The following resolution was adopt- ed unanimously. A copy will be sent to every trade union and fraternal or- ganization in the city, “Whereas, unemployment in the United States has reached a figure of more than four million and this figure | is constantly mounting, “Whereas, unemployment springs not only from the sharp depression in industry but is a result of the con- stant squeezing-out process of work- ers by the introduction of machines, speed-up methods, standardization, increased hours, etc., “Whereas, we are witnessing the establishment of a huge, permanent reserve army. of unemployed which the government itself has admitted is over one million, “Whereas, the unemployment prob- lem is not only ‘a problem ‘of the mo- ment but is a problem which affects the employed. and unemployed alike and in the hands of the rapacious em- ploying class is.a constant menace to the standard of living of the workers, and a club which the employers can use_to: break strikes, prevent organ- ization of the unorganized workers, lower wages,. etc., A Capitalist Institution. “Whereas, we recognize that this unemployment problem cannot be solved within the framework of the present system of capitalist society. Whereas, thousands of workers and their families in New York City are already severely suffering from the pangs of hunger and are threat- ened with evictions for non-payment of rent, and are faced with disease and other privations, “Therefore. be it resolved by this unemployment conference that we recognize the necessity for taking im- mediate steps.to organize the em- ployed and unemployed workers into one movement to bring all possible relief to the unemployed workers and to protect the organized labor move- ment against the dangers in the un- employment situation, and . “Be it further resolved that we go on record in favor of an immediate program of action in behalf of the un- employed workers: “©Maintenance Fund.” + “1.
