Editorial Comment
Might Try Goats

AS result OF the experiment, OF
raising goats for milk In Nebraska
the Maine farmers have been advised
to stock their farms with goats. So
long as the farmers of Maine persist
in their refusal to make the most of
their opportunities for raising cattle
sheep and swine. they might as well
try their hand at raising goats. The
last experiment in this direction in
Maine was with Angora goats in
whose fleece there was supposed to
be millions. Perhaps there's more
profit In the milk.

Meetings
BY JACK sTAcHEL.

THE bolshevization of the party

many problems that the party has
heretofore neglected, minimized, or
underestimated. Such problems are
Tor instance the correct approach to-
wards the workers on the land, the
poor farmers, work among women,
feminist education, and the relation

expressed by its attitude towards
the Young Workers (Communist)

mittee in the short space Of time that
It has been in power has already brot
about a transformation of the atti-
.ude of the leading comrades to these
problems. To sum up: the present c.
F. C. has set about to seriously solve
he problem of the party to transform
he American section of the Commun-
st International in a Bolshevik party.
The central executive committee is
also doing everything possible to edu-
cate the broad masses Of the party
membership to give them the Lenin-
st approach and attitude to the prob
lens of the party.
In the relation of the party to the
Young Workers (Communist) League

Of attention had been paid by the
party leaders to the Young Workers

his interest was connected with the
interests of the different leaders in the
faction fight. Where the interest was
not wholly of a factional nature the
party comrades looked upon the
Young Workers (CommunisD League
as the office boy reserve army of the
party
This attitude OF the party and its
leading comrades towards the league
was remnant of the social-democrat-

MASS METHODS

MASS MEETING
Chicago Coliseum to Be
Packed Jan. "a

Some fifty thousand leaflets in
many languages, including Chinese,
are being distributed to advertise the
chicago-Lenin memorial meeting at
the Coliseum on Sunday, January "a.
This, the committee advises, is only
the first of the flood.
Advertising is being placed in some
twenty different language and race
papers.

paign of publicity will be whole par
AIDES of automobiles decorated with
signs and frightened with flares of

the city Charles Erickson in charge
of this part of the campaign already
has gathered a number Of red and
sympathetic automobile owners and
still pleads with all workers who own
machines of any kind from a lowly
Ford to an aristocratic Rolls-Royce to
call Seeley 1868 or write to 19 South
Lincoln street, allowing the use of
their car at least for the day of the
meeting.
Thousands of posters in colors are
already Frightening the windows and
decorating the posts in all sections Of
the city. In addition special squad
of workers are now placing these in
thousands of other places to bring
them to the attention of Chicago
workers.
Many sympathetic workers clubs,
among them the Lettish Workers
Club and different units of the Work

units of the Workers Party, arrang-
ing systematic distribution of leaf
lets and The DAILY WORKER from

TT was a fine September morning in
4 the year 1924. People trooped
into the city from all parts to work.
Streams of people marched from the
central station and were continuously
being swallowed up in the giant build
ings of the various commercial houses.
1t was a little calmer on the Besen-
binderhaf; but also here people were
moving in the direction of the Trade
Union House, and the building of the
German Cooperative Wholesale So
ciety. The majority were going here
for the Cooperative Wholesale Socie-
ty employs 400 men and women, and
it was shortly before eight, the time
when they should be at work. At
first the employees disappeared one
by one thru the gates. and then in
ever-increasing numbers. A young
man stood there and distributed leaf
let's. That was nothing new. Every
body took them from him with pleas
ure, and fastened to the dressing
room so as not to come too late.
But what was it all about? The
leaflet which they had received was
not in the least like the usual leaf
let's! In heavy print, on the top they
read:
DER G. Z. G. Prolet No. 1"
(The meaning of which is: "The
Cooperative Wholesale Society, Pro-
letarian No. ID
They we're all astonished and shook
their heads. What was the meaning
of all this? To judge from the text,
there must be Communists behind it.
The Communists in the establishment
knew nothing about IL.
"Oh that thing won't last. IL Will
only appear once and then disappear"
With phrases like these, they Gained
themselves.
II was four weeks later and again
the time was just before working
hours. Az the entrance a little wom-
an is standing and distributing folded
leaflets. People become inquisitive.
Yes, right enough II is the &c. e. G..

Social Affairs
Resolutions

to the young workers and their prob
lens. At all party fractions there
must be representative of the Y. w.
l.. Even in industries where there is
not single Y W. l.. member but
where young workers are employed
the question of the young workers
must be taken up in conjunction with
the Y. w. l.. representatives. In the
question of organizing the inorganic
ed the party must pay special atten-
ton to the problem of youth labor
The party must assist the league in
working out correct demands that the
Y. w. L. fractions will put forward in
every union.
The league today has its member
ship in the light industries only. The
party must assist the league financ-
tally to help place organizers in the
districts where the basic Industries
are located. These organizers sent by
the Y. w. L. must not be given party
work SO that they are taken away
from the very work. for which they
we're sent; the league sacrificing its
limited forces by sending those COM
rades into the field. i mention this
because of the great danger and the
general practice, that whenever a
comrade of the Y. W.cL. shows ability
to organize he is Immediately taken
for party work. On the whole this
principle is correct one. The object
of the league is to train recruits for
the party. But at this moment when
the league is so weak numerically
and has few capable comrades. such
practice would retard the develop
ment of the league and would natur-
ally in the long run defeat the very
purposes for which these comrades
were taken for party work The dis
trict organizers in the field must bear
this in mind.
The party must help the league to
establish central training school in
Chicago. Many league members must
be encouraged to attend the party
schools, but at the same time the
league must carry on indie e ndent
educational work. The comrades in
the districts must also help the league
to establish district training schools.
On the whole We can record a
marked change in the Relationship of
the party and the league. This new
attitude on the part 0fIthe party lead
ership shows that the party has
adopted correct line on this prob
lem. The party mustInow see to it
that this new attitude generates into
the ranks Of the party membership
and is carried into practice.
The league is facing great oppor-
tunities. We are on the road to a
mass Young Communist League. With
the guidance and aid of the party lead.
ership and cooperation of the party
membership in thesS districts, the
league will be able to- accomplish it's
tasks, and become a Bolshevik league.
a worthy section of the Young Com
munist International, and a strong
battalion from whichs,the party will
recruit its best fighters.
