PITTSBURG DISTRICT COMMITTEE TO DOUBLE PARTY
MEMBERSHIP In HONOR OF RUTHENBERG

To All Units and Members of the
Workers (Communist) Party District
Five, Pittsburg, Pa.
Dear Comrades:
Our beloved Comrade c. E. Ruth
enberg, the general secretary of the
Workers (Communist) Party died in
Chicago March End. His death is an
unestimable loss to our party and to
the labor movement Of this country
generally.
Comrade Ruthenberg was undoubt-
edly, the most courageous and out
standing figure in the Communist
movement Of this country. A true
follower of Lenin and the feminist
policy, he continually carried on the
fight against both the leftist, sec
tartan dangers and against the right
wing opportunist and reformist ten
denotes. Always striving to deeply
root our influence among the large
masses of workers, he was continual
ly on guard that the correct feminist
policy was never lost sight of both
inside the party ranks and in the
work among the masses.
When Most Needed.
The passing of Comrade Ruthen-
berg came at time when the capt.
talist class, the government and the
labor bureaucracy have formed a
solid organized united front with a
view of complete destruction of the
Communist movement in this coun-
try. Our enemies are hoping that
with the passing of this powerful
leader of the party, it will be much
easier for them to disrupt our ranks
and thus make it easier for them to
carry out their plans of exterminat-
ing the Communist movement. They
hope that new internal struggles will
arise which will tend to weaken our
party.
Can Hardly Be Replaced.
Comrades, these facts must be born
in mind by every comrade, by
every worker, to whom the party is
dear. The loss of our leader can
hardly be replaced, except by the
joint efforts of the entire party
membership. The party is in danger.
We must close our ranks and present
a solid front against our enemies.
We must redouble cur efforts in or
der to continue the work for which
Comrade Ruthenberg spent years
and years in Jail and for which he
gave his life. The courage and de-
votion Of Comrade Ruthenberg must
serve as an example to every one of

VILLAGE is Pure,
SAYS J. S. SUMNER
The SMUTHUNTER
Won't Judge Demurity
At New Masses Ball

John S. Sumner, champ smut
hunter and former right-hand man of
Anthony Comstock, has decided to
confine his activities to plays and
books. He refuses to pass judgment
on the purity or demurity of "the
other SEX"
In letter to Egmont Arens, edi-
tor of the New Masses, Sumner de-
clines to act as Judge of the demur-
ity contest at the New Masses Anti
Obscenity Ball, Webster Hall, March
18th, on the ground that he has been
warned by teachings of mythology
to shrink from the mere suggestion
of acting as a judge in any capa-
city, whether it be demurity, beauty,
skill in dancing or any other feature
where the other sex is involved"
Branding as lie the vile allega-
ton that Greenwich Village is not
spotless in its purity, Mr.. Sumner
declares, Greenwich Village has
been given character by certain
and newspaper writer's,
but l am quite sure that the resi-
dents of that section of our city
average as we'll as do the residents
of any other section from the stand
point of decency and they are prob
ably, as industrious-in their way"

on the methods employed by the movie
magnates in keeping the pictures
clean. Hays may have some definite
ideas on cleanliness but we would sug-

A DAILY WORKER reporter at
n the De Valera meeting held in
Carnegie Hall last Monday evening
interrogated individuals who came to
hear the speakers. Since the audience
was a selected one, mostly politicians,
ward heelers, lawyers and cIergymen,
the working class followers Of the
Irish republican movement had TO cool
their heels on the sidewalk and run
the risk Of getting their skulls ac-
quainted with the virtues Of hickory
sticks from policemen who showed as
little respect for Irish republicans as
they do for the rights of Jewish cloak
makers.
THE replies given to our reporter
4 showed that Irish workers in
America who hitherto followed De
Valera and his kind with open ears
and shut brains are now beginning to
do a little thinking for themselves.
And while the reporter was asking
questions, so-called publisher Of a
weekly Irish sheet, seeming danger
To his literary tripe business in the
thinking aroused by our reporters
questions came along with the unor-
iginal suggestion that the newspa-
perman was British spy" AS long
as this type of faker is allowed TO
pose as a friend of Irish freedom, so
long will the willy British diplomats
have an easy task keeping Ireland
divided and in snhiacF-.
