NEW YORK EXPLAINS HOW 1T WILL RECRUIT NEW
PARTY MEMBERS

A second important method for the recruiting
drive is the following:
That comrades of the various fractions Of our
unions call open fraction meetings and invite
to these meetings the best fighting elements Of
the workers who are following the line Of our
Party in the T. U. U. L., and there have lead
ing conlrade Of the Party speak TO these work.
ers on the necessity OF their becoming members
Of our Party.
In this connection we must pay special at
tention TO the unions OF heavy industry such
as the Metal and Marine trades.
The District Committee has sent out letter
to all our mass organizations asking them to
pick some of their best conscious workers, speak
to them about joining the ranks of our Party,
and sending these workers in groups to the
Lenin Memorial meeting to be held on January
81, 1882 This method will bring great en-
thusiaSm to the workers at the meeting and
will make them feel that our Party is really
anxious to bring into its ranks new fighting ele-
mentS Of the working class
In order to carry out the work Of the re-
cruiting drive successfully 1t Is also necessary
to develop system Of check up, which must
be guided by the District Org. Department and
in the sections, by the section Org. Departments,
where We will be able to follow up the progress
OF the recruiting drive, exchange experiences in
the drive This to be brought TO the membership
IN the form Of q bulletin dealing with all these
problems, drawing the necessary lessons from
it, and in the process OF the recruiting campaign
to correct the weaknesses and shortcomings in
the recruiting.
In this way, we will be able to bring in hun
dreds and thousands Of new members into the
ranks Of our Party, who will help to bring our
Party closely to roofing itself inside the fac
tories and become real mass Communist Party

continued demands upon Nthe Charities arising
from the greater needs of the workers fully ex-
poses the Charities as boss agency. The Amer
lean Federation of Labor has discredited itself
before the eyes OF the workers by its opposition
to Unemployment Insurance and its betrayals Of
the workers struggles. The eyes OF the working
class OF the South are turning to the Conarau-
mist Party. Thus the drive for more members
comes at q time when the workers are begin
ming to follow revolutionary leadership and are
organizing in Revolutionary organizations
The Communist Party needs strong working
class fighters in the South New working class
blood must be drawn into our ranks and trained
for leadership in the struggles Of the workers
for better conditions against the bosses. The
Communist Party the only organization really
leading in the fight against wage cuts, unem-
ployment, starvation, lynchings and wars must
be rooted in every factory, in every farm area,
must become the real leader Of the workers in
every field constantly fighting for the most i'm
mediate demands Of the workers, for full equal
ity for the Negro workers, for unemployment
insurance for all workers, against bosses wars,
against the rule of the bosses.
Under the existing conditions the quota set
for District Is Of 200 new members can be

thing quite new in mems fash
ions was noted, among the
youngsters home from school,

white coats, the reverse OF the
generally accepted fashion for

white shoes were worn.

a dark.haired beauty, wore one
of the most ravishing dancing
frocks seen this summer, Of
white tulle made on the SIM
plest princess lines, with a very
long circular skirt. The par
ticularly lovely feature of the
dress was graduated bands Of
silver sequins, starting at the
waistline and extending to the
edge of the skirt. With this
she wore a tiny cerise velvet
jacket and the effect was
lovely.
Fireworks on Lawn
After dinner everyone re-
paired to the porch overlooking
the golf course. where chairs
were arranged, or to the lawn
extending down where several
hundred members and guests as
sembled for the display Of fire
works. Many children were in
the aSsemblage and their joy in
this portion of the evenings en-
tertainment knew no bounds.
The display was full Of
novelty and much applause was
accorded a number of the par
ticularly lovely pieces.
At the close of this part Of

the dancing started, the orches-
ira playing in the lounge.
