This drive can only be successful to
the extent that our Party will partici-
pate in the above activities and make
conscious efforts to gain organiza-
tional results from these activities.
District Executive Committees,
says the Central Executive Commit
tee, must arrange for section men,
bership meetings in the larger cities
and city membership meetings in the
smaller cities to discuss ways and
means of how to conduct this drive,
for distribution Of literature, applica-
ton cards, and other material for the
drive that should be passed down into
the hands of every member of the
shop and street nuclei. At these
mobilization meetings the representa-
tive of the District Executive Com
mittee should make clear the aims of
the drive, the method to be used, etc
Every Party Committee from the dis
tricts down to the various nuclei
executives is to have a special COM
rade appointed as director of this
drive. These directors may in the
higher committees organize a SUBJ
committee to aid them in this work.
Special meetings of functionaries
should be held for the purpose Of
modelling all the leading comrades
in the drive.
Trade Union Fractions
Meetings of trade union fraction
secretaries should be held to mobilize
for the drive in the unions. The
language fraction secretaries should
be called together and their part ex-
planned to them in this drive. Each
district and city shall work out its
activity for the period of these six
weeks, the drive will last to suit the
local situation with special appeals
concentrated in different industries
and territorial divisions. The report
by the director of the drive shall be
on the order of business of every
meeting of the district committees,
city and section committees, etc.
The Organization Department has
outlined the following methods:
The drive shall utilize and en-
phasize special appeals to:
(a) Negro workers.
(b) Women workers.
(c) An especially worked out ap-
peal to attract native American ele-
ments to the Party.
(d) Efforts to secure young work
ers to join the Young Workers
League under the general slogan: "a
League Unit Wherever There is a
Party Unit"
(e) The building up of the
children's movement - The Young
Pioneers.
Every member shall at all times
carry with him application cards.
Every member should at all times
carry with him one or more copies of
the Ruthenberg pamphlet, "The
Party, What 1t Stands For, and Why
Workers Should Join"
Recruiting must not be approached
in an abstract manner. As a rule
when comrade tries to recruit new
members he thinks of the whole
working class-at least, of his entire
union or shop, with the result that he
embraces the whole working class and
succeeds in getting none into the
Party. Comrades must learn to ap-
proach this question in a concrete
manner. Namely, the comrades in the
factories, unions, fraternal organiza-
tions must make list of the various
sympathizers to be approached for
membership.
Some are not yet ready for MEM
bership and should be approached
only with literature and for subscrip-
tions to The DAILY WORKER. Those
that are ready for membership should
be divided up among the comrades in
such a manner that those that have
the best possible contacts with GER
tain sympathizers shall be assigned
to go after those sympathizers. SYM
pathizers and those who are ready
to join the Party can be found out
thru the selling of our literature,
pamphlets, discussions in the fac
tories on current questions of interest
to the workers, etc. Every Party
member is to concentrate on one or
more individuals, learning all about
the personal life, his prejudices, his
illusions, so that he can overcome
these prejudices and illusions and
know what prevents the said worker
from joining the Party and try to
overcome it.
