League member can then very well
utilize his membership in the party
nucleus in his shop to strive to win
over, some non-Communist young
workers to the Communist point of
view. AS soon as there are three
more youth workers in this shop fol
lowing the Communist program, steps
will be taken to organize a Young
Workers League shop nucleus in the
particular plant.
After some time the party shop nu
cleus will undoubtedly increase its
membership. There will then be a
party and Young, Workers League
shop nucleus functioning side by side
and in the closest, cooperation, to the
advantage of both, in the same fac
tory. Needless to- emphasize, the ex
change of help to organize a shop
nucleus or to help it function after

QUESTION 5.-WiH the C. E. c.
permit the organization of building
shop nuclei?
ANSWERED. is necessary, first of
all, to define this term building
shop nuclei" The constitution of our
party provides that, under certain
conditions, where less than three
comrades are employed in a factory,
shop nuclei maybe organized to con-
sist of comrades working in different
factories in the same industrial sec
ton. These nuclei are organized in
order to help the comrades working in
separate plants pool their organiza-
tional resources to the end of hasten
ing their success in winning adher-
ents to the Communist program
among the workers in their respec-
| tive places of employment Such
shop nucleus serves to speed the or
ganization of other shop nuclei in
the plants hitherto not having enough
party members for such organization.
Sometimes, we will find that sever
| shops are located in one building.
/ In each of these shops, or in some of
these shops two or less party mem

comrades working in different shops
in the same building may be brot to-

nucleus. This is what the term
building shop nucleus" means. Such
a shop nucleus can prove of tremen-
dous help to the comrades working
in the various shops in the same
building in their Communist activities
among the workers in the different
| plants. Thus the organization of
such a shop nucleus in the building
is only the forerunner of and the
stimulant to the organization of
shop nucleus in the other shops To-
Gated in this building.
