energy behind the Irish Workers and
Peasants Famine Relief Conference
and every effort will be made to get
affiliations Of labor unions and other
working class organizations to the
conference.
Work in the Unions.
A spirited discussion took place on
ways and means to get more Of the
trade union comrades active in the
unions and the Trade Union Educa-
tional League and to get others into
the union.
The work in the building trades,
carpenters, metal and needle trades
groups is Of paramount Importance
and has greater possibilities for the
/ development of left wing movement
in the trade unions than was ever
before possible,
The building trades comrades are
listing the party branches explain
ing the work and every cooperation
should be extended
In the needle trades the T. U. q. L.
group decided to isue leahet thru
the Amalgamated group on the coming
agreement. The issue in the Anal
gamated today is clear; it is Hillman-
ism versus the left wing and the
Communists.
In all of these unions the fight for
reinstatement of the expelled has TAX
en- on a militant and national char
acter. The coming pamphlet expos
ing the corruption of the Hutcheson
\ machine in the Carpenters Union
promises to be scOrcher and many
orders are already coming in for this
pamphlet.
Labor Defense Council activity is
being pushed thru the unions and our
speakers are appearing wherever pos
sible, and where our comrades are on
the job to get them the floor. The
t. U. e. L. groups are preparing to
push THE WORKERS MONTHLY in
the unions,
The North Side English branch, as a
starter, has decided that every mem
Der Of the branch must get at least
three copies of the Workers Monthly
each month and, further to push the
Communist work in the trade unions
has decided, altho the comrades in
this branch are already more active
than the others that anyone failing tc
} attend a union or It. U. e. l.. meeting
, in the needle. building, printing and
} metal trades is automatically sus
! pended from the party for three
months. This is good example fo1
other branches to follow and will nc
doubt do a great deal towards getting
our party members active in the un
ions, the basic organs of the class
struggle.
The T. U. E. L. page covers the un
, ion activities in detail and an en-
deavor is being made to see that every
, group has its correspondents. Com
rades who fail to attend unions are
being made to run the gauntlet in the
branches and city central committee
This is especially necessary be
cause in some local unions, on tn,
question of expelled carpenters ant
| labor defense work as well as cleo
tions to executive boards; the lef
wing lost out from two to five votei
and absent party members would have
been sufficient to carry the results
in our way.
The DAILY WORKER drive is men
toned elsewhere in these columns.
7, Propose to Form shop Nuclei
Branches.
On shop nuclei the city centra
committee instructed the nuclei de
partment to proceed with the district
ing of the entire city in order az
| quickly as possible to form shop nu
! clei branches out of the existing shol

the city central committees, conven
tions, etc, in place of shop nucle
units. This is in accordance with tn,
organizational form of nuclei.

on contents and make up of the lang
: uage press.
