mittees. The signature collection campaign for
the Unemployed Insurance Bill must at the same
time be made the instrument for building local
and neighborhood unemployment organizations.
The signature collection committees must become
organization centers drawing in and putting to
work the broadest possible MASSES who must &C
lively participate in every phase of the struggle.
There must be complete elimination Of the
old practice of working for paper records which
have no solid foundation of work among the
masses Every stage in the development of I'M
employed movement must register gain in the
organizational consolidation of our mass contacts.
The workers must be made to understand that
only by organizing and fighting can relief be
obtained now. They must be shown that only
the actions under the leadership of the Commu
mist Farty have been successful in forcing any
sort of relief, even the most inadequate from
the tourgeosie Only through the struggle for
immediate demands and through the gaining OF
partial demands can the Party lead the masses
towards the higher stages of the revolutionary
struggles The Party, the revolutionary trade
unions and the Unemployed Councils must give
the most complete attention to the fusing of
the immediate struggles with the further revo-
lutiorsry perspectives.
g. Our program on the Negro question has
already begun to give the Party wide theological
influence among the Negro toilerS. In spite of
the extreme weakness of this work in the dis
tricts,-in spite of the small degree to which our
correct general program has been concretized in
local demands, struggles and organization, the
results registered in the st. Louis Convention of
the League of Struggle for Negro Rights proves
that by more energetic systematic work we can
register enormous advances in this field. 1t is
necessary that the Party leadership in the dis
tricts shall give the most serious attention to
this work. at the same time drawing the best
elements to our Party from among the Negroes
into general Party work and leadership and ac-
tivizng larger numbers of white comrades in the
work among the Negroes The tendency of sep
aration of Negro work from the general Party
work must be absolutely broken down. The pro-
gram of the League of Struggle for Negro Rights
must be made a living reality by mobilization
of all our forces in its application and the Lib
orator must be given strength, enlarging the cir
cuation in every district The E.C.CI. resolu-
ton on the Negro question must be thoroughly
studied and applied by every Party unit.
2. The development of work among the
farmers has been extremely slow. The favor
able conditions for this work have been demon
stratcd by the development of spontaneous
struggles of the impoverished farmers in some
sections of the country, especially the South, as
well as by the big increase in votes gained by
the Party in North and South Dakota in the
elections. With the Qualification of our basic
analysis and program by the adoption of the
line of our draft agrarian thesis of the 7th
Convention, the Party must now energetically
pass on to the concentration of this line in
organization and struggle among the farmers.
An agrarian Department must Immediately be
formed which will systematically direct the
buildnG of mass farmers paper as the weapon
of leadership of the impoverished farmers in
every district in the country. Each district must
charge responsible comrades for developing con-
facts among the farmers and agraran workers
