tablishment with election campaign. The
more particular aim is to build into the factory
an outpost of the 7. u. U. L. and, if possible, a
nucleus of the Party. But the work must be
continuous and must not be considered
special mobilization for the election which may
be discontinued after that event. After the cleo
ton campaign, the work will get other concen-
tration points, major campaigns, mass demon
strations,' etc, This work can be successful only
if it is Systematically organized and if the Party
forces are concentrated instead Of being dissi-
pated.
1t is necessary that only one factory in ter
ritory or section be selected. is necessary that
all Party forces be modified and concentrated
this factory. 1t is necessary that efforts
become systematic and persistent for continuous
action of the individual members, not merely for
a single act. 1t is necessary that the Party en-
gagged in work In factory frequently discuss
with all the comrades engaged in the work the
progress, the experience, the difficulties, to de-
wise ways and means to extend effective
methods and to stop ineffective methods, etc
In each factory establishment special atten-
ton must be paid by the leading Party committee
to the particular conditions existing in the shop.
All propaganda and agitation must be based upon
these conditions. The Party members must be
taught to talk to the workers. not primarily about
China and India, but first of all about the factory
and the conditions under which the workers work
in the establishment. We must reverse our past
practices in which our propaganda started out
with the world and then concluded with the par
tcular We must begin with the particular and
from there lead the workers on to revolutionary
conception of the world. That cannot be done
in one day. That cannot be done in one CONVEX
sation. That cannot be done in speech That
is a process developing in the course of the agi-
tation and organization of the workers for
struggle for immediate aims.
On considering the particular conditions in the
shop it Is OF paramount importance also to con-
slider the composition of the workers of the shop.
If large sections of workers in the
establishment, the womens department must be
modified to prepare the material especially
adapted for this agitation. If the workers are
primarily young workers, the Young Communist
League must be drawn in and together with the
Party the approach to these workers must be
prepared in accordance with the specific problems
of the young workers If Negro workers work in
the shop the Negro department must be drawn
into this work and must be modified to prepare
special material of agitation and propaganda.
The A. N. l.. c. must be called upon for the work
in such factories If large sections of foreign
born workers congregated in the establish
ment, the Language Fractions must be modified
to facilitate the approach in language as well
as to formulate issues, os for instance the pro-
lection of the foreign born etc, which will facili
tate the approach to these workers.
All of this work must be organized on the basis
of socialist competition. This competition pits
nucleus against nucleus within the sections
tons against sections within the districts, and
districts against districts within the whole party
Unit and section Party correspondents must re-
port about this work, its progress it's methods
in the Party life columns of our Party press so
that experience may be exchanged not only
within single units, but within the Party a
whole.
The work in the factories, planned systemati-
cally and concentrated single establishments
is the paramount and DEMONSTRATING task of
the Party. All efforts must be concentrated on
this work At the time, however, we must
not neglect other devices and methods of our
campaign.
The masses of Negro workers, for example, are
segregated in certain sections of the cities The
most intense and anti-lynching campaign must
be carried in these sections. With the help
of the artists and specially fitted comrades one
or more floats can be constructed, 'dramatizing
the anti-lynching campaign, arousing hatred
against the lynchers and bringing to the fore
ground the struggle of the Communist Party
against lynching. Such float may be used sew
eral times during the campaign to go through the
Negro districts. Autos should be modified as the
tail of the float decorated with banners slogans
against lynching Jim Crowism, etc. Wherever
such parade is organized, as large masses of
Party members as possible must be modified to
accompany the parade, not sitting in the autos
but walking on the sidewalks, along with the
parade, mingling with the spectators, distributing
leaflets among them, talking with them, selling
literature wherever possible, and securing con-
nections.
All of such work must avoid concentrations
and must lead the spectators to a specific con-
clusion: Support the Communist Party; struggle
for social and political equality and self de-
termination OF Negroes; vote Communist join
the ANLC and like conclusions
Where certain industries congregated in
certain street blocks and sections of the city, as
for instance, the o-caled clothing market In
New York and Chicago similar agitation
be organized in the form of parades, floats,
leaflet distribution, ETC.. during hours and
at the closing time.
Comrades: Wage cuts applied in all in
dustries throughout the country Never have
the workers needed guidance; never
militant organization more imperatively neces-
sary for them than now. And conditions are
constantly growing Unemployment is
increasing. Speed-up is intensified. Working
conditions worsened.
In this situation the masses turn to our party.
They expect organization and guidance from it.
Our party only give 1t If every party mem
Der turns into an active agent for our principles
and an active organizer for revolutionary unions
and for our party
Heed the warning words of Lenin: mo politi-
cal party If it desires avoid adventurist tactics
can base its activities expectations of out
bursts and complications. We must proceed
along our road and steadily carry out sys-
tematic work. And the less we count on the
unexpected, the less likely to be taken
by surprise by any unexpected turn"
