ECLIPSE STOPS WORK

In common with the rest of this
section of this country the works
were entirely disrupted by the
eclipse on Saturday morning. Many
of the factory workers gathered on
the roof and the rest gathered at
the windows holding Photographic
negatives and smoked glasses Of
various sorts, while some just threw
their heads back and squinted with
their naked eye and took a chance
on the much heralded eclipse blind
ness.
In the Main Office the force
gathered in the Conference Room
upstairs where a very clear view
was obtained. Hiram Williams en-
deavored to make it visible to all

ing one whole pane Of glass but his
matches gave out before he accom-
plished the desired results.

Snags Min Another

On Monday evening the Goth tho
Lambertville Snags took a fast game
from the Carroll A. C. of Trenton
by 23-20 score, on the Jefferson
school floor, in Trenton.
This squares for 22-1s defeat
which the Trenton boys hung on
the local organization on their owr
floor two weeks ago. The Snags took
the lead in the initial period and
kept it by strong aggressive basket
ball until the whistle. In the second
period the Trenton boys got back on
their feet and rolled up a consider
able lead but in the last five min
utes of play the Snags were able
to show spirit enough to turn this
into three point lead.
The bulk of the scoring was done
by Colonel" Kelly and "Pay" Stout
who had four and three field tallies
respectively. The individual star for
the opponents was Silvers.

ANE thing is certain, the Workers
~ Party must be a Party of shop
nuclei With that feeling prevailing,
the tasks before the Party are the
steps to be taken in that direction.
Even the meager experiences of the
Workers Party give some idea as to
better ways and means for shop nuclei
reorganization. Under pressure of the
Party, some Party units have or
ganized shop nuclei; other places on
their own Initiative have proceeded to
organize.
1t would be well for purposes of ed
ucation and encouragement if various
district organizers would report some
of the results in their districts.
300 Members In Shop Nuclei.
TN District No. 8 start has been
made. There are some "a shop and
street nuclei in existence, as follows:
Chicago, Z, composed of clothing, rail-
road, machine shop, printing. Gary,
Ind, 2, steel mill and a street nu-
cleus. Pullman, H., 4, in steel mill
and automobile factories. Hammond,
Ind, steel nucleu. South Bend, Ind,
automobile. Dowell, zeigler, Waller,
West Frankfort, are mine nuclei
There are approximately 800 Party
members organized In these nuclei
as follows: Chicago, so; Gary, so;
Pullman, &c: West Frankfort, 40;
Dowell, 8; Hammond. Is; Waller, 10;
zeigler. rs. This is about 10 per cent
of Party membership in this district
THESE figures in themselves do not
L mean so much, but in their posi-
bilities, they are good deal. The
nuclei are organized in the large and
basic industries, coal, mining, railroad,
etc.
Gary, Ind, and zeigIer, ILL.,, Set Pace.
Gary, Indiana is completely organ
lied on a shop nucleus basis. There
are two nuclei, one a shop nucleus and

SHOP NUCLEI EXPERIENCES B. Martin zs:,.

the shop nucleus basis is Gary, a
main stronghold of the steel trust.
All the language branches there are
only auxiliaries to the Party and have
no special Party powers.
PULLMAN has over SO per cent of
i its members in shop nuclei and
there is no reason why Pullman
should not be altogether organized
into shop and street nuclei in the next
thirty or forty days. Only unneces-
sary objections which need not be
taken up here can prevent that.
In Zeigler the 70 members in the
shop nuclei, one of 65 and one of 10,
are made up of the former language
and English branches with the excep-
ton of few language members who,
it is reported, have refused thus far
to enter the nuclei. Persuasion and
education, not extreme measures at
this time, will solve such difficulties.
TN Chicago the best functioning nu-
4 cleus is the nucleus in the print
shop, not because it is in the DAILY
WORKER shop, but because the mem
bers are thoroly alive to the possibili-
ties of nuclei organization. do not
wish to go into detail here on expe-
riences of the various shop nuclei, but
only to point out few generally i'm
portant facts which must be noted.
Greater Encouragement from
declarations Needed.
First, as to the question of reorgan-
ization itself. There is the problem
of getting the language declarations to
encourage reorganization to a greater
extent than they have. In the writer's
view, laxity of some comrades in get
ting into the nuclei, where they have
been organized, is not due to their
own unwillingness, but because they
felt that their bureaus were not any
too anxious to get them into nuclei.
Leading comrades in Zeigler, for in
stance, report this, in their opinion,
as one of the reasons why the hand
full of comrades yet remain outside
the nuclei.

L any intention of discussing it from
that angle now, that the fractional sit

The Mission of Count Skrzynski

in hand with armed uprising OF the
workers and peasants masses in Po-
land"
THIS is the policy of the Communist
i Party of Poland in regard to ma
tional minorities.
On the other hand, the Polish bour-
geoisie tries by all means to suppress
any sign of liberation movement in
non-PoIish territories. White terror
reigns supreme. The assimilation pol
icy is being pushed with whole force.
The "borderlands" are being colonized
by the hangmen of the Polish bour-
geoisie.
Thousands of the best fighters for
workers and peasants interests are
now in Polish prisons.
Count Skrzynski who has come here
to fill up the money bag of Polish
bourgeoisie will not tell of those
things. He even does not mention the
fact that at present millions of work
ers and peasants in Western Ukraine
are now in the clutches of famine as
a result of bad crops and ruinious tax
alton policy. The workers and peas
ants of Soviet Ukraine have sent
about 30 carloads Of wheat to the
famine stricken; here in America the
Ukrainnian workers are collecting
funds for that purpose. But the Pol
ish bourgeoisie has practically done
nothing. The Polish government has
put aside a small sum Of money in or
der to help" the famine stricken pop
ulation-and the help goes to the big
landowners and rich peasants that
they might buy some corn for sowing
instead of helping the poor peasants
to save their lives.
There is no doubt that Count Skrzy-
nski, will now attain his purpose: he
will gain support of the rich American
Jews for the new Polish-Jewish bour-
geoisie agreement in Poland and he
will carry back with him new millions
Of dollars from American bankers. But :
the American workers should let
Count Skrzynski and all his clique
here, and in Poland, know what they
think Of the bourgeois Poland--the
exploiter and oppressor Of the Polish,
Ukrainian, White Russian, Lithuanian,
German and Jewish working masses.
