TIME Importance Of the campaign to
i intensity our activities in the
trade unions that the party is conduct
ing at present, cannot be overesti-
mated. On the results achieved in
this compaign depend the success or
failure of many mass activities of the
party in the future.
The reorganization of the party has
made the accomplishment Of this task
possible. A large portion Of the party
membership, formerly isolated in ma
tional groups and confined largely to
social and language activities have
now become a part of the basic party
units and are learning to participate
in the mass activities of the party.
The task now is to permeate every
member of the party with the under
standing of the Importance Of trade
union activity.
Overcome Obstacles.
Our activity in the trade unions up
20 the present has not produced the
maximum of results on account of two
major obstacles: % a small portion
only of the membership eligible to
trade unions are members Of the trade
unions; (2) only a small portion of
those that belong to trade unions are
actively engaged in carrying on Com
munist activity in their organizations,
To illustrate, we have IS members
employed in one industry in Chicago;
but 80 are members of a union and
only Is at best are active in those
unions. Those facts speak for them
selves. Before we claim to be a Boil
shevik party, we must get rid of con-
ditions that are relics of social-demo-
cratic impotence.
Our great leader said: "A Commun-
est is man of the masses" One can
not lay claim OF being a man of the
masses Just because he works IN
factory with other workers, eats in
the same restaurant with other work
ers or entertains himself in moving

the place Of the Communist is in
there. Not to cater to its prejudices
and sink down to its low level of
class understanding, but by active
participation in its struggles and il
Illustrative propaganda, step by step to
raise the class consciousness of the
workers in those organizations and
lead them on to the realization that
only in the Communist program and
leadership in the Communist Party
can they find their emancipation.
Some comrades advance the argu-
ment that they belong to unions and
have lost hope of breaking the
etrangle-hold Of the bureaucrats and
are therefore unwilling to contribute
financially to the upkept of those
bureaucrats by paying dues into those

How Restaurant Work

BY Young Worker Correspondent.
= Near the Painters Labor Exchange,

there is a restaurant, where painters
come around in the evening trying to
find work.
The restaurant is always busy

about 20 years old, employed there.

try when the waiter came near our
place and said, 1--WE have it still
worse"
We tried to come in conversation
with him, but it was impossible for
him, because he was all alone in that
place and had to be waiter, cashier
and very often help to the cook. And
the place full with customers.
Little by little we found this out
from him: This restaurant was sup
posed to be one of the better ones,
where the waiter does not depend so
much on tips. But nevertheless, it's
rotten enough. The hours are from
$3.50 p. m. to 2:3O p. m, seven days
a week, total of n hours a week for
