The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1925-12-05

this was not labor EXCHANGE in the
usual sense of the word. Not having
any meeting clubs or buildings the
workers would select streets or parks
were people usually prominade, in
order to see each other, to meet
friends and to attend to party bust
ness that could be attended in such
a manner. The different parties usu-
ally had their different "birjas" that
we're we'll known to everybody includ-
ing the police. But the police was
helpless, because thousands of other
people were promenading in the same
places. From time to time raids would
be conducted on the "birjas" but that
would only create trouble for the
police. Many strangers would be pick
ed up against whom nothing could be
proven, Indignation would be created
among the Indifferent, and sometimes
real fights with the police would re-
suit. If any known comrade was
taken, the B. o. would rush to -his
home, make a general cleanup taking
out every discriminating book, letter.
or piece of illegal literature. BY the
time the police would arrive, every
thing had been cleaned out and the
police would gain nothing.
The B. o. also had many other more
difficult tasks, as for instance, the
organizing of street demonstrations,
mass meetings, the distribution Of
literature. At the same time it was
training, theoretically, of course, how
The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1925-12-05

to build barricades, how to use gun,
etc. Once in a while small groups of
the B. o. would go out of town into
the hills for target practice, and then
they would discover that they don't
know much about gun, but they did
the best under the circumstances.
A FTER the pogrom it was very diff
"A ficult to obtain rooms for meet
ings. The Jews were afraid that the
christian neighbors would betray
them, and the christians were afraid
that the Jews would betray them.
Especially difficult became the situa.
ton after a meeting was attacked by
a group of hooligans. The meeting
was called for the purpose of organ
izing the seamstresses. The party
was funetioning organizing workers
into underground unions for the eco
nomic as well as political battles. On
the way home the girls were attacked
-bx a group of hooligans and some of
them Badly beaten up.
This forced the B. o. to be more
careful and to find safer places for
meetings.
One cold winter night a, very impor-
tant meeting was arranged and when
the comrades were brought to the
meeting place, they found themselves
in Jewish synagogue. The watch
man was somewhat sympathetic and
being poor agreed for certain con-
sideration to allow us to meet there.

The Red Army a School for Citizens

and 44,257 semi-literates,-a total of
73,204.
Particular attention should be drawn
to the cultural work conducted by our
territorial units. Both during the pre-
liminary training in the work of the
territorial units themselves, not only
the newcomers, but the entire male
population of our villages in general
take part. The following example will
give an idea of this work. In the
Vologda and Cheripovitz provinces
$3.50 of the members of military study
circles are those who have already I'M
dergone military training while the
rest are ordinary peasants. In the
Trotsk county of the Pskov. province,
out of APO people attending the milit-
airy study circles, $40 are ex-red army
men while the rest have not yet I'M
rdergone military training. We have
similar state Of affairs in other ter
ritorial divisions.
A Different Kind Of Commander.
The commanding and political STATS
of our units are beginning to enjoy
ever greater respect and recognition
on the part of the peasants. Here is
the opinion of peasant from the Vo-
ronezh province concerning our com
manders: This is really our army
In the old days, we could not even
go near the officers, but now the com
manders are our best comrades and
counsellors," When our command
ers leave the villages after carrying
on work there among the new re-
cruits, there are scores and hundreds
Of applications from lower Soviet or
carnations, and from the peasant pop
ulation, requesting that they be al
lowed to remain behind In the coun
