2. Origin and Purposes of the WFTU,
The WFTU was founded in October., 19459 at a.congress held in Paris and
attended by labor representatives of many nations, It was established in
the hope that it would become a truly international labor organization con-
cerned only with the coordination and direction of the many national unions
in their efforts to solve international'ind.ustrial problems. By November
of 1947, however, the growing tension and ideologidal conflict between East
and West began to manifest itself in WFTU internal affairs. At this time., the
leaders of the British,, Dutch and U.S. trade unions attempted to place
discussion of the Marshall Plan on the agenda of the WFTU Executive Committee
meeting which was to be held sometime prior to February of 1948. Their
efforts to do this were blocked by Louis SAILLANT, Secretary General of the
WFTU and a man of strong Communist persuasion, who kept postponing the
planned meeting, Finally, the British Trade Union Council, the C.I.O. and
the Dutch Trade Union, NOV.V., representatives notified the Secretary Gen erdL
that all interested trade unions were invited to attend an intern,athnal
conference for "discussion of the Marshall Plan" to be held in London in
March, 1948. The non-communist trade unions of Ireland, Denmark, Norway,,
Sweden, Austria., Switzerland., the Benelux countries and the U.S. and

Great Bitain were represented at the London meeting, which the Soviet
represeftativ
~ e to the WFTU, Sergei ROSlOVSKY, promptly condemned as
"separatist".
Despite this charge that the London meeting was a "capitalist plot to
disrupt the international unity of the working class", the Soviets were still
eager to maintain the "international character" of the WFTU. Consequently,
V. V. KiZNETSOV, President of the USSR's All Union Central Council of Trade
Unions, accepted the invitation of Arthur DEAKIN, President of the WFTTJ and
representative of the British T.U.C., to call a meeting of the Executive
Bureauin Rome during the first week of May, 1948. The Marshall Plan did not
appear on the agenda of the Rome meeting., but it was anticipated that there
would be some discussion of SAILLANT's failure to call an Executive meeting when
it was due, and it was obvious that some reference to the Marshall Plan
could not be avoided. In an ill-timed move, SAILLANT added fuel to the flames
by issuing.without prior consultation with the Executive Bureau, a May Day
Manifestin the name of the WFTU in which the Marshall Plan was unfavourably
criticized. In spite of this
poor political climate, however, a compromise
ed on the question of administrative responsibility over the
Executiv Bureau and control of the planning of the agenda for that body.
It was urnimously agreed to "reaffirm . . . . the universal character of
the WFTU as well as to reaffirm that no national organization shall attempt
to dominate WFTU affairs without holding in consideration the point of view
of other national organizations or other tendencies."
While a split within ''he WFTU over political differences had been averted
at the "?me meeting, the problem of integrating the old International Trade
Secretariats of its predecessor, the International Federation of. Trade Unions,
remained. When the WFTU was formed it was understood that if it were to be
a truly representative body, the existing international unions in the fields
# The Executive Bureau, consisting of 11 members of the Executive Committee,
is the leading policy-making organ of the WFTU.

of mining,, metal working. transport,, etc.,, should be incorporated into the
new federation, In September,, 1948,, a meeting was convened in Paris for the
purpose of finding a solution to the integration problem. Meanwhile,, the
tension between the Communist and non-Communist worlds was on the increase,,
and the first Berlin blockade was taking place as the delegates arrived for
the Paris meeting. The British led the faction within the WFTU which believed
that "in view of developments in the WFTU during the past two years. the
interests of the International Trade Secretariats can best be served by
continuing their independence until such time as negotiation can be resumed
with a trade union international that may bring the trade secretariats together
on a basis of autonomy acceptable to them," It was apparent that the trade
unions of the West suspected the intent of the Soviets,, and hence wanted a
highly decentralized international union,, at least until such time as the
threat of Communist domination over the movement ceased to exist. In addition
to their refusal to accept immediate integration of the Trade Secretariats
into the WFTU, the C.I0O0 and T.U.C. strongly opposed Soviet bloc efforts to
set up a "united trade union council" representing the whole of Germany,,
seeing in this move a Communist attempt to gain control of the entire German
labor movement.
The final.break came at the Executive Bureau session held in January
1949. The British T.U.C. proposed that the WFTU suspend its functions for
one year and that a special commission be named to hold the WFTU funds in
trust until such time as it would be possible "to discuss the condition in
which an attempt to revive the international trade union body be made,," but
the Communists quashed the resolution. Realizing that the WFTU was no
longer an instrument of the free labor movement but a tool of the Soviet
Union, the British T.U,C.,, the American C.I.O. and the Netherlands N.V.N.
walked out of the Executive Meeting and in March of 1949 officially withdrew
from the organization. In the following months,, the noncommunist unions
of Norway and Switzerland,, the General Confederation of Belgian Labor and

the Confederation of Swedish Trade Unions followed suit. Since this time,
the WFTt has been clearly identified with international Communism, despite
its continued professions of "international trade union unity" of all
workers regardless of political affi?iation.l
PRINCIPIL ORGANIZATIONAL COMPONENTS
1. Central Organization.
The "supreme authority" of the World Federation of Trade Unions is the
World Trade Union Contress convened biennially and representative of the
entire membership.* Theoretically, if not practically, all other organs of
the WFTU are responsible to the Congress, which elects the General Council
and the Executive Committee.
a.' The General Council, the governing body of the WFTU in the periods
between, congresses, meets at least once a year. Its functions include those
of approving the annual budget and electing the General Secretary.
b. The Executive Committee, which is the governing body of the
Federation in the periods between meetings of the General Council, meets not
less than twice a year. This body elects the Executive Bureau and considers
all matters placed before it by the Bureaus as well as matters which are to be
discussed in the General Council.`'
c. The Executive Bureau, composed of a President, nine Vice-presidents,
and the Secretary General, is the governing body of the WFTU between meetings
of the Executive Committee. It organizes and supervises the activity of the
permanent administrative organ of the WFTU, the Secretariat.
d. The Secretariat organizes, coordinates and implements the activities
TU on an international scale. Its staff is permanent and under the
direction of the Secretary General elected by the General Council. The
Secretary General, with the approval of the Executive Bureau, appoints

three. Assistant Secretaries General, each of whom is directly responsible
for the administration of one of the three functional departments of the
Secretariat. These functional departments are summarized below:
1.) Department of Relations with National Centers, Press and Information
This department is divided according to its title, one section dealing with
national centers* and the other being the press and information section.
The, latter publishes the fortnightly review., World Trade Union Movement and
other WFTU bulletins and coordinates the foreign language publishing houses
associated with the Federation. The national centers section maintains
contact with various national unions and federations such as the French CGT
(Confederation Generale de Travail) and the Italian CGIL (Italian Confedera-
tion of Labor). It is divided into five geographic bureaus in the following
manner:
Bureau 1: Iberia and the Americas.
Bureau 2: Africa,, Greece., Turkey, Levant States, Egypt., Israel., Cyprus.
Bureau 3: Western Europe, Germany, Austria, Iceland.
Bureau 4: Middle East, (South Asia., Asia,, Australia.)
Bureau 5: USSR and Satellites. (once included Yugoslavia)
2.) Department of Trade Union Internationalso This department is
concerned with maintaining relations with the constituent Trade Union
Internationals affiliated with the WFTU and coordinating the activities of
one T.U.I. with another as well as with the programs and general directives
of the Executive organs of the WFTU.
3.) Economic and Social Department. This department deals with WFTU
relations with the United Nations,, the International Labor Organization., and
A National enter "is a trade union federation in a specific country,
such as the CGIL of Italy (Confederazione Generale Italiano del Lavoro) (Italian Confederation of Labor), or the AITUC of India., (All-Indian Trade
Union Congress).
The Trade Union Internationals m TUIes m are international unions
organized "vertically" within a number of major industries. Each TUI
comprises affiliated unions throughout the world. A given union can thus
be affiliated with the WFTU in two ways -through its membership in a "national
center" affiliated with the WFTU; and/or through affiliation with a TUI.

other non-governmental organizations which have an interest in the labor field.
Direct access to the U.N. is maintained through permanent liaison offices in
New York, New York, and with ILO through the Swiss Confederation of Labor in
Geneva, Switzerland.
4.) Administrative Offices. In addition to these three major departments,
there are special sections at the Secretariat which come under the heading
of "administration", including a stenographic section, an accounting department,
and a translation department.
Bureaus.
At the Second World Trade Union Congress held in Milan, Italy, in July of
1949, it was decided to set up supplementary to the sections dealing with
national. centers described above, four Regional Bureaus which would be respon-
sible for the following functions:
a. To assist trade union organizations in the given group of countries
to explain and carry out WFTU decisions.
b. To disseminate WFTU propaganda and information by press, pamphlet,
radio, etc.
c. To fright "divisionist activity" in the working class,
d. To crake contact with trade union centers affiliated to the WFTU and
the "progressives" trade union organizations outside the WFTU.
e. To recruit new members for the WFTU and keep the WFTU informed on
trade union developments in the "given group of countries," (by means of a
quarterly report to the Executive Bureau).
f. To send representatives, after approval by the Executive Bureau, to
meetings of the national trade union centers and federations in tithe given
2
group".
There is a Liaison Bureau or. cor:Lmittee of soi e sort for each of the f oli.owiitig
areas: the Far East; Latin America; the Near and Middle East; and Africa.
The WFTU emphasizes, however, that the Liaison Bureaus, as working bodies
of the Federation, are not to act as blocks between the central headquarters,

direct relations with the WFTU Executive.3
THE VIENNA HEADQUARTERS OF THE WFTU SECRETARIAT
1. Physical Properties and Facilities.
Until the early part of 1951, the Secretariat was located in Paris.
On 26 January of that year, the French Government issued expulsion notices
to the entire staff, at which time the WFTU moved to Vienna. Because of the
abruptness of this change, the WFTU was forced to set up temporary headquarters
in the offices of "The Society for the Promotion of Cultural and Economic
Relations between Austria and the USSR", located in the Coburg Palace,
3 Seilerstaette, Vienna I (International Sector). Business was also conducted
from the offices of the WFTU publishing house at Vienna IV, (Soviet Sector),
Schwindgasse 7/6, and from a villa at Roseggerweg 14, Moedling, a suburb in
the Soviet zone. By May of 1951, the permanent offices of the Secretariat
had been established on the second floor of the Coburg Palace, which contains
offices and small conference rooms. For large conferences, meetings and
receptions., the offices of the Austro4USSR Society on the first floor.of the
Coburg Palace are used) In the late summer of 1951, there were various
reports to the effect that the offices in the International Sector were
"window dressing" and that the majority of the WFTU's work was being pro-
cessed at_the Schwindgasse address and in a branch office in the USIA
(Administration of Soviet Assets in Austria) office building at Vienna IV.
(Soviet Sector) Gusshausstrasse 28.5 On the basis of information revealed
by censorship intercepts collected within the past two years., however, it
appears that some of these reports are inaccurate. WFTU postal, telegraphic
and telephonic communications usually are directed to the Seilerstaette
address., or to the Press and Information Department at the Schwindgasse
address., while telephone communications, only., have gone to the Moedling
villa. It is known that considerable correspondence from the Soviet Union
goes to Moedling and thus evades censorship.6 In February 1953 it was

rumored that the WFTUplanned to move to Taborstrasse 1, Vienna II, in
the Soviet Sector, but so far the rumor has not been confirmed.? There have
also been recInt reports of a proposed move to Prague, but these too have
been unconfirmed. In view of the fact that the WFTU, in an effort to maintain
an "international" aura and free communications with the non-Communist world,
had made every effort to keep its headquarters in Western Europe,, it seems
unlikely that a change would be made, unless it were forced by action of
either the Austrian government or the Western occupation authorities.
There are two major billets or residences which are used by WFTU

visitors to the Headquarters, both located in the Soviet Sector
of Vienna. T1ese are the Hotel Stefanie at Vienna II, Taborstrasse 12, and
the Hotel Gold1enes Lamm at Wiedner Haupstrasse 7, Vienna IV.8 The most
important officials live in Soviet-requisitioned villas in Moedling, where
the official residence of the Secretary General, Louis SAILLANT is located.9
Recently, Neusetzgasse-6, Vienna, has been reported as a WFTU official

2. General Pattern of Administration.
The primary functions of the Secretariat have already been discussed
in the section on the Central Organization. In short, the Secretariat
directs and controls the activities of the Federation's many components.
It transforms the written directives of the Executive Bureau into positive
actions through an extensive communications system which reaches out to all
parts of the gbobe. The Secretariat is in daily communication, by telephone
or telegraph, with the headquarters of the various Trade Union Internationals
located in other countries. In most instances, the TUI officials make no
decisions until such time as they can consult with the proper authority in
the Secretariat. Similarly., contact is maintained with the central offices
of all the European national centers such as the CGT in Paris, the CGIL in
Rome (and its branches in other major Italian cities), the E.V.C. in Holland,
etc. There isp however, a slight difference between the relationship of the

Secretariat Wand the TUIs and its relationship with the national centers.
The national unions, being much older and extremely powerful politically
within their own countries, can display more independence of action than the
TUIs, which represent workers of a single industry on an international basis
and have a scattered membership. The great strength of the national centers
of Europe is obviously respected by the Secretariat, which receives few
requests for assistance from this component of the WFTU. It is notable, however,
that in the sections of the world where-national unions are not yet highly
developed, such as colonial, semi-colonial and underdeveloped areas, the
national centers are often dependent on the Secretariat for both moral and
financial support.
The general pattern of administration in the Secretariat may best be
described as "hierarchical". Analysis of the relations between various
offices in the Secretariat shows clearly that the routine conflict between
the higher and lower echelons normal to most organizations is practically
non-existent. Responsibilities are clear-cut. Whenever a problem arises
'directly involving a national center, contact is made between that center
and the functional department within headquarters responsible for the
geographic area in which the center is located. If a matter concerns the
activities of a TUI, direct contact is made between the Department for TUIps
at headquarters and the Secretary9s office of the TUI. In instances where
the Liaison Bureau has not been notified of the existence of a particular
problem in its jurisdiction, the Secretariat will coordinate the Bureaus
activities with those of the national center involved. Policy is made by
the Executive Bureau, which in turn receives its orders from Moscow. `thus,
in the final analysis, the Secretariat's work is dependent upon the program
evolved in the offices of the All Union Central Council of Trade Unions of
the U.S.S.R. 11

supervision o Carl VONWILLER, a Swiss citizen. VONrILLER is a frequent
visitor to the Secretariat in Vienna.
b. Employment Practices
Most of ,the lower level personnel at the Secretariat, i.e. clerks,
telephone operators, chauffers, typists, etc., are Austrians and residents of
Vienna. All Austrian personnel must have KPOe approval or background before
they may be hired, and some of them have worked previously for other Communist-
dominated groups such as INTRAC, the World Federation of Democratic Women, etc.
The international character of the WFTU, the voluminous correspondence in many
languages, the frequent contacts with delegates and trade, union personnel
from abroad, make it necessary that most of the staff be capable of working
in at least two languages. The Secretariat, in fact, seems to be constantly
in need of bi-lingual clerical and stenographic help. In its role as mentor
to the Trade Union Internationals, the Secretariat is often called upon to
furnish additipnal stenographers, translators, editors, and typists for con-
ferences and other gatherings sponsored by the TUI's. In August 1952, an
intercept of aitelephone call to Jean (probably Jeanine) SAILLANT from someone
in Prague indicated that the WFTU was in need of an English translator.
Prague requested the loan of "the translator LEESON" for two months. The re-
quest was refused because LEESON was the only English translator in the entire
Secretariat.14 At times the process is reversed, and the Secretariat makes
a call to one of the TUI1s, as it did in December 1952, with the message,
"A French translator is needed.1115 Personnel is also loaned to other Communist
organizations. In March of this year, the Secretariat received the
following request from Jean LAFITTE, an official of the World Peace Council.
"Kindly request you put the following translators at our disposal in
order to help us a meeting of World Peace Council Budapest: E. Altschul,
Allan Crozy, George Leeson. We are in a rather critical situation
with regard to translation work. We beg you to answer urgently."16
Most personnel coming from abroad are nominated for their position by
their local and national trade union groups. When a French typist, Elaine

REYNOUARD,,an employee of a leftist paper, wrote the Secretary of the
Departmental Union of Syndicates of Isere, Grenoble., her letter requesting
a position outside of France was forwarded to Henri TURRELL at the WFTU.
TURRELL replied to the Secretary of the Departmental Union that Mme. REYNOUARD
would be welcomed as an employee of the Secretariat on condition that her
nomination be approved by the national leadership of the CGT as well as her
local union, In her letter of application, REYNOUARD stressed the fact
that she had been trained both as a stenographer and typist, that she had
always worked for Communist-controlled organizations and was considered a
"good comrades". This same procedure was repeated in the application of
"Comrade Michele COQUAND". typist., a member of the Union Jeunesse de la
Republique Francaise: TURREL again stipulated that COQUAND obtain CGT
approval. 17
.There is record of one instance in which a person in financial
difficulty was advised to go to the WFTU in search of employment, Miss
Vivian PICK., residing c/o Mrs. MUELLER., 63/1 Tolbuchinstrasse, Vienna X. was
told by an unidentified friend in Japan with whom she had been corresponding
to call upon "the Japanese gentleman"., KANEKO, at the Secretariat and to
tell him that she had been instructed to do so by a friend of ""WATANABE"" and
that she needed employment; The person from Japan wrote Miss PICK,, "They
will procure there a job for you on which you can live,""18 It should be
noted that "WATANABE"" is probably Michio WATANABE., Japan's leading Communist
trade union leader.
L Publications.
The leading publication of the WFTU is a fortnightly review, World
Trade Union Movement., which is printed in Chinese., English,, French, German,
Rumanian, Russian., Spanish and Swedish. At the June 1952 WFTU Editors"
Conference, sometimes called a "propaganda conference",, it was decided to
make this organ the voice of "writers and professional people., and public
figures outside of trade union circles" in an effort to "gather intellectual
forces" around the Federation to prevent its isolation and broaden its appeal, 19

The Swedish dition of 1 T , was first published as recently as December
1952.20 In February of 1953 it was alleged that the WFTU had begun to print
pamphlets, and possibly an edition of WTUM, written in Arabic.21 More
recently it has been reported that an Indian edition of 1,WTUM was scheduled
to be published in Bombay early in July of this year. Reportedly the
Secretariat has placed 000 I1 at the disposal of S. A. DANGE, President of the
All-India Trade Union Congress, for this purpose. The Indian edition will be
in Hindi and will be primarily a translation of the regular journal, but in
addition it will contain special Indian and Pakistani articles.22 The
English edition of 1rYTUI{, as well as English language pamphlets and posters,
is published by WFTU Publications Ltd., 6 Chichester Chambers, Chichester
Rents, London, England, with presses located at the Narod Press, 129/131
Cavell Street.23 Material for the Swedish edition of W= is sent to
Mrs. Irja HAG 'ORS, 19A Vuorimiehenkatur, Helsinki, Finland and distributed
by VARLDS FACITORENINGS RORELSEN, Box 281, Helsinki. 24 The French language
edition of W M is printed by the Societe Francaise .i'Editions et de
Publications yndicales Internationales, under the guidance of E. POIR?T,
while the Spallnish language editions of WFTU publications are prepared by the
CTAL (Confederacion Trabajadores de la America Latina) headquarters in
Mexico City under the direction of Antonio GARCIA MORERA. Correspondence
between the CTAL and the Vienna office reveals that the costs of all regular
WFTU publications are borne by the WFTU Secretariat. In December 1952 the
CTAL cabled Vienna for $1,000 to pay for the printing of some pamphlets.25
In February of 1953, the CTAL requested $10,000 from the WFTU to cover the
costs of printing issues #2 through #5 of WTUM and for payment of un-
i
specified old
debts. The Secretariat, however, appears to have considered
this action somewhat presumptuous. Alfred BORDIER, upon receiving the
request for $10,000, immediately wired the CTAL the following messages
"We are'f orwarding report. We consider the price of the magazine too
high. The price amounted to 6,400 pesos per number for 1952. We shR.l
send funds exclusively for the purpose of publication of magazines."

In addition to WTUMb the WFTU publishes a daily information bulletin.V
at present printed only in French, the purpose of which is "to acquaint
the masses of._the world with the activity of trade union organizations and
conditions of working people;' 27 When a special propaganda campaign is in
process, or when there is an extraordinary conference, such as the Inter-
national Social Security Conference or the Conference in Defense of the
Rights of Youth, publications from TUI presses and national trade union
groups are used. For example, at the Social Security Conference held in
March 1953 in Vienna, there were pamphlets printed by the following organiza-
tions:,.
WFTU Publications Ltd., London.
Otto HORN, Vienna.
French Society for National Trade Union Publications, Paris.
National Federation of Miners, Paris.
Foreign Language Press, Peking. 28
Foreign Languages Publishing House, Moscow.
A censorship intercept dated 6 June 1953 definitely shows that the AITUC
(All-India Trade Union Congress) is making a special effort to publish and
circulate notices of the forthcoming Third World Congress. `.These appeals,
published in eight Indian languages, are to be circulated to "militant
advanced cadres of unions and independent trade federations of different
industries". In addition, a pamphlet explaining the role of the IJFTU in the
"international working class movement and the significance of the Congress"
was produced and circulated in conjunction with the regular Hindu language
edition of World Trade Union Movement.29 This is a typical example of WFTU
distribution methods. Special pamphlets are often printed and inserted into
the regular editions of WTUM in the form of supplements.
The coordination of all WFTU publications takes place in Vienna.
Articles are solicited and reviewed with the help of the publications
offices of the national centers, special correspondents in various countries.
and the offices cited previously. The liaison between these groups and the
Secretariat is usually maintained by the correspondents and editors, (or
draftsmen as the Secretary General calls them) attached to the five regional

bureaus in the Department for Relations with National Centers. The final
layout of each edition of the magazine is always determined by the Vienna
office in consultation-with the WFTU "responsible" in the Palace of Labor
in Moscow, This "Moscow responsible", according to censorship intercepts,
is Alexander RITIKOFF. He receives daily telephone calls from the Secretariat,
most of them concerned with the editing and translating of articles, the
selection of photographs and cartoons, and other matters common to the
publishing business, There are instances known when an order from Moscow
has caused the deletion of certain texts from articles in WTUM, Two instances
have been reported where Vienna was ordered to change an article because
certain passages did not agree with "the official point of view". On one
occasion an article was requested of Vienna from Moscow, giving "the official
point of view'. In some cases, Moscow has instructed Vienna to publish a
particular article in the French, but not the English edition of the journal.30
The Secretariat has informal contact with numerous leftist publications
and news agencies. There are frequent telephone calls and letters to the
Paris office of Octave RABATE, labor editor of the French Communist daily,
L'Humanite 31, Early this year, the Editor of Labour Monthly, W. P. DUTT,
approached Thomas McWHINNIE, English editor of WTUM, and suggested that a
six-month trill package subscription to Labour Monthly and WTIiM be offered at
less than cost to 'nt re
1 e sted unions. After considering the matter, the
Secretariat rejected the proposal, but agreed to place a small regular ad-
vertisement for Labour Monthly in the WFTU magazine.32 In addition, the WFTU
has set up a distribution service for "liberal" newspapers throughout the
world, providing mimeographed advance copies of WFTU articles on a biweekly
basis to be used by these organizations as they see fit.33 Material is
also sent to peace committees, youth groups and other fronts receptive to
WFTU propaganda. Appendix D lists the outlets for the English language
edition of World `Trade Union Month ; if one considers that there are at
least eight di fferent editions of this magazine, each of which probably has

apparatus for the dissemination of Communist ideology provided by the WFTUO
5. Finances
The WFTU deals with several banks., the most important being the Soviet
Military Bank in Vienna, where the WFTU maintains account, number 154.469,
and the State Bank of Czechoslovakia in Prague,, account number, 9973203
Although the exact budget of the Secretariat is not known, censorship inter-
cepts and other documents present a fairly clear picture of the nature of
its financial activities. These'are concerned, primarily, with collecting
dues from constituent units;*financing publications bearing the WFTU banner,
providing strike "relief" to member unions., subsidizing delegates traveling
in behalf of the WFTU, and donating funds to other Soviet oriented fronts and
propaganda movements. The foregoing are specific examples of the Secretariatvs
pecuniary activities in behalf of the Federation.
In 1951, the Czech Trade Unions gave 12,000 pounds ($3.3,600) in dues to
the Secretariat, and the Chinese Trade Unions gave 26,447 pounds ($74,051)
in dues plus $30,000 toward the "Solidarity Fund"."' On 17 July 1951, the
Chinese Federation of Labor, Peking, wrote a letter to "comrades ROSTOVSKY
.and BORDIER" giving its computation of the membership fee for the "second
trimester". The fee submitted was 8,759 pounds, based on a current member-
ship of 5,496,471.35 That same year., the Rumanian Trade Unions gave 11,500
pounds (32.,500) in dues and $13,9071 for "the Spanish strike".36 On May 18,
19529 the GOSBANK, Moscow, cabled the Soviet Military Bank in Vienna to
transfer 122,250 Swiss francs from the "Chinese Commission WFTU, Pe Icing
to the WFTU, Vienna03? This payment represents membership dues and a
No information on the exact dues paid by affiliated "National Centers"
to the WFTU is available. On the basis of information cited on p.55 below;,
it is possible to deduce that each "National Center" pays to the WFTU four-
pounds sterling per thousand members per year.
The International Solidarity Fund is a special treasury maintained by
the Vienna Secretariat the funds of which are used to support international
strike movements, propaganda campaigns., and other worthy communist cause.r0
The All-China Federation of Labor; the translation of this is
probably at fault.

contribution to the International- Solidarity Fund for the third quarter of
1952. Dues i,n 1952 were based on a membership pf 7,300,000 in the All
China Federation of Labor (ACFL), while the contribution to the ".Solidarity
Fund" amounted to 30,000 Swiss francs. Fortunately for the WFTU, the
membership ofithe ACFL increased during 1953, the dues for the first quarter
of this year, amounting to 142,500 Swiss francs, now being based on a reported
membership of 10,000,000. The usual amount, 30,000 Swiss francs, was sent for
the "Solidarity Fund".39 This information points to the conclusion that in
1953 the VIF11 will collect approximately $140,000 in dues from the Chinese
Trade Unions alone. Similar tribute is exacted from the unions of all the
satellites, where WF`I'U membership is compulsory for all labor. If one adds to
this the dues coming from such powerful national unions as the French CGT
and the Italian CGIL, with membership numbering in the millions, it is
obvious to even the most conservative speculator that the annual income of the
WFTU runs into hundreds of thousands of dollars.
The disbursements of the Secretariat are correspondingly large, as the
following excerpts from VJTFTU correspondence will show. It should be noted
that these examples of requests for financial aid from the Secretariat are
but a small part of the total demands on the WFTU treasury. In October 1951,
W TU affiliates in Chile and Uruguay wrote to the Secretariat requesting
funds to defray the traveling expenses of their delegates to a meeting of the
Executive Committee in Berlin, Germany. Serge ROSTOVSKY, then Assistant
Secretary General for National Centers, etc., replied to the Latin Americans,
telling them that all such requests should be referred to V. LOMBARDO and the
CTAL in Mexico City. On October 26th LOMBARDO sent the following message.
to the WFTU:
"We need,very urgently another $8,000 subsidies to delegates of 13
countries a d the members of the Secretariat of the CTRL. We shall produce
exact detai s in person."
Three days later, the CTAL sent a second telegram to the effect that it:

Uruguay requested. For expenses delegates Mexico, Cuba, Ecuador and

In all probability, the Secretariat sent the required money. On 18 March
1952, the Czechoslovakian State Bank requested the National City Bank of New
York to forward $39000 to Vincent LOMBARDO, In December 1952,E the WFTU
instructed Juan VARGAS Puebla, Secretary for Foreign Relations of the General.
Confederation of Labor of Chile, to represent the V,~FTU at the Technical
Workers Conference of the International Trade Organization at Lima, Peru,
adding that "all expenses to be paid by us."42 One week later,, LOMBARDO
telegraphed SAILLANT requesting $1,000 "for purpose of presence at the Council
meetings of the Executive Bureau".
During the early months of 19539 a period when several WFTU sponsored
meetings took place, there were numerous pleas for delegates' travel funds
from every corner of the globe, few of which were refused. This is particularly
true of requests from unions in Africa? Asia and the Near East, where the-
national centers are weakest or non-existent and where the Communists have been
trying to associate the struggle for trade union rights with the desire for
national independence and recognition. In some cases the Secretariat was
forced to refuse funds, as is indicated by the following telegram from Jan
DESSAU to Hansen GERMER9 Donningens9 Tvargade 3, Copenhagen, Denmark, which
said, "Wire address to which we should send plane tickets. Can send only
three."44 The same thing occurred in 1952 when Louis SAILIANT advised the
KLM,office in Bogota, Colombia, to cancel the plane tickets to Paris for
Tirso VALDIVIESO, Uriel SALAS and Jesus VILLEGAS PalacLos.. The text of the
cable was, "Sponsor has no interest in travel of Valdivieso, Salas, and
Villegas. Cancel passages, money to be returned to sponsor.h5 In one
instance, funds for the reimbursement of delegates to the Social. Security
Conference, held in March 1953, in. Vienna, were not sent directly to the
labor union which they represented but were transferred to an intermediary,
On 9 June 19539 the Secretariat sent the message, "Cost of tickets tansferred
to Lemyethus Trading Company"9 to Thakin LUAYE, Trade Union Council of Burma,
Rangoon.46

idarity Fund" of the TvFT1J is used to support strike actions and
demonstrations by WFTU affiliates and non-affiliated unions over which the
Communists hope to increase their influence. Correspondence between the All-
India Trade Union Council and the t^rFTU. during June and July of 1952 reveals
that the TUI of Chemical Workers, through the Secretariat, sent 500 pounds
sterling and $1,500 to strikers at the TATA Chemical Works in India. Since
most of the funds arrived after the strike was over, the AITUC was permitted
to use them ";for organizational purposes. t'G7 In 1950, the WFTU had transmitted,
through the Asian Liaison Bureau, $4,600 to the Pakistan Trade Union Federation.
In December of 1951, however, LIU Ning-i wrote the Secretariat in Vienna that
since that date, the Bureau had been unable to find ways and means to send
any more money "because all the comrades with whom the Bureau established
contact have been arrested., ,48 In November, 1952, the Secretariat sent
financial aid, to striking Railroad Workers in India and 200 pounds sterling to
port workers striking in Limassol, Cypru8.49 In December, similar aid was sent
to Iceland in, response to an appeal from Bjorn BJARNASONN, leader of the IDJA
(Icelandic Factory Workers Union). At this time BJARNASONts group was not
affiliated with the WFTU, and requested help from the Secretariat only after
aid had been refused by the non-communist ICFTU (International Confederation
of Free Trade Unions), Recently, BJARNASON made formal application for WFTU
membership.
Money islalso sent as a "gift" to workers in distress because of floods,
explosions, and other natural catastrophes. The floods that engulfed parts
of England and most of the Lowlands during the late winter of 1952-1953
provided the WFTU with an excellent opportunity to publicize its "humanitarian"
aims. The Chinese National Red Cross, the All-China Federation of Labor, and
the All-China~Federation of Democratic Women and Youth informed the Secretariat
on 13 March 1053 that the following amounts of Swiss francs had been sent for
the flood vie-ims: England - 279,300; Netherlands -.239,400; Belgium-

forward $4,000 to Jan Van WIJNGAARDEN, Treasurer of the EVC, Amsterdam.,
ostensibly to be used for flood relief, 51 In May 1953, $1,00 was sent to the
CTAL for "relief for the families of miners who were victims of the catastrophe",
(which one is not indicated). 52 Within a week, LOMBARDO had sent a letter
transmitting this amount to the Mexican Miners' Union in Mexico City. An
official of the union made a copy of this letter available to the American
Embassy, informing officials there that the union would neither accept the
money offered nor acknowledge the accompanying letter.53
In addition to the regular office costs of the Secretariat, the WFTU must
defray the costs of operating its United Nations liaison offices and assist
the TUI9s in paying for large trade conferences. It has been estimated that
the cost of the Geneva office of the WFTU for 1952, based on an actual 1951
budget, was 3,599 Swiss francs. The cost of operating the New York office
in 1951, and the estimated expense for 1952, is reported to be about $10,500.54
The money for the New York office is sent to Elinor KAHN, Chief of the New
York office, through the United Nations Branch of the Chemical Bank of New
York. On 1 October 1952, Mrs. KAHN wrote Alfred BORDIER as f ollows
"As you will see, nay balance at 30 September was $1,5o5.45e, which after
payment of October salary and rent will leave me something under $900.00.
I would therefore appreciate receiving a draft as quickly as possible. I

KPOe information without indulging in the belittlings or denunciations common
in the usual non-Communist press treatment of the Party.

is assisted in his task by the French unionist, Benoit FRACHON, who at the
time of the iting of this report was eluding French authorities in a
hideout somewhere in Europe. The location of this hideout, incidently, is
known to Loins SAILLANT, and it is probable that the 7FTU keeps in touch
with FR.ACHON,72 Reputedly, KUTUZOV is a member of the press and information
section of the Department of Relations with National Centers, but his pre-
sence at the' Secretariat is not confirmed by censorship intercepts.#73
One of , the controls which the Soviets maintain over the Secretariat
is that of censorship, a weapon which they employ constantly. In January 1952,
for example,,the WFTU had asked the Swedish Trade Union Office, Barnhusgayan 18,
Stockholm for copies of its information bulletins. One such bulletin, dated
18 January 1952 and entitled "Legal Slavery", dealt with the existence of
slave labor camps within the Soviet Union. It revealed the Soviet laws
under which people may be sent to these camps and indicated the previous
admissions o
these conditions by Soviet officials before the U.N.
General Assembly. This pamphlet was never delivered to the WFTU. In spite
of the fact that the Secretariat had specifically requested e,his material
from Sweden, it was confiscated by the Quadripartite Censorship on the order
of the Soviet Element.7~`
7. Communications.
a. Ov t Communications.
On ordinary matters, regular mail service is used for communication
between the 4FTU and its components, but the nature of its mission precludes
the use of overt media alone. As has been indicated before in this
report, the distribution of WFTU publications, announcements of meetings
and congresses, etc., is made primarily through overt channels. Recently
it has been reported that in the course of the Executive Committee meeting
KUTUZ9V is not listed in any document as a Soviet official in
Vienna, nor does his name appear in CCG intercepts. Theiefoxe> the identity
of this offi~ial, who was reported in June, 1952, to be a member of the
Press and Information Section of the WFTU Secretariat, cannot be
established.

held in Vienna in February 1953, the WFTU sent telephonic accounts of
the proceedings to European capitals in both the Western and Eastern blocs.
The lack of coverage of WFTU affairs by established news agencies, a
subject of complaint by WFTU officials and conference delegates, forced
this action upon the Secretariat. 75 The preparatory material for the
Third World Trade Union Congress to be held this year reflects this
desire of the WFTU to increase overt coverage, particularly in the non-
Communist world, of its meetings; for the first time in several years,
invitations to attend the Congress have been extended to many Western
press agencies and newsmen,
Even when the regular mail is used by the WFTU, the routing of its
correspondence is, on occasion, unusual. A notebook found in the possession
of a WFTU employee entering Austria following the expulsion of the Secre-
tariat from France contained the following notes 4ILE LEAP, in charge of
liason between the CGT and the WFTU, to send his communications by way
of Geneva or Chile," 76 During this same period, Henri FRITSCH, responsible
for Eastern Mediterranean and African Affairs, sent a letter to Jacques N~GOM,
Secretary General of the Cameroun Trade Unions, referring to the difficulty
encountered by the WFTU in attempting to communicate with Africa. FRITSCH
.suggested that all important communications concerning Africa be addressed
to Sergei ROSTOVSKY, Moedling bei Wien, Roseggerweg 13, Austria, This
address, as has been noted previously, is the villa of Louis SAILLANT in
the Soviet Zone of Austria; since Moedling is in the Soviet Zone, all
material sent via this route is free from Quadripartite Censorship, although
still subject to Soviet scrutiny.
Most of the overt material mailed from the WFTU bears the. originating
address Heinrich WINTER, Seilerstaette 3, Vienna, Austria; but in.
May 1953, propaganda material from the Secretariat was mailed to a
Brazilian CTAL official from Finland. The envelope containing the material
was stamped with a Helsinki postmark but had no return address. Often,

communications by mail follow a triangular pattern, as in the following
case. The Workers Federation of the Federal District and State of Miranda
in Caracas, Venezuela, a Communist-dominated group led by Rudolfo
QUINTERO, maintains contact by mail with the WFTU through Enrique AQUERO
Gorrin, a Venezuelan lawyer residing in Caracas. Enrique AQUERO Gorrin
submits correspondence through the regular mails to his brother, Leonardo
AGUERO Gorrin, a resident of Milan, Italy. The mail is sent to him at
Ferrovie del.o Staff;o, Cassella Postale No. 3787, Milano, and then forwarded
to the WFTU Vienna. Return correspondence from the Secretariat to QUINTERO
is sent by Leonardo AGUERO to his brother or to his mother, Viuda de AGUERO
78
Gorrin, residing at Misterio al Quebrada No. 11, Caracas. Correspondence
written by the Belgian Communist Trade unions, whose offices are at
35 rue de Russie, Brussels, to SAILLANT at the WFTU, is mailed in double
envelopes. The outer envelope is addressed to Carlo CHIA.PPO, 2 Corso
Gallileo Ferraris, Turin, Italy, and bears no indication of the sender.
From Turin, the correspondence is sent on to the Secretariat in Vienna
under the proper address.79
There is evidence, also, of the use of the WFTU office in Geneva for
the forwarding of packages and mail from abroad. The following address
label was taken from a shipment of material destined for Vienna and orig-
inating in New York. The contents of this particular package were chiefly
cigarettes, canned goods, and printed matter. The source cited this as an
. example of the way the WFTU receives large quantities of overseas mail,
most of whic
is carried by Air France via Zurich or Geneva to Vienna.
It will be noted that the address on the label is that of the Swiss
Confederation of Labor, home office of Carl VONWILLER, WFTU liaison man
80
in Geneva.

bo Clandestine Communications.
The Secretariat is believed to use several channels of communications,
including Soviet military telephones and vehicles, couriers, and Soviet
diplomatic mail. The entire network of clandestine contacts is, of course,
not known, but there exists concrete evidence of such a network, the
most important of which will be presented here.
Before the designation of the CTAL as the official Liaison Bureau for
the WFTU in Latin America, Vincent LOMBARDO Toiedano communicated with the
WFTU through the Soviet Embassy in Mexico City. LOMBARDO maintained indirect
contact with Avetik E. BADALIAN, Counsellor of the Soviet Embassy, through
Jose MANCISIDOR, head 'of the Federation of Organizations to Aid Republican
Spain, and Rodolfo DORANTESO At one time it was reported that DORANTES
and Beatriz BABAD, then head of the Polish Press Agency in Mexico City,
served as LOMBARDO?S contacts with Josef WELKER, former First Secretary of
the Polish Legation in Mexico City.81 It has been alleged that, during
this period, confidential correspondence and funds forwarded to the CTAL
by the WFTU were sent through the Soviet, Polish and Czech diplomatic
pouches.
A courier service for the WFTU is known to operate between Vienna
and Moscow,, Trieste, France, Germany, Hungary, Czechoslovakia, Poland and
the U.S. This information has been derived primarily from et-nsorrhip
intercepts, of which the following is typical. On July a, 1951, a tele-
phone call from Vladimir BATSCHITSEV, of the Department of TUI?S;, to

Jan WONDRAS in Prague reveals that the Prague office was sending "a package"
to the border on the next day, while the party in Vienna informed Prague,
"Our two packages will come to the border on Sunday at 1900 hours."
On July 11, 1951, Jean DUTRE, calling from the CGT in Paris, asked
Jacqueline LEVY, SAILLANT's secretary, "When will the courier come to Paris?"
She replied that the courier would be leaving Vienna that very evening
"at half past seven." 82 On one occasion Andre FRESSINET, then Secretary
General of the TUI of Seamen and Dockers, wrote Serge ROSTOVSKY:
"We have the pleasure of informing you that the courier of the
USA arrives regularly at the Office of International Union in Gdynia,*
and that we have direct contact with the President of that Federation.
The same applies for the courier from Vienna apart from certain letters
addressed to the Secretary General in Paris."
The "courier from the USA" is a representative of the International Union
of Marine Cooks and Stewards, and the "President of the Federation" is
Hugh BRYSON,head of the American counterpart union with headquarters
at 86 Commerlial Street, San Francisco, California. (The letters referred
to by FRESSINET were subsequently intercepted and proved to be from BRYSON.)
It is an established fact that the WFTU has access to Soviet military
communications and to a special one-day through plane service from Vienna
to Moscow. On 16 March 1953, Michel QUATREPOINT, of the CGT, called
Jacqueline LEVY and told her that the CGT would "require ten tickets for
the Vienna -Mscow airplane after the 22nd," LEVY informed the Frenchman
84
that the plane departs Vienna for Moscow every Thursday, weather permitting,
All WFTU personnel traveling in "safe" transport, such as this plane,
Soviet train and official cars, probably serve as couriers. In innumer-
able cases, monitored telephone calls reveal that travelling WFTU personnel
with impressive amounts of "luggage" which must be transported.
It is highly'probable that much of this "luggage" is of an official WFTU
nature. Typically, two or three persons coming from a satellite country
will request'two cars to transport them and their baggage. Since many

of these persons are revealed to be on relatively short trips, it seems
inconceivable that three or four pieces of luggage would be required for
personal effects alone.
One of the most interesting links in the WFTU communications system
is found in the organization of Air France. In 1951, it was reported that
with the aid of one.TOTZAUR, an employee of this airline, the WFTU was for-
warding correspondence on Air France letterhead stationery. In 1952,
it was alleged that Heinrich WINTER was carrying sealed packages from the
Secretariat to the main offices of Air France in Vienna. The packages
were turned over to a liaison man who would then consign them to certain
trusted pilots, who would in turn deliver them to WFTU links in Paris.
The importance of the Transport Workers' Unions in the WFTU communications
scheme is clearly reflected in this Air France-Secretariat relationship.
A handful of transport workers, properly placed on planes to key cities
throughout Europe, provide the WFTU with a flexible and censor-free
communications system.$6
c. Personnel Movements.
The non-cooperation of Austrian legations in. the granting of visas
for WFTU members is a major obstacle to WFTU operations. The procrastination
of the Austrian officials, unfortunately, does not prevent essential
movements by WFTU employees because the Secretariat, aided by the Soviets,
has recourse to other means of operation. Austrian border restrictions, for
example, are evaded by the simple device of sending private cars* to
isolated border-crossing points to meet delegates, couriers, and others
who have not procured Austrian visas. The most frequented pick-up points
are in an area near Bratislava on the Czech border and at Begysholom on
the Hungarian border. Personnel from the Balkans and the Near East
# According to records at the Vienna Verkehrsamt9 a black Tatraplan
passenger sedan, license W-22308, was registered on 10 May 1951 as belonging to
the WFTU. The WFTU obtained the car from INTRAC, Singerstrasse 27,, Vienna I.
The car was kept in the Drasa Garag Kleine Sperlgasse, Vienna II, when
last reported on in September 1951.

enter Austri~ through Hungary, while those from the Western European
countries usually travel to Vienna via Prague. When necessary, WFTU
personnel have access to Soviet military transport. Only recently,
Vladimir ROS
RGLJEV called Franz BOZOKI in Budapest to inquire why
Peter KOSAKOO had not arrived in Vienna as scheduled. BOZOKI replied
that KOSAKOVIdid not have "that card"; consequently, the Soviet
Kommandatura,had cautioned him not to travel by train. ROSTERGLJEV
informed BOZOKI thL.t KOSAKOV could travel on the "Soviet train" passing
through Budapest that day. When boarding the train, he was to notify the
"Commander" in charge that he was traveling for the WFTU and was expected,
without delay, in Vienna. The Secretariat rather curtly informed
KOSAKOW thatlno card was needed in such cases. 89
In November of 1952, considerable difficulty was encountered by the
Secretariat n transporting five Italian "comrades" enroute to Moscow. The
CGIL in Rome notified the WFTU that the "comrades" were arriving in Vienna
and expected'to be met by "friends from the Soviet Embassy". From Vienna,
the group was to take a train to Prague, where connections would be made
with a plane for Moscow. The authorities in Prague, however, suddenly
discovered that the train from Vienna would arrive two hours after the
scheduled departure of the special plane.

b. Physical Security.
Insofar as international conferences are concerned, we have the
following examples of WFTU security procedures. In July 1949, a source
reporting on the WFTU Congress in Milan said that it was impossible to
gain admittance to the WFTU meetings because of the tight security controls.
"Four controls and searches must be passed, exhibiting and depositing
personal documents, before admission may be gained. Such secrecy is
maintained in order to prevent identification of delegates from countries
where their governments might persecute them were they known to be adherents
of the WFTU."92

a branch of the international cadre school of the WFTU would be opened in
Prague early in May, in accordance with the February decision. According
to .a report in Interreport Ost, officials of the WFTU transport workers
unions are to be trained in two parallel classes of 100 to 200 students
each. Training of cadre from the Western countries will be handled by
French members of the Secretariat, while training of members from the
Eastern countries will be handled by Czech members of the staff. The
International Bureau of the Czech Trade Union Federation., headed by Fran-
tizek ZUPKA, is alleged to be "responsible" for the schools.

ELLRICH was to receive training in Vienna or Prague is not clear, and it is
possible that he will receive instruction in both cities. It has even been
alleged thatIthe real reason for shifting the World Teachers' Congress meeting
from Berlin to Vienna, in July of 1953, was in order that the delegates
might participate in classes at a FISE (World Federation of Teachers' Unions,
a TUI) cadre school said to be located there. 102 Against this allegation,
however, it must be considered that the factor in the WFTU's last-minute
decision to change the locale of the FISE meeting may have been the workers'
uprising
in une and July in East Berlin. In this connection, a telegram
from Oldrich
STELCLAIN, FISE, c/o WFTU Vienna, to MORRIS, 23 Belsize Park
Gardens, London, N.W. 2, England, reveals that twelve English teachers
will "participate in the second session 4-25 August" of some-unspecified
kind of school.`-- The July issue of Teachers of the World, the FISE bi-
monthly bulletin, invites all teachers to attend two courses to be given
by the union in Vienna during July and August. The courses will center around
the themes, "The Teachers' Struggle for Unity and Peace" and "Principles of
Democratic Education," broad titles which may include many forms of
Communist activity.

The highly diversified information targets sought by the WFTU, some of
which are only distantly related to trade union activity and interest,
(such as information concerning the State budget, treaties with the
"imperialists," et al) are clearly indicated in this outline. 104
Ostensibly, the WFTU office in New York is concerned with U.N. affairs
only, but Elinor KAHN engages in extra- 25X1 C 10
curricular activities to some degree. She sends a continuous flow of .
information on U.S. industrial development, financial policy, and military
activity to the Secretariat. During the late Fall and Winter of 1952, and
the Spring of this year, she sent the following publications to Jan DESSAU
in Vienna:
Exporters Digest for November 1952 (contains information on American
investment abroad,' MSA expenditures, etc.)
Daily Freight Record for 17 November 1952? Mrs. KAHN writes, "This

11. WFTU I fired Sabotage-and Strike ct?on .
It has already been demonstrated that the WFTU,enables the Soviets
to acquire valuable industrial intelligence; in addition, WFTU-inspired
labor actioneffec'.ively hampers Western rearmament and -contributes..
to political unrest. in colonial areas. In the_,Far East, the WFTU
possesses a powerful weapon for sabotaging allied war shipments and diplomacy.
At the Peking Conference held in November, 1949, extensive plans were made
for such actoi. in South East Asia According to a reliable source,
Serge ROSTOVSKY, at a closed meeting of the Commission on Organization
of this__conf7rence declared;
"Te time has come to speak....to our comrades from Viet Nam,
Singapore, n
Ceylon, India, Indonesia and Australia; are you willing to
undertake a concrete effort to tie up war convoys in the Pacific? We
are not unrealistic. We do not ask for much. But certain ports
must be.seriQusly organized, if for no other purpose, at least for
launching the movement by giving a good start to it."
The Australian delegate, FOX, confidently predicted that his union would
start the campaign in Brisbane, and all agreed that Calcutta, Saigon and
{
Brisbane were
the ports where the "concentration" work should be undertaken.
The Chinese t ade unions were to center their activities in Hong Kong and
Singapore, making liberal
use of Chinese contacts in foreign countries.
The Asian Liason Bureau was to draft a tentative plan based on these
preliminary decisions, and also would forward to the "revolutionary
opposition" in the United States sufficient data for it to begin a "concen-
i 117
tration" on the Pacific Coast.
During this same meeting, YAKOVLEVF a member of the Soviet delegation,
outlined the communications network which would prevail in the Far East.

"The organization of secret channels for permanent communication
is equally of great importance. The Executive Bureau of the WFTU
,decided that the Liaison Bureau of Peiping should be supplemented
by a permanent committee for liaison with South East Asia in
Bangkok, Siam, to which the All-India Trade Union Congress would. pro-
vide a permanent representative. At all instances, the "labour
attache" of the Legation of the U.S.S.R. must be contacted. Another
delegate must be maintained at the Headquarters in Mandalay where he
must work with the permanent representative of the Communist parties
of India and Pakistan. All demands for funds must be first O.K?d by
the Liaison Bureau in Peiping. They will be available in Bangkok,
or if arrangements can be made, through Indian banks and trustworthy
representatives in Hong Kongo"
The Far Eastern representatives were cautioned by Leonid SOLOVIEV to "bear
in mind the strict difference existing between the legal and insurrectionary
work." The main activities of the AITUC, for example, would be ii the
"legal" sphere; even so, SOLOVIEV'warned, "It must observe a concentration
of activities in regions where; earlier or later, insurrectionary centers
might come into existence.." such as West Bengal and Madras.
:In July 1951, it was reported that Louis SAILLANT had directed the
Central Committee of the WFTU's Indonesian affiliate.. SOBSI, to begin
agitating among the workers of the Indonesian oil industry. Among other
things, the agitation was to encompass strikes and other disturbances in
support of nationalization of the oil industry and the organization of
"Peace Partisan Units" to sabotage oil production in time of emergency
and prevent it from aiding the "American Imperialists." 119
On the opposite side of the globe in Europe, the WFTU has concentrated
its resources on the fight against Western rearmament and United States
economic aid. Patrick WALSH, a former Communist courier and labor organ-
izer from Quebec, Canada, testified in July of this year that in 1948 he
had attended a meeting of "top Communists" held in Genoa, Italy. He
asserted that plans were made by the Communist-led WFTU for a seamen's
strike aimed at crippling the Marshall Plan. According to WALSH, the work
stoppage, which affected shipping in Canada, England, Italy and North
Africa, was "a political strike with no bonafide trade union principles

 Approved For Release 1999/09/20 : CIA-RDP78-02849A000100200001-6
whatsoever." 12U The Canadian phase of the strike, which WALSH helped
promote, lasted seven months and became the point about which the WFTU
rallied its forces. It called for support of the Canadian Seamen's.Union
from all European labor Y but only its affiliated 1 V 1 ? s responded.
During the month of February, 1950, there were several anti-MDAP
actions and demonstrations in France. At Nice, for example, demonstrators
threw material destined for Yugoslavia into the sea, while dockers in
St. Nazaire, and Dunkirk and Marseille refused to load material destined
for Indo-China, 22
In January, 1951, it was reported that the Seamen and Dockers_TUI_
in Gydnia had requested a list of ships carrying war materials destined
for Europe an i d sailing from United States East coast ports. The list was
requested from the "American Association of Navigators." Soon after,
Pete GOODMlN, of the "Maritime Committee in Defense of Al Lannon," requested
the TUI to prepare a list of "trusted members" in lesser European ports,
such as Aarhu Bergen, Christiansand, and St. Nazaire, where ships are
often rerouted when the larger ports are strike-bound. In reply to this
request, the #UI furnished the names of the following persons deemed
capable of organizing strikes and boycott actions in Europe:
Tito B NCALANA; Umberto BASTIOTTO - National Secre+. ry of the
.Dalian Federation of Maritime Workers, (FILM), 19 Via Boncam-
p6gnia, Rome.
Guiseppe SAVA - Secretary of the FILM in Venice.

GeorgesLAHOURETATE - Dockers Union, 28 Rue des Faures, Bayonne.

Dunkerque.
In June 1951, documents entitled, "Agent Provocateur... Primary and
Simple Methods-of Creating Unrest and Training Merchant Ships' Crews
to be released from Capitalist Authority," were found aboard several
British ships in Mediterranean ports. Although the British Communist
Party denied that these pamphlets were distributed by WFTU members,
there is little doubt that their dissemination was directed by the

Seame13s' TUI. A similar case, reported in August 1951, involved. the trans-
porting of pamphlets originating with the Seamen and Dockers? TUI to
Antwerp. Pamphlets edited in French, English, Italian and Spanish, were
carried by courier on the Polish ship POKOJ to Antwerp, where they were
handed over to Franz VAN DEN BRANDEN, VAN DEN BRANDEN then turned them over
to "hommes de donfiance" charged with placing them abroard ships in this
vital port.124 It has also been reported that the Executive of the FDGB
(Free German Trade Union Federation) in the Eastern Zone of Germany sent
100,000 DM by special couriers, to the "Fighting Committee of All Sea and
Inland Ports of Western Germany"; the fund was to be used for wild-cat
strikes among dockworkers. Six months later, in May 1952, a reliable
source advised that a labor syndicate had been organized in Genoa, Italy,
to coordinate the activities of the workers in. all Mediterranean ports.
Propaganda was found on a Spanish ship calling on "Port workers and sailors
of the Mediterranean" to oppose the plans of NATO and the "warmongers"; the
appeal was signed by the "Peace Committee of the Port of Genoa", which
group has been cited by the TUI as one of its organs.125
The provocation of strikes and industrial unrest, however, is not
confined to the transport unions alone. The engineering, metal working
and other fields offer primary targets for WFTU infiltration. In February
1952, for instance, the Engineering and Allied Trades Shop Stewards
National Council of Great Britain sent delegates to a Metal and Engineering
Workers TUI Conference 'held in Vienna. When the British delegates, led
by Dave MICHAELSON, returned, the Council passed a number of resolutions
designed to implement the WFTU policy of delaying the Western armament
program. Later, during the year strikes occurred at S. Smith and Sons,
Cricklewood; at Briggs Motor Bodies; at Ford?s; and at Park Royal Vehicles,
all of which are engaged in work for rearmament 126

functions whch the Executive Bureau and the Second World Congress of the
WFTU assigned to the
Liaison Bureaus. For the most part, they assist the
Secretariat itn maintaining its contacts and communications throughout the
world. The Bureaus may be regarded as "auxiliaries" to the over-all
organization of the WFTU; at this point in their development, they are not
as essential~to the WFTU as are the TUI's or the individual national
unions affiliated to it.
1. The Latil American Bureau.
The CTRL Co
, nfederacion Trabajadores de la America Latina, was founded
in 1936 by the prominent Mexican leftist, V. LOMBARDO Toledano. In 1949,
at a meeting of the WFTU Executive Committee, a resolution was approved
wherein the W.TU decided:
"1. To consider the Confederation of Workers of Latin America
(CTAL) as the organism of liaison and coordination of the WFTU with
the National Centers of Latin America.
"2. To request the General Secretary of the WFTU to establish a
permanent link with the Bureau of the CTAL for the purpose of enabling
the WFTU to effectively cooperate in the study of the problems of the
working class of Latin America and its claims, in agreement with its
representative organisms.
"3. To request the General Secretary to see about sending delega-
tions to make an enquiry as to the position of the trade union movement
in Latin American countries where the exe1cise of trade union rights
by the workers is contested or checked." 27
It was not until the winter of 1950-1951 that concrete steps were taken to
implement thisdecision. At this time the Executive Bureau, in conjunction
with its regular quarterly session, held a special meeting with the repre-
sentatives of the CTAL Central Committee in Bucharest, Rumania. Rodolfo,
GUZMAN, Costa Rican Communist and assistant to TOLEDANO, subsequently
reported to his chief that several proposals of a "practical" nature had
been adopted,,the most important of which were the following: a.) There
should be a permarrent CTAL representative in the Secretariat of the,WFTU
(a Cuban was immediately elected to this post); b. One
of two functionaries
of the WFTU would be transferred to Mexico to help the CTAL in its task;

c,) The WFTU would give economic aid for the printing and distribution of
the Spanish edition of WTUM (called Movimento Sindical Mondial) in Latin
America, and would amplify the propaganda work of the CTAL,128 At a press
conference in May, 1951, LOMBARDO described the expanded CTAL labor program,
which included a series of regional conferences, an agricultural conference
and a transport workers conference,, as part of the WFTU's world-wide "anti.
Point Four plan" directed primarily toward labor in "colonial and semi-
colonial" countries and designed to further "national" interests in
opposition to the interests of "international monopolies 1.129 During this
same period considerable sums of money began to arrive from Europe for the
CTALO These were used to pay the back salaries of CTAL headquarters employees,
to defray the expenses of certain of the delegates to the CTAL's Agricultural
Conference held in Mexico City, and to reimburse the newspaper El Popular for
its publicity in connection with the aforementioned CTAL conferenceso13O
In order to facilitate its contacts with Latin American national centers,
the CTAL planned to establish four "Regional Committees" as follows:
South Atlantic Region: (Argentina, Brazil, Uruguay, Paraguay)
Juan AMAZONAS
Roberto MORENAS
Enrique RODRIGUEZ
South Pacific Region: (Bolivia, Chile, Ecuador, Colombia, Peru)
Salvador OCAMPO
Pedro J. ABELLA,

the distribution of responsibility within the CTAL shows that there is a
regional breakdown of labor within the organization.
Since the extent of WFTU influence in Latin America will be discussed

the outstanding personalities within the CTRL organization. In May 1953,

2. The Asian Bureau
The WF'F1'U-sponsored Asian Trade Union Congress held in Peiping in
November, 1949, established the "Asian Australasian Trade Union Liaison
Bureau", more commonly known as the "Far Eastern Bureau" or "Peking Bureau"
of the WFTU.1 The Bureau is manned by one representative each from the All-
China Federation of Labor, the All-India Trade Union Council, the All Union
Central Council of Trade Unions of the USSR and the Australian Trade Union
Council. The address of the AATULB is POB I, Peiping, China. Toward the
end of 1950,a secondary liaison office was set up in Japan. Prior to this
time, the WF1'U had maintained contact with the "Zenroren", but this
Communist trade union federation was dissolved by order of the Japanese
Government on 30 August 1950. At a meeting held by the outlawed unions
in September, it was decided that no attempt to reorganize the "Zenroren"
would be made; instead, a WFTU Liaison Bureau and a World Labor Research
Council would be established, the date for the inauguration meeting being
set for October 1950. Since then, mail from the WFTU Secretariat has been
sent to WFTU}Liaison Bureau, c/o Sambetsu Kaikan, 12-7 Shinbashi Minatoku,
Tokio, Japan.133 Although the Japanese office is frequently directly

contacted by the Secretariat, on the basis of intercept analysis, it is
considered subordinate to the Bureau in Peiping on which it is dependent
for most of its funds.134
The WFTU personnel in Peiping are not easily identified. LIU Ning-I,
a Vice-President of the WFTU, is the leading Chinese representative there,
and at present appears to be assisted by Fan I'ENG, YUAN Pao Houa, LI
Hsieh-Po and LIU Chang-Sheng. It has recently been reported that one
PURSHOTTAM, secretary to Pandit SUNDERLAL of the All India Peace Council,
had been appointed to a post at Peiping University. While in Peiping, he
is to be the AITUC and Indian Communist Party representative to the Asian
Liaison Bureau.135 Ernest THORNTON, the Australian representative, arrived
in Peking in the summer of 1950; since then, he has traveled extensively
between Peiping and Vienna, attending Executive Committee meetings,
representing the Asian Bureau at peace congresses, and assisting the
Department of National Centers in its Far Eastern program. The Soviet
.representative on the Asian Bureau staff is reported to be one KUZIIIENKO,
Fnu, who has been identified through intercepts as the "Propaganda Chief"
at the Peiping office.136 The appointment in March 1953 of Vassili
KUZNETSOV, former Chairman of the All Union Central Council of Trade Unions
.and since 1945 a Vice-President of the WFTU, to the post of Soviet
Ambassador to the Chinese People's Republic may have a profound effect on
the work of the Asian Bureau, possibly even obviating the necessity for
frequent contact between it and the Vienna office.
3. The Near and Middle East Bureau.
Proposals for the creation of a Liaison Bureau for the Arab countries
were put forward on a number of occasions, most recently when the Executive
Bureau met in Berlin in December of 1951. The decision of the Middle East
delegates in regard to this subject are not known, although it is obvious
that Iradj ESKANDARY, Special Assistant Secretary for Near and Middle
Eastern Affairs, has since established a network of informants and

correspondents among trade unions t'.x?oughout this area.137
In Israel, Tawfiq TOUBI, leader of the Arab Trade Union Council,
wrote the Secretariat that he had, in conjunction with the Histadruth Trade
Union Federation, approached other Israeli unions on the Subject of forming
a WFTU Liaison Office. Although this move met with little success, TOUI3I
appears determined to set up such an office as soon as possible. In May,
the Histadruth trade unions opened up their ranks to Arab laborers for the
first time; a short time later, the Arab TUC directed its members to disband
so that they might be eligible to join the Histadruth Federation. Evidently,
TOUBI and the WFTU have decided that the best means of acquiring control
over the Israeli unions is to infiltrate them, using the underlying Arab-
Jewish conflict to the Communist's advantage., and eventually making Histadruth
a Communist front.138
4. The African Bureau
In 1951, the WFTU announced that the Berlin meeting of the Executive
Bureau in December had set up a "Trade Union Committee of African Countries",
a working and coordinating body which would "cooperate permanently" with
the Secretariat. In October, 1951, at a meeting held in Bamako, French West
Africa, the TW'FTU and the CGT established two coordination committees, one
for French West Africa and French Togoland, and the other for French Equatorial
Africa and the French Camaroons. The leading WFTU personalities in this
area, Abdoulaye DIALLO, Andre RUIZ, Jacques Nt GOM, Jean Pierre AGI3ASHOU. and
Alioune CISSI/, are believed to be members of these two committees.
In March 1953, British authorities in the Gold Coast have reported
that a Coordination Committee, similar to the ones organized at the Bamako
Conference, has been established for British West Africa. The Committee
appears to include the following persons:
Anthony WOODE, General Secretary of the Ghana Trade Unions Congress,
old Coast.
n 31 August 19 3, the Jerusalem Radio announced that the Histadruth
had d q ded not to send a representative to the Third World Congress of the

SECRET/C.OTMr
Ikenna NZI MORO., Executive Council member of the Nigerian Labor Congress.
Nehru IKORO,s Executive Council member of the Nigerian Labor Congress,
It has not yet been established whether this committee is under the direction
of the Secretariat or the British Communist Party; it is probable that as
it becomes more powerful it will withdraw its allegiance from the BCP and
look directly toward the Secretariat for guidance.0 There is no doubt that
these African committees will become increasingly important in the future,
particularly in view of the emphasis being placed by the Soviets upon the
winning over of colonial and semi-colonial countries.
THE CONSTITUENT TRADE UNION INTERNATIONALS
1. Foundi
Organizational committees set up by the WFTU to prepare constituent
conferences of international trade departments met from 8 to 12 April, 1949,
in Paris. It was apparently decided to hold several of these conferences
prior to and shortly after the Milan Congress. The rapidity with which the
program was implemented was probably dictated by a desire to begin an
organizational drive before the non-Communist labor movement was in a
position to establish effective international controls, The Trade Union

2. Struc turooff TU
A standard structural pattern for the various Trade Union Interna-
tionals was apparently prescribed by the WFTU Secretariat and has been
followed by the TUI's thus far constituted. The principal organs of a
TUI are the Assembly, or Trade Conference, the Administrative Committee, the
Administrative Bureau, and the Secretariat. The function of the Assembly
or Conference, which is convoked every two years, is to serve as a sounding
board for the Administrative Committee elected by it. The Trades Conference
also elects an Auditing Committee of three members, and in agreement with
the Executive
Board of the WFTU, picks the location of the TUI's permanent
Secretariat and draws up the general program of action to be followed by it.
The Administrative Committee, which is responsible to the Executive
Committee of the WFTU, meets twice a year and in extraordinary session when
necessary. It consists of a President, two or three Vice-Presidents, a
.Secretary General and anywhere from six to twelve committee members. The
Administrative Committee directs the activities of the TUI in the interim
between meetings of the Conference. It elects from among its members the
President, Vice-Presidents and Secretary of the TUI, which persons make up
the Administrative Bureau. It draws up a draft agenda and selects the site of
the Trades Conference, prepares the annual budget of the Federation and
submits it to the WFTU Secretariat for preliminary approval; it "may
designate its, own personnel, may establish the pay and fees of the secretaries
and other employees, and, if necessary, those of technicians and specialists
in conformity with the wage scale adopted by the WFTU." The expenditures
of members of, the Administrative Committee are borne by the International
Federation, in conformity with the WFTU regulations. The Administrative
Committee decides on the duties and degree of responsibility of the Secretary

of the TUI, and is entitled to develop a special set of regulations for
this purpose.*
The statutes of the TUI's provide that they "shall receive every
year an amount representing 25% of the fees paid during the preceding year
by the national federations to the WFTU. Union organizations belonging to
the International federations but not to the WFTU must pay to the Federation
for each 1,000 members a "fee equal to the amount paid by the WFTU to the
International Federation, i.e. one pound sterling plus a supplementary fee
where so provided." Any request for supplementary funds must be approved
by the WFTU Executive and then by a two-thirds affirmative vote in a
referendum of all organizations belonging to the TUI. Each TUI is entitled
to be represented at the World Congress and the General Council of the WFTU
by a delegate and an assistant. The delegate will have one vote in case of
voting by raised hand, but he has no voting rights in the case of representa-
tive voting.
3. Functions and Objectives of the TUI's.
Explicit statements setting forth the functions, activities, objec-
tives and methods of the Trade Union Internationals appear in the May 1950
issue of WFTU, the WFTU bimonthly publication. These can be outlined and
summarized in general as followss
1. Each TUI must study and examine in detail the complex problems
of its particular industry in the capitalist countries, the relation of
of the government and the employers to these problems, and the workers'
exact situation; the TUI must coordinate activities of the workers'
struggle to attain their immediate objectives -- improved working and
living standards, social security measures, tee. The TUI's must fight
against speed-up of work processes.
2. The TUI's must organize effective solidarity in the respective
trade for workers on strike. An example cited where effective solidarity
was demonstrated was the support given the strikers at the Michelin rubber
and tire factory in France by the TUI of Chemical Workers.
3. Information bulletins should be published outlining wi Tker=?'
problems and supporting the struggle for "proletarian interntionalism,"
solidarity of workers, the struggle against splitters and strike breakers
in the respective trade unions and the struggle against "war mongers" and
in defense of peace.

4. The Administrative Committees of the TUI's should convene
conferences of workers employed .y the same international trust or
cartel in, order to work out a common program of demands.
-5. The TUI's should assist the unions of Asia, Africa, and Latin
America in the formation of national unions where local unions have
existed.
6. The TUI's must constantly discredit the leaders of non-Communist
unions, described in a WFTU bulletin as "socialist splitters who are dis-
rupting labor unity."
7. The TUI's must develop connections with progressive workers in
capitalist countries where the "reactionary" trade union leaders have
withdrawn from the WFTU for ;'international trade union unity and for
peace." the practice should be made of inviting representatives of
these outside trade unions as guests or observers to meetings, confer-
ences andithe sessions of the executive bodies of the TUI's. "Liaison
committee" should be organized by the TUI's in capitalist countries to
implement the work of splitting the "bourgeois" organizations.
8. The TUI's must fight for the "refense of peace" by energetically
coordinating and popularizing the activities of Permanent Committees for
the Defense of Peace in the workshops.
9. There should be closer coordination between some of the more
importantTUI's -- such as the Metal Workers' TUI, Seamen and Dockers'
TUI and others, with all workers fighting against war preparations. A
proposal to coordinate activities of certain TUI's with those of youth
and stude.t groups in opposing war preparations was made at the May 1950
conferenc
'10. T-e TUI's should examine and publicize "industry bbl industry the
repercuss ons and effects of the Marshall Plan, Clayton Plan.......and
all other, plans for world domination and expose them down to the smallest
detail."
Direct organization support is given the TUI's by the WFTU Secretariat.
The necessity for doing this was pointed out by Henri JOURDAIN at the
Budapest Conference held in 1950, when he asserted, "The main activity of
the WFTU leadership should bear on guiding the Trade Union Internationals." 141
JOURDAIN proposed that the WFTU should delegate "comrades capable of advising
the leadership of the respective TUI's," and that "particular effort should
be made at least for the most important TUI's, those which play a decisive
role in connection with the struggle for Peace and for International Trade
Union unity." Consequently, the Secretariat assists the TUI's in preparing
for their Traq,es Conference, in arranging travel accommodations for their
members, in financing their publications, in facilitating their communication
with other WF''U components and in extending their influence to non-

The Agricultural Union is planning to hold its second International
Conference in October of this year. Its purpose is to discuss a progran of
action for the "struggle which agricultural workers must wage in order to
to liberate themselves from capitalistic exploitation and imperialist
oppression." The Conference will be preceded, in each member country,
by congresses which will nominate delegates and prepare national motions.
One of the purported projects of the Conference is to draw agricultural wor-
kers into contact with industrial workers, with particular attention being
paid to workers from colonial and dependent countries4142

Following the Administrative Committee meeting of this TUI held in
February, 1953, the Chemical and Allied Workers' Unions received the
following appeal from their leaders:
"The Administrative Committee emphasizes tf.e necessity of seeking
a peaceful solution of international conflicts; it endorses the reso-
lutions of the World Congress of the Peoples' of Peace. (Vienna,
December 952) and summons you to fight for their enforcement, as they
guarantee the betterment of your living conditions. The Committee
stresses the importance of the part the workers in the Chemical indus-
tries can, and must play, lest their labour should be employed for the
production of materials for mass-destruction, of chemical and bacterio-
logical weapons." 143

International Trade Secretariats, or else expose them as "fascist agents"; and
to hold a regional conference of Latin American food workers, plans for which
would be examined by the Secretariat. In order to strengthen contacts,
members of the Administrative Committee were to be sent to the following
countries: Maurice SIMONIN would go to Belgium, Luxembourg and Switzerland.
One representative would. go to England, where he would concentrate his
organizational efforts on the bakery workers. One comrade would go to the
Netherlands to examine "the attitude of the leaders of the Trade Union of
Food Workers who are members of the Administrative Committee but who maintain
only weak relations with the International Federation and do not take any
part in its activities." Finally, Ernst SCHILLING was to travel to Nest
Germany in order to establish solid and permanent relations between the
International Federation and the West German workers. In addition., "the TUI

This TUi, though active, is not in frequent contact with the WFTU
Secretariat, and is evidently considered one of the lesser units in the
WFTU. Since it has little relationship to national defense, transportation,
or other vitals industries, it seems unlikely that its development will be
pressed by thel IWJFTU in the near future.

According to a February 1953 review of its own activities, the Metal
and Engineering Workers TUI was planning to hold conferences among the
workers of the European branches of Ford, International Harvester, and
General Motors, This decision was taken at the International Meeting of
Workers of the Automobile Industry, held in Paris in January 1953 under the
direction of this TUI. In addition, it was proposed that the Metal and
Engineering TUI make arrangements for the holding of a uWorld Conference of
Men and Women Workers of the Automobile and Automobile Accessories Industries",
which will probably be held early in 1954. 145

In recent months, this TUI has been concerned with two major projects.
The first, the Inter American Metal and Mine Workers Conference, was held in
Mexico City late in February of 1953. Henri TURRELL, representing the Mineras
TUI, and. Renee MARCEL, member of the Metal and Engineering TUI office, were
sent by the Secretariat to assist the CTAL in its preparations for this
meeting. The Conference had originally been scheduled for early February,
but after the arrival of TURRELL and MARCEL, was postponed for two weeks.
The Secretariatts representatives charged that preparations had been made

mainly at the "top" and not among the mass of workers. Shortly after MARCEL
arrived in Mexico, however, the CTAL cabled the WFTU Secretariat for "the
agreed upon sum" for the conference preparations,
The second major effort of the Miners' TUI was the "Working Meeting
Against the Schuman Plan" held in Berlin, Germany on 15-17 April, 1953.
Fritz LETTER, of the Liaison Bureau of the Mining Industry FTU, IG Bergbau,
Wallstrasse 6 .-65, Berlins advised all prospective delegates to apply to the
Soviet Embassy in tneir country in order to obtain visas. Thirty-two
delegates were present at the meeting, although Holland, England and Italy
were not represented because their delegates could not get visas. The
following persons spoke:
Karl HONISCH - President, Miners' Union, FDGB.
Kurt KUI~N - FDGB .
Willi AGATZ - Ruhr mine leader.
Henri TiJRRELL - Miner's TUI Secretary.
Max FRITZSCH - State Secretary of the GDR.

Victorin DUGUIT, addressing this conference, appealed to the delegates to
"translate the extremely important decisions of the conference into fact
with fightingdetermination with certainty of victory." He said, "The
miners of our
countries must create a front of unity so as to improve and to
defend their ves and to wreck the Schuman Plan."147

unions.
"The trade unions of the capitalist countries are urgently asked to
collect all the material on the subject of the activity of the trade unions
of the "Yellow International" (International Confederation of Free Trade
Unions) and to send it to our Secretariat in Berlin. If there is a

On April 30, of this year, Teresa NOCE complained to both Irene
PIVOVARSKA and Luigi GRASSI that she had not been maintaining suitable
contact with the secretariat of this union. She alleged that the TUI was
not very attentive to communications received even from its own affiliates.
She further complained in her letter to GRASSI that no one in the TUI
secretariat has any information about the situation in the capitalist
countries, and recalled that she had suggested at the Second International
Conference of the TUI held in Berlin in October 1952, that either the
secretariat be moved to Vienna or that a European secretary be appointed

was in accordance with a subsequent announcement from Vienna that, "owing to
the difficult situation of the trade union movement in certain colonial
countries and countries under fascist dictatorships, a sponsoring system
will be set up so that certain organizations able to do so can help those
in difficulties.452It is not improbable that the satellite unions were
requested to act as "sponsors", and provided the funds for the delegates,
travel expenses.
Altogether, there were approximately 150 delegates from forty-two
countries at the Prague Conference.153 One report makes special note of the
relatively large delegations from. the United States and the Near East.
Although the names of these delegates have not been revealed, there is no
doubt that U. S. delegates were present in Prague; reference has. already
been made in this report to the security precautions taken to protect
American representatives from exposure to their own immigration officials.
The election of an Australian, and a Chinese to two of the three posts of Vice-
President of the Transport TUI is a strong indication of the importance of
the Australasian area to the 1,1FTU. Eliot V. ELLIOTT, himself, expressed
surprise that he was accorded a Vice-Presidency, and he ascribed his election
to a new WFTU emphasis on this part of the world. 154
Statements by delegates to the Amalgamation Conference show that it
countered "great difficulties" because of the deaths of STALIN and
GOTTWALD. As of March 23rd certain "essential discussions" involving many
of the conference delegates were being continued in Vienna.155 As has been
indicated previously, one of the outstanding results of this conference
was the decision to establish a "cadre training" school of the WF'YU in Prague.*

The agenda of the International Teachers' Conference, originally
scheduled for-Perlin., but later convoked at Vienna, from 21 - 2L July 1953,
consisted of tie following broad topics: "conditions of the schools and
the struggle of teachers for their economic and social rights as related to
the peace camper n", and "pedagogic principles of democratic education".
All interested, groups., such as children's aid Croups, social workers, etc.,
in addition to teachers were invited to attend. It was also proposed that
a P"Youth Section" of the FISE be formed, under the leadership of Fenrik
SIDENIUS, Tveerbommen 43, Gentoffe, Denmark.*

sent over 42,000 Swiss francs to be deposited with the FISE to help Asian
teachers attend the Congress. 157 Allegedly, the management of the FISE
under Henri WALLON and Paul DELANOUE was the target of widespread criticism.
Although both men are reported likely to retain their present positions,
control of the work of the union will be taken over by Luigi GRASSI, Assis-
tant Secretary General for TUI's at the Vienna Headquarters. "In the opinion
of the WFTU, the FISE carries out an important role in converting the economic

SCOPE OF WFTU INFLUENCE AND CONTACTS
Since most of the WFTU's activities have been discussed in the preceding
sections of this report, the following area exposition of WFTU influence will
be merely supplementary to the date heretofore presented.

On 24 March 1953, CHAO Kuo-chiang, Chariman of the Preparatory Committee,
Chinese Metal Workers Trade Union, Peking, wrote Henri JOURDAIN acknowledging
receipt of a notice of the meeting of the Metal Workers' TUI Administrative
Committee. CHAO wrote that he could not attend the meeting but would send
in his stead "Comrade MASHIODI, Chairman of the Metal Workers' Union of

Shanghai," provided that the Secretariat approve. thecrange in represertatii

LIU Ning-I sent the following telegram from Peking to SAILLANT in Vienna;
"In order to broaden connections with workers of various countries,,
besides increasing number of delegates invited, we wish to invite thirty
delegates from Middle and Near East and Africa to attend All-China
Seventh Labor Congress and Peking May Day celebrations of 1953. As we
know 1i++.1_e about their situation, hope WFTU will invite on our behalf
trade unions of these areas. Leave allocation of invitations to your
discretion. Please inform us details of delegations as soon as possible
by cable.i160
One week later, SAILLANT informed the Arab Trades Union Congress, POB 42,
Nazareth, Israel, that: "All-China Federation of Labor invites two delegates
from workers Israel to join WFTU delegation to May Day celebration and seventh
convention Chinese Trade Uni_onso"161

China were sent by:
LI Chi.-po -- Chairman, Chinese Railway Workers' Union.
LIU Ta-chao -- Chairman, Chinese Seamens' Union.
AN Lih-fu -- Chairman, Chinese Transport Workers' Unfgr, Peiping.
CHIN Chi-fu -- Chairman, Chinese Miners Trade'Union.
On 9 October '1952, WU Hungi, c/o WFTU Vienna, sent a telegram to LITZEMEN
(sic) Peking 1930, China, with the message, "Please inform bank to exchange
163
name of LI Shien for name WU Hungi in order to withdraw money."
b. J pan.
The Japan Liaison Bureau sent the WFTU a letter on the first of
January 1952'in which it summarized its activities for the previous year.
These were mostly in the form of support of various peace movements, protest
meetings against the signing of a separate peace between Japan and the U.S.
and its allies, and protests in "the Matsukawa case."* This "Matsukawa
Appeal" received financial support from both the Asian Bureau in Peking (accor-
ding to LIU Ming-I, "Large sums of money sent from China.") and from the
Secretariat in Vienna, which in December 1951 cabled Peking that it would
send donations from the "international solidarity fund for the families
Matsukawa,"164
In January 1953, the FDGB of East Germany invited ten Japanese trade
unionists tolspend four weeks in the German Democratic Republic; in return,
the Japanese would invite GDR workers to visit their country. The FDGB
invitation cited the "similarity" between the situations in Germany and Japan
and the possibility that a common, and undoubtedly Communist, solution could
be found to their problems. Following the Congress of the People's'For Peace
in Vienna, the WFTU, in an effort to increase its influence in Japan, invited
many of the Japanese delegates to remain in Austria as guests of the Secretariat;'"'
More recently, the Secretariat has sent telegrams of "greetings and solidar-
ity" to the Convention of the Japan General Council of Trade Unions (SOHYO)
held in July, 1953.

In March 1953, S.A. RANGE, leader of the AITUC, received a telegram
at the WFTU Vienna from Fnu HALDULKAR,* Calcutta, India, informing him that
HALDULKAR would arrive in Amsterdam, Holland, on 4 March but would need
assistance in obtaining an Austrian visa. 168 Evidently, HALDULKAR was one
of the Indian delegates to the Social Security Conference. Another such
delegate was Ani DEBI, who stayed at the Hotel Bellevue, Vienna II0 On 9 March,
he wrote a letter to Indira DEBI, c/o Pai Chowdhury, 26A Russa Road,
Calcutta 26, India, telling her that his return was postponed because he
"had the honour of being sent for further conferences on Indian problems to
Prague and Moscow." 169 On 2 March 1953, BUPESH GUPTA, an Indian citizen, reg-
istered at the Hotel Carlton in Vienna and later was listed as delegate
to the Social Security Conference.
In April 1953, DANGE telegraphed from India to Austria the information
that Mrs. Shanta MUKHERJI, Vice President of the AITUC., would be arriving
there, via London, enroute to Bucharest,170 While in Vienna, Mrs. MUKHERJI

describing her journey and forthcoming trip to Rumania. Since Mrs. MUKHERJI
was in Europe "chiefly for the purpose of seeking treatment" of some ailment,
the Secretariat promised to arrange her entry into a Sr>viet nursing home.
Through Mrs. MUKHERJI's letter, the WFTU extended an invitation to JOSHI
to attend the Third World Congress of Trade Unions.171

It is possible that these persons were associated with the transport workers
federations, which were to have their amalgamation conference in March; on
the other hand, they might have been delegates to the Social Security
Conference or Conference in Defense of the Rights of Youth held in Vienna. 173
g. Burma.
The WFTU's leading correspondent in Burma is Thakin LU AYE, head of
the Burma Trade Union Council with offices located at 325-327 Dalhousie
Street, Rangoon. LU AYE represented the WFTU at several conferences in the
Far East, most recently attending the ECAFE meeting in Manila in late 1952.
His travel expenses are always paid by the Secretariat, as are those of other
Burmese delegations to WFTU affairs.174
h. Indonesia.
SOBSI, the Indonesian Trade Union Federation, was reported in 1950 to
have attempted to send a delegation of nine to the WFTU Asian Conference in
Peking. Owing to obstruction from both the Dutch and Republican governments,
the delegates were unable to obtain valid passports in time and SOBSI was
represented in Peking by Ali MURDJONO. The original delegation, however,
ultimately secured its visas and set off for Peking on January 5, 1950, with
the intention of staying there for three months, presumably for training
purposes.175
The offices of the SOBSI Sentralbiro in Djakarta are located at Gang
Ysengah 29; letters and telegrams from the Vienna Secretariat, such as the
one quoted below, are frequently sent here. A telegram from the Sentralbiro
to the Secretariat in Austria, dated 13 February 1953, requested Vienna to
"Send tickets immediately SITUMSINO, Social Security; TUK CUBIJANTO, Seamen
and Dockers: and SUPRIJATNO alias WALDIMAN, Land and Air Transport....."

the conference are: Omar SAID, Journalist; KAUNANG, teacher and member of
the international preparatory committee; Mansalj SURJEINO; plus three young

in 1953). 176 Adhid SUDHARTA, Bachta ROEDUEN, and Fnu ACHADJAT, residents of

i. The Philippines.
The WF'tU extends its influence in the Philippines through the Congress
of Labor Organizations; in 1950, this union was reported to maintain contact
with the Pari; Secretariat of the WFTU and the National Union of Marine Cooks
and Stewards in the U.S., which often sends its representatives to Manila.179
In March 1952, Ernest ARENA, of the Honolulu Branch of the International
Longshoremen and Warehousemen's Union, wrote Elinor KAHN in New York request-
ing assistance for Arvada HERNANDEZ, imprisoned President of the Philippine
Congress of Labor Organizations. ARENA's letter was forwarded to the Vienna
office by KAHN; subsequently, the Secretariat sent copies of the letter to
the Asian Bureau with a request for assistance and more information.lS? Since
the CLO has been outlawed since 4 April 1951, it is presumed that its members
would be operating illegaly in contacting the WFTU or its affiliates.

of Australia, had discussed with the WFTU the restrictions on the transmission
of funds between countries which prevented the Australian unions from paying
their dues to TTJI's to which they were affiliated. HEALY proposed that the
WFTU authorize an account in its name in Australia, into which fees would be
paid and from which funds would be disbursed according to WFTU authorization.
HEALY had also proposed'that WFTU reports and publications be airmailed tog
and,when necessary, reproduced in Australia; In October 1951, however, he
was forced to write SAILLANT and ask the WFTU about possible sources of paper
181
for these'publications as there was a serious newsprint shortage in Australia.
In November 1952, the Australian Trade Unions Council sent a nine-man
delegation, including Jack GRAHAM, A. DOWLING, J. HUTTON, D. JACOB, J.B. CHANDLER,
G.H. FINGLETON, J. O'SHANNESSY, J. KELLAWAY and J. SYDNEY, to the Soviet Union
for a visit. In March 1953, Fnu BRENNEN, Secretary of the Newcastle Seamen's
Union of Australia, telegraphed SAILLANT that, "Cable protesting jailing of
union leaders sent to French Premier. Assure you support unity campaign."
In May, the International Service of the Peking Radio presented a recorded
talk by James M. YOUNG, President of the Sydney Branch of the Waterside
Workers. YOUNG was visiting China as a member of the Australian delegation

2. Africa and the Middle Ea
a. North and West Africa.
In 1951 the WFTU established a preparatory coi ittee for a "Pan African
Trade Union Conference," which received much publicity but never actually
took place.
The following persons from North and West Africa were members:
Abdouliaye DIALLO - General Secretary of the Trade Unions of the
French Sudan.
Andre .UIZ - General Secretary of_the Coordinating Committee of the
Confederated Trade Unions of Algiers.
Jacques N'GOM- General Secretary of the Confederated Trade Unions of
the French Camaroons.

Most o the unions in western Africa belong to the French CGT, but
there is some evidence that they receive little support from it now that
the WFTU has stablished direct contact with African trade union leaders.
Jz-
In February 1952, Domande MORI ABYCAMERA, Regional Secretary, Lakota, Ivory
Coast, of the Trade Union of African Employees in Commerce, Industry, Banks
and Insurance,, wrote the WFTU requesting that they send him publications,
including the, official bulletin of the CGT called The People."
the fact that
Considering
this union is a CGT affiliate, it appears that the French
184
union gives little direction or support to some of its African segments.
The Gotd Coast Maritime Union, located at Tokoradi, reported to the
WFTU at the end of 1952 that it had enrolled 30,000 members and collected
dues amountin to 1,500 pounds during the previous year. The Central Council
of the union planned to form a "popular front" organization and was asking
the WFTU for ,500 pounds either as a loan or, preferably, a gift.185 At
about this sa e time, Djibo BAKARY, Secretary of the Coordination Committee
for French We!t Africa, sent three or four invitations to the Gold Coast
for representation at the WFTU Social Security Conference to be held in

Vienna in March, Charles R, ADDISON of the Ghana Trades Union Congress, and
a member OP the Legislative Assembly of the Gold Coast, is reported to have
replied to BAKARY that the Gold Coast invitees would like to accept the
invitation but could not afford the expense. BAKARY responded that the WFTU
would defray the costs of the trip. Subsequently, ADDISON and three other
companions from the area went to Vienna, French West Africans who attended
the same meeting were Abdoulaye DIALLO and a fellow'CGT official Diallo SEDOU.186
The Algerian delegate to the Social Security meeting was Achmed DJELLAT, who
wired Wirid MORAD, 3 Rue General Ceres, Oran, Algiers, that he would return
to his native country from Vienna on March 31st.187

and Engineering Workers' TUI had offered to help V. J. SYVRET, of
200 Bertah Street, Kenilworth, Johannesburg, in his efforts to organize the
metal and engineering workers in his country. It has also been reported
that in January, 1953, an unidentified correspondent transmitted to the WFTU
a list of twenty-one affiliates of the Transvaal Council of Non-European
Trade Unions, to be added to the Secretariat's already voluminous list of
correspondent s. 189 It is possible that this list was sent by Desmond BUCKLE,
a leader of the Transvaal Council of Non-European Trade Unions and frequent
visitor to WF'U meetings in Europe.
Dulcie'M. HARTWELL, Joint General Secretary, South African Trades ard.
Labour Council, Union Centre Building, 31 Pritchard Street, Johannesburg,

several pieces of correspondence to his assistants in Cairo.
Early in 1953, TAHA was requested by the WFTU to make arrangements for labor
unionists in Egypt to select delegates to be sent to a meeting in Vienna
in April or May. Reportedly, the Egyptian unions suggested for contact
were among the strongest in that country and included those in the petroleum,
waterfront and transport industries.192

g. United Kingdom,
The first indication that the Trade Departments of the WFTU might be
attempting to make secret contact with the British trade unions following
the withdrawal of the T.U.C. came in December, 1949, when Henri JOURDAIN
visited England for three days. His visit was not publicized, but it is
known that he had long discussions with the Industrial Department of the
London District Committee of the British Communist Party and also called at
BCP Headquarters. JOURDAIN was accunmodated at the home of two "comparatively
unimportant" Party members in the engineering industry, this being, possibly
an additional precaution to prevent his visit from attracting attention.
In January 1950, George ALLISON, now deceased, Industrial Organizer rl'the BCP,
led a four-man delegation that visited the Paris Secretariat of the WFTU
to make further plans for TUI contact with British unions. The Seamen and
Dockers' TUI subsequently made contact with Harry WATSON, BCP organizer on
the London docks, and the Metal and Engineering TUI established secret contact
with George CRANE, a former national organizer of the Amalgamated Engineering
Union.202
In 1951, Jacques AMELAINE, French official of the Textile Workers? TUI,
visited England and established two contacts in the clothing Industry, one in
Leeds, and the other in London. In March 1952, AMELAINE arrived in Britain
again, was refused permission to land, was searched and was found to possess
"a number of compromising documents." He had been sent to renew his two
previous contacts as well as to make new ones. During this same period,
there was a noticable drive to increase the circulation of WFTU pamphlets.
Dave GOODMAN, Circulation Manager of WFTU Publications, Ltd., toured the
country for this purpose, distributing many pamphlets free. 203
On the 13th of April, 1953, Peter DRINKWATER notified the Secretariat
that he would be arriving in Vienna from London in the near future; it is
probable that he is in some way connected with the English-language edition
of WTUM. On May 6, John GRINDSON, calling from Stilehallgarden, London,

tried to contact George LEESON in Vienna, but the Secretariat infol?med him
that LEESON had just left for England. GRINDSON identified himself as a
representative of "Progressive Tours," which group was arranging a vacation
tour to Austria and needed LEESON's help in making currency exchanges,
getting accommodations, etc. Since LEESON was unavailable, GRINDSON then
expressed the desire to contact LEESON's wife, Sylvia, and the Secretariat
agreed to convey his message to her.204
On several occasions, the Caribbean Labor Congress, under the auspices
of the West Indies Subcommittee of the British Communist Party , which is
headed by William STRACHAN, has aided the WFTU in its communications with
Communist elements in the British West Indies.

Or.. 12 May 1952, a shipment of El Movimento Sindical Mundial, the
.Spanish edition of WTUM, arrived in Panama from Mexico via Pan American
Airways. The shipper was listed as "Petroleos Mexicanos," Ave, Juarez 94,
Mexico D.F. A portion of the shipment was consigned to Domingo BARRIA,
Secretary General of the Federacion Sindical de Trabajadores de la
Republica de Panama and a member of the Communist Party, The rest of the

signed to Salvatore Martinez MERCADO, Mexican Ambassador to.Bolivia,205
The most recent large CTAL-sponsored meeting was the Inter-American
Conference of Miners and Metal Workers, held in Mexico City from 27 February
to 1 March, 1953? The conference was publically proclaimed to be concerned
with the usual program of improving wages, hours, health benefits and general
work conditions for all Latin American labor,,and miners in particular. A
reliable source, however, reports that the true purposes of the conference
were as follows: to encourage Latin American miners to join the Miners'TUI
of the WFTU; to prevent the export of minerals to the defense industries
of the United States; to point up the benefits of trading in minerals with
the "people's democracies"; to agitate and create anti-American sentiment
among Latin-Americans; to unite the miners behind the WFTU and to use their
unions, reputedly among the most powerful in South America, to support the
206
peace campaign.
At the present time, the CTAL is making arrangements for the convening
of three regional preparatory conferences for the International Conference of
Agricultural and Forestry Workers'to be held in Vienna in October. The
Agricultural and Forestry Workers TUI reported that it might possibly send
a representative to Latin America to assist in this work. In addition', the
CTAL requested $2,900 for the conference preparations,

delegates, lb were observers and 16 were CTAL officials. It was reported
that propaganda for the Congress had been. sufficient only in Brazil, and
particularly insufficient in Argentina, Uruguay, Cuba., Guatemala and Chile.
At the Congress some suggestions for continued action were made, including:
the drawing up of national programs for workers and farmers, the holding
of periodic press conferences, and the intensification of propaganda
efforts. It was announced that the CTAL hopes to establish a publishing
house in Santiago which will serve all South American countries except
Venezuela and Colombia. It was also decided at the Congress that the national
centers would pay dues to the CTAL at the following monthly rates:
$150 -- Mexico, Guatemala, Cuba, Uruguay, Brazil.
$100 I- Venezuela.
$75
- Chile.
$20 -- Ecuador, Colombia, Peru, Paraguay, Panama, Costa Rica,

If these assessments. are paid regularly, the CTAL will receive $1,065 per
month from its affiliates.207

On Ma

Amado ZAPATA, of the Independent Workers Federation of Cali, is a
longstanding WFTU contact in Colombia. In 1952,.he was sent to Berlin for
medical treatment, spending four weeks in a German workers' sanitorium
at the WFTU's expense. Before he left Germany, he wrote Louis SAILLANT
requesting propaganda material to be taken back to his homeland.209 In
April 1953, he wrote the Miners' TUI and indicated that he was encountering
difficulties in attempting to put into effect the resolutions of the CTAL's
Inter-American Metal and Mine Workers Conference. He stated that the union
had recently lost strength and could not, therefore, call its general
meeting, and that some of the comrades "believe they can lead without
discussion with others." According to ZAPATA, the TUI must help in
strengthening the worker's movement since, oddly enough, the workers them-
selves were only interested in their petty personal problems. 210

After the CTAL meeting in Mexico City in September 1952, at which
members were informed that the International Conference on Social
Security was to be utilized in establishing a "'popular front" movement
in non-Communist countries, Lazaro PENA, assisted by Carlos Rafael
RODRIGUEZ, began arranging a Cuban Social Security Conference. The CTAL
reportedly was to pay the cost of this conference and others similar to it.
The funds were to be delivered to Jose MORERA Perez, a Cuban delegate to
the CTAL,211
In March 19539 the WFTU Secretariat notified Ursino ROJAS, Cuban
Communist and labor leader, that he was to represent the WFTU at the

5. The British West Indies, the United States and Canada.
a. TLe West Indies.
Reference has already been made to the relationship between the WFTU,
the West Indies Subcommittee of the British Communist Party, and the
Caribbean Labor Congress, which has its headquarters at Kingston, Jamaica.
The outstanding personality in this Congress is Ferdinand SMITH, a former
United Staters labor union functionary and Assistant Secretary at the Vienna
Headquarters of the WFTU. A brief description of the political career of
Ferdinand Christopher SMITH exemplifies the development of WFTU influence
in this area.
Although born in Jamaica, SMITH was for many years one of the most
influential legroes in American trade unionism, and he possesses a long
record of CoZmunist activity in the United States. He came to the U.S.
around 1919 as a seaman, and during 1936-37 worked closely with Joseph M.
CURRAN in organizing the National Maritime Union. He served successively
as vice-president and secretary of the NMU until l9/+8, when he was arrested
deportation on charges of illegal entry and membership in
a subversive organization. At the time of his arrest, he was a member of
the Harlem Trade Union Council, New York City. In the late summer of 1951,
he went to V.enna, via England, to become Assistant Secretary for American,
Canadian and: 'Caribbean Affairs in the WFTU Secretariat. 25X1 DOe
In April 1952, SMITH returned to Jamaica, accompanied by William
STRACHAN. SMITH and STRAC;EN had been sent to the Caribbean to assess the
strength of the WFTU movement there. Both officials returned to Europe in the
early summer, but in July, SMITH returned to Jamaica to continue his work,

reportedly armed with WFTU funds. Although SMITH has been barred from
entering the'Barbados, Trinidad, British Guiana and the Windward Islands,
authorities there hold him responsible for the stepped-up Communist and
left-wing activities in labor and political circles within the past year
in the Caribbean. As recently as 6 June, 1953, the WFTU remitted 2,000
pounds sterling to SMITH in Kingston,
Public Opinion, a leftist paper published in Jamaica, stated in its
Fevruary 7, 1953, issue that SMITH was about to leave for Vienna to attend
the Social Security Conference. While in Europe, SMITH wrote to the

Regional Conference of the Transportation and'Dock Workers
of Africa and Madagascar; held in Hussein Day, a suburb of
Algiers, 21-23 March, 1952.
D. Publications.
Between August 1950 and January 1952, nine issues of an Information
Bulletin were published by the TUI. The first two issues were typed
and appeared at intervals of three months; the last seven issues were
hectographed and appeared every two months in French, Russian, Erg lish,
German and ~umanian. Total circulation was 10,000 - 12,000 copies.
The TUI, in its report to its members in March, 1953, announced the
publication! of the bulletin was stopped because it was badly planned and
most of the issues failed to appear on schedule.
During the preparation of the Amalgamation Conference of the Seamen's
TUI and the Land and Air Transport TUI, a new issue of the bulletin,
titled Trade Union Organizations was published in two issues. There were
5,000 copies printed in English, 5,000 copies printed in French, and
1,000 copies printed in Russian.
In addition, the TUI published pamphlets (2,000 in each language)
in Swedish and Finnish, a pamphlet, The Founding Conference, in French
(4,000 copies) and Russian (2,000 copies , and an illustrated pamphlet
on the life of transport workers in Madagascar (10,000 copies in
English, 10,000 copi_As in French). The TUI also distributed leaflets
and_bulletitns as part of its program to maintain an international news
-service for its constituent unions.
II. Report on the Activities of the TUI of Seamen, Inland Waterways Workers,

APPENDIX E (cont. )
The Secretariat of the TUI reported that between July, 1949,.
and March, 1953, the union had distributed numerous circulars dealing
with the activities and objectives of the TUI and the successes of its
constituent unions, as well as appeals and reports on significant
international events in the political and trade union field. There
were seventy-six separate appeals, circulars, pamphlets or brochures
issued in various languages. Efforts to issue a regular Information
Bulletin, however, failed completely; in January, 1950, a single
`issue, printed in French and numbering 500 copies, was published.
C. Program
In its report to its presented in March, 1953, the TUI
of Seamen, Inland Waterways Workers, Fishermen and Longshoremen bitterly
attacked the ITF (International Transportation Workers Federation-non-
Communist), which, the TUI charged, was intent on the "destruction" of
international workers' unity. It assailed the growing crisis in the
merchant marine industry, pointing out that the "war policy" of the
capitalist nations was preventing full employment and free trade.
III. Amalgamation of the TUI of Land and Air Transport Workers and the
TUI of Seamen, Inland Waterways Workers, Fishermen and Longshoremen.
Amalgamation Conference: Prague, Czechoslovakia
12-18 March., 1953.
Title of new TUI: TUI of Transport Workers, Dock Workers, and
Fishermen.
Officers:
President: Cesare MASSINI (Italy)
Vice-Presidents: Alphonse DROUARD (France)
Eliot V. ELLIOT (Australia)
LI Chi-po (China) aka: LI Chieh-po
E. T. CHERDNITCHENKO (USSR)
General: Andre FRESSINET France 328
Secretary ( )
The reason behind the decision to merge these TUI's, which are
among the most important of the WFTU's vertical, industry-wide auxili-
aries, is not known. They hav^ announced that such a move had become
necessary to achieve maximum "trade union unity" in the face of
increasing cooperation among th.; employers in the transportation field.
The latter have, according to the Communist TUI's, established a
"transportation pool," which is aimed at "destroying" the trade unions,
"expanding corruption," and furthering the "exploitation" of the
workers. The "pool" is considered a part of the "aggressive designs"
of the "warmongers."
IV. Future Tasks of the TUI of Transport Workers, Dock Workers, and
Fishermen.
A. The Defense of the Economic and Social Interest of the Workers.
In particular, the TUI will tr-r to "keep the transport workers,
longshoremen, and fishery workers always aware of the fact that the

resumption of normal economic relations between all countries would
itg ouldileeads
be and an important
the elimination factor limination for of, the imprunemployment,ovement because of liv
it would lad to
an increase in transport volume in all branches of this industry."
B. The, Defense of National Independence and Liberty.
They TUI asserts that "experience has actualhr shown that no true
trade-u .ion or democratic liberty can exist wherever the system of
colonial exploitation prevails, and that, the fight for these liberties
is indivisible from the fight for national independence...,the TUI
must, therefore, support the fight of the peoples in the colonial and
dependent countries for national independence, for liberating the
transport system from the power of foreign monopolies, and for the
nationalization of foreign transport companies under conditions
favorable, to thepeople."
I
0. The Defense of Peace.
The leadership of the TUI asserts that "the defense of peace is a
task of greatest importance to our TUI." The role of the union in
accomplishing this task was illustrated by the exanple of the longshore-
men of bran, in Algier, and thmi.r fellow transport workers who "agreed
in the Peace Committees on an active and effective. fight against the
loading of war material." The TUI. will carry out "active enlightment
work" among the transport workers, spread the resolutions of the
People's Peace Congress, increase aid for the Korean people, and for
the peoples of Vietnam and Malaya, intensify the fight of the trans-
port workers against the remilitarization of Germany and Japan, and
fight against all plans of making the transport system part of the
"imperialist" war machine.
D. They Fight for Unity.
TheITUI will attempt to attract "all levels of transport workers,
longshoremen and fishery workers" into the union. The conditions of
the fight for unity will vary, depending on the country involved, and
even on''!conditions within one and the same country. "Solutions to
the problem must be made in accordance with local and regional condi-
tions.",
E. TheiSolution of Major Organizational Problems.
1.
3.
Expanding the. in?luence of the TUI.
Strengthening the regional Liaison Committees of the TUI.
Increasing information and propaganda.
In particular, the TUI plans to enlist the support of the various
natiIna
-union_presses, such as that of the CGT of France, which have
a large distrubution. Therefore, the TUI will do all that is
possible to promote the discussion of international labor problems
in the national-union press.
