WASHINGTON, Nov. 28-After the
entire American working class had
suffered a 20 per cent wage cut,
amounting to nine billion dollars, &C
cording to the Standard Statistics
Co., the fascist head of the A. F.
of L., William Green, comes out with
fake protest" against wage slash
ing.
Green, who was one of the leading
figures in formulating the wage
cutting campaign with the big bosses
in Washington last November, real
ICES that IT, workers are fighting.
He finds it good policy, in the in
terest of the bosses, to make the
workers believe the A. F. of L. Of
ficialdom are really against wage
cuts.
What Worries Green.
Green is not interested in the
workers at all and says so. He is
he says, about the wrongs
that are being perpetrated against
the public" He is afraid that this
is going ITO undermine our (read-
capitaistD national economic struc-
ture at time when the leaders in
government and publc-spirited citi-
zens are striving to maintain wage
standards so that we can facilitate
and hasten a return to normal con-
ditions."
Here Green is plain liar He tries
to tell the workers, though wage cuts
are going on, the bosses government
and the leading bosses are not re-
Sponsible.

evidence of being "a public enemy"

A. MIC. AS Mass Organization
of Negro Workers

basic industries are good potential elements for
a mass organization, Such movements as the
Garvey clubs must be penetrated further. In
this organization, the rank and file have be-
come somewhat militant Yet they have been
deceived by false and corrupt leadership. This
leadership which built visionary dreams of
return to Africa which would be the establish
ment of Negro Imperialism, has robbed the
Negro masses of millions of dollars 1t has
not given them program of struggle, but in
its place dream that can't come true. =,
The Garvey movement does not put forth the
establishment of workers and farmers gov
eminent as in the Soviet Union. return to
Africa if possible, would mean the inhuman ex-
ploitation of the Negro masses by newly
created Negro bourgeoisie. This would come
about because of the pressure brought to COM
pete with the other imperialist nations.
The Garvey movement encourages the divi-
sion Of Negro and white workers, SO that few
corrupt Negro leaders may exploit the rank and
file. The leadership fails to see that only
through the solidarity of the Negro and Write
workers, fighting against their common enemy
the bosses, can the oppressed national minori-
tics win their struggle against the bourgeoisie
ard the right to self-determinatcn as has been
done in the Soviet Union.
The A.N.LC. as a broad mass organization
can prepare the Negro masses for greater
struggles. 1t can win great number of these
unorganized workers to our Patty by acting as
a bridge organization 1t can dspel that fear
and suspicion of the Negro workers to white
comrades and build united front of Negro and
white workers. 1t must fight for the admit
lance of Negro workers into trade unions and
organize Negro and white workers into in
dustrial unions, 1t must fight for the right of
the masses to have freedom of speech press
and assemblage. 1t must fight against all
forms of race hatred, segregation, political

The masses Of Negro workers must be or
gained for the struggle against international
imperialism, they must unite with the colonial,
European, and Asiatic workers in their struggle
American imperialist aggression in Mexico,
Haiti. Nicaragua, and other colonial countries
redoubles the task of the A.N.L.C. A great
number of workers who are not ready to ac-
cept our Party policy can be brought under
the influence of the A.N.L.C. In this Or
ganzaton the Negro workers of the U.S.A.
who are more industrialzed, can be developed
to become leaders of the oppressed colonial
Negro masses.
These many tasks can only be achieved
through the thorough and energetic work of
a mass organization functoning in reality as
a bridge between the Negro masses and our
Party. The present crisis affords our Party
the opportunity of greater direct contact with

Some Corrections in My Views on
Building Trades

simplfication of labor creates d constantly
growing unemployment situation never before

A. F. of l.. Unions.
4. The growing unemployment and the fact
that the building trades ALL. bureaucracy
will not and cannot lead the workers into strug-
gle for better conditions, the many betrayals
and sell-outs of the interests of the workers by
the A. F. Of L. fascist leadership is constant
ly leading to the consolidation of the forces
of revolt against the A. F. of L bureaucracy.
5. 1t now remains for comrades in the build
ing trades to consolidate and give leadership

ganization Resolution.
The argument in my previous article (at
June Daily Worker), that it is opportunsm
to apply the TU.U.L. line in those building
trades locals where we have no TU.U.L.
groups is correctly answered by the fact, that
where we have no T.U.U.L. groups wo can
not apply the T.U.U.L. line; and the TU.U.L.
groups are built around the T.U.U.L. program.

that made it physically impossible for me to
actively participate in the work among the
building trade workers, and basing my con-
illusions as to the applicability of the recently
formulated policy for work in the A. F. Of l..
Building Trades Union, mostly on hearsay and
not on careful study of both the Program and
Organization Resolution, and having since had
time to carefully study the T.U.U.L. Building
Trades Program and the Organization Resolu-
ton, feel it necessary to make the following
statement:
1. The deepening economic crisis in the
u. S. finds reflection in the rapidly growing
discomfort of the building trades workers
against the bureaucratic and fascist A. F. of
L. officialdom.
g. The fact that in May, 1929, the figures
for building construction were S540,000,000 as
compared to $21O000,000 May 1880. proves
that there is a sharp economic crisis in the
building trades industry.

The legalistic argument in my previous ar
ticle, that comrades will be Immediately eX-
PEELED if they present the program and the de-
mands of the T.U.U.L., does not held water
due to the fact that many of our comrades have
been expelled in the past not because they pre-
cented the program of the T.U.U.L., but be-
cause these comrades formed United fronts
with fake progressives from the top, instead
of united fronts from below, with the program
of the TU.U.L. as a hasis.
The present TU.U.L. program, based on
careful consideration of the situation in the
building trades industry, and the organization
resolution, which is based on the Program
will, if actively applied by our comrades in
the building trades unions, lead to the win
ming away of the majority of the building
trades workers from the A. F. of l.. fascist
leadership, and over to the TU.U.L., the revo-
lutionary trade union center, which will lay

THE economic crisis that has a firm hold in
the U.S.A. has keeny affected the 100000
Negro workers.. The crisis, with mass unem-
ployment and wage cuts, is far reaching among
the Negro poor farmers, agricultural laborers,
and workers. 1t has been plainly shown that
the first to receive lay-offs, wage cuts, and
evictions from their homes are the Negro work
ers. Those who are working have the most
mental jobs, laboWng under intolerable cond-
lions and working long hours This economic
pressure is driving the Negro workers into the
revolutionary wave. Among the rank and file
there is fast growing realization that this OPP
preston caused by the capitalist system of
inhuman exploitation be combatted only
thru struggle. More and more, they are organ
iZing into groups to throw off the yoke of
their opprescors. But in most instances the
leaders of these groups have proven false and
have betrayed the workers into the hands of
the bosses Many Of these organizations have
been without clear understanding as to the
real cause of the deep-growing crisis.
The Negro workers are doubly exploited,
both as Negroes and a. workers. They are in
en- unorganizcd state. The A. F. of L. has made
no attempt to organize these workers. A few
jim Grow locals have been set up and dis
elimination is practicod in others. In this
way the reactionary trade unions serve their
bosses by ptting one group of workers against
another. Dividing white workers and Negro
workers, using the latter as scab labor in
many instances, keeps wages low and causes
hatred which prevents organizing. In direct
contrast to this method Of the A. F. Of L., the
T.U.U.L. has program of struggle for Ne
gro and white workers alike. 1t organizes both
on the same basis into the same union and
vigorously fights against all forms of race
hatred.
The reformist organizations, such as the Ma
tional Association FOR the Advancement of Col
orcd People, .the Urban League, etc, have
failed misesably to give the Negro masses a
program OF action. Their feeble solution to the
economic problems of today does not rally sup
port from the rank and Tile Negro workers
These false leaders do not understand the basic
cause of the crisis since their interests are
not in common with the interests of the work
ers, and they help 70 perpetuate the capitalist
system of hatred between black and white
workers. Neither do they understand chat the
recent waves Of lynching are a part of the
capitalist system to perpetuate hatred between
the black and white workers.
The need of broad mass organization for
the Negro masses is quite apparent. Such
working class organization must have pro-
gram of struggle and must enghten and de-
velop the Negro worker to resist the growing
offensive of the bosses. The millions of rank
and file Negro workers who know of the class
struggle but are not conscious, nut be reach
