The failure of our International to undertake ade- quate organizati work to bring this influx of workers into its folds and raise their standards to the level of the organized millinery workers in New York who in the past have sup- plied almost the entire market, has | brot about a condition workers of New York are faced with ganized centers. Ever More Serious. “The situation in the cap trade i even more serious. facturers are gradually giving up manufacturing and becoming jobbers. The trade in the organized centers is open shop centers, such as New Jer- sey, etc. On the other hand, in these open shops centers, because of the cheap labor supply, jobbers are be- ginning to manufacture on a large seale. This condition is resulting in where the} | St. New York. the intensive competition from unor- | . Large cap manu- | | competition against the New York} {market. The jobbers, who are be- | coming an ever more important fac- tor in the industry, are thus increas- ‘ing their profits. and at the same! time shirking all responsibility for the conditions of the workers. The development of the jobbing-contract- ing system, the spreading of the mil- linery industry, the organization of the unorganized, retaining of union conditions and the struggle for fur- ther ‘improvements—all these are problems that are of vital concern to the cap and millinery workers. In ; fact, they are typical problems of all the needle trades. Large manu- facturing concerns are now producing furs, garments, and headgear as well as general women’s apparel. Jobbing, contracting and splitting up of the industry into smaller production units are typical in every branch of the needle trades,” SACCO |For children 25 being transferred into the hands of | if | small contractors and to out-of-town, | PARTY ACTIVITIES NEW YORK-NEW JERSEY A.

Building the Party. | The process which we name the Americanization of our Party has be- come recognized as one of our main problems. That is, to orientate our Party upon the realities of the class {struggle and adjust our tactics and }methods to the conditions presented by these realities. The first step should be to turn our attention much ;more toward the problems of the | American workers and much more to jthe workers in the shops. Also to draw all of our members into the main | stream of the labor movement such as trade unions. This will increase and strengthen our contacts and attract the American born workers to our Party. Since the war a certain degree of leveling process has taken place in the country, immigration has been considerably curtailed and the most decisive section within the language colonies have become the young ele- ments born in this country of foreign parentage. The result of which is that the language colonies are brought closer to the questions of the American workers in general and the workingclass as a whole has become | more Americanized, more of one com- | j pact mass. This situation should be | taken advantage of and facilitate the | process of Americanizing the move- ment. | In. previous chapters the need of adapting ourselves to the use of the everyday language of the workers has | | been emphasized. This in itself will naturally become a part of our Amer- | icanization process. Many entirel; |foreign terms should be eliminated from our propaganda vocabulary. Our | language press in particular as well come less foreign in character, which | it must be done properly in its rela- tion toward the concrete problems of | the American workingclass. Our Par- | ty as a whole must then proceed to} | American workingclass |make them our own and incorporate them definitely in the Communist movement, Combine Struggles for Immediate Needs With Ultimate Aims. Our direct approach to the workers naturally goes through the everyday struggles. To establish permanent contact with them and actually win them for oir movement, we must fight equally for questions of a penny an hour incréase in the shops as. for }our ultimate aims. We must create the proper combination so that every ) struggle for partial demands become | part of the struggle leading directly | toward the achievement of our ultim- | ate aims. We must study the char- }acter of workers individually, ap- proach them on their own basis of understanding which we should help to further develop. It is always well | for our comrades to know just what points are the best contacts and then proceed from that point to interest the individual workers. We must ob- serve closely how the masses move and react to the class struggle so that our slogans become both prac- By ARN E {as our language fractions must be- | | means that while taking up all ques-| tions of the international “movement, | appropriate the traditions of the! struggle, | SW. ABEC K. tical, conerete and leading toward the achievements of our ultimate aim, When our Party speaks it must be- come authoritative to the workers, While we may not stacles so much of the cunning social democratic leaders or trade wuhion bureaucrats among the workers in shops, since they are not nume there, we must nevertheless show that we understand practical polities? in a Communistic sense. We must not only shout about the needs of the workers, but give actual help. Re- formist leaders too often win the con- fidence of the workers with their ‘claims of giving prattical help. In applying our campaigns, our slo- gans should be as simple as possible and so coined that they concentrate on the main outstanding issues. They should not be too advanced, and the fewer the better. Our slogans should he definitely connected with the or- ganization measures taken. A further problem of winning the} American section of working” masses, is to find the correct approach: to the Negro workers in the indus- tries, and take up the questions vital-. ly effecting the agricultural workers j and small farmers. While setting forth the immediate? | issues in these various fields of strug- gle, the strictest adherence to prin= \ciple is necessary combined with the | maximum contact. Simplifying Our Tasks. All our methods need simplifica- tion. Our approach to the workers ; must become simplified. Our machin- ery works in a very cumbersome | manner and should operate on a more simplified basis. Too many campaigns: initiated simultaneously create con- ‘fusion. This can be eliminated by concentrating mainly on the outstand- |ing issue at each specific period and |engage mainly in the one campaign corresponding with this issue. Such procedure will help to obtain the max-* imum result of response from our, | members as well as from the work- | ing masses. When engaging In a campaign, the measures should be worked out not, merely for the higher local bodies, but for all the nuclei as well so that our whole machinery gets into motion | from top to bottom. It has now become recognized. in. jour Party that we must pay r more attention to the parliament elections in the country, nationally, state-wide, and local. The workers. di participate in such elections, although not on a class basis and all the ts-: sues of the workingelass are: imtim-, ately bound up with the elections. It! is our duty to put these issues on ‘a class basis and utilize them as approach to the working pete in election campaigns with a view ‘to | constantly developing these issues and, giving them definite content, Party Leadership. } Our Party is the highest form proletarian organization.
