Page Four ® _ Workers (Communist) Party Sienetet onset’ hese’ ceed THE DAILY! WORKER Back to the Party By C. E. RUTHENBERG General Secretary, Workers (Communist) Party. PNCE last October, the Workers (Communist) Party has been reor- ganized. In place of the territorial and foreign language branches which existed previously, there have been created as the basic units of the party, the shop and street nuclei, This reorganization of the party was essential In order that the party establish contact with the workers in the factories who must be won for the Communist movement. The results of the reorganization have already shown themselves in greater activity of the party in rela- tlon to the workers’ struggles in many sections of the country. The party is actually in contact with the workers in the factories and is able to give leadership and support to their everyday fight while at the same time carrying on its campaigns to win the workers for the political strug- gle against the capitalist government. x The street nuclei which have replaced the territorial and language branches are also more effective organizations for the mobilization of the party work. The organization of the foreign language speaking com- rades into language fractions, which function in the fraternal and other organizations of their language group, has intensified the work in the organization, The party Is making its strength more effective thru the reorganiza- tion. In the process of reorganization, however, quite a humber of mem- bers of the party lost contact with the party. They have not affiliated with the shop and street nuclei. These former members of the party joined the party because they supported Communist principles, the desire to participate in the organized struggle of the Communist Party in this country. All the reasons which impelled them to become members of the par- ty exist today. If they were Communists, and the fact that they joined the party showed that they desired to be Communists and work for the Communist movement, their place Is within the ranks of the organized Communist movement, the Workers (Communist) Party. These former members are urged to take Immediate steps to again take thelr places in the reorganized party. Many of them have tem- Porarily lost contact with the party because of conditions arising in the process of reorganization. These former members are urged to Immediately take steps to again take their places in the party. In order to enable them to establish contact with the party, the fol- towing list of the districts’ addresses is published: District No. 1—Bert Miller, 36 Causeway St., Boston, Mass, District No, 2—W. W. Weinstone, 108 E. 14th St., New York, N. Y, Tistrict No. 3—521 York Ave, Philadelphia, Pa, District No. 4—Herbert Benjamin, 213 Williams St., Buffalo, N. Y. D ‘ict No, 5—A. Jakira, 805 James St. N. S., Pittsburgh, Pa. District No, 6—1I Amter, 5927 Euclid Ave, Cleveland, Ohio, District No. 7—R. Baker, 1967 Grand River Ave., Detroit, Mich. District No. 8—Arne Swabeck, 19 S. Lincoin St, Chicago, III, District No. 9—N. H, Tallentire, Box 1524, Minneapolis, Minn, District No. 10—S. J. Clarke, 1017 Washington Ave., Kansas City, Mo. District No 12—A., Fislerman, Box 125, Seattle, Wash. District No, 13—E. Levin, 225 Valencia St., San Francisco, Calif. Sub-District No, 2—G. S. Shklar, 38 Howe St., Room 6, New Haven, Conn, Those former members who desire to again take their places In the organized movement, who are now out of contact with the party, should call at or communicate with the district office and secure assignment to one of the shop or street nuclei of the party. The party is going forward In its work with new vim and vigor. The workers thruout the country are showing signs of engaging In renewed Struggle against the capitalist exploiters and the capitalist system. This makes it necessary for a stronger Communist Party to support and help guide the struggle. Every Communist is needed in the organization of this party. For those members who have dropped away from the party in the reorganization, the slogan is, “Back to the Party!” Help strengthen the party organizationally for the great tasks that are before us! Back to the party and help build the Communist Party, leader of the proletarian revolution! List of Assessment Settlements Grows E units of the party are at last taking heed of the necessity of quick ction in cémpleting the collection of the Special United Labor Ticket Assessment. An increasing number of the nuclei are reporting and remitting the money collected from day to day. x The following nuclei made their report Monday up to noon: Seattle, Wash., Street Nucleus No. 3 Gary, Ind., City Committee ......... 2.50 New York City, Nucleus No. 1 2E . 2.50 Cleveland, Ohio, Street Nucleus 32 ..... 6.00 San Francisco, Calif., Shop Nucleus No. 3 . 4.50 Akron, Ohio, Street Nucleus 201 .. 5.00 St. Paul, Minn., Street Nucleus No, 2 . 50 Brooklyn, N. Y., F. B. S. S 1B... Gary, Ind., Shop Nucleus No, 2 ... Chicago, Ill., Street Nucleus No, 13 Portland, Ore., St. 1 W. S. . Kansas City, Kan., Street Nucleus No. 3 Brooklyn, N. Y., 3rd F, 2. Brooklyn, N. Y., 9B F. 1 Boston, Mass., 2 SS Woodlawn, Pa., Street Nucleus No, 1 Virginia, Pa., Finnish Br, .... f The nuclei which have not yet attended to this matter should immediately take action and swell the returns by sending in their reports, All su ction, section and city committees should make it their busi- ness to make a survey of the units in their territory with the view of secur- ing a settlement for the special assessment stamps without further d jay. “EVERY NUCLEUS MAKE A SETTLEMENT BY AUGUST 11” is the slogan upon which the party units must act. New London Silk Baron Protests Flower are controlled by the same silk manu- facturer. He even had his chief of Police, Captain Pinney, make a kick about it.

There is a grip and force to their work that is inescapable, even tho one does not al- ways agree 100 per cent with their interpretation.” V. F.
