The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1925-01-12

In order to attain these purposes
we present to the locals and the dis
trict conventions for consideration and
decision the following demands:
b. That the coming national
vention shall express it's strong con
domination of all groupings during
periods between national conventions;
that in selecting the c. E. c. it shall
see that the C. E. C. is not elected on
group basis, and that the members
Of the G. E. G. shall be elected on the
basis of the confidence which the
members elected on the c. E. C. have
earned from the membership by their
work in the Communist movement
and not upon the basis of the heated
passion that certain persons posses
in seeking memberships on the c. E.
c. and hold themselves privileged to
belong to it on the basis of their birth.
rights.
b. That the coming the national
convention shall decrease the member,
ship of the G. E. c. to nine members
and in this manner shall aid us in
securing a better centralized, more
capable and more elastic C. e. c..
which shall be composed of more
mature Communistic elements and
which shall function with less ex
pense. This c. E. c. shall be sufficient
ly large for the working committees
and the machinery of the party and
will have time to plan and prepare
sufficient programs for the masses
which our party has at it's disposal
We deem, at the time, that in a small
/ er actual working machine of this
kind there will not be time nor SC
many reasons for the continued group
! ings.
@ That membership on the c.. E. c.
shall not be dependent upon the pay
roll of the party, so that members of
the G. E. c. automatically feel that
the membership on the committee is
guaranteed position to earn their
bread and butter, regardless of the
needs of the party or the abilities of
the party or the member. Let the
principal condition for eligibility for
membership on the C. E. C. be know
ledge Of the Communist movement.
the zeal to work for the Communist
movement and the ability of the mem
Der, not taking into strict considera-
ton the possibilities to work in the
party offices.
d. That in the arrangement of the
practical party work the C.. E. C. shall
perform a thorough investigation, and
that the aim in this investigation shall
be to draw up good clear working
program, which shall be as simple as
possible, and which shall be in &C
cordance and will go hand in hand
with forces and the abilities of the
party in its outward work. We ex-
pect a very noticeable improvement in
the national Office in changing the
working force for outside organization
work, in so far as the funds of the
party warrant and it's ability make
the latter possible.
e) The offices of the district organ
izers shall not be dependent upon
"pork-barrel politics." which we be-
lieve has been the cause Of the pecul-
lar work entailing and wasteful
methods of continually shifting the
district organizers, in the midst of
which shifting it is impossible to take
into consideration organization work
based upon experience and acquaint-
ance with the territory The work of
the district organizer must be trans
formed into actual organization work,
SO that it shall not be merely an office
for duplicating the correspondence of
the national Office and collecting as
sessments from the membership. The
work of the district organizer should
be measured very accurately by the
