It is necessary in the United States to carry on 8 similar struggle against every form of expres- sion of opportunism, and especially is it neces- sary to struggle in the sharpest manner against the special forms in which pacifism, opportunism and other theoretical allies of fascism present themselves in this country. Broun, by the obviously studied manner in which he emphasizes his “belief” in pacifism and peaceful development toward socialism, placing the question of method always before that of objective, shows himself a conscious enemy of the masses. Not to expose this in the clearest manner when the opportunity presents itself, is to help to create confusion, Comrade Gold answered Broun’s thavaa' that Communists are responsible for fascism in Italy by saying that there was no Communist Party there at the time that Mussolini began the pre- paration for the fascist dictatorship by the plan- ned mass murder of thousands of Italian workers and peasants. The “main question of every re- volution,” said Lenin, “is the question of power.” Capitalist democracy is only ome form of ca- Pitalist dictatorship. The greater the crisis of capitalism faced by the multitudes of workers and colonial peoples, whose elementary wants capitalism does not satisfy any longer, the more rapidly and brutally the bourgeoisie discards the trappings of democracy, the more its dicta~ torship takes on a militant character—armed force. The armed dictatorships do not necessarily follow in detail the Italian model, but always and everywhere the fig leaves of democracy fall one by one and capitalism’s political power— army, navy, police, semi-official bands of gangs- ters—appears nakedly as the last defense of its system, cheered on by social fascists, or led by them. (Noske, Scheideman, etc. saving the capi- talist “republic” by murdering Liebknecht, Lux- emburg and thousands of German workers.) Socialists know this very well. Tt is their his- torical role to conceal this throughout from the working class as far as possible, and thereby disarm the working class, prepare the way for fascist dictatorships and counter-revolution. Any toleration of such views, privately or on the public platform, and especially when the ex- cuse is given that such intellectuals as Broun, their following, and the fringe of radicalized intellectuals who cluster around our Party, and the various auxilliary organizations, must be treated more “gently” than workers, comes un~ der the head of “rotten liberalism” cited by Comrade Stalin in his recent polemic directed against such tendencies in the Communist Party of the Soviet Union, and there, too, arising ‘among the intellectual elements. ‘The struggle for clarity in revolutionary theory and practice by our Party and the Communist International, did not end in Europe with the desertion of the revolution by the social democ- racy, and the rise of the Communist Internation- al as the leader of the revolutionary working class. Neither did the struggle end in the United states with the desertion of the revolution by the Hillquits, Lees, Oneals and the recruiting of Thomas, te social fascism, and organization From the reports we notice that the land is too narrow. This must be overcome immediately. recruiting drive in Detroit and Cleve The drive assumes primarily an inner organizational aspect.

Cleveland reports that 7 new members were recruited from large shops as basis for shop nuclei. Detroit reports that $3 Ford workers have been recruited.

Wrong Tendencies in the Ranks of the American Intellectuals and growth of the Communist Party. The Communist Party is the most conscious section of the working class, but nevertheless the currents and cross currents, the various trends and tendencies in bourgeois society, are reflected within it. In the struggle against these tendencies the Party is strenghtened. It is es- pecially some intellectual elements who have joined our Party, and among those who are close to the Party, who suffer most from these in- fluences. It would be well if some of them would study Marx and Lenin a little more, and what they term “cultural literature,” perhaps a little more ... Writing of the shortcomings of intel- Jectuals in the period of the youth of Com- munist Parties, Paul LaFargue said: “These intellectuals who have spent their youth in the university: that they might become experts on exercise, polishers of phrases, philosophers or doctors, imagine one can improvise himself in- to a master of the socialist theory by attending a single lecture or by the careless reading of a single pamphlet. Naturalists who have felt the need of painful research to learn the habits of mollusks or of the polyps who live in a com- munity on the coral banks, think that they know enough to regulate human societies, and that by keeping their stand on the first steps of the ascending ladder of animal life they can the better discern the ‘human ideal. The philisophers, the moralists, the historians and the politicians have aims equally lofty; they bring an abundant supply of ideas and a new method of action to replace the imperfect theory and tactics which in all capitalist countries have served to build up socialist parties strong in numbers, unity and discipline.” By more study of the Marxist-Leninist classics, by identifying themselves more closely with the American proletariat and its struggles, those intellectuals who are new members of our Party, or are close supporters of our Party and of the Soviet Union, will be able to draw a sharp line between themselves and enemies of the workers like Broun; they will be able to assist our Party and the working class in a most decisive way, by aiding in the exposure of the anti-working class role of such intellectuals as Broun before the whole working class. They will thereby make it impossible for any militant worker to confuse them as Communists with the Brouns, Lees, ‘Thomas and Claessens, who in describing, La~ Fargue described also their role and tactics in | the present period: “The intellectuals propose to modify the tactics as well as the theories of the socialist party; they wish to impose upon it a new method of action. It must no longer strive te conquer the public powers by a great struggle, legal or revolutionary as need may be, but let itself be conquered by every ministry of a republican coalition; it is no longer to oppose the socialist party to all the bourgeois parties; what is needed is to put it at the service of the liberal party; we must no longer organize it for the class struggle, but keep it ready for all the compromises of politicians. And to fur- ther the triumph of the new method of action, they propose to disorganize the socialist party, to break up its old system and to demolish the organizations which for 20 years have labored to give the workers a sense of their class in- terests and to group them in a party of eco- nomic ané political struggle.” Lenin, writing on the same issue, called’ ate tention to the statements by Engels in connec- tion with this question. “Let us refer to the remarks made by Engels in 1874 on the question of the significance of theory in the social-de- mocratic movement. Engels recognizes not twe forms of the great struggle of social democracy (political and economic), as is usual among us, but three, adding to the first two that of the theoretical struggle also.” The statement of En- gels referred to by Lenin and which he quotes at length, is made in the introduction to “The Peasant War in Germany” and contains the following, in reference to the struggles of the German masses: “For the first time in the history of the labor movement the struggle is being so conducted that its three sides, the theoretical, the pol- itical and the practical economic (opposition te the capitalists), form one harmonious and well-planned entitty.” More responsibility to the masses, closer con- nection with the revolutionary party of the American proletariat, more study of the nature and character of the enemies of the American working class, more careful listing of their names and addresses and a better direction of all mail to them, sharper and clearer analysis and ex= posure of social fnscism and social fascists, better organized and more militant ‘struggle against them, are needed to correct the weak~ nesses and shortcomings in the ranks of those revolutionary intellectuals who are closest to our Party. { HOW TO PREPARE AND SUCCESSFULLY LEAD THE N. Y. DRESSMAKERS’ STRIKE® directives given below for the preparation and successful conduct of the coming dress- rs’ strike should be read and studied by worl but, particularly at the present time, the dressmakers, in order that the members eedle Trades Workers’ Industrial Union United Front Committee may prepare properly for the coming struggle, 1. The single dress shop strikes which are to be spread and developed into a mass strike in the dress industry are directed towards the mob- jlization of the dressmakers for energetic and militant resistance to the systematic wage-cuts, lengthening of hours and general worsening of conditions, carried on by the bosses in conjunc- tion with the strike-breaking burocracy of the International Ladies’ Garment Workers’ Union and the Lovestone-Zimmerman group. 1 2. Along with these shop strikes we also aim to develop the struggle for the right to strike, organize and picket against the boss rule of ter- ror, against the use of gangsterism, police and injunctions as weapons against the workers. 3. The slogans of state social insurance for the unemployed, equal to full wages at the expense of the government and the employers, and of immediate relief to the unemployed, are not only demands of the unemployed in the dress industry, but are the demands of all those par- ticipating in the strike and of all workers en- gaged in the dress industry, irrespective of their Political views or trade union affiliations. ‘The dress strike will be successful only if the dressmakers, irrespective of their political opin- ions or trade union affiliations, jointly enter the struggle and fight side by side. The active par- ticipation of the unorganized working in open shops is of basic need for a successful struggle. Special attention must be paid to the problem of drawing into the general struggle the Negro workers working in their respective shops. In addition to the general demands there must be special demands for Negroes. It is equally im- portant to draw into the strike the new ele- ments who have never before participated in strike movements, such as the young American girls, Italians and Spanish workers. THE UNITED FRONT BASED ON THE SHOP. 4, One of the prerequisites for a successful strike is careful and planned preparation in the shops on the basis of a united front of all work- ers, This, however, is not enough. It is im- portant that the conduct and leadership of the strike should be in the hands of the strikers themselves, who are to elect from their midst all the necessary committees for militant strike preparations prior to the strike and the elec- tions of the proper strike committees by all workers, organized and unorganized, members of the Industrial Union, as well as those belonging to the LL.G.W.U., after the strike is declared. 5. In order to be properly prepared for the conduct of single shop strikes, as well as the entire industry, it is necessary to call general meetings of all workers working in the shops which are to be struck. At these meetings the discussions should be centered around the aims of the strike, the concrete demands that are to be presented on the basis of the particular situa- n in each shop, as well as around questions of an organizational character, such as the crea- tion of special committees for the preparations of the strike, whose functions, among others, is the organization of relief work, the activiza- tion of all strikers in general, and of each in- dividual in particular, the distribution among them of the various tasks that are essential for the proper preparation of the coming strike. Simultaneously, special district meetings should be called, as well as huge mass meetings, in- volving all the strikers in New York. It is par- ticularly important to draw in the unemployed in these meetings. 6. It is absolutely essential that neither the cen- tral committee nor the special shop committee in charge of the preparations for the strike is appointed from above, but is elected by all the workers, irrespective of their political or trade union affiliations, who are employed in their respective shops or who have participated in the United Front conferences, The aim is to co- ordinate the struggles and activities of the work- ers in individual shops with those of the central body in charge of the preparations for the strike. More than that, the demands must finally be adopted only after a thorough and exhaustive discussion by the workers, On the basis of the accepted program of demands, we must then proceed with the election of the leading organs or committees for the prepara- tion of the strike. THE FORMULATION OF DEMANDS. 7. In our program of demands, the central points must be put in the forefront and become the axis around which the entire strike is to re- yolve. Representatives of the unemployed must be included on all leading strike committees and they must be drawn into active participation in the conduct of the strike, and particularly in the mass picketing demonstrations. Through this unity of the employed with the unemployed, the attempt of the bosses to enlist the unem- ployed for mass strikebreaking will be success- fully paralyzed. COMPOSITION OF THE 8, Candidates for the General Strike Com- mittee are to be selected by the Shop Prepara- tion Committees, the number to be increased by adding the most active and trustworthy workers, if such *motion is made by the participants in the meeting. Every worker, irrespective of which union he belongs to, is eligible to be elected to the General Strike Committee. But only those workers are to be elected as are ready and de- \termined unresitatingly to defend the interests of the strikers. Care must be taken that the In addition to the general program of de- mands, concrete demands must be worked out by the workers of each shop separately on ythe basis of the particular situation, The demands must include the various crafts and categories and particularly the Negro workers. These de- mands must not be brought down from the top ready made. The proposals made by the United Front Committee in charge of preparations must be submitted to a thorough discussion of the workers, The maximum attention must be made to proposals brought in by the workers at the meeting. STRIKE COMMITTEES. bosses’ agents, whose aim is to bring about the disintegration of the leadership and to break up the strike from within, through spreading false rumors, creating panic and distrust in our own forces, are not permitted to sneak into the Central Strike Committee. The Central Strike Committee must elect an Executive, collective leadership and personal re~ sponsibility from the outset must be established. as & prerequisite for proper functioning, Oare-" ful attention to detafls must be paid. AUXILIARY COMMITTEES. 9. For the snccessful carrying ont of all the rovecsary workin. the strike -preparetion com- mittees, and following the declaration of the strike, the general strike committee must or- ganize the following auxiliary committees: Or- ganization, Trade Union Committee, Picketing and Defense, Legal Defense, Women's, Negro, Italian, Spanish, Youth and Relief, Agitation and Education, ‘The functions of these committees are as follows: -1.: Agication and Education Committees—Agitprop brigades, arranges lec- tures, reports, concerts, movies and sport at- tractions for the strikers. It organizes short- time courses for the preparation of instructors and members of the strike committees, etc. It must compare the conditions of the workers with DIRECTIVES ISSUED BY N ATIONAL BURO, NEEDLE TRADES WORKERS’ INDUSTRIAL UNION. those of the capitalist, expose the sham poverty ) of tthe bosses, etc. 2. The Organization Com- mittee carries through a registration of all the strikers, draws in the unemployed, the workers’ wives, as well as workers of other industries, into the work of the General Strike Committee, in a co-operative capacity. The Organization Committee calls meetings of the: strikers, or- ganizes demonstrations, picketing, etc. 3. The Trade Union Committee carries on a mass cam- paign to recruit new members into the Indus- trial Union or seeks to get new recruits for the revolutionary trade union opposition from the ranks of those who are members of the reform- ist unions. 4. The Defense and Picketing Com- mittee guards the meetings of the strikers and demonstrations, and is to protect speakers and strike leaders from possible attacks by gang- sters or the police. The Defense Committee has also the tasks of organizing the mass picketings. 5. The Legal Defense Committee must co-oper- ate with the Workers’ Defense Organization. 6. The Negro, Italian, Spanish, Youth, Women and Children’s Committees are to carry through WHAT TO DO ON THE 12. On the day set for the calling of the | strike, the Central United Front Preparation Committee and the Shop Preparation Commit- tees are to call shop meetings which are to be attended by all workers, irrespective of their Political and trade union affiliations, religious beliefs, men and women, Negro and white, young and adult, for the purpose of electing Shop Strike Committees to take the place of the strike preparation committees. 13. At the conclusion of these meetings it is advisable to carry through demonstrations with placards bearing the central slogans of the strike, for the purpose of securing the attention of the working-class populace and enlisting their sym- pathy and support of the strike. Similar dem- onstrations are to be carried through near shops, mass work among theif respective categories of workers, are to organize their mass participation in the conduct of the strike, carry through mass agitation work in conjunction with the Agitprop Committee and help all other committees by drawing the women, Negroes, Italians, Spanish and young workers into their work. 7. The Re- lief and Solidarity Committee arranges jointly with the organizations for Workers’ Relief the collection of financial help towards the general strike fund, organizes the collection of food- stuffs, opens kitchens for strikers who are in need, as well as the unemployed, who are most active, 10. The success of single shop strikes prior to the declaration of the mass strike may give a decisive push to the more backward and vacil- lating workers of other shops. 11. Final decisions pertaining to the demands and tactics of the strike, as well as the date of declaring it, must be approved at general meet- ings and at conferences of the shop delegates elected on the basis of the United Front, who are to participate in the strike. DAY OF THE STRIKE. calling upon the workers to down tools and join the strike. This will serve as a means of spread- ing the strike and of developing the fighting mood of the masses. 14. The Shop Strike Committees are to be united into block, section or district strike com- mittees, for the purpose of coordinating the strike activities. It is the task of these com- mittees to supervise the activities of the lower strike organs to give them practical help, to in- form the higher organs about the state of the strike and to receive instructions. The General Strike Committee, block or section strike com- mittees must elect out of their midst a buro. The buro is to consist of a chairman, secretary and representatives of the various auxiliary com- mittees. REGISTRATION OF THE STRIKERS. 15. Under no circumstances must all the ac- tivities in connection with the strike be left in the hands of the General Strike Committee. The full participation of all the strikers in all the activities must be secured. For this purpose the strike committees must at the outset carry through a full registration of all the strikers. ‘The strikers must be drawn into the daily work of the Strike Committees, such as mass picket- ing, calling mass meetings, arranging mass dem- onstrations, distribution of strike relief, struggles against gangsterism, protection of mass TPennee, and demonstrations, etc. 16.. The development of single. shop strikes through concentration on large shops at, first, involving gradually more and more such shops, will convert the strike into a real militant mass strike. 17, The successful conduct of the strike in- cludes the activization and the solidification of the strikers’ ranks. It is, therefore, necessary to give systematic information about the strike mc-ement to the workers of other shgps work- ing for the same firm, whether in the same city ov out of town. For this purpose it is neces-, sary to explain to these workers the purpose of the strike, the demands of the’ strikers, and ap- peal to them to refuse to do strike-breaking work for the shops involved in the strike, as well as call upon them for moral and financial assistance. At such meetings special solidarity committees are to be elected, MASS PICKETING. 18. In order to completely paralyze produc- tion on the premises, to prevent the possible use of the employers of strikebreakers or the send- ing out of goods and raw materials to be made up in different shops in this or other cities that are not affected by the strike—MASS picketing is absolutely essential. The wives and children of the strikers must be drawn into mass picket- ing. It is especially important to carry through the joint participation of white and Negro work- ews in this picketing as well as those of new elements that were recently absorbed into the dress industry, such as the American born, Ital- ians, Spanish, who have had no previous ex- perience in the class struggle. 19, At the time of distributing the strikers for picket duty, it is necessary to explain to the workers the cases of individual workers or de- partments that are vacillating or are under the influence of the boss or his agents. In such cases class-conscious workers must be assigned to exert upon them moral persuasion and visit the homes of the absentees in an effort to draw them into active work. INFORMATION SERVICE. 20. The success of the struggle depends to a great extent upon whether the strike leadersnip fully realizes its tasks, is able to unfold the mass activity and initiative of the sirikers, and is able on time to react to every developing situa- tion in connection with the strike. The de-_ cisions of the strike committee must, therefore, be brought down'to the rank and file and be- come the property of fhe: workers. A full ae count of the strike committees’ ectivities must be regularly submitted to the strikers and a check-up es to the extent to which dozisions are carried through must,be practiced during the strike, The General Strike Committee must is- sue a special Informatoin Bulletin at least once @ week dealing with the progress of the strike, pointing out the weak points and shortcomings in the conduct of the strike, answering questions that occupy the minds of the workers, informing them about the moves of the bosses and the strike-breaking leadership of the reformist company unions, directed towards the breaking In order that the decisions of the General Strike Committee may without delay reach the widest possible masses, special instructors from among the more active and class-conscious work- ers are to be sent to help out in the weaker sections or districts. 21. In case of any serious change in the situ- ation, due to the maneuvers or strike-breaking of the reformist union or the state power, where changes or additions in the demands are made 23. Simultaneously with the work of raising funds and handing out relief to those in need, special workers’ delegations must demand of the ‘City government material help for the strikers, such as free food for children, free gas and elec- 24, Strike Committees, organized on the basis of the United Front, must not refrain from criticizing the strike-breaking activities of the company union’s leadership and their allies, Zimmerman & Co, At meetings and in resolu- tions, the treachery of the latter must be un- masked. Only in this manner will the weaker, vacillating elements be definitely won over and become adherents of the class struggle. Those workers, members of the relormist unions, who through actual experience have convinced them- selves about the strikebreaking activities of their leaders, must publicly declare it at mass meetings and in statements in the workers’ press, as a result of which these traitors can be com- pletely exposed. 25. The strike presents the best possibilities to completely expose on the basis of concrete facts the treacherous role of the corrupt bureau- cracy cf the reformist unions, for the develop- formist influence. Mass agitation and propa- fanda and close contact between the workers of different political opinions and trade union af- filiations are an aid toward closer unity and for raising the level of their class-consciousness. ‘With extreme patience it is necessary to explain to the workers that the wage slashing campaign in the dress industry is but part of the general attack by the capitalists upon the living stand- ards of the working class of the United States 27, The members of the Industrial Union must be the driving force inside the United Front Strike Committee (shop strike committees and Central Strike Committee). They must show an example of activity and militancy. They must be in the first ranks on the picket lines. ‘They must be able to find a common language with the members of the other unions and with the uro>ganized workers. They must in practice by their sctivities convince those workers of the militancy and correctness of the line of the In- dustrial Union. They must help those workers to carry out their activities and bring out their initiative. The Industrial Union must in time of Struggles call periodical, regular meetings of the striking members of the union and instruct them to check up their activities. 28. The Industrial Union must not in the least. weaken its activities or hide its indepen- dent face in the strike, which in itself would impede the formation of the united front and ald the enemy by giving him a trump card. We must display a maximum of initiative through the issuance of anpeals and declarations, of a ctrike must be approved at a meeting of all the workers belonging to the particular shop involved, If a group of shops is involved or all the shops on strike, then the ap- proval of delegates must be secured. : 30. It is extremely important to inform the STRUGGLE AGAINST STRIKEBREAKING REFORMIST UNIONS. of the strike, giving brief important political ine formation, posting important decisions of the General Strike Committee, etc. SPECIAL INSTRUCTORS. necessary, these are to be submitied for dis- cussion not only to the General Strike Commit- tee, but to the general mass meeting of the strikers. 22. The struggle to reach a general agree- ment on the basis of the strikers’ demands ooes not exclude the possibility of conferences and settlements with individual employers just as the preparations for the general strike do not exe clude preliminary single shop strikes. STRIKE AND RELIEF FUNDS. tricity, to prohibit evictions for non-payment of rent, the organization of kitchens and food dis- tributing centers. These demands made by the Workers’ Delegations must be backed up by mass demonstrations of the strikers and unemployed in front of the municipal building, 4 of America. It is necessary to explain the role of the capitalist government and also the role of the strike-breaking trade union bureaucracy of the A. F. of L. We must compare the effects of the world crisis with its mass unemployment in the capitalist countries, and particularly in the United States of America, with the success ful construction of socialism and the liquidation of unemployment in the U.S.S.R., and point out that the way out of this crisis lies in the con- sistent revolutionary struggle for partial de- mands of the proletariat as well as for the com- plete abolition of the decaying capitalist system. Each mass agitation will undoubtedly paralyze the influence of the reformists and help to strengthen the united front of the striking dress- makers. 26, The adherents of the United Front in the ranks of the reformist unions must expose the maneuvers of the bureaucracy designed to break ment of the class-consciousness of the workers | the strike, by taking the floor at every meeting and the rooting out of the last vestiges of re- | called by them and fighting for proposals. that will lead toward the adoption of militant meth- ods of struggle on the basis of the United Front. In case meetings do not take place or the bu- reaucracy refuses to call them, the adherents of the United Front are to call such meetings. It depends on each particular situation whether or not it, is advisable to invite to these meetings the reactionary leaders to defend their acts be- fore the masses. ROLE OF THE INDUSTRIAL UNION. strike and to answer the rumors spread by the bosses and the fakers. Every effort to spread confusion and demoralization in the ranks of the workers must be answered. Therefore, it 4s necessary to organize a special press committee in the Strike Committees and Central Strike Committee which shall be responsible for the information and statements submitted t> the press and to counteract all efforts to break the strike.’ The committees shall give information about the progress of the strike, stopping of shops, etc. 31. The strike of the dressmakers must not be isolated, but in order to get support of other sections of the workers, the Industrial Union and the United Front Strike Committee must draw in tie workers of other industries, and clubs, fraternal organizations, such as Labor | Sports organizations, Unemployed Councils, ILD, TWO, WIR, cultural organizations, etc. to give support to the strike. The representatives of these organizations must be fraternally drawn * ‘ the Central Strike Committee. At the same time, in erdes to strengthen te morale arid soli- cairity of the workers, it is necessery to link up the dressmakers’ struggle with the struggle of the miners, Scottsboro, etc. 32.
