1T is quite safe" urged the Organizer All his
married nerves were shriekng to him to get the
business done. Everyone knows you hold freuueNely
these literary and artistic soirees. People come and
go, all the time, during them. No one will think
anything, when my comrades drop in, in ones and
twos. And they just quietly go upstairs, and
no one will be the wiser. Half your guests don't
know the other half, so there is nothing to fear
from that quarter, either" He explained it ALL with
weary patience, reassuring them.
81 was sure you would agree" added the Dis
trict Organizer "You are so interested in our
movement. And l have always known you to be
among the most valuable and helpful of our svn-
pathizers."
"Of course interested" said the lawyer
1--WE would do anything possible to help you But"
"Mr Strauss" the hostess interrupted 81 really
don't think it fair of you to ask us to do this Con-
slider our position! With your party Illegal it is
not safe! If there any arrests, we should be
in terrible position. Ny husband and l. as hosts
as inspirers, ! might even say-of so many men
and women of talent and ideas, have practically
a public position. Can we endanger it?' She
glanced nervously at her husband for confirmation
"That is So" said the lawyer. eve really must
consider the greatest good to the greatest number
you know. And my position as a professional man
lit is not as though had nothing to lose. If it
were discovered that the meeting was held here it
might seriously damage. Really, while l sympa-
thize with your ideals, as l have often said do
not think you should come to me with this pro-
posal."
The District Organizer was silent. He gazed at
them cody, meditatively, appraisingly.
'It is not fair!" burst the little lawyer petu-
lantly.
"Is this the first time we have asked you to do
anything to help us" asked the Organizer thought
fully.
yes" said his host. "But you see how it is. :"
EYES," said the Organizer, 81 see how it is.
Good EVENING""
Flutteringy, his host accompanied him down.
stairs.
He was out upon the street again. Only an hour
and a half left now, in which to find place. He
must find places he must find a place 1t was
expected of him; the comrades were waiting. The
Party expected it of him! He must find place.
He ran over, in his mind, the list of Party SYM
pathizers living in this neighborhood
There was So-and-So; he had a smaller place,
in poorer street. There was more risk. But still,
he wasn't known to the police.
Eyes, I'll go there" he thought, Frightening with
decision. "Hes good sympathizer; and don't
think he'll refuse. He's workingman"
And he hurried towards the lamp-lit corner
where the street-cars stopped.

Voice of Labor mighty
Rolling, thundring surging,
Crashing, batt'ring dirging
A chant of Capitalism's Tyre and Nineveh.
