Contract Bridge

He had already located the king of
clubs and would now like to know
about the queen of diamonds.
After North'S bid Of five spades,
denying the king of diamonds,
South would bid six diamonds, ask
ing for the queen.
If North held the queen, he would
bid seven diamonds and the final
contract would have been seven
spades.
In today's hand, South has shad-
ed his three-bid a little, but it
seems rather justified, due to the
fact that, if he can locate the king
of clubs and the king of diamonds,
he has a possible grand slam. So
I do not criticize South for shading
his bidding.
THE play of the hand is not diff
Il cult. Still, a careless player
would fail to make his contract. It
/ looks as if South has two losing
diamonds. because, when the seven
of diamonds is led from dummy
East will play the ten.
But why worry about finessing
the diamond? The opening lead
of the king of hearts marks West
with the ace Of hearts.
All the declarer has to do is to
/ trump the first heart trick, take
three rounds of trumps, and four
rounds of clubs winning the last
club in dummy, then lead the queen
of hearts and discards the losing
eight of diamonds. This gets rid
of your loser and eliminates the
necessity Of taking a finesse.
Now West is forced to lead a
diamond into the ace-queen. If he
leads a heart, the declarer will
trump in one hand and discard the
! losing diamond from the other.

"AdUdnce Guard"

THE ANVIL. Issued by the Anvil
Press, January February, 1885.
Price, IS cents.
The magazines which were once
comm only called advance guard"
are still limited in function as a
proving ground for writer's.
The difference is that while for
merly they were a proving ground
for potential literary lights and best
seller producers many of the maya
zines are today a fine testing place
for the cultural instruments and
forces Of the revolutionary move
ment.
The current issue of The Anvil
which is now on the newsstands in
modern dress, coated paper and a
three-color cover, is an excellent ex-
ample Of what valuable proving
ground such magazines may be.
Meridel LeSueur's Sequel to
Love" while its Stream of conscious
ness" technique is over-simplified, is
thoughtful reaction to the threat
which faces workers in the agitation
for Sterilizing the socially unfit
and in the passage of such laws in
several states.
Marion Moss God Ttakes Care of
the Little Birds" has a passionate
bitterness which carries it above its
technical ineptitudes. The under
tone Of the story is an implied call
to struggle against the fate which
overtakes the characters of the
story.
Another Morning" by Tom
Butler, is sketch Of unusual talent
unusual, that is, for many maya
zines but not for Tom Butler. who
is one Of the most promising of the
younger revolutionary writer's. His
handling of words and images re-
yeals self-assurance and, at the
same time, humility.
One characteristic Of all the
stories is their burning preoccupa-
ton with the life Of workers and
the class struggle in terms of every
day life.
The Anvil Is at least one of the
advance guard" magazines which
has not fallen behind the march
Of the revolutionary cultural move
ment.-Ph. S.

Party Literature
to the Masses

apolis has not answered.
Let's have more challenges. And
let's make them still more concrete:
On the building of functioning liter
allure committees in the sections;
on literature distribution in the
shops; on mass literature distribu-
ton through our apparatus apart
from the bookshops; on fulfilling
the quotas on Foundations of Len
inism" and the Lenin Sets; on the
number of periodicals sold, number
of pieces of agitational and propa-
ganda pamphlets sold, also books.
A live revolutionary competition
throughput the Party on these points
will aid greatly in building up liter
allure distribution

DISTRICT AND SECTION
LITERATURE BULLETINS

WE HAVE received copies Of new
W literature bulletins recently is
sued by three District Literature
Departments - Detroit, Pittsburgh,
and Milwaukee. These bulletins are
put out to the units and sections
to aid and guide them in their dis
tribution problems. What other
literature bulletins are being issued?
Send copies of your bulletin to US.
The Detroit bulletin ("Monthly
Literature Bulletin" Nov. 1894,
pages is the best of the three. It
starts off with an explanation of
the Importance of theory and the
circulation of literature. 1t stresses
the setting up of literature appa-
ratus throughout the district. 1t
tells concretely how to sell litera-
ture in the shop, at meetings, in
the language and mass organiza-
tons; establishing unit libraries;
the kind of comrade who should be
selected for the job of literature
director 1t contains a list of the
purchases and payments made by
the sections.
The Pittsburgh bulletin ('Litera-
ture Builder" No. /, Nov. 1894, l
page calls on the units to and out
what organizations exist in their
territories and have literature on
sale at all meetings of these organ
izations. II contains an excerpt
from q speech of Cornrade Browder
on recruiting which says that we
should give literature to the con-
facts we are developing for the
Party. The bulletin urges the or
ganization of study groups in
homes, offering to supply outlines
on pamphlets to be studied; it in
structs units to organize literature
committees which should meet reg
ularly, check up on literature funds,
arrange parties to raise such funds,
buy Lenin Set, and organize the
distribution of Stains "Founda-
tons of Leninism"
Too many Of these latter points
are merely issued as slogans or
brief cne-sentence directives with
out any explanation. This is the
main weakness of the Pittsburgh
bulletin, which fails also to explain
the Importance Of a literature ap-
paratus throughout the Party sec
tions and units.
The Milwaukee bulletin gives in
struotions on building literature
funds; distributing the new S8.0(
Lenin Sets, the Decent "Founda-
tons of Leninisn," the November
issue of THE Communist" "Ths
communist International, the
Thirteenth Plenum pamphlets; i'm
proving literature payments. Here
also is list of purchases and pay
ments from the sections, and list
of slogans on the Importance Of
revolutionary theory.
On the whole, this bulletin fol-
lows too mechanically the weekly
letter of the Literature Commission
to the districts, not concretizing the
material sufficiently for the sections
and units.
There undoubtedly are other
literature bulletins being ISSUED
throughout the country by section

DETROIT TELLS HOW
TO SELL LITERATURE
IN THE SHOP

LITERATURE can be sold every
Il where and should be sold espe-
cially in the factories. When sell
ing in your department, approach
those workers whom you trust with
the kind of pamphlet that you feel
they will like and understand. How
ever, if you are new in the shop, q
pamphlet on unemployment insur-
ance, war and fascism, can be given
to your co-worker. Ask him to read
it for the sake of curiosity. Later,
find out how he feels about it. II
he expresses himself favorably you
can gradually feed him Party liter
allure. Similar tactics can be used
in reformist unions.
Always carry few pamphlets in
your pocket. Whenever you get into
discussion with worker, sum up
by selling him a pamphlet. That
will deepen the impression made
From the November issue o.

of District Z, Detroit.)

TO LITERATURE AGENTS

THIS column Will appear in the
1 Daily Worker every Monday It's
purpose will be to stimulate the
mass distribution of our revolution
airy literature: Cd through rousing
and modifying the entire Party
membership and all workers for
carrying out this important part of
all of our revolutionary activities;
20 through exchanging experiences
between the various districts and
sections on the building up of q
literature distribution apparatus,
and (3) through the perfecting of
our methods of work for bringing
our literature to the masses-in the
shops, in trade unions and other
mass organizations, at demonstra-
tons and meetings, reaching new
territory, in the course of our many
campaigns, attracting new people to
the book shops, installation of cir
culating libraries, etc.
All literature agents of districts,
sections, units and workers organ
isations are invited to send in regu-
larly each week experiences which
they have in literature distribution
which will be of Importance to other
parts of the country. Some dis
tricts or sections may have worked
out good method of penetrating
a shop with literature. Others may
be having great success in covering
big mass meetings with literature,
Such valuable experiences are at
present the property of only one
or two localities and they should
be made the property of the entire
revolutionary movement.
Therefore, send your concrete ex-
periences to this column regularly.
| Write briefly, about $50 words.
Occasionally very important ques-
ton will require more lengthy treat
ment, and in such cases the whole
column will be devoted to such a
question. Address all communica-
tons to Literature Commission, P.

Pen and Hammer, January It'll; the
American League Against War and
Fascisn, January 9th; the I. w. o.,

SOUTHERN TEXTILE BULLETIN
Committee to Support Southern
Textile Organization. Vol. /, No.
2. 5 cents.
As a supplement to its work in
publicizing conditions among the
/ textile workers in the South, the
Textile Committee is publishing a
monthly bulletin. This issue con-
tains short, terse articles: one by a
Danville worker, How Come the
Workers Want to Strike!" a report
Of the calling-off Of the strike by
German, an analysis Of the Winant
report which stated the terms Of
the industrial truce, already ending.
with many Of the textile sections
calling for re-strike The impor-
lance of women in the strike is re-
ported by Grace Hutchins; there is
q leading article by DR.. Herbert
Gerritt on Public Health Service in
the South" and, finally, an i'm
portant linking-up by Bennett Ross
of the war and textile industries.
This short suggestion of a point Of
great immediate concern should GER
tainly be expended and given public
attention, particularly at this mo-
ment, when the Importance Of the
stand to be taken by the basic in
dustries in a possible war is very
great. Here the du Pont family are
cited again for their overlordship
in both the rayon and gun trades
Ross mentions the fact that shortly
after the munitions inquiry, at the
Congress Against War and Fsscism
the basic industries were badly rep
resented.
This concluding note reflects back
over the magazine, heightening the
reasons why, as Lois Macdonald
puts it, the mill village is a boone
rang, reasons why the companies
will tighten their grip on towns and
schools and stores. and why COM
mittees like the Textile Committee
must be supported in their work
of sending organizers and educators
into the South's most barbsrously
ruled sections.-M. R.
