PARTY RECRUITING DRIVE
ct Two Recruiting Drive Results to Decembel

will result in contacts that will make possible
the retaliation of our aims in this drive.
The District Bureau kas passed a motion
of severe censure against Sections Nine, Five
and the Upstate units for failure to perform
their Communist duty in this drive. Sections
Two, Six and Seven are sharply criticised for
the poor showing they have made thus far.
All sections are warned that they mrst be
careful of falling behind in the important
work of recruiting Negro workers for the
Party. Many of the sections completely
ignoring this most important task.
Very few of the Sections report results in
recruiting young workers for the Young Com
munist League. The League on the contrary,
has brought considerable number of recruits
to the, Party since the drive began.
We again remind the sections of the chal-
lenges they made when the drive began. We
would suggest that those Sections that
far behind either recall their challenges or
take serious steps to make good.
More concentration on the shops, active par
ticipation in the Red Sundays, which begin
with next Sunday, when we concentrate all
our forces for a systematic canvass of the
working class quarters in Harlem and Browns
vile, vigorous work on the part of all trade
union and language fractions; these are the
requirements, II we are TO get 10 per cent OF
our quota by the time of the Lenin Memorial
meeting and realize our full quota by Febru-
airy 10th, when the drive will be concluded

The district has just passed one-third of our
total quota of 1000 new members. This means
that we have caught up after slow start. 1t
means, also, that we must maintain at least
present tempo in order that We may succeed,
as we must, in achieving our total quota in
the allotted time. Section Eight continues to
hold the Lead with 46 per cent of its total
quota attained. This section also leads in the
number of Negro recruits secured. The next
nearest is Section One, which has 80 per cent
of its quota. No other section has as yet
reached 80 per cent of their total quota, and
the standing of the district is the result of the
fact that approximately one-third of our re-
cruits have been brought in by the various
fractions in unions and other mass organiza-
tions. Of our fractions, the Hungarian are
the most active and hold the lead with total
of eighteen new members recruited. The ex-
ample of the Hungarian fractions could well
serve as a model to those fractions that have
criminaly neglected this drive. 1t appears,
however, that other language bureaus and
Party organs, and consequently fractions, do
not concern themselves with Party campaigns.
The District Bureau has taken note of this
further expression of the right danger in our
Language fractions and will take organiza-
tional action against those Bureaus who prove,
by their disregard for Party campaigns, that
they are unfit for responsible Party work.
The insufficient attention to shops and fac
tories in the basic industries, which is the
chief shortcoming in our drive is clearly ex-
emplifed by the poor results shown in such
sections as New Jersey, as well as the fact
that we have as yet been able to organize only
one new shop-nucleus. Every unit is again
instructed to slect an important shop in the
territory of the unit and organize systematic
and consistent activities around such shop.
Regular distribution and sale of literature and
other propaganda material around the shops

BY PHILIP A. RAYMOND

At this time of the year, heads of various
n industries are taking inventory figuring
up profit or loss and making an estimate as
to possible profits during the coming year.
Increasing numbers of workers IN the auto
mobile industry are beginning to take stock
of what they have to show for their labor and
what they can expect to show for the future
Wage-Cuts, Speed-Up, Unemployment for
the Workers.
The bosses continued the Christmas spirit
with wage-cuts at Re beginning of the New
Year. On January 8, 1929, trimmers, sanders,
and girls quit work in body at the Dodge
plant in protest against drastic wage-cuts.
Trimmers who put in So hours in 2 weeks
we1e getting 500 for their pains. The truckers
were cut from 52.5 cents to &c cents per hour
During the same month, wage-cuts took place
in the Pontiac Continental, Briggs and other
plants in every auto center throughout the ma
ton. / l February, a wage-cut of POO for the
and 40 for the girls took place in Fish
err Body Plant No. 81. Soon afterwards
other cut took place in Plant No. 38. Lack of
space prevents us from giving complete list
of all t, reports of wage cuts that came into
the Union office. The fact of the matter is
that wage cuts from 10 per cent to 40 per cent
took place, week after week, in General Motors,
Briggs, Murray Body, Nash and other auto
plants throughout the country.
Wage-cuts were accompanied ir almost every
instance by increased speeding up In jan
uary, Gleason operator in the Chevrolet plant
wrote of having to attend to nine machines,
instead of four. Soon after, the Chevrolet
Gear and Axle Plant attempted to cut the time
schedule for axle to go through the
thirteen departments, the production line, from
hours and 5 minutes to l hour and Al min
utes Hudson officials boosted that they could
beat Ford for speed and many Hudson work
ers agree with them. By july Mr.. Wilson,
former employment manager Of the Ford Rouge
Plant, who had just been fired for selling Ford
jobs to workers, stated that there were 1000
less men on the pay roll at the end of Spring
than there were during the Winter. At the
same time, daily production had increased from
5000 to $500. "Step on it," and speed 'em

Let those comrades who belong to unions
and who pay SO, 81 month dues, and those
who belong to sick and death benefit soce-
ties, ETC., in which they must pay high dues
and assessments, answer whether the Party
should come first or last. Their answer to
this question is the answer to the objections
that they raise.
There must be developed in our Party some
what of the spirit of the wobblies. 1t is true
that these workers have wrong policy, do not
believe in leadershp-for each one of them is
that these workers have wrong policy, do not
know tactics, are unstable, cannot hold a job
not because of activity but because of wrong
attitude on how to fight the capitalist system
On the other hand, the wobblies have one
quality that the Party well could emulate. A
wobbly is completely devoted to the l. w. W.;
what he has belongs to the organization
q speak Of the better sort Of wobblies, most
of whom have disappeared or have joined
our Party, recognizing the wrong position of
the I.W.W. and the correct position, policies
tactics Of our Party). This quality has still to
be recognized and brought into our Party.
The new dues system will help instill this
attitude, this discipline into our Party. 1t
will help to put different spirit into our
Partya spirit not of voluntary self-sacrifice
according to ones dscretion-but an UNDER

standing that the Party has the right to claim
ones whole being, just as the professional rev.
outionst knows that he must accept any
thing that the Party imposes on him. This
means that the professional revolutionst is
completely at the disposal of the Party, to be
sent where the Party decides, to accept posi-
tons that may mean hunger (and many Of
them mean that today. This puts discipline
of the Party, acceptance of Party DECISIONS on
a higher plane than hitherto.
Does this mean that a member of the Party
will be judged according to his dues payments?
Nothing of the kind: it means that just as
in the past-only more intensified, owing to
the sharpened class struggle, the danger of
war and of the incrc -sing attacks on our
Party member will be judged by his carry
ing on of Party work. Each according to his
ability and willingness to do work for the Par
ty But it will also lean that this willingness
will be linked up with firm recognition of
the necessity of greater financial support of
the Party, so that it will avoid crises, and be
able to carry on its rk more effectively.
The best clements Of the working class join
our Party because they see that our Party is
the leader in TIE class struggle. They will join
our Party Just The same, on the basis of the
new dues system. IN assuming the financial
obligation, they will recognize that4purs is

a Party not playing round with revolution but
seriously mall phases of the work, is organ
izing and modifying for the daily struggle and
for the Proletarian Revolution
Will we lose some members? Undoubtedly
some of the members who have not really ac-
cepted the reorganization of the Party, who
still dream Of a reorganization backward to
the language system, who do not see nor wish
to participate in the sharpening class struggle,
will use the new dues system as an excuse for
leaving the Party. The Party wishes to keep
in its ranks all earnest, sincere revolutonjsts
but if sincerity is based only on low dues, then
it is flimsy character. No good revolutionist,
who is doing work in the Party, will leave us.
On the contrary, he will recognize that the
Party AT LAST has adopted the proper form
of organization for it's revolutionary work;
that it is plunging into the struggle as never
before; that in order to carry on its work,
financial means are necessary and that these
means must be provided, not by appeals, as
sesments, ETC., but by the Party members as
Stunning more OBLIGATIONS that will enable
the Party as whole to do its work--and do
it effectively.

Unemployment.
Instability of employment is more marked
in the automobile industry than in any other
industry, according to a statement of the
United States Department of Labor, based on
a survey of seventy-eight plants engaged in the
manufacture of automobiles, trucks, buses,
bodies or some substantial part of an auto
mobile. In July, with production still gohg on
at terrific pace, thousands of workers were
being fired-7,000 workers were laid off at
Chryslers. Other thousands were laid off at
Fisher Body, Oakland, and other automobile
plants, Hundreds Of unemployed workers were
lined up at Murray Body, Briggs, Dodge's and
other factories in Detroit. At the Ford Rouge
Plant, great mobs of men would stand patiently
for hours in a space enclosed by fence, a
strong fence, the kind that is used in the stock
yards to keep cattle in check. By November,
the army of unemployed exceeded 100000 in
Detroit alone. This growing army of perma-
nently unemployed workers is "Open Shop

Auto Workers Fight Back.
Greater numbers of auto workers are re-
sisting the encroachments of the bosses. From
the very beginning Of the year, department
wakouts occurred in Dodges, Pontiac and other
automobile plants in Detroit, Pontiac and
other auto centers. In February, strike of
several hundred workers in the Fisher Body
No. 81 under thealeadership of the Auto Work

40 per cent. In the same month, 100 trimmers
went on strike in Fisher Body Plant No. 38

demands, they forced the company to rescind

growth of ornaments, the sharpening of the
struggle for markets in the epoch of the latest,
