"Editor of 'The Call':

"We are living in the days of big events. The revolution in Russia
has taught us some things that we ought to follow. One of them is
the distribution of literature. In the past we have been climbing
up four or five flights of stairs, standing on the street corners
handing out leaflets, wearing out our strength and patience. I took
a leaf out of the way the thing is done in Germany at present. All
over the city there are any number of large window sills, at the
top or very near the exits of the subway and elevated stations, the
window sills of large stores. These window sills will hold a large
amount of literature. Comrades going to work in the morning could
very easily place the leaflets on them; it would take only a few
seconds, the workers coming after them will pick them up. There is
also, in the downtown districts, quite a few empty newsstands that
are not used in the morning. These newsstands are generally at the
very mouth of the subway stations. Then there are a number of
benches in and on the stations that can be used. Our overcoat
pockets will easily hold 100 or 200 pieces of literature. The time
it takes to transfer the literature from our pockets to the window
sills, newsstand or bench is about two seconds. I have been on the
job for the last three weeks and the results have been astonishing.
What are not picked up by the workers are in a few hours read by a
large number of those out of work. We have got to come to it in the
very near future. The halls are closed to us; let's get busy.

"Very cold, windy and rainy mornings are not very good ones. The
one big drawback is to get some Comrade to write the leaflets. The
leaflet I have used is one taken from 'The Call,' issued by local
Kings, entitled 'Hell in Russia.' The way the workers grab it does
your heart good.

"Yours for the education of the workers,

"Andrew B. DeMilt.

"P. S.--The above-named places are also good for that 'Call' you
have laying around the house."

In the April 24, 1919, edition of "The Call," under the caption,
"Official Socialist News," and the subheading, "Queens" (County, New
York), we read:
