Here are 156 out of 1900 branch
es which report 1852 members on
their rolls. If the same ratio OF
membership held good for the re-
naming branches it would mean that
we have 5000 members on our rolls.
That is probably an exaggeration as
the average membership per branch
is lower than in the branches report
ing above. Suppose we take in place
of this method of computing the
membership the ratio between dues
payment and members on rolls. The
table shows that one-third of the
members of the party do not pay
their dues regularly. They are from
one to three months behind in their
dues payments. If this ratio holds
good for the whole party then, since
our dues payments show $4,000 mem
bers paying dues monthly, we have
over $1,000 members on our rolls.
Is it the best we can do to collect
dues from only 18,000sout Of $4,000
members monthly

dition exists. We must find ways and

U. S. WORKERS
ARE RICH BUT
DON'T KNOW IT
Nations Wealth Over
300 Billions

WASHINGTON, March 31.-The
American nation, reputed to be the
richest in the world, is worth $780,
803, 900, the Department Of Com.
merce reported today.
In ten years, between December
81, 1912. and December 81, 1922,
when the last survey was made, the
national wealth increased 1922 per
cent. On December 81, 1912, it was
placed at $189,299,664,000.
Per capita wealth increased from
$1,950 in 1912 to $2,91S in 1922, an
increase of 1915 per cent.
The huge increase in the money
value of the nations wealth, the de-
partment said, is due principally to
the rise in prices in recent years and
not entirely to a corresponding in
crease in the quantity Of wealth, as
economists figure it.
All classes of property, except
livestock, increased in value in the
ten years period, the department re-
ported.
The estimated value of taxed real
property and improvements increased
from 500, 100000 to $155,908,-
625,0 900 or 600 per cent.
Exempt real property, exclusive Of
national parks and monuments, rose
from $12,313,520, 900 to $2O,505,
$4,000 or $685. per cent.
Stocks of goods, vehicles, other
than motor, furniture and clothing
rose from $34,334,291, 900 to $751;
983, 607,00 or 1918 per cent.
Railroads and their equipment
rose from $16,148,532,000 to $19,-
$50, 300, 900, or 23.5 per cent.
Privately owned telephone and
transmission enterprises other than
railroads increased from $9,572,855,-

cent.
Manufacturing machinery, tools
and implements rose from $6,091, ;

WASHINGTON, April Quot
ing an editorial in the local Scripps
paper entitled "LaFollette's Fool

even dangerous to the LaFollette

"Some of LaFollette's friends"

over the premature third party

thruout the country.
"In the circumstances it would
be the easiest thing in the world for
the old guard to pack the gathering

to the accompaniment of a series
of red speeches.
"That is exactly what happened
at the Farner-Labor convention at
Chicago in 1920. At that time the
reactionaries feared LaFolleNte

PGn-AmericGn Labor
Probes Weeks Rule
OUer Porto Ric0nS
(By The Federated Press)

WASHINGTON, April In
quiry is being made by the Pan
American federation of Labor. as to
whether Secretary of War Weeks
deliberately intruded into the politi-
cal and industrial situation of Porto
Rico by sending a telegram to San
Juan declaring that he opposed
granting the island the right to
elect a governor because Of the
socialist party there and the posi-
biity of the election of a socialist
governor.
Santiago Iglesias, president Porto
Rican Federation of LABOR and lead
er of the socialist party in the
islands, returned to San Juan from
Washington March y to discover
that a tremendous public contro-
versy had arisen, due to a Joint
manifesto by Barcelo, leader Of the
reactionary unionist party, and Tous
Soto, head of the republican party,
urging coalition against the social
lists. This Joint manifesto, based in
part upon the alleged kilograms
from Weeks, called for an abandon
ment of the statehood idea which
the republicans had always upheld.
Iglesias charges that the men who
secured the cablegram from Secre-
tary Weeks made a catspaw of that
official and that the congressional
committees dealing with Porto Rico
would disregard his hostile recon-
mendations.

The Resolution.
A special general meeting of the
comrades of the t'First Russian and
American Agriculture Commune"
"The Third international" formerly
the "Echo") was held on the 23rd
day of January 1924, and after learn
ing by telegram and thru the speeches
made by Comrades Mileshko and
Kowatz of the unexpected and sudden
death of our great teacher and guide,
"Vladimer Ilyitch Ulianov" (Lenin)
who on the 21st day of January 1924,
at $50 p. M, in Hogie, near Moscow,
passed away. The commune mourns
together with the world proletariat
this heavy loss.
The commune pledges before his
fresh grave to continue his work with
renewed vigor and energy to break
the way towards Communism. On the
18th day Of July, 1928, Comrade
Lenin was honorably accepted as q
member of our commune, and altho
he is dead. his ideas live in the
hearts of all Communists and honest
workers.
Our commune resolves: To donate

his ideals and periodically one days
income each month for the help and

The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1924-04-02

There are many facts which go to
show that organizationally we are
still far below the standard Of a
Communist Party. Our members do
yet fully realize what Communist
dicipline is and the standard of work
which is expected from the members
of Communist Party.
Take the question of dues pay
ments: In a party fully impregnated
with a Communist spirit and disci-
pline the question Of regular pay
ment of dues by all members should
not require special organizational
action. Yet it seems that such is the
case in our party.
Payment of Dues.
We have counted the number Of
members in our party as 10000 dur
ing the past year. The actual dues
payments during the last quarter of
the year were about $4,000 per
month. The first indication that
these figures as to dues payments did
not actually show the membership of
the party came in the industrial reg
istration taken in November. The
reports from the branches showed
25 900 members on the rolls in place
Of $4,000 who were paying dues.
Since that time the National Office
has secured more facts about the sit
uation. A new system of monthly
reports from the branches to the Dis
trict Organizers was established.
The way in which the organization
has responded to the call for these
reports is itself a sad commentary on
the necessity for efficiency within
the party organizations. All party
branches have been sent report cards
on the first of each month. Out Of
the thirteen hundred party branches
which were sent report cards on
March /, reports from 156 branches
have reached the National Office. We
do not know how many branches ac-
tually sent in their cards to the dis
trict offices for it seems that even the
District Organizers cannot fill out a
simple report on the goth of the
month, eight of them having failed
to send in the tabulated statement Of
branches reporting which the Ma
tionai Office requires of them.
Reports Delinquent.
The reports which have been re-
ceived, however, throw some light
upon the question of membership and
dues payments. Here is a table show
ing the facts:

TO ALL CHICAGO ALDERMEN.
Sir: We are enclosing herewith
a statement Of brutakties COM
mitted by Chicago police and hired
sluggers, during the strike of the
international Ladies Garment
Workers, for your attention and
consideration. We believe that
such actions are a disgrace to the
city and should not be allowed to

We wish to call your attention
to the fact that during the strike
of the Amalgamated Clothing
Workers in 1915 in this city, an
aldermanic investigation into the
abuses of police authority conduct
ed thru public hearings, took place,
with the result that the city coun-
Gil adopted a resolution condemn
ing the police for considering the
strikers as their enemies, and Chief
Schleuter was compelled to remove
the special police from the strike
zone. During these pubic hearings,
which resulted in great service to
the public, the police administra-
tion admitted using spies within
the union ranks.
We are of the belief that the
present situation constitutes one
similar to that of the strike of
1915. We further believe that the
city council should conduct a real
investigation with view of taking
proper action against those who are
violating their oath Of Office, and
we urge you to use your Office for
this purpose.
Sincerely yours,

Production Gains
In Baku District

MOSCOW, April Lit is reported
that the output of oil in the Baku
fields during the first quarter of the
current working year (October-De-
cember, 1929 reaches 63,588,000
pools. Those returns compare ia
vorably with last years 51,244,000
pools and 41,853,000 pools in 1921,
for the same months. The improve
ment is partly due to the considerable
amount of technical work done, but
mainly to intense drilling in 1928.
