Workers Communist Party
How Should Communists Organize Their Work?

Tments? Why can't we ''cash in" on
them in some way? Why should we
give over our organization and work
ers to these movements ?" OF course,
that is putting the problem in very
crude and obviously wrong way, but
the problem of our party capitaliz-
ing organizationally its participation
in big working class campaigns has
yet to be solved effectively. We have
for some time been working in man
ner which has not at all enabled us
to utilize sufficiently for the strength
ening of our organization, for the win
ming of new members, the various po-
litical and other campaigns in which
we have played an active or domin-
ant part.
Specifically, there are three ways
in which the party can "cash in" and
usually does ''cash in" thru its parti-
cipation in campaigns or in organ
izations in which large masses of nom
Communist workers are involved.
: l. We have instances where the
party achieves a specific end. Repe-
tition has worn threadbare the axio-
matte truth which is that the Com
munists have no interests other than
the interests of the working class.
Let us suppose the party succeeds in
arousing enough workers for the sup
port of the striking Passaic textile op-
eratives. This is the achievement of
a specific end which, considering all
the objective conditions at hand is a
victory for the Communists-is a vic
tory for the workers as a class. We
have in mind the state of ddsorganiz-
alton in the ranks of the textile work
ers Of this country. We have in mind
that every blow struck for organic.
ing the unorganized textile workers IS
a blow struck for better opportuni.
ties; and the Communists participate
actively in and take the lead of all
such movements which will advance
the interests of the workers in the
whole textile industry. We have in
mind that the enhancement of the
standard of living and social condi.
tions of the textile workers is step
towards the strengthening of the de.
mand for better living and working
conditions of the whole working class,
nor should we forget that the best
way of convincing the workers
whether they be textile or other kinds
of workers, that the Communists are
The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1926-07-16

worthy of their trust and faith, to
lead them, is in this everyday de-
monstration of our (participation)
and courage.
2. Another method OF the party's
"cashing in" on these activities in
non-party mass organizations or cam
paigns in which great numbers of
non-party workers are involved, is to
be found in the winning over of a
certain base of operations for other
campaigns than the particular one
for the moment under consideration.
For instance, we will find that Com
munists active in securing relief for
the striking anthracite miners will in
this fashion establish a base for sub
sequent participation and leadership
in another progressive constructive
movements among these miners. Party
members who have won the conf
dence of the striking anthracite min
ers because of the efforts which they
have put up to help the miners score
victory, will find that when they
speak about the naturalization of the
mines or the six-hour day, they will
get much more of a hearing from
these non-party miners because Of
previous activities. The more the
party members do constructive class
work in cooperation with non-party
workers, the less the chasm between
the Communists and the non-Commu-
nists, the more the non-Communist
workers will begin to feel faith in,
and to act with, the Communists. The
laws of sympathetic action hold at
least as true in politics as in any
other social relationship.
Furthermore, we will note that con-
nections with non-party individuals
established in one united front activi-
ty will serve considerably in the es-
Establishment Of other united front
campaigns.
3. The direct winning of new pro-
letarian followers of our party and
new membership of our party is a
most important method of our party's
''cashing in" Altogether too often
we have belittled this task. We do
not sufficiently appeal for member
ship at our meetings. We do not CAPT.
talize adequately the response which
non-party workers give to some of
our campaigns for the purpose OF
drawing these workers closer to US
organizationally.

Workers School to
Train Teachers for
Communism Classes

NEW YORK, July 13.-For a long
time, there has been a lack, both III
the Workers (Communist) Party ana
the Young Workers Communist
League, of a sufficient number of
capable teachers. The reorganization
of the party and league with its en-
phasis on Every comrade an active
comrade able to carry on Communist
work among the masses" has in
creased the demand for education
among party and league members.
For this reason, the National Sum-
mer Training School, to be held here
July 10 to 81, has added an extra
course to its curriculum, Methods of
Teaching" This will consist of-Ob-
servation of Model Lessons: how to
avoid the lecture system; how to ask
questions and develop points; the en-
phasis on the concrete and on Ameri.
can conditions; the value OF students
experiences in class struggles as a
basis for data and material; impor.
lance Of having students express
themselves, thus enabling the instruc-
tor to note the misunderstanding and
errors of the students; the value of
class discussion and class expression;
the incubation of the dynamic view
point; necessity of drawing conclus-
ions and relating the lesson to pres
ent day problems in America; how to
keep the lessons within bounds and
prevent II from disintegration-the
are some of the points that will be
explained to and discussed with those
who wish to become instructors.
Many comrades, especially OF the
Young Workers (Communist) League,
have already signifed their intention
OF attending this Teachers Institute"
Active comrades who are interested,
who feel that they can function in the
future as instructors in the party
should communicate with Bert Wolfe.

Nancy Sandosky
Freed of Assault
on Officer" Charge

PASSAIC, N. j., July 10. = Judge
William B. Davidson was forced to
release Nancy Sandosky. her sister
Mamie, and Catherine 10th, who were
picked up by a special officer, Max
Meyer, on the astounding charge that
the three frail girl strikers had at
tackled him and beaten him up.
Meyer failed to prove that the girls
had attacked him or had been disord-
erly in any way. Judge Davidson, who
had held the girls on $1,000 bail and
insisted on cash bail, contrary to the
usual custom of the courts in accept.
ing bond balls, was reluctantly forced
to adjudge the three girls not guilty
Of the stupid charge OF assault and
battery.
The bosses papers have given
Meyer great praise for his "heroism"
for, say they, "single-handed, he ar
rested the girls"
A petition presented by tax payers
of Dayton Avenue, asking for his re-
moval from that beat was thrown into
the scrap basket by the notorious
Police Chief zober.

CHIEF FACTORY INSPECTOR OF ILLINOIS
STATE ADMITS INCREASING CHILD LABOR

Chief Factory Inspector VIM. H. Cur
ran admitted in his report that the
illinois employers are increasing their
violation of the state child labor laws.
The Illinois law prohibits children
under ID from working for compensa-
ton during school hours, before z
o'clock in the morning or after in
the evening. 1t also prohibits employ
ers from working children under 16
more than six days week, eight hours
day and before z in the morning and
after in the evening. Another pro-
vision debars employers from putting
children under 16 to work in a large
number of prohibited occupations re-
garded as detrimental to health and
dangerous to life. OF course all the
laws are only on paper. The govern
ment can only use police against work
ers, but against the employers they
are helpless and can't do anything
against the violation of laws.
Mr.. Curran in his statement said as
follows: Owners of fruit, vegetable
and grocery stores persistently violate
the law by employing children under
16 on machines. That violations
occur is demonstrated not only by the

Superior, Wis A large part OF the
population here are Firms, among
whom there is a strong progressive
tendency which is led by a compare
lively well-organized and active Work
ers (Communist) Party and Young

We now have go students at the
school. Most of them are between
the ages of 16 and 81, with few a
little younger and four or five beyond
81. Most of the students are from
Minnesota, Wisconsin and Michigan
but we have one or two from North

from Astoria, Ore. Most of the stu
dents are American-born youths of
Finnish parentage. 1t is our hope and
purpose to draw into the school more

also in the schools that will be held
in the future.
Comrades A. J. Hayes, of Superior

Peppercorn Uses
New Trick in
A. G. w. Election
Especial to The Daily worker)

CLEVELAND, July 10. - Elections
for the joint board of the Amalga-
mated Clothing Workers recently took
place in Cleveland. The practice in
the Amalgamated has been to put the
names on the ballot in alphabetical
order. This time, the reactionary bust
ness manager Peppercorn, struck upon
new method. He put the names of
the II administration candidates first
on the ballot and those of the pro-
gressives at the bottom.
This would not be so bad but for
the fact that many of the members
of the Amalgamated cannot read Eng.
lish very well and furthermore do not
know the names of the candidates.
Peppercorn therefore got his agents
on the job and had them go from shop
to shop telling the workers to vote
for numbers one to seventeen. This
ensured his slate a victory and al
most eliminated the progressives from
the joint board.
Z Unquestionably, m i n 8 r alton
people generally will proclaim this an
honest election. The membership of
the Cleveland locals will soon have an
opportunity of expressing their
opinion about it.

cation for the whole school period but
any of its members may be recalled
and new ones put in their places
whenever that is desired. In the
meetings of the student body the in

disciplinary matters the final decision
rests with the instructors, however,

Workers Fight Ban of
Mill Barons

LAWRENCE, Mass, July 13.-The
United Front Committee of Lawrence
has appealed the case of Fred Beal,
secretary, arrested by police for
speaking at an open air meeting.
Two other speakers, Professor Harry
S. Longfellow Dana, Of the Civil
Liberties Union and Anthony Ramug-
liza, Italian organizer of the United
Front Committee, were not arrested
by the police. 81
The chief of police refused permits
to the United Front Committee to
hold it's meetings. This action was
undoubtedly dictated by the mill
owners. According to the city ordi-
nance, the chief of police is obliged to
grant permit for open air meetings
on application by an individual or an
organization. He grants permits to
everybody but workers organiza-
tons.

rested Beal, lodged complaint
against him for violating city ordi-

BY JAY LovEsToNE.

The past six months have seen a
marked revival in the success our
party has been meeting IN establish
ing contact with non-Communist
workers.
If anyone desires to consult the
most accurate barometer Of such
progress. all he has to do is to ex-
anime the response which masses of
Communist workers have given
to our campaigns for the protection
OF the foreign born, the movement to
save Sacco and Vanzetti from electro
cution, the drive for relief and de-
tense Of the Passaic textile strikers,
the widespread approval Of the his
toric event launched by the New York
furriers for a forty-hour week and in
other instances OF a similar charac-
ter.
At this time it is entirely appropri-
ate to consider certain fundamental
questions involved in the party strate-
gy and program in activities to make
the Communist Party the leader OF
the masses IN LIE.
What Is Party Work?
Broadly speaking, party work may
be said to be those activities which
advance the party's program, which
push forth the interests of the work
ing class. Often, the workers tnvolv,
led IN such a movement, in such a
struggle for the enhancement of their
class interests, are not even conscious
of the direction of the movement in
which they are active participants
and of which they are the very max.
sers. Any activities the party parti-
! cipates in, influences in some mea
FEure, directs to some extent, and
(which bring the workers a step near.
Ter to the left, couple Of pegs high
Ter in the development of their class
consciousness, is, in the largest sense
hi the word, Communist activity.
4 Surely those days are gone in our
party when Communist activities are
those which call for, and at best are
TRANSLATED into, abstract propaganda
for the proletarian dictatorship, sup
port for the social revolution, and Sc
an.
Today we measure the results oi
our Communist activities and we de
2ermdne the Importance of the activi
ties precisely by the extent to which
they enable us to get masses into mo
Hion, % have masses move leftward-
the extent to which we develop oul
influence over these masses and sinh
our roots among them.
