has made it much easier to build 1t
into mass paper. This is shown
not only in the new assurance and
handle the Daily, but also in the
way new workers respond to our
paper.
Several days ago few members
of the YCL sold 81 Daily Workers
in front of the big Fisher Body
plant in a very short time. If the
same effort were made day in and
day out this number could be in
creased tenfold. At recent unem-
ployed open air meeting over SO Daily
Workers we're sold without difficulty
as aresultof effective popularization
by the chairman who also convinced
employed workers to buy copies for
the unemployed workers in the audi
ence. Last Friday night, on the eve
of the national trade union confer
ence, Mother Bloor herself sold more
than a hundred Dailies from the
platform at big mass rally at Public
Square. There is not factory in
Cleveland today where, as result
of the Recovery Act and the conse-
quent strike sentiment of the work
ers, the Daily" could not be sold. The
same is true of every city in Ohio.
1t remains for the whole district
to take full advantage of this situa-
ton. The entire leadership, from the
district committee to the unit buros,
must understand that without the
Daily Worker it is impossible to Gre
ate, least of all to cement, strong
ties with the decisive sections of the
Ohio workers. There is no time to
be lost.
From this point of view our dis
trict welcomes the publication of the
letter from a Cleveland reader in
the editorial column of the Daily
Worker. 1t should help to rouse the
whole Party and especially the dis
trict leadership to keener and more
responsive attitude towards the Daily
Worker.
The District intends to break once
for all with the old, politically ire
sponsible and passive handling of the
Daily" AS a beginning we have
worked out a plan which has al
ready begun to be put into practice.

Parry seriously, and attempted to act
on them.
The letter he received from CIar-
ence Senior, executive secretary Of
the Socialist Party, with its tone Of
the cynical politician, contrasts
shar,ly with the healthy desire for
working class struggle and unity for
which BRENT is rebuked.
These two letters emphasize again
how sharply the line must be drawn
between the corrupt and consciously
misleading leadership OF the Social
ist Party and the rank and file who,
in the great majority of cases, have
joined the party in the honest belief
that it would lead them into genuine
working class struggles. 1t empha-
sizes how incorrect it is to lump the
not yet disillusioned membership of
the Socialist Party with the treacher-
Gus leaders who have organized them
for the express purpose of paralyzing
their will to struggle

81 realized fully that if this rotten
system was to be wiped from the face
of the earth, the workers would have
to do it themselves. l was an
formed that the Socialist Party was
a militant organization which was
uniting all workers of all colors,
creeds and nationalities in great
struggle to create workers govern
ment. I joined &. I was surprised
to find that in6oor meetings and an
occasional written petition was the

When he noticed the lack OF Ne
groes in the organization, he was told
that the Negro wasn't interested in
struggle, that maybe some Cay they
would organize local where the Me-
grocs could be by themselves.
Moving to Philadelphia, and find
ing that the only activity was trying
to elect enc CT the leaders to the
state legislature, he joined the
Friends Of the Soviet Union, and
began to distribute F.SU. literature
at Socialist meetings. Then the So
cislists called a united front meeting,
at which one of their leaders de-
manled that the meeting be called
eff because Communists were partici-
pating.

and most of those left working are
working only three Or four days a
week. Only about 10 per cent of
the workers are getting the minimum
wage or more, while about another
10 per cent get between $40 and SIS
a week The rest. which constitute
80 per cent, or the majority get ANY,
where between 81 and $40 week.
This is the NR.A. in reality in the
textile Industry.
There have been many walk -outs
since the codes went into effect,
against speed-up and low wages, in
many departments. Every time the
U. T. w, which practically has all
the Amoskeag workers in it, told the
workers to go back to work, and
that they would fix things for them,
They did. Up to date, the work
ers are working at the same starva-
ton levels as before the codes vent
into effect, except that now they
have at least 80 per cent more speed
up, machipery added, etc.
The workers are more and more
revolving against their U.T.W. lead
ership. Last week, three departments
walked out. There is great deal
of rumbling going ON hare and lot
OF strike talk. All points indicate a
coming great storm.

him. He defended his action, and the
rank and file members of his loca,
unanimously voted against his expul-
SIGN.
Surprised at the action of the exec
utive, he reported it to Clarence
Senior, national executive secretary
CT the party.
II am sorry to say that cannot
feel much sympathy for you in
your present situation" Senior
answered. 1.-THE Socialists of Phil
~Sclphia, as well as many other
5 in this country, have discoy-
that to give aid to Communist
nizations while the Communist
.-..y is fighting us most bitterly is
a little bit lacking in realism.
IL you have proved by activities in
behalf OF Socialism in Philadelphia
that you. are a Socialist, l hope
that drastic acton will not be
taken"
When he was arrested for speak
ing at a meeting to protest an evic-
ton, the only organization which
went into action was the Interna-
tional Labor Defense. His Socialist
friends were conspicuously absent.
Continental Congress Last Straw
The last straw came when BRENT
was elected delegate of the Phila-
delphia Technical League to the So
cialist-led Continental Congress in
Washington, and twas astounded to
find that all Communist organiza-
tons were refused representation"
This Congress could and should
have been the beginning of tre-
msndous onslaught of the working
class of America upon the present
rotten and decayed system. Instead,
because of the treachery Of the So
cialist misleaders, it was just an
ether lesson in the gentle art Of los
ing battle after battle to our worst
enemy. -.
These Socialist leaders are laying
plans at the present time to lead the
American workers into the same
trap that the workers in Germany
and in Spain were recently led into
by their Socialist takers. -.
Experience has taught me that
the Communist Party is intelligently
and courageously leading all work
ers into an effective struggle for a
workers government and workers
world. The outstanding example Of
this fact is the Soviet Union. -.

among the comrades and Sympa-
thizers.
The sharp criticism contained in
this letter is fully deserved. There
is not a single excuse for the passive
attitude of the district leadership
towards the Daily Worker. Such in
difference merely expresses the lack
of political understanding of the
importance of the Daily Worker as
mass agitator and organizer, espe-
cially at the present time. 1t shows
that we did not grasp the full mean
ng CT the Open Letter which places
5he circulation of the Daily Worker
rs one of the most important con-
centration tasks of the Party.
There are more than $50 Commu-
mss in Youngstown. Yet our ties
with the workers in the steel mills
ran be counted on few hands, al
thoush our Party has worked for
years in youngstown. just imagine
how much farther we would have
been had the time and energy of
thee $50 comrades been spent in
securing at least $50 steel readers
OF the Daily Workerl The same ap-
plies for the whole district. Had
tie 1000 Communists in Ohio spent
the two years of their membership
in the Party to secure at least five
readers of the Daily Worker each,
the Party would have been an i'm
Porsant factor in the present situa-
ton. Ten THOUSAND readers of the
Daly Worker would have meant
more in the struggles of the Ohio
p2olc.er.at today than scores of dem
c;,-3orat.ons which consumed the pre-
cicus time and energy of our Party
mem lers.
During the past month, the strike
wave in Cleveland alone has brought
rs into contact with more than three
thc1sand workers in nearly a dozen
plants Our trade union movement
registered the greater bulk of these
workers. Yet the Daily Worker has
played a very small role in their
aSrugglss and is hardly known to

not state whether you are machine

the following:
a. Rub your face every morning
with a cake of ice. This will help the
iceman!
b Squeeze the juice out Of five
peeled cucumbers from which the
seeds have been removed. Let the
juice dry for 20 minutes on your face
and neck. Then apply sour cream
and leave 1t for 10 minutes. Then
wash face with warm water and ap-
ply one of the skin tonics advertised
for 81 and not worth a nickel box
You'll then have peaches and
cream complexion-maybe!

methods above by eating the cucurn-
