SHOP Nuclei Reorganization Some Experiences

creased as its circulation grew. This
was the second most important form
of propaganda, the first being personal
propaganda talks, carefully planned
and Systematically followed UP by
nucleus members.
Propagandizing methods are dis
cussed in the full meeting, and the
educational end is a full discussion of
party questions and problems, such as
international trade union unity, the
Dawes plan, the International, Trots-
kyismg etc. In the unions they are
advocating industrial unionism--the
union in one organization of sales
people, engineers, chauffeurs, and all
others working in the store or vitality
connected with it. The nucleus is at
tached to the 18th "rayon" or district.
l have gone into some detail here be-
cause it gives us a picture Of a fully
developed, living nucleus at work.
We can approximate this in this coun-
try in certain sections Of the needle
trades, mining industry, and others.
Besides the 500 nuclei in Paris. or
ganized into nearly so districts with
200 factory newspapers, the northern
industrial section Of France is rapid
ly being recognized. In the great
coal fields and textile (Line) centers
in the north, despite the fact that this
region is still the stronghold OF the
socialist party, 1876 nuclei have been
set up, half in the mines, and half in
the textile mills, organized into Is
districts, and issuing 20 shop papers.
The local party weekly, L'Enchaine du
Nord, has increased from $4,000 to
$4,000. The entire party has been re-
organized into regions corresponding
to the industrial and economic char
acteristics of the country. 1t was the
shop nuclei which insisted on the ex-
pulsion of the right wing opportun-
lists, Monatte, Rosmer and Delagarde,
who, tho on the central executive com
mittee, fell for" Macdonald, Trotsky
and Souvarine.
1t would be very much worth while
If comrades who know something Of
the experiences of our German party
in its reorganization on the shop
nuclei basis would tell us in the
DAILY WORKER about it. That is
the chief task before us, and we can
not know too much about it.

The Paris Pact-A Storm Center

Senator johnson of California is one of the most
despicable figures in American politics. but he has
raised issue in the senate that overshadows in
Importance all other political questions at this
time
The signing of the Paris agreement and the open
support of the United States government given
to the allied imperialists as against Germany in
the collection of PREPARATIONS places the United
States right in the center of the European mess.
Even in international politics there are no
privileges without corresponding duties and the
acceptance by emissaries of the United States
government of percentage of the German pay
ments unquestiOnably obligates it to take part,
perhaps leading part, in the disciplining of all
violations of the agreement on the part of Ger
many. Such discipline only the use of
military force in this day and age.
The real meaning of the Paris agreement is that
the United States government has been forced by
the House of Morgan to begin the enforcement of
the Dawes plan with all that this implies The
period of unofficial and semi-oficial negotiations
and commitments is oyer. We enter now the period
OF payment and, if necessary of coercion of debtors
The banker hackers of Coolidge are now demand
ing and receiving the price of their support mill
tary preparations show increased activity and
American Imperialism prepares to establish con-
troll over western Europe no matter what the cost
to the American working class.
There is little doubt that this one issue will
divide the forces in the house and senate the divi-
sion taking place somewhat along the lines drawn
in the last eectiOn-the lower sections of the mid
die class against the Paris pact the big capitalists
and their spokesman for it,
The economic interests that lie underneath the
struggle now just beginning in Washington are
apparent when remember that Senator johnson
is in favor of the fullest preparedness against
Japan, that California, his state is leader in the
anti-oriental agitation and that LaFollette
Wheeler, Ladd Frazier and Shipstead all repre-
sent the Weather farmers and lower middle class
There are also signs in the form of confused
editorials in portion of the labor press that re
sentiment against the imperialst plans of the Amer
lean ruling class is taking shape but the ignorance
and treachery of the trade union oficialdom
seriously hampers its development.
The, burden of acquainting the American work.
ers with the full meaning of the Paris pact and
outlining program for resistance to the muir
derous schemes Of American imperialism falls upon
the Workers (Communist) Party of America From
the middle-class insurgents and reactonary labor
officials can come nothing but confusion and be-
trayal when the final decision for relentless strug
gle must be made.

Real Communist Activity

Young Comrade Olenberg, working in the Mil
dred Shoe cOmpanys works, Brooklyn New York,
had to lick the foreman, arrested and placed
under 5000 bail, all because a member of the
Young Workers League he did his Communist duty
and tried to organize his fellow shoe workers into
the union.
This kind of activity will do more to win the
young workers in this shop for the Y w. L. and the
adult workers for the Workers (Communist) Party
than several tons of literature altho written pro-
paganda has its important place. Comrade Glen
berg is to be congratulated for his miIitancy and
when such incidents are happening by the score in
dozens of shops and factories the workers will
gladly follow the Workers (Communist) Party in
the United States.
1t is in such activities those of Comrade Olen-
berg's that the history of the Communist movement
is written and in such manner are Communist
parties built.
The DAILY WORKER can always find space
for stories of this kind and it looks forward to the
day when its columns will be filed with them 7

The DAILY WORKER must not be

lickspittles and lackeys of capitalism
think by falling our militant leaders
that they can crush the revolutionary

citadel Of world capitalism. But his.

persecution, despotism, and tyranny
is used against the advancing hosts of
labor, with the constant loyalty and
true devotion to the upbuilding of a
real Communist daily with a million

masses for that which we are destined
by history to accomplish that all the
power at the hands of the capitalist
oligarchy shall not be able to with

Kentucky Miners Unorpanized
In the parts of West Virginia and
Kentucky where the mining of soft
coal predominates, as far as l have
been able to discover;nthe organiza-
lions of miners are far from what
they should be. Around the Clinchco
mine near Elkhom City. KY, l talked
with some miners and found that most
of the mines for many miles thru that
section are entirely unorganized, and
that as result, the wages are much
below the union rate The workers
are absolutely in the power of the
greedy mine owners.
An incident which occurred today
in Hazard, Ky. serves to illustrate
more strikingly than statistics, the
unfortunate plight OF these unorgan-
lied workers.
| was doing a job on the Main st.
of the town, when along come four
miners carrying a stretcher, upon
which rested the body of a man cover
ed with a blanket. Nobody on the
street paid more than casual attention
When asked one of the store-keepers
about the apparently injured miner
he told me to wait a minute" and
looked down the street. In moment
he turned to me and said, "He's dead"
How do you know?" / inquired.
WELL" said he, 'sit's this way; the
hospital is around the corner and the
undertaker's is straight ahead, and
they're going right down the line"
"Oh, yes" he continued, sits COM
mon thing here, falling slate or some
thing like that, you know. Almost
every day the stretcher goes down
the street and we can always tell
when 1t gets to the corner whether a
Teller has been killed or not. guess

right"
Said one Of the by-standers, Heard
Jim was laid up, anything dangerous?"
NO" was the answer" only a
broken arm or leg. something like
that" 3pi
Mines Opened IN Recent Years
These mines have been opened only
in recent years. The towns which owe
their growth and in some cases their
very existence to this fact seem to be
doing very good business, so much
so, that hundreds OF travelling sales
men flock thru this section weekly,
realizing that the sales opportunities
in these mountains are growing with
the growing mining operations.
Where Are The Union Oraanlzers7
II the United Mine Workers were
doing business for the workers the
prospects for organizing these mines
would indeed be much brighter. AS It
now stands, there Is q real opportunity
for labor union 70 line up" the men
and remove source OF present misery
to thousands and future menace to
the well-being of miners thruout the
United States.
