UNITY NEEDED TO WIN
DEMANDS

The Communist Party is fight
ing for the unity of the working
class as a whole against the cap
italist class.
The Communist Party, in put
ting forward these demands, calls
upon the millions OF workers and
farmers, Negro and white, and
particularly upon those workers
who until now have followed the
mis-leadership of the Socialist
Party and strikebreaking offic-
ials of the AFL, to unite their
forces in a determined fight for
these demands.
Particularly in every struggle,
even for the most modest de-
mands, the workers meet the
stubborn resistance of the cap
italists, who are always support
ed by the armed power Of the
state. This united front OF the
bosses, their government and the
strikebreaking AFL officials can
only be defeated through the
united actions of the workers and
all their organizations.
The Communist Party stands
for one united trade union move
ment of all industrial and alTi-
cultural workers, for a trade I'M
ion movement free of racketeer-
ing, for a trade union movement
having the fullest inner democ-
racy-for a united and militant
movement capable of effectively
uniting all workers, employed
and unemployed, for determined
struggle for improved conditions.
The above immediate demands
of the Communist Party can
serve as the basis for this united
front action of all workers and
farmers who are being oppressed
and starved by the rule OF mon
opoly capitalism.
Only united mass struggle
protest actions, demonstrations,
strikes, political strikes - can
block the capitalists offensive OF
fascism and war, and bring vic
tory to the workers and poor
farmers. The central guiding
slogan of the Communist Party
is the fight for working class IN
ity-fOr the united front.
