We have found that organized the shop
exert irresistible economic by the organzaonal
setup Citizens organized where they reside exert equally
irresistible political The two types organization
hand hand and although similar structure they
organized separately and work separate entities Each of
these types of organizations assist another but
accept full responsibility field.
We found that of these organizations
unit On the economic field the shop it's the department
On the political field the neghborhood it's precinct
In either this basic unit leadership within itself
which the really leadership
the whole organization In the shop it's the shop steward
the precinct, it's the precinct leader.
Further following the similarity of organzaona structure,
have the economic field the shop local union
and the political field the ward township organization.
Here again the leadership extremely important In the shop
it's the executive committee in the ward township it's the
ward chairman and executive committee precinct leaders
To follow further step effective organza
on the field the local leadership
political field it's the county central committee neglect
any of these in either organization
useless and organization comes tumbng down.
The most important STEP however the unit of shop
department in leadership the other
Without this basic unit the organization would exist
because organization be built from the top down It's
just against natural law try to build house by putting the
roof on first 1t just amt natural
1t my sincere hope that can continue perfect
political organization that gain of
this and progressively in coming
years say this not because am candidate and therefore
of the central figures in this election but rather
and can both the trend which would take from
economic front.
Those of who remember back pre-union
in the factories have desire days all
their attendant evils which able wipe out by
of economic organization We don't propose

that will join with in forming kind political organ
zaon that will by its very power that it will be
impossible TO push us back to the evil days
We would like to ask all of you become active in your
precinct organization Those who have signed the primary
poll cards that circulated through the shops will be
