Workers Party at 52f York Ave-
nue., near Filth and Spring Garden
sts. Arrangements are made for a
large and interesting selection OF
books and periodicals In various
languages dealing with all phases

Ing class. Any book that looks to
be even slightly red ls being .imned-
lately eliminated. Every effort
must be made to make this Work.
ers' library a success.
The committee In charge Of the
library appeals to all party men,
bers and sympathlzers to contribute
books and pamphlets which they
can spare and which may be OF In
terest to the workers. The COM
mlttee also appeals for cash con-
trlbutlons to the library fund with
which II will be possible to build
this important institution Of the
working class.

But by far the greatest achieve

during this campaign is our Red Sun.
day, Oct 10, when each of our II
branches will hold special meeting
after which the distribution of $4,000
copies OF the Philadelphia edition OF
the DAILY WORKER will take place
This will be a double drive; securing
Of new readers for the DAILY
WORKER and advertising our Gitlow
mass meeting for Oct "a at the La
Dor Lyceum, 9Th and Brown streets.
And we also know how to enjoy our.
selves.
First Concert Saturday.
On Saturday, Oct IS, at the Eagles
Temple, at Broad and Spring Garden
streets, all our comrades and sympa-
thizers will be at the first concert and
ball of the season. Many new faces
and all old ones will be seen there en-
joying the first rate musical program
and dancing to the strains of dreamy
music.
Our speakers class will meet on
Sunday mornings at the party head
quarters at 521 York Ave (near 5th
and Spring Garden Sts) is proving to
be of great educational value and will
be the means of organizing fifteen
open air meetings for Saturday, Oct.
25. These meetings will be an
nounced in the DAILY WORKER
soon.
The party offices, located at 521
York Ave, are always buzzing with
activity. Busy comrades are always
going in and out, reports of activities
keep our phone ringing constantly.
Here our comrades meet and plan the
party work.
Our friends and sympathizers are
invited to visit us and get acquainted.

to their fellow workers Of the un-
speakable conditions under which
they are compelled to slave day in
and day out. The average price the
workers are receiving for their work
in this city now is 25 per cent lower
than the price of two years ago de-
spite the fact that the cost Of living
continues to rise. Yet not single
protest was registered during that
time on the part Of the workers.
Compete with Machines.
The cigarmakers who are doing So
called hand work are compelled to
compete with those doing machine
work and are able to hold their jobs
only in so far as they are able to
produce the goods as cheaply as do
the machines. 1t takes the labor OF
the entire family OF cigarmaker to
earn as much as single man usually
earns in any other industry.
The Tampa cigarmakers are on
strike now fighting for better condi-
lions. In New York the cigarmakers
are preparing to strike in order to
help their Tampa comrades. Yet the
conditions of the Tampa cigarmakers
were not as bad as those in our city.
The Philadelphia cigarmakers by stay
ing on the job, by filling the market
with cheap cigars are giving a poor
assistance to the Tampa comrades.
Workers Must Organize.
The time is now more than ripe for
the Philadelphia cigarmakers to begin
serious organization campaign.
There are at present more Jobs than
there are workers TO fill them. The
manufacturers can afford to pay the
same wages that prevail in other in

Distribute Many Platforms.
The party discipline in Philadelphia
plays serious and effective part in
the movement; it is an instrument
that is developing real Communist
organization.
Forty thousand party platforms
have been distributed during the last
eight weeks and 10000 more are ready
to go out.
Open air meetings have proven to
be real success and the number of
sympathizers we are recruiting is sur.
passing our expectations.
Many new speakers were developed
during the campaign among them a

ON CITY PETITION
Considers Relationship With
Water Attorney,

A Federal judge from another State
will be asked to pass upon the peti-
tion of the city of Indianapolis to
intervene in the water rate injunc.
ton case. This was decided by Judge
Albert 3. Anderson after hearing more
than an hour Of argument today.
The action was taken because Al.
bert Baker of the law firm Of Baker
s. Daniels. attorneys for the Indian.
apolis Water Company, is Judge An.
derson's brother-inIAw. after It had
developed that whether the city's pc.
tition was granted was largely dis.
cretionary with the court and was
not strictly a legal question.

seeks to prevent the public service
commission from interfering with es-
tablishment of higher rates.
