The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1926-04-13

The workers. Each individual nucleus
and fractional member must be in
daily touch with the social-democratic,
syndicalist and non-party workers. He
must influence them, form working
groups with them, draw them into the
united front committees and lead them
into action.
Every Communist must be revo-
lutionary organizer organizing the ac-
tivity of the workers outside of the
party The speaker then quoted the
example of the women delegate meet
ings.
In several countries, in Germany
and in Great Britain, for instance,
modest work of this sort has already
been begun, but it cannot really be
called a system of women delegates
For the correct application of this
system there must be: Q) the cleo
ton of women delegates from the
shops, (2) the holding of periodical
meetings, and 90 the organization of
the current activity. For this pur-
pose the women delegates must be d.
vided into various groups for activity
upon various fields, in the shops, in
the trade unions, in the co-operatives,
in the Red aid, etc. 1t is also neces-
sary that the women delegates report
upon the work to the women in the
shops. We must concentrate the party
work amongst the women, above all
upon the women in the shops.
Urges Work Among Women.
TT is true, it would be easier to form
women's organizations like the So
cial-democrats do, where the wives of
comrades and their friends come, but
such women organizations are very
often worthless and the working
women usually do not come to such
organizations. The parties have not
yet taken the work amongst the
women seriously enough. They recog-
nize, it is true, the importance of this
work, but they say, 1--WE have neither
sufficient workers nor sufficient time"
But one must always have time for
the work amongst the working women.
1t is of extreme importance that lead
ing male comrades from the central
district leaderships should be drawn
into the organizations for the work
amongst the women.
The illegal parties work, unfortu-
nately, rather too much under ground.
We must utilize all the legal posi-
bilities much more.
The commission for the work
amongst the masses will present spe-
cial resolutions upon the formation
of sympathetic mass organizations for
definite aims, upon the peasant or
CARNATIONS, upon the work in the CO.
operatives, upon the work in the sport
clubs and upon the non-party publish
ing activities of the enlarged E. c.
G. l.
Naturally, the adoption Of the reso-
| lutions alone does npt mean very
much. Everything depends upon how
they are carried out. The purpose of
the commission was to draw the. at
Itention of the parties to the following
tasks: to build up not only the nuclei
and the fractions, but also to organize
the work amongst the non-party
masses. Not only agitation and prop
uganda, not only the political mobili-
cation of the masses, but also the or
ganizing of the Communist influence
lamongst the masses.
Not only recruit new members, but
also organize non-party sympathizing
mass organizations for definite ends
Not only organize mass meetings,
campaigns and demonstrations now
and again, but organize them sys-
tematically and utilize them by pick
ing out the most active elements for
the current work under the leader
ship of the Communist Party. Above
all. the organization of the daily revo-
lutionary petty work of each individ-
ual comrade amongst the non-party
masses. (Applause)
cesehke on Women's Work.
NOMRADE GESCHKE spoke as the
~ first speaker in the discussion and
stressed the utterances of Kunsinen
upon the necessity of the work
amongst the proletarian women.
Kuusinen says that apart from the
Russian party no section of the Comm
tern has made the women's delegate
meetings a permanent section Of its
work.
We must, however, point out some
thing which Comrade Kuusinen forgot
and that is that in various countries,
England, America, Canada, Norway,
Austria, Czecho-Slovakia, Italy and
France there exist side by side with
these womens delegate meetings
which are only fragmentarily carried
out, non-party women's organizations
The question Of the relationship OF
the party towards these women's or
CARNATIONS is very important because
the hostile parties utilize the women's
Organizations to great extent. In
Germany, for instance, women's de-
partments are utilized for strike
breaking work.
Special women's sections exist in
