| CHOP Nucleus No. 20, Chicago, To-
~ Gated in a manufacturing plant
employing thousands OF workers, is
functioning quite actively. The com
rades are enthused over the future
possibilities for work.
A Shop Bulletin is now being issued
regularly; the third issue has Just
come off the press and was we'll re-
ceived by the workers. Difficulty was
at first experienced in getting the
comrades and workers to send in shop
material, but now the news comes in
steadily. 5000 copies are at present
printed An editorial committee
meets to outline each bulletin.
THE shop nucleus, at it's incep-
L ton, had the usual difficulties,
such as getting the comrades from
many language elements together and
meeting regularly. There was com
plete lack of English comrades. A
couple Of comrades were attached to
aid in work. A comrade speaking the
language of the largest language
group in the nucleus was attached to
help these comrades in translation,
writing for the bulletin, etc, at meet
ings.
Active in Various Fields.
The nucleus now meets regularly
with an average attendance OF 10 to
500. The nucles is fairly large
one.
TINE nucleus executive committee
l. meets before each meeting and
prepares the meeting. No communi-
cations are read at the meeting ex-
cept where action is required by the
nucleus on every point. Instead a
brief report is made containing the
gist of the communications. Actions
are recommended and discussion takes
place on them.
Meetings are alive. They are not
cluttered up with an endless and need
lessly long agenda. One or two points
are handled primarily at each meet
ing, Other points are laid over for
another meeting or assigned to indi.
vidual comrades thru the executive

Young Farmers Are
Forced to Work Out

BELDEN, N. D-The Young Work
ers' League out here is composed OF
young farmers who are either working
for their fathers or are hired by some
one else. However, few of the farms
over here are owned by the farmers.
They are only renters for the bankers
or other money corporations, as their
own farms have had the mortgages
foreclosed on them.
All the dreams of the early home
builders" have been crushed when
they were driven from their homes in
which they put many years-of hard
labor. This is the fate of hundreds of
families in North Dakota. We feel
the same dire exploitation of the
workers. So. forward to the strength
ening of the Y. w. L.

HARLEM WORKERS
TO HEA PARTY
SPEAKERS OCT. 7

Workers living in Harlem will have
a fine opportunity to find out about
the Workers Party and what 1t stands
for at the big open mass meeting and
rally, with the best speakers of the
Workers Party in New York City, to
be held by the Harlem Section on
Thursday evening, October at s
p. m. at the Harlem Workers Center,
81 East 10 St.
Speakers.
The speakers will be VIM. J. Vein
stone, district organizer of the Work
ers Party; Juliet S. Poyntz, candidate
on the Workers Party ticket for state
comptroller; julius Codkind, candi-
date for the 18th assembly district,
and Ben Lifshitz lin Jewish) Of the
Amalgamated Metal Workers.
The speakers will bring to the work
ers of Harlem the message Of Com
munism, they will explain to the work
ers their true class interests, they will
tell them why they ought to build their
own party to defend their interests.
old Party Influence.
The republican and democratic
parties have the Harlem workers com
pletely under their infiuence, promls-
ing them everything and giving them
nothing. The socialist party has some
following amoung them, secured thru
the usual deception practiced by this
yellow crew which pretends to be a
friend of the workers, but is working
all the time behind their backs to be-
tray them to the bosses.
Followed by Another.
This meeting will be followed by
another mass meeting in Yorkville on
Thursday evening, October 14th at the
Hungarian Workers Home, $50 E. 81

this second meeting will be made

Many Local Unions
Haze Sport Groups

TT must be apparent that a mass
4 workers sports movement in this
country cannot possibly pattern after
the workers sports movements in the
European countries, where the class
consciousness of the workers, their
political level and their organizational
experience is on a much higher level
than here. The workers sports or
ganization in this country, if It is to
escape. the curse of sectarianism,
must be based on the most elementary
class program-that is, workers con-
trolled sports as against capitalist con-
trolled sports.
1t is true that the existing workers
sports organizations and clubs have
more advanced program than this, be-
cause they are composed OF workers
who are more politically developed.
The Finnish, the Checho-Slovak, the
Hungarian workers sports clubs are
of this kind. But if the workers
sports movement is to grow and at
tract masses it cannot at the present
juncture base itself upon the program
of this most advanced section since
this program would repel the back
ward workers in the clubs that are of
a semi-working class nature.
What are these clubs? Outside Of
the existing out-and-out working class
sports clubs mentioned above in
America peculiar intermediary form
has developed-the union sports clubs.
Thousands of the local unions in this
country have sports clubs and teams
organized, to which only members OF
the union belong and participate
Altho the members who take part in
the activities organized by these clubs
do not consider themselves as work
northumberland they do not look
at things from this class point Of view
yet these clubs are workers sports
clubs in the sense that they are COM
posed of workers who are advanced
enough to be organized. The union
sports clubs, along with some of the
independent neighborhood sports clubs
as are composed of workers and are
somewhat advanced, and some of the
gymnastic and nature societies, these
will compose the bulk of the mass
sports organization when it comes into
existence.

DETROIT, Mich. Oct. 81. Louis
Engdahl, editor of THE DAILY
WORKER, addressed the members
and sympathizers of the Young Work
ers (Communist) League here in Fin
nish Hall on the issues to come be-
fore the 46th Annual Convention OF
the American Federation of Labor
starting Monday at Graystone Hall.
Great interest was shown in the atti-
tude of the A. F. of l.. toward the
youth workers. Many workers in
Detroit are under the impression that
the sessions of the A. F. of L. are
held in secret. All sessions are open
to the public. There is never any
crowding since the number of visit
ors in attendance is always small.

Red Stars Win Soccer
Match; Score Close

The Red Star soccer team of Chi
cago battled all the way down the
line in an exciting game with the J..
P. |. (Jewish Peoples Institute) team
last Sunday.
Good team work was demonstrated
on both sides and the game ended with
a score of 2 to 1 in favor of the Red
Stars. The Red Star team is one of
the many labor sports organizations
springing up in all parts of the coun-

PORTO RICANS IN

WASHINGTON, Oct. 3. - Failure

ed to them by the growers.
Half Starved.
According to kilograms reaching
Pres. Green and the office of Santi-
ago Iglesias. secretary Of the Pan
American Federation of Labor, the
half-starved Porto Ricans arrived in
Arizona with their families under con-
tract with the growers association to
pick cotton. Many of them were not
farm workers but we're skilled me-
chanics of various kinds. The eli
mate of Arizona was unfavorable and
they soon discovered that the rate
they had agreed to work-for was too
low They could not even feed them
selves on their earnings.
The Mexican laborers who had
been coming across the border for
years to do this contemplating in the
season had refused to accept the low
wages any longer. The growers la.
Dor agents who visited Porto Rico
had misrepresented the situation.
Their victims refused to work for less
than the cost of food and threw them
selves on the mercy of the labor I'M
ions in the vicinity. They also tele-
graphed to Green and Iglesias the re-
quest that they warn other Porto Ri
cans against leaying home.
Labor Unions Care For Them.
At Phoenix the central labor body
is now caring for 100 of the Porto Ri
cans while others Of the contract la

local officers who pretend to have the
legal right to prevent their escape"
The tradition of slave labor thus fol-
lows cotton into the newest of the
states regardless of the fact, that the
workers are free men and American
citizens.
The Phoenix labor council asked
Green to bring pressure on the fed

and remedial action As result the
department of labor has ordered
Francis l. Jones, director of its en-
)loyment service, to proceed from
Fort Worth to Phoenix to attempt an
adjustment. The cotton growers are

FLAGSTAFF HIGH B. B.
GIRLS WON AT PRESCOTT
BOYS LOST TWO GAMES

Flagstaff high school girls basket
ball team won its game and the boys
lost both of theirs in the weekend in
vasion of Yavapai county.
The girls in every way out-played
the Prescott high girls Friday
night at Prescott and won 25-19. The
boys were outelassed, losing 45-11.
While the score in the boys game
would appear it was one-sided even
to the extent of being nlonotonous,
such was far from the case, for while
the Flagstaff team was completely
outclassed by the teamwork of the
locals, and handicapped by the loss of
Babe Cameron who was laid up with
sprained ankle, there was plenty of
resistance by the Flagstaff men, and
numerous fouls were called on both
sides.
In the girls game, the Flagstaff
girls bested the Badgerettes in al
most every department of the game.
Greater in strength, they were also
faster, showed fine teamwork, passed
more accurately and knew more about
making baskets than the locSl team.
Two of our girls, Florence Meyer and
Ruth Switzer treated the crowd to
display of basket throwing that was
alone worth more than the price OF
admission.
At Clarkdale next day the Flag
staff boys lost, 35-5.

Vice-President Cooley, speaking for
President Wilson on the outlook for

and with such ready command of wit
that his capture of the audience was
more complete than his own capture
(alleged by himself) many years ago
when he worked at Flagstaff Teach

supposed to be-a state hospital.

Grand Rapids, Mich, is due here

the initiative of the Rotary club,
Or. Barker is going to tell the men
just what a father should be and
what his responsibility to his boys

The doctor is unique and any at

much that should be said. He is a
man of wide experience on the public
platform, and his addresses are of
such an amazing and inspiring char
acter that all who have the oppor-
tunity to do so should hear him.
DR.. Barker makes no attempt at
oratory, but he is a wonderfully in
teresting and electric speaker He
puts the punch of pile driver" into
his words, and drives home with
thrilling illustrations the truths he
upholds. He quickly "gets" an aud
