The Foster meeting held recently was the most successful Communist meeting held for a number of years. Over two hundred and fifty work- ers gave attentive and enthusiastic reception to his treatment of the problems of the worker A collec- tion of $115, was taken and a large number of Party programs, accept- ance speeches, and other Party lit- erature was sold. Several workers signed epplications to join the Party. Plans were made to make the Git- low meeting a success. With the enthusiasm created by the Foster meeting as a basis, this should not} be difficult. A number of street meetings have been held where Party and League speakers presented the Communist position on the various problems fac- ing the workers today. Most of the meetings have been held in Port- land, but trips have also been made to adjoining towns. Communist meetings are today the most popu- lar street meetings in Portland. The results have been most satisfactory. Considerable literature has been sold, new members gained for Party and League, and a considerable bod of sympathizers built up. Foster, Gitlow On Ballot. | A campaign was carried on for the collection of the 10,400 signa- tures necessary to put the Party on the ballot. A number of sympathi- zers was thus put in touch with the Party, and a considerable amount of Party literature distributed. How- ever, it was found impossible to col- | lect the necessary signatures in the | short time at our disposal with the weak forces at our command, par- ticularly since fifty per cent of the signatures had to be from outside acquainted with" Portland, that is from small towns, we The Rev.

Much credit must be given the Young Workers (Communist) League for its part in the campaign. Altho Small, (there-are only about fifteen League members in Port- land who up till the time of the elec- tion campaign never having under- taken any mass work), the League threw itself into the campaign en- ergetically. League members from To Drug the Workers! ‘Coyvage’ by Tom Barry |from the path of rectitude as taught | |by the parsons, whose larders are| the | smaller towns, and from Washing- | ton where the task of putting the Party on the ballot was not so great, came to Portland and gave their full time to collecting signa- tures.

Nevertheless, we are deter- mined that many hundred workers ‘shall be made acquainted with our Party and its program of militant struggle thru the election campaign. Nor do we intend to stop when the |election campaign is over. We will turn the enthusiasm genergted dur- ing the election campaign into other lines of Communist activity and keep up our work until we have a real mass movement here in Oregon, and then we will go on till we have overthrown the capitalist system and replaced it with the government of the workers and farmers. —R.
