SHORTCOMINGS HANDLING
OF MASS STRUGGLES

wise we never pass the paper stage of or
ganization and do not reach the masses.
One must nat become lost in organzational
detail but ..ealthy reaction to the present
period of polemics and theses with phrases
meaningless to the masses and with speeches
and articles somewhat of the German Philoso-
piers type, that start with the gaseous stage
of our planets and end with who knows, is
essential A special example of the opposite
of the present stage is the short, simple and
yet correct Marxism articles written by Lenin
from time to time on the most vital problems
facing the movement If he had used our pres
ent style of writing phrases $50 no one could
find deviations) he would possibly end like
our present theoreticians often end with
phrases mechanically thrown together, with the
life of the struggle and the means of executing
it buried before they were born.
A very bad tendency is our regular habit
to pull up stakes just as soon as the agitational
benefit stage is past. In strikes and struggles
in the peak of the agitational tage, when the
majority are in movement and rally to our
slogans it is easy to be ''leaders of the masses
and it is not easy to distinguish the loudmouth
empty head from the real revolutionist. But
the stage following this, when reaction sets in,
when success or failure, or retreat to re-
organize or consolidate the fruits is necessary
this is the period to test the leaders and our
forces and especially the vanguard.
In the beginning of the struggle the leading
committee must make provisions for the stage
following the agitational stage otherwise even
if we overcome the lack of preparations We
will not overcome the pulling-stakes ending.
Preparations for the struggle and preparations
for the last stage are essential. The masses
support of the struggle recede with the agita-
tional stage but we as revolutionists must sue
coed in the next stage, otherwise we move in
vicious and brutal circle.
Every working class struggle holds its mass
support as long as the struggle proceeds up
ward in its political level and when the tide
turns or recedes, temporarily organizational
ability of the vanguard must carry. through
otherwise our forces will be unable to maintain
our gains and prepare for new offense.

During the course of the last eighteen

Factory Nuclus Ia SKIS in
Recruiting

The following plan has been worked out by
the Detroit District;
l. Make the Nucleus real factory Nucleus,
and not only in name This means that the
nucleus must take up the problems of the work
ers in the factory, the building of the union,
the unemployment situation, etc. Carry on
regular and systematic activity in the shop,
publish factory paper, recruit new members,
bring all the Party campaigns into the fac
tory, distribute the Daily Worker, Labor Unity,
etc. The nucleus must become the leader of
the struggle of the masses, constantly be on
the look out for the possibility of developing
struggles and not wait until they occur in spite
of the inactivity of the nucleus. The nucleus
must also take up all the political questions
of the Party work among the masses and the
internal life of the Party. The nucleus must
see that every Party member is active in the
factory.
We must overcome the present condition
when the agenda of the average nucleus of
certain factory may as well be the agenda of
the shop street nucleus anywhere in the
country. Make the factory nucleus real fac
tory nucleus.
2. In the present recruiting campaign the
nucleus must double the membership at pres
ent
3. The nucleus must from among the work
in the factory secure as many subscrip-
tons for the Daily Worker as there are men,
bers in the nucleus
4. The nucleus must sell twice as many
Daily Workers every day, as there are men,
bers in the nucleus.
5. The nucleus must publish regularly
factory paper. Appoint at once: u An editor
ial committee to start preparing the material.
q finance and distribution committee to
devise ways and means of publishing the shop
paper, and organize it's sale and distribution.
6. Every nucleus must sell the amount of
literature as outlined under the tasks for every
Party member. Also, every nucleus must aim
to distribute 1000 leaflets of every one issued
by the Party.
7. Every nucleus must secure in the drive at
least 20 per cent of the new members, Negro
workers. Attention must also be given to the
recruiting of women from the factory.
8. Every nucleus must help build unit of
the Young Communist League in the factory.
O. Every nucleus must form shop COM
mittee or in the of the auto workers,
shop local of the Auto Workers Union.
10 Every nucleus must organize for the

PARTY RECRUITING DRIVE

distribution of the Labor Unity, and the Auto
Workers News in the auto industry.
IL. Every nucleus must arrange regular
meetings to which sympathetic workers are in
vited, and an educational program organized.
IL. Every nucleus must regularly organize
discussion of the Party questions in order to
educate the membership and raise their political
and theoretical level
Organizational Tasks.
1. Beginning with the first week in Janu-
airy, all nuclei must meet once week.
2. Special visiting committees must be form
ed to get back into activity all those who do
not come to the meetings regularly. These
comrades can be seen in the shop or in the
home.
g. The nucleus must complete the registra-
ton of all comrades not yet registered. Bring
all registrations to the district office.
A. The second meeting in January is to be
reorganization meeting. Special efforts
must be made to get full attendance at this
nucleus meeting. At this meeting the officers
of the nucleus are to be elected. They are to
be:
% Secretary Organizer.
~ Financial Secretary.
(3) Agitprop Director.
az Industrial Organizer
81 Daily Worker and Literature Agent
(6) Negro Organizer.
% Women's Work Organizer
These comrades are to constitute the Execu-
tive Committee of the factory nucleus. Fac
tory nucleus of less than IL members should
elect only an Executive Committee of COM
rades.
5. The nucleus must collect every week from
every member two per cent of his wages as
dues payments. Comrades unemployed must
take exempt stamps if they cannot pay, and
thus maintain themselves in good standing The
nucleus keeps 10 per cent of the dues payment.
6. The nucleus must keep a record of the
activity of every member, and be ready at any
time to report to the District Committee on
the activity of every Party member.
The District Committee is now taking steps
to organize on functioning basis the Sec
ton Committee. The Section Committee will
be charged with helping the nuclei in the sec
ton to carry on their work. To get members
of the street nucleus in the section to help the
factory nucleus in its work, as for example:
distribution of shop papers, literature, ETC. The
section will, also organize local mass meetings,
local affairs, organize local distribution of
literature in the factories or from house to
house.
Thru the establishment of good function
ing machinery in the units in the sections we
will be able to improve our work, give better
attention to all details, and overcome many
of the present organizational shortcomings,
with reference to assigning new members, etc.

The Role of the Church
By MYRA PAGE.
(Conti11ated)

NON'NN'N'NN/
Village churches are one of the most effec-
tive means of company propaganda. Poor
White and Negro labor is additionally reli-
gious, and management has utilized this fact
to its own advantage. Every village, with
rare exceptions, has one more company
owned churches and company employed pas
tors From one-half to two-thirds of the vii
layers, in the places where we worked, at
tended Sunday church services regularly, Tor
this is one of the few diversions and social
gatherings which life on the hill offers.
There are few mill workers families who
are actively engaged in church affairs, how
ever Church leadership depends primarily
on the minister and his family, aided by social
workers, teachers, and mill superintendent
and foremen and their wives. Like their fore
fathers, mill villagers are largely Baptists
and Methodists and the gospel they hear
preached is 'the good old religion of soul
saving and repentance" of eXhortatlon to
meek endurance of this worlds hardships with
faith in the reward hereafter in a heaven of
peace and glory, combined with continual
warnings to the wicked and unbeeving that
eternal damnation in a hell of fire and brim-
stone shall be their fate. 1t is a theological
and irrational doctrine, emotionally preached
and emotionally accepted. Superstitious be-
liefs are commonly accepted, about gods in
reference in a most minute way, in human
affairs, either to incte or to prevent some
act, or to reward OF punish some individuals
or groups conduct. Accidents, condolences,
illness and happenings in nature are frequent
ly interpreted as "signs from heaven" The
social doctrines which the pastors promote are
extremely reactionary, including euloges of
the family as the basis of christian civiliza-
ton and laments on its signs of decay, ac
ceptance of things they are as right and
inevitable and part of gods will, and the nee
essity of being faithful and appreciative work
men. Mill preachers do not concern them
selves with the significance, from social and
christian point of view," of child labor, long
hours, low standard of living and the denial
of the right to form unions. They keep silent
on these matters altogether, mention them
only to denounce the "reds" who would upset
the peace and harmony which is supposed to
exist on southern cotton mill hills. The rare
minister who has favored some social reform
has been quickly removed from his post.
Of four ministers whom l ran across in the
villages, all had nothing but praise for what
the textile industry and it's benevolent owners
had done for southern labor; and all referred
to mill workers as shiftless and generally IL
responsible! Two of them thought however,
that mill people had some latent powers of
leadership. One pastor ardently defended
child labor, saying that mill peoples children
were healthier and happier in the nils than
