SARGENT GIVES
| CRATER PAROLE
Miller, Daugherty Pal,
Is Let Loose

WASHINGTON, March 6. p The
parole from Atlanta Penitentiary of
Colonel Thomas w. Miller, alien
property custodian convicted of ex-
tensive graft and sentenced to IS
months, was the last official act Of
Attorney General Sargent, just be-
fore he turned over his office to
William d. Mitchell.
Since Sargent was going out Of
office anyway, it was thot better by
administration chiefs that he re-
lease the associate of Attorney-G Gen
eral Daugherty and collector of big
graft from German property owners
who wanted their factories back
when the war was over.
Miller was connected with hold
up scheme by which the American
Chemicals Co., German owned, had
to pay a hundred thousand in Lib
erty bonds before they could do bust
ness again. Daugherty was tried for
this offense also, but got clear.
Evidence at TIE trial showed the
bonds were laid on bed in a hotel
room and split three ways. The
prosecution charged Daugherty got
some of them.

adopt if such workers are employed
there. Not only does this method
bring out strongly the fact that
there is super-exploitation of these
bodies of workers, but it also en-
courages the workers themselves,
who feel the extra pressure, to re-
spond to appeals for correspondence.
So far only 16 papers devote
special space to the young workers,
and only 5 to the young girls and
women. These are important aspects
of the work and should not continue
to be underestimated in the Party.
Language sections have begun to
develop in few papers. This is of
infinite Importance in reaching the
workers in the shop who don't get
our general propaganda, and it Gre
ates a special confidence of these
workers in the paper and consequent
ly in the Party. Of course this is
feasible only in plants that employ
large sections of one foreign ma
tionality.
The Chicago Harvester Worker
dist. 81 appeals to the workers in
italian and in Polish to write to the
paper in their own languages. The
Hattie Carnegie Worker dist. p ap-
peals to the great number of Ital-
ian needle trades workers in the shop
by writing special articles in their
own language. The Soss Worker
dist. p has special Italian and
special Spanish section, and the
Workers Blade dist. p has a spec
ial Spanish page. This compare
lively recent innovation ought to be
adopted throughout the Party.
The Mascot (Dist. p in several
issues included a feature which ought
to become prevalent throughout the
country-a conversation carried on
between two workers, one of them
necessarily class-concious, who ex-
plains, and the other who who doesn't
understand much, but is willing to
learn. In this way the imperceptible
wage-cutting tricks of the boss were
explained step by step in one issue,
and another issue explained how the
boss works up prejudice between ma
tionalities and exploits it to his own
advantage. Here again a centralized
distributing apparatus for shop pa
per work would be valuable. Such

neglect to carry the address with
the appeal. Some of them have the
address elsewhere in the paper, il
is true, but it would take only two
or three lines to repeat the address
and would be much more likely to
make the worker "obey that i'm
pulse" Immediately in matter that
is so easily postponed on any ex-
cuse.
Some neglect putting in any adj
dress whatever in their papers, and
three papers have neither address
nor an appeal to write in. Even
where the address is given, it is
sometimes so obscure that the work.
er could not easily find it when he
wants it. Sometimes the address is
put inconspicuously at the end of a
long and involved article, which
means that only the worker who
reads the article through, would find
it. And in several instances the adj
dress was hidden in the body of long
articles.
The best way to do is follow the
regular newspaper practice Of print
ing all the necessary information
about the paper in a box in the top
corner of one of the pages, as the
Ford Worker dist. y and some
others do. This box contains the
name of the paper, who issues it,
how often, the address, and the sub
scription and single copy rates. The
Soss Worker dist. p has special
box for the address, showing a
worker carrying letter to the mail
box-suggestive and conspicuous.
Every appeal to join the Party
should give the address of the Party.
Every ~7peal to read the Daily
Worker should carry an address
where it can be obtained-all of
these addresses, even if it means
repeating an address on every page
or several times on a page, should
be given, for it pays to make it as
easy as possible for the worker to
find the place he wants.
Conclusion.
There are some aspects of shop
paper work that cannot be covered
even in such an extensive series as

Marty Defies Rulers;
Says Labor Voted to
Free All POliticals
II. L. D. Ne,vs Service)

PARIS, (By MaiD 1.-THE "Hu-
maniten publishes an interview with
Andre Marty, the newly elected
Communist deputy for the consti
tuency of Puteaux.
Marty, it will be- remembered, is
in prison serving sentence of a
years for Insulting" Marshal Foch
by publishing an open letter to
Foch in connection with the latter's
anti-Soviet interventionist plans as
exposed in the famous interview
with a representative of the British
newspaper Referee" In the mean
time, the French Chamber of Depu-
ties has refused to obtain the re-
lease of Marty in order to permit
him to take his seat, whereby the
chamber has shown itself even more
reactionary than the parliament of
the Empire which permitted the i'm
prisoned deputies to take their seats.
Marty declared: 81 don't know
whether the chamber will decide to
secure my release or not, but in any
case, that is not so important. The
workers voted for far more than my
release. They voted for the release
of Menetrier also and for the re-
lease of the 143 other comrades who
are in prison and serving sentences
totalling 933 years of hard labor
for their activities on behalf of the
working class. Not only that, but
their votes also represented warn
ing for all those war-mongers who
are preparing for an Intervention
against the Soviet Union"

count of 1885 words, but the HUI
mantle received only 443 words.
This was checked up by the testi-
ioony of the chief of the Bordeaux
telegraph service.
One whole section was cut out.
This reported that body of work
ers marched before the infantry at
Bordeaux, singing revolutionary
songs, and right into the field where
the soldiers were engaged in maneu-
vers. The soldiers cheered and en-
couraged the workers, despite the
Intervention Of the officers.
Another cut passage related how
the pickets demonstrated before a
large shipyard, which was guarded
by an artillery corps and how they
were cheered by the soldiers, some
of whom joined in the singing of
the International.

sored on their arrival in Paris and

In the case of the world-famous firm
like the Ford, the name Ford Work
er (Dist. Z and 81 means something
in itself, IN the way of speed-up, the
dreaded belt, etc. But what inspira-
ton is there, for example, in name
like The Soss Worker (Dist. q +?
In an iron works some tool or ma
chine can certainly be found which
would supply good name.
Who Issues Paper?
Along with the reluctance already
mentioned previously in showing the
face of the Party and using the
word Communism, goes the even
greater reluctance to issue the paper
officially in the name of the Com
munist nucleus. There are two con-
siderations which prompt this atti-
tude-one that the workers are pref
udiced against Communism and will
not read the paper if officially
Communist, and the other that the
workers in the shop nucleus will be
fired more quickly if discovered. But
as one examines the papers through
out the period since the last conven-
ton, one finds that reluctance van
ishing, somwhat due to the insistence
of the Party mainly due to the fact
that the workers themselves have
realized that as long as they are
going to have a Communist outlook
expressed in what they write, they
might as we'll be open in issuing the
paper in their name.
Now all but four papers are issuing
in the name of either the Communist
nucleus, branch or unit of the w. P,
or by the Communist members in the
plant, or by a group of Communist
workers in the plant. The last des-
ignation is not so good, because it
is better to indicate that there is a
definite unit of the Party working
within the plant. We want the
workers to get used to the idea that
our Party is organizationally based
-on the plant.
In two papers absolutely nothing
is indicated about who issues them.
One was issued by the shop commit
tee, but the second numebr came out
under the banner of the Communist
Party.
This phase of lodging of identity
has been almost entirely overcome,

all other papers of the Workers
(Communist) Party and the Left
wing will also issue special editions
on international Women's Day.
The chief slogans which the Wo-

(Communist) Party has issued for
the demonstrations are: struggle
against the war danger, and fight
capitalist naturalization. The tasks
it has set are: a recruiting drive
to bring women into the Party and
the trade unions, and the building
of the new Left wing unions.
The demonstrations will be only
part of campaign of propaganda
and organization which is to con-
tinue in the Party and the mass

WASHINGTON, March 6.-Allot-
ment of approximately $50,000,000
for river and harbor improvements
in the United States and Hawaii
was announced today by the secre-
tary of war.
More than $11,000,000 was allot-

rivers.
This appropriation is a disguised
expenditure for military purposes,
as it was stated in the debate on
naval appropriations in congress
that it would go for those harbors
and harbor works that would be
useful for rapid embarking of
troops.

ARTICLE No. S.
By GERTRUDE HAEssLER.

0ANASA ~ ~
There are quite number of de-
ails in connection with getting out
shop paper, which, although they
10 not fall into any of the larger
md more important categories into
which this series of articles was d.
nded, are yet of great significance
md must be dealt with.
Choosing Name for Paper.
The name of the paper must mean
something. 1t must instantly bring
20 the mind of the worker in the
hop something related to the shop
'r industry, and indicate action or
aggression of some kind. Many of
'ur papers have hit upon very clever
names. The Station Miners Blast
Dist. 81 is one of the best examples,
and it's twin, the Haddock Miners
light, is also good. The Pennsy
Headlight (Dist. g. and The Head
light (Dist. 13) are both good
names for the railroad industry. The
Wright Propeller (Dist. 2, aero
olane), The Workers Blade (Dist. 2,
'azor factory, and The Spark Plug
dist. 6, auto) all indicate the in
dustry as well as driving force of
some kind or another. The Red
Star is in contradistinction to the
Red Cross, the insignia in the John
son and Johnson sanitary appliances
plant (Dist. q. Not only does it
counterfeit the Red Cross atmos-
phere, but it is world revolutionary
insignia. In the National Biscuit
Company (Dist. q where the Uneeda
Biscuit is manufactured, the name
chosen is Uneeda Workers Cham
pion-a clever name but little too
long to hit just the right note. In
the White Motor Company, the name
of the paper is the Red Motor (Dist.
g..
There are two papers the names
Of which limit the horizon of the
paper-The Packing House Organ
izer (Dist. 10Y and the Northwest
ern Shop News dist. 81.
All the rest of the papers have
rather commonplace names-the
name Of the company or industry,
with the word "Worker" tackled on.

! conversations could be worked up
on every shop issue that is preva-
lent, and also on every phase of
MARKHAM economics, and could be

Daily Worker.
The campaign for the Daily
Worker in the shop has been so well
pushed in the shop papers, that no
more need be said except to urge
the few papers that have neglected
it, to get busy.
Date and Number.
Putting the date on the paper, and
the number of the issue, seems like
an unimportant matter, but why not
try to be as much like a newspaper
as possible? And how much easier
it is to refer to previous issues, or
to certain issues of brother shop pa
papers elsewhere when occasion
arises, to say nothing of making
easier the task of the Party re-
viewer.
Four of our papers do not num-
Der their issues with either volume
or number. Thirteen of them carry
no date. And one paper carries
neither date nor number. 1t is a
small matter, but should not be neg
lected.
The Demands.
Every issue should carry the Of
ficial demands, and if they are pure
ly shop demands, it should be stated
so. The constant repetition of the
demands, shows that the paper is
fighting for consistent policy, but
even more important, should strikes
break out in the factory, the work
ers would already be so familiar
with our particular demands, that
they would be inclined to adopt them,
even in the face of official union re-
sistence. They should be conspicu-
ously placed in each issue, and boxed
if possible. That sets them in class
by themselves in each issue.
Fostering Workers Correspondence.
Appeals by the papers to the
workers to write in shop news are
quite prevalent in our papers, some
making special efforts to gain the
confidence of the worker by prom
