The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1930-01-15

Executive Committee makes it mandatory for
all Leagues to create in the immediate future
strong working factory nuclei in the large en-
terprises employing many young workers. The
failure to carry this out must bring with it
change in the composition of the leading or
gans of the Leagues The Plenum binds all
Leagues to pay most serious attention to sys-
tematic and uninterrupted recruiting of men,
bers, transferring the center of gravity of this
work to the enterprises.
(b) All the work in the factories cannot be
done from the point of view of capturing the
leadership in the class struggles of the young
workers and active participation of the entire
Young Communist League organization in
them. A strike particularly strikes of the
youth, the drawing in of all young workers into
strikes and other demonstrations of the work
ing class, the extension of every movement,
the transformation of economic into political
strikes, formation of fighting committees of
the youth, organization of the unorganized
etc. is one Of the chief means whereby the
Young Communist League can most quickly
become a Bolshevik mass organization of the
proletarian youth.
In bringing about the turn, the application
of the united front tactics from below is of
paramount Importance. In the present condi-
lions of the class struggle, negligence in the
application of the united front tactics from
below, method of winning the majority of
young workers is seriously jeopardizing the
solution of this task. In this connection the
question of youth delegates in the factories is
becoming of great Importance. These delegates
should be elected by all young workers en-
ployed in given factory (both organized and
unorganized), and should be regularly con-
vened
The Plenum instructs the Presidum and all
Sections to collect and study in the next two
months all the most important material re-
garding strikes and the participation of the
youth in the general struggles of the working
class, the negative and positive examples of ap-
plication of the united front tactics and on the
basis of experience of the recent struggles,
demonstrations and activities, draw the neces-
sary lessons, popularize and utilize them for
further work of the various Sections, and en-
sure the carrying out of the turn.
(c) The development of broad anti-imper-
ialist and anti-militarist activity which is of
first-rate Importance at the present time in
all countries. Along with the intensifcaton
of the theological struggle against all forms
of miltarization of the youth, and particularly
its pacifist camouflage, it is necessary to apply
new forms of mass anti-militarist work, ensur-
ing the mobilization of the broad masses of
the toiling youth in the struggle against i'm
periaist wars, in defense of the Union of
Socialist Soviet Republics and for the liberia
ton of the colonies (anti-military conferences
and committees on the basis of enterprise and
mass organizations, youth sections of the Anti
lmperialist Leagues; defense organizations of
the Jungfront type; unions of recruits and the
reserves, etc.,. 1t is necessary to begin sys-
tematic building up of nuclei in the army and
navy and also in the enterprises of the war
industries In developing in every way the
struggle of the soldiers and sailors for their
partial daily demands, it is necessary to always
link it up with the struggle for our general
and ultimate slogans.
ID radical reconstruction of the present
work of the Young Communist organizations
in the general proletarian and mass youth
organization is also absolutely necessary.
1t is first Of all necessary to develop inten-
