DEAR COMRADES, everywhere: ]

DEAR COMRADES, everywhere: If
~ you want to build up our paper,
let us work at it. Hundreds, or even
thousands of us can become DAILY
WORKER Builders.
The street nucleus is our natural
place to function. And what is street
nucleus? 1t is the party organization
or portion of city where there are
thousands of houses in which workers
live. Once every day each wage earn
ers comes home to rest. He, or she,
is going to read something. A few Of
these get together as a unit of our
party. These and few others, one in
a hundred or a thousand read The
DAILY WORKER.
WELL, what is needed is for one of
w us fellows to camp right in the
middle of every nucleus.
We will start in taking census
that is, finding out who is who and
what is what. In a fiat light book of
large blank leaves we will make two
columns; one for odd numbers and one
for even numbers as applied to the
houses where our brother workers
live. We will write the name Of the
street and the date we start working
at the top Of the page. Then in one
of the columns we will begin writing
the house numbers in succession. In
the opposite column we will write
numbers on the other side of the
street. We will leave an inch, or little
less, between each number. OF course
we will have to visit the houses in
order to do this. This will map out
our work. AS with the gardener, this
would be making out the rows for
planting the seed.
EITHER at the time we are writing
II the numbers, or at future time
we will ring. the door bell. This, you
think, will take some nerve. Yes, just
about as much as if you were to go
see a man you never saw about any
other matter you are both concerned
with. You both want better wages,
less hours and a newspaper which
represents you both. You will explain
that you have been delegated to see
all the wage earners here. That it is
hoped each one will buy one of these
papers that he may read it carefully
and see what it is. Or, better yet, let
It be delivered each day for week
or two and give it trial OF course
you will say number of things, what
ever seems necessary, but above all
you will not allow yourself to be side
tracked from your object If the person
you meet is impolite and brings up
other matters all you can do is to say
Excuse me brother, l hoped you
would consider this matter on it's
merits. cannot take time now to
discuss anything else" Then if he
refused to pay attention to the purpose
of your mission you can say Some
time would like to discuss other mat
ters with you, but l cannot take time
now" This leaves him with no ground
for offense and you can use your own
judgement about seeing him again.

CHICAGO JOURNAL RAPS CLUBBING

For many months now there has
been in progress a mildworkers'
strike at Passaic, N. j. The leader
is young man named Weisbord,
Harvard graduate, who was born
among the people whose fight he is
waging, who educated himself, and
who is trying not to rise above his
class, but to help them in the econ
omic struggle. Granting, for the sake
Of the argument, that he might be
mistaken in the issues for which he
is fighting-though no conclusive
evidence has been offered the public
on this point-the tactics Of the mill
owners and of the public authorities
are open to the seVerest criticism.
From the outset the effort has
been made to discredit the strikers
and to identify them the public
mind with aw-breaking and Viol-
ence. Yet the records fail to show
them guilty at any point, and the
records show that violence in the
name of the law has been resorted
to again and again. The strikers
have been denied the freedom of the
streets, the freedom of public meet
ing; they and their sympathizers
have been arrested and held for ex-
cessive bail. Red" and "BolsheVik,"
the faVorite words of the day in the
mouths Of abusive conservatism,
have been banded about lndiscrimi-
nately.
Norman Thomas hired a tree from
which he addressed the strikers, ad-
Vocating peaceful and orderly tao

proof of the great interest they find IL

T EFT me say here, that your best
~ course is not to tussle too much,
If at all, with the job of converting
persons. Your job, at least for a long
time, is to find people, not make them.
Your job is to pass freely along from
house to house in search of that type
and development of mind which will
read and appreciate The DAILY
WORKER. You may say that such
persons will line up of their own &C
cord. Never. Not any more than a
ripe berry will pick itself and put it.
self in basket
Whether this last statement is true,
or why it is true, we do not need to
discuss now. l know by experience of
many years that not more than one in
twenty-five of those ready for our work
are doing it. So when the one has
found the other twenty-four, or some
one specializing on the job has found
them, we will have organized effort
just that much more powerful than
it now is.

~ faces or cuss anybody but our
selves. With all this great proletarian
field lying all about us with sod un-
broken and grown full of weeds, what
is the matter with us? l am speaking
Of the few conscious Marxists and
Leninists.
1t is true we have done a mighty
task in developing an organized party
and paper, which, under the circum-
stances, is truly wonder. But now
let us complete the job. The DAILY
WORKER is not just for it's builders
to sit and read. 1t is tool, a cultiva-
ton, for breaking sod and up-rooting
weeds. We need a gardener, a head
gardener, for every street nucleus.
One who will canvass and re-canvass
every house himself, if he cannot get
volunteers at it.

make their regiment one of the best
and most dependable in the country.
They have succeeded in great
measure.
The records of the war department
at washington show that this regi-
ment has been where it was wanted
when it was wanted, in many cam
paigns and that in these campaigns
these men did what they were told
and if that meant to die they did
that as thoroughly and as manfully
as any hero ever painted.
This regiment took part in the
war. Their record
shows that they faced bullets, terri
BILE heat, starvation, thirst, lack of
sleep and grilling work without
flinching. This regiment was in the
Islands during many of the years
when the Moro campaigns were on
in all their fierceness.
Probably the finest tribute that has
ever been paid to any group or sec
ton of the fighting forces of the
United States was paid by staff
officer to the colored soldiers who
went to France. This officer stood
beside a table at great banquet
and said that of all the men who
fought and worked and who paid
the nations debts with their lives
the colored soldiers did their work
more willingly and more cheerfully
than any other class or group and
that in France where their work
was of a sort almost unbearably lrk-
some and disagreeable he had never
heard q word of complaint or insub-
ordination from any one Of them.
Our army has changed since the
war. Men who were professional
soldiers before the war have become
dissatisfied since and have quit the
service, but it is still the greatest
army in the world and the things
that make it that and make it an
arnay for every American as duty
to his own soul, to take an interest
in, are the high quality of American
manhood and the intricate and Won
derful system that governs that ar

Kipling wrote stories and poems
about the British. soldier until, all
over the world he is known as Tom
my Atkins" and respected as a, first
class fighting man." Every novelist
for the past half century has written
eign Legion as the most romantic
body of soldiers on earth but the peo-
pie of the United States who pay
taxes and wave flags to support the
finest army in the world, that organ
ization of sons of America that back
ed Germany out of France, civilized
the Philippine Islands, conquered the
Moro, the Indian and the Spaniard
and in whose regulations there is no
article of instructions on how to re-
treat, is very nearly forgotten and
neglected by the people it protects
In times of peace the public is
prone to think of a soldier as a man
in a neat uniform who walks about
the streets with apparently nothing
in the world to do. They resent that
strolling soldier because he looks and
acts like he was proud of something.
He has a right to be proud, He
belongs to an organization whose re-
quirements are higher than any other
in the world. He is member of an
organization that was founded by
George Washington and in whose rec
ords appear the names of nearly
every great statesman America has
ever produced.
To be a common soldier in this ar
my man must be physically fit,
mentally awake and morally straight.
After he is in the service he is PEN
stoned if he becomes unfit mentally
or physically and if his morals come
to be bad he is dishonorably and
disgracefully kicked out "for the
benefit of the service" So that this
army that marches under flag un-
stained by dishonor or defeat may
never have reason to be ashamed of
ITSELF.
