PECK'S CLUB

BY JOE HOLMAN
CHICAGO, June 13. - Watch
those Cleveland Indians. Ameri,
can League pennant asptrants are
sounding this warning today.
The AS and Griffmen have
skidded woefully Of late. In the
meantime, Roger Peckinpaugh's
Tribesmen have uncovered their
best form Of the season.
As q result Of their recent
Spurt, the Indians yesterday
dis Odged the Washington
club from second place. One
half q game ahead Of the
Walter JehnsOns, they are
today only one game re-
moved from the pace-setting
. Athletics.
Both the Elephants and Griffs
have flatered niserably during
their current western swings. The
league leaders have broken ex
actly even in 10 starts, while th9
washington club has dropped
four Of seven tits.
While their rivals have COM
ported themselves in this wobbly
fashion, the tribesmen have
clicked famouSly. Seven sue
cesses in eight contests marks
their showing against interSec.
tional foemen.
The only loss charged the
Indians during their present
home stand against Eastern
opponents was administered
by the Red SOx In an over
time struggle.
Superlative pitching backed by
robust slugging establishes the
1880 Cleveland CLUB as first
rate pennant prospect. And, rest
assured, the progress Of Peckin-
puaeh's gang will be closely
watched by seven other American
League pilots hereafter.
Their inability to do no better
than break even with the west
ern clubs has denoted the Griff-
men to third place in the Amer
ican League marathon.
Two fOemen, the Indians
and Browns, hold seasonal
edge over Walter JOhnSOn's
team. During their first swing
Eastward the Brownies bag
ged two or three games. The
Tribesmen, in two series, have
captured three of four starts.
The balance this account the
Griffmen have taken three of five
mods from the Tigers and four
games out of a possible six from
the White Sox.
It is obvious that the Griffmen,
In order to get anywhere during
the present championship grind,
must improve their play against
the West. Especially when it is
considered that their early sea-
son door mats, the AS and Yam
KEGS, may be expected to cause
plenty of trouble hereafter.

theological capacitation of the native masses
of Peru has developed, can affirm that this
capacitation loses its strictly feminist content
and likewise its class character given to all
the revolutionary activities developed in the
country by on fallen comrade.
Lima, capital of Peru, represented in the
Spanish colonies, the city typically feudal of
. the South American region. Capital of the
Viceroy, the richest the Spanards had in Latin
America, Lima was the seat of the Spanish
feudal nobility, of the conquerors, as previously
Cuzco had been of the native nobility.
Lima, which lies on the slopes of the noun
tains very near the coast, had backward in
fluence on the country. English imperialism,
which conquered the country economically
after independence" was won from Spain, had
little other relation with it than carrying away
in ships the gold and silver of its fabulous
mines
It appears that the industrialization, slightly
developed though it may be, the import
Of Yankee capital which usually bears with it
some small measure of capitalist culture even
though it develop only the extractive industries
in fields and mines, has failed to make much
impression on the spirit of the middle ages
and the capital of Peru with it's 100000 in
habitants lives in veritable feudal atmosphere.
In part this is due to the influence of the
Catholic church. Inc SLOW awakening OF the
toiling masses, recently brought into the Latin
Apercan revolutionary movement as conse-
quence of the period Of proletarian revolutions
was more than difficult, gigantic task of the
formation of revolutionary theology.
In rational philosophy, the spiritual mo-
daties of people have been classified by
Marx and Engels as thoughts of men deter
mined by their manner of living. And through
feudal economy, through a sem-feudal life,
feudal mentality had to follow.
The task of Comrade Mariategui in this
sense was titanic equivalent to the task of the
Communist Party of the United States in the
South in establishing the absolute equality of
the Negro with the white-to establish in
Peru the absolute equality of the semi-slave
Indians with the whites and the half-bred
"meztizo.
Mariategui went to Europe in 1921. At the
time he was one of the outstanding literary
critics Of that part of America. And this
talent was sacrificed from then on to more
noble and virle cause to which he dedicated
all his activities thereafter. In Germany, Mari

1t has become clear to every worker now
that this prediction of the R1.L.U. was correct
1t is clear now that this was only beginning
of period of struggle that has now grown to
greater maturity. By actual instances what
has this meant in America? What are the
facts?
GastOnia.
The struggles at Gastonia were born at the
beginning of this turn. Gastonia is section
of the country that opens up wider and wider
masses of the American population for class
battle. The struggle around Gastonia was one
of the greatest battles ever put up by Amer
lean workers against the capitalists Of this
country. Gastonia was an open battle and not
a picnic. and was led by the Trade Union Unity
League-the American section Of the. R.1LU.
Then there were many other battles in the
South--Marion, Elizabethton. Greenville and in
other parts of the country (thH Illinois miners
strike that swept Southern Illinois, part of
Indiana, etc. were also fierce struggles that
have been carried on by the workers in this
period of intense class battles.

qualities. Hence, when he was buried, work

Organizer, Section Eight

IN the Central Committee call on the Daily
Worker campaign on April l the Central
Committee has correctly pointed out how the
Daily Worker can and must become the col
lective organizer of the working class. For
the first time the Central Committee has put
the Daily Worker Campaign as political task
for every Party member At the same time it
has mapped out concrete plan of action and
part of this plan has also been applied in con-
crete manner to Section Eight.
Since there are no big factories in the sec
ton on which to concentrate nevertheless Dali
ly Workers are sold and distributed to those
factories that the units have concentrated on.
Starting April s. our section has had so far
three Red Sundays.
Some comrades were pessimistic as to the
results that can be achieved through these
Red Sundays but the actual experience taught
the comrades different lesson. For the last
three Sundays that they have participated III

houses we have obtained so far 12G weekly
carrier service; as monthly subs, and five
three monthly subs. total of 1879 subs col
lected. Out of these 100 are Negro workers
who subscribed Comrades reported that the
Negro workers especially were very eager to
SeI inc pdpSl.
In some cases the Negro workers pledged
that they would stop reading the Brooklyn
Eagle and other capitalist newspapers and read
the Daily Worker. In one instance a Negro
woman, the wife of an ex-service man who is
unemployed and suffers misery and starvation
said: I'm going up to the neighbors, on the
train and all over to talk to the women and
tell them to read the Daily Worker. Because
that's the only paper that tells me the truth
about things"
Many valuable connections were established
for the A.N.L.C. and here is some experience
of the comrades of what the workers think of
the Communist Party.
In one case con1rade who went out had to
prove to Negro family that he is a member
of the Communist Party, otherwise they would
not talk to him. At first the worker thought
that he is merely an agent of some paper and
said: ooh, | have enough of that bunk" But
when the comrade told him he was a Red the
worker became more sympathetic. Not until
the comrade showed him his membership book
did the Negro worker subscribe to the Daily
Worker, took him into the house, spoke with
him and invited him to breakfast.
How Did We Get These Results?
(a) We picked a working-class territory

especially of Negro workers. We divided this
territory into routes three blocks each.
(b) Every committee of two that goes out
must attend this route from house to house.
(c) In some cases they gave The Daily
Worker first sample copy This canvas
ing is done the same basis as on the cleo
ton precincts The number of subs which we
have gotten is located in an area of IA square
blocks along the streets of Atlantic, Fulton
and Dean SITS.
Our Shortcomings in the Work.
While doing this work the comrades were
convinced that the workers are ready to listen
to US, to follow the Party and eager to get
more information about the Communist Party.
The comrades realized that the workers are dis
illusioned about the capitalist press The Daily

same time must note that this valuable
work has been neglected b. the bulk Of the
membership in section. Only as much as
20 to so comrades responded to these Red Sur
days In one case out of 81 members whc
responded 13 were new members. The new
members had to encourage the older Party
members to go out AS in the case Of one
worker who is in the Party only ak weeks

We failed so far to draw in the good class
conscious sympathizers in the section in this
important work, because this work by coming
in touch with the workers is valuable lesson
to every class conscious worker who goes out.
We did not get as yet a responsible comrade
who would take the job of delivering The Daily
Workers in the houses, for we have found that
we cannot rely on the post office TO deliver the
papers because we found that the papers are
not delivered in the homes of these workers.
To Consolidate Our Gains.
The Section is calling conference of all
Daily Worker readers and sympathzers Of The
Daily Worker for Sunday, May IL, at 10 a.
m. sharp, at the Workers Center. los That
ford Ave, Brooklyn, for the purpose Of con-
solidating organizationally these contacts. At
this conference we intend to lay the basis for
an organization of Daily Worker readers for
the purpose Of regular sales of The Daily
in front of factories, spreading the Daily in
more proletarian districts, checking up on the
newsstands, and establish The Daily Worker
in our territory as an important factor in lead
ing the struggles of the workers in our terri
tory At the same time we hope to establish
a regular workers correspondence body. That
shall reflect on the column of the Daily, the
life and struggles of the workers.

By JAMES w. FORD.

THE Fifth Congress of the Red International
of Labor Unions takes place in July, on the
tenth anniversary of the RI.L.U. Ten years
of militant revolutionary leadership for the
masses against the policy and practice of class
peace and partnership with the capitalist class
advocated by the reformist trade union bureau
cracy-is of very great significance to the
workers. But this is not the most important
and decisive thing in connection with the con-
vening of the Fifth Congress of the RLL.U.
Of this Fifth Congress we must ask our
selves very many vital questions of present
day class struggles What is the R.LL.U. in
this period of great class battles of the work
ers throughout the world? We must ask what
does this new congress this Fifth Congress
of the R.IL.u.-mean to the workers here in
America? And then proceed to analyze our
preparations for this congress on this basis.
1t does not, however, take difficult theoret-
cal discussions to answer these questions. The
Fourth Congress of the R.LLU. 1929 said
in no unmistakablc terms that the working
class is in the beginning of period of great
class battles of the workers against the cap
italist bosses, that we will not only face tie
capitalist class on the streets and in the shops
and factories but we must be prepared and
expect also to meet their agents-tbe fascist
trade union bureaucrats, and the socia-refor-.
mists, who will shoulder to shoulder with the
capitalists be found fighting against the work
ers, and that therefore our struggle must be
