The price of one button is 10 cents, for ten or more, 6 cents each. Workers are asked to order buttons now, to sell and distribute them in shops, factories, mines, etc. One of the methods of agitation for the Ninth Anniversary is thru every worker sympathizing with the Soviet Union by wearing a button announcing his sympathy and support, W.

Each and every unit in the | district will send two representatives to the meeting. The party has done very good work since the reorganiza- | ion, but it seems that the attendance of the units is not what it should be. e units must call special meetings, if necessary, to elect delegates to the conference, Each and every unit must be represented at the meeting of this conference, which is so vital to the party in the city. The agenda for the meeting will be as follows: (1) Functions of the de- partments of the party, by A, Jakira; (2) reorganization and its effects, by B. Ljutich; (3) trade union work and | fractions, by George Papcun; (4) agit- | prop, by D. E. Earley. The best comrades of the units must be elected to the conference. It is | your duty as a member of your unit |to see that it meets and elects dele- gates, and that the following condi- | tions be remedied. Looking over the | party in the city you will find some | very astounding faults which each and every Communist must immediately take into consideration. Out of 148 members On an average 23 members attend meetings. We find that only }80 members are industrial workers; 41 of them belong to trade unions, |89 of them are not in unions at,all. | Out of the trade union membership it is possible to organize eight fractions in trade unions and only one fraction is functioning. When you 100K at the above figures you will see the impor- tance of attending your unit meet- ings and seeing that they elect dele- gees to this conference, Cleveland Workers Plan Big Observance of Soviet Revolution CLEVELAND, Oct. 24—At a time WORKERS PARTY ENTERS CANDIDATES IN STATE ELECTIONS THIS YEAR In a number of states nominations have been filed by petition while in others the Petition campaign is still in progress to place Workers (Communist) Party can- didates officially on the ballots, Nominations officially filed: Michigan. ‘The following canidates will apnea officially on the ballot in the Fa elections to be held Tuesday, Nov, 2: Governor, William Reynolds.

It is expected that it will be possible to organize in Boston several elemen- tary English classes, while comrades in Maynard, Peabody, Quincy and tke (Copyright, 1926, by Uptom Sinclair) Il. ra Well, Tovarish Roscoe went to bed, in Nile green silk paja~- mas on a cot out in the court alongside the fountain; and at five in the morning they woke him, so that he might go out with Dad and the geologist and the engineer, to O. K. the plans for the Bandy tract. He came back with the sunrise in his eyes, puffing and snorting,-and yelling for beer instead of breakfast, and how would he get some more when this gave out? They persuaded him that he must not try to cross the desert until the sun went down, so he and Dad and Bunny retired into the living room, and shut all the doors and windows, to stick it out as best they could, other points who took the lessons last season will undoubtedly continue their studies along these lines. See Successful Year. In additiqgri many foreign language groups have become interested in this work, so that all signs point to a suc- cessful ‘season. The school will avail itself of the two new textbooks pub- lished by the Workers’ School of New York, which for the first tims puts the teaching of English to workers on a firm foundation. The Workers’ School will differ from public schools not only in that English will be taught free from the taint of tapitalist propaganda, but it will be taught in a realistic manner, develop- ing the workers’ ability to read and write by connecting up the legsons with his actual experientes in the shop or factory, Citizen Training. An interesting feature this year and an addition to last year’s course will be the training for citizenship, Every foreigner in this country who is forced to submit to capitalist wage slavery should resolve to become an American citizen in order to have some say re- garding the conditions uhder which he lives. The classes in English will train the students in answering the questions that are put by the naturali- fvation inspectors as well as assisting in the actual steps to be taken to be- come naturalized. Among the teachers who Have agreed to conduct classes are Phyllis Feningston, Al Binch, Joseph Berman, Lillian Futran, Max Lerner, Ben Klayman, Elizabeth Goldman, B. Rub- enstein, and others. Classes in inter- mediate English will be organized if sufficient students register for the course. Every foreign-speaking worker who wishes to become more effective in the work in the labor movement and every foreign-speaking member of the Workers’ Party should take a class in the Workers’ School.

By the middle of the morning he was frantic; declar- ing that surely there must be some way to cool a house.’ By Jees, let’s get a hose and soak this room! But Bunny, who had st udied physics, said that would only shift them from the climate of the desert to the climate of the Congo river. Mr. Roscoe suggested turning the hose on the veranda and the roof; and Bunny catled the gardener boy, and pretty soon there were half a dozen sprink- 7 going, a regular rain storm over the doors. and windows of the fiag room. n But tat was not enough, so Dad went to the phone and call- ed up the foreman of the sheet metal shop, and he said sure thing, he could design a refrigerator; and Dad said to drop everything else and build one, and he’d pay the men a dollar apiece extra if they finished it inside an hour. So here came four fellows with a truck and a big metal box with double walls ‘all the way from the floor to the ceiling; and they cut a hole in the floor for a vent pipe, ‘and brought in about half a ton of cracked ice from the ice plant, and a couple of sacks of salt, and in a few minutes the ther- mometer showed a zero wind blowing out from the bottom of* that box. The great man moved over close to it, and in a little while he began to sigh with content, and in half an hour he gave a loud “Kerchoo!” and they alll roared with laughter. After that he was sleepy, with all the beer he had drunk, and had a nap on the lounge, while Dad went out to see to the drilling. And then the party had lunch, and Mr. Roscoe had another nap, aftgr which he felt fine, and did a lot of talking, and Bunny learn- ed some more about the world in which he lived. “Jim,” said the magnate, “I want two hundred thousand dollars of your money.” “Where’s your gun?” said Dad, amiably, “You'll get it back many times over. It’s a little fund we're raising, me and Pete O’Reilly and Fred Orpan. We can’t talk about it except to a few.” " “What is it, Verne?” “Well, we're getting ready for the Republican convention, and by Jees,.it’s not going to be any god-damn snivelling long- faced college professor!

Dockweiler thinks he can put him over with two or three million, and he’ll pledge us the secretary of the interior.” “T see,” said Dad—not having to ask what that meant. “T’'ve got my eye on a tract—been watching it the last ten b years, and it’s a wonder. Excelsior Pete put down two test wells, and then they capped them and hushed it up; there was a gov- ernment report that mentioned it, but they had it suppressed and you can’t get a copy anywhere—but Ihad one stolen for me: There’s about foyty thousand acres, all oil.” . “But how can you get it away from Hx¢elsior?” ‘The government has taken the whole district—supposed to be an oil reserve for the navy. But what the’ Hell use will it be to the navy, with no developments? The damn fools think you can drill wells and build pipe lines and storage tanks while congress is voting a declaration of war. Let us get in there and get out the oil, and we'll sell the navy all they want.” That was Dad’s doctrine, so there was nothing to discuss. He laughed, and said, “You'd better be on the safe side, Verne.
