arrests the Increased persecution VI
foreign-born workers (Greco-Caril-
10 case) and the necessity therefore
of broadening out the work of the
l. L. D., building up a stronger
membership body, connecting the |.
l.. D. closer with the shops and
trade unions, the necessity of the
entire Party regarding defense work
and the building up of the I. L. D.
as of first importance in the pres
ent growing war danger. The cen
tralization of defense work thru the
1. L. D. must be given support by
Communist fractions.
Relief Activities.
The convention greets the activi-
ties Of our district in support of
the miners struggle as showing a
real understanding of Communist
duty, relating the district work with
the national activities, the support
to the needle trades, textile strug-
giles, ETC., and the assistance given
by the Communist fraction in the
! establishment of the permanent re-
lief machinery thru the w. 1. R. The
convention directs the attention of
the Communist. fraction in the w.
l. R. and the district to the neces-
sity for the establishing of a strong
apparatus in support of the w. l.
R., of increasing the membership,
of conducting more systematic and
better prepared campaigns, of link
ing the w. l. r. up more closely
with the shops, and the greater
mobilization of the entire Party for
the Strengthening of the w. l. R.
which can be of great assistance for
the task of organizing the morgan
lied, for aiding in the struggles of
the workers against the employers.
Election Campaign.
The convention welcomes the in
tensive efforts that have been made
by the district in the last election
campaign, the accomplishments in
carrying on mass campaign d.
100000 pieces of literature, the
trebling of the open air meetings
the greater increase in shop activi-
ties, the issuance of shop papers.
the first revolutionary parade since
the postwar period), which has re-
suited in the doubling of our vote
in the proletarian sections. 1t notes
the progress in increasing activity
in our sections and units in the cleo
ton campaign and the greater mob
ilization of the membership for the
campaign. At the same time ii
points to the following weaknesses:
(a) insufficient day-in and day-out
political activities; (b) insufficient
politicalization of our trade union
work; (c) insufficient taking up Of
local issues by the district and by
the sections; I'D insufficient atten-
ton to the small detailed tasks; (e)
Still decidedly insufficient connec-
ton between the work in the shops
and trade unions and general poll
teal activity; (f) Weaknesses ii
the establishing of an apparatus fol
election campaign work; (f) Insult.
ficient consciousness and INSULT
cient forces drawn in election work
The convention directs the incom.
ing D. E. C. to at once give atten-
ton toward the overcoming of these
weaknesses and to preparing the or
| nizatinnal and aritational ma.

Youth.

The convention greets the i'm
provement in the composition in the
members of the YWL (more youth,
more English-speaking and proletar-
ian), participation of the League in
strikes, anti-military and mass
work, the increase in it's member
ship. At the same time the con-
vention points out the tendency in
the League of slackening up in gen.
eral political activities, the neces-
sity for still further improvement
in the composition of the League
directs also the Party to overcome
the still existing underestimation of
youth work in sections of the Party
organization, and the necessity for
really accomplishing the tasks called
for by the slogan, League unit
where Party unit exists.

stroyed if the Party is to meet the
tasks before it in the period of the
growing war danger and if the Par
ty is to accomplish the tremendous
tasks before 1T and utilize the UNI
usual opportunities for the growth
Ct our movement.
The convention approves the work
c the District Executive Committee
and greets the progress that the
Party has made in this district since
the last convention. The convention
views the conditions in the district
as growing ever more favorable for
the mobilization of the masses un-
der our banner. The sharpening re-
action, police attacks, speed-up, and
increased exploitation in needle,
shoe, textile, building trades, ETC.,
are increasing the fighting spirit
and mood for struggle on the part
Of the workers las shown by the
needle trades struggle, the Pater-
son strike, the spontaneous strikes
in shoe, the New Brunswick rubber
strike, the spontaneous strike Of the
eXpressmen, the increased Left sup
port in the building trades, etc.,,
and further indicated by the cleo
ton vote for the Communist Party.
The Party must bend all it's ener-
gies to take advantage of this grow
ing mood for struggle among the
masses. The convention instructs
the District Executive Committee
and all Party organizations to take
note of the following accomplish
ments, shortcomings and errors, it
directs the District Executive Com
mittee to take energetic measures
to correct these shortcomings and
errors, to sharpen up the fight
against social reformism (the S. P.
and the A. F. of L. machine, bound
up with the capitalist political ma
chine, particularly Tammany Hall)
for the further progress of our
work:
I. Fight Against War Danger.
The convention regards the fight
against the war danger as the CEN
trail task of the Party. From this
standpoint the tasks of the entire
Party organiza ion fer the coming
period must be viewed. The fight
against the war danger means not
only the agitational and organiza-
tional efforts to fight the imperial
ist policies of TIE American gov
eminent, anti-military work and
general agitational activities, but
means more energetic and deter
mined efforts to organize the unor-
ganized, to fight against and expose
social reformism, to proletarianize
the Party, to increase Negro, WON
en-, youth work and all phases OF
our activities.
ii. Organization of Unorganized.
1. The convention fully approves
the emphasis in the report of the
District Executive Committee upon
the necessity of building up the
Trade Union Educational League as
the center for the organization OF
the unorganized, for the new unions
and Left wing, and greets the eff
forts of the district in conducting
strike activities needle, garment
and furrier, textile, rubber in New

ems shop delegate conferences; (d)
The activities of the women in class
struggle activities (miners' strike,
textile, needle) and general class
struggle activities on the part of
the proletarian housewives organ
izations.
The convention points out the nee
essity of overcoming the following
shortcomings;
(a) A decided change in orienta-
ton and practical work to the fac
tories for the development of wom-
en- delegate conferences.
(b) The more systematic follow
up of contacts established thru such
conferences.
(c) Decentralization of women's
committees of the district.
(d) Necessity of strengthening
the Party apparatus for women's
work.
(e) Development of broader prole-
tartan housewives organizations,
and the district must fight against
and overcome such errors as the
symposium arranged by the Wom-
ems Federation in New York--the
underestimate of women's work on
the part of the Party organization.

Anti Militarist Work.

The convention registers disap-

decisive change in this shortening.
