BY the Associated Press.


LONDON, June 26.-Sir James
Bland Sutton, famous surgeon, has
been busy man many years attend
ing the ills of human beings, but he
also has found time to indulge in re-
search work in connection with wild
animals in captivity. Recently he
was made a vice president of the
Geological Society. and much to the
surprise of Londoners he has dis
closed that for five years he went to
the ZOO five days a week to conduct
post mortems on animals.
Some of his most interesting cases
at the zoo have been the lionesses and
their babies.

some of these centers are in the
strongest districts of the party.
The packing, farm implement, auto
mobile, and similar industries are
scattered over the nation. The metal
industry, like the building and print
ing industry, to cite a few examples,
are found in all cities. 1t is self-evi-
dent, therefore, that every industrial
campaign Of The DAILY WORKER
should enlist the whole, or almost the
whole of the party's forces. 1t is
only by drawing in all the party's
forces that the greatest good can be
achieved for the party and every pos
sibility taken advantage of for THE

TNHE party is not strong enuf at pres
4 ent to conduct a successful cam
paign on a large scale for the organ
ization of the unorganized. Even the
Left Wing of the organized trade
union movement is not equipped to do
so at this moment. But the begin
ming must be made.
It is pointed out for instance in out
lining the stockyards' campaign, that
it was not possible to develop the agi
tation campaign into an immediate or
ganization campaign. The campaign,
however, resulted in getting new read
ers for The DAILY WORKER and
new members for tha Workers (Com-
munist Party, in addition to inter-
esting large numbers of workers in
the problems confronting them. To
that extent the campaign was a decid-
ed success. 1t is futile to charge that
the campaign was not a success be-
cause it did not develop Immediately
into drive to Organize the Unor-
sanized!" Similarly it is mistake to
say that the industrial campaigns
should be confined merely to indus
tries that already have some organ
national developments. To do so
would prevent the frontiers of The
DAILY WORKER, and of the party as
well, from being established among
the broadest masses of the workers.
Such campaigns should always point
out the organizational problems faced
by the workers, and how to overcome
them, preparing the way for the day
when it will be possible to launch an
effective drive to "Organize the Unor-
ganized!"

Workers of Chicago had an op-

workers and peasants towards Lenin
in the three reel moving picture film
in which a number of outstanding
events in Lenin's life were pictured
and also the endless professions fol-
lowing his death. AS scene after
scene was thrown on the screen, the
workers in the hall became awed at
the masses of peasants and workers
that stood for hours at railway sta
tions waiting for the train bearing
the body of Lenin to its resting place
in Moscow. The scenes of the wake"
and the demonstration of the work
ers and peasants around Lenin's
mausoleum We're impressive. When
the film ended and the workers left

that tho Lenin was dead, his spirit
lived in the hearts ofithe workers.

- Fhis great demonstration of Chi
eago workers is the first, big accomp-
lishment of the Chicago local of the
Workers (Communist) Party since its
reorganization on the shop and street
nuclei basis. The party without this
Bolshevik form Of organization could
not have filed the Coliseum. This
task was accomplished by the dill
gent work of the party nuclei in the
shop and factories, selling tickets,
agitating among the workers, handing
out leaflets, copies of The DAILY
WORKER acquainting the workers
with Lenin and Leninism.
Along with the shop nuclei are the
street nuclei Each street nucleus
took its share of the leaflets, The
DAILY WORKER and other litera-
ture and covered the factories in its
allotted territory. The language frac-
tions did their part
The mass demonstration at the
Coliseum was only possible because
the party has started its work in the
shops and has begun to gain leader

Many workers. who until a month
ago did not know there was DAILY
WORKER and had never heard OF
Lenin and what he stood for, were
at this meeting Many of the work
ers from the yards the car shops
and other factories were among those
in the demonstration.
With the continued functioning OF
the shop and street nuclei and the Ian
guage fractions, demonstrations OF
this magnitude will be easy matters
for the party.
As the first strains of "The Interna

the entire mass arose in unison. AT

there is the problem Of distribution.
1t is very expensive to get The
DAILY WORKER on the news stands
in the vicinity of the various indus
trial plants, usually far removed from
the city's center. This is even true,
to very great extent, of Chicago
itself, where The DAILY WORKER
delivery system for news stands can
not begin to take in as yet many Of
the outlying industrial districts.
THESE special DAILY WORKER
4 campaigns must be conducted con-
tinuously. The drive in one industry
must be followed by drives in other
industries. There are the open shop
plants of the Harvester Trust"
everywhere over the land. There is
the transportation industry, building,
mining, textile, metal, printing, auto
mobile, needle, shoe, oil and rubber,
to mention few of the more promin-
ent.
1t is very important to stress that
activity must not be confined to Chi
cago alone. 1t should be spread thru
out the whole country, since the prob
lens faced are very much the same
everywhere, and the big capitalists
operate on a national, and even an in
ternational scale. Communists have
learned to do likewise. But the
masses must be brot into action on
this larger scale.
TNHE effort to reach the workers in
the packing industry with the ser
es of articles in the The DAILY
WORKER was the first attempt to
spread such campaign into all of its
possibilities. Articles were published
on conditions not only in Chicago but
in Omaha, Neb.; Kansas City, Mo-;
East st. Louis, ILL.,; and Cudahy, Wis.
Bundles of The DAILY WORKER
were distributed in the same centers.
But this was only touching the field.
There were just as good possibilities
in South st. Paul, Mimi; the New
York district; Indianapolis, Ind; St.

Omaha, Neb; Sioux City, Iowa; Fort

There is no other explanation for the
fact that an apprentice under 16 works

Social Affairs
Resolutions

TT is pointed out that there is an or
ganizable working class of at
least 20,00O,00O workers. OF these
only about 100000 belong to labor
unions, less than 100000 of these
being affiliated with the American
Federation of Labor. While spread
ing it's influence to the greatest pos
sible degree, among the organized
100000 it is self-evident that The
DAILY WORKER must do all in its
power to establish itself among the
16,4O0,0OO Of unorganized. This can
be done thru agitational campaigns,
that help awaken the workers to the
needs of organization.
The textile industry, with 100000
workers, has only about $4,000 organ
ized The shoe and leather industry
is only about 10 per cent unionized.
The oil, steel, meat packing, metal
mining, automobile and chemical in
dustries are almost completely unor-
ganized. Likewise the marine trans
port and the lumber Industries. This
is all worth remembering when it is
proposed to confine The DAILY
WORKER campaigns to merely the
organized or even semi-organized in
dustries. esa
TT should be possible for The
L DAILY WORKER to conduct diff
ferent industrial campaign each
month during the present year. Just
what industry should be taken up
each month is a matter for discus
sion. The DAILY WORKER would
like to hear from its readers on this
subject. 1t is claimed that the stock
yards campaign was not carried on at
the proper time, that it came during
slack period, featured by partial
work, when it was impossible to reach
the maximum number of workers.
There are always some drawbacks.
But workers in the different indus
tries can help determine the best time
for carrying out DAILY WORKER
campaign in their industry. All in
formation with suggestions should be
sent to The Editor, DAILY WORKER,

Velop The DAILY WORKER into a

PUBLISH new BOOK ABOUT
CHILDREN OF REVOLUTION
Volume by Anise Being Sold
by Y. w. L.

Anna Louise Strong, known to the
labor press as "Anise,'" has written
book of short stories of Russian chill
dren's life which is certain to become
a "best seller" among the children OF
the United States. Comrade Strong,
who has spent few years in building
up the John Reed colony on the Volga,
and who has an sS-eellent record of
support to the Ta~ssian revolution and
care for its coming generations, has
just issued her book, Children of
Revolution" which is something that
will be profitable read by the young
and old of this country.
The Young Workers League, which
is particularly interested in the work
of Comrade Strong, is now selling
copies of the book for fifty cents
each. A great part of the profits
derived from it's sale will go towards
the upbuilding of the children's col
onies on the Volga and in Moscow.
The school in Moscow is to do for city
trade what John Reed (the Volga
colony has done for farming.
The book is attractively got up and
bound, and is written in a fine style,
style for which Anise is already
well known. Workers are urged to
send in Immediately for their copy
to the Young Workers League, 1113
