workers in the railroad industry they
will be strengthening the possibility
of success at the points Of concen-
tration. They will help to carry out
the very purpose Of concentration,
that is, the utilization of certain
key points which will set in motion
an entire industry, or at least a whole
locality"
How to Pick Points OF Concentration
III choosing the points Of concen-
tration III the railroad industry, there
were q, number Of misconceptions
which were developing, showing q
lack of clarity on the methods Of
choosing our points Of concentration.
In Chicago, where number Of pow
erful railroad systems terminate, 1t
is naturally very difficult to pick
out the particular point which We
can utilize to develop activity and
put into motion the entire locality.
Our discussion from the start showed
a lack of contact with railroad work.
ers and, therefore, an inability to
discuss all angles from the viewpoint
of picking out those roads where con-
tradictions are more rapidly driving
towards a clash between the workers
and the roads.
Some leading comrades In the dis
trict and in the railroad fraction de-
veloped the wrong conception that
our main point Of concentration
must be on those roads where we
already have forces.
The comrades failed to consider the
importance of the roads and our con-
tact with and influence on the work
ers in the industry. They failed to
take into consideration the fighting
traditions of the workers on particu-
lar roads, the influence of the takers
who have not been exposed equally
on every road, the financial position
of the roads selected for concentra-
ton, all from the viewpoint OF being

clubs, !. w. O., I. l. q. branches,
language clubs and language press.
But the point that we must continue
to stress is, the central instrument for
carrying through the turn TO the
masses is the unit and the section"
The fact that Conlrade Browder
particularly stresses, from the point
Of view Of concentration, the units of
the Party and branches of the mass
organizations, does not mean, as
some railroad workers have placed the
question, that the railroad industry in
District 8 is q national and district
concentration; that there are 60,-
600 employed and unemployed rail-
road men here and $50 railroad lodges
in the city Of Chicago alone which
the Chicago District is responsible
for. It does not mean therefore that
many outside forces must be picked
UP and assigned by the District to
cover these various points. Such
an Interpretation Of the question is
precisely what the Open Letter warns
us against in the sharpest terms when
1t states: "The Party must make its
main basis in the most important in
dustries, in the most important Dis
trict and in these Districts in the
most important factories"
Comrade Browder in explaining the
Open Letter at the Extraordinary
Party Conference tells us why we pick
certain key points for concentration.
He asks the question: why do we
concentrate at certain key points?"
and then explains:
"Our concentration Is to win the
strategic points precisely because such
success will move the entire industry,
or at least the whole locality, where
as, If we concentrate on the whole
locality and the whole industry, 1t
will take so long to move it that the
workers will be somewhere else by
the time we get anything done"

Wages SlaShed on
Work for us. Army
Textile Plants Get Big
War Dept. Orders

By The Labor Research Assn.
Recent textile orders from the army
include opening for bids for over one
million yards of khaki tent duck and
nearly a million yards Of 2O-ounce
olive drab suiting. Bids for nearly one
million wool blankets will be opened
March 5. Although recent reports on
purchase Of other materials, such as
airplanes and army trucks, by the
War Department, reveal widespread
graft and extensive profteering eek
cess profts"), similar conditions have
not as yet been recently exposed in
the textile field. During the last i'm
perialist war wool manufacturing
concerns, such as American Wooden
Co., were involved in prof1teering on
an extensive scale"
However, it appears that when the
War Department goes into the textile
market today, 1t requires such low
prices that the wages of workers-not
the profits Of the employers, Of course
have to be cut to meet them.
For example, the War Department
recently asked for bids on six million
yards Of cotton goods print cloth
with q three color combination. An
executive Of New England cotton
print works writes to the American
Wool and Cotton Reporter (January
IT, 1880 that "tlle bare cost figures
on a job Of this kind in the largest
print works like the Pacific Is five to
six cents a yard. In order to make
bids on the order, several print works
were obliged to work out lower wage
scales ready to be put into effect if
they received the contract"
This executive declares that the
fact that the government accepted a
very low bid on this job docs not
hardly seem to be exactly in keeping
with the spirit Of the N.R.A. 1t
looks as If Uncle Sam was somewhat

ARTICLE II
The path for the mobilization OF
forces and the strengthening of our
roots in the railroad industry Is not
single tracked. Like a network of
roalroad tracks heading toward a
central terminal, there are many d.
rections and forms, all OF which must
be used in order to get to the central
point-from our point Of view-the
point of concentration and the win
ming of the railroad workers to the
class struggle program of our Party.
I At the Extraordinary Conference
Comrade Browder asks the question
What are the instruments OF con-
centration?" and then answers as
follows:
'sThe concentration point for all
