Trailing IN the POLITICAL WOTk Oh Ju6
party and must always be acquainted
with the political problems of the
party
Stachel then pointed out that wher-
ever there was function subsection
executive the nuclei were functioning
and called on the functionaries to
strengthen the sub-sections and build
up the sections to be able to carry on
work more Independently and pay
more attention to the nuclei and be
the connecting link between the nuclei
and the district committee. He point
ed out that the work of the nuclei
while it has greatly improved is still
far from satisfactory.
Work in Non-Party Organizations.
AS to the work in non-party organi-
cations, Stachel did not speak on the
work in the trade unions, as this was
to be discussed at a separate function
aries meeting, but spoke on the work
in other non-party organizations, par
ticularly the language organizations.
He pointed out that after the reorgan-
ization and the formation of language
fractions our work in the different
workers language organizations has
increased tremendously. This can be
seen, he said, by the splendid repre-
sentation of these organization at the
conference for the Protection of the
Foreign-Born.
Control Of Activity.
Stachel also pointed out the impors
tant role that the problem of organiza-
ton was assuming in the party. The
party, he said, is becoming organiza-
ton conscious. The party is today
discussing the minutest detail of how
to carry on the work and is rapidly
learning how to use its forces. The
party is establishing more and more
control over the work of every party
member. The party is putting into
practice the slogan every member an
active member"
The functionaries must go back to
their respective units and see to it
that every comrade is drawn into ac-
tiyity, that every member is assigned
a definite task, and that the nucleus
exercises a control over the activity
of every member. If this is done we
will soon have an apparatus that will
be capable of adapating itself to
changed situations that a Communist
Party may face at any time, and the

its campaigns.
After the report of Stachel, Katter-
field, district DAILY WORKER agent,
outlined the DAILY WORKER sub
drive. He pointed out that in the
past the membership and the party
units did not give sufficient attention
to the building up of the DAILY
WORKER, and said that if we are to
be successful in our work We have to
build up a powerful DAILY WORKER.
Following the report there was
general discussion of all reports, each
speaker getting five minutes. Over
20 functionaries participated in the
discussion, and many of them made
very valuable contributions to the
party by relating their experience in
the shop and in the work Of the street
nuclei.
Many of the comrades discussed the
united front tactics and expressed
their approval of the report of Vein
stone and the activity of the district
in utilizing correctly the united front
tactic and in mass work. The social
lists in the unions and the socialist
party was also discussed.
Lively Discussion.
The discussion was the best that
was ever had in this district, both
from the point of view of the number
that participated in the discussion and
the fact that they were all comrades
who were giving their experiences and
the general spirit OF the discussion
While there was criticism on the part
of some of the comrades who were inn
patient and did not see the bigger prob
lens involved in reorganization, the
discussion was entirely free from any
fractional spirit that was so character
istic of party meetings in the past.
The entire meeting and the discussion
was thoroly constructively
The conference-adjourned after brief
summaries by Weinstone and Stachel
following the discussion.
Another conference similar to this
one will be held shortly to discuss the
industrial work and agitprop work of
the party.
