picket line of six persons. W
Itwas In front of the Passalc W6Ss-

minutes to sexen. We were singing
songs in the picket line when four
policemen caMeover and said: "WhGrs

and taken to the police station, and
while going up they beat us up badly
When the police asked us questions,
and II you answered yes or no, they
hit you with their clubs and fists.
Next morning we had trial before
Judge Davidson of Passaic court. We
were tried and here are the results of
the cases: Joe Bokovitch, 80 days;
Sam Lachuk, 80 days; Andy Bokousky,
10 days. We were then sent to the
Paterson county jail.

However, Colonel Raymond Sheldon
and his class will not get by very long
with the bunk that they are issuing
out to young workers. The memories
of the last world war are still ripe in
the minds of a large section of the
young workers, and they are learning
how to fight against their real enc
mics, the boss class. That is why
large numbers Of young workers are
raising the slogan: Boycott the G. M.

no one else was allowed to see him.
Everyone could see that Andy was
framed up, for when he was arrested
the first time for singing in the picket
line he got 80 days, on which he got
an appeal, so the Judge, seeing Andy
for the second time, figured; Well, he
got away the first time. Wen fix you
this time. So he put an insanity
charge against Andy.
On Saturday afternoon the lawyer
came and took the three comrades
out, and Andy was left in alone. You
canndt take a person out If he is
charged with insanity, so you see why
Judge Davidson put that charge
against Andy.
Well, Saturday afternoon the doctor
came. They called Andy Bokousky
into the office. What is the matter
with you, Andy?" well, doc, am
charged with insanity" well, Andy,
you don't look insane" Andy said, Il
hope I don't" when IS your time up
Andy?" My time ia up Sunday"
We'll, you go home and keep away
from those guys, for they would turn
a man with brains crazy" Andy said,
81 will do that, doc"
Andy Bokousky served the 10 days
and came out to see all his fellow
workers with lots of happiness. He
told them about the jail house and the
workers told him to forget about it,
for it was all a frame up. At this
Andy put a great smile on his face,
showing he is happy to be with the
fellows after a good 10 days rest.

work, and to conduct tenacious fight
FOR simple concrete immediate de-
mands of the workers in question,
above all thru local united front COM
mittees. Unprepared approach to the
masses directly in the name of the
Communist Party (Which was done
recently in the anthracite miners
strike) does not lead to the desired
Teuslts and must therefore be avoided
AS soon as opportunities reveal them
selves in a trade union for gaining
la leading position by the application
Of the tactic of the united front, such
opportunities must always be taken
advantage of in a skillful manner.
One of the most important tasks of
the Communist Party is the struggle
for power in the trade unions, which,
of course, must be carried on in con-
formity with the principles and tactics
Of the Comintern and which must not
be permitted to degenerate into an I'M
principled chase after office.
In the formation and work of the
Communist trade union fractions, the
greatest care must be taken that the
Communists never isolate themselves
from the rest of the workers. Seces-
sion movements and the formation of
parallel trade unions should not be
instigated or encouraged in any form. :
TO- AS far as the policy of the
Party fractions in the T. U. E. IL is
concerned, they should support the
proposal for a radical revision of its
general program. The Party members
must understand that an organization
which is called upon to embrace not
only Communist workers, but also
sympathizing workers and non-Party
workers, cannot and should not have
a purely Communist program. Such an
organization must conduct it's work so
that it WILL REALLY GET THE OP-
IPORTUNITY OF CARRYING OUT
THE TACTICS OF THE UNITED
FRONT, that is, it must put forward
a number of immediate demands
which will unite the vanguard with
the broad non-Party masses, and will
pot repel them.
I'll. 1t would be wrong to place the
blame for the fact that the Party made
a number of mistakes in its program
and in its work on this or that in
dividual; the mistakes, however. must
be rectified at whatever cost.
u. The Enlarged Plenum of the
p. c. C. I. relies on all the members
of the American Party to carry out the
adopted resolution conscientiously.
The Enlarged Plenum of the e. c. c. /.
declares that the complete and uncon-
ditional abandonment of the factional
struggle is demand of the Comintern
and that everyone who violates this,
demand, must reckon on the most
serious consequences for himself.
Discussions are in the interests of
the Party, when they serve to achieve
theological clarity the deepening and
Strengthening of the Party and do not
bring about the Discrimination or dis
Indignation of the Party.
10. 1t remains one of the most inn
portant tasks of the Communist Party
to recruit into the unions the hitherto
unorganized millions of workers. This
is fundamental step towards the rev.

olutionizing of the American labor
movement. The organizing program
must be to build up the existing
unions and to support the establish
ment of new unions in industries
where no unions exist An important
phase of the campaign to organize the
unorganized should be directed to-
wards the elimination of the company
unions, with the slogan Destroy the
company unions and build trade
unions" Where the company unions
have mass participation by the work
ers, our comrades must penetrate
these organizations, raise the demands
Of the workers, and utilize the result
ant movement as a starting point for
the formation Of real trade unions.
Ia. The Party must further devote
more attention than heretofore to the
work among the Negroes. This work
will attain greater political signifc-
ance from day to day.
10. The Enlarged PleRWm Of the
E. G. G. I. holds the view that the agra
rian crisis, becoming again more acute,
must induce the Party to devote the
greatest attention to the FARMER
PROBLEM.
/16. The Party must carry on an
energetic campaign among the prole-
tartan women and endeavor to draw
them into the trade unions and into
the class struggle.
IT, Greater attention must be given
to the building of mass Young Com
munist League and Pioneer movement.
In the future the Y. w. L.swill serve
as a reservoir of trained Party mem
bers. The slogan "A League unit
wherever a Party unit exists" issued
by the G. e. G. is correct and steps
should now be taken to carry this
into effect. Careful supervision and
mutual agreement must be exercised
in the transferring of League members
into Party work, especially at the
present time when the League is
numerically weak.
Is. The Enlarged Plenum of the E.
&c. c. I. points out to the American
Communist Party the tremendous i'm
portance which the labor movement
land the movement for independence
lis assuming in the countries of South
America. There is no doubt that in
the future struggle for theEoverthrow
Of the imperialist yoke OF the bour-
geoisie of the United States, the work
ing class and the peasantrg of Latin
America will play a tremendous role.
The American Communist Party must
not be party of self-centerea interests,
but must become a Party wEich under
stands how to raise the ulestion of
the hegemony of the proletAriat in the
whole movement for freedom, which is
diracted AGAINST fha inartrialists af
the United States. Moreover, it is
necessary that the Workers lCommun-
ist) Party maintain the CLOSEST contact
with the labor movement in The Colon
les of Cuba, the Philippines. ETC., and
support them in their fight against
American imperialism. Ill
In view of this, the Executive Com
mittee of the Comintern iIistrlets the
Central Committee of the American
Communist Party to devote tie most
serious attention to the tasks died.

Not Hard to Protect
Trees From Rodents

Rabbits and mice destroy thou
sands Of dollars worth of young trees
annually, according to the observa-
lions Of well-known fruit specialist,
who recommends the use Of some
scheme Of protecting the growths.
Several kinds of protectors are COM
monty used for this purpose, namely,
heavy roofing paper which does not
contain tar, or wood veneer protector,
as sold by nurseries and fruit supply
houses. However, a galvanized wire
Of one-quarter Of an inch mesh Is
said to be the best While It is more
expensive than the other two, It will
last for many years and does not
have to be removed from the tree
In the spring, as should be done
with the paper and wood projections.
The protectors should be placed
around the trees in such way that
mice cannot get in from underneath
and at height Of about 80 inches,
30 that the entire trunk may be pro-
tected. II the wire mesh is used, cut
ting the wire Is advised in order that
the protection formed will be four or
five inches in diameter to allow for
several years growth Of the trunk.
