ments of the Socialist state, and, at the same time. Trade Union membership will be a state obligation for all the workers who belong to the same branch of Industry (Par. of the resolution. This conviction of the All. Russian Congress is based on facts. The Industrial Unions are gradanlly Ayuning the attributes of state de.
partments. They really work As veritable dopartmcut of tho state when they mobilize all their menibers, when they concentrate workers in a glven town, when they transfer the worker from one part of Nussla to another, when they give their rote on question of wages, when they exercise, by means of their representatives, decisive influence on the activity of the Supreme National Economic Council.
And just becase this transformation of Industrial Unions into state departments takes place gradually, and quite normally, there is no present necessity of forcing this process, there is no need to proclaim from one minute to AD.
other the transformation of Industrial Unions into state departments The Communists who work in the Industrial Unions have every reason for adnering to the resolution of the First and Second All Russian Trade Unions Congress in this matter GROUPS, TRADE UNIONS AND LOCAL BRANCHES OF THE PARTY.
In every Industrial Union there should be a communist section, strongly organized and disciplined in order that each section may propegate the same econoinic policy as that of the Central Communist group. which is in the All.
Russian Trade Unions Council. No concession to what is called Localism should be made Wages, hours of lahor, food questions and so on should all be considered from the All Russlan point of view. Fach Communikt group within an Adustrial Union is merely a kernel of the local branch of the Communist Party. The local com.

mittee of the Industrial Unions, The Communist Party is the force to be counted on the mobilizing the workers for 10dustry and for the Red army. The Committee of the Party comes to an understanding with the Communist groups in the Industrial Unions. The Communist Party directs all the constructive side of the Trade nion activity, but it takes care that this direction shall never be of.
domineering character.
ORGANIZATION OF THE RURAL WORKER, One of the most important tasks of the work.
ing class movement at present in Russia is the organization of the rural workers. It is neces.
sary to help the already existing organizations of the workers by all possible means. The Com.
munists working in the working class movement should consider it an honor to organize the rural workers. This task requires good deal of energy and power.
THE TRADE UNIONS AND THE INTERNATIONAL In consequence of certain pecularities in the cvolution of the working class movement in Western Europe. false conception exist about the Trade Unions among the German Commun.
Ists and the Communists of other countries.
Our arty believes that we cannot do without the Trade Unions. During the proletarian revolution the Trade nions will xplit up in the same way as the old Social Democratic parties have done.
The experiences of the German working class movement showed us that already the Berlin Trade nions are freeing themselves from the pernicious influence of the social democracy of Scheldemann.
The Russian Trade Union movement should take the Initiative in creating a Red Trade Union International, in the same way as the political party ha, done in the political Mald.
At the Congress of the Red International, not only should the organizations of the party be represented, but alxo the organizations of the Workers Councils the Co. operative societies, and the. ommunist Trade Unions which ap.
