membership. In the coming period
of increasing war danger and
sharpening class struggle, it is i'm
perative that the Party and the dis
trict orientate rapidly to the task
of bringing the great bulk of our
Party membership into shop nuclei,
as the most correct and effective
form of Communist organization.
To this end all units and sections
of our Party must bend their ener-
gies by the following concrete and
definite steps:
Location of factories in which
our comrades are in sufficient num-
bers to form shop nuclei; the in
sistence, under pain of Party disci-
pline, that comrades function as
Party members in the factories
where they work; the attachment
of capable comrades t.. shop nuclei,
to give them correct policy and
guidance; the colonization of COM
rades into the large factories, par
ticularly in New Jersey; focusing
the attention Of all existing units
upon the need of assisting political
ly and materially in the building up
of shop nuclei in nearby factories /;
effective assistance 20 shop papers

he functioning of Party fractions
in the trade unions and in the
language fractions must be i'm
proved. More effective control over
these fractions must be established.
Greater assistance must be given in
their work and more rigid discipline
must be established within factories.
The fractions in our foreign Ian
guage organizations should lay more
emphasis upon carrying forward
their activities, linking up directly
with class struggles.
The convention greets the effec-
tive proletarianization which has
been accomplished in the leading
committees in the sections. Every
thing must be done to assist these
committees in the development of
proletarians as leaders in our Party.

with the anti-war issues.

imperialism.

ing in Negro workers as well as
women and youth into the struggle
against imperialism.

tendencies.
Anti Militarist Work.
The convention registers disap-
prevail of the fact that real anti
militarist work has not yet been eff

Party organization, and calls for a
decisive change in this shortening.
