Use 1t On The Boss.

To the DAILY WORKER read
your encouraging article asking work
ers to write something of their ex-
perience in the shop, mine, mill, etc.
So thought and asked myself, should
l or should / not write Of the con-
dition in the shop l worked? No, was
my answer. shall not write, because
my vocabulary is too poor to express
half as much as feel about the boss
and foreman and all the parasites
sucking the blood Of the workers. No,
said l, until will be able to act, fight,
write and call the masses to fight
against the capitalist class. said
no until bought paper which claims
to be friend of the poor, and also
fights" for them. Then it made my
blood boil.
An article like that in paper where
Mr.. LaFollette will be the Moses to
free the American workers from mis-
cry and our present deplorable sys-
tenn. No! Impossiblel l looked again
and again whether bought the kind
of paper l was looking for. Yes, it
was the same. But how in the world
did Mr. Hillquit feel when he read
that article. How could our great
Savior" Mr.. Berger sit N congress
and read an article in his paper where
it says, "There is not work-and there
cannot be work, plenty of work-for
all who are willing to work-under the
wage and profit system Of industry"
And how could Mr.. zigman, Kauf-
man, Pearlstein, read in their paper
Wages will buy the plain 'necessaries
Of life.' But wages will not buy good
food and plenty Of it; good clothing
and plenty of it; good homes, well To-
Gated, well furnished, and plenty of
them"
And how in the world could Mr..
Hillquit, Berger, London, Abe Calm
and all the rest Of their clique read
"the capitalist class legalizes and
holds on to this system thru the con-
troll Of the government; and the con-
troll of the government is seized and
held by the capitalist class by means

what happens?
The National Office issues its pro-
gram and instructions to the secre-
taries Of the Shop Nuclei. The Shop
Nucleus is the Party unit consisting
of the comrades working in the same
shop, factory, or mill. Within "A hours
after receipt of instructions from the
N. o., the Shop Nucleus members can
hold a meeting and lay out their
work. The nucleus members concern
themselves mainly with propaganda
ing the other workers in the shop.
Shop Nucleus Gets Quick Action.
The comrades know their fellow
workers, somewhat at any rate. They
have a knowledge of the workers
needs, all Of them are directly and
constantly up against the same prob
lem, whether it be the boss or shop
conditions, strikes. There is basis
of approach by the comrades to the

approach is not so difficult.
So, first, the Party nucleus can get
together almost Immediately. They
can lay out program of work in the
shop; how to start discussion on top

to the shop-mates, appeal for funds.
Does any comrade doubt how much
more successful our October 26-No-
vember literature distribution
week, successful as it was, would be
if systematically distributed directly
on the job? AS for propaganda meet
ings, these vital shop discussions and
political discussions are worth a
dozen neighborhood meetings, altho
these could still and will take place,
but let US hope in better fashion.
Even from a standpoint Of collect
ing money from our own comrades,
did you ever stop to think how much
easier comrade would give up some
money when he has just got paid of
and has it? A few days later, it's
spent for various things-slim chance
to get it from him then. One machine
shop nucleus in Chicago illustrates
that by regular weekly donation to
the Party collected on the job. An
accepted duty.

shops, mills and factories composed
also Of men and women who are un-
employed. Clearly it is up to them"
Now, workers read it again and
again; read it to the people who be-
lieve in the doctrine of that paper;
read what it further states: Without
personal hatreds, without any malice
whatever, the socialists fraternally
seek peace, justice, plenty, life, full
glad life for all. We know that mod
ern machinery, modern tools, modern
Knowledge. modern methods and
means of production make it prac-
ticable for those who are willing to
work to produce abundantly for all
who are willing to work; and that
thus want and fear of want can be re-
moved from the lives of all who are
willing to work-in a wholesomely
reconstructed socialized society"
Who made all those statements?
Whom do they represent? Do they
mean it? Do they actually fight for
it? Hal Ha. No! will leave it to
the readers, to all of those who be-
lieved and still do believe in their
honesty to find out for themselves
how corrupted and hypocritical are
the statements made by people who in
reality do not believe a word they
say. How many proposals for the
amalgamation Of the unions were brot
to conventions where they used all
means, directly or indirectly to de-
feat them; for they did not succeed in
defeating them completely. How
many workers and farmers will they
ask and influence to vote for labor
faker and an old cheap republican
politician, Mr.. LaFollette, who is
against the labor party, against chang
ing the capitalist system to a work
ers' and farmers government?
How many workers were starving
from hunger and were put in prisons
and killed under the social democratic
regime of Germany?
How many workers will be con-
demned to work ten and twelve hours
a day and lower wages in Germany
and all other capitalist countries if
the Dawes plan with the help of the
social democrats all over the world
will be put into effect?

shop nucleus in this case would be

every union comrade is active. Com

They might, but they don't. The rea-
son for that is because the work isn't
permanently organized like that Of
the shop nucleus, the basic Party unit,
is. OF course, shop work is difficult,
in many ways, but less difficult and
no more dangerous than is a terri
torial branch. Communist work
always has its dangers. That phase
Of it has no bearing here except inso-

The fall of the proudest city of the

away every material thing. But ideas
will not drown nor will God sink. The
Hebrew had come to know a God diff
fering from the Deities of every other
people in His demand for righteous
ness instead of ritual. And dimly
enough Jehovah had grown from a
tribal God entiely local in His adj
ministration to the supreme place
among the Gods of earth and in the
visioning of Isaiah, Amos, Hosea and
jeremiah He was the Ruler of all the
nations tho still the God of the Jew.
jeremiah had gone farther than this
for his whole theme during the dark
days of the Capital had been the shift
of religion from the nation to the
person, from place to spirit. Jehovah
was not dependent upon the Temple
nor tied in Jerusalem and things were
essential to his worship. Indeed the
Prophet swept away the sacrifice as a
requirement and nearly gave his life
for his daring. But if Gods real
