ST. LOUIS, September 15.-The
charred hull of the stern wheeler
steamboat Illinois lay ct the bottom Of
t'x Mississippi River today, supposedly
burned by incendiarists who sought TO
cover up the operations Of the old craft
as a floating distillery.
Just as Federal prohibitionists were
about 10 investigate the boat, it disap-
peared from a dock at Alton, Ill, early
Yesterday and was sent floating down
the river, a towering mass of flames.
IT was the first floating distillery
ever to come TO the attention Of Fed

It was the largest source of alcohol here

ranged from 500 to 1000 gallons.
Vessel With Honorable Career.
The old vessel had long and honor
able career on the Mississippi and Illi-
nois Rivers, first as a packet and later
as a flsh and game conservation boat.
1t was equipped with large tanks, for
n1erlv used to carry live fish
The Illinois first came TO the atten-
ton Of prohibition agents in August,
wheN it wos found anchored between
two harees. one of which was filed with
whisky mash and the other with dis
tilling utensils and fuel. The agents
returned the next day with search
warrant, but the old stern-wheeler had
vanished and the barge with the mash
was scuttled before they were able TO
reach the scene The Illinois was To-
Gated only Saturday in dock at Alton.
Owners Take Warning.
Sunday morning St Louis papers,

Q nm, Saturday night. Less than SIX
hours later the vessel was cut loose
from its mornings, and apparently toweo

For several months the craft mad OPP

The South Needs More Forces

The chances of building our Party and III"
Trade Union Unity League as well as othe
mass organizations, good. But, in order
to do this, the Party will have to send in a
good group of comrades with instructions,
that they must stay the job, and not decide
to leave when they feel like it, as has been in
the past, nor should the Party withdraw
forces from the field, as has also been done
in the past. This has a bad effect on the
work that has begun
Withdrawing Forces.
In the past we had a lot of forces here, but
what happened? Most of them were taken
out and placed in charge of other work. No
new ones sent in, the result was that it had
a very damaging effect on the work. Many
new contacts were in this way lost.
The Party must be more rigid in this con-
nection. A responsible group of comrades
must be assigned for work, given specific in
structions to carry it out; regular reports to
be sent in to the center, etc. No comrade to
leave his or her post until permission is
granted from the center.
In connection with the many mass organ
izations, like the TU.U.L., LID, W.IR., ETC.,
many times we find that a comrade in charge
of one department, is forced to also become
the T.U.U.L., LID, ETC., organizer. This is
bad and should be avoided. 1t is not possible
for one person to do work for several organ
izations, the result is that none of the work
is properly attended to, and only confusion is
the result.
These various mass organizations must pro-
vide their own organizers to carry on the work
of that particular department, and not de-
pend on some outsider to do the work for them
while | agree that cooperation should be
given by all comrades to the various mass
organizatons), only by systematically carry
ing on the work will we be able to build a
we'll functioning movement in this section of
the country. With more forces to be sent I'm,
and this should be done very soon, we will be
able to build powerful Communist Party of

News Notes
Professional Boxing.

FHE set-to between Schmeling and
Sharkey is to take place at the
Yankee Stadium this Thursday,
June II. What the outcome will be
is hard to tell at this time, but the
outlook is that Sharkey will come
out the winner. Why? Well, the
writer can give the following rea-
sons that will bear out his predic-
tions unless the unexpected hap
pens:
Sharkey is just as hard a hitter
as Schmeling and just as good a
taker. In boxing skill Sharkey is
much superior, And another i'm
portant point to be considered is
that Sharkey has been fighting right
along, while Schmeling has been
doing his boxing in the gyms for
the last year.
These are the reasons from the
angle of cold facts in the game of
scrambling ears. There is another
reason that must be considered and
that is the question of nationalism.
The American bourgeoisie are deter
mined to keep the heavyweight
title here in spite of desires of some
of the promoters to place the crown
on the brow of a foreign boxer
just to stir up more interest in the
racket. Another point to be con-..
sidered is the question of bets. Be-
