AT the membership meetings in
"A New York, Philadelphia, and Bos-
ton which l addressed on party Boil
shevization and reorganization, there
was manifested a vigorous interest in
the functioning of the party on the
basis of shop nuclei. Many questions
were asked of the speaker about the
party's reorganization program and
its application.
We herewith submit to the general
party membership the most import
ant questions asked and answers to
these questions so that the comrades
of every district may be helped in
the reorganization of their own dis
tricts.
QUESTION 1:-What will the party
do, after its reorganization on the
basis of shop nuclei, with those COM
rades who are professionals? How
will we organize those comrades in
our party who are not working in a
shop?
ANSWER.-First of all, it must be
emphasized and clearly understood
that one of the primary detectives of
the reorganization of our party on
the basis of shop nuclei is to pro-
Ietarianize our party more and more
The more our party consists of the
aroletariat employed in the basic in
lustries of the country, the nearer
will Ot,r r1arfv no IN haoou,fpo macs
7orking class revolutionary political
party. The Workers (Communist)
Party appeals to the proletariat and
% no other class or social group in
society In cases where certain in
dividual professionals indicate their
acceptance of the full Communist pro
gram in all it's implications, they are,
upon special consideration of each
specific case to be admitted into our
party.
Those professionals who are al
ready in our party and who seek to
remain in our party after its reor-
ganization will, in the main be at
tached to street nuclei Special care
will be taken to diffuse these ele-
ments into as great a number of
street nuclei as possible in order to
avoid their concentration in any par
ticular street nucleus. In some spe-
cial instances such comrades, if they
have considerable party experience
may be attached even to a shop nu-
cleus, so that these more experience
ed comrades will be able to help the
less experienced proletarian com
rades organized in the shop nucleus.
Of course, such. direct contact with
the proletariat and his immediate and
other problems will also broaden the
viewpoint of the professional ele-
ments in our party and make them
better party members.
In general, the same procedure will
be followed with other party mem
bers not working in the shops, such
as housewives, domestic help, and
others.
QUESTION 2. - How will party
members who are carpenters or whl
are employed in the building trades
be attached to party units after the
reorganization of the party?
Such comrades may be attached to
party units in any of the three fol
lowing ways;
(a) If three or more of these com
rades are employed in one place or
on one job for any length of time,
they will be organized into a shop
nucleus. In cases where three or
more of these comrades ARE employed
by one contractor, they may be or
ganized into special shop nucleus.
(b) In other instances party mem.
bers who are carpenters or who are
employed in the building trades will
be attached to other shop nuclei in
the industrial section in which they
work or sometimes in which they
live.
(c) Such comrades may also be
attached to street nuclei.
QUESTION BIN cases where
there are party members and Y. w.
L. members employed in the same
shop, will we organize party or Y
w. L. shop nuclei?
ANSWER.-If, let us assume, that
in a certain shoe factory there are
employed two party members an6
one Young Workers League mem
Der, then we will proceed to draw
the young Communist into the part.
and organize a party shop nucleu
without delay. The Young Workers
