Campaign Develops
New Selling Methods

The campaign so far has developed new
methods of distributing the Daily Worker which
show great possibilities.
Whirlwind meetings for Daily Worker pro-
motion netted 400 sales in New York last week.
Truck and sandwich parades to advertise the
Daily Worker are planned. The Red Builders
News Club in New York, composed of IS job
less workers sold 1890 papers last week as
against 3,1OO the preceding week. House to
house sales, where the paper is sold after dis
cussion with the worker, is developing great
possibilities. The best customers are being
won over to the subscription idea.
4. Sales in subways at 4 a. m. have made il
possible for several Daily Worker sellers to pass
the 400 week mark. Sales are being built up
near factories. Advertising by mass shouting of
the Daily Worker has been found effective
Sales on the day following are found to be better.

PHILA. WORKERS
BLOCK EVICTION
Of Unemployed Negro
Worker

PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 25.-Three
hundred workers under the leader
ship of the Unemployed Council pre-
vented the eviction of Silas Copeland
and his family here yesterday. This
worker who lives at Ass Matua Ave,
has been out of a fiob for several
months and was unable to pay his
rent. He was then served with an
eviction notice and told to get out
on Monday. The Unemployed Coun-
Gil upon finding this out Immediately
modified its members and the work
ers in the neighborhood and prevent
ed the sheriff and police from taking
the furniture out of the house. In
the fight Louis Scott was arrested.
In spite of warning from the
sheriff and dicks not to interfere
with the eviction, 400 workers again
successfully persisted the attacks OF
the police on Friday, with the result
that this Negro worker was not ev1ct-
ed and tn eboss and police had to re-
treat.
Workers of Philadelphia are organ
izing into Unemployed Councils, and
are on the job collecting signatures
for the Unemployed Insurance Bill
to be presented in Congress.

Imperialists Driving to
War; Refuse Facts
on Arms

After exposing the fakeries Of the
imperialist representatives at Gen
eva, gathered at the Preliminary Dis
armament Commission, Maxim Lit
vinoff, head of the Soviet Union dele
cation, has returned to Moscow.
Litvinoff, on the first day of the
commissions meeting pointed out the
hypocrisy of the meeting and sharply
brought out the war danger. Loudon,
of Holland, chairman of the commits
sion, attempted to cut off Litvinoff's
speech because he did not want the
workers throughout the world to
learn the facts. He refused to per-
nit the speech to be translated.
Litvinoff, in bringing out the grow
ing war danger, said that the Danish
representative, Munich, the Belgian
minister, Huysmann, and the repre-
sentative of the washington Post,
admitted that the present situation
in Europe was like the period imme-
diately preceding the last Worlo
War.
"Since 1926" Litvinoff said, 1.-The
war budgets of five of the imperial
list powers had increased by one ano
half billion dollars"
Comrade Litvinoff then declared
that the Soviet delegation would
draw the attention of the commission
to a number of points necessary to
be dealt with if the draft agreement
were not to be impotent from the
| beginning. The Soviet delegation
proposed, l, to substitute the express
sion Limitation of ornaments" by
the expression Limitation and reduc-
ton of ornaments; 2, a reconsider
alton of the points dealing with the
problem of trained reserves, and, g.
discussion of the problem of war
materials. A new discussion of the
whole question would permit a num-
Der of new delegates to suit their &C
ton in commission to their speeches
outside. A negative decision in this
matter would cause the Soviet Union
to lose its interest in the majority
of the points on the agenda.
Later developments in the COM
mission completely confirmed Litvin-
offs speech. A squabble took place
over the question of inserting the
words "linitation of ornaments,
and though the imperialists could
not ignore this question since it had
been broadcasted to the masses, add

ST. PAUL CHEST

Among better than hundred heads
of families, desperate enough to risk
a refusal in spite of what they have
heard about this "reIef" was one
worker trying to get a few groceries
for a wife and sthree children, SO
hungry they are crying for some
thing to eat. Asked for his religion
he supplied the information and was
told to go to his church relief So

society had "aided" the worker by
suggesting the "chest" the SNUG, we'll
fed member of the board of control
very "sorrowfully" explained that as
he had only recently moved to this
city nothing could be done-in other
words he and his family could starve.
Another case was a worker, father
of six small children, who had ex-
hausted the $12.50 of groceries the
board" had so generously provided
in exchange for four days work -
the maximum allowance regardless
of how large the family may be- He

FINAL RESULTS OF
AUSTRIAN ELECTION

VIENNA-The Communist Party
received 2O,879 votes at the elections,
as compared with 1919 in the 1927
elections; the social democrats
1907, SOB, the christian social party
1,3O3,6O5, the Schober block 429, 425,
the independent Landbund 43,767,
the fascist Heimwehr block 228,3SS
and the national fascists Hitler
group 1O8,445 votes, as against IT,
900 at the last elections.
The social democrats won $4,000
votes in Vienna, but lost $4,000 votes
IN the provinces. A significant fact
of the election is the rapid growth
of national fascist votes, although
they receive no mandate. due to the
Austrian election system which IA
vors the large parties and makes it
practically impossible for smaller
parties to obtain mandates.
The Heimwehr block was lucky to
receive its mandates. 1t received the
necessary basic mandate in Upper
Syria and was thus able to count its
votes over the whole country, which
gave it another mandates. The
votes of the parties which fail to
gain sufficient votes for a basic man
date in any one constituency are
lost.
The press of the christian social
party declares that the election rep
resent a victory for the government.
The new parliament will be called on
Nov. 8, the last day permissible by
the constitution. All signs show that
the fascist parties intend to hang on
to the reins of government at all
costs, as promised by Starhemberg.

Charity Relief"
But what are they doing to help
the needy? Fake charity to exploit
the unfortunate whom they feed and
shelter in return for work done on
the unite plan. They even went so
far as to put the so-called Hotel De
Ginks out of business organization,
and this is now under the manage
ment of organized charity, thus get
ting better chance to exploit the
hungry jobleSs. In both of these
places they are now taking care Of

meeting of the Chest Welfare Fed
Grafton" which was held at the Ho-
tel Davenport on Friday, Nov. IA, it
was decided that something has to
be done for the married men at once,
as Mr.. Davies very rightly said:
Hungry men won't wait" So after
lots of pow-wowing at last they
agreed to put 200 men to work i'm
mediately in Indian Canyon to do
some work, 100 men three days and
another 100 men for another three
days at So wages for days work.
Now, if we can take into considera-
ton that the wages for such work
is and has been $3.50 a day we can
see what the proposed charity really
amounts to. "Slashing the wages
for the workers more than half" A
