Workers Bill Yet to date, the
Music leaders (Ramuglis, johnson,
TruaX) and the Socialist leaders
(Lasser, Fox, etc. have not carried
out single decision in regard to
united front and unity that was
made by the rank and file delegates

The record Of the National I'M
employment Council, on the other
hand, during the whole period, has
been a record of struggle for Fede
eral Unemployment and Social m
surance, for the united front and
unity. Wherever the opponent orr
CARNATIONS exist in the field to-
gether With the National Unemploy-
ment Council, it is the National
Unemployment Council that has
taken the initiative in proposing
and carrying through the united
front The answer of the Socialist
and Musteite leaders to their own
rank and file that has formed the
united front with the National IN
employment Council, has been exc
pulsiOns and threats of epuxlsion,
as in New York, Ohio, Pittsburgh,
Baltimore, Washington, etc.
Prepare for January Congress
Unity is the outstanding issue in
the coming struggles. A bitter win
ter is ahead. The united front and
the merging of all unemployed or
CARNATIONS must not be postponed.
Every effort must be exerted to
force the Socialist and Music lead
ers to change their position. This
is the task of the rank and file
of these organizations, whom we
must assist in every way But If
these leaders will not alter Their
position, then unity must be achiev-
ed in spite of them.
The National Unemployment
Council, as leading participant in
the National Arrangements Com
mittee for the National Congress
for Unemployment and Social In
Surance, calls upon the leaders Of
the Socialist Party, particularly
Norman Thomas, and of the Social
ist and Music controlled unemployed
organizations, publicly to state their
position on the National Congress
and on unity Of the unemployed
organizations.
county and state bodies Of all or
CARNATIONS to take up the call for
the National Congress and TO par
ticipate in the local, city and county
arrangements committees in thu
preparations for the National Con-
gress. This Congress must be made
a gathering point for all sincere ele-
ments that are fighting for the
/ interests of the unemployed and for
genuine unemployment insurance.
We urge all local, county and
state organizations of the National
Unemployment Council to form the
united front with the other unem-
ployed organizations that are ar

National Unemployment Council To-
Gals shall none-the-lesS participate
with their own slogans, demands,
banners, ETC.; shall fraternize with
the rank and file and bring about
unity In action over the heads Of
their splitting leaders.
The National Unemployment
Council also appeals to the rank
and file of the opponent unemployed
organizations and to their local and
county bodies TO form unity groups
and to carry on a struggle within
their organization to build the
united front in action with the Ma
tional Unemployment Council, at
relief bureaus, in demonstrations,
ETC., so that in January, in spite
of the leaders and their splitting
policies, covered though they are
with sham radical" phrases, the
unemployed may unite their ranks
and these leaders be exposed before
the whole working class as obstruc-
tors OF the unity of the unemployed,
