right Bolsh2vik manner will I'm
doub edly lead to building mass or
CARNATIONS and will give the Party
the leadership in mass struggle
But most of our comrades in the
Syracuse Section have not YET
reached the understanding Of thii
important work. We, therefore
should not be surprised to make
such slow progress in building u
our existing mass organizations
1. L. D., I. w. o., F. S. u, L. S. u.
Trade Unions, etc. At the present
time these organizations are rather
small groups. This reflects the sec
tartan activities Of our comrades
and shows that they have not
made the decisive step to fall in
line with the Open Letter. The
Syracuse Section neglected fraction
work very badly. The attempts
made were merely mechanical
paper attempts, therefore con-
demned to failure.
A short time ago got an assign
ment to organize fraction work in
order to carry out the Party Inns
concerning mass work, to build and
lead mass organizations. AS a
foreign-born worker. and not
speaking the English language very
well. was ra her hesitant and felt
to some extent inferior, not be-
cause I would not be able to tackle
the organizational part, but to what
extent my poor language would be
6 hindrance to convince the COM
rades to carry out the work. q
mention this because many of the
foreign born workers take the same
attitude) With all my love and
devotion for the revolutionary
movement I managed to break
down this wrong attitude. Deter
mined to make the comrades con-
scious about their fraction work
worked out the following four
months plan as control task
Months Control Task, Beginning
May 1, Ending Aug. 81, 1884
l. Membership Drive-Goal, 100
per cent increase in the coming
four months. Ways: (a) Socialis.
competition between the members;
! (b) house to house canvass, street
meetings; (c) visiting former mem
bers and sympathizers; I'd affairs,
picnics, etc.
2. Organizing of Left Wing
Groups-The most active and most
interested members shall form his
group. The fraction should have
regular meetings with this group to
involve these members in organized
work in the mass organizations.
Through this we will prepare them
for Party membership.
3. Have a Literature Agent in
Every Fraction-Mass distribu ion
of literature is a very essential part
Of fraction work.
4. Daily Worker Agent Make
the Daily Worker a part of the life
in every workers home. Getting
subs or get addresses of such work
ers, who would buy the paper daily
Give names to section literature
agent, for organizing Daily Worker
routes.
5. Language Paper Agent-The
same systematic work as mentioned
above.
6. Take Records of Members
Employed: In what shop working
aize CT factory, ETC., exists union
member of trade union, what local
SO that Party can Utilize them for
contacts to organize shop commit
tee, etc. Unemployed: Report them
to the Unemployed Council or Re-
lief Union.
7. Financial Support-B u q
around the Party a group of sym
pathizers, which regularly through
donations support the Party, in or
der to enable the Party to carry
out its revolutionary work; (b) mo-
Billie through the fraction for mass
participation on Party affairs.
5. Youth Work-In all organiza
lions we have to organize Youth
Groups. Work in cooperation with
Y. c. L. fraction. If no fraction is
existi--g, throw one Y G. L. member
in the Party fraction, so that tine
youth question gets the right atten-
ton.
If this plan is carried out under
the control of the Party it should
bring a change in our present frac-
ton work. I tried to hammer into
every comrades mind what Lonil
meant by saying:
at is not enough to be revo-
lutionary and adhercnt of Social
ism or Conlriurism in general.
What is needed, is the ability to
find at any momsnt that particu-
lar link in the chain which must
be graspcd with all ones might
to gain control OF the whole chain
and pass without hitch to the
next link"
