AFL or other unions. We stand for
the policy Of working with the mas
ses of AFL unions for the purpose Of
winning the organizations for the
rank and file, for united struggle
against the exploiters. We stand for
the policy of united action of the
A. F. of l.. and TUUL for a common
program in the interests of the mas
ses, especially of the respective or
CARNATIONS in the same industry. At
the same time We are of the opinion
that many Of the unafhliated organ
izations of labor that have sprung
up in the course of the struggles re-
Gently can be united into the Trade
Union Unity League and thus
strengthen their fighting power In
order to make it possible to carry
through such Affiliations and in gen.
eral, to improve our organization on
the basis of the experiences since the
last convention when the TUUL was
first organized, the TUUL is organ
izing its convention on the broadest
possible basis affording adequate dis
cussion on such questions as pro-
gram and policies, constitution,
forms and methods of organization
international relations with other la
Dor organizations thruout the world
etc.
For Unity.
We believe that the various organ
izations, though they have differ
ences of opinion on a number Of i'm
portant questions, can be united on
the basis of the struggle for the most
basic needs of the workers. Such a
program must be based on the policy
of the class struggle and the COM
plete rejection of the ruinous policy
of class collaboration. 1t must I'M
dertake to defend all the economic
and political needs Of the masses.
1t must organize the struggle against
wage cuts, for wage increases; against
speed up; for the shorter workday
without reduction in pay; for ade-
quate relief to the unemployed and
for federal unemployment insurance
for equal rights for the Negro masses;
for all workers rights the right
to organize and strike; against in
functions, against deportations; for
free speech and sssemblage; against
the imperialist plans to attack the
Soviet Union and against another
world imperialist slaughter
The National Executive Board OF
the TUUL is ready to meet in pre-
liminary conferences with such indie
pendent workers organizations prior
to the convention, not alone to dis
N r,,Yaefia,,z Nf oa I1,,A
first and foremost how to develop
joint struggles of the TUUL unions,
AFL unions and independent unions
against the bosses attacks.
Intense Preparations.
The National Executive Board
calls upon all It's affiliated organiza-
tons to make the period from now
until the convention one of most in
tense preparation and immediate de-
velopment OF the struggle of the en-
ployed and unemployed workers. The
developing struggles Of the shoe
workers, the miners, as well as work
ers in other industries, must receive
the full support Of all the organiza-
tons. We must aim to develop the
widest united front actions of the
workers. Never before was unity of
the workers so necessary for defense
of the most vital interests of the
working masses

delegates, the agenda for the con-
vention, arrangements, methods of
financing, filing of resolutions, dis
cussion, etc, will be sent to the afil-
lated organizations and made public
