Commercial Bulletin, owned by Courtenay Guild,
a name suggestive of the Mayfower opened fire on
Koussevitsky, suggesting that he was an agent of
Trotsky
Koussevitsky, however, soon routed any sus
picion that his artistic and musical soul had any
love for the Soviet government Did he not call one
million dollars in American money his own in the
glorious days of the car, when Leningrad was
known ST. Petersburg? And did he not lose
that cold million when the Bolsheviks took over the
country in the name of the workers and peasants?
This confession established Koussevitsky i'm
mediately in the affections of the wrinkled aris-
tocracy of the Back Bay and the newspapers opened
fire on Leningrad.
The Boston Herald, owned by the United Shoe
Machinery company, exonerated Koussevitsky, but
deplored that the war Leningrad by the sup
porters of the Boston symphony orchestra was
rather fruitess, as Leningrad was fact and st.
Petersburg and Petrograd we're not, any more than
the car and his regime. The worthy Herald, in
true Puritan style, regretted this, but hoped for
better days.
The venerable Transcript dealt historically with
Leningrad and after cursing Lenin, in true New
England fashion, suggested that out of considera-
ton for the million dollar feelings of Koussevitsly,
those responsible for drawing up the program
should leave Leningrad out. The Transcript winds
up with "In the meantime it is open to all of us
to look forward with sigh to the time when Rus
STA shall return to her senses and to a respect
for the historical proprieties . :"
The Transcript is hopeful, even more so than
Boris Savinkoff who for years fed the fires of the
transcripts optimism, only to finally surrender,
broken and hopeless. Soviet Russia is so strong
today after the worst the murderous capitalists
could do, that every important government in the
world has recognized or is about to recognize the
Workers Republic except that of the United
States
The million dollar soul of the symphony con-
ductor must make the best of the unavoidable.

A Stupid FIunkey

Why the capitalists retain some of their hire
lngs whose stupidity is painful that it becomes
the butt of ridicue is somewhat of puzzle. OF
course they hang to Coolidge, but "Silent Cal"
at least knows enuf to keep his mouth shut except
for an occasional speech the Bible which is a safe
field to cover. The less one knows about anything
in particular the more he is sure to know about
religion.
There are capitalist funkies who are abysmally
ignorant, much so that they insist on everybody
knowing it. One is T. " OConnor, formerly Off
cial head of the International Longshoremen's I'm
ion and still the real boss of that organization.
OConnor is now chairman of the United States
shipping board and a lusty ballyhooer for Cool
idge.
While speaking in Buffalo recently OConnor
made the astounding statement that Soviet Rus
STA had sent big Of money into the United
States via Mexico in order to bring about the cleo
ton of LaFollette. This yarn was so fantastic
that even the considerable moron population was
not deceived by it. They had more respect for the
political judgment of the Soviet leaders than to
think they would put their money behind a CAPT
talist politician like LaFolette.
O'Connor was supoenaed by the Borah investi-
eating committee in Washington to prove his as
sertion. He blandy admitted that he did not have
the slightest grounds for making such statement
except that he believed it himself. Since William
j. Burns was booted out Of the department of JUS
tice, 7. V. O'Connor stands head and shoulders
among his co-workers in the capitalist government
as the biggest ass in the paddock. He is also one

Getting Party Members Into Unions.

that very large percentage of our
Party members who are working in
organized trades are not yet affiliated
to their respective unions, their value
in the Party and their efficiency in
the class struggle is. thereby greatly
decreased, The Party will make it
its aim to enroll the entire Party
membership, which is eligible, in the
trade unions. There can be no slack
ness or good-natured federation on
this point. The comrades whom the
registration discloses to be uncon-
nected with trade unions must be
called together and thoroly informed
as to the Party's role and task and
program in the trade unions and steps
must be taken to enroll them in the
unions without delay. In shops and

Nou. 9TH Special Issues

The DAILY WORKER plans to issue two spe-
cal editions this year in honor of the seventh an
niversary of the Russian Revolution, the greatest
event in all human history
When the workers of Russia struck the shackles
of czardom and capitalist rule off their limbs in
November, 1917, the most sanguine did not
dream that seven years afterwards would see the
Soviet Republic, firmly established, rapidly forging
ahead on the road to prosperity for its producers
and in position to make the mighty capitalist
nations of the world recognize her power
Yet such is the case. Today Soviet Russia is a
power to be reckoned with. Her influence turnout
the world is increasing and the toiling masses of
mankind are looking more and more to the Work
ers Republic of Russia for inspiration and help in
their struggle to free themselves from the yoke of
wage slavery.
The best writer's in the international Communist
movement will contribute to the special anniver
sary Soviet numbers of The DAILY WORKER.
Our readers should now send in their orders for
extra bundles

lied, the industrial registration will
provide basis for the organization
Of local unions in many fields. The
great and necessary slogans Organ
ize the Unorganized," will get real
significance when the Communists
themselves take the lead all along
the line in forming new unions. If
the Communists take the initiative in
actually forming labor unions, it can
be safely calculated that they will sue
coed in permeating them with their
spirit and doctrines and in directing
their activities into the channels OF
the militant class struggle.
From the matters lightly touched on
above it becomes clear that the in.
dustrial registration Of the Party
members is of the greatest value to
the Party and provides the material
for the beginning of some Of the most
pressing and necessary tasks of the
Party. Local and district organizers
must therefore persist in their efforts
to get 100 per cent registration, to
utilize the material of the registra-
ton to the utmost and to take spe-
cial care, along the line of directions
already sent to them, for the safe.
guarding of the Party membership in
the registration.

BY JAMES P. CANNON, Assistant
Executive Secretary, Workers Party.
THE important task of registering
1 the entire party membership is
now nearly complete and the great
majority OF the party braches have
sent in their returns. A large number
Of branches however are still behind
in their duty, and this is causing some
difficulty. The complete utilization of
the registration requires that the
whole party be registered and to this
end it is first duty of every party
branch to see that its registration is
completed and sent in the National
District and Local offices without delay
There can be no let-up in the cam
paign until every single branch in the
party has given an account of itself

ton, trade union affiliations, etc. This
information is prerequisite to the
successful carrying out Of a number
of necessary activities.
How to Use the Industrial
Registration.
The local and district offices should
utilize the registration material to the
fullest extent without delay for the
carrying out of three cardinal tasks.
1. Classify the registration cards
first of all according to industries and
shops. Wherever the information dis
closes that number of party com.
rades are working in the same shop
or factory they should be called to-
gether and the preliminary steps TAX
en- to organize them into a shop nu-
cleus which is to become basic unit
Of the party. The detailed organiza-
tional steps for the foundation of shop
nuclei, which will make allowances for
the complicated problem of the exist
ence Of so many language declarations
in the party, is now being worked by
the c. =. c. and will finally be adopt,
ed in the near future. In the mean
time the local and district organizers
should take the first steps of calling
the comrades together and effecting a
preliminary shop nucleus organization
wherever possible.
DO not lose sight of the fundamental
importance of this activity. The 9th
Congress of the Communist Interna-
tional makes it mandatory upon all
the parties of the International to
completely reorganize themselves on
the basis OF shop unclei and declares
that there is no such thing as a
genuine Communist Party which has
any other form Of organization. There.
fore, let us get to work at this task
without delay. The information con.
tanned in the party registration affords
the basis for a Beginning.
Communist Trade Union Fractions.
2. A second most important work
which will be greatly facilitated by
utilization of the registration is the or
ganization OF Communist nuclei in the
various trade unions to which party
members are afiiliated. In order to
accomplish this IL is necessary to re.
arrange the registration cards accord
