Organization Meetings LITHUANIANS DIG DEEP FOR FUNDS TO RESCUE DAILY Bureau Sets Example to Language Sections By V. ANDROULIS, (Worker Correspondent) The bureau of the Lithuanian sec: tion at its last meeting, again took up the financial question of The DAILY. WORKER. The branches of this sec- tion are contributing their share. Also many branches of the Lithuanian ed- ucational and fraternal organizations are responding to the call for help for The DAILY WORKER. That, ‘of, course, proves that the Lithuanian comrades understand the importance of our Communist daily and work for its maintenance. But even then the bureau of the. Lithuanian section is not satisfied. While we have our Lithuanian Com- munist press and have to) wark hi support and maintain it, we also know that The DAILY WORKER is. the chief organ, not only of-our party, but also of all the American workers. The bureau, therefore, again issues a éall to all Lithuanian Communists and workers in general to increase their efforts for the support of the English Communist daily. Not only that, the bureau itself. scraped together a few dollars as,a donation to The DAILY WORKR. To be sure our treasury is empty. In that case, of course, the bureau could hardly afford to contri- bute $10. But every bureau member dug his hand in his pocket and pulled out what was there Comrade Bac- evicius, for instance, pulled out a ten dollar bill and said, “The treasury of the bureau is empty, but The DAILY WORKER must be helped and en‘ abled to continue its fight ‘against all enemies of the workers as it did up to now. The DAILY WORKER is the chief organ of our party and it is an organ of the ‘voting class of Amer- ica. It is our duty to maintain its life and make it strong.” Three bureau members followed him with $3 each, one’ with $2.50, then followed $2, then a dollar and some more dollars. Non-bureau members present also followed the example. Comrade Krasnauskas with $2, others one dollar each. The total was $35.50. All these comrades have already contributed in their branches, some did even twice, but seeing the nec- essity they again responded. We have again and again to come to the support of our own language Communist press, and our comrades know the importance of the Commun- ist press, more so the importance of the Communist daily in the English language. ‘J Comrades, let us increase our ef- forts to help Our daily! _ Wrap your lunck in a copy of GOES OVER IN By MA ; \ \ THE DAILY WORKER pereeeery it? The formation of five shop nuclei, four potential shop nuclei and two street nuclei was the outcome of the section reorganization meeting of Sec- tion No: 2 (Pullman) Chicago, Workers (Communist) Party on Wednesday, October 28, 1925. Nearly 50 members or two-thirds of the membership in this section were present when Comrade Martin Abern, district organizer took up the party réorganization. After the preliminaries, actual work of reorganization took place. One shop nucleus, having at present 19 members, was org: ed in the Pull ‘man Car ‘eémpany. fm the Ford auto- hmobile ‘works a nucleus of ‘eight was formed and then two housewives and a meat dealer were attached to func- tion withthe automobile nucleus. In one of the railroad shops, six members were found to be working together. Additional Shop Nuclei Being Formed The remaining comrades were found to be working either alone, at the mo- ment, or were at occupations such as domestic work, etc. There were placed into street nuclei. One street nucleus which was form- ed has 13 members and Street Nu- cleus No. 2 has 11 members. Both of atiito | tliese ‘street bee noted many »com- ti rades working in steel, railroad plants and other industries where possibil- ities of shop nuclei organization are excellent and these comrades are ex- pected to get on the job to form shop nuclei as quickly as possible. As soon as the formation of additional shop nuclei by members now organized in street nuclei is achieved, the remain- ing street nuclei members will be at- tached to other shop nucle ito aid in shop nucleus organization. This has already been done in the case of the Ford nucleus. Absent Comrades to Be Reached Comrades are being assigned to reach those members who were absent from the meeting so that they can be registered and* organized into shop or street (nuclei. Si Shop nuclei organizhtion in the Pull- man section of Chicago should meet with marked progress and success, when the comrades have agauainted themselves more with the shop nuclei work, * This section is highly proletarian and the vast majority of members work in the basic industries, such as steel, railroad and automobile indus- tries The comrades,jn. the Pullman Car nucleus have been organized for some time and are now proceeding to draw in new blo ‘Similarly the Ford plant nucleas been organized and also one of the nuclei in the large steel Possibilities for develop- ing larger units in the railroad shops appear good. : Membership in.

A revolutionary proletarian viewpoint prevails and this can be developed into mass Com- munist activity in Pullman. ‘The steel corporations and the Pull- man Car slave-driving outfit have done everything in their power at all times to crush any attempts at union organ- ization and they have been successful despite the strong resistance at many times by the workers in their at- tempts to organize. The registration showed only four members belonging .to the unions in this steel bulwarked open shop town. Thege belong to the barbers, carpent- ers and Amalgamated Clothing Work- ers. Need to Unionize Members In the Pullman Car company the employee plan of representation has prevailed. This has been nothing but a company union of the vilest and worst sort, and at all times organized in the interests of the corporation. There are many comrades, how- ever, who are now in a position to, the party organization is to get these comrades wherever possible vo join unions and to lay a basis for greater unionization later. Each of the units organized either on the shop or street nuclei plan, im- mediately elected temporary officers and organized a provisional section committee: This provisional section committee met Sunday-morning to take up some of the immediate organizational tasks. Develop Leaders Immediate Necessity An immediate task will be to de- velop a few leading comrades who can take over the technical direction of the various shop nuclei. Meetings mus tbe held) régiilarly if the nuclei are to function and to live. In the section meeting last night, a number of ints of activity were discussed, su¢fi as the need of getting more comrad@ to write of their ex- periencts, the of the workers in the shops and at the earliest moment to issue a bullet! In a number of smaller nu¢lei, t¥®. first order of busi- ness must Be recruiting of more new members, igher party units must give co! int help and direction to the work of the shop nuclei in or- der that they may swiftly feel confi- dent of their ability to carry on gen- uine Communist work in the shops and build the’ party. Comrades present at the meeting felt satisfied with the change and strongly believed that the reorganiza- tion will benefit the party greatly, however difficult the work may be at the beginning. A few members may be lost, but their loss will not be felt and the new members gained will more than make up. Nuclei Take up Campaign The Pullman comrades are orgen- ized in a number of steel nuclei which makes many of their problems com- mon, altho organized in different shops, The same holds true for those working in the automobile and rail- road shops. This will make the plan- ning of the work much simpler than in other sections where industry is much more diversified. The Pullman. comrades are taking up some immediate party campaigns, such as building International Labor Defense and preparing for the eighth anniversary meeting of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics to be held in Pullman on Noy. 8th. Section meetings in Local Chicago have now been held in Section No. 1 and Section No, 2. Section No. 5 (North Side) meet the day following the Pullthan meeting and will be re- ported on at a later date. Following the North Side Section (No. 5) meet+ ing, Section No, 3 (the Stockyards ter- ritory) will hold its meeting on Wed- nesday, Nov. 4th in Vilnis Hall, 3116 So: Halsted St. Your neighbor will appreciate the favor—give him this copy of the DAILY WORKER.

MUSSOLINI IN “SPEECH BOASTS OF TERRORISM Workers Preparing to Challenge His Power ROME, Italy, Nov. 3.—The bombas- tic arch-demagog, Benito »Mussolini speaking in commemoration of the third anniversary of the fascist march on Rome before an audience of black- shirts that filled the La Scala Opera House, declared that his regime would never be overthrown except by force, and defied the political enemies who imagine they can use parliamentary machinery to dislodge him, “This regime cannot be overthrown except by force. Our opponents be- lieve themselves able to overthrow us with little groupings of lobbyists, with little rivers of more or less dirty ink, but they are fooling themselves. Ministries pass, but a regime born of violence realizes all its conquests.” After this piece of arrogance, the bloody dictator said that fascism had certainly suppressed its enemies and imposed a “rigid discipline” upon the nation. Then with the demagogy typical of his utterances he boastfully asserted that “fascism would vanquish inter- national plutocracy warring against Italy's interests as it has crushed the internal enemy.” This is a veiled threat to Britain for taking a stand against Mussolini on the question of Jugo-Slavia, which gov- ernment Mussolini has been threaten- ing. Century of Power. “The last century was the century of our independence; this century must be that of our power, power in every field. Every one of you must consider himself a soldier, a molecule, feeling and pulsating with the entire organism,” concluded Mussolini. Against this vain boasting of the half-insane dictator, the workers are steadily strengthening their forces to- ward the time*when they can accept Page Five Your Union Meeting First Wednesday, Nov. 4, 1925.

Y, MEETS SUNDAY Calls Building and Power House Labor By P. J. McCLELLAN. NEW YORK CITY, Nov. 3. — The Amalgamated Public Service Work- ers’ Union, departments of power plants and building maintenances have arranged a series of open mass meetings to be held in different sec- tions of Greater New York, These meetings are for the purpose of educating both the organized and unorganized to the principles of indus- trial unionism and the need of unity among the various crafts in the in- dustry, and particularly to explain the need of one general organization covering the entire industry. Meeting Next Sunday. The first meeting will be held at Labor Temple, 243 East 84 St., Sum day, November 8, at 8 p. m., and among the speakers will be P. P. Cos- grove, Chester W, Bixby, Thomas Barker, J, O. Bentall and others prom- inent in the labor movement, P, J, Mc- Clellan will be chairman, Thousands of leaflets are being dis tributed inviting all engineers, fire- men, superintendents, repairmen, ele~ vator operators and all other work- ers employed in factory and office buildings, power plants, apartments and public and private buildings and institutions to attend. Any questions concerning the union or the industry will be answered by the speakers and the chairman, Growing Steadily. The Amalgamated Public Service Workers’ Union, which has grown steadily despite unfavorable condi- tions in the industry, expects to cre- ate thru the medium of this series of mass meetings the sentiment neces- sary to unify all crafts for action. The drive of the bosses for lower wages and longer hours, the break down of the spirit and loss of mem- bership of the craft unions, and the growth of the Amalgamated Public Service Workers’ Union in the mean- time makes this the opportune time for concentrating on educating and organizing the mass of the workers in the industry, The union is confident that a more powerful union will result from these activities, and all interested workers should get in touch with the com- mittee, 350 East 81 street, or phone Lenox 6878.
