THE Y. c. L. RECRUITING DRIVE IN THE SOUTH
our chief concentration point.

our chief concentration point
Under prevailing conditions only one method
of penetration in this mill could have been
carried out in practice. This personal con-
tact with individual young workers Of the mill.
AS part of the recruiting drive comrades are sent
out to make such contact from various units in
the vicinity. After weeks of consistent work
around the mill, we finally made contact with
one young worker who was used as wedge
to penetrate the chill" Now this Unit recently
formed there brings one or two new members
down at every meeting, reacts keenly to the re-
crlliting drive has set itself quota of 80 in the
drive and beginning the first week of February
will issue YCL Shop Paper, the first in the
South, as its part in the drive. Incidentally the
comrade who was our first contact shows great
promise Of leadership and now functions on the
District Committee.
Among the share troopers we are faced with
even more favorable opportunities for work, but
accompanied by greater amount of terror and
repression After succeeding in setting up
Unit of nine young share choppers at the be-
ginning of the drive raids of mobs headed by
the law took place in the vicinity, terror was
rampant, a few choppers were beaten and the
League District Organizer threatened and escort
ed to the state line. All this had the effect of
bringing home some valuable lessons to the dis
temporarily postponed the meetings, although
a little activity is still being carried on by a
couple of comrades. AS part of the recruiting
drive we viii develop some Negro comrades to
enter the Black Belt and assume work once
more 1t is impossible for white comrade to
continue there as this will certainly precipitate
terror.
The District being young and the District
Committee still younger, we had difficulties in
arriving at decision in regards to challenging
Boston. We confident that 200 new mem
bers could be easily gained in the course of the
drive But when it came to challenging Boston
that was different. In the course Of the dis
cussion at the District Committee the weakness
es of Boston District were pointed out by COM
rades and we found that Boston's weaknesses
were precisely ours as well; lack Of mill nuclei,
weak organizations, etc. 1t was decided
that the discussion of challenging Boston Dis
trtct should be carried into the units where 1t
should be fully decided on This resulted In
broad healthy discussion on the drive in general
and the chances of beating Boston in the spirit
of revolutionary competition in particular. by
the entire membership. The direct results Of this
was an increased activity Of the units In relation
to the drive; setting of unit quotas by the
unit membership; weekly quotas set by indi-
vidual members; stimulation of campaigns in
the immediate neighborhood around small local
issues and arranging of recruiting parties and
affairs. Unanimous decision was reached in the
units to begin at once revolutionary competition
with Boston and use the drive to stamp out
the roots of the weaknesses Of both our Districts.

THE present recruiting campaign Of the League
is about the first real drive in the South.
We have had drives before but this is the first
in which we have strong reliable base to work
from.
1t is a new thing for the Party and the League
to have a Southern District of the League set
itself quota Of 200 new members and it is
even newer to have this number realizable.
Wherein is our main strength at present?
At this moment the largest bulk of our member
ship in District 16 are young Negro workers.
This drive will mark turning point in work
and bring us face to face with the factories
and the young white workers, particularly of
the textile industry, The main stress of our
drive in the South is concentration on factories
and portion of the agricultural Black Belt &C
companied by an intensification of our work
among the young Negro workers of the cities.
Hence, of the 200 new members set as a goal
in the drive 80 will be textile workers and IS
will be share choppers.
The drive in the South must have as
definite designated goal, the heightening of the
theological level of all membership and the
creation of force of leading cadres.
The political backwardneSs Of the Southern
young workers and the large number of illit-
crate youth demands as a living necessity, an
elementary class for new members and active
comrades as well With the first day of the
drive weekly discussion circle was started
which is speedily growing in numbers and in
terest. The class takes up fundamental ques-
tions and particularly does 1t link up the re-
cruiting drive with these questions. Hence the
drive itself has become a school to develop new
leaders. An integral part of our class Is small
er class of reading and writing composed Of a
smaller group Of comrades especially selected
for future leadership
Roofing ourselves in the textile mills of the
district which employ mostly white, large part
of whom are youth, is one of our most diff
cult tasks. The mills are usually situated just
outside of a city with the workers living on
the "hill," surrounding the mill. No organizers
or literature are allowed on or near the "hill"
Any worker suspected of reading literature
is Immediately fired Yet faced with these diff
fculties and more, we have succeeded in build
ing Unit Of the YCL that meets conspiratorial-
ly on the hill" Of the mill we have chosen as

UNIT MEETINGS

No check-up was made by Section Committee
as to whether delegates from mass organizations
were elected to the conference or not, language
department was not on the job, neighborhood
struggles were not carried on, because Of Section
Committees not giving out directives and in
structions how to organize same.
The district is also to blame, for not giving
out detailed instructions on how to do certain
phases of work, being late on issuing stickers.
posters too large no amplifiers on November Z,
too many speakers on Nov. 7th, public hearing,
also, for not having division OF tasks this all
being responsible for smaller meeting Jan. 2lst.
It was also pointed out that with the election
OF Murphy, we stopped our attack and exposure
of his starvation policy. Two or three comrades
could not see how tbs Communist Party can
come out and fight against wage-cut of the
police when they are clubbing our heads at
demonstrations. This was however, corrected
by other comrades in bringing out the division
and differentiation between high paid officials
and the rank and file of the department.; also,
all possible forces against his progrom OF wage
cuts, starvation, support Of bankers and dema-
gogy, with which all comrades later on agreed.
It was also reported that in the next few days
Z public hearings, 8 empty pot and pam
demonstrations and mass meetings will be held
in 3 sections.
On the whole, an the organizers expressed
satisfaction with the meeting as it will help
greatly in a uniform carrying out Of Party
campaigns and work and correct many mis-
takes that have been made in the past.
An Organizers class has been started at which
we are taking the following topics for the next
weeks, 2 hours session: Unit Organizer, his
function; Unit Buro, its functions; Unit Buro,
its function; Division Of Tasks in unit; Work of
individual comrades in shop.
Later on we want to take up new members,
where to recruit, how to keep them, also the
political life of the unit and other problems.
We are having the &C proposal on bi-monthly
meetings carried out in 81 units metropolitan
area) now, while the other is units (more dis
tant) we will take up in few weeks, soon as
one Of us will be able to go out of town to ex-
plain the whole plan and discuss same with Sec
ton Committees ard Unit Buros. At present,
sections are involved in carrying out the plan,
while . sections and unattached units are
functoning on the old basis yet.

Realizing that the bi-nSonthly meetings Of the
units cannot be carried out mechanically by a
decision without serious discussion with the unit
and section functionarieS, and without hamperng
the routine flmctioning OF the units, a calendar
schedule of meetings was worked out and
meeting of all unit buros in the metropolitan
area of Detroit was called Through captains),
the plan presented and thoroly discussed with
the comrades present.
At the same time, with the start of the BIZ
monthly meetings, the detailed weekly letters
were stopped, and weekly unit organizers meet
ings called instead. The first meeting of unit
organizers was attended by twenty-sx organizers.
In the report on unemployment and prepara-
tons for February 4th, the main line was on
asking questions by the reporter in the following
manner: Why is it that our unemployed work
is not going ahead, but is at a StandStu? Why
is it that we have no struggles on local scale?
Why was the fight against evictions not carried
on, in spite of the fact that evictions are in
creasng? Why is it possible that Negro politicians
and preachers call protest meetings against dis
crmination Of Negro workers at Rosedale Wei
fare station and our neighborhood, branch and
block committees OF the Unemployed Council
(meeting only few blocks away do not take
action? Why is it that at our November 18th
celebration with Csc admission, we had about
5000 people present, while at the Lenin Memorial
Meeting, January 21st, with a 10c admission, we
had only between S,500-4000 workers present.
in spite of the cut of relief in the Welfare De-
partment? Why is it that we did not react last
enough to the 10 per cent to II per cent wage
cut of the city employees (including fire and
policemen? Why is it that our January 9th
conference Gin preparation for February 4th was
very poor, and most OF the mass organizations
were absent? Why was the scottSboro parade
Detroit failure?
After the report a good discussion took place,
in which most of the organizers participated.
Some of the comrades pointed out that we took
the wage cuts of city employees and relief for
granted, fractions In the unemployed councils
are not functiOning, outlines on how to build

social peace" Actually the KID were against
any independence of action on the part of the

emphatically against all endeavors to limit or to

propaganda, fitting it to the frame of only the
legally permitted during the reign Of counter

phasizes that the basic moment of this agita-

the proletariat the premise, that without new
revolutionary upsurge any betterment of their
conditions Of life Is impossible That he who
strives for an actual working class reform, must
first of all work and fight for new victorious

60 Should the bill of the Duma become
law despite the protests of the class conscious
proletariat, the conference invites the comrades
to utilize those new organiZational forms, when
it will bring to life (workcrs sick benefit fund

The 50th Birthday of Comrade
Platnitzky

Moscow, January 80, 1892.
Comrade Piatnitzky today celebrates his 5Oth
birthday. The life of our so year old Comrade
Piatnitzky represents proletarian, revolutionary
act, a Bolshevist life. At the end of the last
century, when the revolutionary proletarian mass
movement in Tsarist Russia was still in it's first
stage of development in the chief centers of the
country, young artisan joined small per-
secuted provincial illegal Social Democratic Work
ers Circle The first number of the feminist
'lskra' came into his hands. Shortly afterwards
he became the organizer of its distribution He
attended the first years of instruction in the
feminist school already as young worker
becoming professional revolutionary His school
ing consisted in not only reading periodicals and
studying. 1t consisted of prosecutions and ar
rests; it consisted of prison life ir heroic at
,tempts at escape, emigration and Punishment
The school of the professional revolutionary con-
sisted IN a devoted unwearied persistent daily
work in introducing Boshevist ideas in revolu-
tonary organizations, in establishing and
strengthening the illegal connections between
the political center of the Bolsheviki abroad
where the feminist ideas we're forged, and Rus
STA, where the scattered illegal Party Commit
tees supplied the life material out of the expert
ence OF the mass work for the feminist Center
and In the fight against sectarianism prepared
Tor the revolutionary workers party the victori-
Gus advance OF Bolshevism. His life consisted in
organizing Party nuclei in the works and factor
les, making the most of legal, semi legal posi-
bilities, in organizing strikes and mass demon
STATIONS in exemplary preparation of the masses
for armed revolt.
And all this in the fight against opportunism
OF the Right and the Left" There is no i'm
portant variety of revolutionary work in which
Comrade Piatnitzky, as a close and true follower
of Lenin, would not have participated Through
hard sef-sacrifcing years of organizing CEN
tralized Party with an almost empty Party treas
ury, during the most difficult years of the fight
of the 'Iskra' against the economists and after
the Party Congress in the year of 1908, in the
first years of the fight between the Bolsheviki
and the Menshevild, Piatnitzky was one Of the
most efficient organizers of the transport of il
legal Party literature and of illegal Party workers
across the strictly guarded frontiers of Tsarist
Russia. At the time Of the revolution of 1905 the
rehearsal of the great October Revolution, Com
rade Piatnitzky was among the Party leading
comrades who organized and conducted the re-

proletariat.
On the basis of the above stated, the confer
ence decides, that % The most important task
before the underground Party organizations as
we'll as before the comrades working in legalzed
organizations such as trade unions, clubs, CO.
operatives. etc, is the development of the widest
propaganda against the insurance bill of the
Duma, which touches upon the interests of the
Russian Proletariat, but which acts against these
interests in the grosSest manner.
90 The conference emphasizes that the
whole social democratic agitation on account of
the insurance bill must be linked up with the
situation of the proletarat in a modern capt.
talist society, with the critique of bourgeois il
lusions spread by the social reformists, and
generally with our basic socialiStic tasks on the
other hand, the character of the Dumas "re-
form" must be linked up in our propaganda with
the political moment through which we are pass
ing and with our revolutionary democratic tasks
and slogans.
90 Fully approving the votes of the social
democratic fraction of the Duma against the
bill, the conference calls the attention of the
comrades to the large and valuable material,
which the debates in the Durna on this question
have given to clear up the attitude of various
classes on the matter of labor reforms the con-
ference particularly calls attention to the I'M

evolutionary mass fights in Odessa In the years
of the ebb of the mass movement, in the years
OF profound reaction. Camrade Piatnizky again
became organizer of the Illegal apparatus of the
Bolshevist Centre abroad.
In the fight against the hquidatorS he was
one of the organizers of the Conference at Prague
in the year 1912 when the Bolsheviki finally con-
stltuted themselves an independent Party Soon
afterwards he again came to Russia as an agent
Of the feminist Central Committee and was or
ganzer of the illegal work on the Volga i'm
mediately up TO his arrest and Punishment to
Siberia. After the February Revolution, which
freed him from the Punishment, he became or
ganizer of the railway workers and one of the
leaders of the armed revolt in Moscow and then
secretary OF the Moscow Party organization In
recent years he has been member of the high
est Party body of the c. p S. u. the Central
Control Commission and later also OF the Central
Committee He is the head of the organization
work and member of the E. c. c. I. and one of
the secretaries of the Executive Committee of
the Comintern These only the most import
ant events in the career Of Comrade Piatnitzky.
1t is not easy to describe Comrade Piatnitzky's
activity In the Comintern Not hundredth part
of the leading work which he has performed and
is still performing in the Communist World Party
ever reaches the knowledge Of the outside public.
The training of the professional revolutionary
under Lenin's leadership is shown in every detail
of Comrade Piatnitzkys work--the work of pro-
fessional revolutionary who always with the
greatest modesty serves the comrades and organ
izations, which he, with the greatest circumspec-
ton and taking into account all the circum-
stances, leads and YIELDS together with firm
and secure hand. Within the frame Of the gen.
eral leadership Of the Comintern Comrade Plat
nitzky worked passionately as Bolshevist Party
architect and mass organizer in securing the
application of the historical experience of the
Bolshevist Party well as in organizing the
work of the leading bodies of the Comintern
itself.
In the arduous and long years of struggle
against the remnants of social democratic tradi-
lions both in the political and the organizatonal
field, against the theory of spontaneity and the
underestimation Of the role Of the Party as the
leader and organizer Of the masses arising there
from, Comrade Piatntzky has fought with firm
consistency and unyielding tenacity for the car
rying out Of the feminist principle Of organ
ization and methods in every single section Of
