Meaning Of Psychology.

Psychology, like everything else, has
about as many meanings as there are
individuals who gather a meaning. For
some 1t means an Interpretation Of the
arrangement OF tea leaves in q cup
"a social superstition. For others it
means the mysterious influence Of
mind over matter"-a something I
never could account for. For still
others it means the magic of a word a
ceremony, or perhaps Symbol-all au-
thoritative superstitions based on Gre
dulity
Psychology has made wondrous gains
in the last few years. Superstitions
are being thrown into the discard
Some generally acceptable logical mean
ing is beginning to take root among
people as a whole.
1t would be too much for the layman
to understand psychology as a science.
In fact, as a science, it is actually a
little more than the scientists them
selves can understand. We must look
elsewhere for a meaning of psychology.
Psychology is an individual art. It's
the art Of getting on with other persons
in the first place. In the second place
it's the art of getting on with oneself.
OF these two arts, the first is relative
ly simple. It's far easier to understand

Seattle Shows
Decrease of 222

Seattle shows the largest decrease for the
week. Despite the fact that District 10 two
weeks ago had reached "a per cent Of its quota,
tables for this week show a decrease Of 222.

the large industrial cities in the northwest,
should have no difficulty in increasing it's cir
culatior instead Of showing drop. A strong
district apparatus. activizing Party and Young
Communist League members In systematic, day.
to-day selling canvassing for subscriptions is the
surest way to build up steady increase in cir
culation, and Seattle would retain its good
record
One other chief weakness In Seattle is the
absence of Red Builders News Club There is
one in Portland which has shown little activity.
The city of Seattle can boast of some of the
best Daily Worker sellers in the country, but
these as yet have failed to organize Red
Builders Club which would concentrate their
energies on new and more effective methods for
spreadin; the Daily Worker. and in drawing in
more unemployed workers to sell the paper and
earn their expenses.
District Is, Conn.,. shows a decrease Of l43.
This, however, is modified by increases in the
past two weeks the result of special orders from

which places an intolerable burden

The government drought relief

further that this relief would be

the event that this crop was only
large enough to satisfy the govern

extremely militant. The report of
Joe ballet, organizer of the Metal
Workers Industrial League, was fol-
lowed by thorough discussion from
the floor in which practically all of
the delegates and many of the work
ers who attended the conference as
spectators took part.
The keynote of the conference was
sounded by Negro steel worker, a
World War Veteran, who said, in
part: Its no use going way over to
France to fight. We can demand
things here just as good as we can
there, fight here just as good as there,
and if need be, die here just as good
as there. You can't do nothing by
sitting back and saying: II can't" I"
Let's get rid of that. Let's stand UP
and do something. Let's fight for
ourselves, right here, now"
Fight Steel Wage Cut.
Throughout the conference the ne
cessity for simultaneous building of
the organizations of the Metal Work
ers Industrial League inside the mills
and the unemployed councils out
side we're stressed. A motion was
adopted to send greeting of solidarity
to the Youngstown steel workers who
are preparing to fight against the
wage cut recently announced by the
steel bosses of the Mahonning Valley
One of the delegates pointed out
that up to that time most of the
signatures collected on the bill in
Gary had been collected by mem-
ployed workers who were not even
workers of any of the revolutionary
working class organizations, and 1t
was agreed that much greater steam
must be put behind the collection
of signatures during the duration OF
the campaign.
Other motion adopted were one
settig quota for Gary of $500 sig
natures on the bill; another condemn
ing charity collections in general and
the new s1O,oOO,0O0 Red Cross drive
in particular, and a third sharply
condemning the Fish Committee Re-
port. as an attack upon the entire
working class and assuring the Com
munist Party of the support of the
unemployed steel workers of Gary.
Seven delegates, four of them Ne
gro workers, were elected to the State
wide conference for support of the
bill to be held in Indianapolis Feb.
Ist.
The conference adjourned after in
structing the Campaign Committee
to send committees to the employ
ment offices of the mills and also to
