NEW YORK, Oct. 9.-The organic.
ed workers Of the city of New York
are manifesting great interest in the
Workers Party mayoralty campaign.
One after another Of the big left
wing unions of the city have Endorsed
the Workers Party candidates and
their fight for the united labor ticket
and are sending delegates to the big
conference OF organized labor to be
held Sunday Oct. IL, at 2 p. m, in
Manhattan Lyceum, &C East 4th ST.,
New York City.

ers' Protective Union; the Furgaers'
Joint Trade; Shoe Workers District
Council No. 2, and the militant locals
OF the International Ladies' Garment
Workers are among the latest to en-
dorae the Workers Party candidates
and to elect two delegates each to
the meeting Of Oct. IL.
Great Enthusiasm.
Another interesting development,
which shows the enthusiasm which is
being awakened among the workers
Of the city Of New York, for the
Workers Party campaign, IS the fact
that IN many shops the workers are
spontaneously forming Workers Party
campaign committees. During the
last few days, news has come IN from
all Of the important shoe factories Of
the Brownsville district that they
have formed committees. are col
ieeting funds and have already elect
ed their delegates to the conference
on Oct. IL. These shop organizations
represent a new feature IN Commun-
let campaigning and show that even
in the question OF political campaigns
for which the old social-democratic
form OF organization is supposed to
be peculiarly adapted. the shop nu-
eleus basis is more desirable for a
truly proIetarian party.
Campaign in Shops.
The unanimity with which the
Brownsville shops have organized
themselves TO back the Workers
Party municipal campaign is with
out doubt due 70 the fact that live
shop nuclei have been functioning
for some time in the Brownsville
factories. This demonstrates that
the reorganization Of the party will
bring the campaign into the shops.
One of the tasks OF the Oct. II
meeting is precisely this task OF
bringing this campaign Of the Work
ers Party into the shops. and after
Oct. IL, the New York industrial dis
tf4ct will witness a yeritahle fever
OF, organization within the shops, the
circulating of lists Of shop collec
tions, of formation OF shop campaign
committees. noon-hour meetings al
the gates of the big factories and
circulation of the Workers Party Ii
teratuFe among the workers st the
