dent of the Red International of
Trade Unions, declared that the
fourth congress of the r. 1. L. U.
had exposed all the deficiencies of
trade union work. Decisions were
unanimously adopted. Our opposi-
ton, however, showed itself, said
the speaker, particularly in Germany
and the United States.
The Fourth Congress decided to in
crease the struggle against the re-
formists and work for a united
front chiefly from below, to carry on
labor struggles when the reformists
sabotaged; to strengthen the revolu-
tionary unions, if necessary at the
expense of the reformist unions; to
organize the unorganized, to fight
against expulsions and condemn the
unity at any price" policy.
l The German right wing comrades
Attacked these decisions and in the
United States the opposition came
from the Central Committee of the
Party, Losovsky said. There Pepper
had set up the theory of the numer-
teal growth of the American Fede-
fation of Labor and thus distracted
attention from the urgent problem
Of organizing the unorganized into
new unions.
France and Czecho-Slovakia have
done the most to carry out the de-
cisions but the work is going on
slowly. For example in France
ninety per cent of the workers are
unorganized.
The German rights also attacked
the Red International of Trade
Unions on the question of strike
strategy, the speaker said, putting
up instead the slogan of force the
leaders," as the pressure could
make fighters of reformists.
Our task is to replace reformists
of the trade unions by proletarian
fighters, who will take the lead in
strikes and utilize them against the
refornists and the bourgeoisie. The
German rights want to wait until we
have captured the trade union ap-
paratus but that would be fatal for
US.
The Fourth Congress did not de-
eide on disruption but also opposed
unconditional capitulation to the re-
formists. The forces of the Red In
ternational Of Trade Unions are
growing. Victory over the capital
lists is certain.
The following comrades then adj
dressed the congress, Li-kuang, of
China, Lenski, of Poland; and DOM
bal, of the Peasant International.
Foster, of the United States, de-
clared that the American bour-
geoisie is trying to break the resist
ance of the workers by propagating
reform plans which are nothing but
utopias. These tendencies are
dangerous.
Calls Analysis Short.
The speaker further declared that
Bukharin's analysis of American i'm
perialism is somewhat short. Foster
considered that detailed analysis
Of American imperialism is neces-
sary in order to determine the COR
rect policy for the American party.
"The majority of the Central Com
mittee of the party has committed
serious opportunist errors" the
speaker went on, sit has overesti-
mated the reserve forces of Ameri-
can capitalism, underestimated the
present economic depression, under
estimated the war danger and the
aggressive policy of the United
States in China, underestimate the
naturalization Of the masses, neg
lected t. organize the unorganized
and neglected to work amongst the
women and the Negroes.
"The majority does not believe in
the fighting spirit of the masses.
The majority does not fight against
the right wing tendencies because
itself is pursuing right wing poll
ley, The Communist international
must correct the party policy"
At the fourteenth session of the
congress, Comrades Theng-kuang
and Uibricht, Of Germany, spoke.
Charge Overestimation.
The latter attacked Eyert, declar-
Ing that his attitude hindered thu
party from overcoming right wing
deviations. He declared that Evert's
