PARTY ACTIVITIES IN CHICAGO

The City Central Committee-Local
/ Chicago Workers Party dealt with
numerous political and industrial mat
tiers and gave special attention to the
Young Workers League and Junior
Section.
Reports of progress made in secur-
ing signatures to place Workers Par
ty candidates on the ballot IN the
State Of Illinois and Chicago were
made by various delegates. Results
of the Campaign activity are printed
daily in The DAILY WORKER.
Straw Vote To Be Taken.
A DAILY WORKER straw vote, the
only straw vote of the working class,
will be taken. Local Chicago Party
and League comrades will distribute
the ballots in the main factories and
shops in the city of Chicago on vari-
Gus days In this way good propagan-
da results can be obtained. Comrades
who are able to go out on various
days should send their names and
addresses to the local office where
they will be assigned factories to
cover.
Preparations are also being made
for distribution of 10000 DAILY
WORKER special Chicago edition to
advertise the Foster-Gitlow meeting
on October IL, at Ashland Auditorium.
Funds are beginning to come in
from the sale of the Campaign Fund
stamps. Lithuanian No. 5 branch has
sent in its share of $4850 and says
that more is coming. Branches should
speed up the sale of the stamps and
send the money in to the district Of
flee as soon as it comes in from the
members.
Street meetings are more successful
than ever in the history of Chicago.
Twenty-one successful meetings were
held last week and only three cases
of failure of speakers to appear. Chief
neglect lies in the branch commit
tees which fail to appear on time
with literature and other material.
Jack up your branches on this.
Industrial Registration Reports.
Industrial registration reports show
great possibilities for shop nuclei.
The industrial registration is being
handled swiftly by the branches.
However, the branches will have to
hurry up if they want to come in un.
der the wire by Sept. Is. The
branches which have already sent in
their registration are printed in an
other column Of the DAILY WORK
Err. Progress will be reported regu-
larly. The registration today shows
many comrades working in the same
plant or a sufficient number in many
cases to form shop nuclei. One shop
nucleus is sending in funds each week
to the election campaign fund.
T. U. e. L. groups functioning bet.
ter right along. The Local 27O group
of the Amalgamated Clothing Work

expected to do better work. The
T. U. e. L. group of the Amalgamated
is in good shape and healthy spirits
and is carrying on a strong fighting
policy in reference especially for the
Foster-LaFollette issue. The read.
justment question is coming up, as

shop delegate system. The situation
is ripe in the Amalgamated for the de-
