gathering their forces to defeat the wage-cut
and for immediate relief. These questions will
have to be answered. Otherwise the miners of
Illinois will have to fight against Ansboury as
one of the worst demagogues The miners can
not depend on AnsboTy. They must build their
own movement, their own struggle against the
ones who are against the demands of the miners,
which is, in short, defeat of the wage-cut and for
immediate relief for unemployed miners.
The outstanding task confronting the oppos-
ton movement in Illinois is to unite their ranks
on the program of struggle, and this cannot be
done by flirting around with Ansboury or other
semi-progressive elements, but by organizing
their own leadership for struggles. The present
lockout of the miners must be turned into
strike and the strike can be won if the strike
movement will be put into motion. The miners
in Franklin County are on the move. 1t is very
necessary to consolidate this movement and give
it militant leadership. These are the problems
of the miners of Illinois. The miners in Illinois
can learn much from the struggles of the miners
in Pennsylvania, Ohio, West Virginia and Ken
lucky, led by the National Miners Union, and
also of the struggles of the miners in the an
thracte coal fields, led by Maloney, where they
met defeat, because of the leadership of Maloney
1t is against such elements as Maloney, Ed
mundson, that the miners must open fire for
the purpose of winning the miners in struggle
for their own immediate needs, The unity Of
the miners in the struggle in Illinois and In
diana and other fields is essential. This unity
can be established only on the basis of struggle
against Lewis Walker, Edmundson and Ans
boury, on the basis Of united rank and file
against the coal operators and their best allies,
the Walkers Lewises and Edmundsons.
Forward to the struggle Of the miners to de-
feat the wsge-cuts and for immediate relief Tor

This Is So Simple

That we wonder the cartoonist Goldberg
Never thought of that -
For months the capitalist papers have been
shouting cries of alarm at proposals in Congress
supposed. somewhat fictitiously, to tax the rich
higher on incomes.

The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1932-05-17

IN preparing for the District Convention, the
District Bmo has correctly decided upon a
number of meetings with comrades involved in
various phases of mass work, in order to discuss
with them, in line with the decisions of the 14th
Plenum of the Party, the causes for our weak
nesses, and isolation from the decisive sections
Of the workers in the U S.
These meetings have helped us to draw in
hundreds of comrades into the pre-conventon
preparation and discussion of our District, for
the improvement of our work. These meetings
have once again shown the correctness of the
resolution of the Central Committee especially
as applied to our District. want to touch a few
points dealing with shop work. in this article, in
order to show clearly what our basic weaknesses
are, and what we must do in order to overcome
them.
In the meeting that we held with comrades
in shop nuclei, and those working in large shops,
conrade after conrade got up and showed the
possibilities of work inside the factory. At the
same time proved that while nucleus exists,
that while shop paper is being issued, never
theless our unit is isolated from the workers
inside the shop Why is this so? 1t is due to the
fact that we have very little experience in shop
work, and that the experience we do have we do

war upon the Soviet Union; we constantly re-
mind them that in 19l4-1918 millions of work
ers were crippled. MANNED and killed. How
about the distribution of our literature dealing
with war? Isn't it reasonable to believe that our
pamphlets showing the in China the peace
proposals of the Soviet Union, the only country
that wants peace etc, will have a tremendous
effect upon the workers reading this for the
first time?
In all our campaigns and in all our material,
we must again emphasize that our work will be
haphazard and distant unless we bring that
close, firm personal contact between the workers
and ourselves. The Party members must forget
that they are in little chosen kingdom. off by
themselves, watching and directing the mass Of
workers off in the distance.
All in all, we see that the immediate tasks OF
the Party can be made easier through the proper
organzational distribution of literature. This
work can be made much easier for the Party as
a whole if every individual comrade realizes the
position he is in--that of an individual organ
izer that, with the distribution of literature he
becomes an individual Party orgc7izer; that with
the proper distribution of literature he leaves
with the worker the final summation of the
whole controversy in this system.
If we want to make the coming election cam
paign success if we want to turn the sigma
lures that we received into Communist votes, we
must understand that this can only be done by
the leaving of literature with this worker. Be-
cause in our attempts to get this workers sigma
ture, our arguments may have been hasty and
hurried, and may have been incomplete because
our main desire was to get the signature The
piece of literature left may be just the necessary
thing to turn this signature into Communist
vote, or even a member of revolutionary or
ganization or the Communist Party.

versely, there are few or no in.
stances of any community which has
a properly directed and supported
health department which has not
been able to exhibit proofs of les
sened tuberculosis mortality.
"A second is the fact that tubercu-
losis still maintains its place as one
of the diseases most frequently
named on our death certificates.
Fortunately, in almost all communi-
ties. there have been very many and
noticeable proofs that this undue
prominenct is being successfully at
tackled, but there is still room for
great improvement. 1t still takes its
toll largely among that group of our
population the removal of whicl
contributes largely to our commun-
ity burdens. 1t is still in many com
munities the Captain of the Men Of
Death
"A recent article by one of the
leading statisticians of the United
States shows that the State of Del
aware has made very marked pro-
gress in the reduction of tuberculo-
sis losses in the years between l9'
and 1929. In this nine year period,
the rate has fallen from 146 per
hundred thousand to 80, a percent
age gain which is exceeded by but
four of all the states which were III

cent greater than has been expert

THE significance of this is at once
apparent if one comedies that there
is any connection between anti-tu-
berculosis effort and the reduction
of tuberculosis losses. 1t entirely
lacks significance if it is considered
that the change is fortuitous one
wholly unrelated to the machinery
of control which has been provided !
for the State. The important place
