Then told the captain the follow.
ing; Your picture of army life brings
to mind coal miners strike in West
Virginia where the so-called standing
army was called out to maintain or
der. Would Il be called upon to shoot
down my own striking father and
brothers if joined your army?
When the captain heard this he
jumped to his feet, shook hands with
me and said: Glad, ! met you, must
be going, come down and see me
later. He knew was not a recruit.

How long will it be before there is

pared; while colonial wars are taking
place in China, Syria, etc.

Social Affairs
Resolutions
Organizing Fraternal and Benefit
Society Fractions.

Society Fractions.
s. On the basis of these findings
as to the fraternal organizations with
which the language fraction member
ship is affiliated there should be or
ganized fractions of party members in
the fraternal and benevolent organ
izations of the language group in
question. Thus, we may organize frac-
tions in the Lithuanian literary So
ciety, in the South Slavic national
benefit society, in various Finnish
athletic clubs.
Z. General membership meetings of
the various language fractions should
be held at certain intervals decided
upon by the language fraction execu-
tive committees in the various cities.
At these meetings there may be dis
cussed only the problems of carrying
on Communist propaganda among the
workers of the national group under
consideration and the questions of i'm
proving the activities Of the Commun-
lists in the different fraternal and be-
nevolent societies.
s. The tasks of the language frac-
ton executive committees are as fol-
lows
(a) To guide the general Commun-
list activities in the ranks of the non
Communist workers of the particular
national group under the direction of
the highest party committee in the
fcity.
(b) To organize and guide the ac-
tivities of the various fractions set
up in different fraternal organizations
Of their nationality.
(c) To keep regularly and fully in
touch with the national fraction bu-
reau in question for guidance as to
general policies for their special ac-
tivities in the ranks of the non-Com-
munist proletarians of their national
ity and in the various benefit societies.
I'D To raise funds and secure sub
scriptions among the non-Communist
workers of their nationality in order
to help finance the national, district
and city language fraction executive
committees and to secure the main
tenance of their various language or
gans. O
(e) The language fraction city exc
cutive committees, under the direction
of their language fraction, district
executives and national bureaus and
in the strictest cooperation with the
district committees of the party, shall
take steps to organize, wherever nee
essary, workers clubs of particular
language group either III each city or
in different sections ofathe city as the
conditions dictate. The, details of
procedure in organizing the workers
clubs will be elaborated in the forth.

reading as follows:
"The Factories for the Workers and
the Land for the Farmers"
This was the aim of Lenin. 1t has
been realized in the Workers Republic
of Soviet Russia 1t has become the
goal of the awakened workers and
farmers of all lands. In Russia the
workers have power and have esta-
blished their own government. They
control the factories and determine
their own working conditions.
Their unions, seven million strong,
fix the wages for all. These are main
tanned by the Soviet government. The
conditions of the workers there are
continually improving. The awakened
workers of this country are beginning
to understand Lenin's slogan.
at Is in the Shops that the Power
Of the Workers Lies"
In the United States the factories
and shops are owned by small group
of capitalists. They dictate working
conditions and use every effort to low
er wages, lengthen working hours and
increase the speed-up system. They
dominate the government in the inter
est of their class and against the
workers. This is recorded in the years
Of struggles of the workers with in
functions, suppression of strikes and
growing exploitation.
While the profits of the bosses have
increased the workers have become
impoverished and constantly menaced
with unemployment. Such are the ac.
complishments of capitalism. AS
Lenin said:
Capitalism has performed It's
task; II has created a great social
Industry In which thousands Of
workers eoIlaborate on a single job;
the labor is social and II now only

Workers Communist Party
The Problem of the Language Fractions

The strictest and completest pos.
sible cooperation between the dis
trict organizer of the party and the
particular language district organ
izer in question is an absolute prere-
quisite for the success Of these meet
ings.
2. If possible, every member of the
former language branches of our
party should be gotten to attend these
language membership meetings.
Those language party members who
have not yet registered to date should
then be registered at the language
fraction meeting and thus be brot back
into the party. At these meetings all
the comrades of the particular nation
atty in question who are already
party members thru being connected
with a shop or street nucleus and
those comrades formerly members of
our language branches who register
for reorganization at these meetings
are to be constituted into the, let us
say South Slavic, Finnish, or what
not, language fraction OF the party in
the city.
8. AT each of these language frac-
ton meetings there should be
elected in accordance with the provis-
ions of the party constitution, an exc
cutive committee of the language
fraction for the city to be working
under the direction of the higher party
committee in the city. In cases where
two or more membership meetings of
particular nationality have to be
held in one city, then language frac-
ton executive committee should be
elected at each meeting. The person
mel of the combined committees
elected at each of these meetings is
to be the city language fraction exc
cutive committee.
The party district committee in cit
ies where this committee is located or
the city executive committee in the
other cities shall attach one Of its
members as a representative to each
of these language fraction executive
committees in the various cities. The
party representative has a voice and
vote.
Constituting the Language Fraction
Executive Committee.
4. Our next problem is: what shall
guide us in determining the compost
ton Of the language fraction execu-
| tive committees? Who shall be mem
bers of these language fraction execu-
tive committees? There are two ways
of approaching this question.
(a) First of all, our aim should be
to have as members Of these Ian
guage fraction executive committees
the leading, the most capable, the
most active comrades of the national
| ity in question.

Meetings
BY JAY LoVEsToNE.

DURING the last few months the or
- ganization department has concen-
trated on registering the party mem
bership and recognizing it on the
basis of shop and street nuclei. In
order to hasten the reorganization
and in order to mobilize all our ener-
gies for this purpose we have DELHI
erately laid less stress on the question
of language fractions, workers clubs
and trade union fractions.
Our immediate organizational tasks
are:
l. The organization Of efficient Ian
guage fractions of the workers Of the
various nationalities belonging to our
party.
2. The organization Of workers
clubs to draw closer to the party pro-
letarians Of various nationalities,
workers who are not yet Commun-
lists.
3. The organization of a strong
trade union fraction apparatus.
4. Putting the shop nuclei, the
street nuclei, the language fractions
and the trade union fractions to work;
energizing or activizing them, so to
say. In short, we must now make
every shop and street nucleus a func-
tioning, a working, living active unit
of the party.
How Shall We Organize Language
Fractions?
Every district organizer, in coop
Grafton with the various language dis
trict organizers in his territory, should
proceed Immediately to begin or to
complete the organization of language
fractions in his district. The steps for
the organization Of these language
fractions should be along the follow
ing lines:
1. General membership meetings Of
all party members Of a particular ma
tionality should be called in each city.
For example, let US say that there
are two Jewish branches in the city
of Chicago. A meeting of all the
Jewish party members found in these
two branches should be called in the
city Of Chicago. In city like New
York, where there are many Jewish
branches and where there are several
sections and many sub-sections, it
would perhaps be better to combine
the Jewish membership Of several sec
tons and to have two membership
meetings of the Jewish party mem
bers in different sections Of the city.
Each of these membership meetings
would consist of the Jewish party
members in several combined sec
TONS
The same rule, of course applies to
the party members of the other ma
tionalities.
