One form of this continued offensive is to be ound in the sharp increase in prices which will take place very shortly beyond the gradual increase up till now, a8 a result of the so-called 59- cent dollar. Another form will be a new direct wage-cut, already in- dicated in the railroads’ demand for a 15 per cent cut: The workers, chained to the starvation wage levels of the Industrial Codes, will be con- fronted with these new wage-cuis— direct and indirect. The inflation will also affect all strata of the toil- ing population. These last events will serve to let loose a tremendous wave of struggles of the masses. To mobilize the Party to lead these struggles now, should be the central task of the Conyention’s discussion— of the various District Plenums and Conventions. ‘This is not an essen- tially new task but it is more urgent ‘Take Up Concentration, Work in A.F. L. and Recruiting i in Pre-Convention Discussion of Work in the A.F.of L. T Party members to withstand and ex- pose the demagogy of the bourgeoisie government and their Social-Fascist lackeys. Of course, the decisive task is to turn the attention and activity of every unit arid member to active work among the masses, ‘Underestimation of Work in A.F, of L. In relation to work in the A. F. of L, there exists great-opportunist wa- derestimation on the one hand and on the other considerable confusion. We must make clear that our main strategy on the trade union field is the building of the revolutionary trade unions. The tactic of working within the A. F. of L. must lead to a strengthening of our strategic line. To repeat this correct formula and then neglect work inside the A. F. of L. in practice is, of course, not per- missible. The repetition of the em- phasis on our main strategy in the trade union field, is necessary because in my opinion some of our leading comrades in the A. F. of L. work, completely misunderstand it, Furthermore, in some Districts, the Party committees have adopted a policy in connection with the C.W.A. killed jobs, of calling upon all the workers to join the A. F. of L. P; ers and Washers Union, when great majority were absolutely op- posed to this, because the A. F. of L. Jeaders had suspended them from membership, months and years ago, because of non-payment of dues and assessments. To call upon the work- ers to rejoin, under these 9 weeks, C.W.A. jobs, iia meant nilking the workers’ weekly to make payment on' back dues and then have them thrown out again. I refer to cities where the A. F. of L. no longer have the majority of the painters fa toe or .| do we repeatedly hear our |ership, precisely in this period of has been absolutely too much under- estimation of the role of the A, F. of L, and the consequent need of op- position work‘ being an equal and necessary complement to the building of the T.U.UL. unions. To state that the A. F. of L. is not a factor in Ohio when the mining industry is 100 per cent organized into the U.M.W.A.; 5,000 rubber workers! in the Federal Unions; the key rail- road workers are in the Brotherhoods or Shop Crafts; in’ steel, . several thousand are in the A.A. and ener- getic campaigns are being conducted inv other industries, particularly tex- tile, is merely to fool ourselves. It need not be stated that this is done with the help of the N.R.A. apparatus; of the company many times; that many times it is merely for the recog- nition and check-off without any con- sequent improvement in workers’ con- ditions. These things are tru as is the fact that many workers “see through” the A, F. of L, leadership but have not been convinced of join- ing the T.U.U.L., and have organized, &| independent unions. Particularly in the steel industry, comrades stating, “the A.A. is dead.” But this “dead” union, has, for example, six hundred members in’ the Youngstown Sheet and Tube in Youngstown, 1,700 inthe steel mill in Ellwood City, several hundred in Carnegie in) Youngstown, 5,700 in Otis Steel in Cleyeland as well as in Canton, et¢.,. and is begi active work in many other steel milis. In some places, as for instance, Farrell, Carnegie, Newcastle, Otis Steel, after the S.M. W.LU. had a foothold in these mills, the A. F, of Ls has come in and has assumed hegemony. This is indication of the underes' fon |! of the,role of the Social-Pascist lead- sharpening class struggle. Some Mistakes Made in District 6 in Work in the A. F. of L. is a decided difference between a |comyany urion and the A. F. of L. local, regardless of the class colla= boration policy ot the A. F. of L. offi- cialdom. Secondly, it immediately puts the workers on the defensive— allows the fakers to arcuse great an- tagonism against the Red Unions and cover up their own treachery. Where only a part of the workers are organized into the A. F. of i. local, we must follow a flexible policy —of organizing opposition groups in- Side the A. F. of L.. and simultaneous- ly organizing the T.U.U.L, union, Ac- cording to the circumstances, we must decide where to place the. emphasis momentarily. I refer now particu- larly to’ steel and metal, where our main line is the building of the S.M. W.LU. In such cases, as in We u ‘eirton, for instance, the S.M.W.I.U. should: come forward boldly with the United Front tactic of uniting in struggie— against the Sieel Trust, Company Union and N.R.A. Labor Board—the members of the A.A, and S.M.W.LU. This tactic is also applicable in cer- tain mills in Youngstown, Canton and Cleveland territories. With this tac- tic, we would win the workers closer to-the SM.W.1.U., we would develop who would oppose ‘other this United Front policy.
