RESOLUTION OF THE ENLARGED COMMITTEE COMMUNIST
INTERNATIONAL ON THE SITUATION COMMUNIST PARTY

life into the Labor Party campaign
and building the movement for the
protection of foreign born workers.
the Central Committee has correctly
applied the united front tactics. The
Central Committee has continued the
campaign for bringing the Party men,
bership into the trade unions.
The Enlarged Executive Committee
expects that the Central Committee
and the whole Party membership will
unitedly and sincerely carry out the
decisions Of the Enlarged Executive
on the American question.
The Enlarged Plenum finds correct
the basic line of the trade union res
olution adopted unanimously by both
tendencies at the last convention of
the Workers (Communist) Party. This
resolution finds its rurther develop
ment in the present resolution of the
Enlarged Executive Committee.
The Plenum is of the opinion that
any manner Of resumption of the fac
tional struggle on the question of the
Party's tactic in the field of the trade
union movement would be especially
harmful.
6. The Enlarged Executive has the
opinion that more attention must be
paid to the trade union work than
hitherto and that the c. c. of the
American Communist Party should
divide the work within its ranks in
the following way: Comrade Foster
and those of his followers who have
close contact with the trade union
movement are to be primarily entrust-
| ed with the trade union work, without
excluding any comrades from full par
! ticipation in trade union work. For
this purpose comrade Foster and his
| followers must have the majority in
the Trade Union Committee of the C.
c., which must have the task of direct
guidance and organization of the trade
union work of the Party members.
1t is necessary that the Trade Union
Committee of the c. c. be really given
| full possibilities to exercise these func-
tons. 1t is self understood that this
tact and under the control Of the Pol
itical Committee and the Central Com
mittee of the Party. The Enlarged
Executive is convinced that the pol
itical Committee and the c. c. respec-
lively will not exercise the petty con-
troll over the Trade Union Committee
which the resolution of the Org. Con-
ference on the organization of the
trade union department, warns all sec
tions Of the Comintern against. The
Enlarged Executive expects at the
same time that no decision and no
measure will be taken by the Trade
Union Committee which will lead to
Discrimination, crossing, or confusing
Of the political and inner Party line
of the Party.
The Executive Committee of the
Comintern believes that the majority
of the Central Committee must really
give Comrade Foster and his closest
comrades the opportunity of using
their forces in this field The attempt
to fight Comrade Foster and those of
| his Comrades who desist from the
fractional struggle, is in no case per-
missible.
Such a division of work within the
leading circles of the American COM
rades is of specially great significance
at this time; it must be put into effect
in the near future, and must be con-
scientiously adhered to by all the
comrades.
Z. The Enlarged Plenum of the E.
IC. c. I. deems it necessary to extend
the composition Of the present Polit.
Bureau of the Amer AN Party by adj
ding one more comrade to Il from the
Minority. Editorial note: An addition
al Majority member is also to be ad-
ded to the Political Committee.)
s. The Enlarged Plenum of the E.
lC. c. l. believes that the Party must
devote more attention than heretofore
to such decisive sections of the work
ers as the miners, the railroad work
ers, the metal workers, etc. Without
neglecting the trade union work
among the textile workers, garment
workers, fur workers, etc, which has
been carried on so far, the work
among the great masses of workers in
heavy industry must be taken up with
the greatest energy and gradually in
tensifed. Not for one moment may
the fact be lost sight of that in a
country like America, the decisive sec
ton is the proletariat of heavy indus
try, and not the workers of light in
: dustry!
8, In the trade union tactic the
, Party must not content itself with
work Of theological enlightenment, but
has the task of applying the tactic Of
the united front everywhere. To gair
