The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1933-11-24
PARTY LIFE
The Work OF the Language
Bur0s and the Open Letter
Buros Which Have Reported Are Progress
ing, But Must Continue Check Up on Tasks

found in the work of all the language
burOs. The question of building the
Party in our every day activities
among the workers must be taken uE
in a more serious manner in all the
buros and fractions, and recruiting
into the Party must be made basic
task of all our fractions.
Conference Discusses Six Months
Plan
In order to help the fractions tc
understand the significance Of the
Open Letter and to discuss with them
their local problems the Jugo-Slaviar
Buro held a conference in Cleveland
of the fractions from the five con-
centration districts. This conference
took UP and Systematically discussed
the tasks OF the fractions in the
Croatian mass organizations in con-
.nection with the carrying out of the
six months plan of the Buro accord
ing to the line of the Open Letter
The Conference pointed out that
while some individual South SlaI
comrades are very active in the strike
struggles and in building the revolu-
tionary unions, etc. the fractions as
yet have not made any serious be-
ginnings to carry out the six months
plan in an organized and planned
manner. For example, in Farrell
Pennsylvania, a half dozen comrades
were very active in organizing some
1000 steel workers in the Steel and
Metal Workers Industrial Union, but
in this activity the comrades did not
work in an organized manner.
The fractions are the weakest in
Cleveland, where no attempt has beer
made to carry out the plan Of work
These weaknesses reflect the genera
weaknesses of the Party in Cleveland
There was no active language COM
mission in the district. For month;
the District did not pay the neces-
sary attention to the work Of the
fractions of the language buros. Il
is of the utmost Importance that
every District Buro Of the Party es-
tablish a functioning language CON-
mission. which will coordinate the
work of the different language frac-
tions in the district.
The Conference Of the South SlaN
Buro in Cleveland gave our comrades
a better understanding Of the baslC
political and organizational problem;
that must be solved in order to bet
| ter carry out the tasks of the Oper
Letter, namely: To put into eftec
| the concentration plan of the South
Slav Buro in the steel and mining
districts; to organize and stabilize
the work of our fractions in the diff
ferent mass organizations; to worE
out the plans Of the district buro'
| and individual fractions in harmony
with the plan of the National Bur(
| and the plans Of the local Party or
CARNATIONS, and to carry them on
| with the utmost energy among tn
South Slav workers, drawing then
into the Party and the revolutionar,
workers and initiating them into tn
mass struggles side by side with TIT
native born workers.
Proper Organization of Fractions
Only Guarantee
The Conference established TIT
fact that the basic problem of thu
South Slav Buro is to establish func'
tioning fractions in the lodges OF th'
GU. (the Creation fraternal or
ganization), which will be responsible
for working out a concrete task To-
day-to-day struggles Of the left wint
group for the immediate needs OF thu
unemployed workers, to raise within
the organization, the question o
strike struggles, etc, which IS TIT
only method of exposing the reac
tionary leadership and organizing
strong left wing movement.
The Language Buros which have re
ported to the center are making Ger
tain progress in their work. The!
must intensity their efforts, check VI
more closely on their control tasks
and proceed to determine how TN
work can be improved and VIVA
practical measures must be adopted
in order to guarantee and carry on
! the turn in the Party
