Party Functions of Nucleus Members

It would be preferable to distribute
the work in such way that every
member should have only one kind of
work to do. But if circumstances de-
mand, and when it is useful, several
kinds of work may be assigned to one
person.
MANY more kinds Of work could
A'A be enumerated which nucleus
members could perform. With a ra-
tional distribution of party duties all
party members will have definite work
to do, and this will bring them into
contact with the factory workers.
In this way the factory nucleus will
not be isolated from the workers, it
will be easy to draw the best elements
among them into the party and finally
it will be possible to agitate system
atically in the works and factories
against the social democrats and other
opportunist labor" parties.
TN carrying out party duties the party
1 members will be drawn into party
life and will become active members.
This, Of course, will be achieved only
if the nucleus bureau itself is active,
if it will give instructions and indi-
cate how the work is to be carried out
and If it will supervise the execution
of the tasks given to the respective
members of the nucleus. The nucleus
bureau should receive reports from
the various comrades on their party
work already carried out, or in the
course of achievement
The most important Of these re-
ports should be also placed before
the general meetings Of the party nu-
cleus. The nucleus bureau has to pre-
pare the agenda for the nucleus meet
ings very carefully. It must secure
reporters on the questions on the
agenda and must prepare it's own pro-
posals in regard to these questions.
The nucleus bureau has to carry out
promptly all decisions Of the nucleus,

show them how untruthful their own
party papers are.
"Four comrades are instructed to
make up a list by sthe end Of Janu-
AIRY Of all those wishing to subscribe
to our press. At present we are en-
gagged in collecting material for the
publication Of the first number of
our factory paper.
"WoRk In the factory nucleus pre-
W sents some practical difficult
ties because comrades are aceus-
toned to the old forms of organiza-
ton. But the Importance Of factory
nuclei consists In the fact that they
give an opportunity to bring all
comrades into the work. Moreover,
the nucleus itself works systematic
ally and everyone Of it's members
does definite branch Of party work
under the control Of the nucleus"
TN the same number Of Rude Pravo
4 we find the following statement in
letter from tobacco factory: "Nu-
cleus work has the advantage that the
entire party work does not devolxe ais
before on one or two comrades, but
is distributed among every member OF
the nucleus, each one of 3them doing
a definite task, which is very valuable
from the point of view of party edu-
cation"
TT cannot be otherwise. AS soon as
L nuclei come into being in the works
and factories, their members immedi-
ately realize the superiority Of this
kind of organization over the old form
of organization. Once adopted, they
will not relinquish it. On the con-
trary, they do their utmost to make
nuclei live organs, capable Of attract
ing and absorbing the best elements
of the factory. In order to achieve
this, they distribute the party work
among all their numbers. Our slogan
should be: mo party members with
out duties or outside. party nuclei"

BY TOM MATTHEWS.

CAPITALISM out here in the sticks
- has found a pair Of invaluable
allies, the church and the fraternal
order. No better servants are to be
found, unless we include the labor
bureaucrats, for the work OF dividing
the workers against each other and
turning their attention away from the
issues of the class struggle.
Consider, for instance, the recent
school board election here in Du-
buque. What was the issue?
DROTESTANT versus Catholic! Not
4 republican or democrat, not CAPT
tai or labor, but a straight-out fight
over religious humbug, with the work
ers of Dubuque fighting each other
even inside their organizations.
Then there are lodges. 1t seems
that practically every unionist in
these parts is member of from one
to five fraternal orders, such as Elks,
Masons, Moose, etc.
WHAT does the worker derive from
w his lodge affiliations? Uniforms,
insignia, degrees, titles, and the right
to pay admission to the "blow-outs" of
his respective orders.
So it may be said that the Main
Street unionist is, first, a member of
his church; second, a member of his
lodge; third and last, a worker and
member of his union.
before arriving at snap judgments
regarding this deep-rooted condi-
ton, we must take into consideration
that the only cultural expression open
to these workers is through the church
and fraternal order.
These organizations fill, in some de-
gree, the instructive yearning of the
working class for social and cultural
expression.
ME Communists must sooner or
w later awaken to the /. fact that
mere broadsides Of denunciation and
truth-telling will not alone suffice to
break the hold which the church and
fraternal order has succeeded In so
artfully fastening upon tbe6brain and
imagination Of the average American
worker. A'N 1 4S0
We must, instead, point out the
sham of the culture" offered by the
priests and mystic mobiles. We must

workers toward the vision OF the

a prOletarian culture based upon work
ing class vision and working class sol
idarity.
THE fraternal order offers the mer-
= est sham, the cheapest imitation
of culture. Fancy-colored uniforms,
silly headgear, stupid ceremony, bar
barian titles. A fancy wrapper, but
no loaf.
Communism win replace this stupid,
capitalist culture" with proletarian
culture which will give the worker
the opportunity for self-expression
which he Graves but tries to satisfy
with blah-blah and tinseI.
The church pretends to offer the
worker a spiritual escape" from
the monotony of life, together with
social contact with his fellow-man.
USUALLY, the fraternal order wins
- the loyalty Of the slave; the church
wins the loyalty Of the slaves wife
and children. Not even the families
of Communists are exempted. Taking
advantage of the desire Of the human
being for some form of social life and
culture, the spell of the capitalist sys-
tenn gradually gains its hold.
First the children of the worker
succumb to the magic lure. then the
wife, finally the worker himself falls
into the trap.

give a few quotations from the central
organ Of the Czecho-Slovakian Com
munist Party, Rude Pravo, of Febru-
airy 5, 1925. The letter from the nu-
cleus Of sugar factory in Central Bo-
hernia contains the following state
ment:

of the nucleus during dinner. We
decided that everyone of US four
would have to bring one eomrade in
the next three days. And thus we
were eight. Our factory employs
$50 workers, 80 of whom are already
members of the nucleus. But this
did not satisfy us, and we therefore
decided that by the end Of January
every nucleus member was to Sc
cure one new member for whom he
would make himself responsible. We
have elected a bureau and have
elaborated a series of proposals for
the general meeting Of the factory.
