drawn therefrom. 1t was pointed out
various nuclei should become more
active in their shops and should not
rely upon the working area branch to
do the work of a nucleus. The branch
of course, should organize and per
form all the outside activity, but that
should be only secondary and supple
mentary to the work Of the nuclei
members inside.
The intensication Of the activity
within the shop and the getting of
new members thru the efforts Of the
nucleus there rather than thru out
side activity would avoid to very
great measure getting stool pigeons
into our organization.
Definite organlzatIonaI Measures
It was stressed also that as soon as
nucleus is organized 1t should set
definite date and place Of its meet
ing, elect its officers, even though it
may be only two officers at the start
and work out a plan Of work and
follow it religiously.
The nucleus must meet every week
and have one business meeting, two
educational and one social meeting.
OF course any immediate business
may be transacted at any nucleus
meetinb or special nucleus meeting
called whenever the situation in the
shop demands it. The nucleus should
participate more also in the general
league activity, it was reported and
not confine itself solely to the discus
sion of shop problems.
All the communications sent out
by the league and the city central
minutes Of the league should be read
and discussed and all instructions con-
tanned therein followed out by the
nucleus. The nuclei members, too,
should be drawn more into all the big
affairs of the league.
They should be present at all the
league membership meetings, at joint
league and party affairs, at our hikes
and at our social affairs. They should
cooperate in arranging the open pro
paganda meetings Of the branch and
attend these meetings in a body.
Bulletins Should Be More Political
The bulletins of the various nuclei
should become more political in ma
ture, they should endeavor to ac-
quaint the young workers in the shops
with the Young Workers League, it's
program, its various activities and its
goal, and should not merely week
after week make exposes Of the con-
ditions in the shops. That of course
must be contained in every bulletin
accompanied by few paragraphs on
the general activities of the league
and some educational material.
1t was also remarked that the nu-
eleus should consistently and system
atically with the assistance Of fac
tory campaign and outside activity
build itself in size and inuence and
only when it is sufficiently established
should it set itself the big tasks such
as the calling for organization Of q
shop committee.
In its program, it should of course,
carry the Gemand for the organization
! Of shop committee and in its activi-
ty it should work towards that end.
It should guard however, against
taking premature steps in that direc-
ion as these premature steps weaken
md demoralize a nucleus rather than
strengthen it.
| The nuclei members also should at
all times carry on their work as a
unit. No individual actions should be
permitted. No walkouts or calling Of
shop committee meetings, etc., with
out thorough discussion and prepare
ton of the whole nucleus with its
area branch representatives. The de-
lay in waiting for such a meeting is
no excuse, inasmuch as the nucleus
can meet in an emergency almost i'm
mediately.
on Way to Full Reorganization.
All in the report and in the discus
sion that followed the report and in
the report of the activities OF every
nucleus it was brought out that the
Chicago was well on the way to a
complete reorganization on the shop
nucleus basis.
One evening was not sufficient to
discuss the many problems and the
achievements Of the various nuclei.
We are gaining invaluable experience
thru our activity, we are learning
many valuable lessons thru our mis-
takes which will aid us in the future
work.
It is now when we have stepped
from the propaganda stage into the
midst of practical everyday activity
in this line that our members and the
league as a whole are driving benefits
from the shop nucleus organization,
this is evidenced by the twenty new
members gotten in during the last
month, most OF them thru the nuclei
and the lively and practical discussion
held at our city central committee
