the front ranks of the struggles of
the workers against naturalization,
for the National Textile Workers
Union in the South, in the Gastonia
defense, in defense of the Soviet
Union, etc. The Press Committee
has prepared a special resolution on
the Daily Worker, endorsing its
campaigns.
We have our own organ, Labor
Unity, the official organ of the
T.U.U.L. At the Labor Unity con-
ference last night, attended by more
than so delegates, a thorough dis
cussion, participated in by almost
everyone present, took place, and
the conference unanimously adopted
resolution taking concrete steps
for the strengthening of our press.
(This resolution was unanimously
adopted by the conventional In addi-
ton, a large number of suggestions
were made which will be turned
over to the incoming National Exc
cutive Board for action.
The conference proposes that:
ID an immediate subscription cam
paign be carried on with the imme-
date aim of securing $4,000 yearly
subscriptions for Labor Unity. (2)
Every T.U.U.L. group be instructed
to select a Labor Unity agent, and
a number of other definite steps to
broaden the distribution and put the
finances on sound basis, including
the distribution of Labor Unity at
factory gates, house to house distri-
button, etc. (3) Every T.U.U.L. unit
to select a worker correspondent.
Worker Correspondents.
Workers correspondence was taken
up at length in our conference.
Workers correspondence is the life
blood of the paper, sinking the roots
of the T.U.U.L. deep among the fac
tory workers. Workers correspon-
dents must write about not only
local factory matters, but about
general subjects as well, such as
strike strategy, for who should dis
cuss this important subject if not
those workers who have just been
through a strike? Labor Unity be-
longs to the workers of the T.U.U.L
and they must make it their paper
by writing for it and seeing to it
that it is distributed on a mass scale.
1t is not necessary here to go into
the Importance of The press to the
T.U.U.L. This was taken up in my
speech during the discussion yester-
day. The press is not only the mouth
piece of the T.U.U.L., bringing the
program and campaign of the R.I.L.
U. and T.U.U.L. to the workers, and
Stunning up the lessons of past ac-
Invites, but it is also an actual or
gamer of the left wing movement.
Labor Unity is one CT the chief
means in bri 1siny the program Of
the T.U.U.L. to the unorganized
masses, introducing and drawing
hitherto unreached masses of work
iers into our movement.
To Improve.
Many shortcomings were pointed
out in the Labor Unity conference
much constructive criticism given
all of which was carefully noted and
will be acted upon. The financial
and editorial weakness of Labor
Unity has been largely the accom-
paniment of the organizations
weakness of the movement in gen
eral. Just as this convention marks
a big step forward in unifying and
lettering the organization of the
T.U.U.L., just as this convention
means the strengthening and en-.
larging of the organizational side OF
the work, so will this convention
mark a turning point for Labor
Unity.
Editorially, we must better the
paper. The convention must alst
mean the establishment Of Labor
Unity on a sound financial basis
the building up of Labor Unity
agents, district conferences to bet
ter distribution, wide subscription
campaigns, more distribution by the
new unions, etc.
We nay expect that the attention
given by this conveneian to oul
press will mean the building up O.
Labor Unity as real mass organ
having scores of thousands Of sub
scribers and scores of thousands o.
