The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1930-01-11
By ALFRED WAGENKNECHT.

The main task before us is to break out of
the narrow circle within which the Daily Work
er functions as observation-disclosures to
lew. Stating 1T sharply, we can say that all
we have been doing for long period is just
talking to ourselves.
Our national mailing list tells the story.
Our readers are mainly Party members and
number of sympathetic workers so scattered
that we can truthfully claim that the Daily
Worker does not give leadership to any COM
pact group of workers in any industry.
Right now, with workers in all industries
ready for struggle against speed-up, low wages,
with capitalism in crisis and unemployment
growing by leaps and bounds, we must be very
frank. The Daily Worker, our Party is not
war hospital filled with nurses at the rear
Of the battle line. We either lead the work
ers in outbreaks, demonstrations, the broad
ening of strikes-or we are not Communists.
We must be frank. There are 100000 steel
workers in Gary and East Chicago. The Daily
Worker mailing list for these two important
centers has just been placed into my hands,
How many Daily Worker subscribers in these
two steel cities, filled with sweating, starving,
extremely exploited workers? Exactly eigh-
teen.
The same situation applies generally. Have
we compact group of coal miners, textile
workers, war industry workers in any large
industrial center, any factory town, any min
ing section who, after day of back-breakng
toll during which their rebellious spirit has
mounted to the "down tools" point, go home
to their Daily Worker, there to find clarified
ton regarding methods of struggle, organiza-
tional needs, leadership in aims and policies?
We have not. Until we have we remain a
blank ~ In an 18-inch cannon. We, therefore,
repeat: Methods to reach workers in basic
and all industries must be devised. Concretely
speaking, we must mobilize large forces of
Party members, under competent leadership

Perth Amboy Challenges
Passaic
Dear comrades:

Dear comrades:
At our last Unit meeting (held recently
we, the members of the Perth Amboy Unit,
decided to challenge the comrades of the Pas
sale Unit, although that Unit is larger in
members. We raised our quota to IL new men,
bers, instead of as per decision of the last
Jersey Section Executive Conference, Dec.
9Th. We challenge your Unit on a Revolutions
airy Competition that our Unit will double our
quota sooner than your Unit will Will you let
us know through the Daily Worker whether
you accept our challenge or not?

REACH THE MASSES AND BUILD
THE PARTY

and centralize our attack upon the one or half
dozen most important industries in every in
dustrlal center We will not win these workers
for the Daily Worker in day, or a week.
We will make contacts and win them after a
steady barrage over period of time, but once
won, they march with us towards revolution.
Lenin must again be quoted The Commu-
mist Press is the agitator educator and organ
izer for our Party. The Party must have GEN.
trail organ, no matter how many other organs
1T publishes, no matter how many district or
gans are established. There is danger in a
localized movement, and in simply language
movement, referring specifically to our Ian
guage press. The central organ must give
leadership to all subsidiary activities and there
fore, our Daily Worker must live and grow.
Political outbreaks, demonstrations, strikes,
throughout the United States must be related
and co-ordnated. The workers in each indus
try must become acquainted with the struggle,
problems and revolutionary tasks that face
workers IN all industries. The Negro masses
must be closely connected with the white prole-
tariat. Colonial rebellions, strikes in other i'm
perialist countries, the increasing number of
conferences held cloaked in the poison
gas Of peace parleys, international mobiliza-
ton of imperialist nations against the Soviet
Union, exposure of reactionary leaders, reform
lists and renegades, the growing crisis, unem-
ployment, the broadening struggles-thes,
problems our Party center gives uninterrupted
consideration to, enunciates policies and con-
crete tasks, which then the Daily Worker, in
news and articles, places before the Party
membership and should place before hundreds
of thousands Of workers.
We must change the SHOULD place" to Eve
do" The workers in all industries must be
reached. One thousand subscribers in Gary
will very soon mean 500 Party members among
these steel workers.
Lenin said in 1902, when the problem of es-
tabishing central revolutionary organ in
Czarist Russia was being debated: "And /
continue to insist that we start establishing
real contacts only with the aid of common
newspaper as a single, regular All-Russia en-
terprise, which will summarize the results of
all the diverse forms Of activity and thereby
stimulate our people to march forward un-
tiringly along all the innumerable paths which
lead to the Revolution. The mere functions
of distributing newspaper will help to es-
tablish real contacts Chat is, if it were news
paper worthy the name, if it is issued regu-
larly. y"
Seemingly, many Party members, some dis
trict bureaus hesitate about agreeing with
Lenin in this matter. To them, the Daily
Worker is still extraneous to everyday tasks.
Using it as an instrument for contacts seldom
enters their minds.
A mass circulation and distribution of the
Daily Worker will help build mass Commu-
mist Party. 1t will mean more power to the
workers now, and then-ALL POWER TO
THE WORKERS.

Flashes From Recruiting Drive


Philadelphia has set January IL and Janu-
airy 10 as Red Sundays. On these days the
entire Party membership is being modified for
the Recruiting Drive. The district has COM
piled complete list of all subscribers to the
Party press (sent by the Organizing Depart
ment to all districts) plus all other names Of
sympatherizers gathered in past year. To
each of these addresses Of workers a PARTY
member will go armed with application cards,
Daily Workers and sub blanks, Recruiting
Drive pamphlets, leaflets and Lenin Memorial
Meeting tickets. While hammerlng away in
the factories as the basic recruiting ground
for the Party, this is a method which all dis
tricts can use as supplementary to factory re-
cruiting.
In Minnesota over 300 metal miners nave
been organized into the National Miners Union
and Lumber Workers Industrial Union has
also been organized. This shows q good orieu.
tation on the part Of the Minnesota District.
From amongst these elements the Party must
recruit new members. Results to date are poor
in Minnesota. Additional plans have bssn
worked out to stimulate tho Drive, ineludinR
tours, meetings and Red Sumdov on January
10 throughout the district. Minnesota hss IL

STATE ACTS TO.
ACCIDENTS
Motorbuses More Than 8 Fl.
Wide VIII be Banned
From Highways

AUSTIN, Jan. 3-The state will
act to curb the heavy toll Of lives
in highway accidents, by banishing
from the roads the vehicles that
are dangerous, Mark Marshall. mo-
tor transportation director announc-
ed.
His action followed the fatal COL
lision near Columbus, in which one
man was killed and eight persons
injured.
The railroad commission will take
two definite steps TO sweep the
highways clear OF hazardous ma
chimes, under present laws. and
future corrective changes in laws
r expected to make the roads
still safer.
First steps, he said, will be to
prohibit the operation OF motor
buses or trucks rel eight feet
wide on the highways. No motor
buses so far licensed violate the
law limiting the width TO eight
feet, Mr.. Marshall said, and none
will be licensed. The same width
limit applies to trucks, and the
newly-appointed force Of motor
transportation inspector will check
up on trucks that might violate
this law.
The second step Is TO provide and
enforce drastic regulations against
the eXtra-length vehicles. or use
OF trailers In a way that permits
the attachments TO wobble ali over
the road.
Motorbuses already are forbidden
to pull trailers. Mr.. Marshall said.
Efforts Of the railroad commits
sion will deal with commercial
trucks and motorbuSes subject to
license.
In addition to this. the state
highway patrol Of so men will 20
upon the highways to regulate
speed OF vehicles and 10 enforce
the regulations Of the highway de-
partment.
One Of the principal safety re-
gulations enforced by the highway
patrol will be arrests Of drivers who
park cars or trucks in the high
way. Numerous recent accidents
have been due to cars at night
running into parked trucks or
vehicles In roads, unlighted.
The railroad commission was
given general power TO fix regula-
tons for the safety and protection
OF passengers in motorbuses. and
TO regulate operation of CONNER
cial motor trucks. These regulations
will be applied with a view of In
creasing safety OF highway travel.
Mr.. Marshall declared.

Valley Conditions
s. Years Ago Told

Brownsville "in the early days"
is remembered by G.. G.. Hornbeck-
err. OF Hornbecker and Beckman,
San Antonio, who Is here with his
family on a vacation.
Mr.. Hornbecker first came TO this
section in 1896. He came the last
stages Of the journey fro , "up-
state via stage. Many visitors
came by water from Galveston and
skipped the hardships OF the buck
board.
Thirty four years shows a mighty
change in land like the Valley"
said Mr.. Hornbecker. Land has
Jumped from the value OF a few
cents 10 hundreds OF dollars.
Md. Hornbecker knows OF many
medicines Of men who refused to
buy Valley land at a dollar or two
per acre, only TO see the price in
a few years vastly increased.

FISHING LAW
FOUGHT HERE
Point Isabel Fisheries Will
Seek Injunction In
Civil Court

From 200 to 300 people at Point
Isabel will be thrown out Of means
OF livelihood if the new state fishing
law which went into effect Jan. /
Is enforced" JUNE Cobolini. opera
tor Of a Point Isabel fish house, de-
clared Friday.
Cobolini and the four other own
ers Of principal fisheries at the
Point are banding together TO OBJ
tain an injunction against the en-
forcement OF the law. Similar action
was recently taken by commercial
fishermen at Galveston.
The fisheries at the Point re-
present a large investment. The new
law. which prohibits commercial
fishermen from operating in bays,
except under special conditions,
would mean IN effect the end OF the
Valley companies" Cobolini said.
The state law does not prohibit
deep sea fishing, but the only fish
taken IN the Gulf at the Point Is
snapper. This n field Of operation
would not be enough to sustain the
concerns at the Point. Cobolini says.
The injunction will be sought in
the civil district court as soon as
the companies are banded together,
1t was said.
