THE Central Executive Committee of
1 our Workers (Communist) Party
has announced the Lenin- Ruthenberg
Membership and DAILY WORKER
Drive to take place from the time of
the Lenin Memorial to the time of the
Ruthenberg Memorial, and calls upon
the entire membership of our Party
to increase the membership by 5000
and to obtain 10000 new subscribers
for our DAILY WORKER.
Our, Central Executive Committee
is to be congratulated in that they
have selected such a fitting time for
this important Drive. What could be
more appropriate to start the cam
paign to build our Party than the
Memorial Day of the creator of the
Russian Bolshevik Party and the
Communist international? 1t was
Lenin who taught US the real signifi-
canoe of the Party as the organiza-
ton of the advance guard of the revo-
iutionary proletariat.
And Comrade Ruthenberg who was
still in our midst year ago, was, on
the other hand, the father of our
American Party. AS Comrade Lenin
devoted his entire life for the inter-
national proletarian revolution, so did
Comrade Ruthenberg devote his life
to the struggles of the American
working class.
Comrade Ruthenberg was one of
those who always realized that con-
duct of the class struggle on the part
of the working class in America
makes it absolutely necessary that
che advance guard be organized into
revolutionary political Party, which
can lead the struggles of the whole
working class. Comrade Ruthenberg
was a devoted and tireless worker
and organizer, working years in the
Socialist Party and belonging to its
revolutionary left wing.
When the time came to organize the
Communist Party of America, Com
rade Ruthenberg was among the first
10 realize this. He was the first Ma
cional Secretary of our Party and is
rightly considered the father of the
American Communist movement
Comrade Ruthenberg was a tireless
worker and organizer of our Party
until the very end Of his life. His
last words were: Build the Party
Therefore, what could be more APP
propriate than the coupling of his

DETROIT SHOWS THE WAY
Starts Drive With 90 NeaU Members

NEWS has just been received from
~ Detroit that in the Lenin Mem
orial Meetings there which marked
the opening of the enin-Ruthenberg
Memorial Membership and DAILY
WORKER Drive, ninety workers
Joined the Workers (Communist)
Party.
This is notable achievement that
the comrades in Detroit can well be
proud of and an example worthy to
be followed by all other comrades
turnout the country.
What has been done in Detroit can
be duplicated everywhere else, for as
in Detroit SO everywhere the masses
are responding more and more to the
slogans of the Workers Communist
Party and following it's leadership in
he various struggles that the Work
ers Party is conducting. That ninety
nine workers joined the Party at such
a celebration is ample proof of the
fact that the masses are beginning to
understand more and more the
treacherous role played by the labor
lieutenants of Imperialism in the
trade unions and that they under
stand that the Workers (Communist)
Party and the left wing alone have
the correct slogans for the mobiliza-
ton of the masses and struggle to
save the unions, against war, etc.
No deubt the fact that Comrade
Wolfe, National Agitprop Director
made the appeal contributed grea
deal to the great number of worker
that joined the Party. mrad
Wolfe has time and again shown tina
he is perhaps the best in our Part,
when it comes to making an appeal
for joining the Workers (Communist)
Party. I remember once before Com

connection with our drive to build the
Must Be BoIshevik Campaign.

L oil W ssf-t-f.--t
Must Be Bolshevik Campaign.
But neither Comrade Lenin nor
Comrade Ruthenberg ever went into
membership campaigns abstractly
simply appealing to workers to join
our Party.
Comrade Lenin split with the Men
sheviks on the question of what
membership consists of in a revolu-
tionary Party.
The general conception of the
Second International was, and the
Russian Mensheviks adhered to it,
that paying dues in the Party was
sufficient.
Comrade Lenin could not accept
this conception of membership in a
revolutionary Party of the proletariat
He said that only those who are pay
ing dues and are actively participa-
ting in Party work can be considered
as members.
Comrade Ruthenberg a h e d
strictly to this feminist conception OF
Communist Party membership, and
always urged our entire membership
to actively participate in all our Party
campaigns.
Our Central Committee is following
the path of these dead leaders of ours
In declaring the Membership and
DAILY WORKER Drive, the Central
Committee urges our membership to
recruit new members and get new
subscribers only in connection with
actual work, namely in connection
with the following activities:
l. Campaign for Miners Relief
and to save the miners union.
2. Fight against injunctions.
B. Fight for protection of the
foreign born.
a. Fight against unemployment.
5. Struggle against war and fol-
the defense and recognition of the So
Union.
6. For Labor Party or at least q
united labor ticket in the 1928 cleo
TONS
1t is readily seen that the Central
Committee has so formulated the plar
of the membership drive, that re-
cruiting can be made in connection
with the actual class struggle anc
only those participating in the class
struggle with our Party will be asked
to join it.
Many Workers Sympathetic.
Will it be possible for us to gair
5000 new members?

BUILD OUR WORKERS
COMMUNIST PARTY
By Fred Ellis

Party living participant of every
day struggles of the workers, we
must in connection with these strug-
giles learn to draw in the best ele-
ments of these workers into our
Party and so ever strengthen our APP
paratus.
We must also realize that in order
to carry on our struggles and cam
paigns we must build strong central
organs. Our chief organ, The DAILY
WORKER, which has been build by
the strenuous efforts of our Party
and its sympathizers, m ust be
strengthened. We must extend it's in
fluence. The best way to build the
DAILY WORKER and extend it's in
fluence is to get thousands of new
readers for it.
Even as Lenin and Ruthenberg
taught US the necessity of a prole-
tartan mass Party, they also taught
us the Importance of Party papers
Lenin wrote as early as 1902 that a
newspaper is a collective organi-
zer." Everyone Of us remember how
repeatedly Co n d Ru henberg
urged every member and every sym
pathizer to get behind the DAILY
WORKER.
Let us follow the fine example
given to us by these dead leaders of
ours! Let us approach our struggling
brothers and sisters in connection with
the campaigns of our Party and ask
them to join our Party and subscribe
% our fearless organ-The DAILY
WORKER.
The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1928-01-26

Everyone who is familiar with our
Party campaigns during the last year
knows that there are tens of thou
sands of American workers who have
actively participated in the various
campaigns initiated by our Party in
behalf of the American working
class, such as anti-war campaign in
connection with intervention in China,
Mexico and Nicaraguan affairs; pro-
lection of foreign born; relief for
striking miners in Pennsylvania,
Ohio, West Virginia and Colorado, in
the campaign for the establishment
of the Labor Party and numerous
other campaigns.
We would have gone thru all these
strenuous campaigns in vain had we
not been able to create sympathetic
attitude among the great majoriy of
these workers who have participated
in these mass movements side by side
with US and under our leadership. If
we have been able to arouse keen in
terest amongst these workers to-
wards our Party, surely it must be
possible to recruit a good many thou
sands of them to actual membership
in our Party. Comrades, we must
do this. This. is what the Central
Executive Committee asks US to do in
connection with the further cam
paigns of our Party.
