The daily worker., 1931-03-23

9solution of the Central Committee, CP, U.SA

come the meanS OF drawing the masses OF negro
toilers into the Party's mass activities and OF
drawing the masses of white workers into the
struggle for Negro rights.
(ci In connection with the efforts OF the
Central Committee to make turn in the work
of the Chicago, Detroit, Cleveland and Pitts
burgh districts special attention must be given
by the G. G. representatives to the development
of Negro work especially among the workers in
the basic industries in those districts (mining,
steel, auto) where tens of thousands Of Negro
workers are employed and where the issue OF
Negro rights becomes burning question, daily
affecting all workers. In the programs OF action
and the plan Of work drawn up in these dis
tricts, Negro work must be specifically and
concretely dealt with in connection with the
work among the unemployed and the building
of the TUUL unions.
I'D The Party fraction in the L. S. N. R.
shall Immediately take such steps as are reces-
sary to insure the regular publication of the
"Liberator" as weekly beginning with April
18th. at the same time, and in connection with
the launching Of the "Liberator' as a weekly,
an energetic circulation drive shall be inlrne-
diately planned and carried through with the
objective of 10000 new subscribers for the LIB
orator. by June 1st. The Party is to be fully
modified to aid in carrying through the cir
culation drive, primarily in connection with the
mass aCGlVlCleS OF CIle FarCy Glle
ployed and at the shop and factories
L. S. N. r. groups for the support Of the
'Idberator" should be organized in the shops
and neighborhood Such groups, in addition to
their major task of establishing the "Liberator"
as a popular, mass organ of the struggle for
Negro rights should aid the Party in rallying
the workers, white and colored. for struggle
against all forms of persecution, segregation
lynching, Jim-CrowiSm, etc, but in no case be-
coming a substitute for the Party, which at
all times must retain its leading role in the
struggle for full equality and in the South,
for the right of self determination.
(e)' The national and district fraction in the
TUUL should Immediately bring forth well con-
sidered proposals for widespread strengthen
ing of the Negro work in the TUUL and in all
affiliated organizations. The action of the last
Executive Board meeting in creating Negro de-
partments in the National Office of the TUUL
and in the Miners, Metal, Marine, and Needle
Unions is already a forward step. 1t is now
necessary for the leading fraction to see that
real programs Of action are developed for the
recruiting of Negro workers in all the activities
Of the unions and for the development of the
struggle for Negro rights, beginning by raising
partial demands in connection with every form
of discrimination persecution in the shops or
mines, or among the unemployed In all strike
struggles the demands of the Negro workers for
complete equality must be brought forward and
the white workers, especially, must be taught
the necessity of uncompromisingly fighting for
these demands as condition for strike settle
ments, this close linking up of strike demands
with those for equal rights being one of the
most effective means of undertaking the mass
struggle against the chauvinist ideas and prac-
ticeS still existing among many white workers
The chief immediate task of the TUuL on the
field of Negro work is the energetic pushing
forward of the work already begun by the ap-
pointment of special organizer at the recent
Board meeting for the organization of the Agri-
cultural Workers Union in the BLACK Belt" of
the South. The Party fraction must keep a
close check on the programs of the work there
especially with regard to the working out of a
program of partial demands which can be the
starting point for the development of broader
struggle for the land for the Negro tenants and
laborerS, the state unity of the BLACK Belt and
for the right of self-determination.
(D The Negro department of the Central
Committee shall Immediately give consideration
to all phases of the work party TUUI, Unem-
ployed Councils, as well LID, WIR, and
other mass organiZations) with the objective of
bringing about a decisive turn in the Party's
work on the Negro field. The Politburo will
make the closest check-up on the work of the
department, both of the Central Committee and
the districts, and of the leading fractions in all
mass organizations to aid them in developing
the work and to see that all decisions are erer-
geticaly and thoroughly carried through
