raised by the party to arouse the
Communist sense of duty, to awaken
the initiative in those party women
members who have not as yet taken
active part in mass work.
The work among proletarian wom-
en- is not the special task conferred
upon women party members alone.
Work among proletarian women does
not mean work among housewives
only The more important work is
that among the women in the facto-
ries whom we must approach upon
the basis of issues which arise out Of
the conditions under which these
women work and live. The work here
must result in getting the women into
the trade unions, the left wing Of the
trade unions and into the shop nu-
clei. All of this is the work of the
entire party, both men and women.
Another wrong opinioni prevalent
among some party members is that
all other work must be neglected at
the expense Of work among proletar-
ian women. To bring success in any
sphere of party work, members must
be encouraged to take part in general
party activities and especially organ
izers in charge of any special work
of the party must feel not only the
inner pulse of party life but also that
of it's general activities.
Mass Meeting March 8.
Therefore, the party in District 2
calls upon every member, both men

Qower) and Harlem. Meetings are
