Purpose
The purpose of this brief is to set forth in a summary form available
data about the organization and personnel connected with the various Trade
Union Internationals or Trade Departments of the World Federation of Trade
Unions and the methods and aims of the WFTU program as it will be carried
on by these Trade Departments. These organizations, as is generally known,
have been newly created by the Secretariat of the WFTU as a result of the
failure of the WFTU to incorporate within its fold as Trade Departments,
the sixteen non-Communist International Trade Secretariats already in
existence. The failure has been ascribed to differeces with regard to
financing, the reluctance of the Secretariats to jeopardize their independ-
ence, and their apprehension of the political ideology of the I:\IFTU?
. WFTU Structure
The sovereign authority of the World Federation of Trade Unions is
the 'forld Trade Union Congress which convenes biennially. Provision is
made, however, for the holding of extraordinary congresses. Representation
and voting power at the Congress varies with membership according to an
agreed-upon scale. The Constitution of the WFTU also provides for a
General Council, an Executive Committee and an Executive Bureau. The
General Council is elected by the Congress and each affiliated organization
is represented on it according to its numerical strength. The Council is
the governing body of the Federation in the periods between congresses.
Its functions include those of approving the annual budget and electing the
General Secretary. It meets at least once a year. The Executive Commit-
tee, also elected by the Congress, is the governing body of the Federation
in the periods between meetings of the General Council and meets not less
than twice a year. The Executive Bureau is elected by the Executive
Committee. It is composed of a Chairman ( or President) and seven Vice-
Chairmen ( or Vice-Presidents) and is the governing body of the Federation

between meetings of the Executive Committee. The Executive Bureau appoints
the assistant general secretaries to serve under the direction of the
General Secretary in the permanent Secretariat.*
The Secretariat is presently composed of the following elements:
1. General Secretary: Louis SAILLANT,
2. Assistant General Secretary: Sergie ROSTOVSM mho heads the
Department of Relations with the National Centers, Press and
Information.
3. Assistant GeneralSecretary: Boleslaw GRT, who directs the
Department of Trade Departments (T.U.T. s).
4. Assistant General Secretary: This office is being left vacant.
An incumbent would manage the Economic and Social Department.
According to a NFTU bulletin, the office of the director of the Economic
and Social Department is being reserved for a representative of the British
and American workers whenthuy again become affiliated to the WFTU. In
addition to the three departments listed above, there are Departments in
the Secretariat for Accountants, Translations and Shortli nd and typing.
With a representative of the Soviet trade unions in the key position
of director of the Department of Relations with the National Centres,
Press and Information, it is obvious haw strong a control the U.S.S.R. has
in the Secretariat of the WFTU.
C. WFTU Liaison Bureaus
1. Liaison Bureau for Asia
Liaison Bureaus are being organized by the WFTU to unify and extend its
command over labor forces through the world. At the Asian Trade Union
Conference in Pei-Pling which was held in November 1949, a WETU Liasion
Bureau for Asia was founded.
During the conference, measures in various
* The officers of the General Council, Executive Committee and ExeCutive
Bureau, as elected by the Second Torld Congress of the WFTU at Milan in
19491 are listed in Appendix D.

Sanitized - Appltaded For Release : CIA-RDP78-4015R000200070001-1
forms were drawn up for the purpose of:
a. urging workers of Asian countries to take up arms for national
liberation;
b, requesting workers of the capitalist nations -- United States,
Britain, France, and the Netherlands to demand the recall of
their countries' troops from, and otherwise oppose military
intervention in, Korea, Malaya, Indochina and Indonesia;
c. asking the Trade Unions of France, Turkey, Salvador, India,
Australia and the Philippines to demand the withdrawal of their
representation from the U.N. Commission on Korea;
d. protesting the action of SCAT preventing Japanese delegates from
from attending the Poi-P'ing conference.
The Liaison Bureau for Asia is to consist of four members with one
each representing the All-China Federation of Labor, the Ail-Indian Trade
Union Congress, the Soviet Trade Unions and the Australian Trade Unions,
The Bureau members are, respectively:
UNIDENTIFIED (China)
VAIDYA, D. S.(India)
UNIDENTIFIED (U.S.S.R.)
THORNTOIT, Ernr.t (:Aittralia)
The headquarters of the Bureau will be in China, and the Chinese trade
representative will serve as chairman.
The functions of the Liaison Bureau for Asia were described at the
Pei-P'ing conference by Soviet delegate L.N. SOLOVYOV (or SOLOVEV) and can
be summarized as follows:
1) to assist trade unions of the area in explaining and carrying out
the decisions of the WFTU Executive. To circulate widely infor-
mation on all WFTU activity and aims;
2) to collect information for the WFTU on trade union activity in
the Asian countries;
3) to extend WFTU membership by establishing contacts in non-affiliated
unions and to fight divicionist activity;

t'anitized - Applsoied For Release : CIA-RDP78-44015R000200070001-1
4) Representatives of the Bureau are to take part in meetings of the
national trade union centrals and of the trade unions and feder-
ations;
The Liaison Bureau will submit to the Executive Bureau of the
WFTU every three months, a complete report on its activity.
6) The Liaison Bureau, as a working body of the WFTU, is not to act
as a block between the WFTU and the national trade union centers.
The latter have the right and duty to maintain direct relations
with the IUTU Executive.
2, Liaison Bureau
for Latin America
According to a WPTU publication, the CTAL (Confederation of Workers of
Latin America) has been designated by the 7FTU Executive to serve as UFTU
Liaison Bureau for Latin America. One of the resolutions made by the WFTU
Executive Committee during the May 1950 Conference at Budapest reads:
"The Executive Committee proposes to the secretariat of the WFTU
that it support the work done by the T.U.T.Is in the colonial and
dependent countries; that in its work of organization it avail itself
of the Asiatic and Latin-American Liaison Bureaus of the WFTU;".
While the task of organizing labor groups into effective components of
the WFTU, is an important function or the CTAL; a second function, the
collection of information for the WFTU, appears to be equally as essen-
tial. The CTAL conference which took place at Montevideo, Uruguay,
27-31 March, 1950, was designated a "Conference of Information" by the
WFTU Secretariat. According to one report, the delegations of the par-
ticipating countries wore directed to bring information prepared within
their own countries, based on the following guide:
"Production; industrial development; agricultural problems;
wages (statistics for the last five years); prices (food, housing,
transportation, clothing, entertainment, etc.); degree of imper-
ialist penetration -- in industry, commerce, agriculture, economy
of the state, the administrative machinery, and in the defense of
the country, treaties signed, most current forms of penetration;

monetary situation; State Budget -- how is it distributed among
the various ministries; program of claims -- in the economic,
political and social fields; experiences of strikers struggles;
defense of the national economy -- in which case was there a
united action of the proletariat, of other economic sectors,
what were the results; trade union organisational experiences;
trade union unity (committee of community action, fight in common
with various trade unions; what influence does tle. CTAL and '!FTU
have and what is their duty?"
The highly diversified information targets sought by the 'ZTU -- some of
which are quite unrelated to trede union activity and interest, (such as
information concerning the State budget, treaties with the 'imperialists")
are clearly indicated in this outline.
Liaison Bureau for Africa
At the Budapest Conference of Trade Union Internaaonals, May 1950,
a proposal was made that the IFTU organize rapidly and carefully an
African Trade Union Conference for the early establishment of a Bureau
of Information, Liaison, and Coordination for Africa. M.CARROUE, Vice-
President of the Agricultural and Forestry Workers' T.U.I. stated that
such action is very necessary in view of the "increased imperialist pene-
tration through investments in application of TRUYAN's Point 4, while
Africa is being transformed into a base of aggression for the imperialist
war plans."
D. Foundin of the Trade Union Internationals
Organizational committees set up by the UPTU to prepare constituent
conferences of international trade departments, met from 8 to 13 April
1949 in Paris. It was apparently decided to hold several of these con-
ferences prior to and shortly after the 71FTU Congress which took place
in Milan, Italy, from 29 June to 10 July 1949. The rapidity with which
the program has been implemented is probably dictated by a desire to begin
an effectual organizational drive before the non-Communist labor movement

is in a position to establish effective international controls. Twelve of
the Trade Union Internationals have been founded and in May 1950 sent
representatives to a Consulatative Conference at Budapest where their
activities and tasks were reviewed.
The Trade Union Internationals which have been founded to date are
the following:
Trade Union International of Seamen and Dockers, Fishermen, Inland
Waterways and Port Workers
Trade Union International of Land and Air Transport Workers
Trade Union International of Miners
Trade Union International of Metal and Engineering Industries
Trade Union International of Chemical Industries Workers
Trade Union International of Teachers
Trade Union International of Postal, Telegraph, Telephone and
Radio Workers
Trade Union International of Building and Wood Workers -
Trade Union International of Workers of the Food, Drink, Tobacco, Hotel,
Cafe and Restaurant Industries
Trade Union International of Agricultural and Forestry Workers
Trade Union International of Textile and Clothing Workers
Trade Union International of Leather, Shoe, Fur and Leather Goods
Workers
Detailed information on the trade union internationals listed above appears
in the sections which follow; four additional trade union internationals
have been planned, hut have not as yet been constituted:
Trade Union International of Oil Workers
Trade Union International of State, Municipalities, Commerce and
Office Workers
Trade Union international of Press, Typographical and Lithographical
Workers, Engravers and Binders
Trade Union International of Fine Arts, Theater and Cinema Workers,
Painters, Musicians and Other Liberal Professions.
A pattern of organization for the administration of the various Trade
Union Internationals was apparently prescribed by the WFTU Secretariat
and has been followed by the Trade Union Internationals thus far consti-
tutud. The Trades Conference of the individual Trade Union International
is its chief authority. It is to be convoked every two years. The
functions of the Seamen and Dockers Trades Conforence are outlined in
Article V of the Statutes of that T.U.I. (see Appendix A). The Trades
Conference elects the Administrative and Auditing Committees, pro-rating

the number of members among the affiliated organizations. The Adminis-
trative Committee directs the activities of the Trade Union International
between sessions of the Trades Conference. The responsibilities of an
Administrative Committee are described in Article IX of Appendix A. The
Administrative Committees consist of a President, two or three Vice-Presi-
dents, a Secretary General and anywhere from six to twelve committee
members. The officers of these committees (President, Vice-Presidents,
and Secretary General) form the Administrative Bureau. Tho Auditing
Committees examine and certify the accounts and submit their reports to
the Administrative Committee and to the Trades Conference.
The headquarters of the individual T.U.I. appears to be permanently
staffed by the Secretary General and a few assistants. The Secretary in
nearly every case is a citizen of the country where the headquarters of
the T.U.I. is located. The members of the Administrative Bureaus and the
Committees appear to convene only periodically. At the nudapest conference
in May 1950, more "collective work between members of the Administrative
Committees" was advocated.
F Functions and Ob'ectives of the Trade Union Internationals
Explicit statements setting forth the functions, activities, objectives
and methods of the Trade Union Internationals appear in the May 1950 issue
of the WFTU bulletin, World Trade Union Movement. These can be outlined
_ Oworro0/01..
and summarized in general as follows:
1) Each TUI must study and examine in detail the complex problems
of its particular industry in the capitalist countries, the
relation of the government and the employers to these problems,
and the workers' exact situation; the T.U.I. must coordinate
activities of the workers struggle to attain their immediate
objectives -- improved working and living standards, social
security measures, etc. The T.U.I.'s must fight against speed-
up of work processes.

, -*Sanitized - Aplielved For Release : CIA-RDP784915R000200070001-1
The T.U.I.'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 to the strikers
at the Michelin rubber and tire factory in France by the T.U.T.
of Chemical Workers,
3) Information bulletins should be published outlining workers'
problems and supporting the struggle fo-r. "proletarian inter-
nationalism" solidarity of workers, the struggle against
splitters and strike breakers in the respective trade unions
and the struggle against ftwar mongers" and in defense of peace.
The Administrative Committees of the T.U.I.'s should convene
conferences of workers employed by the same international trust
or cartel in order to work out a common program of demands.
5) The T.U.I.'s should assist the unions of Asia, Africa, and Latin
America in the formation of national unions -where only local
unions have existed.
6) The T.U.I.'s must constantly discredit the leaders of non-Communist
unions, described in a WFTU bulletin as "socialist splitters who
are disrupting labor unity".
The T.U.I.'s must develop connections with progressive workers in
? capitalist countries where the "reactionary" trade union leaders
have withdrawn from the 'JFTU and must make known to these workers
the program of the WFTU for "international trade union unity
and for peace". The practice should be made of inviting repre-
sentatives of those outside trade unions as guests or observers
to meetings, conferences and the sessions of the executive
bodies of the T.U.I.'s. "Liaison committees" should be organ-
ized by the T.U.I.'s in capitalist countries to implement the
work of splitting the "'bourgeois
" organizations.

!Sanitized - Aphipsved For Release : CIA-RDP764915R000200070001-1
The T.U.I.'s must fight for the defense of peace by energetically
coordinating and popularizing the activities of Permanent Commit-
tees for the Defense of Peace in the workshops.
9) There should be closer coordination between some of the morc
important T.U.I.'s -- such as the Metol Workers' T.U.I., Seamen
and Dockers' T.U.I., and certain others, with all other workers
fighting against war preparations. f. proposal to coordinate
activities of certain T.U.I.'s with those of youth and student
groups in opposing war preparations was made at the May 1950
conference.
10) The T.U.I.'s should examine and publicize "industry by industry
the repercussions and effects of the Marshall Plan, Clayton Plan ...
and all other plans for world domination and expose them
down to the smallest detail".
G WFTU Direction of Trade Union Internationals
Close coordination of T.U.T. activity by the WFTU had been provided
at the Second World Congress in Milan in 1949. The Congress had author-
ized the Executive Committee, at its first meeting in 1950, to complete the
election of two more Executive Committee members and three substitutes from
candidates nominated by the T.U.I.'s which would then be in existence. One
T.U.I. representative, Ernest THORNTON, of the Metal Workers' T.U.I., had
been elected to the Executive Committee of the WFTU at the Milan Congress.
At the Budapest Conference therefore, the following candidates wore nomi-
nated and, in the usual manner, wore -"endorsed unanimously":
Members: ELLIOTT, 7.V., of the Seamen's and Dockers' T.U.I.
LI Chieh-po, of the Land and Air Transport Workers' T.U.I.
Substitutes: Rm., Ilio, of the Agricultural and forestry Workers' T.U.I.
Two more substitutes, representing the Textile and Clothing Workers' T.U.I.
and the Miners' T.U.I. aro to be designated by their respective organizations.
Criticism of Boleslaw GEBERT's work in directing the Department of Trade
Departments was voiced by several T.U.I. officers at the Budapest Conference.

Henri JOURDAIN4 Secretary of the Metal and Engineering Tk)rkerst
stated that the help and guidance given by the WFTU Secretariat
T.U.I.'s was "quite inadequate" and that the general directives
T.U.I.,
to the
issued
to the T.U.I.ts by the SeCretariat were both belated and insufficient.
F. MAURICE, President of the Leather, Shoe and Pur Workers/ T.U.I.,
and T.BEREZINI Vice-President of the Metal and Engineering T.U.I. were
also openly critical of GEBERT. BEREZIN specifically requested that
the WFTU Executive direct

his staff to enable it to

the "practical day to day work" of the T.U.I.Is.
GEBERT's
service may load to a strengthening of
give more effective direction to T.U.I. activity,
the replacement of GEBERT as
director of the
Department of Trade Departments.
H. Comarieen of WFTU and Profintern Structures
The charts in Appendix C showing the organizations of the defunct,
Profintern (Red International of Labor Unions) and the IIFTU indicate
certain factors common to both bodies. The Profinternts use of auxiliary
organizations such as the International of Seamen and Harbor Workers and
the Pan-Pacific Trade Union Secretariat to attain world-wide control of
labor organizations is comparable to the UFTUts present and contemplated
use of Liaisen Bureaus and certain key Trade Union Federations to realize
such scope. The functions of the Red or Revolutionary Trade Union Opposi-
tions of the Profintern wore generally to organize and promote Communist
propaganda among workers, to initiate and supervise Communist splinter
groups, to penetrate "reformist" trade unions, etc. At the May 1950
Cona;Itztive Conference of Trade Departmente of the WFTU in Budapest,
although the primary importance of attaining the immediate needs of the
workers was stressed, it was pointed out that the Trade Departments shOuld
"link" these immediate aims to the broader objectives of the WFTU -- "the
defense of trade union rights, democratic liberties and peace". The _,rade
Departments, as has been stated above, have been directed to set up "Peace
Committees" in every factory -- groups which in the Western countries would

obviously be an indirect support for any Soviet or Communist move, and
whose propaganda, although in a more subtle presentation, parallels the
propaganda activities or the Trade Union Oppositions of the Profintern.
The Department of Relations with the National Centres, Press and Infor-
mation in the Secretariat of the WF1U is divided into five geographic
bureaus, reminiscent, of the regional secretariats of the Profintern.
Clandestine As cots of tho WPTU Program
In effecting th:, establishment and development of contacts with
workers in countries where the trade union centers are not affiliated
to the WFTU, activity toward which the T.U.I.'s wore directed to pay
"particular attention", it is realized that many of these contacts will
be of an unofficial and more or less covert nature. To date, only a few
of such contacts have come to attantion. The Industrial Organizer of
the British Communist Party, George ALLISON, is known to have had talks
in Paris with WFTU officials for the purpose of assisting the WFTU to
acquire a footing in Great nribain. It was agreed that certain Party
mombers in the various industries would act as contacts with the related
T.U.I. I? Such contacts have reportedly been sot up in Britain for the
Seamen and Dockers' T.U.I. and for the Metal and Enj_neering T.U.I.,
while others have already been considered. In April 1950, Alphonse tROUARD,
President of the Land and Air Transport Workers' T.U.I., tried to visit
Britain, but was refused permission to enter the country. Recently one
NAHON, a courier of the Seamen and Dockers T.U.I. went from Dcl'r to
Latin America and was arrested in Uruguay. The numerous addresses found
in his possession show how extensive his mission was.
In view of the emphasis placed upon the importance of developing
contacts with workers in capitalist countries, it is most likely that
more and more of these contacts will be made clandestinely in order to
spread WFTU and Communist propaganda among workers in western countries.
It may also be assumed that the T.U.I.'s will have a share in the co-ordin-
ation of industrial sabotage during the current crisis, particularly in
11

le=
connection with the "Peace Campaign". Definite evidence to this effect,
however, is, lacking.
Im ortanco of Colonial Areas to WFTU Pro ram
Considerable emphasis was put by several of the speakers at the
Budapest Conference of May 1950 on increased T.U.I. work in colonial and
semi-colonial areas. M. CARROUE, Vice-President of the Agricultural and
Forestry Workers' T.U.I. proposed that the T.U.I. Conference ask the
"i;FTU to:
1. "organize rapidly and carefully the African Trde Union
Conference which should include observers from all interested
T.U.I.'s;
2. establish a "Bureau of Information, Liaison and Coordination
for Africa."
The African delegate, Abdoulayu DIALLO, Vice-President of the UFTU
and member of the Postal Workers' T.U.I. urged that efforts be made
to organize into the appropriate T.U.I. port workers along the western
coast of Africa in the Camoroons, Nigeria and other countries, and
railwaymen, miners, and postal workers.
The "Asian Liaison Bureau" at Pei-P'ing would continue to centralize
the WFTU-T.U.I. work in that part of the world. Ernest THORNTON, Vice-
President of the Metal eTkers' T.U.I., emphasized that the work in Asia
should be in concrete, specific support of the insurrectionary movements
in Indo China, Malaya, the Philippines "and others". "Mon addressing
the Asiatic workers therefore the T.U.I.'s could not limit their action
to abstract appeals against war generally," advised THORNTON.
K. Increasin, Significance of T.U.I.'s
Direct organizational support will undoubtedly be given the T.U.I.'s
by the WFTU. The necessity for doing this was pointed out at Budapest
by Henri JOURDAIN, Secretary of the Metal and Engineering 'Terkers T.U.I.:
"The main activity of the WFTU leadership should boar on guiding
the Trade Union Internationals."

Ho proposed that the TFTU should:
"delegate some comrades capable of advising the leadership of
the respective T.U.I.'s particular effort should be
made at least for the most important T.U.I. those which
play a decisive role in connection with the struggle for
Peace and for International Trade Union unity."
DI VITTORIO, in his closing speech, endorsed JOURD=s proposal.
Inasmuch as it could boassumed tha.:b the national affiliates of the WFTU
(such as the CGT, CIL, etc.) were fairly self-sufficient in "resources
and the necessary personnel to fulfill their own .tasks,?;it would there-
fore be correct for the Executive Committee of the WFTU to give more
assistance, attention, material moral and financial aid and help in
leadership to the Trade Union Internationals."
The decisions of the WFTU leadership in this matter are not ,-ut known? -
but it appears probable that professional UFTU organizers and propagandists
will be assigned to work directly on the T.U.I.'s and that WFTU funds will
be put al:2211z to the used of those considered most important

APPENDIX A, reproducing the statutes of the Seamen and Dockers T.U.I.,
indicates that the following measures are contemplated for the part to
be played by the T.U.I. in the implementation of major Communist policies:
1) strikes, demonstrations, and the distribution of propaganda
in the ports and aboard chips in support of the anti-AP
campaign, the "peace offensive" and of strikes, etc., engaged
in by other Communist groups;
