THE Red International of Labor Unions
World Congress will open in August and
its significance to the entire world proletarat
is the utmost Importance. Here all workers
of the world will gather to discuss the present
situation in their countries, will draw up
revolutionary program for all militant, revo-
lutionary unions affiliated to the r, I. L. U.
The present economic crisis, which is be-
coming deeper every day, gives the revolu-
tionary movement the weapon for immediate
organization of the working masses. The
working class of the entire world is revolving
against the present system Of society.
Naturalization, resulting in mass unemploy-
ment. is the order of the day for the capt.
tahst class, Spontaneous struggles are TAX
ing place in the entire world where capitalism
exists. The struggles that have and are tax
ing place are sufficient proof of the radical
ization of the working class and the growth of
the revolutionary spirit which is rising higher
every day due to the objective conditions in
the present period.
In the last few years many important strug-
giles have taken place and many new strug-
giles developing. In all these struggles the
Communist Party and the revolutionary unions
affiliated to the R. !, L. U. have proven to
be the leaders of the toiling masses.
And in many of the present struggles
many betrayals have taken place in the entire
world by traitors like, VIM Green, Matthew
VOL and Co. from the A F. of L., Walter
Citrine. Wall, Morrison and Ramsay MacDon-
aid of the mis-Labor Party in England.
At the present time the International Fed
Grafton of Trade Unions is converting in Stock
holm in order to draw up better plans how to
serve to the master class. Now Mr. J. Sas-
senbach after serving capitalism for eight
years as secretary to the I, F. T, u, announces
his retirement. The answer to these traitors
must be that the revolutionary movement must
take the leadership of all the struggles and
not lag behind any more.
Recently $4,000 metal workers in Ruhr, Ger
many, struck 1000 potash miners in Alsace
France; 1900 foundry workers in Adour
France, the English wooden textile workers in
Lancashire, England, over 100000; the con-
tinuous struggles in Latin-America against
American and British Imperialism which is
exploiting and drowning in blood the revolu-
tionary movement of the workers and peas
ants, like in Cuba by Machado. tool of Amer
lean imperialism; Rubio in Mexico, who is
numbering all militant workers for the in
terest of Wall st.
Also the militant fight of the Chinese work
ers under Communist leadership against Gen.
Chang Ka-shek against the bloody rule of
the Nationalist Government, who is being
used as a tool for finance capital. But the
struggle of the Chinese workers and peasants
is going on with support of the workers of
the world. Many big strikes have taken place
in China. especially in the textile industry.
In India many strikes are taking place in
the water front, textile, ETC., and at the same
time the Indian workers are revolving against
British Imperialism. The Indian workers are
realizing that the pacifist Gandhi and Ram
say Macdonald of the Labor Party are tools
of the English bourgeosie, and they are fol-
lowing the leadership of the revolutionary
movement.
In Japan, in the last two years, over $4,000
workers have been arrested for activities in
the class struggle, militant struggles are TAX
ing place every day.
And in the United States in the past there
was the big strikes in textile in New Bed
ford, Fall River, Gastonia, which resulted in
over 800 arrests; food workers strike in New
York over 1000 arrests; strikes in the Anthra-
cite among the coal miners, strikes in Boston
and vicinity; in the needle and shoe indus
tries and at the moment there are big strug-
giles going on Flint, Michigan, in the Fisher
Body, where the auto workers are fighting
under the leadership of the Auto Workers
Union; the miners strike in the Anthracite.
All these struggles are proofs of the present
economic crisis which is shaking the whole
capitalist system this crisis has brought mass
unemployment. In the United States the coun-
