GERMAN PRESS oUTspoKEN

BERLIN, June 27.-A large por- ton of the German press, respect ing the Governments request not to comment on the French mora torium reply to the United States, obeyed, but the more outspoken journals denounce the reply in the severest terms.
 One of the sharpest commentors, which surprisingly enough is the Democratic Boersen Courier, under the caption "Laval's Unsatisfactory Note," declared:
 "If the Hoover plan is an at- tempt to spin a thread of business and political understanding, this attempt will unspin it. The bur- dens of Germany are heavier than ever. Germany cannot be con- vinced that France is really sim cere in it's wish to effect a com munity of nations after such a reply is made"

The development of systematic
cultural work lectures, workers
affairs, questions and answers,
trade union courses, in the revolu-
tionary trade unions is one of
the most important tasks. For this
purpose we must utilize the Cul-
tural Federation.
The unions must strive to broaden
and improve the trade union press
and the central organ OF the
T.U.UL.-Labor Unity. The great
est attention and support in the
present time must be given to build
up the Mine Worker, the Marine
Worker, the Metal Worker and
others of our journals as real mass
organs. The building up of the
trade union shop papers has a
great Importance in the task of
preparing strikes. Labor Unity,
which now is too much detached
from the life of the unions, must
become the organ reflecting all the
struggles and inner life of our or
CARNATIONS. We must look upon
the trade union press as an i'm
portant instrument in the Develop
ment of the struggle, the leading OF

by the T.U.ULa. resulted in the

By carrying through these
measures the present situation in
regard to the absence of any real
democracy and rule from the top
by commands and orders will be
abolished, This will also be a real
turn towards solving the crisis OF
lack of functionaries which ham
pers the growth of our unions.
To put this line of the RIL.U.
into practice, every union must
work out concrete plan of work
and devise means by which all the
tasks embodied In the plan of work
will be carried through and con-

The unions must strive in the

the present chaotic situation with

be solved through the organization

A Decisive Turn to the Shops

It is the duty of the T.U.U.L. to
bring all its strength and deter
mination to carry through a de-
cisive trun towards building and
developing the trade unions on the
basis OF the shops. Through the
organization of shop branches,
transferring the main work and &C
tiyities of the union to the shops.
These shop branches which are the
basic organizations of the unions
are composed of all the members
of the union working in a given
factory, shop or mine, and unem-
ployed formerly employed in these
places, SO far as possible. These
branches elect their respective lead
ing committees. The factory
branches must divide their mem
bership In small groups, according
to shifts, sections and departments
OF the given place of work. The
leading committee OF the factory
group must maintain close connec-
lions with the smaller groups Tin
shifts, departments, sections) on the
basis OF permanent elected repre-
Sentatives from these groups to the
leading committee of the factory
groups.
The same procedure must be fol-
lowed in the building OF the local
organizations of the unions which
base themselves on the factory
branches, unemployed groups and
the individual members from shops
where there are not yet organized
factory branches and who live In
the given locality.
The factory branches, as well as
the local unemployed groups,
must meet regularly and strive to
give to every member of the group
concrete and specified tasks, max
ing these branches the driving
force of all the union activities in
the places of work. The tasks OF
the delegates and members OF the
union that are drawn in active
work are: Carrying out the de-
cisions. collecting Of dues, selling
papers and literature. and above
all, every member OF the union in
the shops and out of the shops
must be an active recruiter for our
unions.
The assignments Of functions at
the base must be accompanied with

The Wage>Cut Drive in Full Suing in N. Y.

On the whole, the new wage-cut-
ting offensive which followed the
U. S. Steel Corporation, has not yet
hit the organized trades with strong
T.U.UL. organizations. The only
attempt thus far has been on the
waterfront, where the bosses, fear
ing our influence, signed up with
the A. F. Of L. union, withdrawing
the wage-cut, but getting other
things equivalent to it from the
International Longshoremen's AS
ISOLATION officials, with Ryan at the
head.
The A. F. of l.. unions in the
building, needle and food trades are
rapidly declining in membership

Cooperation with workers mass

ternational Relief: With the ins
creasing strike activities of the reys
dictionary unions, the question of 8,

Importance. While each union it,
self must raise strike funds and un@
dertake to the best of its ability to
finance the strikes in its industry,
there is necessity for broad relief
organization to mobilize masses. Of
workers and sympathizers generally,
in support of major strikes. The
building of the WIR. therefore be-
comes an urgent question and must
be given all possible support by the
T.U UL. organizations.
CD The International Labor De-
tense: With the increasing terror
of the government, the bosses ana
fascist labor leaders against the
workers, the question of an organ
lied defense becomes increasingly
important. The T.U.UL. endorses
and supports the International La
Dor Defense, which is leading the
struggle for the release of Tom
Mooney, the Scottsboro boys, the
Harlan miners, the Centralia and
Imperial Valley and hundreds Of
other class-war prisoners. But at
the same time, the unions shall not
make the mistake of simply turn
ing over their labor cases to the
LID and letting the matter rest
there. They shall form joint de-
Tense committees with the LID,
and assume joint responsibility and
mobilize all possible support for the
release of the arrested workers.

are friendly to the revolutionary
unions and will lend cooperation

OF foreign-born workers. In past
struggles, these fraternal organiza-
tons have given their finances and
their halls to the use OF the STRIKE
ers and have carried on active CAM
paigns to enlist their members into
the unions. The T.U.UL. must
everywhere establish fraternal COM

ployment, etc.

a corresponding division of work in
the leading bodies of the union by
creating various departments (or-
ganization, cultural, relief, Negro,
