_'_ ELECT .: JO O TRADE U&ION FLINCTIONJ IES
lnt-wetn IC January and. 1 O obe^ l9;%, 250,000 functionaries of the National
Coun_i,. of Trade Union? v!,1 b'_ e_.cted,
The trade unions are the largest organization of the working masses and, as
the organisers of work competitions, they render direct service to the party in
regard to production During the past 1, years, the it ortance of trade unions
has conei.ierably increased, since they ha'.e to educate constantly a great number
of workers to carry Out party and government resolutions. Another mission is
the futherance of discipline in large-scale industry and creation of incentives
for the Social_?st vory competitions
The principal aim of the elections is the strengthening of the trade unions
so that they can cope with their important task. An ade,uate political indoctri-
nation campaign is the prerequisite for the success of the elections. However,
certain organs of the trade unions, due mainly to inimical, Social Democratic
influence, are apt to _'rd.uct the campaign with bureaucratic methods instead of real
agitation and political indoctrination,
Only workers who are ready to defend. the party's policy and fight for the
interests of the working class shoul?? be elected. This goal, however, cannot
be accompiiahed without a vigorcus campaign. The enemy, hirelings of the right-
wing Social Democrat_a and imperialists, will try to infiltrate the leadership
of the trade union= since it Jas become increasingly difficult for them to smuggle
their ^en intc the party organizations. Vigilance of the masses must prevent
these hirelings from attaining their aims.
The election results should be a manfestetion of a new incentive for Social-
ist .Ompetition, Stakhanovite and innovation movements, tightening of discipline,
bigger production, and fulfilling and exceeding the plans.
