T. u. E. L. Report at Mexican Congress
By Fred Ellis

American imperialism and capital
list war. The mobilization of these
workers would be distinct help in
the mobilization of the agricultural
workers as a whole and of the Ne
gro masses in the South whom our
Mexican comrades could most cas-
lily lead into struggle. The mobili-
cation of these Latin-American toll
ers in the U. S. would be of ire
mendous aid to the revolutionary
struggles of the Latin-American
masses against American imperial
ism,
These great tasks before US make
a few additional proposals absolute
ly necessary if we are to map out
a program of work and carry out our
tasks. A capable Mexican comrade
should become part of the appara-
tus of the revolutionary trade union
movement in the u. S., and capable
Mexican organizers sent into the
key cities of America where the
Mexican workers predominant to or
ganize these workers and mobilize
them for struggle. Simultaneously
most capable representative of the
T.U.E.L. should be stationed in Mex
leo to help out as much as possible
and to coordinate the work in the
two countries to the greatest pos
sible extent. When this first step
will have been accomplished we will
be well on the road to living up to
our historic duty.
Montevideo Conference.
Finally, word as to the coming
Montevideo conference. We have
been informed of the coming con-
ference at Montevideo, Uruguay, in
May, at which will be organized the
Confederation Sindical Latino-Ameri-
cana. We greet that movement as
the most valuable means whereby
the solidarity in action of the trade
unions of Latin America with the
revolutionary trade unions and mill
tant minority of the U. S. can be af-
fected. We trust that your assembly
will unite with the other Latir
American unions represented at the
Montevideo congress. On our side
we have the duty of fighting the i'm.
perialist policy of the bureaucracy
of the American Federation of Labor
officialdom from within that organi
cation and outside of it, where the
80 per cent. of the proletariat are
still unorganized, of organizing new
and militant unions which will func
ton in the interests of the whole
working class, both here and il
foreign lands, and which will b,
the power within the fortress Of
Yankee Imperialism, that will des
troy it from within as our Lati1
American comrades attack it from
without.
! Forward, then to unity, nationall!
and internationally, of the trad,
unionists Of all America and Of tn,
world. Down with the yellow ant
class collaboration officialdom. Ava,
| with the Amsterdam and Pan-Amer
lean Federation of Labor traitors
and splitters.
The TUEL, United States section
of the Red International of Labol
Unions, through your assembly
sends to the trade unions Of Mexic,
and of all Latin America, it's fra
ternal greetings and earnest pledg
of every support within our power
Long live the unity of the work
ers.

Down with the agents of imperial
ism in the labor movement.
