The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1924-11-29

working class will again face the grim
realities Of the class struggle in a
more acute form.
This capitalist victory will be fur
Their consolidated. To reap the fruits
thereof, labor's resistance to increas-
ed exploitation must first be crush
ed. Thus the workers will be called
upon to battle for the life of their
terribly weakened organizations and
once gained. Their immediate task is
to proceed from the present inertia to
vigorous but weIl-planned preparations
to maintain the standard OF living
to meet this situation.
From propaganda to action is the
next task Of the Workers Party. To
lead in these struggles proceeding
from the shops and factories where
the workers will feel the weight of
this further consolidation of the CAPT
talist victory; to give the political di
rection and organize cTective resist
ance to the coming attacks; to lead
in the creation of the organs of re-
sistance-the shop committees and
factory councils; to lead in the &C
tons for relief Of the unemployed
masses and organize and strengthen
the labor unions. These are some o.
the immediate tasks facing the Work
ers Party. The shop nuclei form Of
party organization win make a soIu-
tion possible.
In Constane Touch with Workers.
The shop nucleus will be a perma-
nent organization in constant touch
with the workers. It's problems are
those Of the workers on the job. AS
a combination of militant fighters it
will take up all these problems and
work out the immediate plans Of ac-
ton. AS a basic Communist unit, it
recognizes that the proletarian revo-
luton is the only solution for the la
Dor problem and all its plans are
worked out with that goal in view.
The workers, learning by experience
that only thru active struggle can any
gains be secured, and any relief be
obtained from the pressure of exploit
alton, will soon turn toward the party
shop nuclei for direction and leader
ship.
The obstacles in the path of the
proletarian revolution can only be re
moved gradually by the training, edu-
eating and organizing of the workers
thru the struggles. These obstacles
are present also in the industries
where the trade unions have obtained
a foothold. There the faithful capital
ist lieutenants, masquerading as trade
union leaders. are using all their pow
ers Of persuation to discourage the
workers from entering the struggle
They are making glowing promises to
be fulfilled when the members com
pletely submit to their class collabora-
ton schemes. These schemes vary
from the celebrated non-partisan poll
tical policy to plans like the B. & o.
cooperation plan, proposed by the in
ternational president of the Machin-
lists Union, to make the unions eff
cheney instruments for the railroad
companies; the plan of speed-up and
cheaper production, as proposed BY
Frank Harrington of District IL, Unit
ed Mine Workers. by which the oper-
ators Of the union fields should be
able to compete with the non-union
operators and the plan Of permanent
compulsory arbitration boards set up
in collision with the bosses to have
disciplinary powers, to impose fines,
suspend or expell union members, as
already pursued by the building
trades, to mention a few examples.
Fight Glass Collaboration.
The party Reorganization does not
in the least change it's objects or its
tasks, but it does change the methods
OF carrying them out. While the pres
ent branch formation allows only for
an distract treatment Of such schemes
due to the fact that altho the mem
bers work in the shops, they are scat
tered into many different branches,
thus completely paralyzing any effort
at united action in fha ehono The
