Comrades!
It is reported that the Socialist Party Convention on August 30 will be held in the Machinists headquarters. As we understand it, the old will call its convention on the second floor, while the new will hold forth on the first floor. Both sessions are scheduled to come to order at the same hour. Now, we would suggest that each provided itself with a reception committee armed with megaphones. The committee making the most noiss would most likely win out.
PROSTRATE RUSSIA God the all merciful, Russia lies bleeding, Stabbed by her traitors and mangled by focs; Hear as we bend before thee interceding, Look on her agonies, pity her woes.
The Call of the International has been answered by the formation of the Communist Party of America. The expense of the propaganda necessary to make that party a success must be met. The expenses of the convention that will finally draw up the manifesto, program and constitution of the Communist Party of America must be defrayod.
In the state of Michigan an assessment of one dollar per member has bcon levied to meet the expense of organization. That is not excessive and should be easily mot.
We have not the space to make a full pago appeal to you in this matter, even if it were necessary. The space in this paper is too valuablo and must be used for other purposes We know that you are behind us and will see the pood of funds and answer the call. ACT NOW! Make your contribution as largo as possible. With your loyal support the future of the Communist Party of Amorica is asured.

NATIONAL ORGANIZATION COMMITTEE DENNIS BATT, Secretary Send forth Thy Word, that shall bring to the nations Healing for misery, hope for despair.
Humbly we utter our heart supplications, Trembling we offer our penitent prayer.
Give them defense who were Europe defenden, Beating the Tartar aback from thy fold, Battling for faith and for freedom contender Recompense now for their heroes of old.
Thou wilt not answer our plea with rejection. Ask what ye will, what ye ask shall be done.
Give to her, chastened and saved, resurrection.
Father, grant this in the name of thy Son. Ernest Ball (Chicago Hell Peddler)
