D. Benjamin, district organizer for eastern Pennsylvania, has 1,800 signatures on hand, with 500 more collected in the Anthracite, and 400 in Cheswick county that have not been turned in. Twelve comrades are called in to the district office every’ day with instructions to collect 40 signatures. The District Organizer expects to secure 1,800 more signatures by this means. In western Pennsylvania, A. Jakira | reports that he has 2,300 signatures on hand with 500 more in the hands of the comrades thruout the district. To make sure that there will be no slipup in getting the Party ticket jon the ballot Jakira intends to col- lect 3,500 signatures, 500 more than his quota. The total number re- quired for getting the Party on the ticket in Pennsylvania is six thou- sand.
