the various departments who are still
members of language branches. As
soon as this reorganization is COM
pleted, steps will be taken to propose
a special shop nucleus paper for the
Ford workers.
The organizing secretary of this
shop nucleus writes as follows:
The nucleus has taken steps In as
sisting in the reorganization work.
The organizer has been given full
power to appoint comrades to go be-
fore the federation branches. from
which they have been transferred, and
get the eligible comrades to transfer
into the nucleus. For example, one
or two comrades who have been
transferred from the Russian branch
will go to the Russian branch and con-
vince them in their language, why
they must join the shop nucleus. In
this way we expect results quickly,
enlarging our nucleus and at the same
time, it will be educational in the re-
organization work, because these COM
rades who will go before the branch
meetings will deal with their ex-
periences in the shop nucleus. The
NUCLEUS needs more members to carry
out the work mapped out for it, and
will do all it can to get comrades
transferred from the various branch.

of new members will continue.

he is. When bring a member to the
nucleus branch, know who am
bringing in. AS before, no one knew
him. All we were Interested in was
that he obligate himself to the prin-
ciples of the Party. For example, we
have an application from one who
works in the shop, and he has been
a member in the party in Indiana
polls. We have a committee elected
who can find out whether he was a
member in Indianapolis and at the
same time we got his location where
he works, and go thru the department
once in a while to see him, without
his knowing it. The committee is
satisfied, but will not give him any
important work and he can't do any
damage. But a Communist must ex-
pect danger. He must prepare for the
worst, for the real revolutionary
crisis is not here yet. The fact is that
they do know that am Communist,
but they never caught me. The
general foreman knowing that l was
well read and supporting Soviet Rus
STA, would ask me some questions re-
garding some red" news in the pa
per. But have been wise enough not
to be caught.
In all of my fifteen years of labor
movement activity,SI never saw the
comrades take so much interest in
having the papers distributed at their
respective plants as this May Day.
In the past, the comrades went from
house to house where they were I'M
molested with their work. But this
year, especially at the Ford shops,

with all the police interference the
comrades went at 1t in a revolution
airy spirit. They were going to have
their shop mates read the paper, and
they were interested to have their
shop organized. We have learnt few
things from that May Day distribution
and will try to do better at the next
distribution. Only few comrades
wanted to distribute at their shop;
the comrades from one shop worked
with the papers at another shop, so
as not to expose themselves to the
master.
Literature Distribution
One of the Ford plant nuclei dis
tributed five thousand copies at the
shop gates, and at midnight distri-
buted 1900 more, to the night work
ers, as they we're leaving the shop.
This shop nucleus had, at the time,
membership of fourteen members.
But it was these fourteen members
who distributed $500 DAILY WORK
ERS out of total of 10000 ordered
by the entire district for the occasion.
At the Ford plant shop nucleus, 5000
special May Day issues Of the DAILY
WORKER were distributed. Three of
the comrades were arrested while
doing this party work. One of the
comrades was badly beaten up by the
sheriff because he refused to obey
in answering the questions put to him.
All of the comrades were released
when they came up for trial.
These nuclei are now taking steps
to reorganize themselves so as to in
clude all party members working in

Factory Workers to
Receive Preference
at Health Resorts

MOSCOW, Oct. 9.-In accordance
with the directions of the AllRussian
Trade Union Council at least SO per
cent of the general number of patients
being sent this year to the health re-
sorts Of the Crimea and the Caucasus,
will be factory workers. The remain
ing accommodations will be given to
Office workers, responsible officials,
etc. The central administration of
social insurance grants about 200
rubles for each patient, and the aver
age health resort treatment is reck-
oned at to 6 weeks.
The available places are distribute
ed among the various trade unions.
Thus, for instance, the Railwaymen's
Union has been allotted $40 places,
which means that about 1000 railway
men will have the benefit of health
resort treatment thruout the season.
The Moscow trade unions send
several thousand people to the health
resorts in the vicinity of Moscow. In
addition, about $4,000 Moscow work.
ers will have an opportunity of spend
ing their holidays in rest homes.

We herewith print excerpts from a
report by comrade functioning in a
shop nucleus in one of the Ford plants
in Detroit. This report is very in
structive. 1t shows precisely what
can be done to bring the workers
closer to our party, and make our
party living political body.
The comrade writes as follows:
Regarding my experience in the
shop nuclei let me say that / have
learnt many things and adapted my
self accordingly. When the subscrip-
ton drive for the DAILY WORKER
was on l have taken as many as Is
copies to the shop for my mates to
read. l did not have to lose any of
my sleep looking up my prospects.

to some article, and explain it to them

with the others. In the past a name
was turned over and we would go and
visit the worker with hopes of getting
him interested to subscribe for the
paper. Many times he would not be
at home and we would try again.
How the Work is Done.
The comrades who are not mem
bers of the nucleus claim that we
expose ourselves to the masters, by
our membership in the nucleus. From
experiences, find just the reverse.
From conversations in the shop you
can easily find out who is who, let
the other fellow talk, and find out who

Z This membership meeting of Dis

cerest and most tireless executions Of
all decisions of the Communist Inter-
national regarding our party. This is
particularly necessary when Lore is
openly working to discredit the Com

and to destroy the possibilities for
building up a powerful section of the
Communist International. Especially
at this moment, therefore, any attempt
to question the character of or to dis
credit the latest Communist Interna-
tional decision or in any way to in
terfere with. its successful execution
would be playing into the hands of
the Loreites and other enemies of
the Comintern, would be a blow
struck against the Communist Inter-

 The story of the play is very mod crn. The central characters are a married couple with a son about Go be married. The older couple are full of youthful enthusiasm, gay ideas. and happiness apparently. But we soon discover that "Matey," the husband stifled his youthful career as an artist in order to marry Nancy, his sweet heart, when both were very young Then, having married her. he turned I ilsolutely from the lure of his art and faced the more solid business of manu- soap. In this he was very successful, but secretly he longed for the career that might have been his.
 History is about to repeat itself when their son, destined for q bril- liant architectural career. informs them that he is about to renounce his career in order to marry the girl he loves. They try 10 dissuade him, but when they fail, the girl herself, high minded and spirited takes matters into her own hands and ali is brought to a happy and satisfying conclusion.
