to build functioning departments for work
among, women and to give them political and
organizational guidance.
Women wage workers constitute one-fourth
of the working class, the vast ma jority of them
being among the most exploited and oppressed
constituting an enormous reserve of proletarian
, fighting spirit which must at all costs be
brought into the revolutionary class struggle.
Every district is charged with the responsibility
Of working out concrete slogans and demands
on the immediate issues of wage cuts, unem-
ployrnent- insurance, high cost of living, special
labor legislation, ETC., to develop mass contacts
among women, mobilize them in struggle, estab-
lish special corganizational forms (women's de.
legate meetings., recruit women into the Party
and revolutionary unions, and pay special atten-
ton to draw in Negro and Latn-American
women.
"A concrete program of work is to be tormul-
ated on a district and section scale; ID con-
centrate on a few important factories employ
ing large numbers of women, especially in war
and textile industries; 90 conduct struggle
against inperialist war preparations by expos
ing fascist and pacifist womens organizations
anu winning the masseJ OF proletarian women
for struggle against imperialist war and for the
defense of the Soviet Union; (3) Popularize the
platform of the Communist Party in the election
campaigns. by mobilizing masses of working Swo-
men in support of the Party, and make special
efforts to bring women into the Vote Communist
Clubs
Special attention must be given to the syste-
matte development of the most capable women
into the leading bodies of the Party and mass
organizations
more Importance than ever in the development
of the mass struggles against hunger, capitalist
terror and iInperalist war. The development OF
these campaigns is seriously hampered by the
remnants Of anti parliamentary tendencies and
underestimation of revolutionary possibilities OF
election campaigns The elections this fall i'm
portant' in themselves are of even greater sig
nificance as being test of our preparedness
to exploit the tremendous possibilities before us
in the general national, elections of 1882. The
election campaigns must be made the instru-
ment to bring together the issues of all the
partial struggles and the issues of particular
fields of work into one consolidated program of
revolutionary working-class struggle against
capitalism, concretizing the general slogan,
Glass against class" and showing to the ex-
plotted masses the impossibility of any way out
of the crisis except the way of mass revolution
airy struggle and proletarian revolution
rs. The rapidly increasing strike struggles
under revolutionary leadership raises more
sharply than ever the necessity for building
permanent mass organization for relief 1t Is
not only a necessary instrument for the suc-
cessful conduct of the strikes themselves, but it
is also most effective for n1obilizng broad solid
arity actions of the workers generally and there
by broadcasting the political influence Of these
strike struggles and raising thereby the conscie
business of the working class to higher level
