DISTRICT five
PLANS DAILY
WORKER DRIVE

PITTSBURGH, Pa, Aug. %. - Dis
trict Five, Workers (Communist)
Party which during the national
DAILY WORKER campaign occupied
the second place in the contest, is now
following up its good work with a
special District DAILY WORKER
drive, which is to begin Sept l and
end Nov. Z. Each shop or street
nucleus is expected to secure at least
subs a member during the campaign.
The nucleus that will raise the
highest percentage of their quota will
choose a delegate to the next national
convention of the party. The district
will cover the expenses Of this dele
gate. The comrade who will secure at
least fifteen yearly subs will receive
a set of three volumes of Capital by
Karl Marx. The chird prize a set Of
books will be given to the comrade
who will secure at least ten yearly
subs during the campaign.
Four yearly subscriptions to the
Young Worker or three yearly subs to
-the Workers Monthly will be consider
ed equal to one yearly sub for the
DAILY WORKER. Smaller subs will
be credited accordingly.
Each comrade is to be credited with
subs secured personally, and no one is
allowed to apply to his credit subs
secured by someone else.
The decision to begin a special dis
trict drive for DAILY WORKER was
reached by the district executive com
mittee after a thoro analysis of the
results of the national DAILY WORK
Err campaign which terminated re-
Gently. While the district did fairly
we'll during that campaign, yet sur
vey Of the situation shows that the
field OF prospective subscribers has
hardly been touched in this district
of coal and STEEL It is expected that
during the district drive the circula-
ton of The DAILY WORKER will at
least be doubled.

Comrades, this brings to you love
and best thanks from the miners and
other workers in, Britain for the great
services you have rendered to the
cause of labor thruout the world by
your magnificent collections and sub
scriptions to help them in their strug-
gle with the capitalists. You who are
young in Russia are living in a great
time. Your nation, after long centu-
ries Of oppression, has overthrow the
autocracy and entrusted you with the
glorious task Of building a new and
nobler civilization. This means lots of
hard, very hard work; it cannot be
done in day. Therefore you must
learn and practice discipline; you
must at all times understand that the
cause of socialism is of more impor-
lance than anything else in the world.
Your fathers were taught to worship
the czars; today you must worship,
not by kneeling to a shrine, but by
doing your days work efficiently, 10y
ally, and with good heart.
Work Only Begun.
Do you think that because you have
got the Soviet government in power,
nothing is needed from you. You are
the youth of Russia, and more is need
ed from you than from anyone else
because all the future is in your hands.
Therefore, comrades, in sending you
this short message from an old Brit
ish worker in the cause of socialism,
ask you to be worthy your great OPP
portunity. Tens of thousands of Rus
slams lived and fought and died; some
in exile in the mines of Siberia, others
left their bones on the roadside of that
terrible road along which, chained to-
gether, marched the beloved comrades
whose work and sacrifice made posi-

ers' Society, founded in 1871. This
was a society adopting some Of the
old craft guild traditions. They, the
weavers, were pledged as a primary
function ito make good and suf-
ficient work and exact neither higher
nor lower prices than are accustomed
in the town and parishes in the neigh
borhood." They were also bound to
contribute at least quarterly "for
poor's money" Later, some Of the
funds were utilized to buy reeds re.
quired by the weavers, thus relieving
the individual members Of the burden
of purchasing these necessaries
of the trade. This. one OF the earliest
forms OF collectively owned nipple
ments, is now extensively applied in
agriculture and other forms Of pro
ductive cooperation. In 1869 the Fen
wick Weavers' made further expert
ment. Some of the funds were used
to purchase "victuals." The victuals
were bought in bulk from the pro
Queer, and resold, at price fixed as
low as possible, to the members. The
small margin of profit was used to
cover interest on the money borrowed

and the labor leaders is not public
property yet.
Inspect Training Camp.
The labor leaders inspected the
Citizens Training Camp at Platts-
burg at the invitation of Dwight F,
Davis, secretary of war. The reac-
tionary labor bureaucrats are as much
interested in the war preparations of
the capitalists as the capitalists them
selves regardless of the fact that in
evitably these military forces will be
used against the workers when they
seek to assert their right to what they
produce.
The voting influence OF the A. F. of
L. bureaucracy is now on the market
and both capitalist parties are bar
gaining for delivery.
SIush Does Not Bother Them.
In Illinois, the slush fund expose has
not deferred regular republican lead
ers from continuing their support Of
Frank L. Smith, senatorial candidate.
Anti-Small elements are suggesting an
independent candidate but the regu-
lars state this would only give the
victory to the democrat Brennan who
is also smeared with the insult slush.
Rosenwald Against Smith.
Julius Rosenwald, chairman of the
Sears Roebuck board of directors,
advocated that Smith resign as Illi-
nois senatorial nominee 1t is quite
possible that Smith will run and that
the anti-Small element may support
Brennan who only got $4,000 of In
sull funds. How they can reconcile
this possible action with their denun-
citation of slush funds can only be ex-
planned by capitalist editors.
The labor leaders who supported
Smith in the primaries have not yet
withdrawn their endorsement.

necessaries, and the profit will form a
common capital to be again laid out
in the commodities most wanted.
Thus we shall have two sources of ac-
cumulation-the weekly subscription,
and the profit on articles sold. Sup
pose 200 persons thus unite, and sub
scribe each, shilling week, and by
purchasing at their own store, produce
profit of $40 a week, they will ac-
cumulate at the rate of $50 week,
or G $50 a year -. The Society
will DE- able now to find work for some
of its members, the whole produce of
whose labor will be common prop
erty E. AS the capital accumulates
still farther, it will employ all the
members, and then the advantages
will be considerable indeed Every
member of the society will work, there
will be no idlers. All the property
will be common property, there will be
| no pauperism or crime. When any of
( the members are i'll, they will live and
have medical attendance at the com.
mon expense. When the capital has
accumulated sufficiently, the Society
may purchase land, live upon 1t, cul
tivate it themselves, and produce any
manufactures they please, and so pro
vide for all their wants of food, cloth.
ing and houses. The society will then
be called a community.
The decline of the early co-operat-
i've movement conceded with the
growth of militant trade unionism and
chartism, which offered more immedi-
ate benefits to the downtrodden work
ers. Further, progress was bound to
be slow, because the Rochdale system,
as means of attracting workers, had
not then been discovered. Profits
were usually divided in proportion to
the amount Of capital held by individ-
ual members, and in some cases an
equal share Of the profits was taken
or profits were added to capital to
provide for development or fresh en-
terprises. There was no guarantee
against fraudulent dealing. The di.
vision of profits among those who
could afford to hold capital naturally
did not appeal to those, the great ma
jority of workers, with no savings to
invest.
