BY JACK TOMBSTONE.

I ESS than 5000 new members out of self
adopted quota of 1900 new members to
be gained by the Trade Union Unity League
by June 80, is the result of the hit-and-mss
painless work of the Trade Union Unity Coun-
ell of New York and it's affiliated bodies.
Not one organization has in any sense filled
its quota. The Needle Trades Workers Indus
trial Union, with lots of verbal enthusiasm,
took over the entire quota of 5000 new mem
bers assigned to the national organization by
the T. U. U. L., but so far the drive has only
netted about 1000 new members. The Food
Workers Industrial Union, with quota of
5000, has gained approximately $50 mem
bers. AS with Needle and Food, so with the
Marine, Textile and the Shoe Workers Indus
trial Unions. With the industrial leagues and
small unions, the situation is just as bad and
in some instances, such as the Metal and
Building Trades Industrial Leagues, even
worse than in the Industrial Unions.
The Labor Unity drive started with bang
to get 5000 new readers by June 30-the T.
U. U. c. of New York even challenging De-
troit and Chcago-but the total circulation in
New York of Labor Unity is only 1000 and
the subscription list little over 200. And
the campaign goes along at snal's pace,
with very little cooperation from any of the
affiliated organizations.
These are the plain, unvarnshed facts, and
the question is: What are we going to do about
it? At the last meeting of the Trade Union
Unity Council it was decided, as a very be-
lated start, to instruct all organizations to
prepare self-critical report on their respec-
tive campaigns to organize the unorganized for
discussion and action at the next meeting of
the Trade Union Unity Council, which will be
held July 10 at p. m. at IS W. 18th ST. Each
organization will be dealt with separately and

Party Fraction Weak.
The cause of weakness of the revolutionary
unions and the T. U. u. c., and the many op-
portunist errors that are being committed every
day within the T. U. U. L. lies squarey upon
the shoulders of our Party. The Party frac-
ton, which should and must be the driving.
leading force within the T. U. U. L., operates
at about 20 per cent of the Party's strength;
the factory campaigns of the units where such
campaigns are attempted are haphazard AMI
painless. Numerous Party members who have
been elected by their organizations as delegates
to the T. U. U. C. do not show up at these
important meetings. The remedy for this is
drastic theological campaign within the
Party, to make clear the program, policy and
role of the r. |. L. U. and T. U. U. L. as the
leaders of the economic struggles of the work
ing class-the development of unit-factory
campaigns: the building of shop nuclei, shop
commttees-and the dropping of the dead tim
Der within our ranks which acts as a brake
upon the developing of our Party as the mass
leader of all workers struggles, and their re-
placement by new, young recruits.
The Trade Union Unity Council, at its next
meeting, July 10, will take action against those
delegates who do not come to this important
melting. They will ask the unions and leagues
to elect new delegates to take their places Dis
culinary action should be taken by the Party
against Party members who are dropped by
their organization in this matter. There is no
room in Communist Party for mere dues-pay-
ing members. Every member of our Party an
active member of the 7. U. U. L. is not simply
a slogan-it is a revolutionary duty.

~ ing" "Our gains are not startling and not
large" These are the statements made by
State Organizer Macdonald and State Secre
tary Sara Limbach of the Socialist" party of
Pennsylvania in their report of the party's
activities for the past year at the state con-
vention held last Saturday and Sunday in the
city of Reading, which has been under socialist
administration for almost three years.
But, while the Party admitted having done
practically nothing for the workers, the state
convention certainly accomplished whole lot
for the cause of American and British i'm
perialism and mitarism by rejecting resolu
tions from the floor denouncing MacDonald's
policy in India, Yankee imperialism in Nicara
qua, Haiti, Philippines, by voting down reso-
luton against militarism, by killing in the COM
mittee room resolutions demanding the imme-
diate and unconditional release of Mooney and
Billings, on unemployment trade unionism,
cass-war prisoners, lynchng and other resou-
tons bearing on the class struggle.
But the "wine and beer" resolution and that
on prison reforms" were adopted almost unan-

imperialist resolution, the chairman of the COM
mittee on resolutions, Joseph Cohen, of Phila-
delphia, considered the "brains" of the Social

and the most demagogic sophistry ever known
in the history of working-class betrayal
"Ih India, Nicaragua, Haiti, ETC." he said,
"the fight is not for the establishment of So
cialism, but for nationalism, and since social
ism stands for internationalism the party can
not support consistently nationalistic move
ments," and added "that the withdrawal of the
armed forces from the colonial countries will
cause more bloodshed" Several of the dele

gates were somewhat aroused over the social
fascists's defense of British and American i'm
perialism and shouted to him that capitalists
having investments in the colonial countries
could advance no better argument, and de-
manded that the convention must adopt the
resolution or "get out" However, the resGu-
ton was rejected by vote of 20 to "a.
A motion was made and voted almost unani-
mousy to refer the rejected resolution to the
national executive committee of the party,
which is considered the graveyard of all pro-
posals relating to the class struggle.
The discussion of the resolution on disarma-
ment and anti-militarism revealed the fact
that American miltarism was not unrepre-
scented at the convention. One delegate, who
said he is former sailor in the United States
navy, pleaded with the delegates against hasty
adoption of such resolutions, even-as it was
amended-to refer it to separate locals for
Study" on the ground that such action might
cost the party hundreds of thousands of votes,
because ''there is no sentiment yet here against
mltarism and the country is not yet ready for
disarmament"
The two chiefs of the Reading socialists,
Mayor Stump and James Maurer, did not par
ticipate in the rather heated debate on the two
important resolutions. The former, who year
ago demonstrated his Solidarity" with the
working class by forbidding street collections
for the Gastona strikers, was absent alto
gether, coming in only when the convention
was adjourned to shake hands with the part
ing delegates, and the latter who, after his
election to the city council, promised to protect
capital, and who says that in Soviet Russia
he would be Communist, but not in the
United States, sat quietly near the platform
peacefully enjoying his chew.

In the city of New York we have many COM

who for years have been making amateur eff

doom the work to impotence and only create
notions of "mpractcability." This was exactly

The real obstacle in all our film activities so
far have been that we have learned to consider
the movie as merely cultural activity" en-
tirely disregarding the political and active
propaganda factor. For us the film must be
no less valuabe-and politically--than the

splendid example of what can be done with
the film. Call still photography cultural

itical value in the timely publication of pic
lures showing cops beating workers, mass dem

Labor Defender Photo Group of course is the
lack of coordination and guidance of its work.
At recent exhibition of theirs there was not
iceable the tendency to photograph "arty" sub
jects with reliance upon technique and compo-
sition for their own sake. Not that compost
ton and technique are sins, but the worker
photographers goal is more serious, more i'm

landscapes and skyscrapers and more bread
lines, strikes, etc.
The workers film movement in America
must begin to outgrow the discussion stage.
Enough has been said and written on this ques-
ton. Its Importance has long ago been form
ally recognized. The organization Of an inde-
pendent workers film movement in America
is the next step. In this work the cooperation
Of every clasa-conscious worker is imperative.
