The Trade Union Unity League
of Greater New York and New Jer-
sey has issued a call for a conven-
ton to be held on January %, at
2;30 p. M, at Irving Plaza, 18th st.
and Irving Place. The call points
out the speed-up and intensification
of labor, wage cuts, unemployment
and growing industrial crisis, and
calls for the building of power
full trade union apparatus to resist
these attacks on the working class,
and for revolutionary struggle
against American imperialism.
The call issued by the T. U. U. L..
follows:
To all new unionsI
To all t. U. U. L. groups and
class conscious workers in A. F. of
L. unions!
To all shop committeesi
To all unorganized workers!
Negro, white, women and young
workers-to all unemployed work.
ers! Fellow workers:
The bosses, bankers and trust
magnates under the direct initiative
of President Hoover, have declared
war on the wages, hours and work
ing conditions of all American
workers. AS result of the de-
veloping economic crisis in this
country, as expressed in the Wall
Street crash, the Hoover Fascist
Council with the aid of VIM. Green,
reactionary chief of the A. F. of L.,
is conspiring to put thru general
We cuts, and further increase the
speed-up. The capitalists and their
government wish to ward off the
crisis and make good the billions
lost in Wall ST., by driving down the
living standards of all workers,
especially the unorganized, semi
skilled, and unskilled workers.
AS a result, we find wave of
wage cuts sweeping the country.
All kinds of new speed-up schemes,
and new labor saving devices ira
tionalization) are forced upon the
workers in every industry. This
taxes the physical endurance to the
limit, and drives ever larger num-
bers of American workers to the
scrap heap. A worker at the age
of 40 is considered too old to work,
and is fit only for the poor house.
The intense speed-up requires the
muscle and energy of young work
ers, Mo are rapidly displacing
ad, s in industry.
Millions ace Starvation.
The crushing speed-up and inten-
sification of labor are throwing mil
lions permanently out of the indus
tries. The growing industrial crisis
further increases the army of I'M
employed. Millions are on the
Threshold of starvation.
The spirit of revolt and militant
offensive struggle against the
bosses is sweeping over ever larger
sections of workers. The heroic
strike of the southern textile work
ers, the present struggle of thou
sands of coal miners in Illinois, the
numerous strikes in New York and
New Jersey, ETC., demonstrate the
growing discomfort and readiness of
broad sections of workers to fight.
The Trade Union Unity League, the
militant leader of every struggle
against naturalization and for bet
ter conditions, aims to unity these
struggles into a general offensive
struggle against the bosses and the
war danger.
War Danger.
American capitalism is deeply in
volved in the world crisis of CAPT
talism. Due to classification of in
dustry and the ruthless exploitation
of the workers, the tremendous
over-production and lack of mar
kets create no outlet for American
imperialism, but struggle for the
world markets-which means war.
War first of all against the work
ers and peasants of the Soviet
Union, who are making tremendous
progress in building up socialism
thru the five-year economic plan.
American imperialism is leading the
conspiracy to attack the Soviet
Union because the Soviet Union is
a living inspiration to the workers
of the world. The Russian workers,
as a result of the overthrow of
capitalism, have in a few years
raised tremendously their living
standards, because they own and
direct the factories and their gov
eminent.
The Trade Union Unity League,
the new trade union center, based
on the platform of militant class
struggle, calls upon the American
workers, especially the unorganized
and the most exploited sections of
the American working class, the
Negro workers, young workers and
women workers, to rally to the
struggle against the war danger,
the bosses and their fascist agents
in the labor movement, the A. F. of
L. misleaders, the socialists, the
Musteites and all fake progressives.
Role of A. F. Of l.. and fiusteites.
The fascist strike-breaking role
of the A. F. of l.. leaders and the
socialists stands especially exposed
in all its shameless nakedness, in
their open alliance with the bosses.
