Strike Resolution
OF Great Value
To the Party

THE Lessons Of the recent strike
struggles in the U.S.A.," printed
in the Daily Worker Sept. 18th, is
a document of great historical sig
nificance for the toiling masses of
this country In general. and for the
Party in particular. The resolution
marks a decisive turn of the Party's
attention toward intensifying the
work in the A. F. Of L. unions and
among the great masses of unor-
ganized workers.
On July 8, 1922. the Central
Committee of the Bolshevik Party
of the Soviet Union, in Resolution
Of Greetings to the All Union Coun-
Gil of Trade Unions on the occa-
sion of its Fifth Anniversary, wrote
the following: Red October was
possible because the Russian Trade
Union movement has adopted the
banner of proletarian revolution.
The Soviet Republic defeated It's
countless enemies because the trade
unions, uniting the entire working
class of Russia, had given all pos
sible support to the proletarian
power. The Russian Soviet Repub-
lie will overcome all difficulties and
will defeat all its enemies because
the banner of Communism Is also
the banner Of the Russian Trade
Movement"
Comrade A. K. Abolin. leader of
the Trade Unions in the Soviet
Union, in speech delivered in con-
nection with the 18th Anniversary
of the october Revolution and the
Trade Unions, pointed out the fol-
lowing: "The close indissoluble tie
Of the Trade Unions with the van
guard of the working class, the Boil
shevik Party, the struggle of the
trade unions under the banner of
Communism, under the leadership
Of the Party of Lenin for the die
tatorship of the proletariat, for So
Wet Power,-iS the basic feature of
the Soviet Trade Union movement,
which is sharply distinguished from
the notwithstanding and other
reactionary trade unions of the
West and in America, which have
their fate tied up with the fate of
the capitalist order of society.
when the Bolshevik Party pre-
pared itself for the October Revolt
ton, when it struggled for the win
ming of the majority of the working
class on the side of the proletarian
revolution and unfolded tremendous
revolutionary work among the
working and peasant masses, in
order, going at the head Of these
masses, supporting itself on the
tremendous upsurge of the revolu-
tionary movement, to break through
the chain Of the world imperialist
front in its weakest link-then it
intensified its work in the trade
unions, the most important mass
organizations of the working class.
1t was no easy task, because the
Bolshevik Party had to overcome
tremendous difficulties on the road
of intensifying its work in the trade
unions"
This analysis of the activities of
the Party in the various strike
struggles is concrete and in Ian
guage understandable to the average
rank and file worker. The Reso-
luton should reach as many non
Party workers as possible and meet
ings should be arranged to discuss
this Resolution with workers of
various industries.

How Unit Organizer Sets Example
IN MY letter want to stress the
fact that in order to become
worthy Party member it isn't
enough to know what is to be done
1t is also necessary to have a good
deal of determination and persis-
tency in putting through those
small, everyday Party tasks. Here
is an example: My unit organizer.
Comrade B., who, in addition to
Party work, earns living for
family OF seven, worked out with the
Unit Buro three months plan
of work, which is a part of the
plan of the Section. To set an
example to the unit, he himself
secured two yearly subs for the
Daily Worker, renewed three old
ones, made two connections with
Goodrich rubber workers, collected
over $12 for the Daily Worker, and
sold $3.50 worth of Thaelmann
stamps. In addition he also dis
poses of a number of Daily Workers
at the local union meetings of the
rubber workers.
If we all agreed that without
revolutionary practice revolutionary
theory is valueless, we would see
to it that this revolutionary prac-
tice becomes part of our daily
life. If we have more patience in
our Party work, and come closer to
the masses, we will bring our Party
forward.
