To be really successful 6,000 people would have to attend the show, and this means that every member would have to bring out six fellow workers. Every delegate reported on the action of his organization on these points and spe- cial committees were appointed to cover affairs brot to notice thru the delegates’ reports.

Comrade Maurer reported on the great Ruthenberg Defense Drive now being launched by the Labor Defense Council. Trade unions had already begun to send in resolutions of pro- test and speakers would be sent out to bring the case before the organized workers.

Thursday, January 15, 1925 And So We Call Upon District 1 to Report In this self-same corner of our dally, for the next twelve days, dis; trict after district of the Workers Party will report its accomplishments to date in our insurance campaign. We are sure that there is not a member in the party that has not heard about the insurance policies and how their sale will vitalize and make secure our daily. But as sure as we are of this, we also know that less than half of the party branches has responded with remittances to date. And so we are going to call the roll. We are going to have every branch, as its name ‘is called, tell whether it has yet helped the daily to an eventful, successful 1925, how much it has helped, or whether its first dollar has still to reach us.

The Job Before District 1 District 1 has a totaal of 99 party branches. Of this number 42 have made remittances. But many of these 42 that have remitted have not nearly sold Insurance Policies to all their members. There are 57 branches in District 1 that have not yet sent in a single dollar. We will be glad to hear from every one of them within the next two weeks. > The quota, upon the basis of three dollars per member, given Dis- trict 1, is $6,330. Of this amount the 42 branches that have remitted sent in a total of $828,75. There are an average of 2,110 members in District 1. Altho the quota assigned is $3.00 per member. we have not yet received even $1.00 per member from this district. en We know that District 1 is going to make good. We expect that when next we print a report from District 1,. the total remittances will at least $1.00 per member. And then on to the $3.00 per mem- ber goal. ‘ John J.
