Not Party Members

The Central Control Committee
has found that Harry Winitsky
and Gilbert are politically and
otherwise unreliable; that neither
of them is Party member at
present, although both claimed to
be members; and that Winitsky
had used his position in an aux
iliary organization for the direct
support of LOvestone's splitting
campaign.
Therefore, the Central Control
Committee has decided that Wi
nitsky be removed from his posi-
ton: that both, Winitsky and
Gilbert, shall not be considered
as members of the Party; and
that all Party organizations are
instructed to have nothing to do
