the same time negotiating for CO.
operation with the leaders of the
General Council.
"The reformists are striving on
their part to form coali ion policy
and trying to transform the trade
unions to tools of capitalism. Under
such conditions every economic strug-
gle becomes political. Hence our task
becomes: A struggle for leadership
and for restoration of close contact
with the masses, at the same time the
support Of the struggle of the OPP
pressed workers in the colonies.
Martinez Speaks.
''We consider it necessary that all
means of support be rendered the
minorities in the trade unions to de-
velop their international propaganda
committees which we consider the
most important means of rallying the
trade unions toward the Red Interna-
tional of Labor Unions"
Martinez, speaking for the workers
of Latin America declared tn t
american capitalism wishes econ
omically to absorb all Latin America
under the slogan America for the
American Bourgeoisie.'
Recently" he continued, "the
Pan-American Union was created
for the purpose of putting life into
the imperialis6 endeavors of the
United States, with the aid Of the
INaIowotiNo of T. q h n
American workers must fight this
Union. Workers of Latin America
must consider their chief task their
struggle against American imperial
ism, in it's various DISCUSSES
Compulsory Arbitration.
Jeffers Of Australia vigorously de
MED the rumor circulated by the re-
formists that Aus. ralia was happy
country, ruled by Labor" govern
ment. During the last six or seven
years" he said, 1.-The so-called Labor
Government of Queensland issued
series of laws against the working
class. This government has con-
tinually engaged in conflic,s with
the working class.
"The newly introduced compulsory
arbitration machinery is most harm
full to the labor movement. Uneni-
ployment is growing. Wages are be-
ing cut in spite Of the resistance of
a militant section of the working
class. The Red International OF La
Dor Unions is becoming more and
more popular among the masses.
There has actually been proposed a
law limiting trade union rights. This
bill is meeting with I've strongest re-
sistance on the par, of the revolu-
tionary proletariat Of Australia"
Poland Swings Left.
Dumbritzky Of Poland declared that
the illusions that had been entertained
by certain portion OF the working
class and the peasantry when Pill
sudski had taken power had been
definitely crushed. Poland was pro-
ceeding to ruthlessly wreck legal
worker and peasants organizations
while revolutionary sentiment was
growing among the working masses.
"The elections of 1928 show that
the worAing masses are steadily
moving to the left" he declared. "Re-
formism is adopting a pseudo-opposi-
tion to the government to deceive the
masses. Such attempts must be ex-
posed"
Monmouusseau declared that the
French delegates agreed with Los
ovsky's analysis. "One of our essen
tial defects" he declared, sis our
weak tie with the masses in spite of
the growing influence of the Unitary
Federation Of Labor. Some of our
comrades have incorrectly estimated
the fighting capacity of the working
class and capitalist naturalization.
We must take the necessary steps to
correct these mistakes and during the
recent strikes the Unity Federation
Of Labor he ded the movement
everywhere. The strategy of our
strike struggle must be calculated by
all means to the development and
strengthening of our organization
and consolidating our influence among
unskilled workers, working women
and young workers. The growing re-
pressions of the government and en-
ployers against militant members of
the Unitarian trade unions are the
best evidence that the Federation is a
real mass organization defending the
interests Of the workers."
Thoman of Austria pointed out the
