lied and initiated by us, that will be composed
of our members rank and file workers of the
A. F. of L. and unorganized workers.
1--WE might run into situation where the
unorganzed workers as well as the rank and file
A. F. of l.. workers are ready to follow our plan
of struggle as far as the conditions in the shop
are concerned, but are not yet ready to join
our union
United Front from Below
In such situations, we must be in a position
to skillfully apply our united front policy from
below which will include the above mentioned
groups Of workers. In this our task must be to
win thsse committees and workers not only for
our progrf m of struggle lis it is applied in the
shop, but tor the general program of our l. u
o. L. and its affiliated organizations. This we
vi S, reed in dong if we are skillful in the
application of our united front policy and the
proper building up of our strike strategy which
must be based first and foremost on the actual
conditions and demands of the workers in the
shop.
The further task of the shop committee must
be to also take up the building of the above
mentioned shop form of organization in other
plants within the same industry and through
this the establishment of shop delegate council
OF all the plants of a respective industry in one
locality. By this we mean that if, for instance
we have two or three plants, let us say in
steel industry or in the auto industry in one
locality, the shop committees in all of these
plants must be connected up by delegates elected
by the respective shop committees in each Of
these plants and this committee would then
constitute the city shop delegate council IN a
certain locality.
At all times keep in mind that i'll most cases

semi-iegal fashion BY this mean that in
quite few cases we will be forced to call meet
ings in such a manner SO as not to have our
selves exposed to the Bosses s(For instance call
ing meetings in workers houses) AS we go along
and during the course of the building up of the
above outlined form of organizations we will
be in position to work as an openly recognized
organization in the eyes of the workers Then
again 1t must be understood that the program
outlined above is not TO be looked upon as some
thing which takes long period of time but
rather on the contrary, we must keep in the
forefront in practically all cases, our immediate
perspective of struggle because the conditions
are favorable for such program and the task
therefore is to increase the tempo of organiza-
ton This in my opinion, is one of the most out
standing tasks before our general T. u. u. L.
movement
In case spontaneous strike breaks out in q
shop in which we have no form of organization
at all, our task must be to build up shop COM
mttee during the course of the strike along the
above mentioned line, in addition of course to
other methods of strike strategy (mass picket
ing, rank and file strike committees, defense
organizations, etc., which would enter into the
building up of this shop committee
AS we proceed in the building up of inside
shop organization we must increase our activity
IN the building up OF the movement among the
unemployed The shop committee therefore must
have definite concrete program in order to
organize the unemployed workers in the respec
tive industries around its program of struggle.
both for the demands Of the employed and un-
employed workers. This program must be based
on unity OF action between the employed and
unemployed in accordance with our general pro-
gram OF struggle against unemployment
