Bolshevizing the Party in
Chicago,
Negro Work and the Recruiting
Campaign.

IN the good old days" of the ''civil war"
within our Party, Negro work and the Negro
problem was used as football for fractional
struggle In the Chicago District there was
no Negro Department functinoning. Only one
comrade who had no experience nor sufficient
Communist understanding was doing what he
thought was best. As a result we had meetings
in churches opened and closed with prayers by
preachers and singing of hymns. When pro-
tests were raised against this and demand
was made that an article by Lenin on Religion
and the Party shall be published for the en-
lightenment of the Comrades, Mr.. Kruse, then
District Organizer objected to this. A resolu-
ton was passed putting all the blame on the
one comrade, without mentioning the District
Negro Committee that did not function and who
was actually responsible.
A House to House Drive.
At the present time, with factionalsm de-
stroyed the work of the Party in general, and
Negro work in particular, is making Roadway.
During the recruiting campaign Section de-
cided to obtain at least Is new Negro members.
The Negro Department of the section was
organized and ordered to arrange mass meet
ing in Negro territory.
The Negro Department of Section which
is on the border line with Section 5, was in
FlJeu TO cooperate dS well as lLe l I'll. Ap-
peals were made at section membership meet
ings for volunteers to distribute circulars and
sell "The Liberator" in Negro territory. The
comrades understood the significance of this
distribution and 35 volunteered. The YCL also
promised to send help. On New Years day,
when the distribution to take place, it was
raining all day. and yet, 81 out of the 35 showed
up and went out to bring our message to the
Negro workers They went from house to house
speaking to people, selling literature, distribut
ing the circulars. Almost in every house they
were welcome
Many good contacts were made and some

not furnish even n member for this distribu-
ton. One member of the YCL, who happened
to step into the district office, was coaxed into
going out with one Party member
Organizational Shortcomings.
The meeting was advertised for eight o'clock.
By 7:30, the hall began to fill up with white
and Negro workers. At eight the hall was
packed and every available chair in the build
ing was brought into this hall. The speakers
were not there. At S:15 an emergency call

ton Committee must, of course, pass final
judgment on the applicant but he must not
wait weeks for this OK. While all applications
go through the District Committee as a mat

member into the Party, unless there is
dispute in some exceptional cases. In the
case of non-proletarian elements, probation
periods may be imposed.

IT is already an age-old truth in the Amer
lean labor movement that one can always
tell whether a movement has influence or not
by the number of boss politicians that try to
attach themselves to the coat-tails of the
working class That truth has been a~ain
proven in the state of North Carolina.
The Communist Party has pointed out time
and again that in the South new regiments of
the working class are being born, and that
they are being welded thru struggle into "the
iron battalions of the working class" Fur
Their, the Communist Party has pointed out
the~birth of new contingent of the working
class comes because of the fact that the South
is rapidly being changed from vast farm

THE above letter from worker, anxious to
join our Party, gives a correct criticism of
the Party. Too often we content with re-
cruiting application cards" and not
tive members. The present system where
workers applying for membership in the Party
must wait four to six weeks before being called
to the nucleus for acceptance-and sometimes
worse, never being accepted by the nucleus at
all--must be eliminated.
Many workers will become discouraged wait
ing for their applications to go through the
red tape of various executives. A worker
who signs application card must be given
the most detailed attention and consideration,
so that we keep him or her, and develop them
into revolutionary fighters of the Communist
Party
No worker applying for membership in the
Party should need wait more than one week or
ten days before being called to a nucleus for
acceptance and prior to that time letter.
greeting the action of this worker should have
been sent him.
We must orentate more toward the Party
nucleus accepting new members and then re-
ferring them for final judgment to the Section
Committee Cor membership committee of the
Section Committee) rather than the present
practice of new members being accepted by
one comrade in the District Office. The initi-
ative and responsibility of the nucleus must
be developed in this respect as in all Others
If application cards are handed into the
District Office they should be given over to
the proper nuclei to call the new member, for
examination and acceptance.
Another tendency which has arisen during
the present Recruiting Drive is that workers
must undergo a period of probation in our
Party. This is wrong. However, it is correct
that greater care should be given in examining

Economists.
Recently, the overwhelming majority Of Rus
sian Social-Democrats were almost wholly en-
gagged in this work of exposing factory condi-
tions. 1t is sufficient to refer to the columns
of "Rabochaya Mysl" to judge to what an ex-
tent they were engaged in it. So much so
indeed that they lost sight of the fact that this,
taken by itself, was not substantially Social
Democratic work, but merely trade union work.
As a matter of fact, those exposures merely
dealt with the relations between the workers
in a given trade, with their immediate employ
ers, and all that it achieved was that the VEN
ders of labor power learned to sell their com

chasers of labor power over a purely CONNER
cial deal. Those exposures might have served
(if properly utilized by revolutionaries) as
beginning and a constituent part of Social
Democratic activity but they might also land

labor movement. Social Democrats lead the
struggle of the working class not only for bet
ter terms for the sale of labor power, but also
for the abolition of the social system which
compels the propertyless class to sell itself
to the rich. Social Democracy represents the
working class, not in its relation to a given
group of employers, but in its relation to all
classes in modern society to the state as an
organized political force. Hence, it not only
follows that Social-Democrats must not con-

of economic exposures to become the predo

GIRL FROM HAVANA"
 AT COLISEUM SUNDAY

When Lola Lane, playing the fea- tured feminine role in "The Girl From Havana" deserted the New York stage to become member of the Fox Movietone organization, she brought to this branch of talking pictures, assets and a versatility that few of the present day fea- tured players may rightly claim.
 She brought the singing and dancing experience that she had gained in musical comedy, pretty face, perfect figure, rare dramatic ability-in fact all the essentials.
 Her singing voice was heard in the Fox Moyietone Follies of 1929" singing Big City Blues and is also heard in '"The Girl From Havana" which will reach the screen of the Coliseum Sunday.
 As a girl detective in the latter production, based on a story by John Stone and Edwin Burke and directed by Benjamin Stoloff, her dramatic qualities are given a severe test for she has to mask her real mission of thief chasing behind the role of girl member of trav- cling chorus.
 All of which calls for versatility plus and she easily makes the grade. The denouement, wherein she "gets her man." has a real surprise twist. t1s
 Once more she teams with Paul Page, as they did in "Speakeasy' and other members of the cast include Natalie Moorhead, Kenneth Thompson, Warren Hymer and Adele Windsor

NEW YORK.-The worlds four greatest maritime nations are en- gazing in a titanic cmomercial struggle for the lions share of the. great trans Atlantic steamship tour ist trade.
 Germany, England, France and the United States have each spent and are spending countless mil- lions to lure the majority of tour ists from the other three.
 If the race is to the swift, Ger many has victory in the palm of her hand with her two rotor grey- hounds-the Bremen and the Euro pa. These sister ships have broken all existing records for ocean cross ings.
 A few days ago the Mauretania and Europa raced ship to ship from Cherbourg. The Mauretania left the French port twenty minutes after the North German Lloyd ves- sel. but reached New York harbor exactly four hours and nineteen minutes after her.
 Four days and twenty-three hours was consumed by the winner in the trip, and this was by no means the best time she has ever made. On her maiden voyage she sped across the Atlantic in four days seventeen hours and six min utes.
 Until the launching of these two German speed champions, the sym dicates controlling the trans-At- lantic steamers were satisfied to al- low the Mauretania to retain her laurels. In constructing their boats they concentrated more on devices for the comfort of their passengers than on achievement of new speed records.
 The prestige and worldwide pub licity given the German boats, how ever, has awakened rival nations to the value of speed, and all of them

 Both the United States and Eng land lay claim to having the largeI steamer afloat, England's candidaIe for first honors in this direction being the s. S. Berengeria, which possesses the greatest tonnage How ever Uncle Sam's s. s. Leviathan exceeds it in length.
 The pride of the French passen- ger service lines is the He de France, with appointments that outi do in splendor anything that has ever been seen on any of the seven seas.
 In the expensive game of turing tourist trade aboard their ships, the French emphasize their excellent Icuisine and the perfection of then lsteward service. z They also proffer the famous IGallic wines as magnate for con- lnoisseurs. For years American ves- Isels were handicapped in this re- Ispect. While the Yankee boats were under the Government wing liquor could only be sold surrepti- Itiously Now that private parties have taken over our ships, every thing in the beverage line may be sold across and above the ships bar that is beyond the Emile limit.

TELLS HEROES" IS
 AT PALACE TONIGHT

Raymond Hatton, who piays one ofSthe principal roles in "Hell's He rots,' starting tonight at the Pal atf Theatre, got his start in pie lures by his ability to wear fake beard naturally. In the picture he wears a red beard of six weeks growth.
 Hatton, who was born in Red oak, Ia, evinced an interest in act- ing when he was still child. His parents objected, and Hatton ran away and joined circus. He spent considerable time with stock companies, and then came to Holly wqDd.
 His first role was that of a "hick" farmer in George Melford production. He got the part be- cause of his ability to wear fake beard naturally. While working in the picture, his beard caught fire and burned his face.
 For awhile he was a member of that famous police force-the Key stone Kops.
 Hatton has played many comedy and character parts, and is now one ofssthe best known players in films. His part in "Hell's Heroes" is a comedy character role admirably suited to his talents.
