Communist Meeting
CONTINUED from page u

and determination of the Commun-
lists cannot be averted by a mere or
der Of the chief OF police. A CON-
-ade soon volunteered the use Of his
rooms for q meeting and after a Iona
tramp thru the muddy streets OF
Scranton, the membership meeting
came to order.
New Determination.
This incident, which is one of the
many the miners in the anthracite
fields must face each day, and espe-
cially the Communists, only added
new determination and greater spirit
to the efforts OF these comrades who
are struggling against the most adj
verse conditions of any section of the
workers of America.
Comrades Marley and Baker spoke
at the meeting and laid plans for an
intensive organization campaign that
has been started by the party in the
anthracite region. After q short talk
by Comrade Sharfenberg, the sub-dis-
trict industrial organizer on the i'm
portanoe OF participating IN the indus
trial struggles Of the miners, each
branch elected temporary industrial
organizer and arrangements were
made for further work that will per-
manently establish our party as vi
tai factor in the everyday struggles of
the miners.
Without Interference.
AT the next meeting Of the city
central committee, the question of
starting a campaign for the freedom
OF assembly will be taken up to es-
tablish once and for all the right to
meet without police interference.
Special DAILY WORKER subscrip-
ton campaign has been started at
the meeting and no speeches were re.
quired to convince the comrades of
the vital need Of establishing a large
circulation Of the DAILY WORKER
as one Of the most effective means of
building the party and preventing the
recurrence Of the demonstration of
the coal trust democracy experienced
earlier in the evening. Five new sub
scriptions were secured at the meet
ing and each comrade armed himself
with strip Of special subscription
cards that will undoubtedly be filed
within few days.
The cold drizzling rain had NO eff
feet on the Workers Party members
in Wilkes Barre and the surrounding
mining towns last Sunday. A well-at-
tended and enthusiastic membership
meeting was held with Comrades r.
Baker and Joseph Marley present to
outline a plan Of action for the fu-
ture industrial work Of the parry.
Branch Industrial organizers were
elected and regular meetings arrang-
ed by the subdistrict Industrial organ
izer, Comrade Sharfenberg. The COM
rades in the anthracite region fully
understand the role our party should
play in the many struggles waged by
the miners and are prepared to parti-
cipate In them to the fullest extent.
Arrangements were made for a spe-
cial subscription drive for the DAILY
WORKER in connection with an I'm
portant campaign undertaken by the
party industrial department. The city
central secretary pointed out that a
large circulation of the DAILY
WORKER is of fundamental import
ance to the growth and influence Of
the party and is indispensable for
the success Of any campaign under
taken by the party. Six subscriptions
were sold at the meeting and most
OF the comrades have pledged to Sc.
cure new subscriptions.
