ganization that is leading the workers
and their organizations along militant
and progressive lines. The party in
this district has during the last year
carried on an enormous amount OF
work thru number of united front
campaigns; by participating in the
elections and by carrying on various
other activities of political nature.
The party is at present in close CON
tact with larger masses Of workers
than ever before.
-. While the party is engaged in
numerous activities its membership
shows serious decline. That is due
to numerous misunderstanding of mines
where we had functioning units, ex-
pulsion policy carried on by the min
ers and steel workers unions, gov
eminent prosecutions, and partly be-
cause of the reorganization. The de-
cline in membership and failure to get
in number of new members was also
partly due to the failure of the party
machinery to devote sufficient atten-
ton to organization work.
rs. The reorganization of the party
while partly responsible for the loss Of
a certain number of members, has i'm
proved considerably the character Of
the party work and increased the eff
| ficiency and militancy of the party.
While the first steps of the reorgani-
cation were carried thru it is now
necessary to make an effort to over
come the difficulties with which many
nuclei are confronted and to build a
better and stronger party on the basis
of shop and street nuclei
'In order to achieve this the confer
ence recommends that the following
steps be taken by the D. E. c.:
a. That a well functioning organiza-
ton department be established in all
units of the district beginning with
the d. E. c. and ending with the street
and shop nuclei.
"2. That sub-district conferences be
held turnout the district within one
months time where new sub-district
committees will be elected.
"3. That each sub-district organ
izer be instructed to submit regular
monthly reports to the district organ
izer. These reports to be carefully ex-
amined by the district organizations
committees.
a. The district organizer or other
representative of the d. f. c. shall
regularly attend the meetings of the
sub-district committees and help them
to direct their work.
rs. That in the immediate future
the district organizer shall make
tour over the district, visiting at least
the leading party committees and the
most important shop and street nuclei,
with view of making a review of the
district situation and Of instructing
the comrades of the work of the party.
6. That the street and shop nuclei
be responsible for the work OF their
membership and that all important &C
tivities be carried on thru the nuclei
and not thru individual members.
az. That the work Of the party be
so organized as to make 1t possible
for each and every member Of the
party to take active part in it.
IS. That serious effort be made
to have the shop nuclei Of important
shops, mills and mines to issue shop
bulletins, the district Office to assist
in this work as much as possible.
80. That drive for new members
be initiated In the shops and a special
campaign be started to organize new
party units, especially in places where
there are number OF readers of party
papers and where good connections
were established thru the miners cam
paign. A group of leading comrades
be modified for this work in addition
to the regular field organizer.
10. Serious steps to be taken to re-
viTe the party organization in the non
union territory, such as West Virginia,
coke region and western and midwest
ern Pennsylvania.
