Y.— The shoe strikers of the Garofoli Shoe Co. of 211 Til Stre have been meet- | ing in the Workers Center, 132 Myrtle Avenue, for the past few months. Last Wednesday a cop came up and said that the strikers were not al- lowed to meet here, for there was} an injunction against the shoe strik- | ers. The cop said that the strikers | were not allowed to meet within five locks of the factory and this cen- ter is 414 blocks from the shop. The cops are trying to intimidate the strikers, but the meetings are 1g held as usual. The workers are courageously struggling for better) conditions and better pay. { m.

The next speaker was Mr. Gordon, the arch betrayer of the workers in past struggles in the leather indus- try, especially among the pocketbook workers. The workers bombarded these speakers with such embarras- sing questions such as: Does this union have rank and file control? What are the dues and_ initiation, etc. Then the workers became so disgusted that they marched out of came to the hall of the Polish Work- ers Club and expressed their willing- ness to organize into the Shoe and the hall in a body and many of them Leather Workers Industrial Union. before the N.R.A.

Only the bosses ride Worker Finds Revolution ary l Friend of the Strikers Dispensary Takes $8 for Glasses That Don’t Fit (By a Worker Correspondent.) NEW YORK.—The Herman Knapp Memorial Hospital, at 57th Street and Tenth Ave., has a dispensary sup- posedly for the poor. I went there to get a pair of glasses. After registering my name and ad- dress, I was examined by the doctor. And then the pulling of money be- gan. I was told to go to the nurse to make an appointment for another examination and to bring a dollar along with me, besides $2.50 for a pair of glasses. On the following day the doctor gave me a prescription and I was told to go downstairs to get the glasses. I'came down two minutes before 12 o’clock and had to wait until one o’clock to have measures taken for the frames. I was then told to pay $4.50 plus the $2.50 deposit. This in a dispen- sary for the poor—$7 for the glasses and $1 for the examination. The glasses are of no valuato me because they do not fit. I came back to the dispensary. When the doctor first looked at them he asked me where I got them. When he found that I got them in the hospital, he immedi- ately changed his mind and said, “that’s nothing, youll get used to them.” I had to borrow the $8 and now I have no glasses. When I came back to the hospital to demand my money back, I notice several other workers there for the same reason. Jacobs and Son Shoe Workers Fight Slavery By a Worker Correspondent NEW YORK—The workers at Ja- cobs & Son shoe factory are on strike against misery and slavery. The factory consists of six floors. The workers walk those floors up and twice up and twice down, elevators. The workers are exposed to germs, fleas and pestilence. The la- dies’ washroom can boast of roaches and overfiooded toilets and fiith. In the greatest summer heat the water stopped. Girls fainted and were re- fused permission to go home. An old rusty faucet supplied the sick, faint- ing workers water, with dirt and |rusty iron in it. ‘The average pay for » day’s work amounts to between 7 cents and $1.70 a day. A Smart Slave Driver Mr. Basch prides himself on being a smart slave driver. His method was to instill hatred in each worker's heart for his fellow worker. He sepa- rated the fitting room on three dif- ferent floors. Two workers were brave enough to start the strike by picketing. Mr. Basch got cold feet when he saw two poor workers showing some spirit. He immediately called a bunch of gangsters to be his cat’s paws. Then he fixed things up with the police. He tried to arrest J. Crane, our or- ganizer, and succeeded in getting his bullies to beat up the picketers. But it will take plenty of beatings to break the workers’ spirit. Once we step out we won't come back unless we ‘will be treated like human be~ ings and that will never be unless our Industrial Union is recognized. Tenants Fight Mass Evicti (By a Worker Correspondent.) CHICAGO, IllI live in a tene- ment in Hyde Park in Chicago, on a poor strect alongside the railroad tracks. Right across the tracks from us live the rich in the big hotels. There are seven workers’ families in the building, five having paid their rent regularly; one man works for the agent for his rent, and an old lady is taking rent from our agent because he has cheated her out of a thousand dollars. Most of us have invested our small savings in decorat- ing the flats. After accepting our rent up to Nov, 1st, the agent recently notified us that he intended to close up the building, saying it “has no owner” and “it doesn't pay to run it.” He accepted ovr money, but has given us no heat and as a result there are a dozen people sick in the house. Not one family will move and we have formed 2 Tenants’ Council, and here we shall remain in our homes. Yesterday we visited the city hall with a committee of women and to- day, the agent has sent five tons of coal, and if he does not keep this up, we are prepared to act. ‘This will be the worst winter we have had, and many tenants will find PARTY LIFE Clarify Role of Party When _ You Recruit Workers.to Join e “High Pressure” Recruiting Fails in Its Objects Example Shown for Comrades: (bed column has been organized to i giving their experiences. of mass work, etc. ing out of the Open Letter by a daily discussion of the life Party, and by an interchange of experience in order that these experi- ences may become the property of the entire Party. This can only be done if the comrades in the districts will send in their experiences. We ask that all District, Section and Unit organizers arrange to have the comrades engaged in all phases of Party work to write us brief articles We specifically want articles dealing with methods of developing struggles in the factories and among the unemployed, particularly with struggles against the N. R, A. with the work of building organizations in the shops, the building of oppositions in the A, F. of L., the develop~ ment of struggles against lynching and for Negro rights, the work among the women, the distribution of the Daily Worker in the factories and in the neighborhoods, the fluctuation of membership and the steps you have taken to overcome it, how you have improved the inner life of your units, how you have used the Party literature in the development assist the membership in the carry- work of the OME comrades are too eager to get “credit” for recruiting workers in the Party. They don’t take time to explain to the workers participating in strikes and unemployed struggles the nature of the Party that they are asked to join, which often results in these workers, who sign applica- tions, not replying or responding to the call to come to the Section for their membership book. Very often they state that they are not yet ready to join. A typical case is that of ————, a Negro needle trades worker. During the Jast needle trades strike she was asked to sign an application for the Party. This application was countersigned by a responsible Party functionary and the membership book was sent to the Section without any delay through investigation or other red tape. The Section, however, kept the book for three months and then returned it to the district with the notation “does not respond.” The district sent a letter and the appli- cant responded. When we asked her why she didn’t call for her book and attend meetings, she stated she was already attending meetings at St. Luke’s Hall in Harlem and so we found out that this worker was at- tending meetings of the LL.G.W.U, and thought that this was the or- ganization she joined when she filled out the application for the Party. D. L., New York District. IZ above example, as well as those described in this column yester- day, show clearly the serious results of looseness in dealing with new ap- plicants. It is one of the major factors which prevents many good elements from joining our ranks, and which demoralizes some of the new, enthusiastic Party members. These examples are taken from the experi- ences of New York district, but they characterize the general situation which prevails to a greater or lesser degree throughout the Party. At the present time when the Party is leading many struggles, where new leading forces are spring- ing up from the ranks of strikers (among the metal workers, mines, textiles, etc.), more intensified re- cruiting is the way to build our Party into @ mass proletarian Party. We must take steps to break down all hindrances which prevent workers from joining the Party. Because of the “red tape” in joining our Party too many workers are given the im- pression that the Party is a sect that doesn’t want them. Carry Good Decision: Into Life How can we make the drive more effective and prevent the loss of good elements who are willing to join the Party? ‘This: problem was dis- cussed many times and good de- cisions were made. These good de- cisions must now be put info effect and checked up:- 1. Each section’ should have a membership committee of five who will be responsible for the handling of new members in the section, un- der the supervision of the Section 2. Applicants should be brought with their application cards to the section membership committee in or- der to avoid red tape and delay. 3. The section membership com- mittee shall secure the address of the endorsers of the applicants (and the unit and section to which they belong) in order to establish the trustworthiness of the applicants. 4, The visiting of the applicants shall be made directly by the mem- bers of the membership committee. No sections shall be given credit f¢ any new members on the basis applications or paid invitations, only on the basis of how many wer! actually assigned to unite: . 3. The captain system: shall be re- enforced, not only with the view of a better distribution of work among the members of a unit, etc., but also to establish @ better relationship be- tween the Party members in the _ same group; notifying them of the _ next meeting place, etc. In this | manner we will prevent the drop- ping out, especially of new members, who sometime miss one or two meet- ings and are therefore nnable to find their own unit meeting place. 6.
