also for BolsheviEing the Hungarian
section itself.
OF the other problems discussed by
the convention l must mention the
problem of Communist work among
working class women and among the
working class youth. Programs have
been adopted for each Of these phases
Of our activity. We must, however,
impress the Hungarian comrades as
well as the other sections Of the party
that our work among working class
women must be concentrated mainly
on the women employed In shops
The usual practice is to devote most
of the attention to housewives, which
should not be the case. And mas
much as Communist work is carried
on among housewives it should be
linked up with our Communist activi-
ties among the women employed in
shops and factories.
The convention elected bureau of
nine workers to carry on the work of
the organization. 1t might be well to
point out in this connection that there
was a strong sentiment at the conven-
ton to bar paid officials Of the organi-
cation from being elected members OF
the bureau. This sentiment, what
ever it basic reasons, is not a very
healthy sign. The representative of
the central executive committee ex-
planned to the delegates tina. to be a
paid employee Of the party in itself is
no crime to be punished. but that if
some paid officials do not deserve to
be elected on the bureau they GER
tainly are not fit to hold any respon-
sibIe position in the organization.
The convention accepted the point Of
view OF the central executive corr
mittee as expressed in a special
resolution. However, the leading
comrades in the Hungarian section
would do well to examine and remove
the causes producing such senti-
ment.
The Hungarian section Of the party
has before it a great field for work.
BY paying more attention to the basic
industries, by assisting the party in
the process of reorganization on the
shop nuclei basis, by Bolshevizing the
minds Of its own membership, and by
living in closer contact with the life
of the general party organization, the
next convention of the Hungarian sec
ton will undoubtedly register greater
achievements for the Communist
movement in America.

to state the exact truth that while our

enough to bring about q farmer-labor

get powerful we may not need such a

in the basic Industries of the country.
The need for the reorganization on
the shop nuclei basis as well as the
conditions for the success of such re-
organization are very strong in the
Hungarian section.
There were present at the conven-
ton "a delegates representing Hun
garian-speaking branches Of the party.
2 delegates from the National Hun
garian Propaganda Committee of the
Young Workers League, and Z fra
ternal delegates representing the
Hungarian Bureau and various benev-
client and fraternal organizations
among the Hungarian workers.
From the report Of the bureau it
could be seen that the Hungarian Sec
ton participated in every political
campaign of the party and in some
places quite effectively. But the major
activities of the section on the neld
Of Hungarian work were the activi-
ties of the section among the benevo-
lent and fraternal organizations
among the Hungarian-speaking work
srs. In one of these organizations
having a very large membership our
Hungarian comrades were able to
win the practical leadership which
was Of tremendous Importance to the
activities of our Hungarian section.
The convention devoted a large por-
ton of its time to outlining political
and organizational means for the ex-
tension of the influence Of the nun
garian section among other fraternal
organizations, particularly among
those which are dominated by petty
bourgeois leadership.
The convention adopted an exten.
sive plan of education designed to
Bolshevize the Hungarian section. It
is a good program so far as programs
go. From the debate it was apparent
that this was not the first program
of the kind adopted by the Hungarian
section, only it was not as yet put
into effect. There is no reason why
the incoming bureau should not be
able to develop this program of edu-
cation on a really large and effective
scale, particularly since it has for It's
service daily newspaper. the New
Elore. This Hungarian organ of the
party enjoys good reputation among
large sections of Hungarian speaking
workers. BY proper organization
measures the New Elore should prove
an excellent means not only for gain
ing influence among the masses but

PROGRAMS" FOR ACTION
WORDS FOR DEEDS!

ment in Chicago, in which our party
and its members took the initiative
for all the measures propagated by
our party, in the trade unions. But
the credit for these activities fell as
ripe fruit into the pockets of the
reactionary leaders Of the Chicago
Federation of Labor, and earned for
them the fame of extreme progress
sivism. Now, in this conference Of
July 3, 1923, the executive committee
of the party demanded a change. Il
demanded that our party, the Work
ers, the Communist Party should take
its rightful place as the leader Of the
movement. It demanded that the
party come out from under its cover
Of Fitzpatrick's progressivism and
operate as the Workers, the Commun-
list Party. No one in the party closed
his eyes the the fact that this step
might lead to a conflict with FitE-
patrick. The ones that dreaded this
conflict most were the comrades that
were responsible for the united fronf
in Chicago, and that knew that they
had "won" the Chicago Federation Of
Labor thru Fitzpatrick, but that they
had made no attempt to hold Fitzpat-
rick by winning the Chicago Fedora
ton of Labor, the rank and file unions.
Foster condemned that conflict with
Fitzpatrick and preferred a conflict
with the executive committee OF the
Workers (Communist) Party.
From then on the present majority
began its struggle for power in the
party. And the outstanding reason
for this struggle for power was, that
the Foster group wanted to be sure
that in a similar situation like that
Of July, 1923. there would be no Com
munist executive committee Of our
party that would force Foster to break
faith with some Fitzpatrick.
Majorlty's Activities Consist In
Passing Of Resolutions.
AS long as our Trade Union Edu-
cational League confined itself TO the
introduction and the passing Of reso-
lutions for this and that the league
met comparatively little opposition.
The outward acceptance of such reso-
buttons even helped many an arch re-
dictionary labor leader TO get crowned
with a halo OF progressivlsm. The
trouble only started when the Work
ers (Communist) Party did its duty
and initiated action In the place OF
mere propaganda. Our majority Is so
stuck on the idyllic days OF old, when
we introduced resolutions galore but
lived In peace, that they insist on kill
ing the last remnant of any large
scale activity that the party has In
itiated in the past.
TO achieve this end the majority
must discredit the minority. This
they cannot do without trying 10
prove that the minority not only pro.
poses a wrong policy. but that TIE

discussion, digs down deep into mud
to get epithets to hurl at the minority.
All the veneer of gentleness he wears
as a rule falls off him and instead
Of the Communist, discussing with

since our opinion of the majority is
that they are totally unfit for leader

discussion before the membership
and call upon the latter to judge not
their political honesty but the politi-
cal service of the majority.
The issue in the present discussion
is action versus propaganda, cam
paigns versus programs" The issue
is whether the party shall continue
to be a political party, or whether II
should become an educational league.
Labor Party Welcome as Long as We
Only Talk About II.
The labor party issue was welcome
as basis for a campaign by all as
long as this campaign confined itself
to the introduction of resolutions in
trades unions demanding the endorse
ment of the idea of labor party.
But when this educational campaign
was to be turned into one of action.
when the party was called upon to
take lead not only in talking about
the labor party but in actually form
ing it, then the trouble began.
The majority is at present engaged
in proving that the labor party as
such is bad, a dangerous, a damn

Discussion of Our Party's Immediate Tasks

the contents Of the December issue
Of the Workers Monthly in a brief re-
view. To do justice to anyone of the
articles would require at least two
columns. The three articles referred
to are selected because OF the tremen-
dous value to the party Of the present
discussion on the farmer-labor issue.
This question is followed with keen
interest by radical workers not yet
in our party. Both sides are entitled
to and are given unlimited freedom
and opportunity for discussion with
in party bounds Of discipline by the
G. e. G. Ruthenberg's article should
be read carefully and SO should the
articles Of Comrades Foster and Bit
lehman. Our members will thus be
able to form their own opinions as to
which policy is the better for the
Workers Party to adopt. The writer
has not doubt but the overwhelming
bulk of our membership will repudiate
farmer-laborism.
