T.U.U.L. Policy for the Building
Trades


we have a general program for all the locals of
A. F. of L. building trades
1t is equally true that as Bolsheviks we must
adjust our tactic accordingly. Communists are
dialecticians and not straight line scholastics.
We must fit in our tactics to the specific con-
ditions existing in this or that local in order
to realize our program In certain locals where
we have followers for the line of the T.U.UL.
we should not hesitate to come out with our
program. This does not however, apply to
those locals where we have not as yet organ
lied T.U.U.L. groups. 1t is in these locals
where we have little or no contact that we
must Systematically agitate; not for progress
sive groups as Comrades Fisher and Severino
believe, but on the contrary, for the program
of the T,U. L. and for T.U.UL. groups
All the campaigns of the Party (such as
Election Campaign, Daily Worker etc. must
be brought forth in the locals of the A. F. of
L. The time is ripe. We cannot be satisfied
with agitation only. The time demands ac-
tion The workers are waiting for our leader
ship. The government and the fakirs of the
A. F. of L. are becoming more fascist from
day to day and the workers are becoming more
radicalzed
At this time it must be clear that we cannot
carry through without sacrifice Certainly ex-
puISIOHS VIII TAKE place. we VIII certainly be
victimized and blacklisted on the job. Should
this be reason why we should hide the pro-
gram of the T.U.U.L. from the workers who
belong to the fascist union as some comrades
expressed themselves? The line of these com
rades if taken seriously would lead to capitula-
ton before tn fakirs of the A. F. of L.. and
would discredit us in the eyes of the great
masses of the building trades workers. Com
rades Fishers and Taylor's articles that ap-
peared in TIN Daily Worker on Monday June
9, prove conclusively that these Comrades have
not as yet stepped out from the second period,
and annot orientate themselves to the demands
of the present period. They hesitate to apply
the line of the T.U.U.L., they cannot see be-
yond the American Federation of Labor The
unorganized workers do not count "Since they
cannot be organized"
AS matter of principle they accept the line
of the Party, but to apply it--that's different
matter They attach a string of butts to it and
accept a line which leads away from correct
line to a right opportunist line. This line of
these comrades must be fought bitterly We
must activize the members of the Party on
the basis of the correct application of the Party
line. Those that cannot follow must be swept
aside because they will only mislead and dis
turb the work of the Party
Comrades Let us unity our ranks let us
take more responsibility on our shoulders. The
period demands it, and we cannot afford to
wait and hesitate. Forward to mass TU

Take for instance the defenders Of capitalism
who have been most conspicuous in the public
eye during the last few months.
First, the clergy. The barbarous record Of
these fellows is too we'll known to need repeat
ing A few months ago, seeing their old friend
capitalism weak and wobbly, in the midst Of
a deepening economic crisis, these black reac-
tionaries rushed to the aid of the big business
burglars with prayers of hate against the So
Wet Union and vague babbngs about mythical
religious prosecutions. The Soviet Union, at
that time forging ahead, building Socialism
and rapidly realizing her Five-Year Plan an
swered these prayers by absorbing more work
ers into her industries and completing in record
time the Turkish railroad the first Socialist
railroad in the world. The militant workers
all over the world, in answer to the prayers of
a capitalist clergy declared their solidarity with
the Soviet workers and pledged themselves to
defend the Soviet Union.
This gave considerable worry to the capital
lists, who were busily engaged building cruisers
and preparing armed attack against the
Soviet Union. The clergy having failed them,
they began to scout for new agents.
Whalen, Forger, on the Job
They did not have to scout long Whalcn
and his band of forgers were soon on the job.
Whaen, who is famous in capitalist circles
chiefly for the murder of Steve Katovis and
the clubbing of thousands of workers who dared
to protest against unemployment, was ready
to produce forged documents against the Soviet
Union. These documents, however, were quick
ly proved false; and from the Soviet Union
came reports of increased production of COM
modities in the U.S.S.R. at the time capitalist
trade showed a decline of 20 to 30 per cent

MEXICO CITY, Oct. 14.-what i
referred to in the local press as
strong political CONFUSION" that
has engaged the attention Of Mex
leo for the past two weeks Is believed
by observers TO be In the process
OF capitalization in favor of Presi-
dent Ortiz Rubio and what might
be termed the administration group.
Apparent developments tending
to show this were the resignation Of
Emilio Portes Gil, former president,
as president OF the revolutionary
party, which controls the political
organization of the country that
supported President Ortiz Rubio's
candidacy.
For the past fortnight Mexico City
has been replete with periodical
alarming rumors that a political up
set was impending. That these ru-
mors were not entirely fabricated
is obvious with the comings and 60
ings Of political figures and the sub
sequent Developments that have
taken place.
When President Ortiz Rubio took
office last February II was generally
believed that certain outstanding
figures of his predecessors admin
istration, among them Portes Gil.
himself. could not suddenly be cast
out Of the political organization and
the party that elected the president.
IL was. however, generally felt that
there would be a gradual wedding
out Of these figures In favor OF Pres
ident Ortiz Rubio's own selections
for the more influential positions.
Portes Gil was made chief OF the
cabinet at the time but after a
brief period resigned to become pres
ident Of the National Revolutionary
Party, a position that In many res
poets has greater political influence
than a cabinet post.
