unemployed and suppress their movements
During all large-Scale battles the socal-fascists
try to set the employed against the unemployed
and use the latter as strike breakers However
tn revolutionary trade union movement cannot
very we'll boast of the fact that it does eyerv-
thing possible to take the lead OF the movement
OF the unemployed and to mobilize these work
ers for the united class front Of the proletariat
for waging the struggle against the triple ALI
ance OF the employers, the bourgeois state and
social-fascsm, against the whole capitalist class
system breeding unemployment
During the preparations for last years cam
palgn OF International Day for Struggling
Against Unemployment many instances were
seen OF real mass upSurge in the unemployment
movement. When summing up the results OF
the campaign we established the significant
growth Of influence of the revolutionary trade
union movement over the unemployed and the
necessity for organizationally strengthening this
influence
When, however we try today to sum I'D the
results OF the work carried out among the un-
employed, we see how insignificant they are
Quite frequently these poor results can be ex-
planned by the opportulist underestimation of
work among the unemployed, by the remains Of
reformist contempt for them, or by the inability
to effectively take up this work from an Or
ganzational point of view.
For the Lining Up the Unemployed
The revolutionary trade union movement is
confronted with the task of rallying ideoogically
and organizationally the unemployed to its BAN
ner to recruit members into tho existing or
CARNATIONS Of the unemployed and to strengthen
these organizations.
The r. I. L. o. Sections arc faced with the
task OF setting up unemployed organizations in

those places where they are still nonresident
and OF lining up the unemployed into the ranks
of the revolutionary trade union movement
The lessons gained in the campaign last year,
all mistakes and shortcomings, will doubtessly
be taken into consideration this year.
All problems which had not been solved last
year. should be solved during the campaign this
year; network of local cat the labor ex-
changes, regional and central unemployed or
CARNATIONS should be established.
The revolutionary trade union movement is
confronted with extremely responsible tasks in
those districts where large-scale economic bat
ties are on are maturing. Here it is particu-
larly essential to consolidate to the maximum
the ranks of the employed and unemployed
These contacts should be established both along
lines of mutual representations on the strike
committees and unemployed committees, as we'll
as through point action.
Lately the social-fascists and fascists have
come to realize the serious danger which the
million armies of unemployed present to cap
italism. They are now trying to come out in
the role of defenders of the unemployed taking
some steps for organizing them, in order to thus
win their. confidence, and then break the strug-
gle Of the unemployed for their urgent and
everyday demands.
If our work among the unemployed continues
to remain weak, the social-faSciSts and fascists
are liable to win over the movement Of the I'M
employed and direct it along incorrect channels.
The organization Of the unemployed, mob
ilizing them for the revolutionary trade move
ment, setting up the united front of the work
ers employed and unemployed, under the lead
ershp Of the revolutionary trade union organ
izations-these are some of the most important
tasks of this campaign
The Fifth r. I. l.. U. Congress issued some
cear-cut drectives with regard to this qucs-
ton.
Feb. IS. the day Of militant class review, was
the day upon which we were to show how the
revolutionary organizations carried these out in
actual practice. \

LO, the Poor Convict!

Let's knock the edge OFF one OF these flair-ralS-
ing Fish stories of Soviet lumber camps! For
example let us take the gutter sheet N. Y tab.
loid daily. the evening Graphic" guaranteed
none dirtier.
The Graphic" in its magazine section of Sat-
urday, February %, published big double page
display story: Rcd Russia's Lumber Camps
Where Penal Seryitude Revives Oppression Worse
than the Knout!"
That's kinda awful, Amt it? And with it went
along some pictures, one of them of men work
ing in logging camp While it wasn't at all
visible, these men were supposed to be suffering
something terrible, and the caption given by the
Graphic said that it was photo" of political
prisoners working in the lumber camps amid ice
and snow"
Now it might occur even to a moron that any,
body, convict Or no convict who works in the
Northern Soviet lumber caps might make the &C
quantance of "ice and snow" But probably
Stain, the "despot" had deliberately inflicted ice
and snow on these poor victims of Red terror"
However, we happened to be looking over the
Economic Review of the Soviet Union for
March LIST, which was undoubtedly out in cir
cuaton before the Graphic story, when we spot
ted the identical picture used by the Graphic"
only here, in its original FORM it was given as
showing workers Loading lumber at Krasno-
borsk, South of Archangel"
What the Graphic" did was to take new
photo of the one shown in the Economic Re-
view" and then deliberately and knowingly put
a lying caption on it, in order to make it anti
Soviet SO much for forgery and fakery--and
that goes for all anti-Soviet propaganda!

No Slippery Memory Goes

1t seems that the principal tasks of the CON-
munist Party are easy to forget when some COM
rades mount the tribune. From Newark We
receive complaint about speaker from New
York Who speaking at Newark made Won
derful speech-"raising the revolutionary spirit
of the workers present to high level
The complainant gives full credit to the speak
er for what he said. But-but let him tell the
rest.
"But here comes BUT, and very big one.
It is about time that our comrades, at least the
leading comrades, learn this BUT. carefully
listened to the speech of Comrade - and, mind
you: Not single word about our trade unions,
neither our press! It's true that this affair was
held under the auspices of the l. L. D. But
since when are we going to build the I. L. d.
without the trade unions?"
So you see, orators that the Party workers
are paying attention not only to what you say,
but to what you don't say. So put some sand

Throwing Away Opportunities
From a District Org. Letter:

In the Fisher Body Plant in Cleveland, where
we have shop nucleus. wage-cut took place
a couple of weeks ago. Twenty-Five men, in
Guiding Party member out of a total of rs
workers in the department walked out What
was the duty of the Party member in this stu
alton? OF course, to bring the rs men to the
District T. U. u. L. office where an immediate
Plan of Action could have been worked out. We
have no doubt that a strike in this department
of this important plant would have resulted.
Instead, the comrade only reported the walk
to the nucleus meeting that evening. The re-
suit is that all went back to work the next morn
ing. We thus missed an excellent opportunity
to lead the workers in a struggle against wage
slashing. 1t was very serious mistake.

patch from Shanghai, telling how that tinid

Well, Chang. you dirty murderer, you might
as well be modest. Because there are several
great chunks Of China in which you dare not
stick your nose. Because there in the heart of
mighty China, is the Soviet Government of the
