Beauty and BoIshevik'
Has Big Attendance

The great Ashland Auditorium
with its $500 seats was filled to over
flowing twice in one night last Thurs
day at the showing Of 1.-THE Beauty and
BolsheviE" under the joint auspices of
the DAILY WORKER and the Inter-
national Workers Aid. Altho adver-
tised as continuous show from to
II the crowd began arriving at $50
and by 7:30 every seat was taken.
Fully 1000 waited over two hours to
get into the hall and the last show
did not end until after midnight
The pictures were received with
greatest enthusiasm, a ripple of al
most continuous applause and Taught.
err accompanied them and at the high
spots they swelled into salvos of
cheers. A large and active group OF
RED Star Volunteers" we're on the
job tagging for the Michigan Defense,
and William F. Kruse and Moritz j.
Loeb made collection speeches.
Music was furnished by three work
ing class groups, the Young Workers
League, the South Slav Balalaika Or
chestra. This music was especially
fitting to the Russian proletarian films
and constituted one of the most en-
joyable features Of the evenings en-
tertainment.
The films will be shown in the Rus
sian, Slavic and Jewish sections of
the city in smaller theatres.

Leader, was turned into lecture
when Wolfson declined to appear de-
claring that the debate was given too
much publicity.
Shklar was introduced by the sec
rotary of the Workmen's Circle and in
few Introductory remarks stated
that the Workers Party is not afraid
of publicity, that the Communist fol-
lowing the teachings of Marx as stat
ed in the Communist manifesto do
not desire to conceal their position
and will state it to the workers.
Shklar expressed surprise that the
socialist party was afraid to state
their position on the political prob
lens embracing millions of prole-
tarians. Should we keep our posi-
ton secret from the workers when it
involves our attitude toward the pole
cies effecting millions of proletaris
ans?"
In his lecture Shklar pointed out
the bankruptcy of the socialist party.
when that party pretended to repre-
sent the. interests of workers, and
gave it's support to LaFollette who
does not stand for the abolition of
private property.
Workers Party Gains in Influence.
Shklar pointed out that Workers
Party received over four thousand
votes notwithstanding its first appear
ance on the Wisconsin ballot, while
the socialist party was losing not only
ideologically, but also in the support
of the masses.
The meeting decided in the future
to unite with the Workers Party in
arranging lectures.
The Workers Party is growing in
influence here. At the last meeting
Of the Federated Trades Council, the
delegate of the Workers Party dis
turbed the confidence of the socialist
party machine by a denunciation Of
Berger's machine and its allies of
the LaFollette camp.

Guides $50 Restaurant
Employees

NEW YORK, Feb. 10.-Shop Nucleus
No. /, food workers, at its first reg
ular meeting demonstrated how eff
fectively shop nucleus can function.
Already the workers in the restaurant
are alive to the9 fact that a Commun-
list group is actively concerning itself
with their affairs,
The result has been that the COM
rades Of the shop nucleus are now
in control Of the shop committee. In
the shop they, officially represent the
workers and fight for their interests.
At their first meeting they enrolled
two Of their fellow workers in the
party and they expect in a short time,
due to their activities in the shop, to
enroll many more.
The organizer stated they soon will
control the kitchen-the most i'm
portant Department. big restau-
rant. Efforts are being made by the
members OF the shop nucleus to draw
two Of the cooks into the party.
Effective Work.
The shop nucleus has worked so
effectively since its organization that
they have the confidence of all the
workers, $50 in number, that work in
the restaurant. This makes the men,
bers Of the shop nucleus an important
element in the union organization of
the food workers, because they can
depend upon their fellow workers in
the restaurant to support them in any
fight they may have to make in the
union.
On the Job All the Time.
The shop nucleus will meet regular
ly twice month and as often as con-
ditions will demand. In the shop where
the workers feel most the tyranny
of the boss, where the class struggle
is daily being fought and where Com.
munist propaganda and work can be
most effective in winning the workers
for the party, the. members of the shor
nucleus daily carry on Communist
work. Their work Immediately brought
results. 1Hs
The experiences so far of ShoT
Nucleus No. 1 is proof that when the
Workers (Communist) Party is organ
lied on the basis of shop nuclei, it will
become real mass party of the work
ers in industry. rejecting in its strug
giles the needs and interests of the
workers. sns

WOOLEN Mill
BOSSES LOCK
OUT TAILORS
Vic | a t e Contract and
Advertise for Scabs
Especial to Tho Daily workerl

(speoIat to The Daily WerkerI
PARKERSBURG, West Va, Feb. 10.
The National Wooden Mills, located
here and owned by local people locked
out its employees who are members OF
the Journeymen TaiIorg Union two
weeks ago and refused to take them
back except as individuals, which
means that this concern will no long
er recognize the union.
An amusing feature Of the situation
is that the owners of the mills, when
they started up business, forced their
employees to join the union. Since
then the union has developed a back
bone of its own and refuses to take
orders from it's former owners. Hence
the lockout
Can't Hire scabs.
While the mill owners had a con-
tract with the Tailors' Union, which
has several months to run, they simp-
ly shut their doors when they got
ready to. The members of the union,
about one hundred and sixty men and
women are firm in their determination
not to go back unless the union is
recognized and are receiving the sup
port of the railroad and other unions
here. The prospects for their victory
are bright as the owners of the mills
have not been able to fill their places
80 far, tho they have widely adver-
tised for help in other cities. The To-
cal papers are suppressing all news
about the lockout, which has created
much excitement here.
Secure Injunction.
The firm of Amber, McCluer and
Amber, attorneys for the National
Wooden Mills, entered a suit in
chancery asking for an injunction
against the local branch of the Tail
ors' Union, which would prohibit its
members from picketing the COM
pany's property.
The notorious Denny Sullivan of
Chicago never displayed more alac-
rity in acceding to the request of the
Windy City's scab garment operators
for an injunction than the Petersburg
court. The injunction was immedi-
ately issued and served on the off,
GERS, agents and members of the un-
ion. 1t does not even permit men,
Der of the union from going near the
National Wooden Mills.

gentlemen might have their mint
juleps at the right temperature.
Packing House is University.
After working on Alabama railroads,
Doty came to Chicago at the age of
twenty-one, in 1905, and worked in
Chicago packing houses as a steam
filter, ETC., until he was drafted into
the world war in 1918. He is now
working as a plumber in Chicago,
where he is well known and consider
ed a leader among the working peo-
pie Of the south side. He is especially
active in attempting to break down
the remaining barriers against the
admission of Negroes into trade
unions.
Doty soon developed into a power
full speaker and a skillful organizer.
He became a charter member of the
African Blood Brotherhood, which
sought to bring the black and white
workers into cooperation on the class
conscious basis and to win the free
dom Of the Negro workers from the
racial prosecutions which are such a
terrible handicap to the struggles Of
the colored workers.
Graduates a Communist.
From the first days that the Com
munist movement assumed form in the
United States, the young Negro leader
threw himself into it with all of his
heart and brain. When the Workers
(Communist) Party was organized he
became a member.
The peculiar legal requirements Of
the aldermanic elections of Chicago
do not permit the names Of political
parties to be announced as officially
nominated by any party. This is a
way of maintaining the pretense that
municipal elections are "non-par-
tisan." OF course, it is a blind to
cover the rank dictatorship-the cap
italist dictatorship of the city Of Chi
cago
Because of the hypocritical legal
rules, the Workers (Communist) Par
ty is not permitted to announce Com
rade Doty as its regularly nominated
party candidate. The party announces,
however, that Comrade Doty runs for
the office with the full approval and
hearty endorsement Of the Workers
(Communist) Party, and that he
makes his campaign unqualifiedly as
a Communist. e

WILL DRILL 9
Announ ces Program Of Nine
Wells to be Drilled This Year
On Their Kelvin Acreage

A program of nine wells in the
Kevin field during the coming
year has been announced by the
Dakota-Montana Oil company,
one of the pioneer Independent
operators of the field. This COM
pany has holdings in the east end
of the field and has two produc-
ers. Operators will resume as
soon as weather conditions per-
nit.
Observation-Disclosures Oil company
entered the Kevin field in 1922,
soon after the discovery of oil
here. The company secured leas-
es on 1900 acres scattered over
considerable territory in the east
end of the field. At the time this
acreage was considered purely
wildcat but as the trend of pro-
duction moved eastward, the
Dakota-Montana holdings became
surrounded by production.
Drilling will be carried for
ward on the ne NV of section 30
36-1 W where the company's first
producer is located and either in
the vicinity of the we'll in Sec
ton 7-34-1w or on acreage adjoin-
ing the Big West-AlIen group of
wells on the west in section 81
35-1 W.
The company has forty acres
Of the Emmons permit in section
80. between the Empire and Bit

ing the Big West Allen group on
the west, in Sc NV 31-35-1w and
22 forties in section 6, z and 8
in township "a, range l west.
The company has another forty
in section 31-35-1 W, the south
west quarter of the southwest
quarter of the section.
Dakota Montana Oil company
is backed largely by N. Dakota
capital, with its home office at
Kenmare, N. D. With its pro-
gram Of 10 wells the company
should be one of the leading In
dependent producers of the east
side before the end of the year.

GIANT" REFINERY Is
RUNNING TO CAPACITY

As a result of the continued
good weather the Montana Giant
Refinery at Kevin is operating
its pipe line and trucks continu-
ously and the refinery is running
to capacity. With a ready mar
ket for gasoline and other plant
products, shipment is made as
soon as the product is finished.
This company recently acquir-
ed the service at Sweet Grass,
formerly operated by Mr.. Homer
Stewart. Ideally located, this
station should be of inestimable
value as an additional outlet for
the refinery production.
Along with its good gasoline
the Giant" refinery is turning
out very high grade of tractor
distillate. This product is in great
demand amongst the farmers in
this part of the country and
Canada. The INITIAL" or start
in the boiling point range is
higher than that of gaso-
line but the range in boiling runs
considerable higher making the
very desirable for heavy
duty engines. The price is very
low as compared to gasoline max
ing the product the ideal fuel for
tractors and other farm machin-
cry.

Sturdevant Has Pro-
gram of Ten Wells

The Sturdevant Oil company
of Centralia, Wash, one of the
most recent entrants into the
Kevin field, has outlined an ex-
tensive drilling campaign for the
present year and expects to drill
not less than 10 wells on it's hold
ings, which is considered some
of the choice acreage in the east
end of the field, where the most
uniform production h a been
found.
The completion of its present
program should place the COM
pany among the producers who
will make a neat return to the
people who have financed the en-
terprise. The company is a Wash
ington corporation with head
quarters at Centralia, Wash. The
scarcity of oil, bids fair TO make
the coming year the most active
that this field has ever experience
ed. 1t is probable that all of the
active companies will increase
their program this year.
