Afro American, Baltimore: "This

hundreds of them, white and black

Argus, st. Louis: Something I'M
usual happened in the affairs of men
at Chicago when Negro, James w.

the Communist Party's candidate for

This, we think, is a pretty good
start for a new order of things in
this country.
Cincinnati Bulletin (By Reflex

the activities of the Communist
Party. He has been in close touch
with the doings of their National
Convention at Chicago last week. The
results were that Negro was named
as the candidate on the ticket for
the Vice-President of the United
States. They named a Negro from
the southern state, Alabama, as the
candidate. What does all this mean?

HOW TO RUN MEETINGS
Dear Comrades

Dear Comrades.
In my recent experiences in attend
ing Communist agitational meetings,
speakers succeeding each other shout
ed stereotyped phrases in parrotlike
manner. referring to a multiple OF
subjects instead of attempting to con.
cretely treat single subject for the
purpose of clarity.
For better results in this election
campaign I would suggest that our
open-air meetings be arranged in the
following manner: There shall be a
chairman who in very brief man.
ner will introduce the speakers, at
tend to the immediate tasks of an
notncements, sale of literature, etc;
preliminary brief speaker on a
current topic and one speaker who
will speak on the main announced
topic in its entirety in such way
that will arouse the interest of his
audience to the end of a discussion
by questions and answers.
Yours for immediate unemployment
relief,

Hoover's conference in Washington

Mayor Cermak of Chicago paid the
Republican Party $15oooo to have
the convention held here, and spent
thousands of dollars of city money
to decorate downtown Chicago and
Madison st. He had money for this,
though none for the jobless, not even
enough to pay the school teachers.
Every effort to persuade the work
ing class districts to decorate with
flags OF bunting failed. There are
no decorations of any sort put up

eviction struggles of the unemploy-

always given to the landlords against
the workers. NO writ to put furni-
ture back into home has ever been

The star witnesses for the proSecu-
ton were two of the young finks hired
to carry the evicted workers furni-
turs to the street. They said that
the deputies had hired them off the
street to do the work. The deputies
had claimed that the men were hired
by the proprietor.
Other witnesses have been mostly
deputy sheriffs and policemen, testi-
flying that they threw the furniture
of two workers households into the
street and that the furniture was put
back.

me many more questions as to the
various things I could do and where
1 had learned to do them, When
they got through talking to me I
had the feeling of an ant looking
up at an elephant. finally con-
WINGED them I was eager to work and
would try to do any task set before
me and do it we'll.
A Dollar a Day
The following morning I reported
to the first address on my list. 1
presented my card of introduction to
the maid and after an interval of
fifteen minutes the lady of the house
came into the reception hall to give
me my instructions. She really was
puzzled as to what my first task
should be as they had three maids,
butler, cook and a gardener, and
had of course never employed any
outside help. Well, felt quite hui
inflated as though I had come to
the door begging for dollar. She
finally decided to have billiard room
cleaned which had not been used in
years. After washing woodwork and
painting walls for the next two hours
I at last was convinced that I had
earned my dollar.
Washing Windows
The next place I washed all the
windows on the second floor and side
and figuring each window at a win
dow washers price of ten cents each
it would have amounted to $3.50 so
again was convinced I had earned
my dollar. then went out to the
garage and ate my lunch. 1 then
went to the next place and was asked
if could whitewash and was set to
work in five-car garage and later
white-Washed the entire basement in
Guiding two gas furnaces and all the
pipes. I had completed my first day
as a man-a-block worker.
The next morning at $50 I re-
ported to the fourth address on my
list which was an elderly lady and
although she undoubtedly was equally
as rich as any of the others on the
avenue, she was just like a mother
to me. She insisted I must have
breakfast which I did eating in the
kitchen with the maid and cook
Each task was set to do was told
to take my time and do it well and
believe my work was satisfactory
as later she gave me several hours
work extra each week.
From there I went to the next
house and the lady there was the
exact opposite. She certainly made
me feel that I was an unwanted OBJ
ject and was only given the work be-
cause it was her duty to do as the
neighbors we're doing. They all dis
played their block posters in
a prominent place in their front win
dows and their duty to charity was
a foremost topic of conversation al
their afternoon bridge parties, later
found out.
Dogs Fare Well
One family had st. Bernard doc
which received his three pounds Of
meat, also three quarts of milk daily
while my two children had one glass
of milk once daily and cheap. cut
of meat once weekly.

HOW TAMMANY STEALS VOTES

Dear Comrades.
Time and time again on my sigma
ture collecting rounds have been
informed of favorite device used by
Tammany to steal votes-especially of
those who are voting for the first
few times. A week before election
they (the Tanlmany Club of the
neighborhooO send out cards inviting
the voters down to the club for in
structfon in the use of the voting
machine. When the workers get down
there, they are taught how to vote
democrat only. They are particu-
larly successful in their scheme in
the sections of foreign born workers.
Couldn't we secure a machine for
demonstration purposes week or so
before election, and send out cards
to all those whose signatures we Sc
cured for putting the Party on the
ballot?
