3. Uniformity and system in group
meetings. To liquidate the startling
diversity in the forms and methods
used in conducting Pioneer group
meetings, the N. P. d. has issued a
bulletin giving in concrete form an
outline for the routine of the ordi-
nary group meeting. This bulletin
gives in brief form the principles on
which the group meeting is based
and the generalized form for carry.
ing out these principles into actual
life. Every Pioneer leader should
have a copy Of this bulletin. If you
haven't a copy write for it. This bul.
letin should be studied by the Pioneer
leaders committee where such exist
and definite plans made to base their
practice on them.

The Lack of Uniformity of Our Or
uanization.
Our Pioneer organization at present
presents all these stages of develop
ment in pure form in the different
parts of the country. In some sections
We still find groups" that are really
Socialist Sunday Schools with an ad-
mixture of dramatics and singing.
This is particularly true in those
places where the influence OF ma.
tionalist foreign-language children's
schools CWorkmen's Circle schools,
Finnish. Lithuanian, etc. schools) is
unusually strong.
Then We have groups that repre-
sent the various stages of develop
ment from the socialist Sunday school
to the group based on directed self.
activity but functioning largely as a
propaganda (internal and external)
organization. OF this type are un-
questionably the vast majority of the
Pioneer organizations thruout the
country.
Finally, we have, in a very few OF
the more advanced districts, cases
of organizations definitely on the way
towards the Pioneer League-organiz.
ed on the strong foundation of school
nuclei, basing their regular everyday
work on the school struggle. closely
knit together in a strong centralized
organization We all know how really
rare such cases are.
The Sources OF This Lack OF Uni
formlty.
Now why is there this tremendous
contrast in what are really the vari
ous parts of the same organization
or course, the external objective con
ditions must be considered and theil

BY MARTIN AsERN.

A T the fourth Communist Interna-
"A tional congress, Lenin reported
that the theses on organization were
accepted, but not understood, except
by the Russians.
In America the question and impor-
tance of the right form of organization
was not fully understood for long
time, and not even now. Otherwise
the federation form of organization
might have disappeared long ago. 1t
is evident that to reach the workers
to carry on mass activity, requires an
organization which is in and part of
the workers. That can be only in the
shops, particularly, in the factory
nuclei.

THEN, too, there has also been min
4 gled with confusion some fear on
the part of the federations, that with
the abolition of language units, mass
contact with and influence over the
foreign-born workers in industry
would be broken. Quite the contrary,
the fusion Of all language and English
(American) members into either shop
or street nuclei has for the first time
brot even the party members together.
The shop cements them. closely with
the other workers on common ties
of daily struggle issues. The basis
is laid for discussion on general and
specific problems of the American
working class.
In the language units the problems
of each foreign group, pertaining for
the most part or very often, to the
old country, we're paramount. Thru

wall of some comrades prior to actual

Comrades, what does all this skep-

the Reorganization itself and in the
membership to respond, mean polite
ally? This is not mere loose talk.
This skepticism is one of the roots
of a Loreist ideology. This is the

attitude. This is lack of belief in
the party membership, as well as the
mass of workers, to do what is re-
quired Of them.

Organization on an insulated scale,
at the beginning of the campaign for

and bad. When successful, it con-
vinced the comrades; where not so

However, neither was the best test.
