which they are eligible.
Comrades will visit all party
branches and take up each individual
one by one on this matter. The regis
tration is ready for such work and the
information will be utilized in an en-
deavor to make every member Of the
Workers Party an active member of
labor union. Branches shall cooperate
fully when representatives from the
T. U. E. L. committee visit the branch.
In the metal trades, Comrade Over
gard Of this committee, will speed
the work of organization in this indus
try The metal trades comrades, espe-
cially in the machinists, have been
more active and have been circulating
the metal trades bulletin to the ex-
tent of 1000 copies. A number of sue
cesses have been had in the local and
district elections and the machinist
comrades are making good campaign
in the elections. Also the resolutions
on labor defense and the Michigan
cases are being taken up thru the
Machinists District Council and thru
the local unions.
The Fight in Local 181
The carpenters are making use Of
the expulsion of the FIVE members of
Local 1S1 for agitation. Leaflets and a
pamphlet on the carpenters situation
dealing with the local and national
situation will be issued. A squad of
girls is needed to help distribute the
leaflets. Also the work of organizing
the building laborers is being taken
up by the carpenters group and a
leaflet will likely be issued very short
ly.
In the recent elections in the Bar
bers, the progressive slate received
approximately $50 votes and the reac-
tionaries 1900 which is an improve
ment over the previous election.
Members Disciplined
A special committee is developing a
program of action and organization
for the entire needle trades group.
Now that the matter OF the suspen-
ded members in the Amalgamation
Clothing Workers for signing the state
ment injurious to the left wing has
been settled by action of the central
executive committee, the needle
trades work will go on in a more or
ganized and determined fashion in an
effort further to build the left wing.
This program will be submitted to
the needle trades group in a few
days.
Comrade Pellegrino has been in
structed to get on the job organizing
the Italians in the needle trades. Spe-
cial comrades also will be selected to
carry on this work among the Poles
and Czecho-Slovaks in an endeavor
to build up a strong T. U. E. L.
group.
Comrade Aronberg was appointed
to develop the shop nuclei work

Unrest is becoming more noticeable
among the 500 men. The men struck
against conditions they regarded as
little better than peonage-m miserable
wages, filthy blankets in squalid bunl
houses, poor food, a dangerous job on
which men were injured daily because
the company failed to take even the
most meager precautions to safeguard
them. Rocks hurting down the hill

knocked three workmen unconscious
within an hour; the men had been
pleading for days to have the sluice
protected by higher sideboards
When they struck, the men main

Sheriff Conn carted the men out of

What is its true size9

objects around.
The proper position for a bookcase is across the room

Truth is relative.
The thing to do is look with one normal vision and

Commerce on the
Yangtze

Naval critics have apparently
overlooked the fact that the
United States navy has been
slipping below the five-five-three
ratio on the Yangtze river in
China. American business men
in the Oriental republic COM
plain that the American gunboats
in Chinese waters. most Of which
are ancient vessels, are either OF
such deep draught that they go
aground when the YangtZe Is low
or of such low power that they
cannot make Roadway against
the current when the river IS
high. Consequently, the Ameri-
cans must rely very largely upon
British gunboats for protection.
Piracy on the Yangtze appears
to be an ancient avocation, and
it has become a popular pursuit
in the present condition of at
fairs.
Recognizing this condition, the
foreign commerce advisory com
mittee of the Chamber of Com
merce of the United States has
urged the immediate appropria.
ton OF funds for the building OF
gunboats for the Yangtzes which
have already been authorized by
Congress.
