HOW TO ORGANIZE A SHOP NUCLEUS

great effect on our fellow workers.
This is much better than the meet
ings of the territorial branches where
most of the time is wasted in reading
yard long communications, or how
many "hot dogs" are we going to buy
for our next entertainment, whether
our singing choir shall be the first or
second number on the program, ETC.
THE long communications, entertain
L ments, singing choirs, dramatic
clubs, ETC., will in the future be the
work of the auxiliary and language
clubs and not the work Of the Com
munsit Party The work of the Com
munist Party is to lead the workers
in the everyday struggle against the
capitalist system. With this l do not
want to say that from now on we are
going to have any entertainments or
singing and dramatic clubs. We will
have all this only on a more broad
basis, with our sympathizers who are
not yet ready to join the party, but
who are willing to work for the
party.

district should lose but few and
materially increase the activity and
improve the politicab CONSCIOUSNESS of
this membership.
At the last convention this discus
sion of backward elements" was
made a rather bitter jest, but that
such elements do exist, and often
through little fault of their own, is
undeniable. 1t was brought out in the
district nine convention that most of
the small branches of the Iron Range
had not seen an English speaking or
ganizer, teacher or lecturer for q
year, two years, or even three years
And the plea of the Finnish comrades
that the district office, or at least an
effective sub-district Office be moved
to the center Of 800 of the district
membership, rather than to that of
1919 in the metropolis two hundred
miles away, fell on deaf ears. If the
reorganization brings into this district
able, tactful, conscientious reorgan-
izers it will do more to build our
party in this vital section than years
of vegetation under the old system.
The reorganization will broaden these
local units beyond language lines, the
old form and its resultant activity
would never have done. In a town
with even good Finnish local fine
lone rebel Slav or German or Amer
lean remains unorganized-the new
form will end this. Furthermore at
tention will finally be given to these
units in farming sections and thus be-
gin for the first time Communist
agricultural activity by American
Communist farmers.
A few months more will see our
party reformed. For these new forms,
the fruit of worldwide revolutionary
experience, we must Immediately
map out the new activities that will
definitely line up our party with the
other powerful Communist sections
to whom this work is bread and
blood of very existence. No pessi-
Thism on loss of old members should
be tolerated. Whom will we lose?
Those elements that would be Com
munists anywhere save at the place of
industry? They are no material for
our revolution which must come
from the workshop. Those who "be-
long, for reasons of social OF lingual
gregariousness? Our worker clubs"
will give this, perhaps better than
now, under Communist leadership,
and no longer possible for non-Com-
munists' decision Of our party affairs.
Party membership is no cheap thing,
it is the accolade of the revolutionist.
Ours shall be reorganized in new
form, it shall fight with new weapons
and go forward to new achievements.

New York League Meet

NEW YORK CITY-Comrade Sam
Don, District Organizer of the Young
Workers League in District 2 an
nounces the calling of Trade Union
Conference of all members of the
League for the purpose of discussing
the tasks of the Communists in the
unions. The conference will be held
Monday evening, October 26th, at 5
p. M, at los Eldridge Street.
Comrade Benjamin Gitlow, member
of the Central Committee of the
Workers Party, will lead the discus
sion. All League members and par
ticularly those who are members of
the trade unions have been urged to
come
This conference will strike blow
at the journalistic conception of be-
coming a mass organization. 1t will
point out that the Young Workers
League must assume the leadership
of the struggles of the young workers
by actually participating in their daily
struggles. In order to Illustrate any
tendency which may manifest itself to
leave or refuse to join the reformist
trade unions, it will point out that the
trade unions are the mass organiza-
tions of the working class and it is
essential to work within them and to
revolutionize them.
The question of the greater exploit
alton of the young workers, the lack
of attention on this score by the trade
unions, the organization of the unor-
ganized young workers into the trade
unions with lower initiation fees and
dues will be discussed and acted upon.
KIsague will proceed with the further
Organization of Communist youth frac-
tions, so that the struggle on behalf
of the young workers in the unions
and the Trade Union Educational
League will be organized and effec-
tive.

Jewish Bakers Strike
in Springfield, Mass;
Union Scabs on Jobs
BY 3. LEVINE

SPRINGFIELD Mass, October %
Eleven bakers in the employ of the
Jacobs Baking Co. at Springfield,
Mass, are out on strike.
The firm has broken its agreement
with Local 404 l. B. & G. Workers
Union by hiring non-union labor and
by forcing the union men to sign in
dividual agreements with a security
of five hundred dollars each.
Jobs Costs $4,000
The play of the firm was to fire a
baker-let him go idle a few weeks
and then forcing him to sign the
agreement and put up the security in
order to get back the job. 1t took the
employees some time to get wise to
the tricks of the firm, and now they
are conducting a vigorous campaign
to unionize the shop.
Cooperative Gets Trade
Springfield, Mass. has only two Jew
ish bakeries, the other one is the
Jewish Women's Cooperative Bakery
doing the largest amount of business
of any cooperative bakery in the coun-
try, according to statistics furnished
by the bureau of labor states. The
cooperative is lending all possible
financial and moral aid to the strike.
A conference of eleven Jewish labor
organizations endorsed the strike and
pledged the support of all it's 800 men,
bers to the strike.
The owner of the Jacobs Baking Co.
is Mr.. Magazine who is vice-president
of the Speciality Retail Bakery own
ers' Association, an association of
Jewish bakers to help break strikes
and fight the union. This association
has supplied the firm with scabs from
an Independent union in New York.
Open air meetings are held daily
and the Communists are taking active
part in bringing the strike to a victor
ious end.

FOR SMOOT PLAN
Lenroot Says Congress Will
Not Give President Blanket
Authority Asked.

According to Senator Lenroot of
Wisconsin, who conferred with Presi-
dent Coolidge at the White House.
there is very little prospect or
legislation providing FOR a general re-
organization of the executive depart
ments of the Government passing al
the coming session OF Congress. IN
his opinion. the only way that the re-
organization will be effected VIII be
through the medium OF piecemeal leg
isIation and not by the general plan,
as proposed in the Smoot Dill, or py
the proposal to give the PRESIDENT
blanket authority to reorganize the
departments at Will.
Senator Lenroot said that he was
opposed to the latter plan because ne
feared il would establish what might
be looked upon as revolutionary
precedent in peace times. Regarding
the Smoot plan for the general re
orga niZation. the Wisconsin Senator,
while not expressing his PERSONA
opinion of it, declared that II had NOT
the slightest chance to pass. lie SAID
there is too much opposition to TINS
plan.
Senator Lenroot stated that the
ONLY way the reorganization can be
successfully brought about VIII be oy
the enactment of series of indiVld-
ual bills permitting transfers OF gov
ernmental activities from one depart
ment to another or bringing about
consolidation.
He stated that his call upon the
President was in regard TO legislation
that will be brought up at the coming

About 1000 square miles of new ter
ritory has been mapped for the first
time in the extreme northern part of
Alaska. The exploration party took
seven months to cover the territory
and during five of the seven did not
see any other human beings.

that had no white or mixed breeds.
This is the native village of Natik
where no one out of the 250 popula-
ton smokes tobacco.
