NSK. We have been informed by the leader of the Action Committee for the Protection of German Labor, Dr. Ley, that the following organizations have unconditionally subordinated themselves to the leadership of Adolf Hitler and the directives of the Action Committee for the Protection of German Labor: Central League of Christian Trade Unions \[Gesamtverband der Christlichen Gewerkschaften\]; Trade Union Circle of Associations of German Employees, Workers and Civil Servants \[Gewerkschaftsring deutscher Angestellten, Arbeiter und Beamtenverbaende\] \[Hirsch-Duncker\]; Trade Union League of Employees \[GDA\], the RDA; and other associations. Tomorrow negotiations will begin with the German National clerks' League \[DHV\] as the last association. It is to be hoped that this organization, too, will discern the spirit of the times and integrate itself into the great undertaking.
For the first time in the German labor movement a concentration of all workers' and employees' associations would thus be reached and one of the greatest undertakings recorded in the history of the German working class brought to fruition.
We have been further informed by the leader of the Action Committee for the Protection of German Labor, Dr. Ley, that he intends now, after these associations have unconditionally and without reservation submitted to the NSDAP, to draft the positive and expert forces from these organizations for cooperation. This intention will already find expression at the great Workers' Congress, which will take place in Berlin next week.
