"Next Steps"

NEW YORK-A the first meeting
of the National Buro of the Unem-
ployed Councils a full review of the
Hunger March to Washington was
made and the next steps in the strug-
gle to compel the U. S. Congress TO
enact the demands Of the sixteen mil
lion unemployed in this country for
winter relief and unemployment in
Surance was mapped out.
The following steps are proposed:
1. Local Struggles
l. Local struggles shall immedi-
ately be inaugurated in every locality
for general relief, and shelter of the
homeless, and clothing and food for
the children.
III. County Marches
I. County marches shall be under
taken in all sections for relief, also
against foreclosures on homes Of the
small homeowners.
Wherever there are farmers in the
vicinity, united front struggles shall
be effected between the workers and
the farmers.
On the basis of the local struggles,
reaching higher phase of develop
ment, we will be able to mobilize such
pressure as will compel the U. S. Con-
gress to pass the Relief and Unem-
ploynenS Insurance Bill.
III. State Actions
I. State legislatures in all the
states open in the first part Of jan
uary State marches must be or
ganized on the basis of the broadcast
united front. Conferences should be
held in every city and town and
wherever possible embraces also the
veterans and farmers, in order to
demand state relief, which at the
present time is totally inadequate and
is being cut down. These demands
must be linked up with the demand
for federal relief and unemployment
insurance.
The recent elections showed a gen.
eral sweep to the Democratic Party.
Therefore on the basis of the pledges
anu VI OIlllSCo lildhC ny IAOOoCfCAO anu
the Democratic Party during the cleo
ton campaign we must compel the
state legislatures to keep the pledge
that Roosevelt made that 'no one
will suffer from hunger and cold"
These state marches shall be a
highpoint in the development Of the
struggle.
". Against Our Enemies
I. In carrying on the struggles
each local and district must concrete
" expose the organization hostile to
the unemployed movement, whose
aim it is to split the movement.
Roosevelt's fake promises; the at
tempt of the ALL. convention to sab
otage the fight for unemployment in
surance, excellently exposed by the
ALL. Rank and File Committee for
Unemployment Insurance, which held
its conference in Cincinnati at the
time of the ALL. convention; the
Socialist Party which records the
Change of Attitude" of the ALL.
burocrats as a radical turn; the
Borders outfit Deague for Industrial
Democracy, for self help" to re-
lieve the capitalists and government
of the need of providing for the IN
employed, Stuart Chase and others
must all be exposed before the masses
as organizations and actions spon-
sored by the boss class to prevent
unity of the workers in the strug
gle for relief and unemployment in
surance.
a. 1t is necessary to penetrate these
unemployed organizations and at the
same time to call for the broadcast
united front in struggle for immedi-
ate local relief.
b. A strong campaign must be con-
Quoted against Hoover's Stagger Plan
which is supported by the ALL. bu-
rocrats and is being openly carried
out under the direction Of Walter G.
Teagle of the Standard Oil Company.
This means a direct wage cut to mill
lions of workers! At the same time
we must organize joint actions with
the unions and the workers in shops
against lay-offs, and fight for i'm
mediate local relief, drawing the
masses of workers into struggle
against forced labor, which is becom-
ing very widespread and which the
