Penetrate New Territory
During Recruiting Drive
BY JOHN WILLIAMSON.

OUR Party is sinking its roots into new strata
v of workers and Party units and districts have
been built in completely new sections of the
country. Since the Sixth National Convention
four new districts have been organized. two of
them In the South and two in the Middle West
There are opportunities for creating additional
new districts in such territory as New Orleans,
Oklahoma, Texas, and subdividing existing dis
tricts Only the question Of forces is problem.
The CT in its open letter to the Party in
the early part of 1929, said:
"The Party can become mass proletarian
Party only on condition that it widens its base
by creating its main strongholdS in the ranks
of the American workers, especially in the most
important branches of industry, and also
among the Negro workers, while at the same
time retaining its positions among the revo-
lutionary immigrant workers"
This still remains our guiding policy and In
the present recruiting drive each district should
deliberately orientate to start new Party nuclei
in localities until now untouched. Of course,
this in no way limits the existing nuclei In their
recruiting activities
The geographical extent Of the majority of
our districts is immense. They are larger In
area than many European countries. In each
district there are tens of good sized industrial
cities where our Party hasn't a single member,
not to speak Of scores of smaller towns. We
must choose certain number of these and strive
to establish Party units so that our recruiting
drive will not only result in numerical growth
of our Party organization into new localities,
where on the basis Of development of local strug-
gle, the Party will In turn grow locally.
In Chicago district, which covers Illinois, In
diana, the industrial part of Wisconsin, the city
of st. Louis and few cities in Iowa, we have
not made much progress in establishing Party
units in new territory. In the last four months
we have organized new units in Westyille, Ill;
Decatur, ILL.,; Clinton, Indiana; Bicknell, Ind.
reorga,iized): Chicago Heights, ILL.,: Cudahs
Wise; South Milwaukee, Wise; Waukesha,
Wise. and in Chicago organized one new nucleus
and in Milwaukee two new nuclei During this
same period two shop nuclei in Chicago were
dropped primarily through the 1ayoff OF mem
bers in the shops.
lie at least dozen new units in small industrial
the Indiana State Conference on Unemployment

towns, yet in the section of Indiana exclusive
Of Calumet, we only have Party units so far in
three towns. In Pana, the workers are demand
ing an organizer and in various parts of the
coal fields, there are excellent possibilities to
organize new units.
While the most important base for the Party is
the large industrial centers we must not neglect
towns, which are sometimes exclusively indus
trial, between 10000 and 100000 population.
Every district has such towns and in developing
the recruiting drive. due attention must be
given them.

Hot Stuff for StimsOn

The following came along Just in time 70

Dear Jorge:-The following is a new and
original version of that sad and gripping story
known as The Man Without Country
zone day last week friend and I we're
wandering through downtown Chicago, when
we stumbled across the consulate of Russia.
We decided to drop In and see how the consul
business was coming along. A firm of law
yers occupied most of the floor space but in a
small corner was the office of the consul. He
was not irl--the small room had the air Of q
house from which the tenants have been
evicted-business was manifestly not very
good.
"a young woman supplied us with an ad-
dress, where she assured us the consul could
be found. A brisk, twenty-minute walk
brought us to the shabby near North Side
section of the city and behind the counter of
corner drug store we found our man trying
to decide where a box of White Owls could
be placed to greatest advantage.
eve decided to pose as couple Of des-
perate workers willing to take chance even
in Bolshevik Russia, where, we had heard,
labor was in demand 1t was amusing TO
watch the change from clerk to consul; he
Immediately became dignity personified and
led us to small room in back Of the store.
First, he said, We must be clear on one
point. he was not representative Of the
Soviet Government-he made face when he
said that. However, he was in a position to
supply us with information as to conditions
in Russia, how to get there, etc. But. having
to maintain downtown office cost money,
SO we could have this information for the
small consideration of $3.50

leave. Even Russian consul can learn from

&4~.A
Situation Wanted-Male"
BY JORGE

A reader in Philadelphia sends us a clipping
from last Saturdays Evening Bulletin which
again gives us reason to think that something
remains for inhabitants of that village to over
come besides the fred peril featured by
Brother Rogers of the Union Labor Record.
We have, in short, discovered that one man
in Philadelphia is out of a job. 1t is touching
case. One which must make even the heart Of
a building trades BUSINESS agent bleed with
pity
You are cautioned to be calm, take cold
drink of water and compose yourself to with
stand the shock.
We take up the clipping. 1t is from the want
ad pages. And here in the middle OF column
is the familiar SITUATIONS WANTED
MALE" We stop to warn you that If you have
weak heart, read no further.
Underneath the above heading, and third In
line, tucked away between an Auto Washer
and Sinonizer" who strangely says he desires
steady position" and Butler or Valet who
also strangely says he is Irish" yet docs not
drink we find the following:
BANKER, progressive policies thorough
training 10 years experience, %, excellent

A banker looking for job! The rationalza-
ton of robbery must have gone far. The reader
suggests that Stain might give him Job dig
ging bitches All hal You forget. that would
be forced labor" Bankers demand different
treatment. Like gangsters they hold out that
"Only saps work" And civilization would
perish if they were required to actually and
literally follow the scripture: 'In the sweat Of
thy brow thou shalt earn thy bread" The
original decree on forced labor" Anyhow, they
don't believe in the bible except to keep the
"lower classes" contented in their misery.
There's one hope. He says he is banker
with progressive policies" Quick, Watson we
have discovered another subject for Love-

again in the sixth. The col
ored boy spotted Thompson

1865 pounds to Thompson's
1872. Cyclone was given the
surprise of his life early in
the first when Bearcat
downed him with a right
upper cut. He was up quick
ly and went down with an
other right for a count of
five. Cyclone rallied and
had an edge in the third
and fourth rounds. The fifth
was even. Baker took the
sixth by a wide margin.
Baker boxed very well in
the first two rounds, and
then developed the habit of
pitching his right hand, in
stead of stabbing with his
left and punching with his
right, as he did earlier in
the bout.
Baker is only II years
old and is rapidly develop
ing into a first rate heavy
weight. He has fought 81
battles, losing only six.
