That means to say that in all its activities it is guided by a gen- eral idea, by the broadest and most comprehensive conception of the so- cial forces that make history. At the same time, however, the F'reiheit is trating every nook and corner of the life of the Jewish workers, noting every event, however small on the surface, shedding light on every movement, explaining to the workers every detail of their interests, arous- ing them to action.

It has lost all its influence over the working masses. It is not able to fill a hall with rank and file workers, even when it uses all its machinery of ad- vertising.
