three OF her sons and homesteaded

In 1916 she left the homestead and
moved to Plentywood, where with
two grandSons she made her home

within the collective there must be
individual responsibility for every
task that must be carried out; in
dividual responsibility means also
checking up on the execution of

and criticizing bad work, coming

Let us be fore stringent, more
'hard-boiled,' in our demand for
the thorough execution Of the work.
Let us set higher standards for the
work, and whenever the work
doesn't come up to that standard,
let us develop collective criticism
until it is brought up to that
standard.
This collective criticism is the
greatest power that we have for
overcoming every weakness in our

owe Don't Consider Literature A
Separate Thing But Part of All
Other Activities"

I've have begun the visiting of
mass organizations to establish
literature tables. Results come at
once.
8-We don't consider literature as
separate thing but part of all
other activities. Literature is a
weapon to fight capitalist ideas and
to win the workers to Communism,
According to the district literature
agents report. our section is the
best section of the city, considering
number of members and sells the
largest number of pamphlets re-
CARELESS of membership.
But all this is not enough. The
average sale of literature per men,
Der per month is only Csc. This
shows that we have plenty of room
for improvement. We are always
discussing methods of still further
increasing sales.
We challenge Section 2, and II,
together, to equal our mark in
March and April. These three sec
tions concentrate on the Stockyards.
In February all three together sold
only $24 worth of literature. We
would like to get acquainted with
one comrade in Sections 2, 7 and
II that can talk to the workers in
a way that will equal Conlrade Oh
gins why Communism"

Section No. 3, District No. 8

Section No. used to sell an aver
age of S13 literature month. $40
was high mark one month. But
in January we climbed to $39; in
February to $43, and March will
register still another increase.
We did nothing sensational to
accomplish these results.
I've established two regular
weekly periods when literature could
be bought. This had never been
done before.
"A week never passes that we
do not send note to the units on
literature. This brings good results.
3-We started discussions in sew
eral units on the Communist, which
raised the sale in these units.
I've publish monthly bulletin
showing what each unit buys and
point out the weak units.
5-We have a prize for the best
unit to be awarded May First. This
seems to stimulate three units we
know of. We haven't reports for all
units.
6-All three members of the Sec
ton Secretariat continually interest
themselves in the literature depart
ment, guiding the work.

The Vital Need for PConvenon Discussion Work
Party and Trade Unions Lag Seriously Raising Special for

Negro steel worker as one of the
representatives. The bosses agents
made a speech, insisting that the
Negro representative be respected"
The result was that the Negro work
ers in this very department. where
the Steel and Metal Workers Indus
trial Union has conducted a struggle
in the interests of the workers. the
Negro steel workers voted for the
Negro representative and therefore
for the company union. Now, of
course, the company men are busy
agitating among the white workers
against the Negro steel workers try
ing to create division among the
workers.
Lack of Fight For Equal Rights
What do we see here? Why did
the Negro steel workers participate
in the elections? The answer is clear
with the very asking of the question.
Because our union has not carried
on a fight to convince the Negro
workers that thru the S.M.W.IU.
they can gain equal rights. Because
the Negro workers feared that they
will be the first to be victimized if
they vote against the company
union, and they knew from past ex-
perience that the white workers
have not as yet put up a fight for
them. The white workers, Of course,
can be modified for such fight,
but the Communists and the other
members of the SM.WI.U. have not
in all the years of the existence of
the union in the plant made clear
the issue.
1t is enough when we see that the
company could utilize demagogically
the issue Of respect for the Negro
workers as against the white work.
ers, who evidently did not show such
respect in the past as proven by the
fact that even when the workers did
participate in the company union
elections, they never nominated and
never fought for Negro workers as
representatives.
Thus by our failure to raise the
issues facing the Negro workers,
thru our failure to fight for the spe-
cial demands of the Negro workers,
thru our failure to fight against the
existing discrimination practiced
against the Negro workers we are
making it possible for the employers
to divide the workers and attack
and defeat both the Negro and white
workers.
Unclarity of Negro Question
Aside from the neglect of work
in winning the Negro workers there
is here reflected something else. 1t
is the unclarity that exists among
our comrades in the trade unions
on the Negro questions. The COM
rades believe that it is sufficient
to state that we are for equality,
for equal pay for equal work, etc.
The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1934-03-28

that the Negro question be viewed
not merely from the point of view
of the narrow economic struggle, but
in the broadest sense as the prob
lem Of an oppressed national group,
for whom we fight.
This fight takes the form not
only in the struggle against lynch
ing, jim Crowism, ETC., but also for
the right of the Negro masses for
self determination in the black belt,
where they constitute the majority
of the toiling population. Here in
Baltimore, which is already part of
the South, and where the Jim Grow
laws prevail even more than in the
North, it is to our failure to raise
and fight on these issues that eX-
plains the situation in the elections.
Weakness Not Local
This weakness is, Of course, not
limited to Baltimore and to the
steel union. Notwithstanding some
progress in work among the Negro
workers made by some of our
unions, such as the Marine Workers
industrial Union, the Food Work.
ers' Industrial Union, the Needle
Trades Workers Industrial Union,
etc, this remains one Of the weak
est phases Of the work of the trade
unions affiliated to the T. U. U. L.
and the rank and file oppositions
within the A. F. of L. and other re-
formist unions, as, for example, the
oppositions in the railroad brother
hoods. In the case of the present
taxi strike in New York We face
the same problem.
There is not a single one of the
T. U. U. L. unions, there is not a
