NATURALIZATION
DRIVE IN POLAND
Priests Take an Active
Part in Propaganda

RIS.-"lHumanite" reports that
intensive militarist propaganda is
being conducted amongst the Polish
workers in France. Officials of the
Polish Consulates, Polish officers,
French military officials, and mem
bers of the French fascist organiza-
tons are taking an active part in
this work. "'
Branch organizations of the
Polish military organization Strelez
and of the Pilsudski Association have
been formed in the chief centres of
Polish immigration. An appeal has
been issued for the formation of a
Polish Legion to maintain "the civ
ilizing role of Poland as the bulwark
against Moscow barbarism" Collec-
tons are being organized for the
building of a submarine as "a gift
to the Polish Fatherland"
Polish priests are taking an active
part in this propaganda. The threat
of dismissal is also freely used in
order to secure volunteers" and
contributors to the fund. In the
space of months 5000 Francs have
been obtained for this submarine,
and even then, most of the sum has
been contributed by the well-to-do
Poles. In much shorter space of
time, however, 1900 Francs were
collected amongst the Polish workers
on behalf of the illegal Communist
Party of Poland.

NeWs Club Extends Activities

The activities of the Red Builders

letter from E. Mazzarello, secretary
of the club. He writes:
'"There are now twelve members in
the Red Builders News Club. Three

300 copies of the Daily Worker and
well stocked with other revolutionary

Things here are developing fast
and the sale of the Daily Worker
is rapidly increasing. The Red
Builders News Club arranges its
own activities and has meetings
daily in the City Plaza Park, where
Daily Workers are usually sold in
big numbers.
Subs are coming in every day and
by the New Year we hope to double
our quota. Speakers of the Red
Builders News Club speak at prac-
tically all the meetings of the Trade
Union Unity League, Communist
Party, International Labor Defense
and other revolutionary organiza-
tons, explaining the role of the Daily
and the necessity to assist in the
present financial crisis.

the Trade Union Unity League hall

their quarters and figure the days

$3.50 for the bundle they put the
remainder in common treasury
and split equally. Then they put
their incomes together and buy the
eats for the whole bunch, making
it easy for the IL unemployed work
ers who comprise the club to get
substantial food and at the same
time doing the best revolutionary
work.
Soon we expect to increase the

COLLECT CHARITY
FUND IN FRISCO
Souplines Is Relief the
Bosses Offer
by a Worker Correspondent


SAN FRANCISCO, Cal.-Here in
San Francisco a campaign is going
on for collecting money for the I'M
employment fund.
No matter how much money they
will collect, the workers will face
starvation just the same, there is no
sign of relief, We only outlook for
the workers is, That a new soupline
has been opened again.
One must guess, where the money
has been, or will be collected is going
to, somebody will get benefit out of
it, on every fault, it will not be the
unemployed worker who will get
much benefit out Of it.
The money that will be left over
will be turned over to some charitable
institutions and the workers will re-
ceive their benefit from this institu-
ton, in form of bowl Of sloppy
soup, or a thrown-off shirt.
The worker shall not be deluded
by such fakery. The workers will
receive nothing from such society
which is built up on egoism.
The workers must demand some
thing that they can depend on, some
thing that can never be taken away
from them, that is, Work or Wages :"
To achieve this demand, the work
ers must come out and demonstrate
in mass protest, under the leader
ship of the unemployed councils.

BANK CLERKS TO
WORK LONGER
No Pay for Overtime
Is New Scheme
(By Worker Correspondent

ny WOrker COrEeSpOnuentJ
NEW YORK, N. Y.-The Chatham
Phoenix Bank, Grand Street Branch,
seems determined to save it's divid-
ends by directly robbing the workers
Of their earnings. Formerly overtime
money was paid if the employees
were necessitated to remain until
seven o'clock in the night. If they
remained until ten to seven they did
not receive a cent. Now the bank
has raised the time until nine o'clock.
And any worker who stays until a
few minutes before nine p. NJ, (t(hey
start work at 8.45 a. m) may not
receive anything for his extra time.
He consequently loses as he must eat
cut instead of home and not get any
thing for supper money. Those who
have the courage to question this pro-
cedure were told outright that they
have but two alternatives, either to
tolerate it or look for another job.

which has plunged 100000 workers
onto the streets to starve, which is
running millions of poor farmers, is
basically the cause. They wave aside

DARROW FOR NULLIFICATION.

Clarence s. Darrow, world-famous lawyer, so- biologist lecturer, etc. is ringing wet but says he does not whether the Eighteenth Amendment is repealed not He declares it is not necessary to repeal it. He says all that is necessary is to quit trying to enforce the law In his joint debate at Seattle with pr. Clarence True Wilson the man who said Ketchkan the worst .sink-hoe of iniquity in the world, MT Darrow said:
 Refusal to enforce bad laws has always
 been a favorite method of getting rid of

 on it's books that nobody thinks of
 enforcing All we have to do is get wet

 have in 1892, and certainly in 1934-and
 there simply won't be any more appropria-
 tions for enforcement.
 This position of Mir Darrow agrees with that of pr Arthur Twining Hadley, Presdent-Emeritus of Yale who declared that notification is the oftenest used and most logical road toward progress. In a series of articles he pointed to reform after reform throughout history where the people first disre-
