After pointing out the seriousness of the crisis in which the labor movement finds itself, Foster showed how the deepening economic depression was driving large masses to the left. “Large sections of workers, con- siderable of whom were under ¢he in- fluence of the so-called progressive leaders and who have since been be- trayed by these leaders, are now seek- ing for a new direction in the strug- gle which is taken place. They are already coming to us. We are faced by a great opportunity. We must redouble our efforts and rise to meet the responsibilities which the next few months will place upon us. We must present our plan for the day-to- day problems. We must stress the need of present struggle as against the weak and futile policy of the mis- leaders of labor.” A Fighting Program. In addition to adopting a program | for the immediate future the confer- ence passed resolutions for the fight to build a labor party, for the recog- nition of the Soviet Union; against the intervention in Nicaragua and for amalgamation of the craft unions.
