the nine Scottsboro boys were hon

Brings Greetings From RIL.U.
Ford brought greetings from the
RIL.U. to the American workers.
The necessity of carrying out the de-
cision Of the R.IL.U.-to reorganize
the revolutionary unions on the basis
of factory and shop membership
was brought sharply before the con-
ference in Ford's 80 minute speech
The mounting strike struggles under
revolutionary leadership, the increas-
| ing number Of strikes won through
out the world since the beginning of
the crisis were reported, said Ford,
at the last Plenum Of the RILU.
side beside with the growing strike
strike struggles" continued Ford, sis
the increased treachery of the re-
formists, the left phrases of the So
cialists, Musteites and A. F.. of l..
leaders. These left phrases are used
to win the workers away from real
revolutionary struggle in the trade
unions. In organizing the workers to
strike, we must at all times carry on
a relentless struggle against these
misleaders."
Mistakes made by the revolutionary
unions and the left opposition were
Enumerated by Comrade Ford. The
r. I. L. U. sharply criticized the
improper development of the united
front in the various countries. A
sharp turn in the approach to fac
tories must be made-that is, organ
ization must begin at the point Of
productive. More work must be car
ried on in the reformist unions, in
side of the A. F. of L., so as to con-
solidate more correctly strong uni
ted front. The problems of organ
izing the unemployed, said Ford
must be brought to the very fore
front of the struggles Of the trade
unions.
1.-THE Negro workers" said Ford,
play the most important role in the
class struggle in America, as witness
sed in the unemployment struggles
in Chicago, the struggles in the south,
etc. The unions must now become
active in organizing the masses of
Negro workers around special de-
mands for Negroes.
1.-THE struggles of the colonial mas
ses, and especially the struggles Of
the Latin American workers, must
now be taken up by the American
trade unions not merely in words,
but through deeds, through struggle.
And paramount among all the strug-
giles is the organization of the masses
in the shops to defend the Soviet
Union
To Fight Injunctions
Joseph lack reported on the con-
T ditions of work in the city of New
York In pointing out that the r.
JUL is steadily forging ahead in the
New York District and have lead
considerable strikes against wage
cuts, etc, lack also pointde to the
insufficient shop work, the lack of
sufficient mass work in the shops and
factories.
Comrade zack went into the prob
lens of the struggle against injunc-
tons at great length.
Here is one of the most danger
Gus weapons in the hands of the bos-
ses," said lack, in discussing the in
junction, ut is through the injunc-
ton that the bosses say who shall
organize the workers and who shall
not. Through the injunction the
bosses give the A. F. of L. over one
trade. The struggle against the in
junction is one of the most important
struggles in our trade union move
ment."
w. e. Foster, who reported for the
National Bureau of the T. U. u L.,
received an enthusiastic ovation from
the delegates when he got up to
speak. He stressed the necessity of
modifying all froces to build the re-
volutionary trade union movement

throw all energy available to the task
Of building the Marine Workers In
dustrial Union to stop shipments of
war material to China. The marine
industry is the most strategic war
industry and we must commence now
to develop strikes on the ships and
docks against the shipment of arms
