The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1926-01-06

so far as its inner life is concerned
has been the breaking down Of the
factional lines in the party thru the
adoption of a unity resolution which
was unanimously submitted to the
central executive committee by the
political committee and endorsed by
the central executive committee by a
vote of II to 5. The membership
meetings which have been held in all
the larger centers of the parry with
central executive representatives ad-
dressing them have shown that the
party is ready for elimination of the
factionalism which has hindered us
from throwing our whole energies into
the work among the masses. Seventy
five per cent of the membership have
voted for the unity resolution. The
sharp fractional lines existing at the
convention and after have been swept
away. There is still a very small op-
position in the party which persists
In carrying on the fractional fight but
conditions are favorable for the elm
nation of these remnants of the fac
tional struggle. The campaign initi-
ated by the political committee for the
unification of the party must be COM
pleted. The immediate future must be
a mobilization of the membership in
the actual mass struggles. The
achievement of this will aid greatly
in breaking down the factionalism
which still remains in the party.
ORGANIZATION: The reorgan-
IL ization of the party will be dealt
with in a special report. 1t may be
noted, however, that the political com
mite has taken up the work of re-
organization with the greatest energy
and striven forward to complete the
task as directed by the fourth ma
tional convention. In the leading dis
tricts of the party the task of reor-
ganfzation is fairly complete or well
under way. There are still many
problems to be solved in the work of
making the new units of the party
function efficiently. The work Of or
ganizing the language functions sys-
tematically is still to be undertaken
and there is every promise that within
another month or two the party will
no longer consist of language and ter
ritorial branches but of shop and
street nuclei with language fractions
organized for the work among the
various language groups. The reor-
ganization has been one Of the most
important items in our party work
since the convention.
THE YOUNG WORKERS LEAGUE:
The Young Workers Communist
League has not had sufficient support
from the party in the past. The po-
litical committee has endeavored to
become more closely connected with
the work of the league and to aid the
young comrades in building up their
organization. The relationship be-
tween the league and the party are to-
day more favorable than at any time
in the past and plans are being worked
out for a joint campaign by the
league and the party to build units of
the league wherever the party exists.
The work of unification of the league
has made even greater progress than
that which has been achieved in the
party.
THE DAILY WORKER: The situa-
l. ton of The DAILY WORKER
Immediately after the convention was
that Of a deep and serious crisis which
threatened the life of our paper. Dur
ing the succeeding two months, this
crisis became even sharper so that
early in November there was again a
great danger that The DAILY WORK
Err would cease to appear. The po-
litical committee was compelled to de-
vote great part of the energies Of
the party to meet this situation. II
was necessary to save The DAILY
WORKER at all costs. The facts
we're presented to the party and the
response which came from the party
is an indication of the life and vital.
ity Of our organization. Thru the
mobilization of the party for The
DAILY WORKER, $4,000 has been
raised in the Save The DAILY
WORKER Fund" and very likely the
amount will increase to $4,000 when
all the reports are in.
While the situation of The DAILY
WORKER is not yet secure one the
worst crisis has been overcome.
