Within the past few months the
party in the Mahoning and Shenango
valleys in eastern Ohio and western
Pennsylvania has been making head
way among the organized and unOr-
ganized workers in the building of
Communist shop nuceli in the steel
mills. In this they are doing very
necessary and important work for the
bolshevization of our party. We are
now able to use these nuclei to carry
on our work within the mills and draw
more workers to see the necessity for
their taking part in the everyday
struggles.
20 merely philosophize about the
workers condition is not enuf. We
must enter into his every struggle
Where is that struggle going on but in
the mill. the mine, and the factory
where the wage slaves are congregat-
ed, congested and exploited by the
bosses?
Our nuclei are now meeting in the
homes or in the halls of the workers
and there discussing how best to get
in touch with the disconnected worker
and translate his discomfort into or
ganized action. AS an example there is
a state cossack bill to be fought
against in the state OF Ohio this fall
This bill is vital to the worker. He
must be made to seek just what it
means to him and his family. Must
be made to see the Shiny hand OF the
boss pulling the strings upon the
members of the state senate or the
house OF representatives Our nuclei
are working hard and stirring up the
workers and helping to bring about
mass meetings to take up and discuss
the best way TO get the workers out
and get them into the fight against
this bill.

tators belonged to the laboring class
in one of the poorest wards.
The theater was fully Illuminated
when the balcony suddenly collapsed
and fell upon the spectators below
This illumination in an interval of
the showing OF the film presumably
prevented the disaster from reaching
greater proportions.
Although fire did not follow the
collapse of the balcony the firemen
rescued many persons from the debris.
Terror stricken women whose chill.
dren were missing shrieked aloud.
There was panic. One woman be
came insane over the disappearance
of her child.
The proprietor Of the theater was
arrested but quickly released. The
officials declared that he was not re-
sponsible for overcrowding. A mu-
nicipal Official stationed in the the.
ater as an inspector disappeared after
the catastrophe. He is likely to be
charged with responsibility for the
disaster.
Some of the injured in hospitals are
in a grave condition. Some victims
were sent home instead Of to hos.

velopments, even when proposed by
the big railroads throughout the
country, and does not give its ap-
proval until a very real and actual
need is shown to meet some real, eX-
listing condition.
That there is no real need here
is being pointed out by the shippers
and handlers in freight in the Ma
tional Capital, who point out that the
addition of a belt line and another
distributing center would make en-
barrassing an otherwise satisfactory
situation. 1t would result in longer
hauls of freight, in many instances,
split up shipments in some cases, and
places the distributing yards miles
away from the center of the city,
where most of 1t would eventually
find its way.
1t was pointed out that, even from
shipping argument alone, it would
be an absolute detriment to Wash
ington to have this belt line. Leav-
out the delay in getting the Wash
ington consignnents, IL cars would
be held at Loughborough for recon
signment, the shippers would hardly
order them to take the route via
Hyattsville and Benning to get them
into South Washington. but would
endeavor to ship them to Eastern
points at even a less attractive figure
than they could get for them in
Washington to avoid the delay and
extra expense.
This would result according to
local traffic experts, in diverting from
the Capital City of much local bust
ness. making Washington practically
way station for through trains To
run around and divert the business
to Eastern points. instead of giving
the people of Washington the ad-
vantage of more competitive
market. Furthermore, even round
about shipments could not be made
If connecting railroads refused to Co
operate with the belt line and their
opposition to the project indicates
this continued course.
The proposed railroad. even the
railroad interests contend, would
seriously damage the residential sec
ton in the Northwest and in the
populous portions being rapidly
developed along the border of the
District. 1t would bring to that sec
tion no advantages, it is said. and
it would be a terrible drawback TO
the development of the section as
residential community as testified
by the experiences of other cities.
Freight Movements Here.
Train schedules for the movement
Of freight out OF Potomac yards. ac-
cording to the shippers and handlers
of freight, have been carefully
studied over a long term of years
and these outbound schedules have
been so synchroniZed with the sched
ules of inbound trains as TO keep
freight of all classes moving with
a minimum loss Of time at Potomac
yards. AS applied to perisha bles,
these schedules are SO arranged as
TO expedite the movement of cars
from Potomac yards and to permit
their reaching the primary markets
served through this terminal. such
as Pittsburgh. Baltimore. Phila-
delphia, New York Boston. Canadian
points. etc. not later than the sec
ond morning after departure from
Potomac yards.

markets, who unload these cars and

ly on arrival, giving the consumer a
regular supply of both fruit and
vegetables at a minimum cost for
handling and in the freshest and most
attractive condition.
Would Multiply Delays.
Should this new terminal at Lough-
borough be established, 1t is contend
ed, II would simply mean a splitting
up of the movement. Part of the
present tonnage would, of course. go
on to Potomac yards and part would
go to the Loughborough terminal.
This would result in a reduction in
operating revenue to Potomac yards.
On cars moving to the proposed
Loughborough terminal there is no
way possible to avoid delays. There
would have to he an absolute revision
of schedules governing the IIough.

bia."
Following out his policy of looking
after the enforcement problem here
directly, Gen. Andrews said he holds
frequent conferences with Gerald p.
Murphy. deputy administrator for
Washington. and at one time was
called upon by District Attorney Pey-
ton Gordon concerning matters of
prosecution OF prohibition cases here.
Other Measures Proposed.
Besides the prohibition amendment
of local interest. the Treasury pro
posed Congress should authorize also
these measures:
Placing of all cereal beverage plants
under governmental supervision.
Registration of buildings and ap-
paratus set up to make the manu-
facture of beer possible.
Issuance of warrants for the search
of private dwellings, on evidence of
manufacture OF liquor for commercial
purposes.
Subjecting of alcohol or rum de-
natured for purposes of liquor manu-
facture to seizure and forfeiture.
Imposition of penalties on those
who make, sell or transport liquor
made from denatured alcohol or rum.
Imposition of severe penalties for
the counterfeiting of permits. pre-
Scriptions and other forms.
Summary condemnation of vehicles
seized in liquor violations.
Offered After Consultation.
The amendments were submitted
after careful study by Mr. Andrews,
who consulted with Secretary Mellon
and the Department of Justice also.
Our experience in enforcing the
national prohibition laws convinces
us" Secretary Andrews said in his let
ter to the committee chairmen. that
certain changes and additions are
quite essential to success"
Issuance OF search warrants for
private dwellings, is perhaps the most
radical proposal of the prohibition
chief, who explained that liquor op-
orators are taking advantage of it
TO use homes as distilleries.''
They rent these dwellings, and es-
tablish a family therein" he wrote,
whose occupation is to distill alco-
hol for the bootleg trade. We can
break up this source of supply only
| by having the law provide that search
warrants may issue on evidence of
| manufacture for commercial pur-
poses. / cannot see that this will in
any way impair the protection of the
citizen from improper invasion of his
home: and yet it will strengthen the
hand of the Government in it's effort
| to reach the sources of supply for
the bootleg industry
Industrial! Alcohol Problem.
Invasion of the industrial alcohol
| field by bootleggers has presented, he

persons convicted of denaturing al
cohol or rum for liquor manufacture
| or of selling. making or transporting
! liquor made from denatured alcohol
or rum.
