union work. The first article stated the short
sonings of the Trade Union Unity League

Groupss-Edftor)
Concentrate m Decisive Sections.
WHICH are the decisive sections upon which
" we must concentrate? They are: metal,
automobile, mine, chemical rail and marine
transport industries. In the most central points
OF these Industries, in the largest factories, must
be concentrated the greatest attention and
forces Of the revolutionary trade unions and OPP
positions within the reactionary unions.
To utilize all ways and possibilities for pene-
tration into these factories, to organize there
factory groups of the revolutionary trade union
delegates, factory committees, for the purpose
of developing under favorable conditions and on
the basis Of concrete demands of the militant
masses their economic struggles, to endeavor to
create in the fire of battle, strong, really mass
revolutionary trade unions and to anchor these
unions organizationally in these central sections
this is the work Of concentration.
These important central points upon which 1t
is necessary for us to concentrate are the fol-
lowing: Pittsburgh, the mine and steel indus
tries; Cleveland, steel; Chicago, mining, steel
and food; Detroit, automobile; Philadelphia,
STEEL mining and textile; Boston, textile; Buff
falo chemical; New York, sea transport, needle
and textile industries.
The concentration of our basic attention and
forces In these most important branches Of in
dustry in the chief industrial centers and largest
mills and shops does not mean, must not be
understood in the sense that such unions as
the needle trade workers, food, textile, shoe and
leather workers, and others, do not deserve our
attention that they have to be left alone that
they are to play the role of step-children in the
revolutionary trade union movement in the
United States. Not one section Of the working
class. not one, even the most insignificant Or
ganization should be left without attention and
leadership on the part of the central organs
OF the revolutionary trade union movement
This must be understood only in the sense
that the chief and most basic problem for the
revolutionary trade union movement is to pene-
trate into decisive branches of industry and
shops and the most important industrial dis
tricts, to create there strong starting points,
actual mass militant trade union organizations,
The existing revolutionary trade union organ
izatiors in these sections which unite workers of
other branches Of industry must render all pos
sible aid in this respect. This aid must express
itself in cooperation for the purpose of establish
ing contact with workers of large factories OF
the basic branches of the industry, in the CO.
operation in mass recruitment of new members,
in the penetration of the shops, and in finan-
ciaI aid
To systematically and With Increased Energy
Develop Our Work in the Reactionary
Trade Unions.
In spite of the numerous resolutions of the
RED International of Labor Unions, well as the
authoritative decisions of the TUUL regarding
the necessity Of increasing the work in the reac-
tiorary unions in spite of the fact that the Fifth
Congress OF the Red International Of Labor
