Meetings of the Communist Party
and of revolutionary organizations, as
q rule, do not display revolutionary
discipline A meeting or demonstra-
ton is a revolutionary action, and
each member of the Party and every
revolutionary worker must recognize
that revolutionary discipline is funda-
mental if the army of the working
class is to pass through its training,
become mature for the bigger
struggles and for the final struggle
for the overthrow of the system.
The Madison Square Garden dem
onstration in honor of Lenin-Lieb-
knecht- Luxemburg will be another
occasion for the exaction of revolu-
tionary discipline. The meeting must
be orderly-it must show the discip-
line and order that workers conscious
of their duties display.
Hold Ranks and Order.
The District Committee of the
Communist Party calls upon all Party
and Young Communist League men,
bers and all revolutionary workers to
observe the following and as body
to cooperate in making the meeting
a success not only from the stand
point of attendance, but Of revolu-
tionary organization and discipline:
l. The demonstration will begin on
time and every comrade must be in
his seat at 8 p. m.
2. The Party committees in charge
of the demonstration, are the only
ones to be standing about the hall.
3. All other comrades upon enter
ing the Garden shall take their seats
and remain there.
4. No literature shall be sold in the
hall except the Daily Worker, Young

leaders of the demonstration (Ray-

and Minor, will be the main speakers
In addition, a splendid program has
been arranged-a pageant arranged
by the Workers Laboratory Theatre
singing by the Freiheit Singing So
ciety, The Hungarian and Jugoslavic

But above all this will be demon
stration against imperialist war and
against intervention in the Soviet
Union. The workers of New York
will declare with mighty voice;
We demand Immediate Unemploy-
ment Relief and Insurance.
Not a penny for Imperialist War

of this year for naval arms construc-
ton in addition to the $1,200,000, 900
needed for naval arms construction
under the London naval treaty.
On the same day the War and
Navy Department issued reports
showing that for the fiscal year of
1881 $1,127651 $40 would be spent for
war purposes. The New York Times,
commenting on this expenditure, Says
that most of the $1,127,651, 670 ex-
pended by these departments may be
attributed to the cost of wars of the
past and to national defense"

experience, is prepared to carry on

| first, brief report was made by A.
Landy of the editorial staff inviting
full discussion on the shortcomings
of the Daily Worker and what was
necessary to improve it.
One thing was made clear by all
the speakers, The Daily Worker is
improving and it is reaching into Sec
lions of the working class who never
before read a revolutionary news
paper
In order to broaden this type of
meeting, Others like it will be held
throughout the country.
One of the criticisms, repeated by
many of the speakers with concrete
examples, was that the Daily Worker
should simplify its language so that
it can carry its revolutionary message
to workers who have never heard of
such words as class struggle, die
tatorship of the proletariat, etc. An
other suggestion made was that the
back page articles be cut and siInpn-
lied in such manner that the neceS-
sary theoretical direction of the daily
struggles be made understandable to
4 wider strata of workers not in the
Communist Party.
Many of the speakers urged a con-
tinuation of the questions and an
swers column which was just started
Others urged the carrying of a col
umn on the back page for the educa-
ton of new readers ON the meaning
of Communism. so that they could
go back to their shops and factories
and explain the meaning of the Five
Year Plan. Soviets, Communism, ex-
| ploitation, colonial revolutions, Len.
inism. etc.

demands for too much popularity,

SHARP DROP IN SHOE
PRICES REGISTERED
General Schedule Has Been Re-
duced From 10 to Is
Per Cent.
BY the Associated Fress.

By the Associated Fress.
General shoe prices have been cut on
an average of from 10 to IS per cent
during the last four months.
The reduction has been accompar-
led by little or no fanfare, and Is con-
strued in Commerce Department circles
as a move commensurate with the pre-
vailing low price of raw leather. Pres
ent prices of footwear are said to be
lower than at any time since the World
War, and represent real bargains. The
department voiced the unoficial belief
that prices would go no lower.
The initiative in the price cutting, 1t
is said, has been taken by the large dis
tribtuors through their chain store or
CARNATIONS, the most notable instance
being recent one affecting 500 stores
situated in $50 important cities.
Immediate prospects for the shoe
manufacturers are said to be bright. A
curtailment in production of about 80
per cent during November and Deem
Der as compared with the balance Of last
year resulted in depleted inventories,
and many plants are now running at
full capacity, particularly factories pro-
ducing women's shoes for immediate de-
livery.
The position of the United States in
the shoe trade of the world is decidedly
favorable. Exports for 1880 amounted
to 5,757,159 pairs of all kinds of leather
footwear, valued at $12,006,397 while
imports amounted to 3.673.154 pairs
with a total value of $10,12O,675. OF the
latter 88.5 per cent was for women and
misses, with Czechoslovakia supplying 70
per cent OF the entire imports.

CURB SHARES FIRM
IN UPWARD TREND
Public Utilities Are Leaders
in Advance-0ther Groups
Strong.
BY JOHN A. CRONE.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, February 16.-Miscel-
laneous industrials and public utilities
formed the bulk of trading in today's
moderately active and firm curb mar
ket
Pivotal power and light issues, such
as Electric Bond & Share and Amer
lean g. Foreign Power, quickly equaled
their previous 1881 peaks American
Superpower, American CommonwealthS
A and others scored their best levels OF
the year. Cities Service at 20 was frac-
tionally higher and within a shade OF
its 1881 top.
Miscellaneous industrials. especially
motors. amusementS and radios, crowded
the public utilities for market leader
ship in the forenoon. The rise in the
motors got started under the leadership
of the Ford shares especially Ford
Motor of Canada B, which, after gain
of 81 points last week, leaped nearly 8
points in the first few trades today.
Ford Motor of Canada B shares move
very easily, because most of the 10000
shares outstanding are owned by the
Ford family. The small floating supply,
outside of the Ford family, is closely
controlled with the result that they
move much faster than the A stock. of
which there are 1,588,956 shares out
standing. Both classes of stock pay
the same dividend rate-namely, $l.20
O share.
The rise in Ford Motor, Ltd, followed
Berlin cables reporting that Ford of
Germany 1880 profits were $4,000
against S528,000 in 1929 and that the
company would pay a 10 per cent stock
dividend Ford Motor of Germany is a
subsidiary of Ford Motor. Ltd. Stutz
Motor came within fraction of its pre-
vious peak after President Gorrell an
nounced that January shipments were
five times those of the same month of
1880 and untitled orders carried over
into February were 60 per cent greater
than in the same month of last year.
General Theatres Equipment pre-
ferred which was recently placed on
So annual basis, was the first of the
an1usements to hit a new top for the
year. The strength of Loew's common
over on the big board was reflected in
Loew's warrants on the curb. The
warrants gained 112 points to a new
high. The debenture rights, which
were inactive. expire April next.
