CONDUCTED ~ Tl4Ea&A SpuNG WORKERS LEAGUE
League Modified for
Passaic Relief Work

NEW YORK CITY, - The Passaic
strike at the present time is going
thru a crisis. After ten months of
fighting these workers are still out
and fighting hard. The wages of
these workers are very low. We must
remember that half of them were
young workers and therefore under
paid. These workers need help and
we must help them.
The strikers relief committee Is
running bazaar starting on Dec. IL,
at Passaic and will last for eight
days. The Young Workers League
that has played a very important role
during the strike must at the present
time also do it's share.
Our unit of the league that we built
in Passaic will have booth at this
bazaar. But most of them are strik-
ers and therefore they cannot do enuf
in raising articles for the bazaar. The
whole district must be modified for
this work during the strike that we
are doing our bit. For this every
unit in District Two must do the fol-
lowing:
l. Elect one in charge that will
get the credentials from the district
office and be responsible that each
member does his bit for collecting
things.
2. A house to house collection
should be arranged.
8. Your unit should try to go to
the bazaar, patronize 1t and also go
there for good time.
4. Arrangements must be made to
mobilize all the youth organizations
in your neighborhood for this work.
5. The comrade in charge should
come to the district office and see me
to get instructions on how to utilize
this for propaganda in your neighbor-
hood.

Atheists Assn. Against
Gypsy Smith Ads.

NEW YORK CITY = The follow
ing letter has been sent out by the
American Association for the Ad-
vancement of Atheism
Dec. 4, 1926.
Hon. Harry S. New,
Postmaster General of the U. S.,
Washington, d. G.
Dear Sir:
We desire to report what we be-
lieve is violation of the laws of the
post Office department.
The local post office in Huntsville,
S. c., is permitting religious adver-
tisements of meetings held by Gypsy
Smith, the evangelist, to be displayed
in the lobby. Our representative in
Huntsville, Mr.. ]. R. King, reports
that he has received no reply to his
letter calling attention to the viola
ton.
We respectfully request that you
instruct the local postmaster in
Huntsville, to comply with the law
If posting advertisements in post Of
fees does not constitute violation
of the law, we will gladly avail our
selves of the privilege.
Respectfully yours,
The American Association for the
Advancement of Atheism, Inc.
Freeman Hopwood.
In a statement issued today Mr..
Hopwood said that unless the post
office officials compelled the Harris
Vile post master to remove the reli-
gious posters he would issue orders
to branches Of the Atheists to post
atheistic advertisements in the same
manner.
