the locals will vote in the early part

Those Shop Nuclei

There are still some members of the Workers
Party who think of the shop nucleus problem as
an academic subject, interesting to specialists on
organization but rather dull matter for the or
binary rank and file. How far from the truth this
is may be realized by reading the enthusiastic
words of our comrades who are actually establish
ing shop nuclei, and who are therefore learning
what broad field of struggle and achievement it
opens up for the party.
"Here is resolution endorsing Foster and Git
low" writes the secretary of shop nucleus,
"adopted by the unanimous vote of the workers of
our shop. 1t is an organized shop and all the men
employed are members of the Machinists Union,
and has always been considered radical" But it
was always very vague radicalism and nothing
came from it-untH zoe organised our shop nucleus.
Since then we have gained the complete leadership
of the in the shop, have put life and spirit
into the union members, have taken control OF
the internal life of the shop and have crystallized
the vague radcalism into concrete decisions OF
policy on all questions that come up. Thus, on the
presidential election, entire shop of % workers
voted unanimously for Foster and Gitlow. We are
making progress in every direction. When the rest
of the party wakes up to the possibilities OF the
shop nucleus, our whole movement will forge ahead

These comrades have just begun to taste OF
the shop nucleus and we find them more enthu
sastic about it's results than even the most ardent
nuclei organizer in the party. Truly the Com
munist International has demonstrated again thu
high quality of its leadership when it insisted tina
every Communist Party in the world must re
organize upon the basis of shop nuclei. 1t is thu
only road to a mass Communist Party.
