Excellent Recruits for the
Communist Party

GOULD the Communist Party recruit
y better members into its ranks than the
textile workers who are demonstrating
their militancy, determination and heroism
everyday of the present strike?
Would not the members of the flying
squardrons in tn CaroHnas, Georgia and New Eng
land make excellent recruits for Communism?
The Savlesville fighters, who closed the mills
despite the murderous provocation of company
thugs and guardsmen-are not they the material
from which proletarian revolutionists are made?
Or take the Southern workers, who marched
into the very muzzes of the guardsmen's rifles, in
open defiance of the yellow U. T. w. misleaders
closing down mill after mill preventing mill after
mill from re-openng-is there Communist who
would not be proud to have such workers in our
ranks?
Comrades. here you see the American prOietarat
in action; here is a sample of the strength, the
fearlessness the revolutionary courage of the class
which now in Such struggles the present, pre-
r-r2s itself fer the revolutionary overthrow Of
capitalism for the seizure of political power Here,
II - very hcroism and determination of the
textile workers can already see the gJN'ran-
tees for the ultimate victory of Soviet United
States.
EFT the Bosses their political hirelings and their
against the Reds" Let them tell these workers,
the workers of Rhode Island Georgia, North and
South Carolina, that The Communists want to over
throw the government that We believe in revolution,
that we are for a Soviet Power.
All their ants Communist agitation, their Red
Scare" will prove to be a boomerang. These work
ers have been learning for five years that capitalist
rule means hunger and misery for themselves and
their families.
Now they are learning that the bankers, the big
manufacturers, and their own textile bosses take
away their civil rights their right to organize, to
strike 10 picket. to fight for improved conditions
They see their own shopmates shot down in the
streets; they see Republicans and Democrats alike
resorting to outright murder to protect capitalist
profits while workers starve.
Such conditions do not breed loyalty to capital
ism; it is in such atmosphere that workers be-
come convinced of the necessity of ending capitalist
rule AS V, L Lenin, the outstanding leader of the
revolutionary world proetariat, said in 1920 after
the Palmer raids
"When the American bOurgeOise, having
p,etely lost its head seiZes thousands upon thou
sands of people upon suspicion of Bolshevsm
Communism and creates atmosphere of
panic spreading broadcast alarm of Bolshevik
plots when they) create special literature
BOlshevism and engage for the struggle
against it an extra number Of scientists, priests
and agitatOrs-we must bow and thank these
worthy capitalists. They working for They
the question of the nature and significance of
Boshevism. And they cannot act otherwise
for to Kill by silence to stiRe BoIshevism-in this
they have already failed"
GO 1T is now! Communist ideas Communist
" methods Of struggle have penetrated deep into
the ranks of the workers To head off these ideas
the capitalists fevershly shout for the defense of
the constitution" against instruction" against
the Reds But in doing so, they only further
arouse the interest of the disconnected masses in
Communism They spread further the ideas of
proletarian revolution Of workers rule under
Soviet State.
Now is the time in the very midst of the tex
tile strike, while placing the winning of the textile
workers demands the immediate task to
discuss with the strikers the only final way out of
capitalist exploitation and misery the way of pro-
letarisn revolution.
Now is the time to bring hundreds of militant
textile workers into the ranks of the Party of
revolution the Communist Party.
We appeal to the textile workers to join our
Party; we would be proud to have you in revo-
lutionary ranks.
We appeal to all Party members, to all units,
to all leading comrades in the field to make special
efforts to recruit the best, the most courageous
fighters for Communism
