which was started by a 9-year-old

the next. A trap was set and the

with reactionary bureaucracy for

date demands, breaking through the
barriers set up by the bureaucrats
and the N. r. A. mo strike agree

Communists and militant workers in

the bureaucratic officials and for full
democratic rights fright to strike by
majority vote Of workers, no secret
negotiations by bureaucrats and en-
ployers, open negotiations by united
front mill committee, all settlements
to be decided on by membership, etc..
The Communists and militant
workers must put forward candidates
in all union elections on the basis of
our minimum program, especially in
elections to conventions of these
unions.
In this connection we must iInme-
diately prepare for the silk confer
ence being called by the United Tex
tile Workers. These issues should be
carried into the mills through the
united front mill committees and in
the union locals through a definitely
organized opposition group.

In connection with the above we
must develop a regular agitation
among the textile workers in the
name Of the Party Separate meet
ings, statements, mass distribution OF
the Daily Worker. particularly in
connection with concrete struggles,
and the starting of Communist Party
mill papers,. These Communist mill
papers can often serve as a means OF
building Communist Party organiZa-
ton inside the mills.
The building of the mill nuclei OF
the Party and z. c. L. is one OF our
most urgent tasks for giving leader
ship to the united front struggles In
side the mill and giving stability and
endurance to the union organization
that we establish.
Communist fractions to give init.

must be formed in locals of all union

functioning of the national Commu-
mist fraction.

ONE UNITED MASS SILK UNION

The national silk strike and the
united front policies proposed by the
N. t. w. U. has already laid basis
for such a union The immediate
step towards this objective is the
building Of united front mill COM
mittees combined into shop delegates
councils in the various silk centers.
Unless this policy is carried out there
is danger of the disintegration of the
silk organizations because of the dis
gust OF the membership with the be-
trayals of the U. T. w. and Love
stonite leadership.
We must reject the theory that
only through the U. T. w. can the
silk workers form one organization.
The thousands Of workers in indie
pendent silk unions do not want to
return to the domination of the Cor
mans and Kellers, with their split
tig and class collaboration policies.
Nor can any of the cleft" reform
list leaders CMuste, etc. lay claim
that their policy is the basis for one
union. In spite of their demagogy
these people support the McAIahon
policy. The N. T. W. u, in its pro-
gram, policy and actions, represents
the interests of the textile workers.
But the N. T. w. U. has not yet been
able to become the mass union of
the silk workers. Therefore, it would
be a mistake to make as precon-
dition for the formation of one union.

This must be radically changed.
The systematic recruiting of the tex
tile workers into the ranks of the
Party and Y. c. L. must be under
taken by all Communists in the in
dustry, particularly if they are union
organizers.
The Party must give special atten-
ton to the winning over of the
women and youth in the industry by
fighting for their special demands.
Special struggles, with the support
of the adult workers, must be
launched against the exclusion of the
youth from minimum wage proyi-
sions, against the firing Of the youth
and rehiring them as learners" etc.
The Communists and militant
workers in the industry should carry
OH wide agitation favoring voca-
tional training for the textile youth
between II and Is years of age and
that they shall be paid while learn
ing.
On this basis we must concretely
expose their exclusion from the in
dustry without any provision made
for their support. These activities
should be crystalIized in the forma-
ton of youth sections Of the N,TW.U.
Together with this we must carry
through the sharpest struggle for
equal rights for the Negro workers
in the industry.
Furthermore, the Party must strive
not only to organize the economic

Gratis strikcbreaking policies, and
showed to the masses the road Of
struggle. The Communist fractions in
the unions, and especially in the Ma
tional Textile Workers Union, was.
however, slow in carrying through the
turn demanded in the Resolution Of
the 14th Plenum Of the c. c. and
repeated more sharply in the Open
Letter. AS result of this our Party
did not play the decisive role 1t could
have played in organizing and lead
Ing the struggles Of the textile
workers.
There are growing signs that the
textile workers will not tolerate the
new attacks on their living standard.
The widespread discomfort against
the Six-loom system in the Lawrence
and PasSaic wooden mills can be con-
verted into militant struggle and or
ganization if given proper guidance
by the N.T.W.U. and the Communists
in the industry.
The growing sentiment for unity
among the broad silk workers of Pat
erson expressed in the united sup
port OF the various crafts for the shop
committees, the elections Of National
Textile Workers Union members as
shop chairman in United Textile
Workers shops, ETC., already fore
shadow the new struggles ahead in
