them, demanding free food and cloth
ing for the children, immediate re-
lief and unemployment insurance.
The police tried to break up the DEM

GUARD AGAINST SURPRISE MOVE
TO EVICT STRIKING TENANTS

Further incidents in the rent strike
movement occurred today at 1902
Oliville Ave, where a settlement had
been already made.
Although the landlord agreed in
the settlement that he would not
evict any workers, he evicted two
families today, apparently feeling
that the workers were tired of strug-
Cling and would accept this pas
sively. The answer of teh tenants in
this house was the immediate dec
laration of a rent strike. No rent is
to be paid until the landlord fulfills
his agreement and takes back the
two families. Spread the rent strike
movement into every proletarian
neighborhood.

BECK ST. GROUP
WINS ONCE MORE
Stop Eviction and Get
Relief

Wanting to test the strength Of
the Beck st. Block Committee where
a rent strike was recently won and
relief gotten for unemployed work
ers, the landlord sent dispossess to
a tenant at SOL Beck st. The unem-
ployed worker who lives here has
children has his wife just come out
of hospital. The Block Committee
sent telegram to the landlord and
warned of their readiness to strike
again should the eviction be carried
out. The landlord got scared at this
unexpected solidarity and begged that
no strike be declared. He volunteered
to go with committee to get rent
from the Home Relief Bureau.
This was done and months rent
was gotten for the family. The worker
is safe because of organized solidar-
ity.

union officials and democratic ward
healers were desperately trying to
work up the frame-ups so that they
could stand up.
The court was filled with strikers
all of whom were served with copies
of the injunction. Also the pickets
on the line were given copies. The
injunction is to be answered at the
Supreme Court on Wednesday where
the International Labor Defense will
handle the case. The lawyers who
have been active in defending the
pickets are Tauber, Buitenkant,
Drucker and Schwartzbart.
The strikers say that "if the bosses
allied in the Specially Bakery Own
ers united with the socialist news
paper Forward" and their unions
think that injunctions will stop us
from winning the right to eat and
feed our children, they are crazy.

statement has been issued relating to
it: 1--WE accept the policy and leader

the Middle Bronx, express solidarity
with the striking tenants of the
Bronx. we further condemn the So

the workers know strategy too.
The fruits of militant struggle was
again shown today. In the house
opposite 1888 Arrow Ave. the landlord
upon Tearing that a house committee
was being formed in this house, and
having seen the militant stand of the
tenants across the way, decided to
reduce the rent without struggle.
The Upper Bronx Council, who is
leading the Arrow Ave- strike, eau
tons the workers not to look upon
this easy victory as closed incident
and as rule. They point out that
a solid organization is necessary to

statement of the District Commit
tee, New York.
The success or failure of the re-
cruiting drive is not determined alone
by the number of recruits won for
the Party The Central Committee
declared that it would judge the work
of the districts not only by the num-
Der of recruits gained but by whether
they we're obtained from the shops,
by the number of shop nuclei and
shop papers that would be established
during the drive, and whether they
would function as real nuclei.
Judged from this point of view,
the District Committee, making a
review of the recruiting drive in New
York, calls the attention of the MEM
bership of the district to the follow
ing serious shortcomings in the drive
up to the present time:
u the shop nuclei in the large
shops are not recruiting sufficient
workers into the Party. These big
shops are the places where the Party
must entrench itself.
D The Party members Individually
in their shops are not recruiting.
81 The union fractions are failing
to recruit the many militants in the
revolutionary and reformist unions
into the Party. This is very seri-
GUS shortcoming, that must be rec
titled at once.
In order to overcome these weak
nesses in the drive, the District has
decided to call meetings of the shop
nuclei and the comrades working in
large shops, as well as of the lead

Weaknesses and Dangers
in the Recruiting DriVe

ing fractions of all the unions and
leagues The District has also de-
cided to put the nuclei and fractions
into revolutionary competition with
one another, and thus stimulate the
drive.
The District Committee must state
that the fractions in the mass Or
CARNATIONS, fraternal organizations,
clubs, ETC., have carried on their work
far more seriously and systematically
than the shop nuclei and union frac-
tions have done. Although the recru-
its from these organizations are well
come in the Party, as are the mill
tants among the unemployed, it must
be emphasized that the crisis and
particularly the war danger demand
that the Party root itself in the shops
especially of heavy industry. We
must recruit a far higher percentage
of Negro and women workers. The
age of the recruits is high, indicating
that the Party members are doing
little among the young workers in the
shops.
The drive is half over, the orienta-
ton is not a correct one for concen-
tration in the present war situation
1t shows that the Party is not yet
turning its attention or activity to
the war industries This turn r,,ust
be made, and quickly.
