VANITY OF THE MALE

In a year $75O,0O0,0OO is spent in the barber shops of the United States, according to sta tistics. Less than two-thirds of that sum is spent for the essent- ial shave and haircut. The re- maining portion represents messages and hair tonics. This should dissuade some men from chiding the female of the species for her vanity. Men are in fact becoming as much concerned as women with the care of the face. Beauty par lors are giving more attention to woman's hair, while the bar Der shop is diverting it's attent- ion to mans face.
 There are several reasons for the prodigality with which the American males spend their time and money in the barber shops. Social custom requires that the hair be cut frequently and the face kept closely shaved. Prosperity and the

THE STORE CLERK and YOU

It makes quite a difference what kind of service you get from the people who hand over goods to you ina a retail store.
 Do they just hand them over and then turn away with an in- different look? Or do they seem interested in what you desire and anxious to please you? Or are some of them of the type who are so anxious to sell you that they do not stop to consider what your wishes and needs may be, but just tr y to put over on you something they think you will buy, and do it in the least poss- ible time? That is the kind of service one sees frequently when we go away from home where the clerks never saw us before and never expect to see us again.
 When you buy in Hyder you get service with personal inter- est and personal attention to what you want, because the home store people know you, or at least wish to do so. They consider not merely selling you something this time, but pleasing you so we'll that you will come again.
 And that is another reason why in the long run it pays to trade at home.

BY GUSTAV spBOTTkA (Berlin).

THE financial dictatorship of Schacht,
Rechs Bank President, and of the German
coalition Cabinet has led to an enormous in
crease of unemployment in Germany. Already
at the end of December, 1929, there were
registered million unemployed in receipt of
unemployment and crisis benefit. This num-
Der had increased by 100000 in January OF
this year. In addition there is great number
of unemployed, amounting to at least 1,500,-
600, who do not receive any unemployment
benefit, so that at present there are over
So million proletarians without work and
bread.
The further development of capitalist
economy in Germany, the increased rational
ization drive, the ruthless cutting down of
credits, will further augment the army of
unemployed.
In view of this situation the unemployed
masses and the German proletariat are begin
ming to realize that the struggle against UNI
employment and hunger cannot be restricted
to demanding an increase of unemployment
benefit, but that it is in the first place poll
teal mass struggle against the whole CAPT.
talist society and its apparatus of power. AS.
= result there have taken place IN various
towns of Germany, under the leadership of the
Communist Party, hunger marches and fight
ing actions of the unemployed and of the
workers in the factories against the regime
of plumber and exploitation
In Berlin, on February 1st, the mass march
of the working class once again trampled UNI
derfoot the prohibition of demonstrations. In
spite of the actual state of martial law. in
spite of armored cars, in spite of the greatest
preparations of the police AMI the widest at.
tacks. thousands and thousands of hungry
proletarians marched in closed ranks in all
districts of Berlin. At Wedding. where again
and again fresh professions of demonstrators
were formed, many. workers were arrested but
only to be wrested by the masses from the
hands of the police. In Moabit the demon
stratng masses put the police to flight. In
the center of Berlin the workers showed by
several demonstrations that for them there
exists no ban-mile or prohibition of demon
strations. On the Lausitz Square huge masses
of workers gathered together, which the po-
lice were unable to dispense. In Nieder and
Ober-Schoneweide the demonstrating workers
were masters Of the streets until the late
hours of the evening. In the old barricade
quarters of Neukolln the workers erected
barrier in order to prevent the police from
marching into the workers streets.
The bourgeois and social-democratic press,
which before the LIST Of February, raised
great shouting over the "putch plans" and
attempts at Instruction of the Communists,
has become very quiet in view of the success
Of the Communist action in Berlin. 1t is now
trying to minimize this action. "The COM

LESSONS OF RECRUITING
DRIVE IN NEW BEDFORD
Party are not properly carried through.
Activize New Members.

Activize New Members.
Nevertheless, during the week following the
Memorial Meeting we received ID applications
into the Party. This in itself proves that
these workers did not blindly join the Party in
the heat of the enthusiasm of the meeting, but
took several days to consider and actually pre-
pare themselves to Join our Party, not because
they thought it was a good thing to do" but
because they were ready to fight with the
Communist Party in its every struggle. We
have already placed most of our new members
into their units and mill nuclei. This lesson
must be learned--that the energy and enthu-
sasm of our new Party members can and must
be exploited to very great extent, and that
if it is not utilized we will find our new menu
bers become discouraged, and it is very diff
ficult to activize them after we have allowed
slump in their interest.
For the recruiting drive of the Young Com
munist League must say it has been fail
ure. Although we have recruited some 20
young workers (mostly textile) into the League,
no attempts have been made to organize these
young workers into their mill nuclei. Here We
have problem-about 20 of the 80 members
of the Y.CL. are unemployed, this situation,
where the young workers realize that they are
permanently unemployed, encourages axness
not only on their part, but also on our. How
ever, one shop nucleus has been organized,
in the only BVD factory in the city. This fac
tory employs only young workers who are very
much exploited and the nucleus has before it
definite tasks. The Party must give more
attention to the League, and in all phases of
our work, the Party must help the League
establish its leadership among the young work
ers..
In the Fight For Work or Wages.
Now in our preparations for the unemploy-
ment demonstration and our fight for "Work
or Wages at every unemployment meeting,
more and more workers are joining our Party.
The plan of work which our Section Com
mittee worked out for the unemployment CAM
paign and demonstration on March 6, concrete
ly points out how to mobilize the full member
ship OF the Party, League, NTWU, and other
mass organizations. These plans also plan to
activize the Party units, giving them concrete
tasks The fraction of the union must be &C
tivzed to put into effect all the plans for the
mobilization of the full membership for the
demonstration The question of recruiting
more Party members from the union should
be one of the main points at every fraction
meeting. The union is great field for re-
cruiting new Party members. However, in
spite of all our shortcomings and mistakes,
we are confident that we will fulfill our quota
for new members. But even then, our task is
not completed Our main job is to activize
all our new members and to make our nuclei
the real functioning political units of our Party
that will be prepared to lead the workers in
their everyday struggles.

The Hunger March OF the German
Working Class

ton on account of lack of participants" such
were the big headlines of the bourgeois and
social-democratic press after the LIST of Feb
ruary. The democratic "Tempo" however
blurted out the truth when it wrote: "The
Lausitz Square was almost empty at half past
five, but overflowing with people at 6 o'clock.
From all the converging streets smaller and
bigger groups streamed into the square. The
Communists were. not to be driven away but
put up energetic resistance to the police"
The hunger march of the unemployed to
Hamburg was a powerful demonstration In
Hamburg itself there are 100000 unemployed.
In all the neighboring towns and villages it
decided to march to Hamburg on the LIST
of February. Several days ago great masses
of unemployed began their march from Kiel,
Lubbock, Itzehoe, Flensburg, etc. The Ham
burg bourgeosie and the social democracy
were seized with panic. Schonfelder, the So
ca fascist police president of Hamburg, and
Grzesinsk, the Prussian Minister for the In
terror, modified all the police forces not only
of Hamburg but Of the whole of Schleswig-
Hostein.
In spite of this extraordinary display q
police forces whole professions of demonstra-
tons succeeded in getting to Hamburg. On
proceeding to Hamburg. 1t was attacked by
mounted police. the demonstrators were ar
rested, placed in wagons and transported back
to Flensburg. In the meantime another pro-
cession of demonstrators from Flensburg sue
ceeded in marching, to Hamburg by another
road.
The most brutal persecution and the use
of batons could not prevent the unemployed
from mn inf NH V1yhor n hiop
Z. demonstration of the unemployed and the
Hamburg workers took place in Holstein
Square. The police tried everything in order
to crush the workers. In the ensuing fight
between the police and the workers one un-
employed was killed mad six workers wounded.
The Hamburg workers at once convened
conference of the shop stewards and decided
to carry out 24-hour political mass strike,
which for the greater part was carried out on
the LIST of February. Over so per cent Of
the building workers struck work on this day.
Also great masses of the dock and metal
workers struck as protest against the police
brutalities.
In Pima (Saxony) over 1000 unemployed
marched on the 18th of January from the sur
rounding localities to the chief market square
and demonstrated against the government Of
hunger and war, for work and bread. Here
also the police were helpless in face Of this
demonstration. The same week, the unem-
ployed Of the district Of Konigsberg deter
mined on a march on Kongsberg Similar
decisions were adopted in many other places.

marches is expressing its determination to put

By HELEN OXEN.

IN New Bedford where the economic crisis CT
capitalism has hit the workers very severely
where there are $4,000 unemployed workers,
where the are wage cuts and speed up sys-
TENS being introduced every day, throwing
more and more workers out on the streets,
we find the Party gaining more and more sup
port from the masses of workers
Our quota for the recruiting drive was 70
new members. new shop nuclei, and shop
bulletins Our enthusiasm ran so high tnat
we raised the quota for new members to ~.
Our members were so confident that they could
fill these quotas that we challenged the city
of Boston, which contains Sections NO. l, z,
and 3 to fulfill our quota before they did. Our
recruiting of new members has been carried
on successfully, no so much through oar eff
forts, but through the confidence of the work
ers of New Bedford in the Communist Party.
To date we have recruited So new members
into this section and organized new shop
nuclei one in a textile mill and the other IN
a glass factory. Two shop papers have already
been issued. From the quotas, 1t looks as
though we are going ahead strong but the
question arises, have we done all that we could
to build our Party here? Not yet! Due to our
organizational weaknesses, we could not take
proper advantage of our opportunities for
building strong Party and recruiting hun
dreds of workers into the Party.
History of Struggle.
New Bedford has behind it the history OF
struggles and strong fighting spirit-this spirit
has not yet been utilized and drawn into chan
nails of strong organizational work. Here we
have had many failures during the recruiting
drive. The Lenin Memorial meeting in itself
was failure in that we did not recruit
single member at the meeting. This failure
again was not due to the poor response of the
workers, but rather due to our failure to prop
erly mobilize them. Because of the organiza-
tional looseness of the Union-( National Tex
tile Workers Union, the mass organization
which has behind it thousands of members and
the events Immediately preceding the Lenln
Memorial Meeting, resulting in the arrests OF
all our organizers and IA active workers the
preparations for the meeting were started just
three days before the date set for it. The lead
ers of our Party and union here were so taken
back by the unexpected turn of events and the
arrests, that we failed to mobilize the workers
in an organized fashion, trusting that the revo-
lutionary character of the workers here would
bring them to our Lenin Memorial Meeting.
We closed our eyes to the fact that now, when
the proletariat is becoming more and more
militant, due to the ever increasing rationale
cation and unemployment, that now more than
ever before they need a strong Communist
leadership; and that with this leadership and
more careful preparation alone, could we mob
ilize thousands of workers for the Lenin Mem
orial Meeting. 1t is due to seemingly minor
mistakes like these that the major tasks of our
