With plans for the Minneapolis
drive in behalf of the Palestine
Restoration Fund to begin March 20
now well under way, considerable
local interest is taken in the state
ment just made by Great Britain's
war minister, Winston S. Churchill,
that Palestine will have a population
of between three and four million
during the present generation, with
the character of a Jewish homeland
under mandatory of one of the al
lied powers.
Prominent Jews of this city, and
officers of the local Restoration
Fund believe that Minister Church
ills statement in last Sundays Lon
don Herald, is one of the most i'm
portant announcements bearing on
the Jewish problem made since Bal
four's memorable declaration of
November 2, 1917 definitely pledg-
ing England to the establishment of
a Jewish homeland in Palestine.

Jews, an event would have occurred
in the history of the world which
would, from every point of view, be
beneficial, and would be especially in
harmony with the truest interests of
the British Empire.
Zionism has already become a fac
tor in the political commissions of Rus,
STA, as powerful competing influence
in Bolshevik circles with the inter-
national cOmmunistic system. Moth
ing could be more significant than the
fury with which Trotsky has attacked
the Zionist generally, and DR.. Weitz-
man in particular. The cruel penetra-
tion of his mind leaves him in no
doubt that his schemes of a world
wide cOmmunistic State under Jewish
domination are directly thwarted and
hindered by this new ideal, which di-
reefs the energies and the hopes of
Jews in every land towards simpler,
a truer, and far more attainable
goal. The struggle which is now be-
ginning between the Zionist and Boil
shevik Jews is little less than a strug,
gle for the soul of the Jewish people.
Duty of Loyal Jews.
1t is particularly important in these
circumstances that the national Jews
in every country who are loyal to the
land of their adoption, should come
forward on every occasion, as many
of them in England have already done,
and take prominent part in every
measure for combating the Bolshevik
conspiracy. In this way they will
be able to vindicate the honour of
the Jewish name and make it clear
to all the world that the Bolshevik
movement is not Jewish movement,
but is repudiated vehemently by the
great mass of the Jewish race.
But negative resistance to Bolshe
vism in any field is not enough. Posi-
tive and practicable alternatives are
needed in the moral as well as in the
social sphere; and in building up with
the utmost possible rapidity Jew
ish national center in Palestine which
may become not only refuge to the
oppressed from the unhappy lands of
Central Europe, but which will also
be symbol of Jewish unity and the
temple of Jewish glory, task is pre-
scented on which many blessings rest.

Usually these committees are in the industrial
centres of these regions. As subsidiary organ it
may have it's agents in the various towns en-
braced by it but these are not obligatory; these
agents are usually elected at local meetings of
the members and carry out the instructions Of the
higher organ.
The congress of the union is held once year,
the representatives at this conference are elected
at regional conferences on the basis of strict pro-
portion of one delegate to every 1000 members
The Conference elects the central committee of
the union The regulations of the Congress, and in
the intervals between congresses, the regulations
of the Central Committee are obligatory upon all
the organs of the union and upon all the members.
The union also allows the organization of sec
tions for those categories of labor the working
conditions of which are to same extent peculiar
or to those who have comparatively recently en-
tered into the organization. These sections are
organized in the form of elected subsidiary
organs attached to the general trade union but
they have not the right to carry out any ndepend-
ent resolutions without the sanction of the union
neither can they have separate funds. In the
whole national union there is only one engineers
section; in some local organizations there are
sections of workers working in gold, silver and
platinum, or there are also sections of workers
working in electrical undertakings. There are no
other sections at the present moment. The metal
workers union is in this manner one complete
organization strongly welded by the common in
terests of The metal working industry.
This structure of the metal workers union was
laid down in the process of prolonged organiza-
ton work aud found its expression in the rules
of the union organs accepted at the second Con-
gress of the Union.

The toiler. [volume] (Cleveland, Ohio) 1919-1922, 1920-12-04

The Metal Workers Union at the present mo-
ment is national organization which embraces
all those engaged in the metal and metal working
industry. All workers, engaged in obtaining metal
from the mines and working this metal in any
form from smelling to the making Of machines
and metal implements, are included in our Union
Besides this it includes all occupations in metal
lurgical or metal working undertaking irrespective
of category or trade. Thus, our members include
skilled and unskilled workers, the office staff,
technicans and engineers, workers serving the
different crafts as the wood mould makers for
instance, engaged in the metal works. are all in
cluded in our union.
This principle of industrial organization was
accepted by the union already in 1917 and to
considerable degree defined our strength in the
revolutionary class struggle At the present mo-
ment it is an essential condition of the work of
the union in organizing the metal industry on
socialist foundations.
Structure OF The Union
The scheme of organization of the metal work.
ers' union is based on the following: the primary
organization is the factory committee. This is
elected every six months at a general meeting of
workers and employees generally consisting of
from to II members. The main task of the
Committee consists in carrying out all the trade
union regulations in the factory it deals with the
protection of labor, trade union agitation and
propaganda, supplying the workers with necessary
provisions, clothes as well as articles of general
consumption and maintains the fundamental basis
of trade union and industrial discipline among
the members of the union. The Conference OF
Factory Committees of given industrial area
usually, a territorial area little less than gov
ernment (goubenia), represents the higher
directing organ within that area. This conference
elects the regional committee which manages
these regional branches Of the All-Russian Union
of Metal Workers.

Government Engineers Visit
Lock Eight.

Major Rawlston, Captain Wal
ker and Cheif Clerk Goodman,
who are in charge of the work
of locking and daming the Cum
berland river, were In Carthage
last Monday en- route to West
Point where they went to make
preliminary survey and to de-
ternine where Lock No. s should
be built. While in Carthage
these gentlemen also inspected
the Carthage wharf to ascertain
Just what would have to be done
to put the wharf in shape for
hauling fuel and other supplies
to be used in the construction OF
Lock No. & It. has not been
given out just where Lock No. 3
will be located, but 1t is known
that it will be somewhere near
West Point Landing.
That the Government is going
to again take hold of the propos-
ition of locking and daming the
upper Cumberland will be good
news to the people from Car
thage to Burnside. For the
past several years boats have
been able to make trips from
Nashville to West Point the year
round, but the great bulk of the
upper river traffic is above here
and making the river navigable
the year round all tho way thru
Is going to prove great boon to
the upper river section, as these
people are far away from rail-
road points. According to an
Act passed By Congress some
months ago sufficient money was
appropriated to complete the
upper river locks. But 1t is re-
membered, that Act carried a
provision to the effect that be-
fore any locks would be built
the Government would have. to
be protected against any DAM
ages overflows caused by the
locks.
All the counties in the state
through which the river passes,
took care of this provision with
resolutions passed by the County
Courts, pledging to pay all such
damages. In Kentucky, how
ever. il was found that the con
stitution of that state would not
permit counties to take sucf
action and it was on this account
the locking and daming prolec
was halted for q time as the Ac
creating the money for the locks
further provided that the rive
would have to be opened iron
its head to mouth before singh
lock would be started.
Some weeks ago our efticieh
Congressman Cordell Hull, foun
a remedy for the awkward situa
tion and had an Act passed b
Congress which enabled ker
lucky to open up its part of tn
river, and now the locks will 3

tion work on Lock No. 8 at We;
