Tor, in spite of the efforts of the
Central Committee, refused to
correct his line. But certainly
while the Central Committee has
given time to COmrade Taylor to
think it over, correct and repudi-
ate his line, the Central Commit
tee will not tolerate that any
cOmrade in the Party could have
a different line from the general
line Of the Party. Our Party has
only one line; it is not possible
to be a member of our Party and
have different line from the
general line of the Party.
Il think, Comrades" continued
PurO, 81 am speaking the opin-
ion of the Central Committee
when I state that the Central
Committee will surely take very
definite steps against such devil
atiOns. Of course, this is not the
only deviation COmrade Taylor
has committed. According to the
reports, Taylor is repeating the
slanderOus attacks Of the Trot-
skyiteS against our German Party
and other such things which are
quite serious. Sharp measures
against such deviations are nee
eSsary, especially now"
COnlrade Puro Analyses United
Front Work.
Comrade Puro then analyzed
wrong tendencies in the united
front work, especially the tendency
to lose the Party's identity upon
entering the united front, to hide
the face of the Party, and not men
ton the Communist Party. Such
tendencies, he said, lead toward a
compromising attitude 10 the Far
mer-Labor Party and the social
fascists, and would disarm our
Party.
Comrade Puro also criticized the
tendency not to base farm work on
the poor farmers and on the agri-
cultural workers.
1t is only by placing our pro-
gram definitely upon the poor
and small farmers, that we can
also win the middle element
which is more favorable, and
struggle against the rich farmers,
against the kulak element in the
countryside.
Comrade Puro then took up the
tasks Of the Party districts, the
youth work and the farm paper.
Comrade Manning johnson, dis
trict organizer of the Buffalo dis
trict, stated that the Buffalo dis
trict has built nine locals of the
Steel and Metal Workers Indus
trial Union, with more than 1900
dues paying members. These local
unions are organized on a mill and
departmental basis with depart
mental committees. These sue
cesses. and the leading of strike
struggles, could not have been pos
sible, said Conrade johnson, with
out the bitter struggle conducted
against the A. F. of L. leaders in
the Amalgamated Association. The
A. A. now has only a few members
and its leaders are discredited
Work was carried on both inside
and outside the A. A.
