Page Four LENINGRAD PORT RETURNS TO OLD TIME EFFICIENCY Ice-Breakers Make Way For Wheat Ships (By Rosta News Agency) LENINGRAD, April 3—The port of Leningrad (Petrograd) is gradually becoming the ‘best organized and bus- iest harbor of the Union of Soviet Republics, The 1923 shipping season was very successful. Its results ex- ceed the total of the figures of the two preceding shipping seasons. After ten years of disorganization the port worked in 1923 without any interruptions. During this season 355 ships left the port—which is twice as much as during the two pre- ceding seasons. 4 Grain Export. It was the first time since the revolution that millions of poods of Russian grain were exported abroad thru the port of Leningrad. Russian grain is now at the fore as a power- ful economic factor on the foreign markets, As regards imports 736 vesesls en- tered the port in 1923. During the first shipping year (1921) 312 ships entered the port, during the second year—644. The goods imported to Russia during the Summer in 1923 were mainly foreign coal. (13,000,- 000 poods), technical material, loco- motives, etc. Of foodstuffs only an insignificant quantity of sugar was imported. In_1922 foodstuffs formed a considerable part (17,000,000 poods) of the entire import figure, while in 1921 they formed almost half of all the imports. In 1923 there were no delays in loading and unloading the ships. Mechanical devices have been intro- duced. Loading and unloading have been organized in such a way that during the whole season the. time schedule of the ships has not been ex- | ceeded by even one hour. The port harbored at the same time up to 50 steamers and was successful in giv- ing them all satisfactory service. Dredging In Harbor. The technical improvements of 1923 consisted in a full cleaning up of the land and water area of the port, and in extensive dredging oper- ations which greatly extended the mooring possibilities of the harbor. The port has been brought back ‘to its pre-war condition. It can accom- odate every day 100 steamers, i. e., four times more than in the preced- ing seasons. A magnificent iron and concrete storehouse has been con- structed. Nothing has remained now of the pitiful condition which the port presented between 1919 and 1921. During the winter the port will re- ceive and dispatch 350 steamers and will handle 84 million poods of export and import freight. As in the past year the giant ice-breakers “Lenin,” “Yermak” and “Sviatoger” which have been completely repaired, are used for ice-breaking. They are aided by a squadron of small ice- breakers. &..© DAILY WORKES Friday, April 4, 1924 | Your Union Meeting First Friday, April 4th, 1924 Name of Local and Place of Meeting.

WiTl THEY CONDUCTED - BY TH Youth Views By HARRY GANNES Young Workers Think Shop Nucleus Is New Kind of Food. 6@QHOP NUCLEUS? What is that something to eat,” That's about the way the average young fellow in the factory greets the name for the basic form of Communist or- ganization. No, shop nucleus is not something to eat; drink or wear. In reality it is a very simple term. It is new and that is why it is hard to understand and especially to recognize as impor- tant for workers, young and old. “Nucleus” is the scientific name for the kernel or the life center of any living body. Shop nucleus would mean the “life center of the shop.” The shop nucleus so far as Commun- ists are concerned means that we should have our organizational units in the shop where they are to act as the centers of life and energy of the working class. Accepted Form of Organization. Since the fast convention, the Young Workers League has been putting a lot of time and energy inte this work of transferring the territorial branches into the shop. Ewen the Workers Party has once or twice winked favorably on the shop nuclei form of organization. Sooner or later this will be the all-absorbing ik. For the Young Workers League which moves a little faster and has the historic reputation of being “pure,” the shop nucleus transfor- mation becomes the pivot of all ac- tivity. Just why is this so? The plan of the nucleus is to transfer all activi- ties to the shop. Well, when consi- dering anti-military- work we must think of how to carry out our propa- ganda in this sphere. Naturally when ‘we are organized on the basis of the shop, the first thought is: start your anti-military work among your fel- low toilers—in the shop. And the same is true of all other league and work. ee of Masses. Leadership Therefore, it is not surprising at all to find the Young Workers League glibly spouting about nuclei, nuclei and more nuclei. Too much cannot WORKERS | UNG WORKERS LEAGUE be said about nuclei. A day will come when the term Communist shop nuclei will mean leadership to the masses of American workers; and in its small but necessary way the Young Workers League is in all earn- estness planning the success of its shop campaign.

Attempt to De-Oil Members of Congress Ends in Failure (By The Federated Press) WASHINGTON, April 8—When Senator Frazier, of North Dakota, asked for immediate consideration of lis senate joint resolution 74, which ealls upon all senators, ccngressmen and other federal officials drawing more than $3,000 a year to file a public statement of their holdings of oil stocks and other investments, Senator Curtis, of Kansas, object- ed. The resolution went to sleep in committee, Frazier said that the disclosures made in the cil and other investige- tions had justified the suspicién of the people that this is a government “of, by and for the financial inter- ests,” and shat public cfficials who are not afraid of being found out should be glad of an opportunity to publicly report their holdings of stocks, bonds and other ownership that might be favorably affected by their official acts.

A farmer in this town shipped a carload of hay to Joliet, Ill, and the charges on 816 bales, weighing 34,200 pounds amounted to $312.25, which ig nearly a dollar a bale. The mar- ket price of hay was $19.00 per ton of 20 bales The farmer, found that he had lost heavily on the transaction, his receipts from the hay not quite cov- ering the freight costs.

Are these “unintelligent and uninformed men, and are their cpinions to be held as ‘puerile sneers’ and ‘unex- plained abuse?’ ” Praised Bach Once. The condemnation of the “old masters” quoted above, coming from men who knew beyond cavil whereof they thought and spoke is far stronger than anything this writer has published in the DAILY WORK- ER. Comrade Milder may remember that we praised highly J.. 8. Bach’s “St. Matthew's Passion,” and we should have given the stamp of our most important approval to Han- del’s oratorios and the symphonies of Mozart end Haydn had any been performed. Yes, Comrade Milder, we are biased in favor of the moderns. We would much sooner hear Prokofieff’s “Love For Three ranges” over again than Gluck’s “Crpheus.” And Gustay Mahler’s seventh symphory would attract us far more power- fully than the “Jupiter” of Mozart.

The following editorial is from the Wyoming Labor Journal, official organ of the Wyoming State Federation of Labor, James Buckley, editor. Leading Law Official The attorney general of the United States, thundering against striking shopmen in Federal Judge Wilkerson’s court, is one picture. The same official in the seclusion of a Florida hotel, while the Teapot Dome scandal rocks the nation, is another picture. The attorney general threw the shopmen’s case into an equity court because he said, he wanted “quick action.” The shopmen’s rights were not considered, Their plea for justice fell on deaf ears. They were charged with conspiracy, condemned and enjoined. The government spent millions to break their strike and the attorney general proclaimed his allegiance to the anti-union ‘shop. But> worse than all this, the attorney general caused government by injunction to be substituted for government by law. ‘ In the Teapot Dome case the same individual is a different attorney general. He gives no interviews to newspaper men, He does no heroic pose about “government by law.” No injunction process is suggested, and out of the welter of corruption that oozes from the senate probe comes whispers that the law is shaped to permit escape. It is whispered that the Teapot Dome oil lease in itself can not be proven criminal and that it will be hard to prove‘the money transactions were illegal, as these are alleged te be loans, payable on demand. Tho the oil lease may be canceled, the lease holders have unloaded. They have sold stock to the public and have secured the cash, while others “hold the bag.” 7 Individuals of small importance may be punished after being discredited in the public eye, but the “higher ups” will not be reached. The usual policy is to secure a few victims of little standing, or of temporary popular- ity, who will be used to appease popular wrath. oa The “higher ups” are the inner circle, the respectable citizens who grease the political machine, suggest candidates, judges, or department heads, who shape policies and who “rig” the stock market when the trap is ready. Various sums“alleged to have passed between parties in the public eye is but cigarette money as compared with the $100,000,000 that Teapot Dome is claimed to be worth to~its private exploiters, It may be said that a public official can not apply the shopmen’s prg- cedure to the Teapot Dome case. a 2 Labor does not ask this.
