The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1925-11-05

a tack factory, two unemployed steel
workers and number Of general Ia
borers, one stenographer, one timer
and five housewives.
From this classification 1t is plain
that potentialities for Communist
work are very good. A revolutionary
proletarian viewpoint prevails and
this can be developed into mass Com
munist activity in Pullman.
The steel corporations and the Pull
man Car slave-driving outfit have done
everything in their power at all times
to crush any attempts at union organ
ization and they have been successful
despite the strong resistance at many
times by the workers in their at
tempts to organize.
The registration showed only four
members belonging to the unions in
this steel bulwarked open shop town.
These belong to the BARRIERS, carpent-
ers and Amalgamated Clothing Work
ers.
Need to Unionize Members
In the Pullman Car company the
employee plan of representation has
prevailed. This has been nothing but
a company union of the vilest and
worst sort, and at all times organized
in the interests of the corporation.
There are many comrades, how
ever, who are now in position to
join a union and one of the tasks of
the party organization is to get these
comrades wherever possible 70 join
unions and to lay basis for greater
unionization later.
Each of the units organized either
on the shop or street nuclei plan, i'm
mediately elected temporary officers
and organized a provisional section
committee
This provisional section committee
met Sunday morning to take up some
of the immediate organizational tasks.
Develop Leaders immediate Necessity
An immediate task will be to de-
velop few leading comrades who can
take over the technical direction of
the various shop nuclei. Meetings
mus the held regularly if the nuclei
are to function and to live.
In the section meeting last night,
a number of points of activity were
discussed, such as the need of getting
more comrades to write of their ex-
periencts, the lives of the workers in
the shops and at the earliest moment
to issue a bulletin. In a number of
smaller nuclei, the first order of bust
ness must be the recruiting of more
new membersa Higher party units
must give constant help and direction
to the work of the shop nuclei in or
der that they may swiftly feel conf
dent of their ability to carry on gen.
uine Communist work in the shops
and build the party.
Comrades present at the meeting
felt satisfied with the change and
strongly believed that the reorganiza-
ton will benefit the party greatly
however difficult the work may be
at the beginning A few members
may be lost, but their loss will not be
felt and the new members gained will
more than make up.
Nuclei Take up Campaign
The Pullman comrades are orgen-
lied in a number of steel nuclei which
makes many of their problems COM
mon, altho organized in different
shops. The same holds true for those
working in the automobile and rail-
road shops. This will make the plan
ming of the work much simpler than
in other sections where industry is
much more diversified.
The Pullman comrades are taking
up some immediate party campaigns,
such as building International Labor
Defense and preparing for the eighth
anniversary meeting of the Union of
Soviet Socialist Republics to be held
in Pullman on Nov. Sth.
Section meetings in Local Chicago
have now been held in Section No. /
and Section No. 2. Section No 5

ported on at a later date. Following
