RESCUE GROUP
HURLS EDICT
AT BIC BILL
mo Cooperation, No CASH
UItimatum Tossed at
Chicago Chiefs.
BY MERTON T. AKERS,
United Press staff Correspondent

CHICAGO, Feb. 4. = Silas H.
Strawn and his rescue" committee
laid Chicago's $3OO,0O00O0 debt on
the doorstep of Mayor William Hale
Thompson's administration today
with the ultimatum mo co-opera-
ton, no cash."
Having spoken. Strawn packed his
bags and prepared to go to Wash
ington for few days, thence to
continue to New York, and return
next week.
In the meanwhile. he advised
Thompson and the city council Ito
think 1t over" and inferred that
a frank conference with the admin
istration on one side of the table,
and the rescue committee" on the
other, probably would result in
enough cash, at least, to pay police
men, f1remen and health workers,
who are living the best way they
can without money.
Boiled down to essentials,
Strawn's ultimatum, issued Monday
night after a meeting with the
committee, said there was virtually
no hope that the 10000 public en-
ployes would draw pay check be-
fore Feb. 10.
How long after that it will be be-
fore money is forthcoming for pay
rolls, depends on whether the city
and school administrations show a
disposition to cast their fate with
Strawn's group and get some of the
millions which have been pledged
by business men and corporations.

warrants gathering dust for want
of buyer, and the sanitary district.

WOMEN CLASH

Show Children How to

United Press STAFF Correspondent

PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 4.-Phila-
deIphia women, additionally known
as the pest cooks in the nation, have
left their pepper pot and scrapple
steWing on the stove. to run out TO
the front porch and argue about
prohibition.
Not since the passage OF the Vol
stead act has the feminine pOpula-
ton here been so excited about a
piece Of national legislation. The
controversy has reached the stage
where each day the newspapers are
devoting the most prominent space
or their front pages to it.
Prohibition Failed
At the head OF the anti-prohibi-
ton fraction is the attractive Mrs.
Graham Dougherty, q 31-year-old
society matron, who startled the city
recently by announcing that prohi-
bition was q failure, and that 1t was
the duty of parents to teach their
children chow to take their cock
tails like ladies and gentlemen"
The marshal of the dry faction is
Mrs. H. Clay Ferguson. wife of a
minister and president Of the county
w. c. T. U. Mrs. Ferguson, an
earnest, elderly worker for prohi-
bition, accuses Mrs. Dougherty Of
"sedition" and charges a worldwide
conspiracy of brewers is working to
break down the Volstead law.
Gives Time to Work
Mrs. Dougherty is ice-chairman
of the Pennsylvania division of the
Women's organization for prohibi-
ton reform. So strongly does she
feel on the subject that she has
abandoned most Of the elaborate
social functions to devote her time
to the work.
She sat at buSlnesS-hke desk IN
the Warburton house. clad in a
coral Jersey dress and wearing a
black cloche hat. Her words fell
III crisp sentences.
Philadelphia is largest dry city
in the United States" she said, but
there is a tremendous amount Of
drinking going on here. I have four
children.
THE oldest Is II years old, and
when these children decide they
want to drink, they can come to
me and get it in our home. I will
teach them to drink temporarily to
take their cocktails like ladies and
gentlemen. instead of sending them
out to speakeasies."

ONE of the manifestations of the right danger
in the American Party is what is known
under the term, "chwostism, that is, that our
Party members are not leading the struggle
of the workers, but are at the tail end of the
workers movement. This is expressed clearly
in the opposition by many members Of shop
nuclei to issuance of shop papers.
In our District No. there was a shop nucleus
in existence long before the reorganization of
the Party. About three years ago the ques
ton of issuing shop bulletin came up for
discussion, and most of the members of the
nucleus were opposed to issuing such bulletin,
giving the excuse that this would endanger
their job. After many weeks of discussion
shop bulletin was issued but not in the name
of the Party, but under the name of Progress
sive group. The District Executive Committee
ordered the bulletin to be issued under the
name of the Communist Party-the result was
no bulletin issued after that.
Inexcusable Attitude
About eight months ago the question came
up again in the same shop nucleus, and again
we had the same question. Violently expressed
by some comrades that they will not partici-
pate in the issuance of the bulletin because
that would endanger their jobs. Many meet
ings were spent in trying to convince those
comrades of the Importance of a shop bulletin
to carry on effectively Communist work IN the

OPPOSITION TO SHOP PAPERS
AND THE RIGHT DANGER

shop. After three months discussion the first
number of the bulletin was issued, but only
two comrades out of eight in that nucleus par
ticipating in contributing news articles to the
bulletin.
Since then there is continuous struggle be-
tween the section executive committee and most
of the members Of that nucleus, and it usually
takes about two or three months between the
issuance of one number and the other.
Workers Are Radicalized.
The workers in that shop are quite progress
sive radicalized, ready to take up the fight
against the social betrayers in that industry.
The shop nucleus, which should give leadership,
show courage and militancy in this fight is
functoning as brake to the militant spirit of
the workers.
a shop committee was organized in that shop
sometime ago, and representatives at the Cleve-
land Convention, but due to the fact that the
shop nucleus has failed completely to give any
leadership or guidance to them, the shop COM
mittee has disappeared.
This manifestation of "chwostism" must be
rooted out from our Party members. Members
of the Communist Party must either be mill
tant fighters in, the interest of the workers,
or they have no place in the ranks of the
revolutionary Party. If comrades are not ready
to take chances with their jobs they surely
will not be ready for the revolution.

LENIN ON THE ROLE OF A
COMMUNIST PARTY

these we can come forward merely in the mega
tive role of exposers of abuses we can
only disspate the hopes they have in various

(our emphasis). By saying this, Martynov
shows that he absolutely fails to understand
the role the revolutionary vanguard must
really play.
Is there scope for activity among all classes
of the population? Il. We would be "poli-
ticians" and social-democrats only in name
las very often happens), if we failed to real
ize that our task is to utilize every manifesto
ton of discomfort, and to collect and utilize
every grain of even rudmentary protest. This
is quite apart from the fact that many mil
lions of the peasantry, handicraftsmen, petty
artisans, ETC., always listen eagerly to the
preachngs of any social-democrat who is at all
intelligent. Is there single class of the popu-
lation in which no individuals, groups or cir
Giles are to be found who are disconnected
with the state of tyranny, and therefore ac-
cessible to the propaganda Of social-democrats
as the spokesman of the most pressing general
democratic needs? To those who desire to
have clear idea Of what the political agita-
ton of social-democrat among all classes
and strata of the population should be like, we
would point to a political exprosure in the broad
sense of the word as the principal (but of
course not the sole) form OF CnlS agltatlon.
We must "arouse in every section Of the
population that is at all enlightened a passion,
for political exposure" wrote in my article
"Where to Begin" Qskra, No. 4, May, 1901,
with which shall deal nj greater detail later.
"We must not allow ourselves to be discoQr-
aged by the fact that the voice of political
exposure is still feeble, rare and timid. This
is not because those who are able and ready to
expose have no tribune from which to speak,
because there is no audience to listen eagerly
to and approve of what the orators say and
because the latter can nowhere perceive among
the people force to whom it would be worth
while directing their complaint against the
'omnipotent' Russian government -. We are
now in a position to set up tribune for the
national exposure of the czarist government
and it is our duty to do so. That tribune must

NOE: The excerpts printed below are
taken from Lenins famous brochure, "What

w of the Collected Works of V. I. Lenin,
Just published by the International Publish

ness will outstrip spontaneity, which tears TO
put forward a bold 'plan" that would compel
universal recognition even among those VINO
think differently from us-are they not con-
fusing the word, vanguard" with the word
"rearguard?"
1t goes without saying that we cannot guide
the struggle of the students, liberals, ETC., Tor
their Immediate interests" but this is not
the point we were arguing about, most worthy
Economists The point we were discussing
is the possible and necessary participation Oh
various social strata in the overthrow OF the
autocracy; not only are We able, but 1t Is our
duty to guide these activities, OF the various
opposition strata" if we desire to be van
guard" Not only will the students and our
liberals, etc, take care of the struggle that Will
bring them up against our political regime;
the police and the officials Of the autocrat
government will see to this more than any
one. But if "we" desire to be advanced
democrats we must make it our business to
stimulate in the minds of those who are dis
satisfied only with university or only with
Zemstvo, ETC., conditions, the idea that the
whole political system is worthless. We must
take upon ourselves the task of organizing
universal political struggle under the leader
ship of our Party in such manner as to OBJ
tain the support of all opposition strata Tor
the struggle and for our Party We must
train our al-democratic practical workers
to become political leaders, able at the right
time to dictate a positive program OF action
for the disconnected Zemstvo, for the dscon-
tented religious sects, for the offended elemen-
tary school teachers, etc. For that reason
