fear TO have the Communist program brought
before the workers. The election campaign COM
mittee announces that it will again arrange
meetings in these towns and that the efforts OF
the police to obstruct the Communist election
campaign will be met with doubly increased
activities. No efforts of the police will keep the
workers from becoming acquainted with the
Party platform and with the Unemployment In
surance Bill No efforts of the police will pre-
vent the mobilization of the workers behind the
Communist ticket of the present election
1t is interesting to note that the American
Civil Liberties Union has not raised single
word Of protest against the brutal actions of
the Police, despite the fact that theee actions
were called to their attention. 1t is also impor-
tant to note that in the towns where the Com
munist meetings have been broken up the social
lists have been welcomed with open arms. Not
only have their meetings not been interfered
with but the capitalist press gives them free
front page advertisement for their meetings.

An example of how useless the injunction be-

themselves risked their money on it. The stock
of Willow Cafeteras. one of the largest of the
New York chains which operated at that time
twenty-three stores, rose five points when the

first mass violations of this injunction Willow

&24;..A
Party Work
By JORGE

Last week the New York District of the Com
rnunist Party girded up its loins, probaely in
B. V. DIS. to put the candidates over Nov D..
There are whole string of candidates running,
including Alex Trachtenberg, whom we partlc-
ularly mention because to see Alex actually run
ming is a phenomenal occurrence physically un-
thinkabe.
ANYHOW the District meant well, and to make
it strong about, what is called Unit Control"
every Unit Bureau was adjured to make every
Party member IS busy as the proverbial bee In
fact it asked each Unit Bureau--"Did you give
work to every rember of your Unit for every
minute of every day until Election Day."
This is all very we'll, though it didn't draw
any blueprints of how a comrade is to gather
an audience about him Cor herr while taking
the morning bath and performing certain other
functions demanded by nature.
Perhaps the District Bureau relied upon the
Unit Bureau making their own blueprints and
remaining little rational in holding the com
rades to account for minutes spent in, let us
say such necessary ways as reading Red Sparks.
The District might have made clear, perhaps,
that while the Unit Bureaus were also to grid
up their loins, still they should keep their shirts
on.
But alas, here and there Unit Bureaus exist
made up entirely of machinists. At least one
would think so from the mechanical way in
which perfectly good instructions are SO rigidly
enforced as to make simple worker stand COM
pletely dumbfounded.
For example, one Unit Bureau had decided
that every member must report at certain
hour of a certain day to distribute leaflets or
something, and certain member OF that unit
was supposed to be on the dot
So far so good. But it happened that this
member had heard something about the Com
munist International requirement that Commu-
nists here should concentrate on building the
Trade Union Unity League
And it also happened that in his shop he had
succeeded in winning two workers to the T.U.
UL and learned that in order to get them to
Join the Metal Industrial League he would have
to go with these two workers to the League
meeting at the very hour in which he was sup
posed to be reporting to distribute leaflets,
The machinists in the Unit Bureau ignored all
this however. The building of the T. U. U. L.
might be all right in the abstract. But it isn't
Party work." Reason as he might, the comrade
could not overcome the Unit Bureaus mechan-
ical insistence that he was criminal and must
from the Party ausgestossen sein He was actu-
ally expelled!
But he will also actually be reinstated with
full honors for having more brains under his
hat than the blueprint artists in the Unit
Bureau all put together.

from hearing the Communist program by open
force. Despite the fact that the Communist
Party has candidates on the ballot and that
the state laws provide that election campaign

by attacking the election meetings and arrest

Two successive meetings held in the Negro

Where the flyers had hoped to reap

The feat performed by Jackson and

two flyers and their refueling crew. But
the endurance flight has ceased to be

Future attempts to set new record

to make application for the ballot and to
fill out the affidavit that must accom-
pany it. This will prove altogether too
much for some who hold their civic du-
ties lightly but are not averse to bowling
about their civic privileges.
The law is particularly lenient in inter-
preting just who is entitled to the absent
voters ballot. The intention was not to
deprive any voter of his right of fran
chise and this viewpoint is taken with
reference to the present law.
Citizens who realize that voting is a
duty charged to them, will take the little
time and slight trouble required to obtain
an absent voters ballot and cast it before
leaving their homes here.
Complete information on the method
to be followed can be obtained at the
county clerks office, or from almost any
candidate for office, we dare say.

unselfishness and sacrifice of Army men
and women. and it is pledge to the fu-
ture that the needy and unfortunate shall

Succor.
Intrinsically it represents few thouS-

logical standpoint its worth is not to be
measured
1t marks the real beginning of the

because of lack of proper quarters from
which to carry on its activities. Rightly
is it named Citadel in which those har-

refuge.
