carry On Mass Work Among Immigrant Workers
From Latin American Countries and Colonies
of the United States
IN the United States there are great masses
OF workers who come from the Latin American
countries and from the colonies of the United
States. These workers whose language is Spa
nish and who are subjected to the harshest ex-
ploitation of the capitalists must receive more
serious attention that heretofore The existing
section Of the TUUL for work among colonial
workers must draw into active work, worker i'm
migrants from these countries, who speak the
Spanish language and have contact with the
Latin American workers Such commissions
must be organized in the various revolutionary
unions. Special attention must be paid to the
agricultural workers.
Inc immediate problem of the revolutionary
trade unions in the United States is to carry
on broad recruiting campaign among the Latin
American workers for the revolutionary trade
unions, to establish active groups of workers, to
carry on agitational propaganda and cultural
work among them and also establish contact be-
tween the revolutionary trade union organiza-
tons of the United States and the revolutionary
trade union organizations of Cuba. Caribbean

Carry on the Work Among Women and Youth
This branch of our work still remains neglect
ed regardless Of all the numerous decisions on
This question. There is not one congress or con-
terence where we dorft find it necessary to in
clude special points regarding the work among
women and youth. Nevertheless in this branch
OF our work we still find disdainful attitude
There is a clear manifestation of the underesti-
nation of the Importance of this work
AT the same time the actions of the young
workers in the miners strike point the danger
which grows out OF this underestimation That
same youth which usually is the most militant
and active element, which demonstrates a great
deal of sacrifice and fearlessness in struggle
which in many cases was the first to Join the
struggle at the time of the miners strike, began
to waver and fall under the influence of the
reactionary leaders and was found in a great
measure among those who first returned to work
This is to be explained by the fact that there
were no special demands developed for the work
Ing youth, and secondly that no systematic train
ing was carried on among the young workers,
that the youth was not drawn into the everyday
work of the revolutionary trade union organiza-
ton in sufficient measure. In this respect,
we must take an immediate and determined
step.
In the same way, we must finally begin serious
work among the women workers, whose impor-
lance IN whole series Of industries, such as
textile, needle industry, is very great. The or
ganization of youth sections in the trade unions
special Women Commissions, special meetings of
working youth and women, the drawing them
into the active life of the trade unions, the cleo
ton OF them into various organs OF the union,
and their utilization for responsible work. the
inclusion in the general plan Of work of con-
crete tasks in the sphere of work among women
and youth-this is what we have to accomplish
in the immediate future
Establish Contact With the International
Committees in Industries
The decisions of the Fifth Congress of the
Profintern again underlined the need Of strength
ening the international committees Of industries
and the establishment OF better contact between
those committees and the corresponding trade
union organizations afiiliated with them 1t
must be stated, however, that with the exception
OF the revolutionary union Of transport workers
such contact with the International committees
In the revolutionary trade unions In the United
States Is non-existent.
IT is therefore essential that the coming plenum
OF the TUUL, should make 1t the duty OF all
the unions to get into contact with the exist
ing international committees without further
delay, to send regular reports regarding thei-
work, to follow and watch the decisions OF the
international committees and carry out the
directives here, and finally to inform the masse.
