TROLLERS SEEK KICKER PRICES;
 OUT ON STRIKE
Fresh Fish Market Dead at Ketchikan Seiners
 Said to Be Optimistic

Ketchikan and west coast power trollers are striking for higher prices for fresh fish, according to w. L. Paul, local attorney, who re- turned here today after trip to the southern end of the district and Rake. Few fish are being re- ceived at Ketchikan as a result of the tie-up, he said.
 Strikers are demanding l2 and 8 cents per pound. Buyers are not quoting any figures and there is no market of any consequence, MT. Paul said.
 Seiners Are Optimistic
 Seine fishermen in the southern end of the district are more optim- istic over the outlook for the com ing season than for several years. Gamers have exhibited a most welcome desire to cooperate with local fishermen, have offered to purchase fish from them, and at least one of the packers is furn- ishing seiners with new web for seines, a badly needed commodity by most of the fishermen. Four cents is reported to be the pre- liminary price set for humpies.
 Handtrollers are all fishing at Wrangell, and most of the Rake fishermen have gone there to op- crate, MT. Paul said.
 The residents of Fake have re- gently completed a dock for the larger vessels. It has a 50-foot face and is 500 feet long. The work was done entirely by volun- teer labor and the outside cost was $85.
 Four crews were working simul- taneously One cut the piling and brought them to the village An other drove the piles. A third capped the piles, and the fourth laid the flooring The women of the settlement furnished the food  and cooked the noon meals for the workers. The planking was sal vaged from an old, abandoned salt cry at Security Bay. The pile driver used was lent to the village by the Alaska Pacific Salmon Cor poration from it's Rake cannery.
 Village Goes Gardening
 The residents of Rake, not en- gagged in trolling, are busily en- gagged in gardening, planting all varieties of root crops on scale that will supply them not only later in the summer but with food for next winter. Seed potatoes furnished by the Government have arrived and will all be planted.
 Last year, one of the villagers reaped 16 sacks of potatoes from single sack of seed donated by the Government. His success has stimulated interest among the vil- lagers and every family is going to have it's potato patch this year

S.P. and Fusion Join
in Refusing to Face
Communist Speakers

NEW YORK.-'T wish to inform
you that we decline to participate
In any symposium arranged by
Communist Party or any of its af-
filiates'-from August Claessens,
organizer of the Socialist Party.
Il fail to see how the particular
question which you bring up has
any bearing."-from F. La Guardia,
Fusion candidate for Mayor.
The above are answers to letters
from the International Labor Defense
inviting the mayoralty candidates to
symposium on (which Party Fights
for Negro Rights"
The Socialist leaders Join the Flu
sion Party in displaying all the shak-
ing fear they have of speaking to
workers on the same platform from
which Communist will expose them.
The Fusion Party frankly states
that they have no interest in the
Negro masses, but the Socialists hide
behind the curtain of declining to
participate in a Communist arranged
symposium"
The Socialist Party Is also openly
stating that they will under no cir
cumstances speak with Communists
Tammany Hall has not yet an
swered the LID. invitation. Robert
Minor, Communist candidate for
Mayor, has accepted.

Voters Must Register in Order to Vote
Only New Voters Have to Take Literacy
Tests; Veterans Exempt

In the 1892 elections the Com
munist Party won an important VIC
tory in New York State by gaining
enough votes to give the Party official
recognition on an equal footing with
the bourgeois parties. BY reason of
This new status, the party has set I'D
a State Committee and will set I'D
various county and city committees
throughout the state as the perma-
nent election apparatus of the Party.
Next year, 1884, these committees
will be elected by the enrolled voters
of the Communist Party who will
also nominate the Party candidates
in next years election. This will be
done by a primary election held about
two months before the 1894 elections
Because Of this, the matter of en-
rollment with the Party by all mem
bers Of the Party and all revolution
airy and sympathetic workers, this
year, at the time Of registration, be-
cones OF prime Importance. The
question Of enrolment is treated fully
under the section below, headed EN-
rollment" Read this chapter with
particular care.
The purpose of this bulletin Is to
give brief instructions and informa-
ton on elections and is subdivided
into four main points. I-Qualifica-
tons of Voters; I1--Literacy Tests;
1SI-Registration; IV--Enrollment.
I-QuaIifications Of Voters

lister and vote II he OF she will be

Over one million school children of
this city coming to their classrooms
will be met with a barrage of NRA
talks from their $4,000 teachers
which will make the newspaper cam
paigns fade out by comparison.
According to DR.. OShea, Superin-
tendent of Schools, I'VE should in
form ourselves of the essential fea-
lures of the important steps and un-
dertakings of the present movement,
and impart the information clearly
and sympathetically, particularly in
teaching history, geography, civics
and current events" These are the
instructions which have been issued
to the teachers.
Workers children will accordingly
be taught the blessings of the Blue
Buzzard. Children whose parents are
striking against the vicious conse-
quences of this latest move of capt.
talism to make the workers pay for
the crisis will be taught that such
parents are taking part in "anti-
social or governmental demon
STATIONS or doctrines"

schools are a branch of our govern
ment, we should stand firmly against

Law Requires All Supporters of Communist
Candidates to Enroll With the Party;
This Does Not Mean Party Membership

elections.
How to Enroll At the time of reg
istering, after you have signed the
registration book, you will receive a
white Enrolment Blank, which says
II (name), do solemnly declare
that am a qualified voter of the
election district in which / have
been registered, and that my res
ident address is (fill I'M; that am
in general sympathy with the prin-
ciples of the party which have
designated by my mark hereunder;
and that it is my intention to sup
port generally at the next general
election, state or national, the
nominees OF such party for state or
national Offices"
Underneath this, there are the
names Of all the paTties and their
emblems and under each party there
is circle. Look for the Communist
Party and the hammer and sickle en-
blem and place a cross inside the cir
Gle directly underneath. Then sign
your name. After this, place the blank
into an envelope which will be sup
piled to you and place the envelope
into the Enrolment Box which you
will find right there. In this way you
become an enrolled voter In the Com
munist Party and will be entitled to
vote for the Party candidates ut the
primaries in 1884.
There are no primaries this year
for the Party because there are no
enrolled voters as yet, since this is
the first year that voters are per-
mitted to enroll in the Party.
Importance Of Enrolment
II The candidates Of the Party
and the Party's election commit
tees can be nominated only by pri-
mary elections, 50 that II there is
no enrolment, the Party will not be
able 10 nominate candidates.
D Every worker should take 3D.

H-Literacy Tests FOR New Voters
Literacy Tests must be taken only
by new voters before they register
in order to prove their ability to
read and write English.
II What is a Literacy Test? II is
a simple test to prove you can read

Hired By Tammany in
Notorious City Water
Deals
By JAMES CASEY
Part III.

pEFORE reaching final agreement
~ on choice for the Mayoralty
race, the leaders of the Fusion move
rnent considered the names of sew
eral likely candidates. These included
Nicholas M. Butler, President Of
Columbia University; Robert Moses
President of the Long Island Commits
sion; General John F. Organ
wealthy business man; Martin Con-
boy, millionaire attorney; United
States Attorney George z. Medalie,
and Major LaGuardia.
On July 80, 1888, number of the
leaders announced the selection of
General Organ In the face of deter
mined opposition. Dissension and in
dignation spread throughout the
groups linked to the Fusion move
ment. Organ was too well known as
a reactionary and the more expert
enced leaders looked upon the can
didacy as a blunder. BY August the
whole Fusion movement seemed to be
at the point of collapse. EIt was then
that Roosevelt's personal advisor was
rushed upon the scene to save the day.
Roosevelt Intervenes
Adolph A. Berle, Jr., a member of
Roosevelt's so-called brain trust,
went into hurried conference with
Fusion leaders. Another such gath
ering was called the following night
and it was at this session that La
Guardia was chosen as standard
bearer.
Since that time Roosevelt's personal
advisor has helped LaGuardia to
draft the City Fusion Party platform.
GUARDIA has been put forward
IL by the Fusionists "as man of
the people" He is being character
lied as a fearless foe Of Tammany
Hall and as one who will fight thiev-
cry and Irregularities in office. La
Guardia is also being widely adver-
tised as the man who will protect the
interests of the taxpayers.
The Fusion Mayoralty candidate is
an energetic campaigner and a bril-
liant speaker. He is clever oppor-
tunist, who has managed thus far to
conceal the shameful blotches on his
political record from the eyes of the
workers. In this election campaign
every worker should know what
LaGuardia stands for and whom he
represents.
Not a "Man of the People"
LaGuardia is not a man Of the
masses of the people, He is not a foe
Of Tammany. LaGuardia, like Tam
many politicians, has been involved
in irregularities while holding public
office. And LaGuardia has openly
fought against the interests of he
workers.
With wages being slashed every
where under the MIRA program, it is
timely here to point out that while
a member of Congress LaGuardia

vantage Of the right to enroll with
the Party so that he may have
voice in selecting the Parsy's can
dtdates and election officials.
- 1t is the duty of every Party
member and Of every honest worker
to enroll with the Party SO that the
power of nominating candidates for
the Party and of electing the Par
tvs election officials will remain
only in their hands. Since anyone
at all, merely by putting cross in
the Communist Party's circle, can
become an enrolled Party voter,
there is serious danger that reform
ist, anti working class and renegade
elements will attempt to obtain the
majority Of the enrolled voters in
the Party, and in that way capture
The whole election machinery of the
Party and set up their own anti
working class candidates. This
danger can be overcome only by
mass enrolment In the Party Of all
honest rank and file workers. It
Is an important task to every Party
member to enroll with the Party
and to get every worker in his shop
and neighborhood to enroll.

any means. To be Party member,

Iy-Enrollmcnt
Now that the Communist Party
has become a recognized Party in
New York State as explained in the
introduction, it is necessary for all
party members, Revolutionary work
ers and sympathetic workers to en-
roll with the Party when they reg
lister. The reason for enrolment Is
that hereafter, in order for the
Party candidates to be placed on
the ballot, and in order to set up
the election apparatus of the Party,
like State Comm tees, County
Committees and City Committees,
it is necessary to hold primary cleo
tions where the Party candidates
are nominated and the Party cleo
ton officials are elected by the
enrolled voters Of the Party.
Primary elections are elections
held about two months before
every general election. The pur-
pose Of the primary election is to
give the enrolled voters of the
Party the right to nominate the
candidates of the Party who are to
run for Office on the Party ticket
at the general election. and also to
elect the officials of the party cleo
ton committees. Only voters who
are enrolled with the Party have
the right to vote in the primary

len, brutal strikebreaker, has said in
calling for the arrest of pickets who

In order to be perfectly sure of
what the teachers must tell their
students, all school officials and
principals were ordered to report at
the Washington Irving High School
yesterday to hear Grover Whalen on
how the schools might cooperate in
selling the MIRA to the children.
Workers who are against having
this poison poured into the ears of

The taxes on insurance companies
and savings banks assets are merely
indirect charges on the savings and
insurance payments of the workers
such as they are. The tax Is ultima
tely carried by the workers through
reduced interest payments on their
deposits and insurance payments.
The taxi tax strikes directly at the

ers who depend for at least half of
their income on tips. The City simply
