BY D. BENJAMIN.

The last meeting of international
Branch No. 2, Subsection 8 A. New
York City, is proof of the value of the
reorganization for our party. It dem
onstrates that a nucleus can do valu-
able work for the party. The small
size Of the nucleus-1S-enable each
member to get into more intimate con-
tact with the work and problems of
the various comrades, it makes for
greater participation and activity of
all the comrades, as compared with
a leading five or ten in the old large
sized branches; and leads to empha-
sis on concrete work to be done,
rather than oratory and the passing
Of numerous meaningless motions so
characteristic of the old branches.
After the meeting was called to or
der and the attendance taken the
branch got down to work Immediately
Four dollars and ten cents worth of
literature was sold to the comrades,
including Paris Commune albums,
copies of the A. B. c. of Communism,
and pamphlets on Lenin and the
Trade Union Movement. by Losovsky,
and Party Reorganization by Jay
Lovestone 1t was then decided to buy
1000 leaflets on the Protection of the
Foreign-Born. Each comrade was al
loted tickets for a section affair ar
ranged to raise funds to maintain the
section headquarters.
Report on Activity.
Then came the vital part Of the
meeting. Each comrade must report
on work accomplished during the past
week, after which follows assignment
of tasks for the coming week, on
which the comrade must report at the
following meeting. All the tasks as
signed are recorded in the minutes
fixing responsibility for definite tasks.
The first comrade reported his ac-
tivity in the Workmen's Circle
branch he belongs to. He is a mem
Der of the executive committee Of the
branch. He and the only other COM
rade in that particular branch saw to
1t that the branch endorsed The
DAILY WORKER, the Freiheit, and
sent two delegates to the conference
for the protection of the foreign-born.
He attended his union meeting. Thru
questions by other comrades, it was
disclosed that there is not a fraction
in his locality or the district council
Of his union. AS a result, the branch
decided to notify the district indus
trial organizer of this situation so
that he might see whether a fraction
could be formed there. This comrade
was assigned the following tasks; to
bring before his union local the mat
ter Of supporting the Passaic strike
with funds, and the matter of sending
a delegate to the conference for the
protection of the foreign-born.
At the next meeting the comrade
will be asked whether he has carried
out these tasks, and with what sue
cess; so that assignments should not
merely be a matter OF New Years
Resolutions" He was given leaflets
advertising the Bronx Workers
Forum and leaflets for the women's
Day Meeting, and was told TO distrib-
ute them at the next meeting OF his
Workmens Circle Branch, and of his
union. AT the next meeting, this com.
rade will have to report on whether
he put these leaflets away safely in
some closet at home, or distributed
them as assigned. This comrade was
also assigned TO go to the meeting of
the new Jewish language club, "The
Arbeiter Club" recently organized in
this section, 10 Join It and become &C
tive in the fraction there.
