SAYS MORONES
BETRAYED FIGHT
OF OIL WORKERS
Calls GROIN Struggle
With Obregon "Sordid"


Mexican Labor Party (PLM) and
Obreg6n, the Communist Party of
Mexico has taken a position officially
of opposition to the false labor lead
ers and calls upon the workers to
throw out intruding politicians from
their organizations, to work for
united front and for closer alliance
between the city syndicates and the
peasants. The manifesto of the Ex-
ecutive Committee of the Communist
Party declares the present conflict "a
sordid struggle between two political
factions called Obreg6nism and La
borism."
Price of Treachery.
The Party points out that the Con-
federation Regional Obrre Mexicana
is now paying the price for previous
traitofous acts towards the working
class, toward independent unions, cit
ing the breaking of the railway work
ers' strike last year, policy which
has resulted in the weakening of the
GROIN unions themselves, as in the
case of the oil strike in Minantitlan.
The GROIN has consistently attempt
ed to break the strikes Of independent
unions, and has even, as in the case
of the mine workers strikes in jail
isco, made alliances with the catholics
to accomplish this end.
The Communist Party also points
out the policy of class collaboration,
supported by Morones, notably in the
textile industry, has resulted in
weakening of the workers organiza-
tions and has brought about lock-outs
and the unemployment Of thousands.
Morones is denounced for his fail
ure to protest against the mutilations
of the constitution with respect to
petroleum, and the concessions made
: by the government at the behest of
American ambassador. Morrow. The
general alliance of +he GROIN lead
ers with American Imperialism is vi
gorously denounced.
The STRUGGLE in general is typified,
not as signifving any real orientation
toward the Fundamental problems of
the country, but selfish struggle be-
tween the national capitalism and the
petty bourgeoisie on the one hand
and small group of labor politicians
belonging to even a pettier bourgeoisie
on the other.
Political Rivalries.
The Party declares that Oregon
ism at one time represented the unit
ed front against clericahsm, landlord
ism, and imperialism, but that the re-
cent split reveals that for Obreg6n
the united front now exists in his own
person, and that he has called on the
peasants, the middle classes and part
of the upper classes to aid him. The
Obreg6n group are not motivated by
any sincere desire to destroy the false
labor leadership and strengthen the
labor movement but merely to destroy
strong rival political clique which
interferes with their own ambitions.
There are even those among the OBJ
regonistas who wish to destroy the
labor movement, reduce salaries, and
abolish the social gains Of the revo-
luton.
The Party declares that Moronism
is not the GROIN and that the Labor
Party does not represent the Mexican
proletariat. Within the GROIN itself
are strong elements eager to abolish
the parasitical and yellow leadership.
The Party points out the alliances of
Morones' group with American impe-
rialism, recalling that the GROIN
leaders compelled the organization to
parade in honor Of Lindbergh, that
the recent parades have carried no
banners referring to American impe-
rialism, and that the official machine
Of the organization is dominated by
the American Federation of Labor,
which is in turn but another imperi-
alistic instrument, as exemplified par
ticularly in Puerto Rico.
Against Division.
In view of these facts the Commu-
mist Party calls upon the revolution
AIRY organizations to unite, to rid
themselves Of false leaders and sup
port true class representatives This
is dangerous moment for the work
ing class, for there are among the poll
iticians those who are working to
create new and emasculated organ
ization, not merely to fight the GROIN
leaders, but to destroy the bona fide
workers organizations as well, clever
ly taking advantage of the discomfort
of the bulk of the members Of the
GROIN to lift themselves to political
power The Communist Party, there
fore, calls upon the workers not to
permit their organizations to be di-
vided, but to work for greater unity
which can be achieved by eliminating
the present leaders and giving no
heed to those who would foment syn
dicalist disunity and the formation Of
separatist declarations. Glass solidar-
ity is the watchword of the Party in
the present crisis.
The federation of labor in the states
of Coahuila and Durango have with
drawn from the GROIN, denouncing
Morones as an agent of imperialism.
Sometime ago vhen Morones called
