Barney Mass, District Organizer Of
Dist. s, Young Workers League, will
be the principal speakers at this meet
ing. All Party members are invited

semi-annual convention of the Chicago

Our Industrial Activity
From the well-attended and lively
meeting of the branch Industrial
organizers held recently, a decided
improvement can be noticed in the
various industrial groups. Amalga-
mated Clothing Workers group is
again rapidly recovering ground since
it has been cleared up on the policy of
the Party. Despite the lack of leader
ship in the metal trades union, our
Party has been able to make a very
good showing for the Machinists' Con-
vention. There are possibilities of re-
viving some of the groups which were
once functioning in the shop crafts.
In the Journeymen Tailors' elections,
however, our comrades have, not made
as good showing as they could have.
A special meeting, therefore, has been
called Of all comrades in the Finnish
branch, which constitute the majority
of our Party members in that union,
in an effort to remedy the situation.
Since the adoption Of the new Party
policy, our industrial and union activ-
ity must be increased to prevent sec-I
tartan and dual union tendencies from
cropping out.
A meeting of all Party members in
the Amalgamated will be held Friday,
July IS, at Workers Lyceum, to fur
Their discuss the readjustment in
prices in the clothing industry and
shop nuclei organization.
Political Activities In Chicago

a powerful political factor in the com
ing election and can make tremendous
Communist propaganda IL every com
rade will get on the job, and from the
enthusiastic City Central and mem
bcrship meetings we know that our
comrades are on the job and feel con.
fident that they will increase their
activities for the Communist cam.
