and they can meet almost at any time
since they are always together. They
can meet together at the noon lunch
for instance, and discuss some pro-
blem which may come to their mind.
They pay their dues thru the sec
rotary of the shop nucleus. They get
literature from the shop nucleus liter
ature agent, and they undertake to
sell or to distribute it to their fellow
workers in the shop.
Conscious Of what needs to be done,
they recognize in the slogan Of the
Communist internationally Education
thru direct participation in the class
struggle" not merely a phrase but a
fact arising before them in a thousand
different ways in the shop.
The party members look about
them in the shop. What is really
going on? Are the workers in the
shop satisfied with their conditions?
Are they thinking about shorter
hours, more wages, better conditions?
Are they thinking about organizing,
if they are unorganized? Are their
fellow workers giving any thought to
political problems? Do they read any
thing else besides the capitalist
papers? Do they think about anything
else besides going home after work
to eat, to rest, perhaps to go to a
movie, ball game, a prize fight, a
pool room?
These are things which a member
of shop nucleus begins to think
about because he with the other party
members are organized in the shop.
The shop nucleus members see that,
if they want to make any Roadway
among the workers in the shop, they
must try to respond to and to gauge
and see all the needs and activities
of the workers in the shop. The shop
nucleus must meet regularly to take
up the questions of the day in the
shop, the economic questions. Then
they must see what they can do to
crystalline and carry out the problems
in the shops with view towards
their political or Communist develop
ment.
The shop nucleus, therefore, works
out a practical program for itself as
a nucleus, as party unit, and for the
rest Of the workers in the shop whom
it tries to get to carry out that pro-
gram.
Should the girls in the National
Biscuit Company be in dissatisfied
mood because of the dirty aprons they
have to work with, the shop nucleus
begins to carry on an agitation for
clean aprons. Small, true, but step
into shop any day and find out what
little things workers think about. Is
the food in the cafeteria in the Hart,
Schaffner and Marx firm poor? Is
Wards scab bread being used in the
so-called union cafeteria? The shop
nucleus members begin discussing
how to compel the cafeteria to get
better food, to get union-made bread
there. Is half an hour lunch time too
short time in which to gulp down the
meager lunch? The shop nucleus
takes up the issue of an hour for
lunch time. Is there a possibility of
wage cut in the Pullman or Hege-
wisch car shops? The shop nucleus
members begin to raise a protest, to
discuss the standard of living today;
how to organize the men against the
wage cut; how union could perhaps
prevent that. Is there an election
campaign on? The shop nucleus
members make sure to distribute
among the shop mates leaflets, to
start discussion on the candidate or
to try to take up a collection to help

A Family Reunion

on Thursday August Z, there was
n real home coming of the relatives OF
j. NJ. Thomas and wife Of Success to
pay Mr.. Thomas visit on his 6oth
birthday All parties had good time
and enjoyed splendid birthday aim
ner at the noon hour. Some Of the
members Of the family had not met
with all of the others at one time IN
over twenty years.
They came from different parts OF
the United states, from far north OF
the Mason and Dixon Line to near the
Gulf of Mexico, from the fertile val
Ieys Of Arkansas to the sandy lands
of Oklahoma. Mr.. A. NJ. Johnson
wife and children, came from BrlstoW
oklahoma. Mr.. Glen Thomas came
from Marshallfeld, Ill. Mr.. Phin
Thomas came from Wiona, Iowa. Mrs.
Adda Hicks and children came from
Helena. Ark. n. II. Thomas came from
Dothan. Ala. A. J. Cole and wife and
girls came from Birmingham, Ala. DIT.
Carrens. wife and family came from
their home at Pitman, Ark.
Mr.. J. NJ. Thomas and wife have
been very fortunate with their family.
They came from Illinois to Arkansas
almost twenty-three years ago while a
greater portion Of their family were
small. They have all (except one lit
tie girl who passed out of this world
many years ago) grown to be mature
men and women, and all except one
have families, and nearly every one
connected directly with Mr.. Thomas
family was present at this birthday
dinner. All were well and happy, and
Dad Thomas appeared to be the young
est and happest one Of the bunch.
We trust he may enjoy many more
happy birthdays.
II is barely possibly that all of these
folks may meet in like way again
some time, but not probable. All of
the above mentioned families took din
ner with DIR. Carrens and wife on Sun
day, the 10th, and in addition to those,
Aunt Lucy Carrens. the mother of DIR.
Carrens, and other members of his
family. All had good time, and the
dinner-talk about the yellow legged
chickens-and all the trimmings that
go with it. l will leave that for You
TO guess at. One who was present.

One-Room House" Latest
Scheme for SoUing Space

The old jest about the Irishrnsn
who, If he wanted 10 20 from the
kitchen into the psrlor Of his hum
bic home, @just stayed where he
was," is being translated into
reality.
A Berlin architect has erected in
the suburbs four novel houses, the
object being 10 economic space.
In reality each house merely con-
sists Of one large room, at the end
Of which il an arrangement similar
TO circular moving stage.
This is divided into three sections,
one containing the essentials of q
kitchen, another the essentials Of q
bedroom, and the third those Of q
reception room. Thus, for example,
in q moment the kitchen can be
transformed into q reception room
or the latter into q bedroom.
The public appears TO view the
idea with some doubt; for despite
the shortage Of houses only one Of
these new buildings has obtained 9
tenant.
