PARTY ACTIVITIES
Philadelphia Activities

The city central committee Of Phila.
delphia has outlined a campaign OF
activities that will not close until the
two thousand workers who cheered
the Communist speakers at the great
Lenin meeting are brought into the
Workers Party.
The first step towards this goal Is
the campaign to increase the circula'
ton of the DAILY WORKER and in
connection with that, the first annual
DAILY WORKER ball which will be
held Friday February 81, at the New
Traymore Hall. Daily Worker agents
from II branches are busy making
preparations, distributing tickets and
securing advts. for the DAILY WORK
Err ball souvenier program. The en-
thusiasm and activity of our comrades
assures us that the ball will be the
greatest event Of the year and an
additional milestone indicating the
growth of the influence Of the party
In Philadelphia The first meeting OF
the Labor Defense Council has laid
down plans for an intensive campaign
against the criminal syndicalist law
and the raising ola defense fund to
help the legal battles to free our com.
rades involved in the Michigan cases
March 21st, the anniversary Of the
Paris Commune and the Hungarian
Soviet republic has been set as the
date for the great defense bazaar
Collection lists for the articles for
the bazaar are out and the party Is
being modified to carry out this task
with the same spirit and results that
we attained for the Lenin memorial
meeting.
Is new members were taken into
the party during the month Of Jan
uary and several new branches are
being formed.
The open forum conducted by the
city central committee every Sunday
eveneng at the Grand Fraternity Hall
1928 Arch St., is growing in size and
influence. It is the only center where
the every day problems and the burn
ing issues Of the workers are present
ed and discussed from the Communist
point of view.
The Carlson series of lectures or
the elements Of Communism are at
tracing wide attention and the grow
ing attendance Of party members il
another healthy sign displayed by tbs
party in this city.
The industrial department has
shown great Improvement during the
last few months and is steadily bring
ing the party into closer contact will
labor movement. The trade unioI
class which meets every Sunda,
morning at II in the party head
quarters discusses the many tactica
problems that confront our comrades
in the unions. First steps have beer
taken to reorganize the party on the
shop nuclei basis. The industrial de
partment has given special attention
to this matter and some results will
soon be forthcoming.
The close cooperation of the Younl
Workers League in all the above worl
has aided greatly to the influence anC
growth Of the party.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 2.-Sen. Tom

campaign led to the rejection by the
senate of the denomination Of w. G.P.

vent Atty Gen. Stone from mounting

Replying to what he termed "thii

Hefiin told the senate that his opposi

and barbarous law, byswhich Col. Own

worth Of property without getting even
a chance to be heard in court.
The senior ]. p. Morgan was Own

when suit was brought in the Della

Stones firm had invoked made it ne
cessary for Ownbey to put up bonJ

which to secure such bond. Stone
argued before the supreme court tina
he must put up bond or lose the prop

No Objection to Prosecuting Worker

Who Is Crazy?

"Our greatest needs now are shoes and stock
ings for children from to - years old and
money to Keep some of the people here in COAL"
The emphasis is ours in this extract from let
ter from comrade who has been active in collect
ing relief for unemployed coal miners families in
southern Illinois. No more enlightening comment
on the workings Of the capitalist system could be
had. The men who dig the coal are unable to OBJ
tain enough of it to keep themselves and their
families warm. They must buy the coal at Sc per
ton from the coal capitalists who have no use for
their labor except when huge profits can be made.
The coal lies at the pit mouth-hundreds of tons
of it-that the labor of the miners brought to the
surface. They dug the coal, but it "belongs" to
somebody else Therefore they must freeze if chart
ty is not forthcoming.
The whole thing sounds like something from
Alice in Wonderland, but in one form or another
this is an everyday event under capitalism.
1t is not the Communists who strive to wipe out
this system that crazy. 1t is those who suffer
from it, but still support it. that are insane.

WASHINGTON, Feb. a.
Formal expulsion of the LaFoI-
lette republicans from the re-
publican party IN the house is
to be attempted. The first blow
was struck by William Wood oil
Indiana, chairman of the G. o,
P. caucus, when he issued, on
Jan. 90, a call for a party eau

from the list of Invitations the

1--WE Are Good Republicans" says
FreaF.
To this declaration Of war Rep.
Frear Of Wisconsin replied with a
speech in which he reviewed the his
tory Of the party, showing that Lin
coin opposed the Mexican war, and
Roosevelt bolted the party when he
felt that 1t had come under the con
troll of corrupt special interests. but
that Roosevelt was welcomed back
and died good republican.
He eulogized Rep. Cooper Of Wis.
consin, who has longer record Of ser.
vice than any other republican in the
house. He declared that the Wis.
consin republicans are good republi
cans, and that nobody can read them
out Of their party.
sour Leader, LaFoIlette," Says Berger
To these defiant remarks Rep. Vic
tor Berger, socialist. interposed 8
number of questions, calling attention
to the fact that 'our leader, Senator
LaFollette," had declared that the
new political movement Of 1924 must
go forward; and limiting that Freal
was now trying to run away from the
battle.
Frear replied that he was reelected

in a special speech to the house at thu

Nick Longworth, ;, g. o. P. flool
leader, joined in the derisive question
ing of Frear on the regularity of hi
reDublicanism. He had announced
in November that the LaFollette ele

Beats All Others in
Originality and Beauty

Admirers of Anna Pavlowa's dane

tending one Of her performances, for
she always embodies in her program
a few of the favorite pieces that have
brought her the tribute she so fully
deserves.
The audience who saw her dance
Saturday night at the Auditorium
again brought down the house with
applause in appreciation of her rendi-
ton of "The Swan" which she so
truly portrays. She is none the less
wonderful and bewitching in the Syri-
an dance in which she is accompanied
by Laurant Novikoff.
This program included her original
pantomine dancing program of the
Spanish comedy. Don Quixote, in two
acts and prologue.
