THE DAILY WORKER, NEW YORK, FRIDAY, JUNE 17, 1927 Schools Discriminating Against Indians, Says Northwestern Federation BELLINGHAM, Wash., June 16. —One hundred per cent Americans are refused admittance to public schools in certain districts in this state and yet. neither the American Legion nor the Rotarians are tear- ing their shirts about it. The protests are coming from the Northwestern Federation of American Indians in session here, whose members declare that their children are discriminated against.

MOSCOW, June 1 (By Mail).— The departmental nuclei of/the Com- munist Party nucleus are set up in larger factories where more than one department of the factory contains a sufficient number of party mem- bers. The departmental nuclei carry on the same work within the depart- ment, or separate shop of the fac- tory, that the factory nuclei perform for the factory as a whole. “Within the department the Departmental Nucleus performs the same functions as are performed by the general fac- tory nucleus within the confines of the party members and mainly of young members and candidates who are engaged as bench workers. The activities of such workers must be in- creased as well as their knowledge, sense of unity; their education, their qualifications; their work must be submitted to the supervision and guidance of the entite factory nuc- leus. “(d) The general party nucleus is brought into closer contact with the! departmental nuclei and with the in- dustry as a whole, because the meet- ings of the departmental nuclei dis- cuss’ various, topics taken directly out der which his client is charged is unconstitutional, in that it specifies |] no standard of objectionableness {| by which to judge the matter || printed, It might be compared, he || argues, with a law prohibiting fast driving, without defining what |] speed is legal.

In the Moscow River Textile fac-| tory, mentioned in the’ previous ‘ar-| ticles, which employés 1,500 workers, | there are three departmental nuclei, one in the weaving department, one in the dyeing shop, one in the ma- chine and operating department. The | Bureaus of the departmental nuclei in this factory consist of 5 members and two candidates, and the function- aries include, one secretary of the departmental nucleus, one organizer for work among women (over one half .of the empolyes of this factory are women workers), an agitprop organizer, group organizers and a Comrade attached to the work of the oung Communist League.

Try One Like This. The great heat of the last few days made it impossible for the-busy De- fense Workers to hold the usual meet- ings and affairs. The steaming popu- lace could think of nothing but to run off to the parks and seashore for a breath of fresh air, wheih would have made any attempt at a regular meeting a failure, So it was decided that nothing could be done anti no meetings were arranged. However, the desire to help is so great that even in the parks the workers congregate into large crowds and discuss the Sigman Schachtman betrayal. From this to regular or- ganized discussion meetings with a regularly elected chairman and or- derly discussion is but a step, and this step was first taken at Crotona Park, Recently the Bureau of the Kamov- niki Rayon (section or district) par- ty committee conducted an investiga-j tion of the work. of the departmental nuclei in their district (one of the six sections or districts into which Mus- cow is divided, not only for party units, but for governmental! institu- tions as well. For example each ray- | on has’ its post office. There is a ray- on Soviet in each section) and after the investigation a resolution was passed summing up the work of the departmental nuclei. The Bureau came to the conclusion that: What Is Accomplished. “(a) the department nuclei help in the non-party workers; the party in- fluence is asserted among them; the wants and opinions of the non-party workers can more easily be deter- mined so that they can be gradually drawn into practical social work. “(b) the department nuclei help in extending the controt of the general factory nuclei and extends the con- trol over non-party workers engaged in working in the various depart- ments. The closest contact is also established between the non-party workers, trade unions, social organ- izations, and the nucleus. “(e) the departmental nuclei contri- bute a great deal towards the most full and expedient utilization of all Bronx. Of course, the Defense situa- tion was taken up with result that Brother Louis Klinman was able to report to the Joint Defense Committee Office that a sale of Coney Island Stadium Concert tickets brought $96. Another active in this work who deserves honorable mention is known thruout the Park as “Sam, the Red” to whom the committee wishes to ex- press its gratitude for the work and the idea. * At the Crotona Park meetings th chief speaker who has proved him- self an able fighter for the life of the union, is the 72-year old Mr. Rosen, a well-known figure in this park. t bated but must really work their problems out; Industrial and admin- istrative questions must also be dis- cussed by the general meetings of the departmental nuclei. The depart- ment nuclei must guard against showing tendencies toward becoming guild organizations and against iso- lation from the general factory nuc- leus, “Petty guardianship in the supres- sing of every initiative and activity must be avoided.” One case is point- ed out where this guardianship went to the extent of the feneral factory. nucleus making up a sterotyped or- der of the day for all department nuclei which tended to decrease the interest of the members in these meetings. Rports on the departmen- tal nuclei must be read at the bureau meetings of the general factory nuc- leus. The factory nucleus must give definite instructions to the depart- instruction for: the “working out of a plan” or to “take notice.” The resolution concludes, “The au- thority of the department nuclet must be asserted, thus aiming that the departmental nucleus should put before itself the same tasks as the general factory nucleus; the first do- ing it on department scale, and the latter, of course, on the scale of factory life as a whole.” (This para- graph is quoted from the resolution of the 18th party conference). In the Moscow River Textile fac- tory, the three months plan of work for March, April and May, 1927, in- cludes (point 8) a statement on de- partmental nuclei. It is planned, “To reorganize the departmental nuclei in connection with the trasfer of a number of comrades from the bleaching to the weaving department and to organize a nucleus in the machine and business departments.” A number of purely local problem: relating to factory nuclei are the dealt with. A great deal of atten tion has been paid to the |lice in the strike district. The meet- |ing was held for the purpose of see- jing if some arrangement could be made‘ in reference to future picketing. The police inspector wanted the strikers to restrict themselves to 35 pickets on each side of each block. To this Shapiro would not agree, de- manding the right of the union to have at least 50 pickets on each side of every block. The conference ad- journed without accomplishing any- thing. Look for Relatives. Many relatives of the arrested strikers appeared at the office of the Joint Board last night to inquire as to their whereabouts, They were in- dignent when informed of the unfair attitude taken by the magistrate in asking for excessive bail.
