help.
Norwood is carrying mass work among the
unemployed and building Of mass organizations.
Only four members we're recruited within the
last week. I am sure that comrades In Norwood
can do much more than this II you Just do the
following:
l. Involve in the recruiting all fractions In
the mass organizations shop nuclei members,
every Party member working in the Birds Limo
leum and the Norwood press, Tanney Shop and
other plants.
q Already the comrades must demand Or
ganizational results for the Party from the I'M
employed work Here young American workers
can be recruited both for the Party and VOL.
A weekly check up must be made on all these
fractions and comrades Norwood has come
long way to smash its past isolation from mass

Keeping New Members
AS this is written at least 100 new members
can be recorded as new recruits since Dec. !. In
some units, Maynard, South End, Gardner, Dud-
ley ST., the membership has increased 100 per
cent. Other units are beginning to show real
life in the present recruiting drive major
task before us today is how to keep these new
members A few suggestions on this are timely
l. The unit buro must have on its agenda
at every meeting the recruiting campaign. This
does not mean that it simply takes up the ques-
ton of how many members were recruited. Con-
slider very carefully the question Of how many
of these recruited got membership books, how
many of them have attended the first meeting
and have kept up regular attendance at meetings,
which Of the new members are able to under
take responsible tasks. How many Of the new
members are attending classes for new mem
bers. Take up the question of personal and
individual attention to these new recruits.

be assigned special tasks in connection with the

Shop Papers and City Bulletins.
This month District issued 2 shop papers.
One in the Hood Rubber, Boston and one in the
Tubular Rivet shop in Quincy. New shop papers
are in preparation in Norwood in the Tannery
Shop and on the waterfront in Boston.
Lawrence reports that they decided to issue
shop paper in the Wood Mill These decisions
and plans still await execution. 1t should not
take weeks and months to issue shop paper.
Since we have comrades working in these shops
we have information of the conditions and
should have no difficulty to issue shop paper
before Feb. Is. Peabody, Lynn should take up
the question Of issuing city bulletin to be
published once month. This bulletin should be
in the name of the Communist Party and deal
with the Party campaigns in the particular city
well as the particular problems Of the workers.
In the shops, these shop papers and city bull
letins are the Party expression and the Party
face before the workers in the locality or shop.
The shop paper or bulletin if properly handled
and carefully prepared can and must become
the collective Party organization and agitator
among the worker. For more information on
how to establish these please communicate with
the District Office.
Each Important Shop Fortress Of Communism!

and Building Trades Workers.
