HOW TO RECRUIT FROM SHOPS

From recent experiences we know that not
only can we recruit workers from shops, but
once they are recruited they are more apt to
remain in the Party. OF the large turnover Of
membership, those recruited from factories con-
tribute proportionatey a smaller percentage
than those recruited from general meetings or
even unemployed councils.
Basically the section leadership must pay at
tention to individual comrades working in shop,
take up with them the specific campaign con-
Quoted and how he or she can carry this cam

fore essential for the section to know the posi-
ton of the comrade in the shop; his department,
the number of workers in his department, how
many connections he has in his own depart
ment, in the shop, what are the basic and i'm
mediate grievances in the shop, and how these
should be explained and classified to the work,
by personal talk of the comrades inside without
exposing themselves as Communists and through
leaflets and other means outside, to bring about
the development of the issue in the shop.

RI Is now necessary for us to take the proper
steps to continue the fight and broaden and
deepen the tremendous United Front movement
Of the masses from below which was expressed
in the National Hunger March and the support
1t received throughout the country. This United
Front was successful mainly because 1t was
based on the concrete everyday needs Of the
masses and was therefore able to Withstand the
ranks Of the workers and smash the Hunger
March.
It is necessary for us to guard our own
means Of weakening this United Front.
The Bosses Change Tactics.
The defeat Of the maneuvers Of the Hoover
Wall st. government in attempting to create q
"red scare" compelled them to retreat and
adopt new methods to be used in smashing the
movement for immediate relief and unemploy-
n1ent insurance expressed In the Hunger March.
Their aim was to disperse this movement See
ing they were not able to smash the movement
by force, they entered into a campaign to win
the leadership Of the movement away from our
party and to lquidate this movement.
In this campaign, the newspapers played an
important role First they ridiculed the march
then attempted to minimize its results and
break up the ranks of the unemployed through
careful campaign Of social demagogy. This was
expressed not only in speeches of politicians
but also in the maneuvers made by police in
many cities in pretending friendship with the
march in number of cities. In Conn, this
was expressed in the friendly" attitude of the
police toward the Hunger March in Norwalk

lvlAAember loKS, now the capitalist news
papers said that Major GIassford, superintendent
of the Washington d. c.. police, was big
hearted in his treatment of the National Hum

True after it was over the same newspapers

Marchers out by making them walk the longest.

somewhere i'll Washington But the Marchers
didn't mind that much they got better
chance that way to bring their message to the
Washington workers Which shows that some
times major Of the U. S. Army falls a bit short
in intelligence
However, GlaSsford was said to have been
very consderate" of the needs of the Hunger
Marchers. They hungered-and he fed them
And so forth. Also, he voted against turning

this was not from kindness, but from having
seen with his own eyes how the Gar got messed
up by such tactic
Still, he was big hearted" And doubtless
many figured out that Major Glassford was just
one of those kindly, fatherly old men that re-
cruiting posters picture army officers to be, and
that he simply couldn't bear to see the Hunger
Marchers go hungry so he gave them to eat
(this is beginning to sound bblicaD.
But 1t came to pass, that on the morning OF
JAN 4, the Washington Daily News set forth
that His Nibs, Major Glassford walking through
judiciary Square on the way to what passeth
for work" was halted by the Plea OF some poor
devil:

case, jointly are big hearted" when solicited
for something to eat, only when the solicitation
is accompanied by something like national
demonstration of the masses.
Another Moral When big enough masses get
into action-and see that you do it, boys and
girls, on February 4th-and afterward-they
will not only give you something to eat, but un-
employment insurance. And when still bigger
masses get into still more action, all these ma
jors and police superintendent will be chucked

This shows two things. One, that the bour-
geoise finds it difficult to consolidate it's rule
in the face Of the fercely revolutionary up
heaval Of the masses. Second, it shows that the
bourgeoisie, rather than yield to the revolution
airy masses, is ready to come to terms with the
monarchists and the church it pretends to
flight" in order to consolidate all forces of re-
action against the masses.
One thing more it shows, is that in order to
carry the bourgeois democratic revolution
through, to carry out the agrarian revolution
first of all, and to prepare thus the path to the
socialist revolution, the Communist Party must
attain leadership of the decisive majority of the
masses first of all the proletariat
Indications are that the Communist Party of
Spain, repressed savagely under the monarchy
and the fascist regimes of De Rivera and Beren-
guer, weakened as well by some years of oppor-
tur1ism of all shades Is clearing out these latter
obstacles and is fast growing in influence and
positive fighting capacity M
One indication of this is the establishment of
numerous papers of the Party well rooted in and
gaining enormous support from the masses
Foremost in these is the new daily paper, central
organ of the Communist Party of Spain, the
''Mundo Obrero" workers World.
Published in Madrid the "Mundo Obrero" be-
ginning on November IT, has been thorn in
the side Of the bourgeoisie and its servants, the
Socialists" But the workers have responded
with devoted defense and support of their Com
munist daily. 1t is written in vigorous rebel
style, and, exposing every move of the class
enemy, it counters with the proposals of the
Communist Party.
The Daily Worker feels that it expresses the
solidarity of every revolutionary worker of the
United States in wishing the "Mundo Obrero"
success In rallying the toiling masses OF Spain
to victorious revolutionary struggle
From time to time the Daily Worker Will
translate significant articles from our brother
paper, 'Mundo Obrero," so that American work
ers may know something Of the stormy revoIu-
tionary advance Of the Spanish masses.

Do Not Permit "Leftist' Errors to Liquidate the
Results of the Hunger March,

ample, the Chief of Police gave orders not to
arrest anyone connected with the Hunger
March, and on two occasions he ordered the
release of workers arrested for activities in con-
nection with the Hunger March Undoubtedly
similar instances took place in various parts OF
the country.
Editorial In Capitalist Paper Demands Change
in Tactics =.
An open demand for the change in tactics was
expressed in an editorial appearing in the Port
chester IN. " Item of Dec. 9th This editorial
called on the police to refrain from interfering
with the Hunger March parace and denlonstra-
ton arranged for that city and states that care
full methods must be used to win the unem-
ployed workers from the influence of radicals

leadership which has actively and directly en-
deavored to capture their interest"
The bosses will intensity their efforts to win
the leadership of the unemployed masses from
the Party and smash the United Front move
ment for immediate relief and Unemployment
Insurance. In this they rely, not only on their
own maneuvers but on the hope that our own
shortcomings will weaken the movement. They
rely on ID that we will allow the movement to
die down, and (2) that leftst actions of the
Party will aid in isolating it from the mass OF
the workers. In its statement published in the
Daily Worker OF Dec. 18th, the &C shows the
determination Of the Party not to allow the
movement for unemployment insurance and i'm
mediate relief to lessen but to use the Hunger
March to broaden the fight for the demands of
the unemployed

The Voice of Revolution in Spain

derous "CiviI Guard and ten more wounded,
when, according to the Associated Press, q

hall where the rich men of the town were
amusing themselves.
This Is just one Of the incidents daily hap

in continual struggle, shedding the illusion that
the end Of the monarchy meant better life
under the republic. Rarely II ever do the
American capitalist papers print anything at all
Of these events which, in their totally, reflect
the rising revolutionary wave OF the Spanish
masses.
These masses are finding that with the bour-
geosie in power, even the return of the mon
archy is possible, since across the border in
France, Alfonso the Bloody is plotting, together
with the Catholic Church. for restoration to the
throne from which he never abdicated. Also
from the beginning Of the republic, the bourgeois
politicians like 1arnora and Lerroux, aided by
