Flight for Internal Unity.


dualist organizers, and vigorous sup
port Of the expulsion of the disrup-
tive group which played the stool
pigeon and appealed to capitalist
courts, the following methods be OBJ
served to bring the divided rank and
file together:
l. Unity on the Job so far as fight
ing the bosses is concerned. Com
mon action with all workers on the
job, including those rank and filerA
who have militantly gone "emer-
gency."
2. Joint meetings Of conflicting
branches and joint delegate confer
ences of industrial unions which are
split, with the agenda to be limited
to the one question-unity.
8. The next general convention Of
either faction must elect permanent
committee on unity to formulate and
publish terms Of unity with the other
faction and set a date and place to
discuss terms acceptable to both.
4. In the meantime, the general
headquarters should send the G.. e. B.
chairman or the general secretary
treasurer, or both, to the coast and
call mass meetings to contest the
emergency program in its strong
est section with an theological war
against decentralization, pacifism,
anarcho-syndicalism and anti-reyolu-
tionary job unionism.
Make the A. w. !. U. a Real Union.
But the positive basis of A. w. 1. u.
ITO should rest upon the building up
by persistent and aggressive effort of
a real union among the 1000 900
wage workers in agriculture. Until
that is done it is idle to call the
A. w. I. U. an effective union. Until
that is done it is a grave mistake to
scatter the financial proceeds Of the
harvest drive In all directions with
generous hand, and not provide for
a systematic drive to unionize the
residential and semi-residential 'hired
men," ranch hands, dairy hands, cot
ton, fruit and tobacco pickers, beet
field and all other categories of land
workers.
These masses of workers must be
organized and the difficulty of the
task is no reason for delaying it. I'm
ions Of similar workers in other coun-
tries are organized and function mil
itantly In strikes and general class
struggle and return a bench. to their
members. The A. ". I. L. will con-
vict itself Of the same charge it
makes against the A. F. of L. If it,
too, does not apply itself to organic
ing these oppressed and exploited,
workers.
Friendly Contact With Other Red
Land Workers.
And in the consideration Of this
great duty, the A. w. /. u. could bene-
fit by the experience and efsarts of
The International Propaganda Com
mittee of Land and Forest Workers
Section of the Red International of
Labor Unions.
For this purpose the officials of the
A. W. I. U. ITO should enter into
friendly correspondence with the
|. P. c. Of Land and Forest Workers,
and the next A. w. 1. U. convention
should elect delegation to attend
the next international conference of
the revolutionary land workers I'M
ions connected with the I. P. C.
For international Unity.
The r. /. A. c. believes that such
international contact would aid ire
mendously in bringing the A. w. u,
into the current of world unionism
and show to its members the advan.
tage OF championing the affiliation of
the whole /. w. w. to the Red Inter
national Of Labor Unions. The r. /.
L. U. stands at the forefront of reyo-
lutionary unionism and its fight for
international unity of all unions Of the
world should be supported by the
A. w. |. U. as it has been by the
British unions.
ITO those who doubt the scope of
1880 anu lut WuOlc matter
OF the success of the Russian reyolu-
ton, the number, power, structure
and function of the unions OF Soviet
Russia, and all the relations of life
between the workers and their own
Soviet government-the R. I. A. C.

delegation to Russia.
