BY c. E. RUTHENBERo
General Secretary,

workers (CommuniSt) Party
Editors Note: This is the first of
a series of articles by Comrade
Ruthenberg ON the resolutions and
discussions of the recent meeting of
the central committee of the Work
ers (Communist) Party
v
THE main discussion Of the meeting
i of the central committee of the
Workers (Communist) Party held
November 10th, 18th and 18th was on
the question of the opportunities for
developing the revolutionary workers
movement and building the Workers
Communist Party in the present
period of American imperialist domi-
nation of the world.
The central committee squarely
faced the question whether there was
any basis in the existing situation for
pessimism in regard to the possibili-
ties Of progress in drawing the Amer
lean workers into a militant class
struggle against the capitalists and in
the process of that struggle building
the revolutionary movement and our
party as the leader of that movement.
~
COME pessimism has manifested it.
~ self in the ranks OF our party, re-
aecting a similar state Of mind in the
ranks Of workers. The question which
the central committee set itself to
answer was, whether there Is an
actual basis for this pessimism in the
developments of American capitalism
and the reaction Of the workers to
this development.
The answer which the central COM
mittee gave to this question in its re-
solution was an emphatic mo"
In giving this answer 1t did not hide
from itself or from the party the
actual conditions which exist. 1t
frankly acknowledged the fact that
the organized labor movement in this
country has been steadily moving to
the right during the last four years
and considered the developments of
the capitalist system which is the
basis of this movement.
American imperialism is today the
dominant factor in the capitalist
The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1926-11-28

have proflted thru the crumbs which
American imperialism grants them.
There remain beside these 100000
workers some 20,0OO,0OO unorganized,
semi-skilled and unskilled workers
employed in the great machine in
dustry Of this country who in place
OF sharing in the profits of American
imperialism, are highly exploited and
oppressed by American capitalism.
The figures In regard to production,
wage movements and the cost Of liv-
Ing In this country paint graphic
picture Of the lot of these workers.
According to the figures of the Ma.
tional Industrial Council the produc-
tivity per worker in American indus
tries has increased 4S per cent in the
years from 1919 to 1925. On the
average the American capitalists are
securing 43 per cent more OF products
from every worker employed in our
industries.
For the same period statistics OF the
department Of labor show decrease
Of per cent in the wages Of the
workers as whole and a decrease
Of IL per cent in the cost Of living.
Thus the workers as d whole made a
slight gain in their real wages. There
Is included in this, however, the gains
Of the skilled, organized workers, and
II this is eliminated this period shows
an actual reduction in wages for the
great mass, Of unorganized workers in
the great machine industry of this
country. These unorganized workers
in the great machine industry are not
sharing in the profits of American i'm
perialism.
The dwelling process between the
wages of the skilled, organized work
ers and the unskilled, unorganized
workers, which developed during the
war has been reversed. The gulf be-
tween these two groups of workers is
again widening. The highly exploited
unskilled and semi-skilled workers,
who are not sharing in the9 conces-
sions of American imperialism are
not content. They are not moving to
the right away from the class strug-
gle.
|DASSAIC stands as a striking ex-
L ample of the lot Of these workers.
The fact that the 10000 Passaie work
The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1926-11-28

must be the signal to the party for
more careful, developed program and
more persistent work to find the
issues upon which these workers can
be won away from the class collabora-
ton programs of their official leaders
and drawn into the class struggle with
the mass OF unorganized unskilled
workers.
AS the next article in the discussion
and resolutions OF the central commit
tee will show, in spite of the conces-
sions which the skilled, organized
workers have gained from American
Imperialism, the party has made pro-
gress in its work among these work
ers. Its achievement in this field can
be increased by more work. The in
classification OF the party work among
these workers remains central point
in its program
Forward In the Struggle.
THE conclusion drawn by the cen
l. trail committee after day and
half OF discussion in which the situa-
ton in this country was realistically
examined from the standpoint of the
work Of developing the revolutionary
movement was, that not only is there
no basis for pessimism in regard to
the growth of the movement, but that
the party stands before opportunities.
which, If It mobilizes it strength TO
take full advantage of them, will en-
able us to make great strides for
ward in our work.
The task before the party is not
to find opportunities for revolutionary
! work thru which we can build the
party, but to mobilize the strength of
the party to take full advantage of the
opportunities
The central committee has laid
down the policies which must guide
our work. 1t has formulated pro-
gram of work which, if transformed
into life with the strength of the
party behind it, will enable it to ex-
tend its influence, carry forward the
work of developing a revolutionary
movement and build a more powerful
Communist Party-the leader in the
revolutionary movement against
American capitalism.
The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1926-11-28

ers have stood firm during bitter
struggle Of nearly ten months indi-
Gates the Undesirable conditions which
exist among these workers. There
are thousand PASSAGES in existence
in the United States. There are
twenty million workers, receiving
wages which give them bear exist
ence, suppressed, oppressed and, ex-
plotted under the whip of American
capitalists.
1t is toward these workers that our
party must turn it's face. 1t is these
workers to which it must give hope
by giving leadership and organization
to their struggles. It must do for
them what It has done for the work
ers at Passaic-give them aid in or
ganizing their strength, q program for
their fights and leadership In their
struggles.
1t Is these proletarian workers In
the great machine industry who will
be the backbone OF the revolutionary
movement. 1t is among these work
ers that the party must intrench itself.
Today, in the heydey OF American i'm
perialism, 1t can mobilize these work
ers for action against the capitalist
class, develop the spirit Of militant
class struggle among them, strength
en- the revolutionary movement OF the
workers and in the process build and
strengthen the workers (Communist)
Party.
No Desertlon Of the Struggle Among
the Organized.
WTHILE emphasizing the opportuni-
w ties for revolutionary work among
these unorganized workers in the
great machine industries, the central
committee emphatically warns against
abandoning the work among the or
ganized, skilled workers. Not all of
these workers even are sharing in the
profits of American Imperialism. The
demand of the anthracite miners and
the six month strike to enforce them,
the movement among the railroad
workers for higher wages, show the
possibilities In this field of developing
fights against the capitalists.
The movement toward the right in
the official, organized labor movement,
