PLENUM = India, Jan. 26 DOWN IN ) Give More Attentio: MOSCOW, Dec. 21. (By Impre- corr Mail Service)—The Plenum of, the Executive Committee of the Red International of Labor Unions, which is reviewing past actions of its sec- tions since the Fourth World Con- gress in March 1928, and mapping out directions for future struggles, resumed its sessions yesterday and continued discussions on reports. Comrade Losovski then commenc- ed his concluding speech: The American exchange crash was of great significance because it des- troyed many of the illusions foster- ed by the social fascists. Recent ) events in Germany, Austria and other countries showed that the rev- olutionary development was quicker than many had thought. He then criticised the idea that there was any deep chasm between fascism and social fascism, and the idea that the social fascists would fight against fascism. The new fact in the situation was that the higher and middle officials and larger sections of the lower officials of the reformist trade unions and a-great section of the aristocracy of labor were already fascist. Referring to the question of the political mass strike, the speaker declared that everything would depend on circustances, but the possibility of defeat should not hold the revolutionary trade union movement back from the struggle. Following upon comrade Losov- ski’s concluding speech the theses on the first point of the agenda were unanimously adopted. | Foster Reports. | Comrade Foster (U.S.A.) then re- ported upon the second point of the agenda, the activity of the revolu- tionary trade unions and the Trade Union Unity League in the U.S.A. He described the radicali- sation of the American workers as he result of the deterioration of heir situation, the intense rational- sation and inhuman exploitation. ‘American imperialism was feverish- ly preparing for war and the Ameri- can Federation of Labor was com- pletely fascist and served the em- ployers as. an organized strike- breaking weapon.

The discussion of comrade Fos- ter’s speech was opened. Discussion on U. S. Comrade Padmore (U.S.A.) dealt | with the economic and social situa- |tion of the Negro Workers. The revolutionary trade union congress in Cleveland was a great success. The struggle in Gastonia had been a splendid example of the solidarity of the white and colored workers in \their joint struggle against capital- jism Comrade Stachovitz (Interna- tional Propaganda and Action Com- mittee of the Chemical Workers) declared that the revolutionary in- ternational work amongst the chemi- cal workers should be strengthened. |He considered it extremely import- ant that a revolutionary trade union for the chemical workers should be formed in the United States. Comrade Wilson (Great Britain), Heller (R.LL.U.), Tim Buck Can- ada), Heimann (U.S.A.), Yu Fei (China), Ballam (U.S.A.) Heckert (Germany) also spoke. Comrade Horner (Great Britain) declared that the work of the revo- lutionary unions in the U.S.A. was making progress as compared with the time of the fourth congress. The standards of life of the American workers were lower than in Great Britain He proposed that an International Propaganda and Action Cammittee for the unem- ployed workers should be formed. Comrades Merker (Germany), Giraldo (Columbia), Levin (R.L.L. U.), Sirocco (U.S.A.), also spoke. Comrade Losoyski declared that | the task of the revolutionary trade unions was to initiate mass strug- gles and to draw the masses into their ranks. The problem of the unorganized workers was very im- portant, as also was the problem of unemployment.

An extreme need for food and tents for the strikers is announced. ' The workers in the lettuce fields have tied up the fields in the height of the season here. They are put- ting up a determined, militant fight against the largest open shop fruit and vegetable growing corporations, the same corporations which were instrumental in bringing about the vicjous criminal syndicalism law un- der which many militant workers and their leaders have been sen- tenced to 14-year prison terms. The federal authorities, holding over the heads of the strikers threat of deportation, have jumped quickly to the bosses’ aid in this strike. J. G.
