Rum Row Scatters.

Already, it is reported, the Govern
ment's war against the rum fleet is ef-
fective before any shots have been
fired. Evidently scared of by the
preparations for an active campaign,
the ships on rum row of New York
have dwindled within the month from
72 to about 25. Where the missing g
ones have gone is not known. Maybe
they have slipped of to other points
along the coast. Perhaps they have
sought harbors under other flags.
Maybe they are waiting for the pres

A smile self-approving SO sweetly re-

You're glad that your hairs getting

Perhaps the worst bore of all is
the fat woman who takes her stand
in front of you, determined to glare
you out of your seat. Now, a fat
woman swaying from side to side on
a strap like an elephant on a chain
is a sight to make Mephisto sympa-
thetic.. The male passenger may
read his paper assiduously; he knows
whenever he looks up she will be
right there glaring at him. The
strain becomes something awful.
Giggly girls and smartaleck boys
are much alike, the one sex running
to "tee-hee" and the other to scrap
ping amongst themselves or throw
ing their caps around the car.
Street car loud speakers" are a
hopeless lot. There is no use trying
to reform them. If a woman laughs
at you, you can squelch her in short
order by looking at her shoes, and
smiling quietly, but when a man in
sists on making a public forum out of
street car, all you can do Is listen
or get of.
The man who won't move over, like
the man who sits sideways, Is the
modern type of the old "end seat
hog" The way to treat him is to
force him to move.
AS for mean motormen and conduc-
tors, much can be forgiven them,
when it 10 remembered that they have
to put UP vita the above bores all day

NEW YORK. October 1S.-F'urther
Improvement was shown in the for
ward movement in today's short ses-
sion on the curb exchange. There
were a number Of strong issues in
the public utility group under the
leadership of Middle West Utilities
and East Penn Electric. Initial deal
'ugs began in American Water Works,
which sold at 231z and "a on a when
issued basis. Radio shares also were
higher.
In the petroleum division most in
terest today was attached to the
steady demand in Vacuum Oil and In
iernational Petroleum. Other shares
were quiet with firm tone being
maintained at the levels reached on
The recent advance.
The most important feature during
'hc week was the response recorded
- the changed situation in the pc
troleum industry measured by the
further reduction in crude oil output
which brought the daily production
down to below the two million barrel
mark. An order by the Prairie Oil
and Gas Company disseminating pro-
rating and accepting all offers made
at current prices was another
Strengthening influence following the
steady reduction in output. Prairie
Oil, which sold at 1875 early in the
week, rallied to 215 and the advance
in this stock had an influence on deal
ings in other Standard Oil issues.

NEW YORK, October 1S.-Stock
prices swung upward in brisk fashion in
todays brief session of the market
as fresh accumulation by operators
on the long side stimulated covering
by spectators for the decline, who
had sold stocks freely in the early
days of the week. Commission houses
reported that buying was encouraged
by more cheerful feeling regarding
the political outlook, lower money
rates and the improvement shown
in several lines of business.
CoaIcrS Fairly Active.
Speculative attention was riveted
OF the railroad shares by the con.
tinuance of high car loadings, ru-
nnrs of dividend assumptions and in
rreaSes and reports of progress to-
ward the consolidation of several

Hudson standing out with a gain of
more than 4 points and Lackawanna,
Erie second preferred, Reading and
Pittsburgh and West Virginia clos
ing 1 to points above Fridays final

Revival of interest in the Rock Is
land issues followed the prediction of
Chairman Hayden of the board of di-
rectorS that the road would earn
Eerriy 81 a share on it's common stock
his year as against s1.22 last year,
and publication of statistics showing
that car loadings in the first half of
october We're about 800 cars over
those of the corresponding period in
September and nearly 5000 above
October of last year. Other strong
spots in the rail group included Gulf
Mobile and Northern; Missouri Pacific
preferred. Norfolk and Western, the
Wabash issues, and Western Pacific
all up point or more.
American Can Gains.
American Can again led the pivotal
issues by moving up points to
1901 United States Steel and Bald

closing above 101.
Pipe shares featured the speciality
list. Iron Products jumped ) points to
%. and then eased slightly, while United
states Cast Iron Pipe and Universal
Pipe and Radiator preferred each

in the early dealings.
General Electric Hits 80.
General Electric touched $50, closing

cline of Is points on October, but

power. We formed the Party for
the special purpose of overthrowing
the bourgeoisie and placing the
power in the hands of the workers.
About two weeks ago the discus
sion took such turn that seine of
us said: "The resolution passed at
the Tenth Party Congress, prohibit
ing the formation Of fractions, must
be cancelled. Unless this is done,
no workers democracy will be able
to accomplish anything" There are
some less experienced and less dip
lomatic comrades who are still say
ing this. Thus, for instance, today's
Pravda publishes an article by Com
made Krylenko, attorney for the re-
public. So far as l am aware, Com
rade Krylenko does not belong to
the fraction of democratic central
ISM" but speaks solely as a jurist,
from the viewpoint of legality. and
says: IF you do not allow freedom
of fighting from a definite platform,
then the whole workers democracy
is abolished"
What IL a Fraction?

Of what a fraction or group is. If
you do not want fractions, we shall
Of course agree, as demanded by

gress, merely proclamation upon

that we are surrounded by enemies
on all sides, and that we must not
allow the formation of groups.
Two weeks ago the question was
raised as to whether we could cancel
the resolution passed by the Tenth
Party Congress, that is, Comrade
Lenin's resolution. Then we plung-
ed into the fight. When these com
rades saw that it would be so easy
to annul the resolution Of the Party
Congress, that altho Comrade Lenin
is i'll and unable to take part in the
fight himself, he has schooled a
number of other people during the
course of thirty years, and these
know how to defend his cause when
he himself is chained to his bed zap
plause), then they retired to the
positions which they had ready, and
put the question as follows: It is
possible to manage without frac-
tons, but allow US groupings.
To this we replied that we were
very viii aware that these group
ings were nothing more nor less
than the same fractions.
Why hide behind pseudonyms?
1t is better to speak candidly on
the matter, as Comrade KrylenkO
does.

lectuals, but strong dislike for pro-
letarian members of their own or
ganization who propagate the class
struggle. They act in the capacity
of provocateurs, by denouncing the
Party in its relations to outside or
CARNATIONS, and in other ways. They
repudiate party discipline, and hold
to their rights" to write and say
whatever they please, without re-
sponsibility to any organization.
They published a very demoralizing
article in the coal strike, parroting
the cheap arguments of the capital
list press and discouraging the strik-
ers, thereby proving that they had
not the most elementary knowledge
Of the class struggle and how
Communist should act. The Bureau
acted according to its Communist
duty when it took vigorous action
against these and other things,
which are nothing less than the
manifestations of opportunism.
Good Comrades Misled.
1t is to be regretted that a few
good pro.etarian comrades have
been under the influence of Cvetkov
and Kutuzovich, to such an extent
that they have defended these un-
Communist actions Of theirs and
have written in the "Novi Swijet"
against the Bureau. Party mem
bers cannot write for non-party
publications, except under the di-
rections of Party committees; when
non-Party papers are attacking the
Party, it is not permissible that
Party members should assist in any
manner; but TO go into such a hos
tile paper to air grievances Of the
Party, is an act which the Party
itself cannot allow to continue for
one moment. The C. E. C. calls
upon every member Of the Workers
Party to cease writing for, or sup
porting in any way, the "Novi
Swiit."
The Party is not opposed to Gin
tellectuals" in the movement nor is
1t opposed to cultural activity. True
inteliectuals who come to the move
ment to serve it, and not attempt
to rule IL, are to be welcomed. But
the rank and file proletarian COM
rades must not allow themselves to
be terrcrized into the belief that

but it seems to me that his pro-
fession is leading him astray; he
is anxious to have a neatly rounded
juIidicial formulation of what
fraction is, what group is. and
what a workers democracy is. In
stead of taking life as it is, he is
looking for some Code" and
stumbles over it. But we are conf
dent of being able to come to an
agreement with such comrades as
Comrade Krylenko. We believe that
he will comprehend that tho it is
difficult to draw up code Of Grim
NAL law under the conditions impos-
ed by the new economic policy, the
working out of a code on groups
only requires the good viii of a
revolutionist who really understands
the interests Of the revolution, and
does not put the question sophisti-
cally, asking: "Can l, for instance,
join Comrade Preobrazengky?" He
receives the reply: "Yes, you can"
Can / speak in the same nu-
cleus ?"-"Yes. Can one speak in
five nuclei ?"-"You can do that
too. Then it seems to me that
this is the solution of the riddle, and
that you viii have to admit freedom
Of fraction"
Speak Candidly.
In my opinion, such viewpoint
is unworthy of a revolutionist, No
one asks that anyone should not
join others, or not take part in the
nuclei. No, join the nuclei if you
please, but do not forget that we are
the sole legal Party in this country,

Since that time both sides have

translations of articles, all of which
have been carefully taken into con-

all elements agreed that Cvetkov

clares that the fight of the Bureau
against these former editors and
against their influence was and is
a fight for a Communist Party and
fight for a Communist theology

titled by the statements published
