and leaders of the workers for the struggle
for their immediate economic demands.
(b) Where they do appear as such, they
hang on TO the inheritance of the old trade
union methods and tactics which are especial
ly characteristic in the elimination of the work
ing masses from active participation in battle:
(c) The absence of revolutionary cadres
which are able to carry through the aggressive
and militant struggles required at this nour
In spite of formal acceptance of the lineof the
Fourth Congress Of the R.IL.U. and of the
tasks assigned by the Sixth Congress and the
Tenth Plenum of the Comintern no serious
attempt has, as yet, been made to carry this
turn into action.
I'D Failure to carry on sufficiently ener-
getic struggle against opportunsm in the
traSe unions, and to take organizational meas
ures in good time.
q. 1t is the duty of the Party to take all
steps necessary to bring about change in
the work and activities of the revolutionary
unions and Of the T.UU.L. This is its major
political task at this moment. To accomplish
this task is the duty of the whole Party. A
thoro survey must be made of the conditions
of work of the TU.U1. in all sections of the
Party and detailed and concrete plan Of action
must be worked out, to be followed.
(a) The 'defunct Party fractions in the
TUUL and in the revolutionary unions must
be reorganized and must be continuously di-
rected by the Party, Thru these fractions the
Communists must insist upon a fundamental
change in the work and methods of the revo-
lutionary unions and of the 1.U.UL. Mass self
criticism and mass control in the carrying out
Of the new methods must be applied.
(b) The Party press and especially the
Dai1 met ba tbo
ing and revolutionizing of the unions and of
the TUUL. Especially the sections of party
life" and of workers Correspondence" in our
Party press must be modified for this pur-
pose. Special attention must be paid by the
Party press to work of the Party in this field
thru concrete criticism and constructive sug
gestions. The whole Party and the Party
press must ruthessly criticize all Party sec
tons tht lay behind in their work in this
field.
(c) The Party must pay major attention TO
the strengthening of the Party cadres in the
TUUL. The Party must effect systematic
redistribution of its forces in the center and in
the districts This redistribution must be car
ried through on scale large enough to give
a minimum guarantee of serious change in
the work of the TUUL.
(d) In the campaign to strengthen and
build the revolutionary unions and the TUUL
the Party members must be the most energetic
fo:ce. Through their fractions they must mob
ilize the complete membership of the unions
for the organization campaign and must bear
the brunt of the agitational and organizational
tasks. The Party press and the Party appara
tus must lend its full support to this campaign
and must mobilize all of its departments for
this purpose
,e) The Party and it's fractions must or
ganize and train worker correspondents for
Labor Unity" to help make this paper mil
liant mass organ accepted by the masses of
workers as its spokesman and its leader. The
Party fraction is obliged to work for an i'm
mediate Improvement of the leading staff of
the paper.
25. The Party and its leading committees
must Immediately initiate a most energetic
campaign for the carrying out of the revo-
lutions of the Fourth Congress of the RILU.
This requires definite campaign for greater
Capitalization and more firm organization Of
the revolutionary unions. The loose locals and
the poor dues-collection system are incompat-
ible with strong fighting organizations. The
must be drastically remedied. There must be
a more intimate consolidation of the revolu-
tionary unions with the National Committee
of the TUUL and the decisive strengthening
of the latter's national departments. A de-
finite turn in all plans of work IN the revolu-
