~~ Page Four Organization Meetings CLEVELAND HAS = |PETROIT ENTHUSIASTIC NOV. 7 MEETING “Workers Celebrate the Bolshevik Revolution CLEVELAND, Nov. 11.—The Cleve- land demonstration commemorating the eighth anniversary of the Soviet government was one of the finest and biggest that has been held in this city for years. Altho the weather was very bad, a crowd of about 1,100 turn- ed out and sat thruout the program. listening attentively to the speeches and the entertainment provided by the district commitee. The eighth anniversary celebration was an unusual affair. First of all, we had Comrade Jay Lovestone as the main speaker. Lovestone received an ovation as he stepped on the, plat- form. His speech was a clear analysis of the world situation, the attacks that have been made on Soviet Russia— and the meaning of the Locarno pact, as a new attack on the Soviet repub- lie, Lovestone paid his respects to the police of Philadelphia who attempted to interfere with the meething there on Friday night. Workers Must Control. “I learned a new word in Philadel- phia, They intend to celebrate the Sesquicentennial of the signing of the declaration of independence in Phila- delphia next year. It has not been a declaration of independence, but of dependence for the workers of this country. We workers must sign our own independence—and that will be when we have taken control of Wash- ington, and the flag of the working class is flying in New York, Washing- ton, Cleveland and all over the coun- try,” declared Lovestone. Loyestone pointed out the dangers confronting the workers today—t@e danger of war, the danger of a call for a new invasion of Soviet Russia. He pictured the growth of the Soviet power thru the different years and showed that today the Soviet govern- ment is almost invincible. “The pow- ers have refused to grant Boviet Rus- sia credits. But Soviet Russia can be proud that she has built up her power without the aid of American dollars.” Lovestone’s speech was frequently interrupted by the enthusiastic ap- plause of the audience. Workers Want Unity. “Millions of workers are struggling for trade union unity. The British and the Russian workers recognize that that is the only thing that will prevent a new war,” declared Love- stone, “The workers of several coun- tries whose minds were poisoned by the capitalist press as to what is go- ing on in Soviet Russia, have sent del- egations to that country to see with their own eyes what is going on there. Bona fide trade union delegations from Germany, Great Britain, Norway, Sweden, Denmark have gone to So- viet Russia. It is to be hoped that the day is not so distant when a trade union delegation will go from the United States and see what is going on in the state of the workers and peasants.” Honor Mikhail Frunze. anion NUCLEUS ISSUES BEST SHOP PAPER IN THE COUNTRY HOP Nucleus No. 3, of the Detroit district, organized in the Fisher Body Plant No. 12, in Detroit, Mich., is setting the pace for all the shop nuclei of the party in its activities, In The DAILY WORKER and in the other party campaigns, Shop Nu- cleus No. 3 hag shown its heels to most of the other shop nuclei in the country, But espectatiy fa the matter of get- ting out a shop nucleus paper has this party unit been topndtch. The first issue of the Workingmen’s Shop News appeared October 19. It was a one-page paper. It certainly aroused considerable interest and enthusiasm among the working men. It immedi- ately irritated the boss. HE second issue of the paper ap- peared November 7. [t isa consi- derable improvement on the first is- sue, not only in volume and contents, but also in general make-up. It is a four-page paper, the best of its kind that we now have. It has punch, deals with living questions, and puts across the Communist message quite effectively. if We quote in part from the second issue of the paper: “Every worker on approaching his bench picked up the paper (first is- sue) and read it carefully, folded it, and put it in his pockets, as a preci- ous thing. Later, they gathered in groups of four and five and discussed the contents of the paper, with ap- proval and expressed their desire to regularly have such a paper, with its published facts about slave-driving, sweating, and the damnable piece work system.” “TTOW did the bosses receive the first issue of our paper? The the paper and hung it up on a post. Then he, with an inspector stood aside watching to catch anyone who would step up to read or take the pa- per. But the trap failed. “Take this one illustration. The day following the distribution of the first issue of the Workingmen’s Shop News, the general office of the Fisher Body corporation ordered the foreman and inspectors in the metal finishing department to open the tool box of one of the metal finishers while he was away to try to discover if he was one of the ‘dangerous men’ who was giving information, thru the Work- ingmen’s Shop News, regarding }con- ditions in the factory,” MONG the other topics dealt with in this issue of the paper are: “Our Working Time,” “Send in your Grievances,” giving the address of the Workers Party district office as the place to send grigvances, ‘Lenin, and the Trade Union Movement,” by Losovsky; “What is the Workers (Communist) Party?” “Hunting,” a short but effective complaint against the bosses searching the tool boxes of the different workers in order to’find out who is reading or who is distrib- uting the Workingmen’s Shop News, and finally “Our Paper,” being a fur- ther introduction of the Working- men’s Shop News to the workers in the Fisher Body plant. Every shop nucleus in the country should try to follow the lead of Shop Nucleus No. 3 of Detroit, We must have more shop papers. We must have living active shop nuclei, and there is nothing that can make a shop nucleus a more vigorous party unit than a shop paper.

Frunze, the son of a Turke- stan peasant, gives the lie to their contentions,” declared Amter. “He drove out the agents of the imperialist powers—Denikin and Koltchak—and fought them on the Siberian front. And a head of the Red Army, he proved to the imperialists that no army can ever invade Soviet Russia. And Frunze is succeeded by a metal worker, who up to the present was commander of the garrison of Mos- cow.” The audience rose in honor to Com- rade Frunze, while the Star Mandolin Orchestra, composed of Russian com- rades, played the Russian funeral hymn, Comrade John Brahtin dealt with the meaning of a real government of the workers and peasants, showing what the Bolsheviki understand by a real government, as against the dem- ocrats and mensheviki. Urges Youth to Organize. Comrade Martin Gordon, acting dis- trict organizer of the Young Workers The meeting opened with a mem-|“eague, spoke of the meaning of mil- orial for Comrade Mikhail Frunze, the commander of the Red Army, who re- cently died in Soviet Russia. Com- rade Amter, chairman of the meeting, reviewed the life of Comrade Frunze, | and declared that his life and activi- ties were symbolic of what is taking place in Soviet Russia. “The capitalists always maintain that the workers and poor farmers are NEW YORK WORKERS 10 HOLD EDUCATION WEEK PROTEST NOVEMBER 16 NEW YORK, Nov. 11—The Work- ers (Communist) Party and the Young Workers League are arrang- ing 4 joint meeting for Sunday, Nov. 15, in the Manhattan Lyceum against “education” week at which Pat Toohey, recently released from jail will be one of the speakers. which takes in the followin; Russian, November 12, 8 Hirsch Blvd. if he or she wishes to retain (Communist) Party. reorganization purposes and SECTION SIX (NORTHWEST TERRITORY) Attention!

He declared that every worker should join the ranks of the Young Workers League, which will do everything in its power, should an imperialist war again be declared to open the eyes of the young workers to the meaning of the war and to mobilize them against it. s The enthusiasm ofthe audience was unbounded. It was heightened by the contributions to the program by the Freiheit Dramatic Singing Society, the Star Mandolin Orchestra, the German Liedertafel, the Ukrainian Chorus, the Hungarian Chorus and the Slovak Chorus. The Czecho-Slovakian com- rades gave two tableaux, depicting life in Russia before the ‘revolution and the life of the workers and peasants in the new world—after the revolu- tion. The applause that greeted these two pictures was tremendous. Appeal for DAILY WORKER, A collection was taken up for The out as the only organ in the English language in this country. which car- ries on the fight for the entire work- ing class. “The capitalist newspapers are busy poisoning the minds of the workers as to the“class struggle. It endeavors to make the workers be- lieve that they are not a class against the capitalist class. ‘Americanization’ plans of the government, the Ameri- can legion and other patriotic organ- izations, have as their aim to make the worker forget the class he be- longs to, and believe that all citizens in this country have equal rights. The DAILY WORKER is the organ of the working class of ‘this country, and every frignd and sympathizer with the Communist movement must come to its aid at this critical moment,” de- clared the speaker in his appeal for The DAILY WORKER. The collection amounted to $181. {n addition, a large number of buttons were sold, one sympathizer paying $10 and another $5 for a button. Supper was served in the dining room, having been prepared by the Hungarian and Jewish comrades. Dancing followed and lasted until 11 p. m. ° se 8 The Coal Miners Celebrate.
