Warren G. Harding, a former presl-
dent of the United States is quoted as
saying cit has been my observation
that without exception the city which
vigorously and enthusiastically sup
ports a Chamber of Commerce is like
ly to be classed among progressive and
Illuminated communities, and that the
city which fails in such efforts is
pretty sure to be excluded from that
classification. There never has been a
time in the history of America when
a chamber of commerce program was
as necessary as it is today. Whoever
co-operates in that direction is a real
asset to the nation" President Hard
ing might have been writing of the
present day with its conditions and
worries when he declared" There
never has been a time in the history
of America when a chamber of COM
merce program was as necessary as it
is today When things run along
smoothly, when prosperity abounds,
when mill and foundry and machine
shop are running over time and when
cotton and wheat and other products
of the farm are bringing top-notch
prices, communities run along of their
own accord, but it is when the low
ebb arrives that a strong organlza-
ton is needed to pilot the community
to a safe anchorage. Salisbury's cham
Der of Commerce is time tested and
will continue to ride the waves, serene
in the faith that its services are known
and appreciated and worthy of the
cordial support of all the people.
Salisbury's observance of Fire pre-
vention Week has brought unstinted
praise from the National Fire Protec-
ton Association to which it has made
a report of the activities by the
| Chamber of Commerce. A letter just
received from T. Alfred Fleming,
chairman of the Fire Prevention com
mittee of the association, after recit-
ing how pleased he was to note the
various features of the program,
reads: F..
1--WE iwsh to compliment you
particularly on the fact that for the
first two weeks mentioned in our re-
port blank Salisbury suffered but very
small loss of ten dollars, and during
the third week, no fire loss whatso-
ever. This is a very fine record for
a city of over $4,000 inhabitants. We
also note with interest the fire preven-
ton essay contest conducted in the
schools, also the demonstration made
by the Salisbury Fire Department on
how to turn in a fire alarm. Both
Of these features are very fine and
productive of much good"
The report referred to by MI.
Fleming while forwarded through
the Chamber of Commerce was made
up in the main by Charles Burkett,
assistant chief of the fire department.
A distinguished visitor to Salisbury
on Armistic Day was remarking in
not a little surprised manner Oh how
good the parade and the entire pro-
gram was. Good?" said an enthus-
%iastic Salisburian "Its gotta be good,
if it is pulled off. by Salisbury" And
that is the simple truth. Salisbury

Joint Action Of the Employed and
the Unemployed

In the development of joint action of the
employed and the unemployed, little progress
has been made. While the unemployed work
ers have in almost all cases fought side by side
with the employed workers in strikes, the mob
ilization of the employed to fight for the de-
mands of the unemployed has made little pro-
greSs. Only in the miners strike did we put
forward joint demands for the strikers and the
unemployed in the hunger marches organized.
The fight for the 7 hour day. the struggle
against naturalization and the stagger plan,
has not been pressed forward In the fight for
the unemployed in only a few instances did
we develop demands for part-time workers The
tight against forced labor (Which is increasing
on Government work. and the maintenance of
union rates on all Jobs has received little at
tention.

The relations existing between the revolution
airy trade union movement and the unemployed
workers movement have also not helped to
broaden the unemployed workers movement. In
England a National Unemployment Workers
Committee has existed for many years. but I'M
til recently it has not had either formal or
actual connection with the Minority Movement
and the struggles of the workers. In Germany
until quite recently, the unemployed workers
movement was attached to the trade union OPP
position, and in America it was attached to the
weak red trade union, which are few enough in
number. The association with the "red trade
unions" and revolutionary trade union opposi-
ton" drove away the unemployed who belonged
to other political parties and to the reformist
catholic and other trade union organizations

IN Springfield the Convention of District IL
l u M w A. opened on october 6. -Four hun
dred delegates we're assembled who brought with
them over 100 resolutions large number of
which directly or indirectly are against the Dis
trict and International takers of the U. M, W. A.
Probably never before were such large number
of resolutions introduced, which in unnlis-
taxable words speak Of the treacherous role
played by the misleaders of the U. M. w. A.
Here is quotation:
Resolved that Local Union No. 492, of
Springfield ILL.,, calls upon the delegates to the
District Convention to demand on the first day
of the convention the resignation of every dis
trict official, and in case they refuse to re-
sign that they be placed on trial in that con-
vention by the delegates and that the dele
gates take the functions of tbs convention
and operate it in method that will solidify
our ranks and adopt program free from coal
operators influence that will blaze the way for
action nationwide of the oppressed mine
workers.
number of local unions from different parts
of the state had similar resolutions and de-
handing elections in the U. NJ w. A. directly
by the miners themselves.
For Struggle.
Five local unions adopted resolution calling
on the miners to set up an Illinois District Unity
Committee of the miners from the pits which is
to map out militant program based on
struggle
The same local unions adopted a resolution
formulating demands and to prepare for strike
to enforce these demands.
Resolved, that the scale committee shall for
mulate the final draft of demands, taking into
consideration the following: ID weekly mini
mum wage; 90 abolition of the bug light; 60
abolition of the Cardox system of shooting coal,
as a dangerous method; (4) full payment for
yardage in all narrow work. 60 enforcement of
all present state mining laws (6) creation of
others to safeguard miners at work; Cd no dis
elimination in any form against Negro and for
eign born miners; 80 immediate unemployment
relief and for unemployment insurance; and be
it further
Resolved that our organization of miners If
necessary takes on role independent of corrupt
officials and that our efforts be based upon
militant program of action
Also, these very same local unions introduced
resolutions demanding the release of the organ
izers of the National Miners Union arrested in
Franklin County and held on charges of Grim
inal syndicalism, and for release of all class
war prisoners.
A. local union from Gillespie declares THAT
the delegates in this convention go on record

Union for not supporting those innocent miners

SERIOUS ATTEMPTS SHOW GREAT POSSIBILITIES IN
SHOP WORK

without Immediately being spotted by the boss.
We showed to the workers that through shop
organization we can prevent the firing of the
most militant workers from the shops by pres
enting the grievances to the boss in an organized
manner instead of an individual attempt to
fight back. The workers told us that many
individual workers have been fired for telling
the boss to go to he'll or even going into fist
fight with the boss. We explained to them how
to fight against the rotten conditions affecting
all workers, and the need of united organized
action.
On the basis of this experience we learnt:
Only through more help and attention to in
dividual workers in the Shops by discussing
every step we take in shop work with the work
ers in that shop, developing the initiative of in
dividual Party members and other militant
workers and building the confidence of those
workers in themselves can we achieve real shop
organization and lay the basis for our Party
roofing itself in the factories.
Lets get some real competition from other sec
tons and more experiences in Shop Work

from his recent pamphlet Unemployment and
the Tasks of the Communists" Just published
by the Workers Library Publishers; price Is cts.)
THE unemployed workers movement cannot yet
1 be considered mass moyement-t we take
into consideration the enormous number OF per-
sons without work; there are thousands in the
unemployed workers movement, but there are
millions of unemployed.
There is a dangerous gap between the Strug-
giles of the workers in employment and the I'M
employed In Germany enthusiastic demonstra-
lions of the unemployed are continually taxing
place but there are no strikes OF any great I'M
portance The struggle of the unemployed Is
not always supported by means other thah
strikes of workers engaged in industry. In Witer-
sfeld can industrial town in Middle Germany
for example. during a period of four weeks dn
ApriI and May the unemployed carried on
struggle against reduction in the scale of re-
lief They besieged the town hall and twice
succeeded in getting their unemployment oene-
fits IN the old scale When the police inter
fered during the third siege of the town hall,
the ,,nenploved did not fall back but continued
their struggle in spite of conflicts with the po-
lice. but since the movement obtained no sup
mort from these engaged in industry, 1t broke
down.
In England France, and, to a lesser degree,
in the United States on the other hand, big
strikes frequently occur, but there is an almost
complete absence of demonstrations and other
forms of struggle on the part of the unemployed
This sort of thing is very dangerous, Tor the
bourgeoisie and the reforrnists can more easily
deal with each movement separately than they
could if the two movements-of the unemployed
and employed-proceed simultaneously.
Finally the unemployed OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
rnittees and councils Of unemployed in the
majority of cases work extremely badly.
All this can be explained by the fact that the
Communist Parties Red Trade Unions and Trade
Union opposition work badly and much too little
among the unemployed.
DESPITE the fact that in the parties and or
carnations indicated there are sufficient forces
available, the work has been, and is still, car
RED on among the unemployed in general, and
not chiefly among the entirely destitute sections
of the unemployed-and it is TO this section that
the majority of the unemployed belong.
In the work among the unemployed, the or
ganization of demonstrations and professions has
always predominated, and still predominates
without this method of work being linked up
with the organic, permanent activities OF the
committees and councils Of unemployed such as
fighting against eviction of unemployed, against
the introduction of new rationali5ing measures
and a longer working day in the factories, which
throw ever growing armies Of new workers on to
the streets; the organization of demonstrations

the 7-day week, and II per cent Of the blast
furnace men are on the 12-hour day.
Wages of ~teel workers in the United States
are lower than in any other country in relation
to the total value produced by the workers. The
average American steel worker produces 81 tons
of pig-iron for 500 in wages, while his English
brother produces Al tons for the equivalent in
wages. But that is not enough for the United
States Steel Corporation and its stockholders.
Wages must be still further reduced to protect
the profits Of the owners Of steel shares and
the stock exchange gamblers who trade in them.
Wage slashes of TO- Is and 20 per cent are al
ready common in the crisis winter Of 1892.
The steel workers are unorganized Slav and
Negro, Hungarian and Italian-the policy Of the
corporations is to keep them divided How far
this policy can be carried in the face of starva-
ton, disease and death, remains for the workers
to decide. Only an industrial union, uniting all
steel workers on the basis demands Of shorter
hours living wage, and safe work places, can
put an end to the horrible conditions.

COMBINE discussion with action was the
method adopted in this district in connection
with shop work. Already certain achievements
can be recorded.
Danvile Section can now serve as an example
for good start in shop work to all other sec
tons in this district and many more sections
in other industrial districts.
The following achievements were made in this
section since the last Party District Conference.
A Mill Nucleus of four members was organized
in one of the mills in the Section Steps are
being taken now to activize this nucleus. Three
shop groups have been set up in three of the
biggest Textile Mills in this Section with about
eight workers in each. One group has issued
the first Mill Bulletin in the shop. One thou
sand copies will be distributed in the mill.
How Was This Done? The Party conference
discussed the main decisions of the 18th Party
Plenum which impressed the comrades not only
with the need Of shop organization, but also
with the possibilities for this work The district
buro worked out in detail the plans for i'm
mediate work. Danville Section was selected to
be given the first attention. The District Or
ganizer went to Danville and worked with the
comrades there for two weeks. He did not
merely assume the job an instructor but
also going with the comrades to workers homes
and discussing conditions and grievances in the
mills We learned that the workers believe that
the Reds are good fighters. The only ones who
can win better conditions for them. But that
it is too dangerous to get connected with the
Reds as the mill-owners fire every one who is
connected with them.
We had to convince the workers that we know
how to protect them from being fired AS
result of our conversation with them, the work.

The Most Dangerous Form of OPP
portunism in Practice

We cannot help the situation by declarations
that the Communists in the shops are poisoned
with opportunism and with unwillingnesS to
work in the shops, nor by the conception that
our weaknesses can be overcome by discipln-
airy measures, expulsion, ETC. The most dan
gerous form of opportunism in practice that
hnders us from building the shop nuclei does
not appear among the Communist workers in
the shop. but in the approach of our func-
tionaries to them. The fear of the difficulties
Of shop work by the Communist worker is be-
cause of the fact that we do not know HOW
to carry out this work. ALL the attention of
