SELF-SATISFACTION, SELF CRITI-
CISM, AND THE RECRUITING
DRIVE
BY DAVID GORDON.

TO understand our strength and shortcomings
is essential towards properly ORIGINATING our
selves TO the Party activity. Proper orientation
to and carrying through of our tasks is the pre-
requisite for the best recruitment into the Party.
Such an understanding Of strength and weak
ness is hindered, however, by sef-Satis1ed at
titude towards work accomplished and lack OF
self-crticis1n This is exemplified in District 6,
and, no doubt in other districts.
Let us examine the election campaign in
Cleveland. From an agitational point of view,
from the point of view Of arousing wide SEN
timent extremely favorable to the Party, with
the exception Of the general literature sales, the
campaign was one Of the best ever conducted by
the Party in any major city. Thousands of
workers were speaking about our campaign.
Thousands Of workers attended the various mass
meetings. thousands more received our cam
pagn material But the number recruited into
the Party as result Of the campaign was not
more than so, and this number included work
crs joining the Party in sections situated out
side Cleveland.
Comrades were justihably enthusiastic about
the results and about the campaign as a whole.
More than 5000 votes we're officially recorded
for the Party candidate. But the activities we're.
so much centered about a political struggle alone
we're, i'll practice considered OF secondary inn
portance. Roofing the election campaign in the
shops was only specifically done. Therefore no
recruiting from the shops as a result Of the cam
paign.
In spite of this, comrades overlook the weak
nesses of the campaign and stress primarily the
gains.
While it is absolutely necessary TO claim every
gain, at the same time particular stress must be
laid on weaknesses. Why? Because weaknesses
in the campaign, and not the strong phases of
it, are what caused too few organizatonsl re-
sults-not to speak Of the possibility of having
reached even wider masses OF workers
The tendency TO harp mainly on the gain5
"aids" in losing our perspective because 1t
amounts to a self administering of the dangerous
drug Of self satisfaction and lack Of Selfcriti-
cisrn.
This was not only expressed in regards TO the
election campaign, but also in regard to the re
cruiting drive. In previous article, / quoted
from the Recruiting Drive resolution OF district
words to the effect that the Party recruiting
drive is not considered complete complete unless
the Party recruits the quota set for the YCL
The quota set was 500. The number recruited,
according to the last Recruiting Drive Bulletin.

blocking all further organization
activity.
Such responsibility cannot be toll
Grated by the Party.
While this particular member has
been severely disciplined the Party
hereby issues a warning also to all
other Party members and function
aries that, under pain of severe
measures, they must take all possible
steps and precautions which may be
necessary for the safeguarding and
protection of Party connections and
materials.
AS the best answer to the attacks
and terror of the bourgeoisie and its
tools, however, the revolutionary
workers, far from being inundated,
should continue and redouble their
efforts toward mass work and activi-
tics in spite of all police terror, jail
ing, blacklisting and all other means
of coercion used by the capitalists.

Our Correspondent IN Moscow

II you want really to see what the new life in
the Soviet Union means, then go TO its youth.
Here you meet the fresh outlook of genera
tons who've never known capitalist oppression.
Neither have their minds suffered from the dis
tortionS and misguidance watch for instance
passes for education in the buSinesS-controlled
schools of the United States. These children
we're born into free workers society, they have
been norished by its cornradeship.
In spite of many difficulties that have to be
overcome, such shortage of forces and insult
ficiert equipment, the Soviet government is do
ing all in its power to guarantee the youth
wen-rounded, proletarian education so that they
can take their full part, both today and in future
years, as active builders Of socialism
Because 70 al this, Soviet children OF even
eight and nine years have way Of looking at
things grasp on life that actually sstounds
those who come into contact with them for the
first time. Seasoned Communists, both here and
abroad find that these youngsters have much
to teach them. They are human products of the
new era, the offspring Of the victorious revolu-
ton.
Entire books can and will be written about
Soviet youth Here " is possible to give only
some of the experiences which was had at a
Childrens Town in odessa
Natasha
This Self-governing commune is composed OF
twelve hundred children who had been orphaned
by the years Of civil war and famine, which
lasted in the Ukraine until about decade ago.
For this purpose the Soviet government had set
aside some twenty houses with their gardens.
These had formerly belonged to wealthy Odesss
manufacturers and bankers, but after the revo-
luton they had become public property. Under
the skilled, conradely guidance OF their leaders,
the orphaned children set out developing them
selves and their common life
Among them was Natssha Her father had
been killed during the inlperialist World War,
her mother had died few years later So
Natasha has been member Of the commune
since three years Of age. Now she Is girl OF
thirteen.

BY ANNA ROCHESTER,,
Author of Labor and Coal"

For coal mine workers under CAPT.
taIsn, progress in the mechanical
technique of coal mining has meant
the displacement of thousands of
workers for whom there are no jobs
in other industries. 1t has brought
a sharp Speeding-up of work for
those employed in the highly me-
chanized mines. 1t has increased
the hazards for the workers. Tech
meal progress in American coal
mines has been Incidental 10 the
chaos of capitalist competition and
each employers determination to ex-
tract the greatest possible profit from
! the workers in his coal mines.
Mechanical underwriting of the
coal in the seam was first introduced
about fifty years ago, but it devel-
oped slowly. In 1913 only half of
the bituminouls tonnage was cut by
machine and even in 1880 about 20
per cent of the deep-mined bitulmin-
GUS output was either cut by a hand
pick or shot down without previous
cutting. In recent years the cutting
machines have been adapted to more
different situations; they work more
rapidly and are moved about more
easily than formerly. So the number
Of machines in use actually declined
by 80 per cent from 1928 to 1929 al
though the total machine cut ton
mage was increasing.
The anthracite seams in Peunsyl-
vania have offered great obstacles to
mechanization and as yet less than
2 per cent of the anthracite tonnage
is cut by machine.
The first loading machine in a
commercial mine was installed in
1922. Several different types of ma
chimes are now in use. Some elm
mate all hand Shovelng except for
incidental cleaning-up; others re-
quire hand slloyeling on to the lower
end of a conveyor which then lifts
the coal into the coal car. About 10
per cent of the bitluninous tonnage
was mechanically loaded in 1880.
In some coal fields, where the coal
lies near the surface, strip pits" are
in operation. The overbrden of soil
and rock is removed and the coal is
dug in the open air with enormous
power shovels. These large strip pits
are a recent development and never
could become the general method OF
mining. In 1880 about 100000
tons, or 4.3 per cent of the total
bituninouS output, were mined in
strip pits.
Motor haulage Casually electrically
has replaced mules on the main
haulage ways of all but the smallest
underground mines. Even for the
gathering of cars from single rooms
and side entries mules are being sup
planted by small electric locomotives

The Party Furnishes
Dangerous Irresponsible,

The Central Control Commission of
the Communist Party has recently
taken very stringent action against
a Party member through whose care
lesSness the police got hold of certain
names and addresses and were en-
abled to strike heavy blows against
the local organization of the Party
and of the Metal Workers Industrial
League in the Eastern Ohio Section.
The member went to speak at
meeting in a small steel town with
his pockets crammed full with signed
application cards, names and adj
dresses of members, and other inner
materials of the Party and of the
Metal Workers Industrial League, Of
which he was an organizer.
The result Of this fragrant ire
sponsibility and carelessness was that
the police, in arresting him, obtained
all these names and addresses, pro-
ceeded to raid the homes of the
members and sympathizers, got
number Of them fired from their
jobs, and succeeded in temporarily

THE REGIONAL PARTY TRAINING SCHOOL

farmers. The average age was much
below thirty. There were several Y
C.. L. members between the age OF
10 and Il or %. With the exception
Of five or six all we're native born,
and Of the others only two lived In
the q. S. less than ten years. Prac-
tically all the students took an active
part in the class struggle before they
came to the school.
Those who came from Pittsburgh
received their revolutionary baptism
In the coal miners strike in Western
Pennsylvania, Ohio, ETC.; the Chicago
group came fresh from the field OF
the struggles Of the unemployed;
many of the other students PARTED
pated in strikes, unemployed demon
STATIONS, hunger marches and picket
lines.
The average length OF Membership
In the Party was about six months.
Those in the League showed an ave-
rage OF about a year. Taking this
into account the results gained from
the schools are more than gratifying.
The districts which sent the students
acquired now a new crop OF section
functionaries who are equipped with
a certain amount of theoretical
knowledge of Marxism-Leninism, who
are full of enthusiasm and are an
xiouS to apply their theoretical train
ing to the practical tasks in the Par
ty or the unions. 1t now depends
whether the respective districts will
make proper use of these students
by assigning them to practical work
which will help to develop initiative
and revolutionary determination, in
other words 1t is up to the districts
to guide the comrades in their work,
to help them become good bolSheviks.

BY A. MARRIOTT

This successful oonnpletion of a
sIx-Week training school on a region
al basis marks another important
step made by our Party in the direc-
ton Of training more cadreS Of func-
ttonsrieS for thu movement through
the teachings Of MarSdsm-L eninism
which is 80 urgent at the present
time.
Our Party has recognized the i'm
portance OF theoretical training Of
It's members long time ago and 1t
has taken the necessary steps in or
der to provide such training. The
National Training School held In
New York during March, April and
May 1881, where Sc workers received
an intensive theoretical schooling for
thres months was the biggest Job
carried through successfully by our
Party as far as inner-Party educa-
ton is concerned. 1t was indeed a
heavy burden for the Party to carry,
but the results proved that 1t was
worth the while. Now with the Re-
gional School carried through, In ad-
didon the many district training
schools, weekend classes for party
members in N. Y. and other places,
the study circles introduces into the
units, the better type of discussion in
the units and the general tendency
to politicalize our activities in the
units, shop nuclei, etc.,-all this will
tend to raise the political level of
our membership and will develop
leading cadres for our Party, the
Revolutionary trade unions, mass
organization, etc. These are the
mereSt beginnings and far from Sa-
tisfying the crying need for the in
tensive political theoretical training
of the Party membership. The good
beginnings show the great POSSIBLE
tiles for our Propaganda work.
Composition of Students
1t is in place at this time to give
a critical estimation of the Regional
Training School which terminated
early this year.
The school consisted of twenty
seven students sent from five dist
riots, namely: district five pitts
burgh), district six cleveland, dist
riot seven Detroi0, district eight
Chicago and district nine (Minne-
sota). The composition of the stu
dents was good, 100 per cent proleta-
r1sn element coming from important
industries such as: steel, coal and
metal, mining, automobile, building
trade, several mechanics and two

Curriculum and Method

The curriculum of the Regional
School consisted of three major sub
subjects;
Organization Principles and Work;
Trade Union Strategy and Tactics;
elements Of Leninism.
In addition special lectures we're
given in connection with Youth
Work, History of our Party, History
of GLASS Struggles, the Five Year
Plan, and others.
The method employed in the Re
gional School was similar to the
one used in the National Training
School, namely the study groups
and conferences. The whole class was
divided into groups OF five with one
comrade as the leader. A whole day
was given to one subject except Or
ganization which was given almost
two days. The day was divided as
follows: time to rise, z AM. (the
school was held in a camp about
thirty miles from Town. the students
stayed at the camp all the time).
1880 physical exercise; breakfast;
from 9 to II conference. At the con-
ference the instructor introduces the
subject, answers questions, and makes
assignments to the groups. These
assignments we're of two kinds; one
reading and studying the material
in connection with the given subject,
this for all the groups, the other was
in the nature of special reports or
tasks for each group. For example
in the class on Organization, one
group would be constituted as shop
nucleus in a given plant, another
group as a section committee, a third
as street unit, etc. These groups
