The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1932-05-07

In wages and for the 6-hour day. never intending
to fight against the wage cut but merely to Sc
cure the confidence of the miners. Already they
are, through agreements as to stoppage,
causing the Generalization of the miners and
laying the basis for the wage cut which they
have already accepted in part in the negotiations
they are now carrying through.
The RILU pointed out that we in this country
have reduced the united front to mere formula
which is the same for all occasions 1t pointed
out that the forms of the united front tactic
must be varied depending upon the special con-
ditionS In each instance, that we must not be-
heve that because Of the growing rehabilitation
Of the masses all necessity to rnaneuver In or
der to defeat the reforists is no longer necessary
On the contrary the growing rehabilitation Of
the masses, the consequently increasing use Of
denlagogy and maneuvers on the part Of the
fascist and social fascist leadership Of the A. F.
OF L. requires greater rnaneuvering on our part
But that while we must vary the forms Of the
united front while we must take the initiative
in the fight for unity which the workers are
pressing for we must never deviate from the fol-
lowing basic content Of the united front tactic
from below. The united front organs should be:
1. Formed for the struggle against the en-
poyers. s
O. Elected by the workers in TIE factories
3 They should consist of workers Of various
tendencies.
L. They should not substitute for revolution
airy trade unions. 40.
Con1rade Staclael dealt briefly in the course OF
his report on the work among the unemployed
and the work inside the 'reforfnist unions since
there we're special reports on these two ques-
tons
Fight Against White Chauvinism.
The final point in the report was the work
among the Negro masses. Sharp criticisms were
made with respect to work Of the revolutionary
unions among the Negro masses and in the
first place regarding the work Of the TUUL
Bureau itself. Two points were particularly en-
phasized. That while we tslk generally. about
the winning Of the Negro workers for the trade
unions we have made no real steps forward In
putting forward special concrete demands for
the Negro workers. Where demands are being
put forward they are Of the most general char
acter such as equal pay for equal work., but
the concrete demands for the Negro miners,
steel workers, ETC., are not being put forward.
This was clearly seen in the complaints raised
by the Negro miners In the recent convention Of
the National Miners Union. Secondly, that the
revolutionary unions do not carry on struggle
against the existence OF white chauinisnl In the
ranks OF the revolutionary unions. 1t pointed
out that not always does this white chauvrism
expose itself openly but hides itself under many
flags. We have not been sharp in unearthing
and exposing this concealed form Of white caau-
yin.s.n. One OF the manifestations OF this white
cilauvinisEn is the failure to put forward and
develop lsading cadres- from among the ranks
OF the l-egro members OF our unions.
War Danger Center of All Our Work.
Throughout the report Cornraoe Stachel en-
phasized that IN all our work We must bear In
mind that already war RACES In the Far East.
That japanese imperialism isn't only making war
on the Chinese people, but is moving closer and
closer to the borders OF the Soviet Union. That
U. S. imperialism is doing everything possible
to hasten the attack OF the Japanese imperial
lists against the USSR as part Of its struggle for
heSemony in the Pacific. That the u S is
carrying on double faced policy 1t is shipping
munitions to Japan to be Lced a. a.-st the Chi
ilese people and aga..s the UE IT.. From this it
follows that we must do al in our power to mo-
Billie the masses against U. s. imperialism,
against the ruthless imperialism Of Japan and
FOR the Defense OF the Soviet Union. This re-
quires that we undertake Immediately practical
steps with regard to the work in the basic in
dustries, in the munition plants and to stop the
shipments Of war supplies and munitions. This
requires not change from the detailed prac-
teal day to day struggles in the factories for
some general activity but the contrary the
most painstakng attention to these tasks.
