only a Temporary change in the curve
showing the general decline Of CAPT
talism and the development of the pro-
that it was exactly in this period Of a
seeming lowering of the revolutionary
spirit of the working masses that it
was necessary to take up the question
Of Bolshevization OF the existing Com
munist parties After having treated
the general situation, he took up the
situation within the Workers Party,
reviewing the work of the party dur
ing the last IS months. He empha-
sized that the factional conflict within
the party was not to be looked upon
as an evil but as an incident in the
Bolshevization of the party and in the
Qualification of its policy that the
party followed a correct feminist line.
Comrade Ruthenberg pointed out
that the errors made by the former
c. e. c. majority represented a tend
ency to return to the sectarianism
which had dominated the party during
the first two years of its existence
-1919-1921. The discussion in the
party on this question and the final
decision of the Communist Interna-
tional, supporting the labor party pol
icy was a decision against the new
wave of sectarianism in the party and
should make certain that the party
would not again fall into this error.
Comrade Ruthenberg also pointed
out that the fight within the party de-
veloped into struggle between the
right wing elements supporting Sec
tarianism and the left wing which was
following the line of the Communist
International 1t was the policy of the
Comintern, as was shown in its decis-
ion, to separate the Communist ele-
ments from the right wing and to
a feminist line of policy.
The fact that this was not achieved
in the national convention of the party
was the basis, in the opinion of Com
rade Ruthenberg, of the decision made
by the Communist International, sup
porting the present Central Executive
Committee majority as more loyal and
closer to the views of the Communist
International.
After analysing the party situation,
showing that this situation was part
of the process of Boshevization of the
party, Comrade Ruthenberg took up
the concrete fact of the reorganization
of the party, handing in detail the plan
for the organization of shop nuclei and
the role Of the language fractions in
the party after it's reorganization.
The speaker showed that the Ian
guage fractions will be even a more
effective instrument in carrying on
party propaganda among the various
language groups than the language
declarations which had previously ex-
listed.
Upon the conclusion Of the speech
by Comrade Ruthenberg, resolutions
similar to the resolutions adopted by
the various membership meetings in
support of the G. E. c. and the c. l.
decisions was submitted and after dis

c. e. C. Statement on Federation
Situation.
Comrade Ruthenberg in the name of
the Central Executive Committee also
presented to the convention state
ment of the c. e. c. in reference to
the controversy which had been going
on in the South Slavic section. The
statement took up the charges made
against the majority of the bureau by
Comrades Fisher and Michalachky in
relation to the party discussion, the
policy Of the bureau, and in relation
to work in the fraternal organizations
The statement fully upheld the bureau
on the question, and called upon the
convention to take a united stand
against the enemies of the party and
the South Slavic section who were en-
deavoring to use the discussion within
the section for the purpose of a fight
against the Communist movement
among the South Slavic workers. The
statement was unanimously accepted
by the convention in connection with
the report of the bureau which was
submitted by Comrade Cuchovich.
The remaining two days were de-
voted to discussion of the question
of Bolshevization, reorganization of
the South Slavic section, the line of
the general reorganization of the
party, the question of the work in fra
ternal organizations, work in support
of the labor party, support of the In
, ternational Labor Defense, and the
| campaign in defense of the Soviet I'm
ion. On all these questions resolu-
lions were adopted laying down the
line of work for the South Slavic COM
rades among the South Slavic work
ers of this country
Particular emphasis was given to
the question of reorganization of the
party in the South Slavic section.
The convention was unanimous for
the reorganization on the basis of shop
nuclei and street nuclei and for the
establishment of the language frac-
lions in place of the present existing
language federation.
The convention without a dissent
ing vote elected a new bureau of four
teen members. This bureau consists
of eight comrades who will live in Chi
cago and who will constitute the exc
cutive council to direct the day to
day work and six from the country at
large. The Executive Council con-
sists Of the following comrades: C..
Novak, L. .Zinich, F. Boric, F. Krasich,
M. Roikovic, T. Cuckovich, M. Cor

CHAMPION HtdQ ever "edhtllllS.
Marty O'Laughlin, former Metro

formidable contender in the big
events of the golfing world, who is
himself an exceedingly brainy per-
former. tells me of IA remarkable in
stance of Hagen's power as a strate-
gist, although in this case his ability
to analyze a play correctly was all
that was concerned, Walter not being
called upon for any demonstration
in psychology that might rout an
opponent. This, of course. aside
from the proper physical execution
of the play.
The test came up in the MetropoI-
tan open championship of 1915, played
over the Fox Hills course on Staten
Island
1t was during the third round.
Marty and Walter We're paired, and
each of them was engaged in IL dou-
BILE battle. Each had a chance to
win the championship: also they We're
running neck and neck in the scor-
ing: consequently, they were strug-
CLING hard to see which one should
finish ahead of the other.
