Our Tasks in Light Of Chicago Lenin Meeting

the party had just been completed, and
the members were just becoming ac-
customed to the new form of organ
ization. the organization based on
shop and street nuclei proves to be
far superior to the old territorial form
of organization in reaching masses of
workers. The thousands OF workers
brought out to the Lenin demonstra-
ton we're reached thru the factories
and shops by our members organized
in the nuclei.
8. The 5000 workers attending the
demonstration shows that the party
has a wide circle of sympathizers who
recognize in Lenin the great leader of
the working class, who support the
Soviet Union and who recognize in
our party the standard bearer of Lee
ninism in this country These sym
pathizers present us with the task OF
recruiting for our party. The demon
stration proved that our Chicago mem
hbership, which numbers around one
thousand, can be greatly strengthened

pathizers. If we are really to take
advantage of the demonstration hun
dreds of these non-party workers who
attended the meeting must be en-
rolled in our ranks. BY the time of the
next Lenin memorial demonstration
our party should have absorbed the
bulk of these sympathizers and again
draw to itself another wide circle of
non-pary workers.
4. The large attendance at the
meeting of Chinese and Negro work
ers shows the growth of our influence
among them. The two speeches that
evoked the greatest enthusiasm were
those delivered by the Chinese and
Negro speakers. Their bitter denun-
citation of the exploitation of the colo
NAL peoples by the imperialist nations
struck a sympathetic note in the
audience. In such a fertile soil the
All-America Anti-Imperialist League
should grow rapidly.

hundreds of workers into our party is
OF the greatest Importance.
The reorganization of the partv is

ed what can be accomplished thru this
form of organization. The further
vitalizing of the nuclei. the further
training of the party members and the
closer coordination of all party forces
will make possible greater successes
in the future.
Politically the demonstration was a
tremendous victory for onr, party. Vhe
labor officialdom has bitterly fought
our party and attempted ito isolate us
entirely. Every conceivable method
has been employed by them-from ex-
pulsions to slugging-to,c beat down
our members and followers in the
unions. The Lenin meeting is a fine
answer to them. af
Furthermore, the event proved the
total eclipse of the socialist party.
The starting of weekly paper by
the socialists at the beginning of the
year in Chicago contrasted with the
second anniversary of our daily paper,
and then followed up with this huge
demonstration shows which is the
party Of the working class; which is
able to rally thousands of workers to
its side; which is the revolutionary
workers party.
The organization of our mass Of
close sympathizers is our outstanding
task in the coming months Patient
hard work made the demonstration
possible. Further work among the

at every turn in the struggle the
proper policy to be pursued-this will
enable us to crystalline the effects of
the Lenin demonstration into organ

Street Nuclei Will
Cover Union Meetings
with The Daily Worker

Every street nucleus in Chicago has
been assigned certain labor unions to
be visited regularly with The DAILY
WORKER and literature.
1t is necessary for this Office to
know how many of The DAILY
WORKER will be needed so a sup
ply can be secured of the paper for
the comrades visiting these union
meetings.
Take this matter up at your next
meeting and let us know the night
the papers are wanted for and who
will call for them at this office.
Quite often it happens that the
wrong date or address is given in the
union directory and as result the
evening is wasted. We must have an
exact report of every case of this
kind so we can correct our list of
meetings.
With thousands of union members
reading The DAILY WORKER every
day there is no excuse Tor Incorrect
addresses if every one would check up
on their union as listed In the union
list published in the daily.
Help us make this list exact. There
are ten neatly framed pictures of

coin, for the first ten union members
bringing in corrections in this list.

young workers included. At this time,
particularly, when our league is go
ing thru a profound process of reor-
ganization, all efforts must be united
for this task. But, as Bolsheviks, we
do not separate our organizational
work from our general work of mass
agitation and propaganda. Hand in
hand with the reorganization, there
fore, must be carried on broad pro-
paganda and agitation work on all the
fields of life and activity of the toiling
youth.
We have entered the stage of close
contact with the masses of the young
workers. We have learned how to
react to the many questions of their
everyday life. Our work among the
Jewish-speaking youth is but a part
of our general mass work and propa-
ganda. Our comrades in the Jewish
field must watch the special events in
Jewish life and on the basis of these
events enlighten the young workers
as to their tasks and to the necessity
of the class struggle. Our comrades
must bring the general campaigns of
the league to the attention of the
Jewish young workers and mobilize
them for the struggle.
At the same time the national exc
cutive committee wishes to call at
tention to the fact that Jewish work
is only link in the chain of our gen.
eral activities. All separatist tend
encies will be combatted. Every
tendency to overestimate the Jewish
work-bearing within it the germs of
nationalist tendencies-will be fought.
On the other hand, it will be made
clear that every tendency to under
estimate the necessity of work among
the Jewish-speaking young workers
leading to the practical liquidation of
such works against the policy of
the national executive committee.
The N. E. c. makes it clear that we
must utilize every possible form and
means of propaganda in order to
The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1926-01-29

strengthen our agitation and influence
among the Jewish-speaking youth.
The activity of comrades who work
among the Jewish youth must not
be limited to that field alone. These
comrades must also be active in other
fields of league work. This will help
to develop a correct orientation to
our work among the foreign language
working youth.
In abolishing the former bureau and
in replacing it by an agitprop sub
committee, the ~ E. G. took step
forward in liquidating the internal
organizational powers and activities
Of the former committees and in really
limiting the sphere of the committee
for Jewish work to agitation and pro-
paganda. The removal of the commit
tee to Chicago was an expression Of
the closer coordination of the agita-
ton work among the Jewish-speaking
youth and the general activities of the
league, an actual carrying out Of the
Communist principles of centraliza-
ton
We are sure that every member Of
the league. every comrade active in
Jewish work will look upon our new
orientation to this work as a phase
of Bolshevization process and will do
all in his power to help the league in
it's activities
Into the work among the Jewish
speaking youth
Into activity wherever there are

BY HARVEY YOUNG.

OUR English League, tho numerical
~ ly quite small, and relatively
weak, has nevertheless, conducted
systematic economic trade union
work, which may justifiably be termed
exemplary to the whole international.
Insofar as our English brother
league has succeeded to strike out in
to directions finding new methods of
practical mass work, it has made very
many valuable experiences, especially
for those leagues working under sim
liar conditions, j. e. in the first in
stance, Germany, France, America,
Czecho-Slovakia, in short, all leagues
of large heavy industry.
The English League, naturally, has
followed the lines of the resolution of
the last plenary session of last March,
namely, the resolution which is known
to all comrades.
Generally speaking its tasks in the
economic field as for all other leagues
may be formulated under the follow
ing four heads: ~ factory groups,
(2) young workers conferences, 60
industrial campaigns, (4) trade
union fractions.
While these remain the general eco
nomic tasks of all leagues, it must
be frankly admitted that the economic
work, generally speaking, is abstract,
journalistic, and spasmodic.
Freely admitting that the last period
in England was a favorable period for
the economic work during which there
took place great mining crisis, the
lockers strike, seamen's strike, tex.
tile lockout, In which masses of work
ers were involved, accompanied by a
host of minor, sporadic strikes of
lesser Importance, but equally signif-
cant, II must be emphasized that the
success Of the economic trade union
work of the English League has been
due to the leagues ability, to connect
its economic. trade union work with
the vital questions of the current
struggle OF the workers.
This is the first necessity in the
task of abolishing the obsolete alb
stract methods.
Therefore, in this question the in.
dustrial campaign plays particularly
important role. This means that the

All members Of the Cleveland party
organization belonging to trade unions

to learn the Communist position on

OF THE ENGLISH LEAGUE

league must be Immediately in the
field with its detailed and concrete
program of demands on the eve of
any dispute, in any important indus
try.
The campaign conducted in the
mining industry during last May and
June offers an excellent example Of
this kind of activity. AS much has
already been written and published Of
these experiences, we will not go into
this question in detail. It is only
necessary to prove the truth of our
contention to show the results of this
work, ten new groups, formation of
two new districts, winning of 200 new
members, and what is more important
still, altho not expressed in this con-
crete figure, the wide volume of infiu-
ence established by the league in the
coal field districts, in the MF.G.B,
and consequently in the whole trade
union and labor movement. Similarly
with the leagues action in the textile
lockout which had similar results.
From what we have said, it will be
clear that this kind of practical eco
nomic trade union work is the method
of the organization of factory groups.
BY means of such campaigns, the sys-
tematic attack of definite detectives
is made, and the whole league men,
bership goes consciously into ac-
tinS to form new factory groups, i'm
prove the leagues social composition,
and thus advance on the road to re-
organization.
We may even state categorically
that without such practical economic
trade union work all paper schemes
for the mechanical reorganization of
league or league district, are use
less.
In this sphere one of the chief re-
suits of the leagues conference at
Manchester was its clear formulation
Of the joint tasks of reorganization
and recruiting. This means the build
ing Of factory groups and filling their
young veins with the healthy life-giv-
ing blood Of the practical economic
trade union work, which makes DOS.
sible the reorganization Of the league
on the basis OF the factories and
mines.
