Into Action for Jobless Relief!
Organize! Fight for Bread!
PROGRAM FOR UNEMPLOYMENT STRUGGLE FOR DECEMBER,
JANUARY. FEBRUARY

Statement BY the Central Committee of the Com
munist Party of the United States of America.
The crisis is deepening. This is shown by the fur
ther slowing down of industry the decline of payroll
totals the increase of unemployment the growth of
bank failures, ETC. The situation of the workers be-
comes steadily worse, The charity relief of
the capitalists criminaly inadequate. Mass star
walton spreads throughout the country.
The need of the workers for action is imperative
Their responsiveness to program and leadership
rapidly increases. But not taking advantage OF
the opportunity to unite and lead them. Our unen-
ployment work must be intensified. There is not
enough local struggle. This weakness must be dras-
tcally corrected at We must mobilize all our
forces Immediately and press forward with the utmost
miltancy to the furtherance of our unemployment
program.
The Plenunl resolution unemployment gives de-
tailed directives the formulation of local demands
for relief. the new methods of work. etc. 1t is the
purpose Of this statement to stress the connection be-
tween the various phases of unemployment work
and to link them all together in a genera plan OF
strategy Each of these phases, by its character its
time element, ETC., fits into national unemploy
ment campaign, Each supports and reinforces the
others. While they should be applied fexbly to
local conditions, the general line be adhered to-
All go to complete the general program. 1t is
case of picking particular phase for local
application, but of putting the entire program into eff
feet as outlined
l. Local United Front Conferences. The first of
the two series of these beginning to take place
now. They must be extended to the smaller indus
trial centers They must be utilized to lay broad base
for the whole movement They must include not only
the local branches of the nationally affiliated organ
izaons, but also representatives of unorganzed work
ers in the factories A. F. of L. unions breadnes flop
houses etc. These conferences should devote them
selves to three major tasks ca the development of
local program OF demands and struggle against evc
