etc, but the shop workers have not
been drawn into sufficient solidarity
with the struggles Of the unemployed.
Lack Of Guidance and Burocratic
Practices
Why is this SO? The Districts have
not aided the comrades In the UNI
employed work in their daily work.
Although the 18th Plenum Resolution
speaks of carrying on an untiring
fight for social insurance, for all kinds
of municipal relief" which demands
the closet political guidance, the i'm
mediate meeting Of issues and rem
edies" raised by the bosses politicians,
the clearing up of Illusions, and the
knitting together Of the corporation,
the weak fractions were allowed TO
founder. The Districts and sections
have not made unemployed work the
task of the whole Parry, but have re-
legated it to the unemployed COM
rades themselves.
The Districts have allowed the
most burocratic practices to be car
rted on in the Unemployment Coun-
ellis: the appointment, withdrawal or
removal Of leading comrades from
the work by the Districts and Sec
lions; the assumption of leadership
in the lower units Of the Unemploy-
ment Council by self appointed COM
rades following the burocratic prac-
tees of the Districts and Sections I;
the failure to develop new leading
forces out of the hundreds of thou
sands of militant workers who par
ticipate in the unemployed struggles;
the failure to develop a financial sys-
tenn capable of maintaining the I'M
employed functionaries.
Breaking Down SectarianiSm
Where, on the other hand, the Dis
tricts and Sections do give daily
guidance and carry out checkup on
the decisions made; where they try
to develop democracy In the Coun-
ellis; where they consciously bring new
leaders to the front, recruit them
into the Party and leave them in the
unemployed work as leaders OF the

Why Are Big Districts Backward in
Unemployed Work?
How does it happen that In such
important cities as New York, Phila-
delphia, Buffalo, st. Louis, Youngs-
town, the unemployed movement is
extremely weak, with only sporadic
actions In the neighborhoods? How
does 1t happen that in such cities as
Boston, Haverhill and other industrial
cities Of New England there has been
and today is practically no unemploy-
n1ent movement at all? Is it because
there has been and is no unemploy-
ment in these towns? Why, on the
other hand, Is there an unemployed
movement in the south, where the
comrades work under the hardest
conditions OF terror? Why has the
movement in York and Lancaster
Pa, been wiped out?
How does it happen that in such
cities as Pittsburgh, Seattle, Hartford,
the upper anthracite, the movement
is forging ahead, and Is achieving
results in the struggle for relief, ETC.?
Is there something miraculous about
these cities? Are the workers more
militant in these cites than else
where? Not at all.
Not Sufficient Political Clarity
The unemployed movement slowed
down for various reasons. With the
introduction Of the New Deal" the
workers we're filled with illusions.
Instead of explaining the facts and
promise Of the New Deal" to the
workers with firm Bolshevik determi-
nation, the comrades in the lower
organizations Of the Unemployment
Councils, many Of them politically
immature adopted an altitude of
passivity and of waiting till the Illu-
sionS were cleared up by develop
ments. When the G. w. A. projects
were opened up and new Illusions we're
created, we did not meet the issue

Negroes have been given work. al
though Negroes constitute about forty
per cent of the population. Those

A Negro worker was placed on the

heard that the Negro received few

earned thereby should be enough to
support the worker and his invalid

on the verge Of starvation.

The struggle Of the unemployed within
the locals OF the A. F. Of L.. with
few exceptions, beyond the stage Of
resolutions for the Workers Bill?
This is due to the weakness Of our
work in the reformist unions gener-
ally. but particularly because the I'M
employed work as whole Is neglected
by the Districts and Sections.

CARNATIONS is weakest in those local
tiles where the Unemployment Coun-
ellis are weak - New York, Chicago.
Reading, Milwaukee, etc? Why is 1t
that in Pittsburgh and Seattle the
drive for the united front assumes
mass proportions? Because the work
Of the Unemployment Councils de-
termines the degree of unity that we
can achieve with the rank and file
Of the reforInist unemployed organi-
cations. The rank and file Of these
organizations is made of the same
fighting stuff as the workers in the
Councils. United front and the
merging of the unemployed organiza-
tons depends not only on the ideolo-
gical winning of the rank and file of
the other organizations, but chiefly
on the carrying through of the actual
struggle. This demands the building
up of the Unemployment Councils in
every neighborhood, in the every
town and city. It demands attention
TO every issue that arises or can be
used to rally masses. 1t demands
the 5roadest democracy and collec-
tive leadership. 1t demands the mobi-
lization Of the Party members as a
whole, and the unemployed comrades
in particular for the work. It de-
mands the closest attention Of the
Districts and Sections and the linking
up OF shop and unemployed work.
The nationwide campaign for the
Workers Bill, coupled with the de-
mand for the continuation of C.W.A.
jobs, for adequate cash relief, In the
struggle against the C.C.C. and tran
sient camps, must be used for ms6bi-
hzing the whole Party membership.

around the central unifying slogan

Danger of Fascism and War
The Districts, Sections and Units
must searchingly examine their I'M
employed work and not leave it to
the unemployment experts" as is
manifest in the discussions In Dis
trict and even Central Committee
Plenums. There must be a mos
rapid turn in our unemployed work.
This is demanded not only by the
continued pauperization of the masses
but above all by the growing danger
OF fascisnl and the war situation. The
declaration of Assistant Secretary Of
War Woodring, the clamor Of Rich
ara w. Child and others to put the
unemployed In the C.C.C. and tram
sient camps, and the men on the
C.W-A. under army control, Is sharp
warning. Child says:

growing movement, q recognized

of the Districts and Sections are cor
rect Communist practices, does any
development take place.
The emergence of the Party from
its bIrocratic position on the mem-
ployed field may best be seen in Port
land, Ore. Here, owing to the neglect
Of the District and the sectarianism
Of the Portland comrades, the Unem-
ployment Council was a narrow, iso-
lated group. It had no contact with
the other unemployed organizations
in the city, with their thousands of
members. With proper attention, the
unit is now breaking its isolation, is
rapidly recruiting members into the
Council and has already led fine
struggles. With proper attention, the
Portland Council will continue to
grow.
Red Unions FAN To Do Unemployed
Work
The revolutionary unions, with the
exception of marine, seriously under
estimate the unemployed work and
have neglected it to a criminal de-
gree. In spite of the directives Of
the National Bro Of the T.U.UL., in
spite Of decisions of fraction con-
ferences and Of board meetings, I'M
employed work continues to be almost
taboo In the revolutionary unions. Is
it not fact that strikebreaking has
been widespread In the recent strug-
giles? Is 1t not q fact that the only
use the unions have Of the Unem-
plogment Councils Is to rally them
for the picket line during strikes?
What attention Is given to work
among the unemployed of the indus
try In the plans and decisions Of the
revolutionary unions, and what atten-
ton is given daily to developing it
as part and parcel OF the union work?
Would not work among the unem-
ployed In these industries also help
to build the red unions and reach
the workers in the shops? Tremen-
dous unemployment exists in the
mining, steel and auto industries.
Why has the fraction In the A. F.
