vized and centralized revolutionary
party, Comrade Juskauskas, a coal
miner from West Frankfort, Illinois,
told how a shop nucleus works in coal
mining region In Southern Illinois.
He said that before the organization

as to the possible success of the work.
but after the short period Of the shop
nucleus in effect, they have found out
that party work is carried. out much
more effectively than before.
He pointed out, that miners who
were hard to draw into the party are
now attracted by the work done by a
centralized body and are coming into
the party. And the enemies recog-
nize that we are growing power. He
said that the sooner the party is re-
organized on the shop nuclei basis,
the sooner its Communist work will

the party assured.
Then delegate after delegate took
the floor and pointed out the bene-
fits our party will derive from reor-
ganization. Altho 1t was admitted
that we shall have some difficulties,
but once the party is recognized on
the shop nuclei basis and centralized,
it will draw all the active and fight
ing elements Of the working class i'm
to 1t.
1t Is especially hopeful for foreign
born workers who have so many la
Dor and semi-labor organizations and
for whom it is hard to distinguish the
differences between the party and
other labor organizations. 1t was re-
peatedly pointed by delegates that
after the party is reorganized, they
will easily see that the centralized
and Bolshevized party is the vanguard
of the working class in its struggles
for it's immediate demands and for
the final task.
There was also a healthy discussion
on how to best reorganize the eighth
district. The conference was enthusi-
astic and unanimous on every import
ant question. There were 29 regular
delegates from the district.

Many Tough Problems.

The Chinese workers who are only
Just awakening to the realization OF
the class struggle, are confronted
with triple problem; first their own
exploiters and profiteers; second, the
capitalist invaders who now rule
China, and as per late reports, they
have had a flood that has pauperized
millions of workers and peasants
whose crops were wiped out. Two
million families were left high and
dry without a morsel to call their
own. The American I. w. A. looks
forward to receiving unstinted and i'm
mediate support from all sections OF
the country, from the ranks of labor
and sympathizers. -
1t is to be hoped that the American
workers will rally to the support of
the Chinese workers morally and
financially. II is not charity but
duty that calls. Send your contribu-
ton to the international Workers

ANTI-SOV|ET WAR
COST 70 MILLION
ROUMANIA CLAIMS
u. S. Envoy Advised
Attack on Bessarabia

GENEVA, Sept. SO.-The Rouman-
ian debt funding commission is COM
ing over here With claim against the
United States for S7O,OOO,OOO. They
are going to say that Oscar Crosby,
official American representative to
Roumania, joined the allies in order
ing Roumania to attack the Bolshe-
vik army in Bessarabia in December.
1917. The Roumanian government had
sent $40 ,OOO, OOOin gold to Moscow for
safe keeping and the attack on the
Bolsheviks lost them their chances
of getting it back.
The U. S. state department will
very likely disclaim the action of
Crosby and, in any case, will point
out that Roumania occupied Bess-
arabia and kept it. Bessarabia is
worth considerably more than $780,
100000.
The Roumanian commission will
leave for Washington Oct. 10. The
Bratiano dictatorship of the Boyar
country wants to borrow $100,000,O00
in New York. The three Bratiano
brothers who rule the country are
also its chief bankers. They need
money for their banks and they have
been informed that they can't have
any from Wall Street until they wor-
ry about the $45,OOO,O0O they already
owe. So they are sending a commits
sion to talk it over with Mellon.

Germans Give Russ

1t is reported thatlGermGa commercial
circles are preparing to extend credits
of $50,0O0,000 to Soviet Russia for the
purchase of agricultural machinery,
automobiles, tractors and industrial
equipment. White Germany is un-
willing. M fact, hardly able, to ex-
tend large credits to any country, it
is plain that Russia offers her biggest

Russia is not in position to pay
cash and insists on long term loans
that are possible of liquidation thru
exports of raw materials and Rus
sian products. The loan to Russia is
said to be private German affair in
which the government is taking no
