the trade union movement is split,

movement is split and where the re-
formists have majority due to the
police terror of the bourgeois state
(Jugo-Slavia, Roumania). 90 Coun-
tries where the trade union movement
is unified, but where because of the
political and police conditions the
trade unions are affiliated to no in

Countries where in addition to the
central organizations independent, re-

unions to be without any interna-

Countries where the trade union
movement is split and the revolution
airy workers have the majority
(France). (S) Countries where in
addition to the big organizations small
syndicalist and anarcho-syndicalist or
CARNATIONS exist. In accordance with
this we can formulate our tactics for
the struggle for unity on broad out
lines.
Q) In England the struggle for
unity must be conducted on the fol-
lowing lines: (a) further consolida-
ton of the Minority Movement, (b)
struggle against groups and guild
tendencies, (c) struggle to bring
about the affiliation of all trade
unions to the Trade Union Council,
(d) struggle for the creation of in
dustrial unions on the basis Of fac
tory council, (e) transformation Of
the general council into leading or
gan, III participation Of the Trade
Council in the national union con-
crosses and development Of its role in
local organizations, (g) definite sup
port Of the left wing in all its endeav-
ors to attain unity. Ch) decisive strug-
gle against the right wing, III strug-
gle against the influence of imperial
ism on the working class, I'd strug-
gle against the labor aristocracy in
the labor party which is intent on
stemming the onward march of the
workers.
~ In Germany the struggle for
unity must be on the following lines:
the creation and organization of an
oppositional of revolutionary minor
ity, intense struggle against the pol
icy of expulsion and an endeavor to
reunite the Independent unions with
the reformist unions The party's
chief endeavor should be in the direc-
ton Of organizing the revolutionary
opposition and the capitalization of
real left wing in the trade unions.
The center of the struggle for unity
must be in the factories and factory
councils. The struggle for the fac
tory councils signifies the struggle for
unity.
(3) In czecho-SIovakIa. The strug-
gle in the factories must be our chief
aim where unity organs must be Gre
ated and mixed committees must be
established for the conduct of the
common struggle. Following on these
unity conferences must be convened
of the factory councils and the trade
unions according to districts and final
ly the national congress of trade
unions must be initiated, to which So
cial-democrats, national socialists and
reyolutionaries in the trade unions
should be invited, including both
Czechs and Germans; there exists no
danger that at this congress we win
be In q minority. What is necessary
for an actual and not merely pretend
ed fight for unity is the establishment
Of fractions in all trade unions in this
country as well as in all others, as
