Young workers-the one 22 years OF
age, the other, 10. Comrade Dryman
has taken an active part in the labor
movement since 1922. To the young
workers of Reval Comrade Dryman
is known as an energetic organizer
and agitator, who fought actively in
the front line at the beginning OF
1924, after the first attack on the
labor movement.
The political police was long ago in
search for a convenient opportunity
to annihilate him and thus to deprive
the young workers OF one OF their
active members. OF course, there
were found ready made witnesses"
who could prove. that the arrested
really were participants in the revolt
in spite of their living peacefully and
legally in Reval during almost one
year.

Workers Communist Party
Why Party Membership Must Be Increased

increasing Of our membership l will
described a few fields of work and
what forces we have.
Our Main Task in the Trade Unions,
Our main task is in the trade
unions. We have gained considerable
influence in some of the unions. Yet
our results are very insignificant,
compared with what We must gain.
This is due to the fact that in many
unions we have very few members
and in the others we have none. How
can we expect to make further ad-
vances in the unions if we have no
forces working in there and directing
our work and our policies?
Work Among the Poor Farmers. :
Our work amongst the poorer farm
ers is recognized by our party as one
of the most important ones. And
great agricultural masses are rebel
ing against the robbers of big capital
and their governmental order. Yet
we have not been able to crystalline
this rebellious movement of the agri-
cultural masses to a definite factor
because we have so many things to do
and we have had such limited forces
that it Is hard to give enough assist
ance to work in this important field.
Work amongst the farmers has been
left for few individual comrades,
who are wholly unable to carry on

Ious burden of work

this tremendous burden of work
alone.
Among ProIetarian Women.
Special work amongst the working
class women is of vital necessity, if
we are ever going to gain influence
in this great portion Of the proleta-
riat. The Comintern has, more than
once, emphasized that our party must
make beginnings in this field. And
yet what have we? We have, l think,
some women's committees-on paper.
But practically nothing else. Nobody
is to be blamed, of course, and yet
the field is very ripe. In fact, many
localities have began organization by
themselves.
In the Cooperative Field.
Work in the cooperative field has
been growing very extensively in the
recent years, especially amongst some
of our language sections, but the
party itself has not been a factor in
this work until in a limited way just
recently. And yet this field cannot
be neglected if our party is ever going
to become a mass party, directing &C
tivities and struggles of workers in
every field.
The same thing holds true relatively
in every other phase of activity. We
have no forces, we have no trained
functionaries. And this, because our

The Membership Campaign.
Now the central executive commit
tee has called upon party membership
to launch a campaign for increasing
our forces, of recruiting new members
for our party. The central executive
committee has further instructed that
from now on all our campaigns are to
be connected with efforts to increase
membership.
This central executive committee
call for membership campaign must
be taken seriously by every party func-
tionary and by every party member.
And we must remember that merely
issuing manifestos will not get us
anywhere. So if you really wish that
our party SHOULD grow, let us start to
work towards that end. Let us all
get busy now and increase our mem
bership at least so per cent in this
campaign.
And there are great possibilities for
success. There are thousands of
workers who are greatly sympathetic
to Communism. The only need is to
make them understand the role of
the Communist Party in the working
class struggles, and how necessary it
is that every class-conscious worker
become a member to that party.
So let us not be afraid of new ele-
ments. We need them and they give
us new blood and life. They make us
stronger and SO much more powerful
and influential in the American labor
movement, and in directing the strug-
giles of the American working class
and poor farmers against the powerful
imperialistic capitalism of this coun.

Moscow Youth Gathers
British Strike Funds

MOSCOW, June 27-(By Mail)-
The collection arranged by the Young
Communist League, which lasted two
days and which was on behalf of the
British miners, went of with great
success. The collection was made by
selling badges representing a miners
pick. over 10000 young Communists
are acting as collectors in Moscow
and the neighborhood. Money is also
collected by lists.
The exact result of the two days
collections is not yet known, but
judging by the excellent course of the
campaign, the total will not be less
than 10000 roubles. Today peoples
fairs will take place in the Moscow
suburbs, the total proceeds are to go
to the strike funds of the British min
ers. The collections of the "Pravda"
have now reached $4,000 roubles.

and 100 junior units, composed of
high school students, which are mill

American workers.
Need Of United Action.
"The situation demands that labor
unite in an effort to break down the
solid domination of the capitalist pow
ers and put up fight for the support
of the demands of labor. A step in
this direction can be taken by put
ting up labor ticket against the cap
italist tickets in the elections of 1925.
and thus push forward again the
movement for a labor party, which
was temporarily sidetracked by the
LaFollette movement.
I'VE propose to your convention
that they join with the Workers (Com-
munist) Party in putting up a labor
ticket in the coming elections, with z
program for state and congressional
elections along the following lines:
For Right to Strike.
Il. Against all legislation limiting
the right of the workers to strike !;
against all legislation permitting the
use of injunctions in strikes.
80. Against the use of police or
soldiers against striking workers.
SO. Against alien persecution and
denial of free speech and free assem-
blage to workers; against anti-sedi-
ton laws and similar suppressive
measures.
a. For a state housing program
which will relieve the congestion of
housing and lower rents for workers.
IS. To place water power and sim
liar public utilities in the hands of
the state as a public utility. The ad.
ministration Of these utilities to be in
the hands of the workers.
Against Military Training.
IS. Against military training in the
schools.
az. For adequate salaries for
teachers and public employees.
IS. For a program of labor meas.
ures giving adequate protection to
the workers, thru workmen's compen.
sation, unemployment insurance, etc.
80. For immediate naturalization
of the mines and establishment of the
six-hour day, with guaranteed pay for
$50 days yearly for the miners and
completely unionization of the mining
industry.
Farmer Relief.
40. Reduction of the tariff on ar.
ticles consumed by workers and farm.
ers. Immediate increase of taxes on
large incomes and excess profits.
IL. Immediate naturalization OF
grain elevators, railroads and all
other market facilities used by the
farmers.
"12. For recognition Of Soviet
Russia.
Primary Demands.
THESE demands by no means ex
haust the issues of the coming cam
palgn, but such program will help "a
unite labor for a campaign which will
raise the fighting morale among the
workers and benefit organized labor
in many directions. We believe that
the present moment affords the best
possibilities for helping to crystalline

rebound to the good OF the labor

to confer with a similar committee OF

gram upon which such a united front

up IN the coming campaign.
