When you make up your mind that
you want to make an investment 1t is
presumed that you have saved some
money.
The first investment for the man
who has saved scarcely anything is
a wife and the family soon comes
along. Then, under the stress or
rent, payable month after month, the
desire is created to own house and
stop paying rent.
This is an excellent investment, as
a rule, but requires determination,
patience and continual contact for
years with the grindstone while the
small monthly payments, plus inter
est, taxes and repairs, are wiping out
the obligation assumed.
Even in this investment 1t might be
wise for the layman to consult his
banker or the Better Business Blu
reau. Locations change greatly and
the site that is worth while when Sc
lected may be sadly deprecated with.
In a few years. The experienced
banker has met with this situation
and is influenced in his opinion by
probabilities that the young layman
might not even consider possibility.
Washington has witnessed the raZ-
ing of many valuable residences that
seemed wanton, but was made neces
sary by the changed condition OF
street and avenue from residence to
business thoroughfares. Then. too,
deterioration of neighborhoods has
caused losses.
The wide-awake business man may
save money for the home buyer-if
given the opportunity, perhaps
through knowledge of some impend
ing development.
Close acquaintance with the grind
stone may develop the saving habit

Many a man has found the lessons
of enforced economy and saving in

of independence and satisfaction en-
gendered.
1t is a question whether a general
discussion of intent to make an invest
ment with friends and neighbors is
not a foolish proposition.
One will be surprised at the num-
ber Of tips" that are freely rendered

a sure thing and another will know a

from time to time in securities in the
New York market or on some other
market, will seek the advice of the
banker and having obtained it, do as
they intended to when they asked it,
utterly diSregarding the advice.
Bankers are accustomed to handling

to Organize Against Exploitation

almost unbearable for the young
workers. Every lackey in the build
ing tries to impress upon the under
paid slaves that in his or her hand
lies their job and orders from them
must be obeyed; if not the conse-
quences are dismissals.
Militants Are Fired.
At times when it is suspected that
certain worker has said word to
another one about organizing he is
put out of the plant Immediately, with
out even questioning At the same
time he or she is blacklisted, and in
case the young worker applies for a
job at any of the other mail order
houses he is refused employment.
This brings out clearly the fact that
the bosses are well organized to ex-
plot, and the workers submit to their
demands, by being starved out, in
spite of the fact that in the business
world they are competitors. This
should cause every worker who is en-
ployed in these big mail order plants
and who is being exploited to the full
est extent, to organize into union
of mail order house employees and de-
mand better working conditions in the
way of better pay and working hours
and time and one-half for all over
time and also-to hell with so many
straw bosses who are themselves be-
ing exploited and who only act as
agents for the higher-ups.

Workers Communist Party
GREEK SECTION OF WORKERS PARTY
DRAWS PLANS FOR DAILY EMPROS;
LAUNCHES CAMPAIGN FOR $40, 900

A NEW dNi1y to our party, the Daily
4 EmproA is to come by the 1st of
May, If TIE campaign Of the Greek
section oA the Workers Party for
$4,000 meets with success by the end
of ~Ap4is.s
The Greek section held a national
conference on December rs, in which
plans were devised for the campaign,
which is to begin the LIST of January
and is to end the Both OF April.
The decision of the Greek section of
the party for the Daily Empros was
taken at meeting Of the plenum of
the Greek section held in September
last, and was approved after due con-
sideration of the possibilities for its
success by the centraT executive COM
mittee of the party.
Special organizers are to be sent
turnout the country to conduct
meetings and other affairs for the
benefit of the Daily Empros. The
campaign has already begun in Chi
cago, at banquet given to the dele
gates of the Greek fractions to the
conference of December 25 by the
Greek Workers Educational League
at the latter's headquarters on De-
cember &C. At this banquet pledges
amounting to S2,1S6, serving as the
first shot Of the campaign, were given.
The largest amount pledged was the
one promised by Comrade Nick NAL
tas, $500.
The Empros is the official organ Of
the party in the Greek language. It
is the only working class paper in the
United States in this language. 1t
came out first in 1918 as a monthly,
Voice of the Worker" and soon be-
came fortnightly and then weekly, in
small form. In 1923 its size was in
creased and its name changed to EN-
pros (Forward).
The Empros is the only Greek paper
in the United States that spreads the
message of Communism to the Greek
workers. 1t has been a mobilizer of
the Greek workers towards trade

union organization. 1t has to it's
credit the fact that it assisted enor-
mously the New York Joint Board of
the furriers union in organizing the
Greek fur workers and in winning the
big strike of that trade for the 40
hour week.
Support Also DAILY WORKER.
The Greek section conference unani-
mously adopted the following res
olution supporting The DAILY
WORKER:
THE special conference of the Greek
section Of the Workers (Commu-
nis) Party, held in Chicago on De-
cember 26, 1925, for the purpose of
devising ways and means of establish
ing a Daily Empros, sends it's heart
lest revolutionary greetings to our
English Communist organ, The DAILY
WORKER. The task of modifying
the Greek workers for their share in
the struggle against American capt.
talism, the task of building strong
and numerous bonds of solidarity be-
tween the Greek workers and all their
fellow-workers Of other nationalities,
these tasks require the maintenance,
besides the foreign language press, of
an English Communist daily in Amer
lea.
The campaign for the organization
of the unorganized, the struggle
against persecution Of the foreign
born workers, the movement for the
establishment of labor party as a
necessary political weapon against the
exploiters, all of which are of partic-
ular significance to the Greek work
ers, the successful completion of
these important tasks are dependent
upon the existence and growth of the
English daily newspaper, which is
fighting most militantly and coura-
geously for those demands.
We, therefore, call upon all the
Greek workers turnout the country to
give their wholehearted and energetic
support both to the Empros and to the
English daily organ of the workers,
