THOSE FOOD WORkE
TNJUNCTIONS

DLOOhlSuJ ~ L .
Comrade Editor;
I read your adj in the Daily
Worker about Hoffman's Cafeteria
two weeks ago on a Saturday.
Mr., Hoffman, the so-caled good
hearted fellow, claiming that he
helps the workers in struggle,
spent over $1,000 for gangsters
and police to break the strike led
by the militant F.WL.U. and also
arresting 9 of our comrades.
Two days later he signed up
with Local No. 1875 of the A. F.
of L. and the workers working
under the Union scale of hours
and wages. The demands of the
workers were: bus boys $500
for a 60-hour week. Working I'M
der Local 325, the conditions are
Y hours a week at $40.
Hoffman with the help of Ruby
Green and Harry Kane, officials of
Local 235, A. F. of L., obtained a
temporary injunction against the
Union. Only recently through
pressure of the rank and file, the
officials of Local 1876 were forced
to resign for tricks done in the
past.
I appeal to you that you should
call the attention of the Brighton
Beach workers to this.
Comradely,
A Food Worker of Brighton

I have simple desire to congratu-
late everyone responsible for the i'm
provenent in the Daily Worker. My
union newspaper tAFL) has complete
ly sold out to the new deal and it
is disgusting to find SO much boot
licking, so much ink split on some
thing which, must it be obvious to all
thinking workers, is doomed to fail
ure. The Daily" has long been my
guide and now look forward with
increased interest to each issue Keep
up the good work. I enclose a con-
tribution ($3.0o) to the sustaining
fund.

but do their best to concretize its
line. The major task now is to fol-
low up the plans, to check on the
results, to concretize the decisions
made by the units along the line Of
the plan, to improve the program Of
work on the basis of the new de-
velopments and possibilities.
The major tasks of the units that
we want to emphasize are:
|. Spreading Of the Daily Worker
in the shops and in their territory.
This will help net only the building
Of the Daily into a mass paper, but
the Central Organ Of the Party will
in turn become an instrument which
will help tremendously in building
of the Party. which means strength
ening of existing units, building of
new shop nuclei and street units, and
furthering the struggle in general.
2. The other problem is recruiting.
Here also the units must take ener-
getic steps in order to do their utmost
to bring into the ranks of the Party
the best fighters, especially from
among the strikers, the best elements
from among the members of the
trade unions, and of the mass or
CARNATIONS.
The outstanding weakness of TIE
plans in general that must be cor
rected in order to carry the Open
Letter into effect is the lack of con-
sciolls outlook towards struggle. To-
Gay. many individual Party mem
bers are involved in the struggles
going on throughout the country. and
are taking leading part in them.
The Party as a whole is instrumental
in the development of the daily
struggles. However, there are very
few units that can record having
taken the initiative for the develop
ment of struggle in given factory
or on a neighborhood scale. In the
strikes there are only individual COM
radeS who are active, while the units
are continuing their routine life.
The central task in the Open Letter
is the building of the Party into a
mass party. We will not build a
mass party by merely mechanically
assigning now MANY new HleInpeIS
do we have to recruit. Yes, we may
set ourselves a goal of doubling, or
TRIPPING the membership in a certain
period but this goal must be based
on a perspective of developing mass
struggles. In the course of these
struggles the Party will be able to
recruit the best elements into its
ranks.
