Protection Of the Fofeiun-Born.
| MYTH each new session of congress
W the attack upon the foreign-born
workers is renewed. The proposal for
registration, finger-printing and photo
graphing the foreign-born workers be-
comes more than usually dangerous
in view of the fact that it is now
openly advocated by Secretary Of La
Dor Davis and has been given addi-
tional support in the presidents mes
sage.
The political committee has issued
instructions to the party units to
again organize the councils for protec-
ton of the foreign-born During the
previous campaigns, when these coun-
ellis were formed they received large
mass support, but immediately after
the adjournment of congress, the
councils disappeared. sThe instruc-
tons of the political committee are
that, in renewing the campaign, foE
the protection of foreigh-born workers,
it must be closely connected with the
campaign for labor PARTY, showing
by the past experiences that the dan
ger is not temporary one, but is re-
newed at each session of congress,
and using this to prove the necessity
lof a permanent organization OF the
workers to carry on stheir political
struggles, in the form OF labor party.
The Textile Sfsuaton.
A WAVE of resistance TO wage cuts
"A and a movement f0r organization
in the textile centers 6f New Jersey
gave the party the opportunity to play
leading role in the Organization of
the unorganized workers there. The
united front textile cofnmittees have
been developed and actual organiza-
ton work conducted Our comrades
also have been the leaders of the
strike against wage cuts.
A question of policy developed in
relation to the organization of the tex
tile workers. Because Of the many
unions in the textile industry, jealous
les between them, the problem of what
to do with the workersswho are ready
to organize is a difficult one. The
united front textile committee deuel-
oped the plan of organizing the work
ers in the mills in mill councils with
a view of using these organizations as
a club in the campaign for amalgama-
ton of the textile unions. In this
connection. membership cards we're is
sued and dues collected.
The political committee decided that
it was permissible to organize mill
committees which would collect dues
from the members who affiliated, the
united front committee could not issue
individual membership cards and
thus in measure take the form of an
other union.
Anti-Imperialist Work.
Considerable progress has been
made in the building up of the Anti
Imperialist League. Fnnctioning or
ganizetions have been brot into exist
ence in a number of places and the
influence of the league has grown.
For instance. the campaign for the re-
lease Of Comrade Mella of the Cuban
Communist Party which was initiated
by the league brot widespread pro-
tests from all over Central and South
America on the initiative of the
league and resulted in the release Of
Mella. The work in this field gives
the appearance of prospecting and prom
Sc of the building of strong united
front organization under the auspices
of the Anti-Imperialist League.
