Stamford Party Units Now Function as an International Branch STAMFORD, Conn., March 14.—-The English, Jewish and Ukrainian branches of the Workers (Communist) Party reorganized into an internation- al branch. In this they were ably as- sisted by G. S. Shklar, sub-district or- ganizer of District No. 2. This meeting, which was a very enthusiastic one, arranged for system- atized activity within the unions thru party fractions, and a tag day for the Passaic strikers was organized, Class in Trade Union Tactics Meets Tonight The class in Trade Union Tactics which met on Thursday ‘evening has been changed to Monday evening at 8 p.m. The class will be conducted by, Arne Swabeck.

BENJAMIN, The last meeting of International Branch No. 2, Sub-Section 8 A. New York City, is proof of the value of the reorganization for our party. It dem- onstrates that a nucleus can do valu- able work for the party. The small size of the nucleus—18—enables each member to get into more intimate con- tact with the work and problems of the various comrades, it makes for greater participation and activity of all the comrades, as compared. with leading five or ten in the old large-| zed branches; and leads to empha- is on concrete work to be done, rather than oratory and the passing of numerous meaningless motions so characteristic of the old branches, After the meeting was called to or- ler and the attendance taken the branch got down to work immediately, Four dollars and ten cents worth of literature was sold to the comrades, including Paris Commune albums, copies of the A. B. C. of Communism, and pamphlets on Lenin and the Trade Union Movement,.by Losovsky, and Party Reorganization by Jay Lovestone. It was then decided to buy 1,000 leaflets on the Protection of the |Foreign-Born. Each comrade was al- loted 5 tickets for a section affair ar- ranged to raise funds to maintain the section headquarters. Report on Activity. Then came the vi part of the meeting. Each comrade must report on work accomplished during the past week, after which follows assignment jof tasks for the coming week, on which the comrade must report at the following meeting. All the tasks as- signed ape recorded in the minutes fixing résponsibility for definite tasks, The first comrade reported his ac- tivity in the Workmen’s Circle branch he belongs to. He is a mem- ber of the executive committee of the branch. He and the only other com- rade in that particular branch saw to it that the branch endorsed The DAILY WORKER, the Freiheit, and sent two delegates to the conference for the. protection of the foreign-born, He attended his union meeting. Thru questions by other comrades, it was disclosed that there is not a fraction in his locality or the district council of his union. As a result, the branch decided to notify the district indus- trial organizer of this situation so that he might see wthether a fraction could be formed there. This comrade was assigned the following tasks; to bring before his union local the ‘mat- ter of supporting the Passaic strike with funds, and the matter of sending a delegate to the conference for the protection of the foreign-born. At the next meeting the comrade will be asked whether he has carried out these tasks, and with what suc- cess; so that asignments should not merely be a matter of “New Year's Resolutions.” He was given leaflets advertising the Bronx Workers’ Forum and leaflets for the Women's Day Meeting, and was told to distrib- ute them at the next meeting of his Workmen's Circle Branch, and of his union, At the next meeting, this com- rade will have to report on whether he put these leaflets away safely in some closet at home, or distributed them as assigned, This comrade was also asigned 4o go to the meeting of the new Jewish language club, “The Arbeiter Club” recently organized in this, section, to join it and become ac- tive in the fraction there, “Mass Psychology and the Psychology of Revolution.

STREET NUCLEUS IN NEW YORK SHOWS HOW TO DO PARTY WORK Housewives Aid Work. Another comrade reported. She is a housewife. That week, she was re- sponsible for a women’s organization to.which she belongs, sending a dele- gate to the conference for the protec- tion of foreign-born. She reported also that her husband saw to it that his fraternal organization also sent a delegate. Two friends of hers were induced by her to introduce the same matter in different social organiza- tions where they belong, and as a re- sult two more organizations sent dele- gates. This comrade was assigned to join the Arbeiter Club and promised to get some friends to join. She will also distribute forum leaflets and Wo- men’s Day leaflets at the meeting of that club. Comrade No. 3 reported, tho not eligible to a union, she is active in her Workmen's Circle Branch and in the Parents’ organization of the Workmen's Circle School. assigned to help advertise the forum and distribute leaflets in those places, and also in the apartment houses on the street she lives on. This comrade has only been in the party a few months. At this meeting she was in- structed -to subscribe to The DAILY WORKER, and to join the Working Class Women’s Coun?il in her neigh- borhood, Instructed ,to attend the Forum and bring friends. Comrade No. 4 reported that he taught two classes during the week (Party Training Course and Young Workers League Training Course). He also reported on his work in his union. He had brot 10 non-party teachers to a progressive club of teachers and students in which his fraction was functioning, He then re- ported on his work as sub-section or- ganizer. During the week he deliv- ered a lecture before a social and lit- erary club of 125 young people in this section. Joi® Mass Organization, And so the reports went on, every comrade reporting. 'No task is too small or too unimportant to take up, whether it be putting up of signs ad- vertising the Forum meetings in stores in the neighborhood or whether it is pushing a campaign of the party in the unions and other mass organ- izations, Every member eligible to join a union, is instructed to join; if not eligible to a union, he is asked to join a fraternal organization, or some other mass organization, PITTSBURGH, March 14—One of the most important steps taken by the Workers (Communist) Party School in this district will be the addition of an English class, the first session to meet Tuesday, March 23, at the party of- fice, 805 James street, N.

Organisations affiliated with the National Education Association ate behind the drive for its passage. The Ku Klux Klan is backing the propo- sition as an entering wage in its struggle against Catholic denomina- tional schools. The Scottish Rite Ma- sons of the South are agitating for its approval, tho the order’s northern jurisdiction has taken no stand. Two Groups Oppose. The opposition. comes principally from two groups. One, the Catholic Church, and to a lesser extent the Lutheran Church, fear that it is a first step towards the outlawing of their parochial institutions, The séc- ond source of opposition is a growing group of senators and representatives who hold that a stop must be put to the encroachments of the central gov- ernment upon the functions of the state, *, Reactionary Warns of Menace. Wadsworth, one of the ultra-reac- tionary republican senators, voices this view in an article in the March number of the Nation’s Business, the official organ of the United States Chamber of Commerce. He concludes his review of the increasing tendency for centralization with this warning: “If we continue this centralization of power and this assumption of govern- mental functions we shall certainly smother the ability of our people to govern themselves in the several states and in their home communi- ties.” The “ability of the people” for self-government to which the senator so feelingly refers means in his mind their willingness to be ruled by men like himself who represent the great corporate interests.

HIS SUB-SECTION: “MEETING DURING THIS WEEK NEW YORK, March 14.—A speaker will appear before every sub-section eld this week, to take up the question of joining the Republican Catholic Congressman Peeved Over Sheffield Note WASHINGTON, March 14.—Repre- sentative John J. Boylan, catholic re- publican congressman from New York, is peeved because ambassador Sheffield’s note to Mexico protesting against the expulsion of American religious teachers from that republic was not strong enuf. Boylan hay not yet volunteered to enlist inthe army of intervention and is reputed unwilling. to take any chances of injury to his own hide from Mexican bullets or bayoneta, Willing to Have Debs’ Vote Restored to Him (Special to The Daily Worker) WASHINGTON, D.C., March 14.— Representative Berger, of Wisconsin held a conference yesterday with the President upon the subject of the re citizenship rights to Eugene V. Debs, in accordance with the bill he has in- troduced, These rights were lost thru Deb's conviction for violating th¢ Espionage act. Berger reported that Coolidge look- ed with favor on the proposition. Compensation Bill | Is Again Delayed WASHINGTON.(FP).—Reps, Blan- ton and Underhill again delayed ac- tion on the Fitzgerald workmen's compensation bill for the District, of Columbia, when Keller of Minnesota reported that measure from his sub- committee to the house committee on the District of Columbia. They talked against time, and the bill went over for at least one more week, Maple Co-operators Denounce Fascisti ¥ ( 1 to The Dally Worker) — MAPLE, Wis., March 14—~The Ma- ple Farmers Co-operative Association at its annual membership meeting passed a resolution denouncing the fascist dictatorship and joining re- quest to the International Co-operative Alliance for a world conference to formulate measures to fight the spread wren) a WITH THE Y CONDUCTED - BY TH WORKERS ING WORKERS LEAGUE ABOUT THE SELF-CRITICISM OF OUR EDITOR We must say right here at the be- gining that our editor went too far in his self-criticism. The last issue of the Young Worker was a pretty good issue. It is true that the proportion of the various ma- terial is not-always correct and it. is true that in the last issué there was not enuf political material, League ma- terial (such as the work of the section committees, nuclei,’ fractions, about the concrete demands and so on), Ne- gro work, colonial, and so on. But the fact is this that the paper is con- tinually improving and more and more trying to become an organ of the yong workers, an organ of the organized Communist youth. Now there are in the paper less phrases, noise and exaggerations, more real fighting spirit, more contents, more contact with the masses, more collective character in the paper. It is clear that the’ paper must go forth ‘n further improyements, in further attempts to become the mass organ- izer, propagandizer and agitator of the working youth. It is interesting to say here that our paper proves the correct policy of the C, E. C., namely persistently attempting to develop comrades, to develop a collective psy- chology and methods in the work. This is important when we are speak- ing about the development of the American comrades, especially from the basic industries, and the necessity of converting our foreign-born league into a real American league. ‘E have achieved some results in this, at- least in the sense that many comrades are beginning to un- derstand this and trying consciously to support this line. We speak also about the development of party con- ception among our members, which can be achieved when: (a) We pursue the correct political line; (b) we conduct real mass work based on the correct application of Communist principles and tactics; (c) by political education, by studying the experiences of the international Com- munist movement and our own; (d) by the development of the sense of sacrifice and responsibility in our ranks; (e) by correct methods of helping those comrades who must be developed; (f) by developing a cor- rect approach to ¢riticism and self criticism; (g) by Creating’ a strong league apparatus and so on. We must say, right here that it is not an easy task; we have not strong party traditions; we have various op- portunistic influences from the part of the labor movement and sometimes in- fluences of bourgeois culture and ideology. Yes, it is not all, but what is said is enuf to stress that the league has very difficult and big tasks. The question of organizing the work in a collective manner is very important, especially now. Among the bourgeoisie and the petty bourgeoisie, the idea of strong individuals is wide- spread and much developed. This is purely a bourgeois idea and reflects the economic structure and principles of capitalism. We are against such bourgeois ideas, We will also fight for the correct understanding of the masses and of the relativeship be- tween individuals and the masses, A dtead we speak about strong com- rades, or leading Communists, we speak not only about their organiza- tional, literary and other capabilities, but we consider primarily: their ‘cor- rect political understanding, based on Exchange of Experiences of Concentration Groups and Shop Nuclei AY, the first. meeting of Concentra- tion Group ©, Section 3 of thé New York League an- organizer, lit- orature agent and secretary were elected. * All the comrades then gave reports on the conditions in their shops. Comrade C pointed out that about 150 vorkers are employed in her shop, of whom, the majority are piece work- ors. They are as yet unorganized. She expects to bring two new mem- bers into the Y, W. L. ‘The other members preset reported along simi- lar jines, stating that in their shop the workers are likewise unorganized, and that a need for organization ex- ists, It was suggested that. leaflets be printed and distributed in the vari- ous shops in which the comrades of this group are employed. Four com- rades were present at this meeting. At the second meeting five com- rades were present. Comrade M., re- ported that he will conduct a class in @ literay club in which he is amem- ber. “Another comrade had lectured there before, at which 50 young work- ers were present, Comrade §. is active in the. organ- izational campaign ofthe Dressmak- ers’ Union and her shop is now organ- ized, . Comrade G, reported that she is ac+ tive in the UmbrelMa Makers’ Union, She sold quite a few tickets for the Liebknecht meeting in the seminary which she attends. The Communist n in the school is fighting to e School closed on “Lenin Me- Day ” ® ie Marxist-Bolshevik principles, their sacrifice for the movement arid their sense of responsibility, their contact with the working masses, their under- standing of the working masses, (and this does not necessarily make it im- perative that they be workers them- selves), their experiences in the work, (organizational, mass work and 80 on) their record in the past, proof of their activity and. willingness/to fight for the interests of the proletariat, proof thru action and not only thru words, who work and not only talk, who show their willingness to cor- rect their mistakes and help others to develop, in a comradely, collective manner and spirit. Comrades who think seriously ofall these matters, 4nd who do not change their principle positions every five minutes (that doesn't of course mean that we do not welcome eyery comrade who changes his position to a correct one) who will not put their ego above all, who will not try to dominate other comrades and will not make comrades who are not as much developed feel that they are of a secondary rate, make them feel that they are stupid, who will at all times put the interests of the revo- lutionary struggle of the proletariat above all personal interests, and who will go from principle positions to or- ganizational questions and not support organizational matters first and on them base principle positions. ™ These are very serious questions and must be considered in a serious light by everybody, In this sense, the article of Comrade Kaplan of self-criticism is a good sign. In the history of the league, so far as we know, it is the first attempt of such nature, and this is alright. We must learn to hear criticism, (not only in a factional fight and in a fac- tional manner) but in a spirit of be- ing willing to correct what is incor- rect, and not to take away criticism as Personal insults and attacks, learn to criticize ourselves in a serious man- ner and teach others on the expert ences of our own mistakes, Serbia comrades speak about their mistakes in such a light man- ner that you feel that their “self- criticism” is only formality. Self- criticism plus a sense of responsibil- ity, when we will put into word real contents,—this is important, One remark more: Some comrades go far in accepting the idea of “weak~ elements” that sometimes they, in- stead of attempting to develop their initiative, will, (and even self re- Spect), energy, and so on begin to speak about the necessity of “moral” support. Moral and other kinds of. Support will give our organization col- lectivity.” “Moral” support of “strong” individuals must be con- demned—because we must not only fight with the petty bourgeoisie indi- vidual tendencies from the side of “strong” elements, but at the same time give strong resistance to the tendencies of unbelief in one’s own forces, a lack of confidence in oneself, etc. We have faith in those elements and we must develop them in the league. Every league member must be an active member. Activise every Y. W. L. comrade, js-our slogan! —B. Why Not Become a Worker Correspondent?
