The Official Organ of the United Communist Party of Australia outlines weekly publication from Communist Hall in Sydney. It lists editor C. W. Baker and subscription rates 6 shillings yearly, 3 shillings half-yearly, 1 shilling quarterly.
The May Day procession devolved into a quiet critique of wage reductions in New South Wales. Comrade Howie urged solidarity, but crowds dispersed rather than marched, exposing weak union leadership and the depth of worker apathy. The piece lambasts Trade Union Secretaries, Labor parties, and capitalist influence while calling for renewed revolutionary leadership and action.
The Communist announces price cut to one penny and smaller four page format. It frames changes as a shift to propaganda content with The Proletarian as party organ and urges readers and branches to boost circulation, pay dues weekly, and donate to the press fund while requesting subscriptions to both papers.
The Proletarian becomes a Communist Party organ offering education theory and international events. Each month includes a Communist International document and a revolutionary song. May carries Theses on United Working Class Front and The Red Army March. June features The Russian Funeral March and the Red Trade Union International thesis.
