Investigation of Communist Activities in Seattle, Wash., Area, Hearings, Part 1
United States. Congress. House. Committee on Un-American Activities
Communism -- Washington (State) -- Seattle
The organization of a factory cell in a big enterprise in the
present conditions is a very difficult affair, demanding very
long and stubborn work by the Party members, both those working
in the enterprise as well as those who are employed elsewhere. It
is the business of the Party Committee to secure the essential
co-ordination of the work of the Communists who are working inside
the enterprise, with that of the Communists who are outside
the boundaries of the enterprise. And here a very important
question presents itself with regard to the form of organization
of Party members who are not workers in enterprises; artisans,
housewives, etc. According to the decisions of the International
Organizational Consultations, and according to the constitution
of the Communist Parties, such Party members are organized in
street cells. But how should these street cells be organized? The
practice of the Parties of the different countries shows that
the street cells are often organized without any plan. Street
cells are organized according to place of residence, those Party
members who live in the territory of a definite district or around
some street or other, being brought into the street cells. But
what should these street cells do? The practice of street cells
in many countries shows that as a rule they meet from time to
time, discuss various general questions, but do not carry on
any practical day to day work. Street cells as a rule come to
life only during big campaigns at the time of various elections,
etc., when they are called upon to distribute leaflets, collect
signatures, canvass flats, etc.
