Workers Party Will
Distribute 100000
Campaign Leaflets

The Workers (Communist) Party
is on the ballot in 81 states, and is
confident of being on in 35 for the
presidential election. About half of
the campaign fund of 100000 has
been raised. Twelve speakers are
already on nation wide tours and
several more will be sent out soon.
Over 100000 signatures in the
thirty states were obtained in the
drive to get on the ballot, including
a large percentage of Negro voters.
The Communists are now a real
force in the elections as well as in
the labor movement.
The next step towards intensity
ing the campaign, taken yesterday
by the National Campaign Commit
tee, is to print 100000 leaflets on
six issues considered by the com
mittee as the most important in
this campaign. They are. Unem-

WOMAN WRITER'S
PROVEN TO Be IN
PAY Of UTILITIES
Received $500 Monthly
for Articles

WASHINGTON, Oct. A (UP).-
Magazine articles written by Mrs.
John B. Sherman, former president
Of the General Federation of Wom-
ems Clubs, for which she received
$500 a month from the National
Electric Lighr Association, were put
in evidence today in the Federal
Trade Commissions power inves-
tigation.
Most of the articles appeared in
rural publications and dealt with
electrical equipment for the farm
home. Mrs. Sherman urged farmers
wives to purchase modern equip
ment.
Payments to Mrs. Sherman ag-
gregated $4,000 since October, 1925.
George F. Oxley, publicity director
of the N. E. L. A., testified that
the arrangement with Mrs, Sher-
man is still effective and she re-
Gently completed eleven articles to
be published soon.
Some of Mrs. Sherman's articles
were rewritten by Oxley, reprinted
in utility literature without her sig
nature and frequently printed in
newspapers in their news columns
after utility agents sent them to the
editors, he said. There was no indi-
cation that the articles were paid for
by utility groups, Oxley admitted.
