values the shipment alone went
high in silver.
This is approximately half

This shipment consisted of g.

HOW is 1T EXPLAINED
How it is possible that during
the recruiting drive we brought in
to the Party 1900 workers monthly
and after the drive 1900 or less?
Could we explain this with the fact
that the workers are not willing
to join the Party in the summer,
but only in the winter? Is it pos
sible that our comrades participate
ing in all the struggles, visiting
personally such huge number Of
workers, could not succeed in get
ting large number into the Party?
We can answer all these question
with an emphatic NO. The fact
is that we did not try to recruit

the lousy sum Of lac approximately

Department, realizing that the work

ity of capitalism, give him this?
No, it is given to him because the
city knows that it will get So in work
from the worker for every dollar it
gives him.
After waiting in line for many
hours, the worker gets in to see the
head faker of the Poor Department,
Mr.. johnson. There he is pedigreed,
much like a criminal and carefully
investigated. If he owns property, he
gets no relief. Many people own
homes, but are unemployed. and can
not sell their homes, yet the simple
fact that they are burdened with a
taxable home is sufficient reason for
them to starVe. If they have a radio,
they get no relief. Many workers
scrimped and scraped enough to buy
home, and now, being unemployed
through no fault of their own, they
will lose their homes for non-pay-
ment of taxes.

If the worker is found absolutely
destitute, that is, without owning
property, a home. or anything, he is
given food bill, the princely sum
of 14c per person. This food bill
can only be brought to certain stores
in town. If the stores charge more
than other groceries, the worker must
deal there just the same. These

Worker i'm U.S.S.R.

Rest With Full Pay

The following letter was sent by an
American worker from Voronhezh, in
the Soviet Union, where he is now
working:
Voronezh, US.S.R.
Dear Comrade:
have just returned from my va
cation, which lasted two months. My
own case is an illustration of how
conditions are in the Soviet Union.
On the 9th Of May the health COM
mission Of this city decided that I
must take vacation. The 9th of
that very same month I was in q
beautiful rest home in the pine woods
some $50 miles from here. Upon
leaving, two thirds of my month
pay was given me, plus railroad fare
there and back. After the first month
received the other third.
The second month also received
full pay. This is how the workers
are being cared for in the land where
they are the bosses.-M. Alexander.

this way.
The worker gets no tobacco or
candy. The city figures that work
ers' children are not entitled to
candy, nor the workers to tobacco.
Only the barest necessities of life
are allowed. No meats, as they are
afraid that if the workers eat meat
they will become ferocious and go
on strike. They are trying to turn
the workers into vegetarians, al
though the bosses wouldn't think Of
sitting down to their meal without
pork chops and chicken.
In exchange for this magnificent
food bill, a worker is forced to work
on construction jobs, city work, and
anything that the city tells him to
do. The city makes sure that it gets
its pound Of flesh. If a man is I'M
accustomed to heavy labor. is physic-
ally unfit, or i'll, it makes no differ

or he is out of luck. The city also
pays the workers gas bill (although
he must not burn too much) half
Of his rent is paid (the other half is
expected to be paid by the Lord God,
although so far he has not paid IT'D
and no light bills are paid. The city
owns the electric light plant, yet the
people are asked to use candles.
A single worker gets no relief
whatsoever, and he is left to starve,
until such a time as he organizes
all the other unemployed and forces
the city to give him relief. When
the workers organize, employed and
unemployed. married and single, Ne
gro and white, they can get every.

Of an all-round consolidation of all
mass organizations, above all the
strengthening of the revolutionary
trade union movement and its
whole organizational system, and
the intensification of work in the
reforrnist trade unions. Otherwise
it is impossible to win over the
majority of the workers for the
Communist Party, and to isolate
the reformist leaders and the So
cial democrats.
The majority of the working class
can only be won over for revolu-
ton by means of persevering work,
only in the struggle for class in
terests of the proletariat. The
Communist Party Germany has
created the basis for it's election
success by its ability to lead the
strike struggles Of a number of
factories, and to resist successfully
the terrorist actions of the fascists.
The ability of the G. P. of Poland
to lead the working masses in their
struggle against the capitalists, and
against fascist state power, has
been the sole means enabling it to
make a tremendous advance to-
wards securing allies among the
masses of the peasantry. And in
Czechoslovakia the C. P. has won
over the sympathies of broad
masses of the reformist and unor-
ganized workers solely by the fact
that it undertook the leadership
of the miners struggle. Solely
the struggle of the proletariat can
draw over to its side those broad
