While the call for Coupon Books
RaS sent out nearly two weeks ago,
very few have been returned to this
office. This responsibility on the
part Of comrades has created an
alarming situation. 1t means that
hundreds of dollars belonging to the
Daily Worker are still outstanding
In the districts. This is all the more
important in view of the fact that
the Daily needs every dollar that it
can lay its hands on to prolong it's
life during the autumn and winter
months. Districts and Sections must
take Immediate action to see that
all coupon books are Immediately
sent in to the National Office of the
Daily Worker, together with the
proper funds collected on them.
Every book is numbered and must
be accounted for, before we can say
the campaign is closed. Emphasize
this fact In all Unit letters. so that
In the next few days the Daily
Worker will be met with a barrage
of books and funds. This is the most
important item on your Daily
Worker Agenda, so don't fail to men
ton it adequately at meetings. I'm
with accompanying funds will boost
percentages of weaker districts in
the campaign.
The drive for funds will not be

quota. To date Is districts are be-

DETROIT, Mich.-The Unemployed
Council of Hazel Park, a suburb of
Detroit, Mich, is resisting another
eviction case of one of its members.
Constable Henry came with the
usual legal" papers to throw this
unemployed worker and his wife and
three children into the street. But
Mr.. Henry found g large crowd of
men and women waiting for him. He
gave us the line that he had done all
he could and was sorry and now had
nothing to do but to put the family
out in the street.
The spokesman for the Council
told Mr.. Henry that one of their func-
tons was TO resist evictions, law or
no law. Our brave constable then
beat hasty retreat, presumably to
get reinforcements, guns, gas and
other implements of war like they

HYATTSVILLE, Md, September 26.-
The Baltimore Boulevard between Hy-
attsville and Bladensburg. now paved
and widened, was opened to traffic yes
terday.
With the exception of short stretch
at Bladensburg the portion opened yes
teroay marks the completion OF the
widening of the Boulevard from the
District line to HyattSville.
At Bladensburg the work of widening
the bridge over the Northwest Branch
has not yet been completed, although
the project has advanced all Summer
without interruption to traffic.
It Is also planned TO transform the
sharp left turn at the Peace Cross into
a sweeping arc, but work on this has
been delayed because Of difficulties in
securing rights of way.
AS a result, short rough stretch of
road remains north of the Peace Gross.
Because Of this and other small uncom-
pleted features of the roadway, the de-
tour signs directing traffic to Hyattsville
via Rhode Island avenue will remain
in place for several days to come. How
ever, the barriers are down and all who
care to do SO may travel over the new
roadbed.
The boulevard from the District line
to Bladensburg is now 40 feet wide,
while between BladenSburg and Hyatts-
vile 1t is about IS feet wide. Two
bridges in addition to the one near
the Peace Cross, have been widened in
connection with The paving Of the road.
After the bridge and road at the
Peace Cross have been widened the
Northwest Branch there will be dredged
to prevent future flooding of the boule-
ward

Association.
"Under the national defense act of
1920, the American policy is based upon
dependence upon industry for the
products of munitions in the event of
war While progress has been made
in the design of types of American
military equipment, very few have &C.
tually been manufactured While ad-
vocates of national defense favor a
limited supply Of the newer types for
use of the Regular Army. the principal
objective is the ability of industry to
manufacture these types after war is
declared"
