
consciousness of Communist fight
ing community there spring the firm
loyalty which will cement the party
into a Bolshevist organization and the
international into victorious world
party.

wards World Communist Party.

forms. 1t puts the question of Com
munist cooperation with social-demo-
Gratis on the order or the day. Those
who think that Farmer-Labor gov
eminent may be peaceful transition
towards complete proletarian dictator
ship, will they not advocate our join
ing a social-democratic government
whenever opportunity offers itself, in
order that we may reach our goal in
this reformist way?
The Congress answered this ques-
ton with an emphatic Mo- A Labor
Farmer government is not meant as
form of cooperation with social
democracy within the framework of
the bourgeois state. A Labor-Farmer
government is meant as a product of
revolution, as revolutionary slogan,
as the popular name for the power
of the masses, which is to destroy
the apparatus Of the old democratic
state and take its place. A Labor
Farmer government is meant, not as
an adoption to bourgeois democracy,
but as call to overthrow the bour-
geois institutions, as an organization
for such overthrow. in short, to put
in Zinoviev's words, as a pseudonym
for proIetarian dictatorship. The
forms, the circumstances, the com.
position Of such government may
vary. but its fundamental principle
must remain unaltered: power to
break the bourgeois rule. 1t may even
be coalition with some social-demo.
cratic parties which, under pressure
from below, have lost their reformist
Weakness, but it must be coalition
for the seizure of power, for the real
ization of proletarian rule.
Thus the Congress, thru numberless
clashes, thru feverish wrangles, thru
sparkling explosions Of oratory, pas
sion, wit, sarcasm, thru a vast ex
change of worldwide experience &C
cumulated in actual struggles, pro
ceeds to define a revolutionary. a
Bolshevist policy which demands fiex.
Utility, alertness, shrewd and careful
strategy on the part of well or
ganized and well disciplined party

heavy barrage at the Congress. The
Congress by no means repudiates the
tactics of the united front, it is only
giving it clearly defined revolution
over the majority of the working
class, as an instrument for mobiliz-
ing the masses, as method of class
propaganda and as test for the
social-democracy to prove its anti
proIetarian and anti-revolutionary
nature. There can be million ways
of applying the united front tactics,
says the Congress; the practical steps
may differ according to the concrete
situation in every country. But if we
have in mind our task of mobilizing
the masses for the conquest of power,
if we use. every opportunity to
strengthen the working class in its
class struggle and to straighten it's
line in the direction of revolution,
then we may not be afraid of any
strategical maneuvers including those
which demand compromises. Enorm.
GUS applause followed Zinoviev's quo

while remaining loyal to its prin-
ciples, to it's class, to its revolution

What lent the question Of Labor
Farmer government particular timeli-
ness was not only the Saxon expert
ment but the present complexion of
the most powerful European states.
Social-democracy is becoming lead
ing factor in every country. The Brit.
ish labor government is directed by
social-democrats. The French govern
ment is practically under the in
fiuence of socialdemocrats. In Bel
GUM, the probability of social-demo
cratic participation in the cabinet is
near at hand. In most European coun
tries there is tendency on the part
of the bourgeoisie to share power
with the social-democrats. This is
meant to save the capitalist order
from collapse. but 1t may tempt some
unstable proletarian elements, Com
munists not excluded to cherish some
