Be at international
Labor Defense Ball

NEW YORK CITY Oct. 4--lnterna-
tional Labor Defense, New York
section, announces a costume ball to
be held on Saturday, Oct. II, at the
Lyceum, seth Street and Third Ave,
New York City.
This Ball is the beginning Of ser"
les of activities to be conducted by the
l. L. D. in their campaign to help the
class-war prisoners and their families.
At the present time of blacklist re-
action, with the courts issuing injunc-
ton after injunction against the
workers and the police clubbing
strikers in the picket line, there is a
crying need for strongly centralized
fight for the civil rights of the work
ing-class. The l. l.. D. is trying to
fill this need, but it can do nothing
without the concerted support OF all
elements of labor behind it, Every
sympathizer must work to his utmost
to make this work effective.
The committee in charge of the
ball announces many novelties for
the affair Prizes will be given for
the best and most original costumes;
one of New York's finest orchestras
has been engaged to provide the
music; and there will be many sur
prises for those who attend. The Ball
promises to be one of the brightest
and most successful affairs of its
kind ever held in New York District.
Each worker should not only buy
ticket for himself, but should get
bunch to sell in his union or his
fraternal organization. For further
information, apply to the secretary
of the /. L. D., Rose Baron, Room 422,

Connecticut Takes
Initiative in S h op
Nuclei Organization

The active participation Of our
party members in the recent strike
of 400 workers in the Sidney Blumen-
thai Shelton Looms) plant has made
it possible for our comrades to or
ganize a strong shop nucleus there.
1t is interesting to note that prior
10 the organization of this shop
nucleus, the various party members
working in this factory who were
members in their different party
branches never considered our party
activities in the shop at their branch
meetings..
The shop nucleus was organized
after the Communist participation in
the strikes at this plant, which were
in force last January and June The
district executive committee is taking
steps to help the comrades function
in this nucleus. The employers in this
instance are bitter enemies of organ
lied labor, particularly militant or
ganized workers.
This is the first shop nucleus organ
lied in the Connecticut district. The
comrades in the shop nucleus have
won the confidence Of many workers,
as a result of their participation in
the struggle of the employees in the
Shelton textile plant, against the at
tempt of the bosses to force them
to run more looms.
