Pittsburgh Starts Educational Work For Party Members PITTSBURGH, Pa., Nov. 24—The election campaign in district five has shown that the party membership can be mobilized for intensive organiza- tion and propaganda work. On the oth- er hand it proved that we are greatly in need of trained party workers. With the view of supplying this need of the party, the district com- mittee is considering plans for inten- sive educational work among the par- ty members. Classes will be organ- ized thruout the district and a lec- ture forum will be conducted in Pitts- burgh and probably in one or two oth- er cities. Lovestone Launches Classes. ‘The lecture season will be started by Comrade Jay Lovestone. On Wed- nesday, November 26, 8 p. m., he will lecture on “Who Owns the United States Government?” at the Labor Ly- ceum, 35 Miller St., Pittsburgh. On Thursday, Nov. 27, 8 p. m. he will lec- ture on the N. S. at the International Lyceum, 805 James St., on “Workers! Your America—What Are You Going to Do With it?” Tuesday, December 2,8 p. m. he will lecture in East Pitts- burgh, at the Workers’ Home, Elec- tric and North Aves., on “Who Owns the United States Government?” Comrade Lovestone’s experience as a journalist and as the head of the research department is a guarantee that his lectures will be interesting and will contain a good deal of in- formation that should be of interest to every class conscious worker.

Muscles tense for action! And then one united surge forward of every party member and DAILY WORKER friend In this new campaign! It will be a novel campaign. Novel first, because ALL OF US are going to take part in it. This is a Central Executive Committee decision. Nothing will be on the boards but this. Your full time and energy must be given to it. And the campaign will be unusual also in that it will be a one-two- three-go campaign. There will be no standing around, contemplating. You'll not sit down in a rocker and wonder whether you shall or shall not. Everyone shall! All of us MUST! The work Is before us. We’ll do it! We'll do it QUICK! That Is the kind of campaign we are going to make It. C8 Re The other day a radio signal girded the globe in five seconds. From New York to France.

Every district organizer, every lan- @uage federation secretary, every editor of our 24 papers, every party official from the members of the Central Exeoutive Committee to the branch secretaries will take position in the forefront of this immense project to write an endowment Insurance policy for $60,000 for the DAILY WORKER, to mature at once. Without subsidy or a single call for funds the DAILY WORKER has now for nearly a year been holding the fort In a battle against three thousand capitalist dailies. A year ago we were electrified with the an- nouncement that the party had decided to publish an English Communist daily. By the end of 1923 we had $75,000 in hand. A few months later and the DAILY WORKER was housed in its own building, was being produced by its own linotypes and press. For the many months we have behind us, the power that made the wheels of this big, red literature producing machine go ‘round and ’round was the loyal support of the thousands of comrades, BUILDERS, who industriously gathered subscriptions and knew no rest. eae eee ners, | NOW WE CALL FOR HELP! This call is made because we show the wisdom you expect of us. It is made because we know that you under- stand the trials of a revolutionary labor daily, Our wisdom is shown In that we PLAN AHEAD. We have given the daily problem days of sound thought. A thoro survey of our financial responsibilities has been made. We know exactly where the DAILY WORKER is weak, where it is strong. We know to a dollar just what the needs are. Understanding full well what is nesessary to INSURE THE DAILY WORKER FOR 1925; understanding just how to proceed to make the daily bigger, better, brighter for the year to come, we are ACTING. Our call for help must produce activity in you, Together we will put this job over. °° «+ *# @ Here is the program: Insurance policies in $1, $5 and $10 denominations have been issued. Books of these policies have been sent to every°branch secretary. If you are a party member, then buy your policy at your next branch meeting. Friends of the DAILY WORKER, who are not Workers Party mem- bers, should buy their policy direct from the daily. dain Organizations sympathetic to the dally and our movement and Work- ers Party branches should purchase oné or more $10 policies out of the funds in their treasuries. If there are any, who on account of unemployment, cannot buy a policy, well—these are not exempted from taking part in this campaign. All such comrades must undertake to sell a policy to some other worker. Policies should be sold to every worker who is willing to give the daily a lift. Policies should be sold at all meetings we hold. 1: ee We intend covering their yellow with a coat of red. This is a big undertaking. There is lots of ground to cover. It means a world to win. And the world is not such a small place. And the United States Is not such a small part of it. A beginning has been made. We have a party. We have a dally. With these we go forth to build a revolutionary labor movement, to triumph over Wall Street and its bootblacks. We progress, we advance, task by task. Your next step is to BUY A POLICY! Make the DAILY WORKER safe! We've got it! Let's keep it! AND BUILD!! Insure the DAILY WORKER for 1925! You understand the need of a labor press.

In spite of his admission that the Dawes plan has already increased un- employment in England and that the English workers might have to give up more and more, and that it would probably lengthen the workday of British toilers, Swales said he “felt optimistic” because Grassman had as- sured him that the retreat of the German worers had stopped. Swales himself had no policy for the English movement to take its share of the struggle against the Dawes plan, outside of electing another “la- bor” government. He appeared will- ing to leave all the fighting to the German workers, nor did he explain how the election of a new “labor” government would ameloriate the re- sults of the Dawes plan when it was the past “labor” government which put it into effect.

The fact that they are assured protection alone seems to make them nervous.

But even at this, the trip to witness the inauguration of Calles at government expense is losing its charm for the fat boys. Protest the Expense. Reports are that some Mexican working-class papers are protesting at the government paying out an enorm- ous sum of money to entertain Gom- pers and the other labor agents of northern imperialists, and are insist- ing that such money be devoted to aiding impoverished workers instead of wining and dining $10,000 a year labor fakers who can afford to go at their own expense if they feel any especial interest in the ceremony at Mexico City. a Chicago, Ill.
