House and was attended by represen-
tatives Of trade union organizations
of forty countries.
Losovsky, who opened the congress,
pointed out that since the last con-
gress Of R. I. L. u, a new detach-
lnent of the working class, Chinese
labor, had entered the arena of his
terry.
When the consequences of the Chi
nese struggle became clear, Losov-
sky said, the whole capitalist world
began a campaign Of repression and
persecution of the labor movement
"The onslaught of world capitalism
against the Soviet Union toward
pressed peoples of all the world are
outstretched is particularly violent
In spite of the more intense interna-
tional reaction, the world labor move
ment is growing stronger. The con-
press will lay down better methods
Of struggle and will develop work
under the following slogans:
"Down with CAPITALISM and its
lackeys! Fight for overthrow of CAPT
talism and for the power of the work
ers!"

Monmousseau's and Dimitrov's report
on the struggle against the fascist
and yellow trade union movements
and the drawing in of labor youth
trade unions toward the organiza-
tional questions, the question of So
cial legislation and the coming cleo
lions.
Tomsky greeting the Congress on
behalf Of the Central Committee of
Trade Unions of the Soviet Union
characterized the fundamental tasks
of the Soviet trade union movement
and pointed out that the working
class of the U. S. S. r. is facing the
greatest task in the decentralization
of production, which unlike rationale
cation in capitalist countries, will bet
ter the condition of the workers. The
Soviet trade union movement, he also
pointed out, faces the task of cultural
revolution.
o"rhe world bourgeoisie" he said,
"is endeavoring thru blackmah and
intimidation, to wreck the work of
peaceful construction in the Soviet
Union. However, the stronger the
capitalist onslaught against the So
Wet Union, the more energetically
will we proceed with the task of in
distributing our country and the
sooner will we free ourselves from
economic independence on Sle bour-
geoisie.
"Millions of workers." he con-
tinued, fare being drawn INFO the
struggle for the unity of the trade
union movement. The workers dele
cations having visited the Soviet
Union told the whole truth regarding
the Russian revolution. The break
up of the Anglo-Russian Committee
disclosed that the reformists are
striving for closer cooperation with
the bourgeoisie. The Soviet trade
unions, having created a fund OF
seven million roubles for interna-
tional solidarity, proved that they are
ready to extend their help to inter
national labor not in the form Of
words, but in the form of deeds"
