trial centers and big enterprises.
The Central Committee must de-
vote particularly careful attention
to the development and proper
utilization of Party cadres.
The Central Committee must
take steps to carry through the
directives of January, 1881, on con-.
centration. The Central Commit
tee must Immediately give con-
crete form to these directives, Sc
Letting a certain number of big en-
terprises and locals in the respec-
tive districts and branches of in-
dustry, sending suitable forces
there and Systematically checking
up the work in these points in con-
junction with the District Commit
tees. In the course of the next six
months, number of well-function-
ing lower organizations (sections
and factory nuclei) must be built
up as result of this work. In
carrying out this concentration the
Party must not for an instant
slacken its attention from import
ant mass struggles wherever they
may develop. The Party must take
special measures to combat the spy
danger and for carrying on work
under semi-legal and illegal condi-
tions.
The Party must pay special at
tention to work among the youth
and to the situation of the Young
Communist League, which despite
certain growth is still in a very UNI
satisfactory condition and isolated
from the young workers. The
Party has not yet begun to carry
out in practice the directives of
the Secretariat of the E. C. C. I.
OF May, 1881, concerning the Par
tvs execution of the Eleventh
Plenum decisions on the youth.
These tasks must Immediately be
carried out together with sharp
struggles against sectarianism and
Right opportunism in the League
and League leadership.
The first beginnings of mass
work of the Party in the struggle
for Negro rights, for uniting white
and black workers in the struggle
for their needs, and for leading the
liberation struggle of the Negro
masses, must be further improved
and broadened by (a) popuIariza-
ton of the full Communist pro-
gram on the Negro question in con-
nection with the partial struggles
ON everyday demands and events,
which must be intensified; (b)
thorough popularization of the
solution of the national question in
the U. S. S. R., Socialist construc-
ton in the autonomous Soviet Re-
publics, mobilizing the broad Ne
gro masses for defense of the So
Wet Union; (c) broadening the re-
cruiting of Negro workers into the
Party and trade unions, making
red unions the real channels of
Negro work; (d) broad campaign
within the Party as we'll as in the
mass organizations against white
chauvinism and all forms of Jim
crow practices, ruthlessly exter-
minating within the Party, not only
the open, but also the half-hidden
and conciliatory forms; (e) carry
ing out some concrete measures
guaranteeing the next half-year or

ry on a consistent struggle
against right OppOrtunism as the
main danger as well as against OPP
portunism covered with cleft"
phrases. Right opportunism was
recently expressed in many places,
for example, in the capitulation and
conciliatory attitude towards Left
social-fascists (Southern Illinois,
Lawrence and Pickens).
The immediate central task Of
the Party is the mobilization of the
masses in the struggle against the
bourgeois offensive and the war
danger, organizing the workers in
broad united front struggles, in the
preparation and carrying out. of
strike struggles, in movements
against wage cuts and against fore
ing down of the living conditions of
the workers, in the extension and
intensification of the struggle of
the unemployed for immediate re-
lief, and for unemployment and So
cial insurance, raising these strug-
giles to the level of mighty class
battles against u. S. Imperialism.
In order that the Party be in a
position to carry out these main
tasks, it must give the most careful
attention in all it's work to the APP
plication of a correct mass policy.
This correct mass policy consists
in developing the mass struggle of
the workers, the working women
and the young workers, on the
basis of their immediate economic
and political needs, as they arise
from their life and work, and con-
f1icts with the employers, reform
list bureaucrats, the state, etc.
This means, Furthermore, that
these struggles must be carried
through on the basis of the activi-
ties of the masses, and that the
tasks of the Communists are pre-
cisely to develop and organize this
activity and initiative of the
masses. This calls for the most
concrete application of the united
front from below in accordance
with the varying degree of influ-
ence of the Communists, the ex-
tent of the rehabilitation of the
workers, the influence of the social
fascists, etc, thus applying the line
of independent policy not mechan-
ically, but on the basis of careful
analysis of the concrete conditions
of work and of struggle. This calls
also for greater activity in man.
euvering against the social fascists
and employers.
Inseparably linked up with and
as a basic prerequisite of our en-
tire mass work, is persistent strug-
gle against the fascist and social
fascist leaders of the A. F. of 4.
and against the Socialist Party,
especially their left social-fascists
(Musteites). In the A. F. of L.,
the Party must really start sys-
tematic and serious work to organ
ize widespread opposition under
our leadership. The fact that the
employers with the collaboration
of the bureaucrats of the railroad
unions could carry through wage
cut affecting one-half million rail
road workers without the Party
being able to develop any serious
resistance, signalizes the ruinous
results of our isolation from the
workers in reformist unions. On
the other hand, the success in the
furriers' union and some of the
building trades locals, etc. shows

co. Popular makeup, pictures

CD All Party problems must be
handled in such way as to attract
the interest of the working masses.
(8) A press commission must be
established by the Central Commit
tee consisting of employed and I'M
employed workers, who, in close
contact with the editors, promote
liye contact between the paper
and the lives and fights of the
workers.
The work of the lower Party
+, organizations. must be basically
changed. Nine-tenths of all the
work of the lower organizations
must be concentrated directly on
the work among the masses, and
not, as at present, in countless in
ner meetings. The center of gray
ity must be shifted to the develop
ment of the lower organizations,
to the sections and units. The
methods of leadership, assistance
and of checking up on the work of
the lower organizations by the
higher organs must be method of
personal guidance in accordance
with the special conditions of the
given field of work, of the given
enterprise and not simply the send
ing out of circulars. In all lower
organizations, committees must be
formed which actually work col
lectively, and a stop must be put
to the state of affairs in which the
work is concentrated in the hands
of few comrades.
The main basis of the work and
development of the lower Party or
CARNATIONS is the work in the fac
tory. Up till now the Party has
not. found the fit methods for car
rying on this work. The content
of this work is not merely organi-
rational detail routine, but is the
whole struggle against the capt.
talist offensive and against the pol
icy of reformists. The first essen
tial condition for successful work
in the factory is daily contact with
the mass of workers in it and thor
Ough knowledge of the position of
the workers in the factory and of
the concrete conditions for strug-
gle. The Communists must firmly
grasp all the countless conflicts of
a minor and major character aris-
ing daily with the employers, fore
men and trade union bureaucrats.

ers' rights, dismissals in case of
arrests of workers, etc. 1t is the
task of the Communists to investi-

tanned here in their case, State Senator
Emory L. Coblentz and four of his as
sociates yesterday asked for a change
of venue on charges of conspiracy to
defraud
Senator Coblentz, who was president
of the trust company. was joined in
the petition for removal by Charles
McC. Matthias, Grover L. Michael and
G. Thomas Summers, vice presidents
and S. Elmer Brown. treasurer.

In asking the removal. Senator
Coblentz and his associates declare the
foreman of the grand jury which in
dicted them was a director of the
Sykesville station Of the trust company,
'and has openly manifested his hostility
against the defendants"
Excerpts from articles in Sykesville
and Ellicott City papers were offered
with the petition as evidence of the
aroused feeling IN Howard County.
1t is also charged that largely at
tended public meetings we're held in the

was directed against the defendants.
There are approximately 2,700 de-
positors of the Central Trust Co. re-
siding in Howard County, the total
population of which is $4,000" the

their friends, associates and families,

Statement Is Issued.
'1t is still of the utmost Importance
for us and our representatives to move

The statement emphasizing the need
for continued secrecy issued from the

1t is still of the utmost Importance for
us and our representatives to move

/ Vacation days are over. What q
splendid time lot of the peoplC
had. The best ever, is the answer OF
not a few. Memories of 1882 will
linger for many years to come. Not
very much money, few mosquitoes
and ideal summer weather, with the
usual Delaware hospitality, was the
crowning feature of the recreation
days. Folks from many states visit
ed lower Delaware homes this year.
There must be reason for the long
journeys.
A scene worth looking upon hap
pened recently when two young fell
lows, one eighty years, and the other
eighty-one years old, brothers-in-
law. Well, both of these men are of
jovial nature and see the funny
side of life and always ready for n
good laugh, preceded by a story.
Well, why the suspense, so here we
let the cat out of the bag, and tell
their names: Capt. Handy Holt and
Capt. Nemiah Murray of the Indian
River farm, Joined in a blade strip
ping contest with the workers they
had hired. Well, they finished one
row, and were convinced that the
old gray mare was not what she US
ed to be, and retired to chairs, be-
meath the weeping willow trees, for
rest and refreshments, with a good
laugh over what had happened.
Mrs. Dan Smith from New Jersey

their annual convention on Septem-
Der 27. The church and place will be
announced later This will be- good
news to Sunday school workers, as
many look forward each year TO the
help and instruction with a new re-
solve for the coming year. Don't
miss the convention.
On Labor Day large crowd of
people were busy with their angles,
fishing at Indian River Inlet. At
one time sixty-five people were
counted fishing; a wonderful sight |
of healthy recreation and enjoy
ment.
AS we approach the primaries to
nominate men for public Office, it |
might be we'll to consider the type
of man our country and State need
to work and cooperate with our peo-
pie during the next administration.
First of all we need honest men,
and then men who are qualified to
fill such positions and last but not /
least, sober minded men: not the
kind that are wet and vote dry, or
dry and vote wet, but home lovers
who stand for law and order and
of the Eighteenth amend
ment, and all other amendments for
the good of the common people. Be
sure to find out before the vote is
cast, whether your choice, is the
kind of man you can place conf
dence in, on the matter of prohibit
tion, or you may regret what you
have done some time during your
life. -..t. u~
