/. The Trade Union Question

The influx Of hundreds of thousands of new workers
from basic industries and production plants into
the A. F. L. unions and the growing rehabilitation Of
the main mass of its membership make the A. F. L.
unions more militant and unions in character
opening up greater possibilities of revolution
airy work within them.
y In view of this, the main task of the Party in
the sphere of trade union work should be the work in
the A. F. Of L. unions to energeticaly and tire
lessy mobilize the of their members and the
trade unions whole for the defense of the every
day interests of the workers. the leadership strikes
carrying out the policy of the struggle in the
trade unions 1t necessary for the Party overcoming
the resistance of the trade burocracy and sectaan
remnants in the ranks of the Party and adherents of
the revolutionary trade union movement to achieve
by all means, real work in the unions of the A. F. L.
The Communists and other advanced workers must
develop wide strike movement, fighting on the basis
of trade union democracy the leadership OF the
struggle in spite of the sabotage and the treaehery Of
the trade union burocra for the demands of the work
for the recognition of the trade unions against
wage cuts and for higher wages especially in view Of
the rise Of prices for the reduction of the working day
without reduction in earnings for social Insurance
unemployment relief etc.
o The Party must take the initiative in the struggle
for the unity of the trade unions for their industrial
structure the organization of the unorganized and ANAL
gamation the basis of trade union democracy the
autonomy of individual trade unions in their internal
affairs within the framework of general afiation to
the A F. of L. simultaneously struggling destroy the
policy of company unionism.
- The Party fractions must win the revolutionary
unions for struggle for trade union unity by methods
which correspond to the concrete conditions in each
industry. The existing revolutionary trade unions and
their locals join the A. F. L. or its unions wherever
there exist parallel A. F. of L. trade unions or
the Red Trade Unions join the A. F. of L. directly
The form Of such fusion depends upon the relationship
A. F. of L. union. However, In all conditions the revo-
onary unions and their branches collectively deciding
their action should attempt to join the A. F. OF L.
unions as organized units, not weakening their mass
the A. F. of L. as Of more widely modifying
the working around the revolutionary leadership
organizing and distributing their so as to have
the possibility of exercising maximum amount of
influence on the work of the A. F. of L. unions In
those when collective Joining not possible men,
Trs OF the Red Unions should join the unions of the
4 e. 81 L. individually. When adopting decision for
particular Red trade union to enter the A. F. of L.
or for Red trade union to fuse with A. F. of L.
union it Is necessary to carry advance serious
planatory work among the trade masses so that

3. The Labor Party

The political changes which have taken place
among the masses demand that the C. P. should re-
view its attitude towards the revYng mass sentiments in
favor Of Labor Party and in respect to such Party
If it should be formed on a scale. The correct
approach to this question formulated on the whole
by the Sixth World Congress in 1925 in the following
form:
@on the question of the organizing Of Labor
Party, the Congress resolves: That the Party ooncen-
trate its attention on the work in the trade unions
on organizing the unorganized ETC., and in this way
lay the basis for the practical realization of the slo
gan Of broad Labor Party organized from below"
Since 1929, until now this correct orientation has
necesstated unqualified opposition by the Party to the
current proposals to organize Labor Party which in

and the position Of the Rights it is necessary to point
out both its shortcomings and the fact that on the
whole, it is a compromise reformisa platform.
The successful operation Of the united front is only
possible if the position of the Party on this question
and the experience of conducting the united front is
Systematically explained in the Party press.

-Four Different Types


As for the nature of the new mass party the great
est probabilities rejecting the two chief political ten
denotes of this movement-the class struggle or class
colaboration-are: (a) a Popular" or progressive
party based the LaFoette Sinclair Olson and Long
movements and typed by these leaders and their pro
grams; CD "Farmer-Labor" or Labor" Party of the
same character differing only in name and the degree
Of its denagogy (c) Labor Party" with a predoni
nanty trade union basis with program consisting Of
immediate demands POSSIBLY with vague demaeoev
about the cooperative commonwealth" la olson
dominated by section of the trade union bureaucracy
assisted by the Socialist Party and excluding the Com
munists; Id Labor Party built up from below on a
trade union basis but in conflict with the bureaucracy
putting forward program of demands closely con-
nected with struggles strikes etc. with The lead
ing role played by the militant elements including the
Communists These variations can develop also parallel
or in combination.
The major task of the Communist Party is to build
and strengthen its direct influence to increase the
number of its members and in every way to strengthen
the authority Of the Party among the masses to struggle
for its principles and tactics For the very reason that
life itself raises the question of the Labor Party we
must strengthen our Party the only real independent
proetaran Party which cannot be replaced by any other
organization in the struggle Of the working class for its
liberation The Party cannot expect however that it
will be able to bring directly and Immediately under its
own banner the millions who breaking away from
the old parties At the time it cannot remain in
different passive to the further development of these
millions nor toward the organized form which their
political activity will take.
u In these changed conditions, the Communist
Party must change its negative position toward the Labor
Party question 1t should declare its support for the
movement of Labor Party and fight in this movement
for the policy OF the class struggle resisting all attempts
to bring the movement under the control of social
formsm. 1t must ally itself with all elements that are
ready to work loyalty toward a similar aim The Com
munist Party must carry a systematic struggle
against all attempts to direct this movement along the
channel Of popular progressive" party along
the lines of Party of the character, masquer
aiding Labor" Party This is also practical basis
for the struggle against bureaucratic control the
