By GERTRUDE HAESSLER

NO comrade can forget the splendid
~ results of the election campaign
in Germany last May, and, finding
ourselves in the midst of our own
campaign, it would be of great
benefit to US to examine some of
the methods our German comrades
used to attain the results they did
None of the German comrades,
either in post-election articles or in
verbal estimation of the election re-
suits, hesitate to ascribe great credit
to the active work done through the
shop papers. Horst Froehlich, in his
very critical article on the shop
papers in the Berlin = district
("Funke," July, 1928, page 2-"Der
Funke," which means "The Spark, +"
is issued by the district Committee
of the Berlin Brandenburg district
of the German Party, and is devoted
mainly to analyses of the works of
the DISTRICT says: "There is no
campaign of the Party which can
be conducted only in residential dis
tricts by street nuclei. Every cam
paign must be conducted also by the
factory nuclei, which requires a
thorough use of the factory
papers"
Elections, Shop News Linked.
During the election campaign shop
work was greatly intensified. The
regular issues were given over al
most entirely to election propa-
Panda, linked up, although not al
ways sufficiently, with shop news
and the immediate interests of the
workers. Some had special election
supplements to their regular May
issue, such as "Rote Inventure,"
which was issued as special cleo
ton supplement to the "Angestell-
tenstimme," for the workers in one
Of the LARGEST department stores of
Berlin. The leading article in the
regular issue was an analysis of the
elections as they concerned the en-
ployes. and the rest of the number
covered what it would normally
cover. The supplement, on the other
hand. was given over entirely to
election propaganda.
Shop papers which had been dead
and buried for months were dug up,
revived and drafted into service. In
certain factories, where the nuclei
thought they weren't strong enough
to issue papers regularly, paper
was distributed for the election
campaign only. without the inten-
ton Of continuing afterward. Some
of these have survived and are still
functioning. Nuclei which neglected
to issue papers before. although they
had been in a position to do so.
started them under the stimulus of
the campaign and have continued
them ever since. Even in factories
where no nuclei existed, or where
no Communists were employed,
papers were issued for the cam
paign on the basis of non party
sources of information.
Try Experiments.
Certain experiments were tried in
types Of papers never issued before.
Street nuclei started neighborhood
papers, such as die Rote Insel'
(the Red Island), and blocks of tene-
ments, which had problems in COM
mon, were covered by special cleo
ton papers dealing with problems
peculiar to the tenant, and linked
up with the election campaign.

say. unlawful treatment of Gramsci
and Terracini."
The International Labor Defense
is continuing to organize nation
wide campaign of protest, particu-
larly in the ranks Of the labor move
ment to prevent the murderous at
tempts Of the Mussolini government
to assassinate in its dungeons the
best fighters for the Italian revolu-
ton. 3
The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1928-10-10

All these papers, which are usu-
ally regularly sold, were given away
during the last month of the cam
paign in order to cover up every
possible worker.
Some of the papers shone con-
spicuously by their excellence, while
others had glazing shortcomings.
An example of average quality was
the May number of the "Schuchard
Lautsprecher' ("Loudspeaker")
One would assume that it is being
issued in radio plant, although
there is absolutely nothing in it's
contents to show it-none of the
items are connected up in any way
with the article which the workers
are producing. On the other hand,
it is written in a vivacious and in
teresting style and closely bound up
with the life of the workers, who
are evidently predominantly or en-
tirely women.

Appeal to Women.

THE first page IS devoted to an
election cartoon, appealing to
every woman to vote-the typist,
the scrubwoman and the woman at
the machine-and of course to vote
Communist.
The next page is a very long, but
well-written article on all the as
poets of the workers life-prices of
food, danger TO children in the
streets, the slave-driving pace of
work, the low wages, the trickery of
the employer, overtime, unheated
rooms-and then the cause of it all,

EVEN some liberal capitalist edi-
Il tors are not swallowing the KEEL
logg peace pact with their usual
alacrity. They fear that the reser-
vations made by the great capitalist
powers render the instrument more
or less null if not void. For instance
England makes it quite clear that
any measures of military nature
she may see fit to take in defense"
of her empire must be considered
outside the pale of the Kellogg "anti-
war" treaty. And ditto for the
French and the rest Of the pirates
including the United States. This
is the fake peace move that the
socialist party is trying to sell to
the workers.
THANKS to the social-democrats Of
Austria the fascists may consider

a success. With the support of the
government the Austrian black shirts
marched on this workingclass strong
hold, declaring this was only way

peated in Austria, unless the Com
munists succeed in securing the

 WAY TO END PROVERTX

Works of charity must be combia ed with striving for justice in indus tr9il and social life, declares D9. John O'Grady, professor of sociology at the Catholic University of Ameri- ca, in his book just published on "Social Work"
 Social work cannot fail to reck- on." he says, with the problem of income and the closely allied pro- bl'n of continuity of income.
 Multiply social service agencies and expand their work as you will, you can contribute very little toward tte solution of the problems of pro : perty without a more equitable dis tribution of the products of industry.

If we are permanently to inn prove the conditions of the poor and to prevent large numbers of wage earners from passing over into the ranks of the poor, we must strive earnestly for better wage standards and the protection of wage earners against industrial hazards.

Robert Allen felt that the Bureau owed it to the town of Petersburg to put it's school on par with the To cel and other schools and take care ot all Indian children. That the matter should go to court and be set- tied for all time He did assert, however, that the facts set forth by MT. Paul were reasonable and logis cai, but that the question had gotten tc such a point that the courts rshould settle it.
 Mir. Swanson when called upon al- so felt that the courts should settle thc matter. In a second talk he was rather inclined to favor applicants but the sentiment of the whole meeting was rather against his talk irg any positive stand in favor of the children.
 After almost a three-hour discus son of the matter the Board decided to let the matter stand as of the min u;Fs of a previous meeting in which they decided to enter no more h. dian childre nthis year.

PROMISE ACTION

While the main go at the Arena
tomorrow night promises to be the
feature event ON the program, the
.scmi-final will not be far behind it
in interest and action. Bert Sam
son of Los Angeles and Tommy Elks
of Phoenix are to do the jaw slap
ping in the main event while An
drew Brooks, Imperial colorcd boy,
and Kid Middlcbrook of the Tom
Jones stable, win clash in the semi
final.
Brooks has been going along at 4
wicked gait in his battling at the
Arena of late. He has stopped some
mighty good boys and is fighting Il
heady battle.
In bringing Middlcbrook here,
Frank Richmond, has pitted the Inn
pcrial boy against a real battler and
the ''Deacon will need step on the
gas if he crashes through to a vic
tory tomorrow night
Middlebrook has won nine of his
las K fights by knockouts and re-
Gently fought Johnnie Adams, civ.
ing the San Bcrnardino boy a lively
tussle before he turned in a victory.
But Brooks is a rangy boy and
possesses considerable ring know
ledge which coupled with a good
punch and plenty of reach makes
him hard boy to beat.
Samson is slightly favored to
win over Tommy Elks, although
Elks is far from babe in the ring
Elks won considerable prestige he"e
by defeating Tony Escalantc at Ca
lcXico last winter. Samson has won
some fights over good boys of late,
including Joe Layman and Bert
Forbes, following up with draw
against Pedro Amador.
The special bout will bring to
gethcr Henry lnowe and Jimmie
MARTINEZ, the latter of San Bcrnar
dino, while the opening bout will bl
between Hippo Burns and Young
