Girl HITS BOSS
WITH DISEASE
SPOTTED FOWL
Won't Pluck Chicken
and Loses Job
BY MAX COHEN.
(Worker Corresponding

PEORIA, ILL.,, Dec. 22.-Virginia
Clause, % years old, employed as a
chicken picker at the Cappel-Garrard
Poultry Supply Co., was found guilty
of disorderly conduct in a justice Of
the peace court for striking Charles
November, her boss, with the carcass
of disease spotted chicken. Because
she refused to pick sore spotted
carcass she was discharged. Hoven-
der admitted that the chicken was a
little "pinney" but it was not dis
eased, he said.
Virginia wanted to buy the chicken
and show it to the health authori-
ties, but November refused. The two
struggled for possession of the chick

with the chicken, but l should have
stuffed 1t down his throat" she said.
Maybe l did wrong, but let them
bring that chicken here and If he will
eat one bit of it, or If you will, then
will work as long as they like and
will not ask one cent Of pay" Virgin
la told the Judge.
She accepted her dismissal calmly
altho it meant walking the streets
in search of work as she did only
few weeks ago, when, as last resort
she took the job in the packing com
pany. There will be no happy Christ
mas for Virginia, all because she
stood up for what was right.
Because of her vigorous stand, she
was released and her fine of five dol
lars was suspended.

permissible for experienced comrades
to accept an assignment for helping a
shop nucleus unless these comrades
are prepared to spend the necessary
time for these new tasks.
Then again, we should be careful
not to attach too many comrades
who are not employed in the factory
in which the shop nucleus is organ
lied. For instance, 1t would be folly
to add, to attach three active com
rades to a shop nucleus consisting Of
three members. Likewise, it would be
bad policy to attach more than two
or three experienced comrades to a
shop nucleus consisting Of about 20 or
so members. To the extent that the
shop nucleus must have work done
in the ranks of the non-Communists
in their factory, work which they can
not themselves execute safely and
effectively these shop nuclei are to
call upon their respective district Of
fees for mobilization OF members in
street nuclei to carry on such work.
AS a rule, the street nuclei located
nearest to the factories where such
shop nuclei are organized will be called
upon for such special work in addi-
ton to their regular work.
2. The Problem Of Potential Nuclei.
In some districts we have found
that certain shop nuclei were organ
lied consisting OF three members
working in three different establish
ments Of the same trade or craft locat-
ed near each other. This is a very
bad practice. 1t almost borders on
! an industrial branch.
The reorganization plan adopted by
the central executive committee per,
mits, in certain instances, the organ,
ization Of shop nuclei consisting OF
two members working in one place
and third party member working in
factory nearby in order to help the
two comrades in their work so that
new membership may be won and
thus a regular shop nucleus should
be organized as soon as possible.
However, we must make certain
qualifications for this practice. Sup
posing we have place of employment
where the total number Of workers
engaged is, let US say, FIVE. The in
dustry in which this place of employ
ment is found is not basic and the
particular shop is small. Two Of the
five workers in this small place are
party members. Shall we attach some
party member, not working in thiI
place, and thus have three comrades
so as to constitute a shop nucleus

Shop Nucleus Courses
to Train Communists

NEW YORK CITY. Dec. a. The
shop nucleus training courses, sched-
uled to start on Thursday and Friday
next, respectively, will begin Thurs
day, Jan. s, and Friday, January 3.
They could not be started earlier be-
cause many of the shop nuclei were
still electing their representatives and
because the coming Thursdays and
Fridays are Christmas Eve. Christmas
New Years Eve and New Year, which
are inopportune times to start class
es.
The registration for these courses
are very high, since every shop nu-
cleus, factory district nucleus and in
ternational branch is sending one
representative and paying his fee,
therefore, it may be necessary to start
many more classes. The school is
prepared TO start as many shop nu-
cleus training courses as are required
Any unit OF the party which has
not yet elected its representative
should put that on the order OF bust
ness for the next meeting and send
the name Of the one elected, imme-
diately to the Workers School, los

nURING my recent tour of the eight
- party eastern districts had Occa-
sion to discuss the problems of reor-
ganizaAion with the comrades actively
participating in and directing the re-
organization Of our party. Many ques-
tons were brot up which we will
have to answer on the basis Of the
experiences of other parties and on
the basis of our own experimenting,
because of the special conditions we
have in the United States; particular
ly the language difficulties, the mex
perience Of some of our comrades,
and the diffusion of employment exist
ing in certain sections of our mem
bership.
Among the immediate problems
most pressing we may enumerate the
following five:
1. The question of attaching active
comrades to shop nuclei.
2. The problems of organizing po-
.ential shop nuclei.
g. The basis for the organization
If sub-sections.
4. The problem Of the organization
Of workers clubs.
5. The task of the organization of
effective trade union fractions and
language fractions.
We will proceed to lay down the
fundamental principles for meeting
each of these problems.
I. Problem Of Attaching Active
Comrades.
Great care should be taken in at
taching experienced party members to
newly organized shop nuclei. First OF
all, we must attach only such active
comrades as will function and carry
out all duties assigned to them in their
role Of directors of the newly organ,
lied shop nuclei. Quite often we have
shop nuclei consisting of good revo
lutionary proletarian members who
have insufficient party experience. II
experienced party members are at
tached to such nuclei and they fail in
their duties of helping the less ex
perienced or inexperienced members
then more harm than good will be
done to the shop nuclei. We have had
cases where experienced party mem.
bers first enthused at the idea of be
ing attached to shop nuclei but when
they were assigned certain duties as
shop nuclei members, they failed tc
carry out these tasks because of other
party work which had been assigned
to them before. 1t is absolutely i'm

CARY bushes UP
HORRIBLE DEATH
MET BY WORKER
Greed for More Profits
Is Responsible
~ a worker correspondsnt

GARY, Ind, Dec. 22.-Another man
has sacrificed his life for the profits
OF the steel barons. The man, Spanish
by birth, has worked for the steel
company just one month as an oiler
in the 6O-inch plate mill.
On Nov. 26th, which was Thanks
giving day, the man went to the oil
house, filed two buckets of oil and
went underneath the hot bed to oil
the gears that run the cold rolls and
hot bed chains. This was about 2
o'clock in the afternoon, and the last
time anybody saw him alive.
While pouring oil on the gears his
sleeve caught in the gears, and pulled
his entire body in also. No one saw
the accident because the place is
covered up with steel plates and used
as a walkway About $3.50 time
keeper passed by and thru the open
ing between the plates saw the man
turning in the gears. He told the oper-
ator to stop the roller line, and there
they found the man all crushed into
small pieces.
This is the worst accident I have
seen In my life. So badly was his body
mangled, that they had to pick up the
pieces of flesh and bones in a bucket.
His right arm was so badly cut up
that only the tips of the fingers were
found. His legs were cut up into
ground meat. There was no stomach
to be found. His liver and heart were
found on his face. His hair was pulled
out. The only thing that was not torn
up was his cap and dipper.
This is all due to the company's fail
ure to provide gear covers. The mill
has operated for IA years without
covers on the gears until man lost
his life, then of course covers were
provided Immediately.
This is only one OF the many acct
dents that occur regularly in the steel
mill, but the workers do not know Of
this because they are not published in
the capitalist papers.
Only the workers in the plate mill
know of this accident. The coroner
and undertaken were called but they
were instructed by the bosses not to
publish this in the Gary Post Tribune,
Gary's only paper.

How the Daily Builds
Up From the Workers
Who Drive the Nails
BY LIP. RlNDAL
Worker correspondent)

LOS ANGELES, Calf, Dec. 22-The
essence of two private letters from a
carpenter in Santa Barbara, Calf,
reads as follows: 8At'
81 promised friend here today l
would write you for copies of The
DAILY WORKER which he likes to
read so much. Send all you have and
will see that he gets them"
1.-THE bundle of DAILY WORKERS
arrived in due time. There is consider
able unemployment here at present.
This is undoubtedly to some extent
because most Of the urgent repair
work has been completed.
Cooper, the. notorious scab Los
Angeles architect and contractor, has
now started construction on pretent-
ious $350,O0O building on State St.,
near the Post ONCE. This job is so
far unfair. Carpenters are receiving
$500 per day Of 5 hours and working
Saturday afternoon for straight time.
AS the foundation has not been dug
yet few carpenters have been employ
ed up to now, 1t is believed that the
job will become unionized. Another
outfit from San Francisco, always
scabby there, employed union men
here. Cooper may find that policy the
one best suited to conditions in Santa
Barbara.

made arrangements so he will get The
