ond, but there will be eagerness TO be
among the first in every city, town
or village to win the honors, in this
new campaign.
Each community is to be divided
into districts and industrial units and
an officer team assigned. The work
ers M be chosen from the commun-

cooperation of the Labor unions. Ey-
