 Porat. of Norway, and Phil Scott. Ithe fighting fireman from London. 'clash in a 1g-roud bout in Madi- son Square Garden tonight for char ity's sake and for possible. "shot' at the heavyweight championship of the world.
 TWenty-four hours before the battle, William Muldoon. venerable New York state athletic commis- sioner and co-donor. with Gene
 TGnney O. the Tunney- -AIuldoon heavyweight championship trophH announced that so far as he could see there were only three real con- tenders for the vacant titlc-Jacl Sharkcy of Boston; Max SchmeIing ,of Germany, and the winner of to- nights bout. In d general review 1 of the heavyweight situation, Mul- doon outlined plans for two matches one in Miami in February. and the other in New York in September, by
 which he hoped the vacant throne might be acceptably filled.
 Under Muldoon's plan the survit- or Of tOnights bout would me ISharkcy or Schmeln2 at Miami with the winner battling SharEry or $chm"Iiug for the title in Soptrln- her. Thus if %har,cy gets the coD in February and wins. ho would | meet Schmcling in September WI
 vice versa should Schnreling pc | picked for the Miami fight.
 Mndoon wields tremendous pow

 solid man" speaks, the boxing
 world listens.
 i While he was talking. >luldoon criticized Jimmy Johnston. Scott $
 manager, for making tho Nou 1 Porat match.
 "What We wanted was an inter- national match between the cham pions of great nations" declared the veteran commissioner. For that reason I am frank to say that l an sorry tonight's match ever w19 made. Scott is the recognized champion Of England and England
 ranks next to us as q great nation T felt that Scott had qualified foc
 the finals by his victory over Cam polo.
 Tt was not necessary for Scott to lmeet anyone but Sharkey or
 SchmolinG to win the title. The bis
 goal for Scott was a match with our 1 champion. Sharkey.'
 | In the event that Schmeling. who
 stands suspended in this state at present, declines 10 enter the tour inament, MuIdoon said only one thing could be done. That will be to recognize the winner Of tomor- row nights fight and Jack Sharkoy as the fnalists and decide the tour nament by bout between them" he explained.

Our Membership Drive and the Daily

when the Daily Worker in spite of criticism
from the center, in spite of personal pressure,
etc. goes on with old routine, passive handling
of the drive
In the organizational theses of the Third
World Congress of the Comintern we read the
following about our press and party CAM
paigns:
'If in certain period the activity of the
Party is concentrated upon certain campaign,
then the Party paper should in all its head
lines, not only in political editorials, put itself
into the service of this campaign"
1t was about this resolution that Lenin said
in his last speeches in the CT:
The foreigners have ''to learn in special
meaning of the word, so that they really I'M
derstand the organization, structure, methods
contents of the revolutionary work. When
that is done, then l am sure the perspectives
of the world revolution will be not only good
but exceptionally favorable"
This is the thing that our editors in every
department of the Daily Worker have to learn.
Not so that they will bring a phrase about
Join the Party!" or Remember the member
ship campaign of the Party!" or something of
the same kind in every news item, in most of
the headlines, or as sort of tail-end after
worse than before. The political aspects of
the drive must be connected with articles on
all subjects news items on international and
American happenings. This has to be done in
a political way, not artificially or mechanically.
This means work, it means an activization OF
the Daily Worker editorial staff for the cam
paign. That has not taken place, and the Party
cannot permit its central organ, the best agi-
tator the best organizer of the Party to remain
partly passive in such an important drive as
the present one carried on by the Party. Passiv-
ity is one of the right dangers that threaten
the Party.
We that the results of the drive
will be greater when the Daily Worker and the
other Party press following its example are
throwing themselves intellectually and with
complete Bolshevik energy into the campaign,
when every column of the Daily reflects the
drive for strengthening the Party, building the
basis for organization of real Party of the
masses, real boshevik CP in the United
States of Wall street.

SOUTHERN COTTON MILLS
AND LABOR

Bessemer City, N. c., under N.T.W. leader
ship have been under way, numerous otheE
spontaneous strikes have broken out in various
centers in the Carolinas, Georgia and Tenness
see. Many of these have been directed againsS
the stretch-out system and have been locally
led. In some cases, the operatives have MAIDS
a settlement with management and have reb,t
turned to work, still non-unonized; in othe&
instances the NT.W. or the U.T.W. have es-
tablished locals. Those workers who have had
previous experience with the U.T.W. will have
nothing to do with this organization, feeling
too keenly their treatment from it in the paste
but among the inexperienced, the first union
help offered has been gladly received.
In this present strike wave, the U.T.W. has
pursued its policy of stepping in after strike
situation has developed advising some quick
form of settlement, enrolling members, and then
practically withdrawing all active work in that
locality. However, the National Textile Work
ers' rapid development has led the U.T.W. to
greater efforts, in order to hinder its rivals
growth This basis for its recent activities
in the south is set forth in its organ, "The
Textile Worker" for April, 1929. An editorial
from a southern conservative paper is also
quoted welcoming the U.TW. as the southern
manufacturers protector against Communist
unionism. "The Textile Worker comments
that an U.T.W. campaign in the south among
the now fully aroused operatives twill bring
to all concerned contentment and peace" The
editor goes on to make it clear that U.T.W.
officials wish to cooperate with the mills sin
introducing modern methods of manufacturing
to reduce costs. The union sees the Importance
of reducing costs that are proven to be un-
necessarily high as result of waste or in
efficiency on the part of labor or management,
but we are opposed to imposition of any plan
applying only to labor and without consultation
with the workers and their representatives"

At the present writing, labor both north and
south, is rallying to defense work, and the Ma
tional Textile Workers unonizing campaign is
proceeding at an even greater pace. Over ninety
mill committees, with membership OF 5000,
have been organized in the SOUTH Although
Loray mill is again operating on an open-shop
basis the Gastonia local of the N. L. w. con-
tinues to grow and consolidate its strength,
and the Loray operatives say they are deter
mined to seize the first opportunity OF renew
ing the struggle.
During August these workers won their first
victory when the mill companies of CASTOR
County announced a decrease of five hours IN
the working week with no cuts in wages. This
change which affects over twenty thousand
workers, including those of Loray mill, constl-
tutes an admission on the part OF textile own
ers of the growing power of the National Tex
tile Workers in the south Having failed in
their attempts to terrorze their employees
into submission, the mill companies are tur-
ming to concessions means of last resort
for stemming the spread of unionism into the
south.
But nothing can stop the revolt of Dixie mill
hands, now under way. One striking evidence
of this was the recent southern conference of
the National Textile Workers Union and Trade
Union Unity League, held in Charlotte, N. c.
In spite of police terrorism and great financial
difficulties, 1913 delegates were present, from
sixty cities and five states, representing,
it is estimated, about $4,000 workers. All were
united in their determination to fight the mill
barons, and program was adopted for estab-
fishing the N. T. w. throughout the south A
significant fact about this conference was the
complete abolition of the Jim Crow system,
with colored and white delegates sitting side
by side, and freely intermingling. When dele
gates of both races emphasized the Importance
of joint action toward a common goal, they
were roundly applauded. This indicates the sub
stantial advance made by these southern work
ers, under revolutionary guidance, over their
former race prejudices.
While organized strikes at Gastonia and

Our Party has not yet been penetrated by
the spirit of campaigning that is necessary, II
we are going to carry thru the tasks set by
the Party in the membership drive. So far
we have not yet even succeeded to penetrate
the Daily Worker, the central organ OF our
Party, with the consciousness of real cam
,,aigning spirit. Some of the departments OF
the Daily Worker still go along as if the MEM
bership drive did not exist for them, IN spite
of the fact that the Party decided that all the
forces of the Party should be modified for
this recruiting of new members, strengthening
Of old shop nuclei building of new shop nuclei,
issuing OF new shop papers, gaining new sub
scribers on the Daily Worker, selling and dis
tributing Party literature, etc. The DAILY
Worker contains few articles written espe-
cially for the drive, and hardly anything else,
except that the editorial department has paid
attention TO the drive in some leading articles
since the beginning Of our campaign. More
than two weeks have passed and the Daily
Worker still does not put in all its energy IN
assisting this most important drive Of the
Party. How will we be able to mobilize our
more than 20 language papers for the drive,

unknown HERO
RESCUES GIRL

A modest, but brave young man
succeeded today in eoncealing his
identity from police who investigated
his feat of saving the life of a 22-
year.old girl.
The unnamed hero plunged into
the muddy waters OF the Potomac
River, near Hains Point, to rescue
Miss Barbara Parsch. of the 100
block of @ ST. N. W., from a watery
grave He succeeded
Never mind me-save the horse. ;"
Such was the cry of Miss Parsch
when the unknown swimmer went to
her aid. The girl was far more
alarmed over the sudden plunge of
her horse Ginger" than over her
own plight.
Police of the Harbor Precinct and
attaches of the American Automobile
Association picked up pet dog IN
their efforts to locate the person rel
sponsible for the incident. The dog
was said to have attacked the horse
when Miss Parsch was out for her
usual morning ride.
The policemen and automobile
authorities also pulled Ginger"
from the river.
