This must be brought about through amalgamation of all the unions in our industry. Such amal- gamation must be brought about by the rank and file of the various unions. The campaign must be carried into the local unions of the otifer organizations. At the Detroit convention, the administration forces \defeated a proposal to elect a special committee to carry on this campaign. Such a committee, of those who believe in amalgamation, should be elected by the coming convention. 2. Organize the Large Machine Shops. 100 Per Cent Organization On the Railroads. conditions, the I. A. of M. is in danger of being still further weak- ened, union conditions will be further destroyed, and our standard of living will be still further re- duced. We Are Following a Wrong and Hopeless Policy This state of affairs is the direct outcome of the reactionary policy forced upon the union by our Grand Lodge officials. They spend their energy to organize a few small ~shops and give no attention to the large machine factories. When rank and file pressure compelled them to act, our Grand Lodge officials to- gether with the A. F. of L. officials made a pretense of organizing the automobile industry, but this cam- paign fizzled out. They have aban- doned the idea of using the indus- y trial power of the workers to fight for better conditions and instead The most important task for our rely on arbitration and the “good| union is to organize the railroad and will” of the employers for wage in- machine industry, especially the creases; whereas all experience large factories—the auto, agricul- tural machinery and other sections of the metal industry. Instead of organizing the auto industry, our officials organize only garage mechanics. Our officials have fol- lowed a wrong policy of organiza- tion; furthermore, they have not shown themselves capable of organ- izing our industry, or even a willing- ness to do so. The rank and file of our Association must take the initia- tive in carrying on this important task of organization. Shop committees must be set up in the unorganized shops. More at- tention must be paid to the special- ists, the semi-skilled, the women and youth who are coming into the trade. By keeping out of our union |the Negroes who are coming into our industry, we give the employer the opportunity to use them against shows that arbitration gets us no- where. The cases of the C. & O. shopmen and other railroad trades are recent examples of what can be expected from arbitration. Our of- ficials preach the B. & O. Plan of union-management cooperation to boost production, which has brought us no more than the workers get who are employed in strictly open shops. In the few strikes that were called, they have weakened before injunctions, abandoned picketing, and relied on old party politicians to fight the injunctions in court; and in meantime the strikes were lost. They have done nothing to carry out the previous convention decisions for amalgamation and consequent strengthening of the organization. Instead, they suppress every ef- fort in this direction. In order to them r continue their erroneous program, us in our fight to maintain union they have expelled many members conditions; it is in our interest to who have the courage to fight for a| permit the Negro to join the union. constructive change in the policy of We are opposed to the Compulsory the Association.

The chief principle of the imperial- ist colonial policy, he said, was not to transform the colonies into cheap sources for food and raw material for the motherlands. Capital ex- port, he declared, was not an iso- lated and accidental factor, but the fundamental factor in the imperial- ist colonial policy. Further, the main aim of the imperialists is | profit and this results willy-nilly in the industrialization of the colonies.
