Rules for Guidance.

For the present we must be guided
by the following rules:
Il. General policy.
I'VE, or the G. l.. of a. section of
the CT, are to have undisputed con-
troll of the open organization. 1t is
our legal expression. 1t must be, how
ever, not a mechanical control. Such
would only be harmful. to the organ
ization. 1t must be controlled through
numbers, through better organization,
through activity, through fusion with
the open organization. This control
must be used not for particular sect
interests but for the development of
mass organization.
There must be no talk of liquida-
ton. Instead, we must strengthen our
machinery and recruit every active
mcmBer into it's ranks, making her or
him party of the American Section
of the Communist Internationale, and
so making easier and with little con-
fiict the control OF the open organiza-
ton II as Communists we cannot
win over the more active members of
the No. then we are not worthy OF
the name. This must not be the ma
chine rule. The control must be more
real than apparent. The actual car
rying out of this instruction must be
left to the intelligence of the member
ship. No minute laws can be laid
down.
"2. District committees.
District commanders of No. ] will
function as District Commanders OF
No. 2 except where it is advisable or
necessary to have others.
when DEC of No. ! and No. 2 are
the same, there are no difficulties.
There DEC OF No. 2 consists of ma
jority of all of DEC No. / and additional
No. l members. not members of DEC
No. /, the other members Of No. l."
Government agents, according to re-
ports on tile in the office of the Dis
trict Attorney at Chicago, show the
system worked out by the Communist
party for the Workers party. New
tactics plannede for the open Commu-
mist party were:
The Workers party of America was
TO be directed by the Executive Com
fnittee of the Communist Internation-
ale. 1t was TO pay close attention to
country. The Hoover Conference for
the relieef of unemployment was Sc
diously attacked and the "out of work
association" scheme which was insti-
tuted in Great Britain after the Ar
mistice was utilized. The radicals advo-
Gated that employment bureaus be In
stituted by the Government to work
in conjunction with the labor unions, no
fees being charged to applicants. The
advocacy of soldier bonus was en-
ployed as means of winning over ex-
soldiers. The housing Of the unem-
ployed, extension of public works and
trade with Russia were other weapons
used in the unemployment campaign.
Negro a Militant Element.
The Communist party of America
considers the negro a very militant
element. 1t started out to organize a
center capable of influencing the ne
gro masses, organizing them for the
coming struggle. Their plan was to
induce some OF the colored adherents
of the Communists to join any organ
ization where the negro masses were.
The desire for enjoyment, dances, ex-
ercise, songs, music, games, parties,
&C.. which is a very simple and impor-
tant factor among the negroes. was
not overlooked in propaganda and
plans.
The following policy was to be used
in reference to the railroad brother
hoods:
Il. Liquidation of brotherhoods as
cooperative institutions.
20. Afiliation with the A. +. of l..
"3. One organization of the four
brotherhoods.
~. Removal of the old leaders"
The agrarian program was one of
