PARTY PRE-CONVENTION DISCUSSION SECTIO By BEN GERJOY. A convention of the Workers (Communist) Party, or any of its| sections, is no small event. Especi- ally is this true about the convention of the Pittsburgh District held Jan. 20. This convention was the climax of a long preconvention period last- ing almost three months. It was a very heated discussion period, per- haps more so than any previous “Right” danger as the main danger and Trotksyism (opportunism cover- ed with eft” phrases), and the method of combatting both, occupied most cf the attention during the discussion, It should be remembered that Dis- trict Five takes in an area of many S- cussion period, for the issues dis- cussed were of vital importance to the life and future growth of our Party.

This was amply demon-: strated by the many resolutions jwhich the mining and steel units adopted pledging their support to | the C.

Quite the contrary is the case, as we will see in a moment. What is the real situation in the mining industry? The operators are mad with power. Wage cut proceeds after wage cut.

It is with this in view that we can state that in this district the discussion period accom- plished its desired aim, composition, its This discussion period, being a pre- @onvention discussion for the entire Party naturally centered around na- tional and international rather than district problems. In addition the economic conditions affecting the Party and the workers of this dis- trict received a great deal of atten- tion, especially at the convention proper. The question of a correct analysis of American imperialism, whether American capitalism is still on the upward trend; extent of radi- calization; the question of the right to reservations (disagreements) from Comintern miles and units exist in no less than delegates to the district convention 85 towns outside of Pittsburgh, It were being elected.

On the other hand, these same conditions constantly increase the dissatisfac- tion. The miners are slowly but steadily turning their faces, in ever larger numbers, to the revolutionary union. The miserable conditions, which grow worse from day to day, and the fact that more and more miners are being replaced by machines, rap- idly create the necessary conditions when the miners will once again rise in terrific struggle against the op- erat Are these conditions enough of a reason for the existence and growth of the National Miners’ Union?

This was done from the point of view of the war danger, which requires an orientation of the district towards those industries which will play the biggest role in the coming war. The mining, steel and chemical industries are to receive the most attention, and the building of the National Miners’ Union to be the foreground. The district be mobilized to Union; the cam- paign in the steel mills to build mill committees must be intensified; a base in the chemical industry must be established; the number of shop nuclei must be increased and im- proved; the shop papers must be in- creased and improved; the drawing in of proletarian elements into the membership m a leading Party committees, etc., ete.| —all these were included in the plans for future work, Some of the resolutions adopted were as follow resolution on the report of DE! resolution on the building of new) convention must convince him to the | hership, What did the Opposition do at the | 1" ener agin Opposition demanded reprerentation| W2® endorsed 90 per con one would assume that they had| 4 The charge that the Majortey something to cont te in helping of | the C.E.C. is the source of the right” danger was repudiated. 5.
