that the Russian Trade Unions had

Why should aid from other workers
be refused at time like this?

Monday the workers were confident

the revolutionary struggle which have
sprung from the reorganization of the
party. The work of the Ford nucleus
of the Iarty stands out in this field,
showing the great possibilities of the
new form of organization
The party members in the Ford fac
tories in Detroit carried on no work
directed toward drawing the great
mass of workers in these factories
into the class struggle before the re-
organization. These workers were
part Of the mass of workers in Detroit
who might, more or less accidentally
be reached by the party agitation,
just as workers in other factories,
more or less accidentally, might be
reached by the party agitation and
propaganda work.
What is the situation since the or
ganization of the Ford nucleus of
party members? The party members
speak directly to the workers with
whom they are in daily contact. They
publish the Ford Worker thru which
they speak to from ten to. fifteen
thousand workers in the Ford plants
each month, raise the grievances of
these workers, relate them to the gem
eral class struggle OF the workers,
and make them the starting point for
the organization and mobilization OF
these workers for the struggle in their
interests.
They do not speak to these workers
only about the questions arising in the
Ford factories. These are correctly
given an important place in their agi-
tation, but the Ford Worker also
raises the question of independent
political action and calls upon the
workers to support the program Of the
Workers (Communist) Party in the
election campaigns. The celebration
of the anniversary of the proletarian
revolution in Russia is brought to
their attention, its meaning in relation
to their struggles explained and par
ticipation and support of these cele-
brations won.
What is being done by the Ford
Nucleus of the party is being done by
from thirty to forty nuclei in other
factories. Not yet on the same scale,
but yet effectively and with similar
results in building the influence of
the party.
Can anyone doubt with such ex-
periences before them that thru the
reorganization the party has created
more powerful weapon for itself
thru which to win the workers for
the militant class struggle and even
tually for the revolutionary struggle
against capitalism?
The achievements of the party thru
the reorganization are so striking, so
outstanding that they must convince
the most skeptical
The work before the party is to
increase the number Of effectively
functioning shop nuclei from the two
score now in existence to hundreds.
Even with it's present strength in the
party there is the possibility of de-
veloping two or three hundred shop

organizations of the workers. The
previous form of organization Of the
party did not establish such contact.
The members OF the party met in Ian
guage branches and territorial branch
es, segregated from the life and strug-
giles Of the workers.
Such form of organization could
serve as a propaganda society endea-
voring from the outside to interest the
workers in Communist principles, but
not as Communist Party taking part
in all the struggles of the workers,
formulating programs for these strug-
giles and stimulating the workers to
action in support of these struggles
The reorganizationsb the party has
changed all this. Thru the shop nu-
clei the party now has direct contact
with the workers in hundreds of fac
tories. They are Yin a position to
make these grievances the starting
point to draw the workers into strug-
giles against the capitalists and to
make the experiences of these strug,
giles the means of winning the work
ers for support of the Communist pro-
gram and policies.
The party fractions organize in the
trade unions, the co-operatives, the
workers fraternal organizations and in
every other form of workers organiza-
ton establish similar contact, and
the basis for the struggle in these
organizations in support of policies to
advance the workers interest.
n While the party is still young in ex-
perience in utilizing the contacts with
the workers and opportunities for
Communist work which the new form
of organization has created, it already
has achievements to its credit which
indicate the power which 1t can ex-
ercise thru this new weapon of the
revolutionary movemsnt-organiza
in shop and street nuclei and frac-
lions.
The party strength in the Passaic
strike was primarily the result of the
new form of organization. 1t was
thru the party nuclei that the first
steps toward the formation of an or
ganization of the workers were car
ried out 1t was thru the party nuclei
functioning within the skeleton or
ganization set up in the mills that the
workers were modified in support OF
The strike.
There are scores Of factories in
which the party has nuclei which are
working along the same line and in
which the party influence has already
been extended thru the same form of
work. There are hundreds of factories
in which, thru proper training of the
nuclei, the same form of work can be
developed The party policies are no
longer thrown into the air with the
hope that they will reach some work
ers who will respond to them. They
are based upon the concrete experien-
ces of the workers and presented
directly to the workers with whom
the party members are in contact.

The Street Nuclei.
TIME development Of the work OF
i the street nuclei has not gone as
far as that of the shop nuclei. Most
of the street nuclei still function as
did the territorial branches of the
party. They must become more than
mere meeting places of party mem
bers. The street nuclei must become
centers of agitation and Communist
work in the neighborhood in which
they are organized They must dis
tribute the agitational literature of the
party, arrange meetings into which
the workers are drawn, develop the
circulation OF the general party press,
etc. 3>4
There are many question affecting
the life of the workers in the sections
in which they are organized which
can be made the basis of their agita-
tion-housing, transportation, sanitary
conditions and the like. These phases
of the work of the street nuclei have
so far remained untouched and must
be developed together with the
strengthening of the work of the shop
nuclei.
Work in Relation to the Reorsanized
@s Party.
THE central committee has emphas-
lied the many weaknesses which
still ov;cf u, raJo tim ~ +l,o ,,o,t,, -,
organization and has adopted pro-
gram Of work to overcome these weak
nesses.
The training of officials for the shop
and street nuclei, the development of
leading committees in the sections
and sub-sections which can direct the
work of the nuclei closer contact be-
tween the leading committees and the
nuclei, agendas for discussion of party
problems by both the shop and street
nuclei and to make these meetings
something more than barren taking
up of routine questions, the solution of
the difficult language problem which
exists in our party made up Of eigSf-
teen language groups, are all prob
lens which must be solved by the
party.
The party can overcome all these
difficulties which exist in the reorgan-
lied party by systematic study. The
central committee has Instructed all
the leading committees to give close
attention to these questions and on
the basis Of the acual experiences to
formulate the measures thru which
these problems can be solved.
a What stands out most sharply in
relation to the reorganization, how
ever, is that in spite of all the exist
ing weaknesses, the reorganization
has strengthened the party for its
work. The party has. created a new
weapon for the revolutionary strug-
gle thru use of which it will be able
to go forward faster in its work of
winning the American workers for, the
revolutionary struggle against capital
ism.

Workers (communist) Party
EDITORS Note: This is the fifth
of the series OF articles on the
discussions and resolution of the
meeting of the central committee
of the Workers (Communist)
Party held during the month of
Noyember,]
TNHE meeting of the central commit
4 tee Of the Workers (Communist)
Party in November, for the first time,
had on its agenda the discussion OF
the organization problems of the
party. The question of strengthening
the party organization was given at
tention equal to the discussion of the
political situation and the formulation
Of policies to increase the influence Of
the party. The central committee EN-
phasized the Importance of crystalliz-
ing the influence gained by the party
into organization strength at the same
time that it carries on its work to
extend its influence.
The party has not been giving suf-
ficient attention to the organizationai
side of it's work. 1t has not under
stood that the party organization is
the instrument upon which all its
political campaigns depend, and that
if this instrument is not in good work
ing order the best results cannot be
achieved from the work done to re-
volutionize the American workers. 1t
instructed the leading committees of
the party that during the next six
months period at least half Of the
energies of the party must go into
the work of strengthening the party
organization.
The Reorganization of the Party
THE central committee had before
L it a years experience in relation
to the reorganization of the party. 1t
established the fact that the building
of a centralized party organization
based up upon shop and street nuclei.
in place of the language and territorial
branches and party consisting of a
federation of language sections was
correct. While the party has experien-
ced some loss of membership thru the
reorganization, the reorganized party
with less members is a much stronger
instrument for revolutionary work
than it was before the reorganization.
NO voice was raised in the meeting
of the central committee for back
ward step in relation to the reorgani-
cation. What is needed in the party
is more attention to training the party
members and party units in how to
carry on their work, not backward
step toward the discarded form of or
ganization.

Achieved.
