The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1931-11-11

The bosses are trying to find
way out of the crisis through war
and principally through an attack
against the Soviet Union. At this
moment, we witness the sharpen
ing of the war danger, the mobiliza-
ton of all the vassal states ber-
dering on the Soviet Union by the
imperialists, and the open war
steps by Japanese imperialism
around the Manchuria attack.
The United States is constantly
increasing its expenditures for
war, while there is not a penny
for the unemployed. We must ex-
pose the war moves against the
Soviet Union, bring before the
masses the meaning of the attacks
on the Soviet Union, and how this
is part of the enslavement of the
workers of the United States.
While intensifying our agitation
against war and for. the defense
of the Soviet Union, we must re-
member that only if we take steps
to organize the workers in the key
industries of war preparation
(steel, chemical, marine, railroad,
etc. we will be able to make good
our pledge to the defense of the
Soviet Union. We must give all
support in building the Friends
of the Soviet Union. The T. U.
u. L. unions must also take up
the struggle of the masses in the
colonial countries exploited by
United States imperialisms, give
every possible assistance to their
struggles, and give more attention
to the winning of the masses OF
these colonial countries in the in
dustries Of the United States
Uatin-American, Philippines, etc..
OF particular importance are the
Latin-American workers, as the
drawing into the revolutionary
trade unions Of these workers will
give living expression to the soli-
darity pact signed by the T.U.U.L.
and the Latin-American Federation
of Labor and will facilitate the
carrying out of our duties to these
neighboring countries oppressed by
American Imperialism.
All the enumerated tasks cannot
be carried through without a real
and decisive turn to work In the
shops. The main weakness of the
T.U.U.L. unions, its main unpre-
paredness to organize the resistance
of the workers to the wage-cut
offensive, is the lack of contact
and organization inside the shops.
Without overcoming this weakness,
it will be impossible to carry
through the task of organizing the
workers for struggle, to win the
masses still under reformist influ-
ence, to build the mass unions OF
the T.U.UL. The failure to develop
the struggles of the workers in the
basic industries is due primarily
to the lack of contacts and organ
lied work in these factories. This
must be overcome first by reor-
ganizing the existing membership
of the T.U.UL. unions on a shop
basis. But this is not the solution
to the problems, since the T.U.U.L.
unions have little membership in
these basic industries (steel, chemi-
cal, etc.). We must take the first
steps to establish contacts in these
factories and organize shop groups
of our unions as the basic form OF
our unions. At the same time, our
groups must take the initiative to
organize broad united front COM
The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1931-11-11

Our unions, in order to be able
TO organize and struggle against
the offensive, must pay special at
tention to the work among the
various sections of the workers,
raising special demands and using
methods necessary to win these
masses. Until now, the work among
the Negro masses, work among the
women workers and among the
young workers, has been taken up
in a formal manner. In order to
really appreciate the importance OF
this work, and to make serious eff
forts to win these masses, it is
necessary to realize the role played
by all these masses in the class
struggle. The Negro workers have
displayed an increasing militancy
and willingness to struggle (miners'
strike, unemployment in Chicago,
Camp Hill, around the Scottsboro,
etc.. This must mean for us the
exertion Of all our efforts to Or
ganize the struggle of these masses,
to formulate special demands in the
strike struggles, in the struggles OF
the unemployed, In the interests Of
these masses. This requires that
we mobilize the white workers to
struggle for the demands Of the
Negro masses, against all forms OF
discrimination with regard to dis
missals from the job, in the hiring
Of workers, In receiving Of umem-
ployment benefits, etc. The T.U.UL.
unions must set up live functioning
departments and committees of
white and Negro workers, for work
among the Negro masses and work
out concrete programs Of action. The
unions must check up that these
plans do not remain on paper but
that they become part Of the every
day work Of these organizations.
To achieve this the Negro depart
ment in the center, which was Or
ganized and began to function, shall
receive much more attention and
assistance.
Weaknesses in Negro Work.
The greatest weakness OF the
TU.U.L. unions in Negro work IS a
tendency to confine their activities
to the propagation OF general slo-
gans for equality and general po-
htical demands Of Negroes, but not
to develop concrete demands for
the Negroes and to conduct an ac-
tive struggle for the Negroes econ
omic demands and against all forms
Of segregation and discrimination
on the basis Of concrete facts and
cases. This is exemplified by the
exclusion Of Negro women from the
women's auxiliaries and discrimina-
ton against Negroes in the dis
tribution Of relief (mine striker,
failure to defend the grievances OF
Negro workers in the shops and to
develop the solidarity Of black and
white workers against specific wage
cuts directed against Negroes
tneedle), failure OF the railroad
and marine unions to develop dek-.
The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1931-11-11

L. has practically no organization.
At the present time there is grow
ing resistance on the part Of the
masses In these unions, to the
treacherous politics of their Off
Gals. These masses also suffer
from unemployment. In the build
ing trades, more than SO per cent
OF the A. F. Of L. membership is
unemployed. In the railroad unions
large sections OF these workers are
unemployed and working part time.
All these conditions furnish a basis
for and make very urgent that we
undertake serious and systematic
work in the reformist unions. With
out such work it will be impossible
not only to win these millions OF
masses to our banner of struggle,
but even TO organize the struggle OF
the unorganized workers.
Some False Theories.
Until recently there had devel-
oped on the basis Of our failure to
carry on work In the reformist
unions q number OF false theories
to the effect that all the workers
in the old unions are aristocrats
Of labor, If not 1ascists; that it is
impossible to work in the old
unions, etc. But our feeble be-
ginnings In recent months have
shown that because OF the radical
ization Of the workers In these or
carnations, 1t Is now, in spite OF
all difficulties, more possible than
ever to carry on effective work
in the old unions, and that the
masses readily follow our pro-
gram. Because OF our failure to
work In the refor1nist unions, it
was possible for the Musteites and
LoveStoneiteS In number of
unions to take hold Of the oppoSi-
ton movement which was veering
into our direction, and lead it back
to the channels OF the A. F. of L.
In the case Of the needle workers
union, where the Lovestoneites had
taken hold OF the opposition move
ment, we could nquidate their in
fluence and take hold of the opposi-
ton movements when we began to
carry on systematic work in the
old unions, and the correct policy
of the united front. This work,
which must be carried on also
within the locals OF the reformist
unions, can only be carried through
successfully II we organize the work
in the shops to win the members of
the reformist unions on concrete
struggles, and If we do not capitu-
late to hgalism and limit the
struggle merely on inner union
questions, but take up and organize
the struggles Of these masses
through independent leadership on

chens, etc. All. the unemployed
councils have representatives, of em7
ployed workers.
The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1931-11-11

Without carrying on real work
in the old unions, not only in those
industries where we have no
unions Of the T.U.UL. railroad,
building, etc., but also In the re-
formist unions that exist parallel
to the revolutionary unions min
ing, textile, marine, needle, etc.,
we will make it possible for the A..
F. of L. and the Musteites to main
tain their influence over and be-
tray the struggles of the masses,
we will be unable to organize real
mass struggles Of the workers and
build the revolutionary unions.
Special attention must be given to
work among the unemployed In the
reformist unions. The left wing
shall present its program at all con-
ferences, conventions, ETC., and
strive to elect its delegates as well
as all elective posts in the organ
iZations.
