 It is the first time in many years. if not in the history of the city that cases of ordinary merit proved such magnet to scores. Doctors, law yers, policemen, newspaper men and hundreds of others tried to crowd into the court room, with the result that every available seat was taken before 9 o'clock. When Judge T. V. Meyer took the bench he faced the biggest crowd in years.

Terrible Conditions
of Negroes Revealed
in S t a t i s t i C S

Vital statistics for the city Of Bal
timore in 1929 reveal in their figures
how terrible is the condition of the
Negroes. The comparison with the
figures on the death of the white
population show to what degree the
Negroes suffer more than the white
workers.
The population OF Baltimore was
841, 728. The death rate for the white
population was 1872; for the Negro
23,1. Almost twice as many Negroes
died as whites during the same
period. tuberculosis deaths tell an
unmistakable story. Whites 79 per
10000; Negro 31S. This doesn't tell
of the thousands who are slowly
wasting away from tuberculosis
among the working-clas Of both
races
The results Of an examination OF
1000 Negro workers in this city is
startling. Nine hundred were found
to have serious physical defects and
AL but three" said the report,

From Denver, Colorado, comes a
real challenge. A Red Build * Club
has been organized there and they
send In $50. They expect to build
Denver up higher in the bundle cir
culation than any city Of its size in
the United States. They say: Here's
a challenge to the other Red Build
ers' CIubs!"
II the Red Builders Club Of Dem
yer broadens their club into q
Daily Worker Readers Club by
drawing in ali the workers whom
they come in contact with, they can
get all the workers who are MEM
bers out after subs. 1t will then
be much easier to Guido other cit
les! The contacts which are drawn
In to function around the Daily
Worker are much surer contacts
for the movement than II a sale
of the Daily is made to a worker
who sits and reads his paper at
home. The club members can build
up . social life Of their own which
will more successfully combat the
boss theology Of movies and other
forms Of capitalist entertainment.
The workers can start CORE
spondence groups to tell about the
conditions In Denver, and these let
tiers can be published in the Daily
Worker.
II the workers in the club want to
have q short play that any worker
club can put on, that does not re-
quire much material for scenery, ETC.,
they can write to us and we will send
them short skits or plays about the
class struggle.
Draw In Kids, Too!
Also 1t Is important for workers
and farmers to try to counteract the
boss inf upon their children in
the public schools, etc. They can
start Pioneer groups Of kids, who also
can help sell the Daily Worker, and
have hikes, etc. The Pioneer Maya
zine will give many more suggestions
for them.
We have received another valu-
able suggestion about building Daily
Worker Clubs. This statement reads:
without the help of non-Party
members we will never succeed in
building the circulation Of the Daily
Worker. The Section and Unit Daily
Worker agents should organize such
clubs. The names and addresses Of
