the Soviet regime in 1880 died down within the
ranks of that good friend OF capitalism, the So
cialst party, than the entire party and its press
we're confronted with the spectacle of turbulent
discussion on the significance of the Five-Yeal

and, Poincare, General Miller and Matthew Vol

Communists in Russia were slated for an early

of the New York district of the socialist party,
went SO far as to agree with Hamilton Fish on
fundamental attitude o. hostility toward the
Union of Socialist Soviet Republics. The social
lists the world over have called the imperialist
war preparations against the Soviet Union.
But the socialist party has function within
capitalist society," and for the capitalists this is
very useful function carefully nutured through
boundless publicity in the boss press and through
a thousand and one instances of cooperation.
However, when this cooperation went so far as
to include organic unity with the republican

BY JACK sTAcHEL.

IN TITS article we are going to deal with only
one n'ese of the fight for unemployment in
slral'n2- lie collection of signatures. Naturally
our SIR lSgle for unemployment insurance is not
paced merely upon the collection of signatures
This car be seen from the many important strug-
giles that have taken place in the last few DAYS
In number of cities and the hunger marches
and demonstrations now being carried out
throughout the country. But the mass collec-
ton OF signatures is an important phase of this
work. Our Workers Unemployment Insurance
Bill. whoa is to be presented to Congress on
February 10th must be backed UP not only by
the large masses whom We organize and lead
into Struggle for relief but also by signatures of
the largest number of unemployed and employed
who are ready to support our movement on this
burning issue. Thus far the campaign for the
collection of signatures has not assumed proper
tons of real mass campaign possible.
The work thus far on this front is ui,systen-
ATTIC, not conscious day to day work and has not
as yet involved large masses of unemployed in
the actual participation in the campaign. Here
We wish to lay down model plan for the or
ganization OF this drive. The fact that only
about three weeks is left to continue this activity
does not initiate against the adoption of the
plan given below. On the contrary, one of the
weaknesses of the signature collection drive is
long period.
Masses-United Front
First few words on the approach. Some
comrades approach this question almost on the
same basis as the collection Of signature to
place Communist candidates on the ballot This
is incorrect Those workers who sign our petit
tions for candidates on the Communist ticket
must already be advanced to the stage where
they are actual sympathizers of the Communist
Party. On the other hand this drive to collect
signatures for the Unemployment Insurance Bill
must ain to enroll in this movement every un-
employed and employed worker Herein lies the
united front that we establish with the mass
es. Here we have a concrete instance Of the
united front on the basis Of the immediate burn
ing demands Of the workers which we champion
We may even put the question, why should not
every worker whom we approach and properly
explain this bill not sign and fight for this bill?
The worker, no matter what his political affil-
iation. no matter how still lacking In class con-
sciousnesses can be modified in this struggle
Were We to limit ourselves merely to enrolling
shese workers already close to us we would be
falling in developing the united front on this
burning issue. All our shortcomings in this cam
paign therefore lie mainly in our own bad or
ganzation.
!. There must be real committee in charge
Of the drive In every city. Where there has been

organized United Front Campaign Committee
OF broad character smaller executive COM
mittee that functions, directs and controls the
work daily must be set up. Without such gen.
eral staff there be real campaign.
2. The committee must establish besides its
central headquarters which should be beehive
OF activity daily, campaign headquarters in every
section of the city. In the larger cities large
number OF such headquarters should be estab-
hshed For example in New York City at least
$50 such centers can be established in the five
boroughs At least so such centers can be estab-
lished in Chicago Between 25 and more in such
cities as Detroit, Cleveland. etc. In the smaller
cities as many as possible and necessary. Each
OF these centers must be we'll decorated from the
outside as well as the inside On the outside
with banners calling upon the workers to collect
signatures and to come i'll and get lists for the
collection of signatures from other workers On
the inside with appealing slogans and bulletins
giving the standing of the various organizations
that meet In that hall, outstanding individuals
who made record showing, etc.
g. Such headquarters can be established at
headquarters of the It. U. U. L., the workers
fraternal organizations, Communist Party, COOP
eratives, restaurants, and even sympathetic small
storekeepers.
4. The District and City Committees must at
all times have large number OF lists distributed
at the various centers, among all workers organ
lied In the T.UU.L., Councils of Unemployed
Communist Party, Young Communist League,
workers fraternal organizations, etc.
5. At each of the halls selected as a center,
committees must be in charge every day from
early morning until late in the evening. These
committees must be divided into shifts. Morn
ing until noon, from noon until evening and from
early evening until closing time. The Executive
Committee in charge of the drive for the whole
city must have one of its direct representatives
in charge at all of the shifts. The other COM
rades can be selected from the organizations
that meet in that particular hall or center These
committees in charge must not merely wait until
some one worker comes In and asks for a list
but must constantly busy themselves with organ
izng the workers who frequent these halls for
activity, and by sending visitors to the homes Of
the members Of the organization In the nearby
territory to come for activity.
s. Special squads must be organized as shock
troops to set the example of how to collect sig
natures on a mass basis.
z. Other groups Of unemployed workers from
the Councils must be organized for daily visiting
OF every organization In the city. There should
not be single organization of workers. A. F. l..
union Negro organization, ETC., not visited by
the committees At these organizations we must
fight for the collective endorsement as provided

individual workers signing the petitions and be-
coming active in the drive. IA.
g. Committees must be stationed at all prin-
cpal streets of the city with lists and other lit
erature. In he main streets real recruiting sta
tions should be established. table, box etc,
with slogans and decorations should be provided
9. Trucks auto and bicycle squads with ban
ners should be organized to go through the main
streets and working class residential sections.
TO- Factories should be visited in the morning,
noon and evening for the collection of signatures.
Unemployment exchanges flop houses, bread
lines provide some OF the best means for sigma
tlre collection,
H. All mass meetings must be covered for
collective endorsement and the recruiting of ac-
tive workers to go out with lists.
H. real competition should be established
between centers unions, etc.
49, Special attention must be directed to
drawing Negro women and young workers as
we'll as children into the collection of signatures.
a. All lists must be noted for contacts in
shops unions, etc, and then sent to the National
Campaign Committee.
Is. All hunger marches, demonstrations etc,
must be the occasion for the collection of sigma
lures and the enrolling of workers to be active
in the campaign
It, All workers organized for activity must be-
come part of the Councils of Unemployed This
also furnishes real basis for recruitment into
the respective industrial unions of the Trade
Union Unity League. readers for Labor Unity, etc.
Furnish Basis For Developing Struggle.
The whole campaign must bear In mind the
utilization Of the contacts made in the drive for
the building up Of the Councils of Unemployed,
for the raising Of the whole movement to high
er level of struggle. For huge mass demonstra-
tons on February 10th and for systematic ac-
tivty for relief and unemployment insurance
We must point to the relief measures by the
municipalities state and federal government, the
efforts of the bosses, as result of on the one
hand the recognition Of the ever deepening of
the crisis and at the same time the result of
our mass mobilization and struggle. While point
ing out the insufficiency Of these measures they
must be used to prove that through struggle we
can compel the bosses to grant some Of the most
immediate demands of the workers We must
particularly point out to the workers that the
bosses schemes all evade the real issue-unc.n-
poyment insurance. That the schemes for So
cial insurance OF the liberals and socialists either
place the burden upon the workers or are mere
pttance with SO much red tape attached to it
that the workers will have insurance for starva-
ton rather than unemployment insurance. Only
