SOME OTHER PROB.
LENS IN. SHOP
PAPER WORK
BY EVA SHAFRAN.

Recently we discussed few of the outstanding
shortcomings in shop paper work, in surveying
shop papers for 1881. There are still some
other problems that must be discussed
Regularity
There probably about rs or a hundred
papers appearing in 1881. Many Of those were
dropped" during this year, after not having
appeared for three months in succession. Forty
one papers did appear in 1881 at the rate of once
every two or three months. Out of these Al
papers, in examining the statistics for the entire
year, we see that only 1877 issues numbers,
months) appeared, while 2O8 failed to appear.
The main reason for this irregularity is
In too many instances shop papers are the
property of one or two comrades of the district
or section. The unit membership, and still less
the workers of the shop, are drawn into the work
of writing and getting out of the papers. If the
district or section organizer is energetic" and
knows how to get out paper-the apper ap-
pears. If this comrade is too busy with other
work. or is being transferred to another field
OF activity or to another city, the paper stops.
characterization; Lack Of Coordination
Another great reason for this irregulartty in
The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1932-02-06

shop paper work is the fact that in most dis
tricts the district buro organization department
or D. o. pays no attention whatsoever to shop
paper work. The comrades think that because
q shop paper is ''the written word" it belongs
entirely to the agitprop department. We find
for instance, leading districts telling us: How dc
you expect us to have shop papers when you
have not sent us Agitprop director?" Surely
these comrades would not take such an attitud,
towards organization work, if it should happel
that for come reason or other, the org secretary
would leave the dictrict for a while, or be ar
rested In this case the DO would find some
way, shifting Of forces or anything else, and the
org. work would go on.
This shows two things: Firstly, the complete
underestirnaton of this work. Secondly wrong
conception a bad understanding of the role OF
a shop paper as the organ of the Party in par
ticular shop or factory. II the comrades would
not have this rlisconception of the work. SHOP
paper worl; would be considered part and
parcel of the general activities of the Party.
of entrenchlng the Party in the shops mines
and mills. This would certainly have its re-
Election in having more and much better shop
papers.
Complete Change Needed
A definite and decisive change must take
place Hand in hand with building shop nuclei
must go the issuance of shop papers in these
work places. Wherever a shop nuclei is In ex-
istence, especially nuclei in larger Shops shop
paper must be in existence. The quality OF these
shop pares must be greatly improved in line
with the discussion above-in line with the de-
velopment of struggles In the shops; against
particular grievances, wage cuts speed up, mass
lay-offs, fake insurance schemes of the bosses
to which the workers are forced to pay, ETC.,
etc.
Our shop papers will become good agitators
propagandists and organizers in the shops and
factories, only when the weaknesses discussed
above will be overcome, only when the UNDER
estimation of this work will be done away with
Only when the district buros org. depts, will
take an active part, lead, guide and carry on
this wo-'I with the active assistance of the
sgitprop departments. Only when we will stop
The practice Of producing" papers from above"
and develop the self-initiative Of the comrades
in the units and the workers in the shop, in
connection with this work. Only when the pa
pers will appear regularly, every month bringing
the message of Communism to the workers In
the particular shop where it appears, message
used on the conditions in the shop, flrthering
organization and struggle.

AFTER ten weeks Of speech-making and sham
IA fights between the various bourgeois polid-
clans, the Special Session Of the Winconsin State
Legislature adjourned last Tuesday. Called by
Governor La Toilette to pass bills for employ
ment "stabiization," TO unemployment insur
ance and immediate relief, the session, especially
the demagogic opening speech Of young Phil,
worthy chip Of the old block, attracted nation
wide attention. His exposure Of the "strangle-
hold Of monopoles, against which he dedicates
his entire life" his demand of government in
reference on unemployed relief and insurance,
has been put as a symbol by the progressives,
whose leader, Senator Norris, had his speech in
serted into the Congressional Record following
Hoovers message.
"StabiIizfng Industry"
'"The present crisis is not due to the system
OF production, but to the wrong distribution OF
the purchasing power" states this latest vulgar
economist Of the bourgeoisie. Because the
masses carry too much Of the burdens of taxa
ton, because they don't share sufficiently in the

masses are getting poorer, we have crisis to-

Labor Defense or Of the Trade Union Unity
Council We have left the support OF Tampa
to the Latin American tobacco workers of New
York City This neglect must be overcome. The
series of mass meetings decided upon by the
New York District of the International Labor
Defense must secure the support of the mem
bership of the Trade Union Unity League and
of the Communist Party. Similar mass meet
ings with a campaign Of protest resolutions
should be arranged throughout the country.
Despite definite instructions from the National
Committee Of the International Labor Defense
on Tampa month ago, yet nothing is heard
from the various districts Of that organization.
Despite an appeal from the L L. D. on Tampa
which appeared in the Daily Worker a month
ago, there is no evidence of any campaign The
Tampa workers are being left to shift for them
selves.
Link Tampa With Other Struggles
The Tampa Defense must be a vital part of
every defense campaign. 1t must be linked up
with Kentucky with Harlan, with Tom Mooney,
with Imperial Valley. Every defense meeting,
every meeting with defense resolution should
take up Tampa The Trade Union Unity Coun-
ellis and the revolutionary unions should pass
resolution on Tampa, carry on agitation about
the case and the conditions in Tampa, and espe-
cially support the fight Of the tobacco workers
against the lnJunctlon Every important demon
stration should raise the issue of Tampa
The Tampa case proves that we still do not
react quickly to problems that occur at points
far away from New York City; that as yet we
react very slowly to problems affecting the
Latin Americans in this country At a time
when the masses of workers and peasants in
Latin America are engaging in broader and more
revolutionary struggles Gel Salvador, Cuba,
Chile, it becomes absolutely necessary to
strengthen our support to their struggles through
the organization of the Latin American workers
in this country. Real support to Tampa now
when 1T is needed, will do more to win the Latin
Americans for the revolutionary trade unions
and for the Communist Party than abstract
propaganda. 1t will convince them that the
Party and the Trade Union Unity League in
practice as well as in words make no distinction
between native born workers and workers of
colonial origin.
We must convince them through actioni We
must do our revolutionary duty! Let us begin
nowl We are already late! The trial in Tampa
was over before any mass campaign was carried
on. Let us begin that campaign nowl Tampa is
our problem. 1t is the problem of every class
conscious worker in the country. Take this
question into your meetings, this week. tonight
lave your organization act--pass a resolution of
protest. Send it to the Mayor of Tampa Florida
Raise funds for the fight to release the IA Jailed
comrades. Help the struggle against the in

Defense 1893 Broadway, Room 40. Let each

War is on. Connecticut and Buffalo
are primarily districts of war indus
