Communists Call for
Unity in Chicago on
the Basis of Struggle

The preliminary conference of
the Civic and Public Works Labor
Union, the Unemployed Councils and
locals Of the Chicago Workers Com
mittee on Unemployment, March 2,
after reviewing the situation among
the unemployed and the discontinue
alton Of the c. W. A. jobs, decided
to appeal to all workingclass organ
izations for one united front con-
ference to take up the struggle for:
"(1) Continuation Of the c. w. A.
projects.
"(2) Jobs or cash relief for UNI
employed, single workers included.
(3) For Unemployment Insur-
ance.
az Against racial discrimina-
ton"
Federation of Labor Endorses
"a delegation of 5, consisting Of
representatives of the aboye-men-
toned three organizations, appealed
to the executive body of the Chicago
Federation Of Labor, proposing this
immediate united front action. The
Chicago Federation Of Labor, at its
meeting in March. 1884, unanimously
endorsed these demands and en-
dorsed the proposal for a united
front conference, and agreed to
meet with the representatives of the
unemployed organizations and Civic
and Public Works Labor Union on
Saturday, March 10, to work out
concrete forms Of struggles and &C
tivity leading toward a city-wide
march of all workingclsss organiza-
tions in the city of Chicago. The
Executive Board Of the Chicago Fed
Grafton of Labor was instructed by
the delegated body to appoint a
committee for this purpose.
THE District Committee of the
Communist Party calls upon the
workers in the city Of Chicago, and
particularly the A. F. Of L. Railroad
Brotherhoods, independent unions,
unions of the T. u. U. L., organiza-
tons Of the unemployed, organized
and unorganiZed workers in the
shops, Negro, youth and women, to
unite in struggle for the above
enumerated demands.
To assure a united, citywide DEM
onstration, it is necessary that i'm
mediately the lower organizations,
locals, branches, form committees in
the factories and neighborhoods,
uniting the forces Of the working
class, developing local actions and
preparing for a particular mass
action. The whole city of Chicago
should be modified for these actions.
In the factories we must work toward
stoppage of work and, wherever pos
sible, leaving the shops, joining the
city-wide demonstration to establish
unity in action of the employed and
unemployed organized and morgan
lied workers.
viii Expose DiSrupters
1.-THE Communist Party will sup
port this movement and will actively
participate in it and will at the same
time fight against any sabotaging,
any attempt to destroy the unity Of
the workers. We are fully aware of
the fact that the united front with
out concrete program Of action
against the capitalist class, without
undertaking mass mobilization of
the workers in struggle for their
burning demands, borders on the
line Of betrayal of the working class.
THE Communist Party will expose
everybody who will sabotage the
united front action. regardless of
who they may be, as strike-breakers,
as scabs in the ranks of the working
class. We repeat that in the course
of the united front actions, it will
refrain from attacking organizations
participating in the united front.
But it proposes program of action.
Particularly we call upon the locals
of the A. F. of L. to go on record
for such united front actions, to
endorse the Workers Unemployment
Insurance Bill and rally for one
