of the election meetings I saw here
after voting started in Moscow, De-

ers, the afternoon shift in all de-
partments of the Red Rose" silk
mill. 1t elected almost unanimously,
1869 to 20, the candidates for city
and raion (ward) soviets proposed
by the Communist Party. 1t adopted
messages of greetings to Stain and
the heads of government, pledged
answering loyalty to the defense
of the Soviet Union against danger
of war and to defense against bands
of terrorists sent in from abroad,
such as the gang that murdered
Kirov. 1t was, like all election
meetings, forum for the discus
sion of the future plans for socialist
construction.
But it was also one Of the meet
ings where the instructions to the
newly elected deputies were dis
cussed right at the election. In
many meetings, the instructions are
adopted, after having been thor
oughly discussed by departmental
meetings, or even by mass meetings
of all the workers of the factory
together, several days before cleo
ton.
Several of the speakers before the
formal discussion of the instruc-
tons had struck the same note in
their remarks; in general it ran
something like this: I'm 1881 when
we issued instructions at the cleo
ton, we emphasized the necessity
to build heavy industry and to build
the Red Army, both to strengthen
the defensive capacity of our Work
ers' Fatherland. Now, we hope this
strengthening will continue, though
we see by the fact that they have
invited us to join the League Of
Nations and by other signs that WE
are pretty strong already. But the
time has come to do something
else: We want more housing space
we want more clubs, we want morS
trolley buses and more subWays

and 1874 other stores, in this raion
to be built Immediately.
This program was voted on by the
meeting and accepted. "as progress"
but then the meeting got to work
making other demands on its depu-
ties.
1900 Suggestions
II was reported that workers of
Red Rose" plant had, in previous
meetings, offered 1000 suggestions
to be entered into the instructions
to the deputies. A committee going
over them combined the duplicated
ones, and turned over to the union
those that could be settled merely
by being incorporated in the new
contract. However, great number
remained, which the meeting might
adopted as instructions to their
deputies to the Moscow city and
Frunze Raion Soviets. Among them
were the following proposals:
More care for children "out Of
school" The situation is this. For
merly workers children had practi-
cally no schooling. therefore there
we're no school buildings for them.
Now all go to school, but their num-
bers are so great that in spite Of
the building of hundreds and thou
sands of schools, some schools have
to use the two shift method yet.
When the children from the morn
ing shift come home, it may be
that both their parents are still at
work. The instructions call for the
government to build more children's
clubs, or "Out of School Comb
mates" such as those operating sue
cessfully in some neighborhoods al
ready.
Another motion was to order
militia who found children stealing
rides on the outside of street cars
to organize lectures for them to
teach them the dangers of this
practice.
Articles of general use should be
better co-ordinated with the seasons,
read another. When cold weather
comes, the fur caps and felt boots
should be ready in the stores, and
white duck pants and smocks
should be ready before the hot sum-
mer days.
There was a demand to abolish
certain old street names and re-
name in honor of heroes of the
/ Revolution.
Order Repairs
There we're several detailed reso-
lutions for repair of certain houses
and building of new apartment
houses at specified locations.
A certain particular street must
have street car line at once.
Other specified streets should bt
asphalted; trucks going over the
present cobble stones make toe
much noise.
More children,s literature.
A certain church should be closee
and kino theatre opened.
Various particular spots were
cited at which laundries, baths
moving picture theatres, ETC., should
be built.

ment by the Young Communis

But in spite of such threats, the
anti-fascist United Front, in con-
cert with the Catholic organiza-
tions and trade-union groups OPP
posed to Hitlerism, are conducting
daily rallies for the status quo in
every hamlet and town in the Saar
On the one hand, while the fascist
division is fast losing its supporters
on the other, the membership OF
all snti-fascist forces is growing by
leaps and bounds. UNPRECEDENTED

Signs onSides
OF Nazi Ships

LONDON, Jan. 1.-The crews of
German ships visiting European
ports are constantly subjected to
anti-fascist propaganda. The Nazi
captains and officers of these ships
seem at the end of their wits in
their attempts to meet many new
methods put to use by the marine
workers and longshoremen in be-
half of the anti-fascist movement.
When the German battleships
'Koenigsberg' and Leipzig visited
Portsmouth recently, the crews
were showered with leaflets de-
manding the freedom of Thael-
mann, Ossietski, Graef and other
prisoners in Hitlers dungeons. The
British admiralty complained to
the House Of Commons about this
occurrence.
Here the longshoremen printed
Free Thaelmann' on the side OF
the German freighter, Leonhardt.
The crew of this ship saw this &C
ton but did nothing. Only when
the captain and the officers became
aware of it, did they call the police
In Antwerp the sides of the Ger
man freighter Larsen and 'Viadra
were painted with the slogan Ret
tet Thaelmann."
The longshoremen of Amsterdam
adopted new method of anti-fas-
cist agitation. While unloading 6
German ship, each instruction pro-
ce15 was answered by the long
shoremen with the salute Free
Thaelmann' instead of with the
usual maritime replies. When the
hswsers were dropped and the boat
departed, instead of shouting al
free" the longshoremen shouted
Free Thaelmann."

Workers Expect Discipline in Party
When worker wants to keep his
job, he makes sure to be on time
every morning. When this same
worker wants to work as a Party
member, he is also on time at his
meetings.
When he fails to be on time,
1t shows that he does not want
very much to be active in the Party,
or he would make 1t his business
to be on time as he does at the
factory or mill.
No amount Of explanation can
convince an honest person that the
said worker is sincere about his
Party work.
Many new recruits with factory
discipline turn away from the Party
because they cannot reconcile time
laxity with an honest program. To
them the Party resembles a social
affair for Communists.
The Communist Party cannot
boast revolutionary discipline, when
it is impotent to rally its members
on time. The Revolution must come.
what matter if 1t is little late?

Party Life
The Red Fighting
Fund and Methods
To Build It In

COMRADE KRUMBEIN'S eloquent
plea for greater support of the
Red Fighting Fund should be seri-
ously considered by every comrade.
Indeed, the problem Of financial
support for work in the event Of
illegality is rapidly becoming one Of
the central problems.
The task of soliciting funds for
this purpose is an easy one. Every
comrade has several friends or ac-
uuaintancss who are Communist
sympsthizers but who, for one
reason or another. either will not
or cannot join the Party. This is the
type to contact for the Red Fund
Visit them but keep your stamp
book in your pocket. Approach them
as follows: "Comrade x, you say
you are Fundamentally in support
of the Communist Party, is that
right? Yet, outside Of occasional
contributions, you are doing nothing
positive to advance the work of
the Party. Don't you feel that, in
view of your convictions, it is your
duty to do something to compen-
safe for the fact that you are not
a member? Well, here is your OPP
portunity. AS you know, there is no
telling when the Party may be
driven underground To prepare in
advance for such an event, we are
building up a Red Fund to finance
activities under illegal conditions.
We ask you to pledge yourself to
contribute certain sum Of money
to the fund every two months, from
now on. Imagine how you would
feel if you knew that your money
was helping to carry on under
ground work under those conditions.
Wouldn't that give you a thrill?"
In most cases approached in this
way, the worker will express his
willingness to contribute. Only then
should you bring out your stamp
book.
In my opinion, the failure in COL
lectionS has been due to the fact
that the comrades have used the
same approach that they use for
other collections. They have merely
asked for general contributions.
Comrades, the Red Fund requires
a selective approach. 1t requires
a different technique. At the same
time, it is easier to collect funds
for this purpose than for other
purposes. There is a more obvious
connection between such a collec-
ton and the very existence of the
Party in the near future than there
is in the case of other funds. Stress
this connection. Present the prob
lem in dramatic terms. Picture the
Party fighting for its life under
illegal conditions. Capitalize the
feeling of guilt that every Commu-
mist sympsthizer carries in his heart
because he is not a member of the
Party.
If you do this, comrades, the Red
Fund will go over the top with a
roar. Don't delay. Sit down at once
and draw up list of Communist
| sympathizers whom you know.

THE slogan OF unity of the trade
unions, which in France means
merging the large revolutionary
trade union center, and its unions
in almost every field of industry,
with the reformist trade unions, en-
the basis of real unity-that is dis
cussion from below, congresses, and
the emerging of united organiza-
ton Of struggle against the present
drive against French labor. The
program of unity is advocated and
fought for By the Communist Party
of France. 1t is put forward to
strengthen the fighting ranks OF
the trade unions to meet the at
tacks against the toilers which be-
comes sharper as the crisis .rtcn~s
flies in France, and will grow still
sharper, as the crisis must go to
still deeper levels.

NEW YORK, August 10.-Low-
priced corporate bonds were strong
again friday and kept in step with
other advancing speculative markets.

quiet and a shade lower. High-priced
issues were about unchanged.
The entire market moved at slower
pace than on Friday, when rails and
utilities gave the strongest bullish
demonstration in more than month.

value, for the two hour session,
against $14,114,ooo in Fridays full
session. The turnover in Government
bonds was less than 100000.

railroad bonds gained OIL of a point
at 822 and the average of 10 in
dustrials got up 0.2 of a point at
e8.9, but other groups averaged a
shade lower or were unchanged.

ly lower, but declines were of the
smallest fractional type and few
indirect loans were trif1e higher.
Foreign bonds were steady. italian
issues wavered slightly, but higher
prices were the rule among the Gen.

Josephine P. Crensha, Vaughan &

Special Dispatch to The Star.
BALTIMORE, Md, August 10.-Due
to generally light receipts from all sec
tions, as well as an increased con-
Sumptive demand, the egg market has
taken on firmer tone, and values
show an advance of a cent or two a
dozen, with all fresh-laid, desirable
stock meeting with ready sale at full
quotations
No trading on the exchange the last

stocked, and the higher prices prevail

Poultry Steady to Firm.
The live poultry market holds steady

bringing II to % cents pound and
mixed colored 16 to %. but Leghorns
are not so desirable and sell mostly
16 to 18
Old hens show little change from
last week, prices holding steady. with
the exception of LeghornS, at 10 and
20 for Rocks, 16 to Is for mixed COL
oreds and II to IS for Leghorns.
Old roosters are in ample supply and
are hard to place at 10 and II.
Young ducks are in fairly good de-
mand. but only stock weighing Az
pounds and over attracts attention at
IL to IS, and poor, thin stock has to
be sacrificed at discounts.
The market for white potatoes holds
steady under a good demand, and
values are a shade higher at 110 to
l.25 per barrel for Cobblers. Stock

100 pound sacked Cobblers selling
