not only the organs Of struggle Of the
workers, but also the most effective
instruments with which to organize
the unions That is the starting point
for party shop nuclei In the morgan
lied industries. While the nuclei them
selves are confined to Communists, to
party members, their task will be to
initiate the formation OF shop commit
tees which take in all the workers.
During the sporadic, isolated strikes
Of the workers in the great car shops
of Pullman and Hegewisch, Illinois,
last summer the lack of leadership
became particularly apparent as it
does in all such cases. The party took
whatever actions 1t could under the
circumstances az an outside force COM
ing in to lend helping hand, and
actually succeeded in stiffening the
morale OF the strikers. Yet a party
shop nucleus In each instance would
inevitably have stepped to the fore.
1t would have gained the leadership
Of the strike because of its being an
organized group and part Of the strike
itself. It would give organized direc-
ton to the strike and If It would &C
complish no mere in this first attempt,
for all future purposes, the shop nu-
cleus would map out the strategy of
the struggles. It would make an es-
innate OF the relative strength Of the
contending forces, attempt to choose
the most opportune moment for an
offensive, propose the measures need
ed for united action by the workers
always bearing in mind the object
Of steadily gaining positions of more
power to the workers and prepare for
the actual organization Of the work
ers. In Gary, Indiana, where one
party shop nucleus has recently been
organized in one of the large mills,
it was demonstrated that the atten-
ton of the comrades naturally and
Immediately focused on the problems
Of the shop. At their first meeting
they took action to carry out certain
measures in regards to a couple Of
definite issues pending before the
workers in the shop.
OF course, while the party is just
taking the FIRST steps toward the
formation of shop nuclei some of the
points here mentioned may seem a
little novel. Yet, as the shop nuclei
are being established. the basis is be-
ing laid for contact with the large
masses of workers thru their strug.
giles and for the united proIetarian
front for the conquest Of power.

ers for the struggle for political pow
er.
Our party must win over the large
masses Of workers for the revolution.
The shop nuclei will easily gain the
confidence of the workers because
they are part of their ranks and the
most active part, speaking their Ian
guage and proposing practical mea-
sures for relief of their misery. Thru
the shop nuclei the Communist units
become organically connected with
the working masses at the place of
production. Thru the shop nuclei the
connections win be established which
builds the united front Of the work
ers from the bottom. They become a
counter balance against the treacher-
ous and strikebreaking activities Of
the trade union fakers-the propon-
ents Of class collaboration. Being the
basic political units Of the party, they
will establish the proper connection
between its industrial and political ac-
tivities and give political character to
the struggles in the shops and from
the unions by convincing the workers
Of the need Of the conquest Of power.
Altho the power Of the trade unions
controlled by the reactionary leaders.
Is steadily declining, the workers IN
the unorganized industries are worse
or And today many Of the great has
ic, raw material and manufacturing
Industries are almost entirely unor-
ganized. The workers are left helm
lessly in the grip of the most ruthless
capitalist exploitation. Their sporadic.
unplanned and isolated strikes are
either mercilessly crushed or slowly
starved to death. Their latent forces
IS factor in the struggle for work
ing class power is dormant The prob
lem facing the Workers Party in these
Industries, as the militant champion
Of the working class interests, is that
|of organizing these actions, these
strikes and organize the workers in
to shop committees and into Industrial
unions. To believe that the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor with its pres
emit methods win organize these indus
tries would be an idle Illusion. That
task remains to be done by the mill
tants.

HOW TO INVEST
YOUR MONEY
BY BAYARD DOMfNICK.
President Of New York Better
Business Bureau.
Vital Points About Bonds

Discount VS.. Premium Bonds
Bonds selling in the market below
par G00ss) are said to be selling at a
discount and those selling above par
at a premium. Other things benz &
equal, bonds OF high interest rate will
sell for more than those Of low inter-
est rate. However. 1t is almost an
inyariable rule that a bond at ma
turity will be repaid at 100, no matter
whether the market cost to the in
vestor was 80 or 1l0. Thus, bonds
bought at a discount should appre-
ciate in value as maturity approaches
and those bought at premium
should depreciate.
Callable Before Maturity-Many
bonds, particularly those of high in
terest rates, and some preferred
stocks, are subject to redemption by
the company upon repayment at a
given price, usually a few points
above par. In other words. the COM
pany may call in a redeemable bond
or preferred stock. Investors ordina-
rily look to the redemption clause be-
fore paying too dearly for such Sc
curities.
