sought to search the five men for
weapons after reports that shots had
been fired in the district. The quintet,

The Activities and
Purpose Of the
City CInbS
By J. LANDY

(seeretaFy Of City Club CounciD
ONE Of the most important prob
v lens that has been troubling the
English speaking club movement in
New York has finally been settled.
Shall the clubs be organized on a
class struggle" basis. OF shall they
mask their class consciousnes to
attract American boys or girls?"
The second annual conference of
the City Club Council held recently
settled this question of policy. Clubs
must, the conference pointed out,
be definitely established on the
principle of class struggle
Since the very inception of the
city club movement this question Of
policy had been bone Of contention
between opposing viewpoints in the
clubs.
Our clubs are attracting Ameri-
can boys and girls who in most in
stances have never before belonged
to any working class organization, "
argued those members who opposed
the class struggle policy. Young
white-collar workers and students
are less class-conscious than shop
workers; they have been educated
to fear the Reds. We must keep
the class struggle aspect of the club
in the background. The members
must be educated in study groups
and cultural activities and then in
troduced to the class struggle. Of
course, the Daily Worker cannot be
oficislly endorsed by the club be-
cause 1t would scare prospective
members"
UpholderS of this viewpoint fur
ther pointed to the 100 per cent
membership turnover after two
years of club work, that there we're
as yet only about rs clubs in the
city with membership Of 1,700.
But the conference answered this
argument to the satisfaction of the
vast majority of the membership. It
was pointed out that these argu-
ments merely proved the need for
an open class struggle face on the
part of the clubs. Our clubs will
grow only in direct proportion to
the number of working class activi-
ties they will conduct in their
neighborhoods Members leave the
club because they become tired
with only debates, lectures and
dances. They will welcome the
Daily Worker as the link between
their neighborhood struggles and
those of the entire working class.
A MAJOR weakness Of the club
n movement is the almost COM
plete absence Of shop workers and
Negroes in our clubs. Certainly
there is no conscious white chau-
vinis111. But none of the clubs made
special effort to attract Negroes
even though some Of them are &C
t1ally located in Negro neighbor-
hoods. Only one club, the West
Side Workers Club, has large per-
centage of shop workers.
One of our most backward fronts
unemployed work, seems to have
advanced somewhat following the
National Unemployed Convention
in Washington to which we sent
six delegates. In Williamsburg two
Tammany clubs sent delegates to
an unemployed conference inaugu-
rated by us, and one of them even
invited the Progressive Culture
Club to send an anti-war speaker.

You see. If the income tax was

He could not explain how a large

What's the union wage scale for
carpenters, plasterers, bricklsyers? ?"
I asked.
"seventy-fve cents an hour he

These were the figures the gov

accepted throughout the country.
How many are actually getting
seventy-five cents an hour"
Very few. But that's the union
scale"
Il know. What I want to know Is
how many are actually getting the
rate YOU and the government gives"
Scarcely any, he said finally.
You see. they can't get it because
Of conditions. So they have 10 work
for whatever they can GET
What did the plssterers or the

unions do about itP"
Nothing. tt wasn't practicable

Il wouldn't say that. That was
the union scale but they couldn't

Sure it's the union scale. But
they couldn't get it so they got less.
