DEATH PENALTY
R|D|CULED BY
NOTED LAWYER
Warning to Others
Idea Exploded

WASHINGTON, Feb. 2 - Children
should be sent from school to public
hangings because we know that the
strongest impressions are made in
childhood and that II the time they
should learn of the results of evil liv-
ing" was the suggestion made by
Clarence barrow before the house ju-
dietary subcommittee in support OF a
bill to abolish the death penalty in the
District Of Columbia.
III execution of one man by the
state keeps some other man straight,
as advocates OF capital punishment
claim 1t does, then hangings should be
public" Darrow said. IF there is any
force in the argument that hanging is
Ia warning to prospective criminals
then people ought to know about that
hanging.
"Why not show hangings in the
movies and then everyone would be
good? II there is anything at all in
this theory, punishment should be CIV
en- the publicity that ingenuity can de-
vise."

WORKERS SCHOOL
TRAINS STUDENTS
TO WRITE N { W S

NEW YORK, Feb. 2.-The workers
correspondence class, which meets
every Monday night at the Workers
School, 1O8 E. IA St., is gradually turn
ing out a corps of trained worker
correspondents that are of great SER
vice to their unions, to the party and
to the working class newspapers.
Many problems have developed in
the course of their work but chief of
all was the problem of getting them
over their "stage fright" Many work
ers are scared by the word "corre-
spondents" or Journalism" They are
under the illusion that one must be
Learned" to be a worker correspond
ent.
The students are given special cur
rent events to write up. The stories
are brought in and criticized: first
by the class, then by the instructor.
The students are given a chance to
make suggestions for each story.
Where the assignment is a special one,
and the other students are not familiar
with the facts, they are asked to
criticize on the following basis:
1. Does this story answer every
question in your mind as reader Of
the DAILY WORKER?
2. Has the story been told as briefly
as possible?
3. Is the lead written in the most
effective way q. e. are the most inn
portsnt facts put in the first para
graph; is the opening sentence suffici-
emily strong to induce the reader to
go on?)
4. Is there anything obscure?
5. Are there mistakes in attitude?
Is the story free Of bombast, oratory,
editorial comments? Does il bring out,
by virtue Of the facts alone and the
proper arrangement Of the facts, the
Communist point Of view?
The following points are empha-
sized in the class:
/. Don't write secondhand stories
II you can avoid t. Go after informa-
ton yourself. Verify your facts.
2. Try to see the relation Of your
story TO the class-struggle; the party;
the DAILY WORKER, in whose col
umns It is intended to appear.
3. Don't write speeches, Lenin
memorial day editorials, ETC., but facts,
conditions, events.
4. Read and circulate the DAILY

them towards the goal. Between the
present period and the revolution lies
the necessity for systematic and hard
work to win over the masses, to con-
vince them that the party is the
leader Of the working class, to inspire
within them thru our activity conf
dence in the leadership of the Work
ers (Communist) Party.
Need Worker Correspondents.
The comrades in the shops, must
see to it that the doings of their shop
are regularly recorded in The DAILY
WORKER. Every shop where we
have single comrade must have a
Workers Correspondent. Not only
must the worker correspondent con-
tribute regularly to The DAILY
WORKER, but he must induce the
rank and file workers in the shops to
do so. Furthermore, groups of work
ers, shop councils and shop commit
tees must be encouraged to send in
news and articles to The DAILY
WORKER. In this manner our press
the workers. If our comrades take
themselves seriously to the task of
building our press, our worker CORE
spondents should increase by thous-
ands and not be limited to members
Of our party groups of workers-non-
party members will begin to look
upon The DAILY WORKER as their
paper and the party as their leader.
Out of the best elements among them
will come the new recruits for the
party. These recruits from the shops
and factories, will increase the base
of our party among the industrial pre-
letariat of the country and make out
of our party party with mass influ-
ence.
Nor should the street nuclei neglect
this phase of work. In each locality
there must be a comrade who will
send in news on the life and problems
of the masses in the particular locali-
ties. Questions of housing, sanitation,
school, health. crime, etc, are the con-
Germ of the Communists because they
are the problems of the masses. Every
street nucleus should select a com.
rade who will send in news regularly
to The DAILY WORKER. In every
shop, in every street nucleus there
must be a worker correspondent.
Distribution of The Daily Worker.
The best method of distribution OF
the Communist press is thru subscrip-
tions. The gathering of subscriptions
for The DAILY WORKER is the bust
ness not only Of the shop nucleus lit
erature agent but of every party mem
Der in every shop and street nucleus
The literature agents in charge Of this
work must see to it that every party
member participates in it, Every
party member must become a sub
scriber to The DAILY WORKER
Then the workers in the shop must be
canvassed systematically and regu
larly. Special attention must be giver
to find out what the worker thinks o.

Russian Professor
Invents Machine to
Replace Stenographers

LENINGRAD, U. S. S. r., Feb. q
Professor V. l. Kavalenkov of the
Electro-Technical Institute here has
devised machine which when per-
fected will do away with millions of
stenographers. The professor has
devised stereotype plates for every
tone in the human register and these
plates are electrically connected with
microphone. Each spoken syllable
releases the corresponding key to the
typewriter. The machine is still in it's
experimental state and in number OF
years the professor hopes to have in
perfect working order.
