its use. Her paramount interest no
longer concerned Stuart Logan. It
was centered in Count Carlos and his

The Renegade Cliques at the
Unemployment Conference

consider their political spokesman:
Norman Thomas.
So They Are Building Socialism
In the Soviet Union!
In the resolution committee of the
conference was one Trotzkyite. A
resolution was introduced calling for
recognition of and long term credits
to the Soviet Union. The resolution
committee added "where they are
building Socialism and have already
abolished unemployment" The young
Trotzkyite objected to this, stating
that he is opposed to the idea that
Socialism can be built in one country,
and thst he would vote against it.
However, after consulting his caucus
in the conference. he returned and
stated that he would vote for it! The
resolution was adopted unanimously.
Weisbord Was Also There
How could it be avoided To prove
that he is "still earnest" about the
class struggle, he proposed a general
strike. No, the conference did not go
into a paroxysm of enthusiasm. 1t
listened to him and then he de-
parted.
A few Trotssyites supported the
Trotzkyite proposal for six hour
day, five day week, with no reduc-
ton in pay'-just like the proposal
of Green and Francis Perkins. But
the rank and file in the conference
properly exposed it as coming from

I matter"
On this line recently a consider
able'number of men have Joined the
Union-but the problem of getting
them to do something" requires the
consolidation Of these new members
into ship groups and committees, by
the Ship Delegates and Port Organ
izers, which will then provide the ne
cessary organization and leadership
to fight against the rotten conditions.
Getting the Men to Do Something"
Around this question Of getting
the men to do something" the dis
oussion mainly centered. Blanca, re-
porting for the Buro, pointed out
| that "the first task of the ship de-
legate is not to see how many men
he can line up, but how many guys
he can involve in the struggles for
lettering the conditions and fighting
against wage cuts and out of these
struggles will come the members Of
the Union and the establishment of
solid organization on the ships"
Blanca dealt in detail with some
of the recent struggles on the Mum
son Line ships where, by utilizing
the sentiment against the practice
Of withholding the crews pay, the
Union had been able on number
of occasions to unite the crews on
this issue and force the company to
grant their demands. Blanca en-
phasized that on all ships there are
issues around which the crew can be
rallied if the Union has contact with
these ships through Ship Delegates
and if the ship delegates make cor
rect use of these issues as basis
for organizing ship committees.
Persistent Friendly Approach
The report Of one delegate par
ticularly illustrated how persist
emit, but friendly, approach can break
down many prejudices and illusions
that stand in the way of organiza-
ton. He had concentrated on ship
with a mixed crew. Negro and white,
where racial prejudice was very
strong. Through making use OF the
Marine Workers Voice" and the
Daily Worker, and through his stress,
especially the Scottsboro case, he had
been able after a few trips to win
the confidence of the majority of the
crew, lined up several members, both
Negro and white, and laid the ba-
sis for ships committee. Intoler-
ant attitudes toward workers who
were not members or did not COM
pletely agree with us was criticized
by many of the speakers.
Seamen Ready for Union and
Struggle
Speaker after speaker reported on
the organizational results that can
be obtained when the proper ap-
proach is used. One Ship Delegate
reported lining up IL members in
few trips. This was accomplished
largely through the correct coordina-
ton of work between the Ship De-
