ing session Saturday. It is in full
as follows:
"The Profintern (Red International
of Labor Unions) greets the Trade
Union Educational League Conference
as decisive factor in the struggle for
class tradeSunionism in America. The
increasing reaction against the bur-
ueacracy, and the leftward trend of
the masses makes great advance pos
sible.
"The fight against the agents Of
imperialism must be absolutely unre-
lenting, especially when the bureau
Gratis take the lead in struggles only
to betray the workers, as in the gar
ment and mine strikes.
"The Red International regards the
basis for unity CT all really progress
sive elements, and your immediate
tasks: first, to democratize the
unions and GUST corrupt leaders; sec
ond. organize the unorganizcd; third,
create new unions where corrupt bur-
eaucrats cause Wholesale loss Of mem
norship and union disintegration.
Urges Amalgamatiop.
"Your fourth task is amalgamation.
Your sixth is to fight imperialism;
your seventh, to struggle against the
wal danger and your eighth is to
build world trade union unity.
"fOrganize the Unorganized' must
not be an abstract slogan, nor must
reliance be placed in the reactionary
bureaucracy. The Trade Union Edu-
cational League, itself, must union-
! iZe the unorgauized millions.
Strengthen League.
"Thc present organizational weak
ness of the league must be corrected,
and all real progressive elements,
outside and inside, all must be brought
into the Trade Union Educational
League.

Tra.le Union Educational League will
be transformed from a propaganda
organ, into a leading organ in the
class struggle of the American prole-
tariat"

Fight Reaction.
"The Trade Union Educational
League Conference is in complete
agreement with the judgment Of the
Red International of Labor Unions,
on tasks of the American left wing.
American trade unions, with their
hopelessly reactionary bureaucracy,
are in the deepest crisis of their
career.
Bosses Smashing Unions.
Employers are smashing the Min
ers' Union and are intensifying the
drive to break up or emasculate the
entire labor movement. The fate of
the union movement depends upon
the successful mobilization Of the
masses, and the building of the left
wing and progressives around tt.e
slogans OF organize UHe morgan

war danger"
