base OF the Order among the native
American workers. 1t aims to raise
the Negro membership of the Order
to at least 1900.
The campaign plan, although it
presents plan of work for the six
months from July to December
1884, provides for an intensive three
months campaign. During these
months, organizers of the various
language sections will be put into
the field. The City Central Com
mittee and District COMMITTEES will
be made responsible for the func-
tioning of these organizers while in
their territory.
Bella Kun Greets 1. w. o.
In the mobilization for the COM
ing campaign all of our members
and branches can take to heart
what Comrade Bella Kun says in a
letter to the Hungarian Section of
the I. w. o. He greets the Hun
garian Section of the I. w. o. in a
letter addressed to it and trans
mitted through Hungarian Work
ers Delegation from America to
Moscow to the 18th Anniversary of
the Hungarian Proletarian Revolu-
ton. Comrade Bella Kun expresses
his pleasure with the successful
campaign of last fall. He points
cut, however, that these successes
are not yet commensurate with the
possibilities of the Order. He saws.
Present conditions and future
tasks made it ever more imperative
that we concentrate all our energy
on new struggles and new achieve
mentS
Bella Kun points out "the big
masses of Hungarian workers land
other workers. still belong to frat
ernal organizations which do not
defend the interests of their pro-
letarian members but are direct
agents of American capitalism"
He emphasizes that of course the
members of our Order know the
role of the bourgeois leadership of
the fraternal movement but the
great mass of workers who are or
ganized in these bourgeois fraternal
organizations do not yet know it.
Our task is to win them ideologi-
cally and physically. In order to
win them we must continue our
activity and our struggle.
Comrade Bella Kun declares that
only through patient, consistent
agitation will you reach the goal of
organizing the majority of the
workers into one big class conscious
fraternal organization. Our task
now is to organize for this work,
to mobilize our membership for this
patient and consistent agitation so
that we may build the Order into
a factor uniting the great mass of
American workers.

CLIPS ARTICLES

ErSkine Caldwell's mastery writing

porting with time-worn cliches, but
literary account of facts, SO thor

One Ford worker tells me that
a month ago Ford hired 10 new
men to work on the last operation
that completes the car, and used
IS service men to watch the new
workers. They were not allowed to
speak to the old hands, under
threat of being fired" The ma
jority of these 10 quit in disgust.
This worker also tells me that on
this particular job it takes 3 weeks
to train new workers, and if the
old workers could be organized, in
case of strike they could hold up
the whole line.

Dear Editor:
The Erskine Caldwell articles in
the Daily Worker" were splendid.
certainly wish that he would be able
to go right out into a hot situa-
ton like that of the coming steel
strike struggles and report them
for the Daily. He writes wildly and
powerfully and I hope that in the
future he will do many more arti-
cles for the Daily Worker, which,
by the We, improves every day.
The editorials still need to be
shortened and simplif1ed and some
of the leading articles are too
dragged out, but all we want is to
see the p22er grow from day to day.

PENNY PAMPHLETS

CleVSlaIlQ, ONO.
I have just finished reading the
fifth article on Detroit by Erskine
Caldwell. They seem to be the
best so far for Detroit. Also I read
everything that was printed by the
Party from that human slaughter
city.
1t think it will be very good, if
possible, that such articles be print
ed into pamphlets, to sell for g.
penny. Also the articles on Balti-
more waterfront, and those by John
Spivak. The penny pamphlets we
have so far are good but they are
all too concrete. These articles are
little different and will make a
stronger appeal to the backward
workers.

The establishment by the Nazis

All branches and all members of

resolutions against the intended

Central Committee
Arranges Banquet
In Red Press Drire

The Central Committee of the
Communist Party is making efforts
this week to install new press on
which to print the Daily Worker, the
Freiheit and other revolutionary
papers. The press will be able to
print a clearer, more readable paper.
1t will eliminate the technical diff
ficulties that have been a handicap
to the getting out of our revolution
airy papers for long time.
1t is a powerful and adequate
weapon our press must be in times
like these.
Within the last few days, tens of
thousands of workers have been
modified twice by our press, to dem
onstrate solidarity with the heroic
Austrian workers. Two extra editions
of the Daily Worker, in $4,000 copies
each were put out on the streets
hours before the usuaNpreSs time, to
call these workers to demonstrate.
The breakdown of printing press
in these moments is a paramount
and deadly technical obstacle to our
work.
For years the Daily, Freiheit, and
other revolutionary papers have been
printed on an old, out-worn press.
Many times it broke down under the
pressure of the additional papers and
magazines which our movement now
publishes. Again and again money
mad to be spent for repairs, in order
to save the expense of a new press.
But a few years ago, after IS years,
the old press completely broke down.

There was no disturbance of any
kind, fortunately. We had a good
