for the larger fights. Hitherto the
Party stewards used to be appointed
according to residence, now we must
organize our hundreds in the factor
les. The factory is the only place
where we are able to carry out the
necessary technical preparations for
the struggle. The political propa-
ganda must be concentrated in the
factories. Instead of the usual public
meetings, we should have public fac
tory meetings. The parliamentary
deputies must make their first reports
to factory meetings. The leading fac
tory nuclei, for the purpose of quick
information, should get the political
material direct from the higher in
stances of the parties. The enrol
ment of members must first of all be
carried out in the factories, because
the Strengthening Of the factory nue.
lei is the best preparation for the
fighting ability of the party. OF par
ticular importance is the reorganiza-
ton of the newspaper distribution.
The present method of distributing
the Communist press is by residen-
tial districts. In spite of all the tech
nical difficulties, an attempt must be
made to devise combined system of
distributing the press both thru the
residential carriers as well as thru the
factory distributors. The newspaper
must be brought into close organiza-
tional contact with the factories.
This is of paramount Importance to
all the political actions. The circu-
lation of a newspaper in the factories,
the influence which it enjoys and the
discussion which it arouses, are
bound to effect its contents. At pres
ent we find very few columns in the
newspapers devoted to contributions
by factory workers. In future the
factory reports, workers letters,
workers poems, etc. must occupy at
least half of the space in the news
paper. For this puxpose it is neces-
sary to arrange periodical conferences
Of factory reporters and to give them
the necessary instructions. Syste-
matte education in this respect is es-
sential. The same is the present
method of the distribution of litera-
ture, which should be shifted from
the residential districts to the factor
les. The best way to distribute litera-
ture is thru the factory organization.
We must also transform the present
method of educational work, which
| is also done residentially. Above all,
in the large factories the nuceli must
arrange for educational courses for
their members, as well as for larger
circles of workers in the neighbor-
hood. Our womens propaganda must
be concentrated chiefly among the
women who work in the factory. The
women who do not work in the fac
tory must be brot into close touch
with the factory women of the neigh
borhood. Our women comrades must
take regular part in the meetings Of
the factory nuclei Our agrarian
agitation must be organized on the
basis of the experiences of the last
fights, so that the factory nuclei
should have definite rural localities
where they should engage in syste-
matte and persistent propaganda. II
we succeed in this manner in estab-
fishing close contact with the coun-
try-side, the job Of finding food for
the workers on strike will be much
facilitated. 1t is also necessary to
organize, in the first place, the clos
est possible collaboration with the
factory nuclei Of the Young Com
munists. The Importance of the
young workers during workers fights
should urge the factory nuceli to en-
courage the formation OF the impor-
tant factories; where no nucleus of
the party exists the young comrades
are frequently in position to serve
as medium for communication and
thus to assist in the formation Of the
party nucleus.
