ACTION FOR PROGRAMS

my memory, it was four members of
the majority who got up and reported
at least that they had carried on a
fight in their local unions but were
unfortunately defeated. The men,
bers of the minority failed to report
any activity as they did not have any
connections with the labor move
ment.
Let us take the minority all the
way thru during this whole campaign.
Comrade Minor, Comrade Engdahl,
Comrade Ruthenberg, and Comrade
Lovestone, and followers, can shout
fight until they are blue in their face.
1t is a very easy matter to fight be-
hind the scenery of the battlefield in
the party branches, but the first pre-
requisite to the formation of any or
ganization based upon the trade un-
ions necessarily must be that of the
organic connection of the Commun-
lists within these organizations. Com
rade Wicks accuses the majority Of
having responsibility for the death of
the Buffalo farmer-labor party, and
then proceeds to tell that he had
charge of it at that time.
! In other words, Comrade Wicks.
the baby died in your arms. And
please, do not throw that RESPONSE
bility upon the majority.
Why didn't You do something in
the American Federation of Labor.
says the minority, and accuses the
majority of only wanting resolutions
there. Well, unfortunately that was
all we could have inasmuch as we
did not have any of our comrades as
delegates. Comrade Semanoff has a
hum-dinger, and he really rips open
the bankruptcy of the minority thes-
es by stating THE issue of the mi
nority is very clear The minority is
raising the slogan of feminist party.
party of action" In other words.
this is a new departure in Leninism.
when the slogan of a farmer-labor
party is the only slogan that can de-
velop feminist party in America.
Poor Comrade Lenin would sure turn
over in his grave if,he could hear
some of the wonderful interpretations
the minority are using in order to
prove that they follow a feminist pol
icy.
Comrade Amter is again raising
points of order, after he has been rails
ing them in Moscow until Zinoviev
to call him to order for the many i'll
| services he had rendered to the young
American Communist Party.
How dare you" says Comrade Am
ter, drop the policy of the farmer
labor party and come out as the
Workers Party in the election? The
Workers Party can only become a
mass party by adopting the slogan OF
farmer-labor party and by estab-
fishing a bond with the farmers who
are at the present time in a state of
strong fermentation"
Comrade Amter, however, fails TO
point out where this fermentation is
going on among the farmers in this
country, and shows how little he un-
derstands the present situation in
America. He shows as little concep-
ton of the American situation as he
did when he was author of the fam
GUS "Ford-Dubner" theses. l would
propose to relegate Comrade Amter
to position where he is given the
task of writing some long book, or
go back to his profession as a music
teacher instead Of attempting to lead
the Communist movement of America
into the abyss of opportunism.
Yes, Comrade Bedacht, Comrade
Lovestone, Comrade Ruthenberg.
Comrade Semanoff, Comrade Wicks,
and Comrade Amter, action we want
as against programs.
The majority theses points the
road to action which leads to the die
tatorship Of the proletariat.
