done by battling to save our Daily
Worker, and the other sections should
follow their examples,
Districts Improving Slowly
While many OF the. Districts showed
an Improvement, in the last half
week, the Drive is still altogether too
slow and quick action must be taken.
We have raised only SAB per cent of
the total $4,000 quota, not a good
showing on the whole. Only Districts
have passed the so per cent mark
with Districts In the previous half
week. Detroit slowed down in the
last half week More affairs must be
held for the Daily Worker, more COL
lection lists spread If we are to save
our Daily so it can carry on the
battle against the intensified hunger
program announced by Roosevelt,
against the wave OF lynch terror and
against the military and thug terror
used against our striking brother
workers.
Below is the chart showing how
each District stands in the Drive.
Study it. GET INTO ACTIONl The
fight is to save our most powerful
weapon in our struggle against our
oppressor. DO YOUR SHARE!

Western Unions
Lying Pictures
Messenger Boy Tells
What the Reality Is

BY a Western Union Correspondent
BROOKLYN, N. we see few
men seated side by side us young
boys awaiting their turn to go out for
a call, for a few measly pennies.
These men are way past their prime
Of life, bald and gray, and seated at
a job that even we young boys hate.
We wear a ridiculously cut old
fashioned uniform; large heavy
caps which we usually carry In our
hand, tight fitting pants close
around our calves, and puttees which
cut into our ankles. Could we not get
high shoes2
We work hardest in all sorts of
rains and freak weather and are the
least paid.
The Western Union Telegraph Co.
hardly posts beautiful pictures Of
healthy looking boys on the walls,
with flattering captions. They do not
see the thin, small, undernourished
and under paid boys at all; some
how they see only health where Ill
health flourishes.

above the average weekly number Of
new members needed for the success
of the campaign. But il is not as
good as SUSTAINED etfo is can achieve.
The Hungarians maintained their
standard with 155 new members; the
Jewish section slipped back to 1877
after four weeks of well over 200.
Our Ukrainian comrades, after
maintaining standard of around so
new members per week, in the sixth
week slipped back to %.
The Youth Section alone can regis
ter an Improvement in the sixth week.
From an average of IL new members
per week the first five weeks, they
Jumped to SIS new members in the
sixth week.
All other sections slipped back.
The next two weeks are crucial
weeks. They must show whether the
TWO. is really engaged in an organ
lied drive for new members, or whe-
ther 1t permits its recruiting cam
paign to run by itself.
Forward to one Thousand new mem
bers per week for the duration of
the drive.
A ProIetarian FraternaI Organization
One of our handicaps in the drive
of the International Workers Order
for 10000 members by January 1st,
is sectarianism. Our comrades DELHI
erately belitt1e the value of the Order
as q mutual benefit society. One of
our leading comrades IN Chicago in
forms us that: "Our branches are not
interested especially in building the
organization as a fraternai oide:, but
build it as a class organization" This
sounds very radical, but is it?

NEW YORK.-The race for lead
ership in the Daily Worker $4,000
Drive takes on an increased nomen-
tum each half week.
Rushing s25431 in the last half
week to help save our fighting paper,
California rose from the loWly sixth
position it occupied in the previous
half week to third position, displacing
Philadelphia by the thin margin Of
oil per cent. In one half week Cali
fornia increased It's percentage from
5239 per cent to 77.8 per cent. the
largest increase in percentage re-
corded in the last half week.
Seattle continued its hold on second
position, while Boston by increasing
its percentage to 95.1 per cent, took
an even firrner hold on the lead.
However, with number of the dis
tricts doing splendid work of late,
there Is no telling as to which may
nose out District before long.
Chicago Does Well
Outside Of New York, Chicago Dis
trict sent the largest amount, $301.24
in the last half week, compared with
s100.79 in the previous half week,
but is still below the SO per cent mark.
New York, also below the so per cent
mark, sent in $651.s6, compared with
$55016 in the previous half week
Since publication in the Daily
Worker on Nov. End, of the pledges
made by the Chicago sections in the
Drive, records show that Section g.

FINES q poor speech may hurt all Ch5(
good results you may have gained IN
the industrial field or neighborhood
by long struggle.
In many cases, comrades are as
signed to speak regardless of whether
they can or not, because it happens
to be the wish of the section to have
open air meetings. The section ad-
vises the units to have these meetings
once a week in the territory they
are concentrating in The units carry
out the assignment, not Icing con-
cemed If the comrades can speak
or spout meaningless phrases. This
is Just carrying out assignments me-
chemically. That is one reason we
fail to reach masses of workers and
organize them. If we continue this
policy we will become a party Of agi~
tstion and not Of organization.
'eThe District Agitprop should have
seen that all Party members are sup
piled with outlines concerning topics
which are OF the most Importance to
the workers today. The District Agit-
prop should make a thorough investi-
CATION OF how agitprop work is being
carried out now by the comrades in
the district and from that study sug-
gest means Of making our agitprop
work effective.
THE second method to improve the
work of agitprop is to raise the poll
tical level Of the Party. 1t is impos-
sible to execute agitation and propa-
ganda unless the comrades are de-
veloped politically and theoretically,
There must be a greater effort put
forth to see that our comrades read
besides the Daily Worker our theo-
retical organ, The Communist, and
our International organs

In France, in spite OF distinctly

Masculine caps, a great deal like
the peaked ones worn by young
Nazis, are seen frequently at Ri
viera resorts as feminine compan-
ions for beach pajamas.
Frau Goebbels, wife of the min
lister Of propaganda, is said to be
the guiding hand that dictates these
new fashions. However, in spite of
her power, she has not yet been
able to lead her non-German sisters
into the new Nazi fashion of going
without any makeup at all, Euro
pean women from Paris to Bagdad

The effect Of success in putting
across such fashions is, of course,
easy TO imagine: every woman APP

Jacket, for example, is staging
little street demonstration for Fas-

This letter was referred TO the New
York District Committee, who write
US as follows:
I'VE agree in the main with the
criticism of this correspondent in re-
spect to the quality Of some Of the
speeches made by Party speakers in
the section. The District Committee
is well aware of the situation and is
taking the matter up with the section
committees and section directors Of
agitation and propaganda.
''Tt is impossible, in city ike New
York, to assign she leading comrades
in the Party to cover every street
meeting. Besides new speakers and
agitators are trained and developed
not only through classes, but pri-
narily through practice.
''The District Committee has time
and again made plans for public
speaking classes in the sections and
has been sending out a weekly re-
search bulletin to all sections, con-
tanning facts and data as guides to
the speakers.
'"The problem raised is one that
requires the initiative of the sections,
and the devotion of attention to the
training of the comrades in the units.
Every point proposed by this cor
respondent with regard to the raising
OF the political understanding of the
membership has occupied the atJen-
ton of the district for some time.
1t must be admitted, however, that
we have not achieved any great sue
cess In this respect, and therefore our
efforts must be redoubled."
