ARTICLE TWO

(b) Factory Nucleus Newspapers.
NUCLEUS newspapers make On in
1 ' dividual appeal to the workers of
a special enterprise. Therefore, they
make a stronger impression than the
dailies, which in the first instance are
dearer and which, moreover, approach
the workers as a whole. The circula-
ton of factory nucleus newspapers
creates the basis for the mass circu-
lation of the Communist daily press.
The shortcomings which were hith-
erto noticeable in connection with the
publication of nucleus newspaper,
are as follows:
(a) Only some of the factory nuclei
publish nucleus newspapers.
(b) The publication of such papers
is not regular.
(c) In most cases, there is not enuf
life in nucleus newspapers. They fail
to connect factory questions with the
general political questions. They do
not give enuf illustrations. Their
technical makeup is frequently uninr
teresting.
I'D Many nuclei in enterprises
where we are in a majority do not
publish nucleus newspapers, as they
are of the opinion that this is presum-
ably not necessary. In such cases, it
is. generally the Communist factory
councils which endeavor to prevent
the publication of nucleus newspapers.
international Press Day should be
used for the encouragement of the
publication and development of fac
tory nucleus newspapers. The follow
ing measures will be necessary:
/. Factory nucleus newspapers
should be published for all big and
medium sized enterprises. Where
ever no nuclei exists, the leading organ
should instruct factory or street nuclei
to collect suitable material and to
make up factory newspaper for the
respective enterprise to be sold out
side the latter.
2. The leading organs of the party
control factory nuclei and ascertain
the reasons for the non-publication Of
factory nucleus newspapers, or find
out why they are not published. Agit-
prop departments attached to the
leading party organs are under the
obligation to support the comrades in
connection with making up nucleus
newspapers. In big enterprises, where
we are as yet weak, the upper leading
organs of the party should also pro-
vide financial support to make the
regular publication of a nucleus news
paper possible.
3. In order to improve the contents
OF nucleus newspapers, the agitprop
departments should give the agltprop
organizers Of the nuclei definite polit-
ical instructions and should also draw
their attention to drawings, carica-
lures, etc, contained in some pc
riodicals, which could be easily re.
drawn for nucleus newspapers. The
agitprop departments OF the upper

BY EARL 4. BRowDER.

The second meeting of the class in
Capital, which meets Monday night
at 10 So. Lincoln St., will discuss the
questions printed in The DAILY
WORKER last Monday, and the pa
pers turned in by the students on
these questions.
Following are the answers to last
weeks questions Capital, Vol. T.
pages 41-4S):
/. "The wealth of those societies
in which the capitalist mode of pro.
duction prevails, presents itself as
AN immense accumulation of commo-
dities', it's unit being single commo-
dity."
2. A commodity is an object that
satisfies some human want, which is
produced for the. purpose of exchange,
and not for the consumption of the
producer.
3. The two fundamental factors of
commodity are use-value and value;
the former being the substance of all
wealth, whatever may be its social
form and as varied in nature as there
are kinds of commodities; the latter
being the common unsubstantial re-
aIity in each commodity, a congela-
ton Of homogeneous labor power, of
labor power expended without regard
to the mode of its expenditure.
= 4. Use-value is the particular qua
lily contained in each separate COM
modify to satisfy particular want;
exchange value is the form in which
the value (the quantity of homogenu-
Gus labor power embodied) of a COM
modify is expressed.
5. Commodities of such different
qualities as corn and iron may be
placed in relation of equality "a GER
tain amount of one equalling a GER
tain amount of the other) by estab-
fishing the measures of each (bushels
and hundredweights) of each which
contain an equal amount of the COM
mon something" which is value.
g. Use-value plays no part whatever
in exchange, except that a commo-
dity must have use-value of some
sort; if it is useless then so is the
labor contained in it; but the use
value plays no part in determining
the relations of exchange.
u. The only common property of all
commodities is that all are products

INTERNATIONAL
LABOR DEFENSE
BACKS STRIKERS
Backs Hillcrest Silk Mill
Workers

WEST NEW YORK, Nov. 22.-The
International Labor Defense has i'm
mediately come to the aid of the Hill
crest Silk Mill strikers who were ar
rested for peacefully strolling up and
down before the mill at half past four
in the morning. The policeman in
sisted that this was no time to pick
ct altho he knew that the scabs were
being brot in at that time. When the
strikers insisted on walking two of
them were arrested and fined by the
police magistrate for "disorderly con-
duct" The court expressed the opin-
ion that the strikers were not al.
lowed to induce others to leave en-
ployment or to tell others Of the
strike.
Arrest Picket.
On Wednesday Albert Weisbord or
ganizer for the strikers and secretary
of the Central Bureau of the United
Front Committees of Textile Work
ers was also arrested for "disorderly
conduct" His disorder consisted in
that he went up to a worker at a very
considerable distance from the mill
and asked her if she was working
in that mill which was on strike. At
this a policeman came along and US
ing his hands freely made Weisbord
move on and then arrested him for
disorderly conduct.
At the hearing before the night
magistrate of the police court, Weis-
bord pointed out that the police had
threatened to put several strikers in
the hospital, that they had actually
seized several strikers and frisked
them, feeling them all over ostensibly
for revolvers or arms but as Weis-
bord pointed out it may very well
be that they were trying to plant
such revolvers on the strikers. The
strikers are all residents of the town
for many years and are most of them
married and for the first time on
strike. This handling by the police
has Infatuated them as they have
never been accustomed to such treat
ment before The answer of the court
to all of these charges was the out
rageous statement that the police
have a right to search without war
rant anyone whom they may fancy
has arms at any time. Also the strik-
ers have no right to approach any
one. ask them if they work in the
mill, no matter how politely the ques-
ton may be put. Weisbord was fined
ten dollars.
/. L. D. Backs Strikers.
The international Labor Defense
has furnished money for the fines and
means to push these cases to the linn
it. The case of the HilIcrest Silk
Mill strikers is the fight of thousands
of weavers of Hudson county, New
Jersey, Astoria Long Island, New
York City and Brooklyn and must
not be lost.
A big dance, mass meetings and
other means of raising funds and pub
Lefty for the strikers are being plan
ned by the United Front Committee
of Textile Workers of Hudson coun-
ty with headquarters at 1893 Broad
way, Union City, New Jersey.

getting the shop and street nuclei to
function.
1t must be emphasized that all ofic-
ers in the shop and street nuclei and
the section committees are only tenn
porary. These were either appointed
or elected at the section meeting to
start the functioning of the newly
organized units. Regular elections
will be held later in the nuclei for
nuclei officers and also to elect dele
gates to a section conference which
will elect a permanent section com
mittee.
Comrades Being Transferred to
Shop Nuclei.
Further, it will be necessary to
transfer many active comrades who
are not in shop nuclei, to shop nuclei
organizations to aid in their work. No
comrade is permanently in a shop
nucleus but is subject to transfer at
any time. There are many potential
shop nuclei to which comrades will
be attached. During the period Of the
section reorganization meetings, such
transfers were not made; all COM
rades were placed in party units as
they belonged according to the regis
tration. With all section meetings
over, transfers can now be made with
the best possibilities for good results.
goo Comrades in Shop and
Street Nuclei.
Nearly 900 comrades have regis
tered thus far in Chicago or approx
mately so per cent of the. member
ship. Additional registration cards
are coming in daily and the percent
age Of those who are coming into the
reorganized party will be materially
increased. All the nuclei are on the
job reaching the comrades who failed
to register at the section meetings.
The party now has the task of de-
veloping the street and shop nuclei in
existence, TO organize live sections,
subsection and nuclei executive COM
mittees and to draw in the entire
membership into work in the shops
and factories. A better organizational
base for work has been laid. 1t has
been demonstrated, even to the most
skeptical. that the membership would
respond to the reorganization. Arti-
cles reviewing the complete reorgan-
ization of the party in Chicago, the
trade union composition, character of
the nuclei, etc, will be written.

Preserved Charter

The Charter oak is a tree famous
in American history. 1t stood in Hart
ford, Conn, and derived its name from
the following circumstance In 1887, Sir
Edmund Andres, the royal governor,
appeared at Hartford and demanded
the charter of the colony in the name
of James II of England. While the as
sembly, in session at Hartford, was
considering the governors request, the
lights were suddenly extinguished |;
and, In the darkness and confusion
that ensued, the charter was snatched
from the table by a patriot, Capt. VIII
liam Wadsworth, and secreted in the
hollow of an oak tree. This tree,
which was ever after known as the
Charter oak, was carefully preserved
until 1856, when II was destroyed In q
violent storm. The charter was re
newed when Willism aud Mary az

job came in 1923 when at the de-

department adjutant, which Office he
