THIS week of Feb. to 8 has been
4 designated by District of the
Workers Party as Lenin educational
week. Not in the sense that education
in Leninism is to be confined to this
week, for as a matter of fact, section
meetings have been held and are be-
ing held where a talk is given on
'Lenin and Leninism" followed by dis
cussion. But it is in connection with
the Workers School of Chicago.
The Lenin memorial meeting was
an inspiration to all elias sconscious
workers. Its significance and the light
it sheds on the possibilities Of future
party work has been covered in The
DAILY WORKER. The task of the
party was stated to be enrolment in
to its ranks of as many as possible of
the workers who were at that historic
meeting, who we're close sympathizers.
One of the best means to draw
these sympathizers closer to the party
and to an understanding of Leninism
is the Workers School Many Of those
who are not ready to join the party
would be ready to join one or more of
the classes. And since the classes are

FIRST TASKS OF OUR new UNITS

Aqitatinq While They seII.

The comrades should not merely go
in front of the factory gates and stand
there like stone statues. Instead they
should go up to the young workers
as they come out of the shop and talk
with them as they try to sell them a
paper. AS the young workers see the
comrades there regularly on the same
day each week, they will become more
friendly and it will be possible to
get information from them about the
shop, to get some young worker to
write in to our Life of the Young
Workers" section and when most sue
cessful to get names and connections
for anucleus.
Unless the comrades sell the Young
Worker at their factory regularly eve
ry week without fail more than half
of the effects of their work will be
wasted and they will only discredit the
League in the eyes of the young work
ers.
Selling the Young Worker at Unions.
When comrades are appointed to
sell the paper at the shop where the
concentration group is carrying on its
activities, those who do not volunteer
to go to the shop should be assigned
to certain unions where they will sell
the Young Worker at least one night
each wee. If those comrades who
cannot be present at the factory when
the workers leave, sell in the eve
ming at the union meetings, every
member of the concentration group
will be selling the paper at some
definite place. In this way every COM
rade will keep busy.
The sale of the Young Worker is
one of our most elementary forms
Of mass work and is one of the first
activities that must be started by
every League unit. Article No. will
deal with the educational Work of

sv JOHN HARVEY.

A FTER a League has organized on
a the correct basis, l. e. into shop
nuclei and concentration groups, the
first problem that the comrades have
to meet in order to make the reor-
ganization a success, is the problem of
making the new units function.
What are the first steps necessary
in thsi direction.
They are not hard ones! They are
the most elementary activities of the
League which must be started in the
new nuclei and concentration groups
before they will become real units of
the organization.
Regular Sale Of Young Worker
at Shops.
One of the things which should be
taken up at the first meeting of every
nucleus and concentration groups is
the question of selling the Young
Worker at the shop where the men,
bers of the nucleus are working or
where the concentration group is car
rying on it's activities. The sale of
the Young Worker" is one of the
easiest and at the same time one Of
our most important activities.
The members of the nucleus should
decide how many papers they will
take and each comrade should take
his share to sell or distribute to the
young workers in the shop.
The concentration group should ap-
point two or three comrades to go
one day week to the factory where
they are trying to organize a nucleus,
and sell the Young Worker there.
Those comrades who are unable to
get to the factory when the young
workers leave, should volunteer to go
to certain union meetings at least one
evening a week, and in this way every
member of the groups will have a
definite place to go at least once a
week and try to sell our paper.

ANTHRACITE MINERS HAVE
BEEN BATTLING BOSSES
FOR 5 MONTHS; HELP THEM

Z The Anthracite strike entered its
sixth month Feb. I. The miners
lines still remain solid with John L.
Lewis doing his best to find some
method of giving Into the operators
demands for five-year agreement,
compulsory arbitration, no wage in
crease and no checkoff, with someJ
hope Of getting the miners to ae-
cept il.
During the course Of the strike
the miners have been forced to the
conclusion that the policy Of the
progressive miners in the U. M. w.
was correct in demanding the with
drawaI of the maintenance men.
This Lewis refused to do in spite
of the demand for this step by the
general grievance committee, and
local unions.
The executive council Of the A. F.
of L. finally woke up to the fact that
the labor movement as a whole
must do something to aid the
miners in their struggle by issuing
call for support to the miners last
December. Outside of this the A.
z. OF L. officiaIdom has done moth
ing to aid the miners.
Negotiations are to continue be-
tween the union officiaIdom and the
operators. Continual compromises
on the question of arbitration have
been made bySLewis only to be met
with a storm of refusal by the
miners. The operators are stand
ing firm for their demands which
would lay the basis for the destruc-
ton of the union in the anthracite
region. Lewis is between the devil
and the deep blue sea-wanting to
give in to the demands of the oper-
ators and at the same time afraid
of the effect on his own position if
he comes out openly on the side of
the operators. The miners are fight
ing the fight Of the whole labor
movement and must be supported to
the limit by the working class.
