It was a case of self-preservation, he said. What can. be expected from men who have such a selfish conception of the functions of leadership in the trade union movement? Twenty-three delegates to the federation voted against accepting the ukase of scabby William Green. This is encouraging. It is| the one bright spot in an otherwise odious proceeding. Every mili- tant union member in the country, every class conscious worker | rejoiced when ‘the Chicago Federation of Labor laid the lash of its condemnation on the official backs of the strikebreaking crew that} runs the company union, known as the United Garment Workers. Their rejoicing was destined to be short lived. Those who voted against hauling down the flag to Tom Rickert! and his crew at last Sunday’s meeting were Communists, radicals | and progressives. All the old reactionary outfit voted to support | Fitzpatrick and Nockels. There were delegates from the pressmen’s union present at last Sunday’s meeting. The pressmen are faced with a situation somewhat similar to that with which the garment workers are confronted. The pressmen and feeders in the Cuneo) printing plant withdrew their labor when asked to work under open shop conditions. Their international president is sending in scabs to defeat their purpose. If the pressmen and feeders were building on Fitzpatrick stick-| ing up for them against Berry, they were leaning on a broken reed. Fitzpatrick has‘definitely broken with the progressive wing. His condemnation of the United Garment Workers was merely a last flicker from the waning fires of his former progressivism. When Green cracked the whip Fitzpatrick and Nockels thought. of the porterhouse steak and their nice easy chairs at 166 West Washington street. They took the hint and resolved that they would be good boys in the future. i This is one of the most contemptible cases of quitting under fire that the American labor movement records. Fitzpatrick and Nockeis cannot for long fool the organized workers of Chicago with their periodical tirades against the Communists. The former fake pro- gressives are every day exposing themselves as the most sub- servient tools of the reactionary bureaucracy of the A. F. of L. With Tom Rickert scabbing on the garment workers and George L. Berry scabbing on the members of his own union, both under the banner of the American Federation of Labor, the workers are confronted with a serious situation. No time must be lost in proceeding to alter this state of things. The Lesson of the Aetna Strike The unorganized millions of American wage workers are unor- | ganized, not because they are unwilling to belong to labor unions but because the reactionary leadership of the labor unions of America is indifferent and even hostile to bringing them into the ranks of | organized labor. More and more it will be seen that the example of the striking | upholsterers of the Aetna Furniture company of Chicago is an} illustration of what will be necessary if the workers wish to unite their forces in spite of the indifference of the reactionary leaders} of the craft unions. The formation of the shop committee of the Aetna workers, which must represent all departments of the shop, and their success- ful strike against a double wage cut, is illustrative of the method and result of coalescing the unorganized workers in their first effort at building a shop committee system which will eventually compel the hostile leaders of unions to accept the at present unorganized masses upon a basis of industrial unionism and will, as well, insure the workers in such shops as have strong shop committees an iron protection of complete solidarity against the bosses. The workers of the Aetna shop have publicly acknowledged that the DAILY WORKER was their one aid in addition to their own solidarity in winning their strike. It was only a little strike, with demands readily seen as justified and purely economic. But its sig- nificance may be great if, from the experience and example of the Aetna strikers, the unorganized masses of America will learn the Jesson that one of the keys to organized power is the formation of shop committees to, bring into action’on equal basis the unionized and non-union, of all crafts and all degrees of skill, without regard to race or sex or skill. We trust that the Aetna workers will not stop short of such organization and try to spread it to all shops in their industry. Such shop committees must be formed as rdpidly as possible in every factory and shop of this country. An American professor who is a member of the slavery commit- tee of the league of nations got in bad with his government for throw- ing some light on slavery conditions in Portugnese East Africa. The Portuguese capitalists protested and Washington advised Lisbon that the professor was only speaking for himself, Germany demands the return of her colonies as.a condition to entrance into the leagne of nations. Germany claims to be just as “civilized” as any other nation and is willing to carry her share | cost of clothing or of beefsteaks or of of the “white man’s burden.” But Abd-el-Krim is not adding to the] rents. No matter what the cost, he gets his clothing, his popularity of that once favored outdoor sport. 15 Phone Monroe 4712 |‘, 3.50 six months | near Comrades:— ‘since we broke away from the social- Workers Party as For overtwo years and a half we have Workers now, on the eve of the party conven- tion.

We have all learned to know that even at the present time, notwithstanding numerical weak- ness,.our party must be a party of political struggles, a. party living and fighting in close connection with the working class its everyday life and battles. We have been forced to con- cede that the party must not con- fine itself to propaganda, that the road to a mass party leads through manifold class activities at the head of the working-class. We have learned that maneouvering is a nessusary ele- ment of Communist tactics and that propaganda pure and simple would turn our party into a sect. a. Mechanical control is no more an issue. There is no such thing in our party. We are all under the con- trol of the party institutions? Every one of us both controls and is being controlled. It would seem that under such con- ditions we should have long forgot- ten the old federation with all our former just and unjust claims, We discrimination it Would not be a Com- munist Party. > Tales: of conspiraty are being ped- died among you, The bugaboo of a sinister” “caucus” has been brought into play in order to stir your imagination. (“Bittelman’s cau- cus”, “Costrell’s caucus”, the “Olgin- Yuditch caucus”). It is the task of the “caucus”, you are being told, to conspire against the members of the ftérmer socialist federation. This is all woven out of whole cloth. The name caucus is here being applied to those comrades. who put their party allegiance and: the party disciplines above their mebersrip in the former socialist federation, The vicious “caucus” is nothing else but the Par- ty, the Central, Executive Committee of the Party and all those who carry out the policiesof the Party. If only your dissatisfied elements tried to put themselves into close contact with the party -as.a whole, if they tried to forget their past and their group allegiance, they would soon realize that there is no conspiracy and that nobody is interested in wag- ing a fight against them. The very fact that these comrades see con- spiracies, persecution and discrimina- tion everywhere, proves their aleinat- ing themselves from the Party, their looking upon it with suspicion. First they put themselves into a seperate camp and then they complain that they are being treated,as an unassi- milated and unfriendly group. First they develop an attitude of suspicion towards the party representatives, and then they are dissatisfied when they complain that they are being treated as an unassimilated and unfriedly group. Figst they develop an attitude of suspicion towards the party repre- sentatives, and then they are dissatis- filed when they are not being treated ty. c.

We have learned many lessons in the course of our work, and we are in a position to view our former concep- tions: with a critical eye. We must admit that a large portion of our con- ceptions were un-communistic, half- communistic, in the nature of the two- and-a:half international. We must ad- init that we committed many an er- ror in consequence of our failing to understtand Communist tactics. Shas We were happy when three “under- sround” Communists broke the disei- pline of their party and voted with us in the exceutive committ of the Jewish Federation (“No. 2”) of the W. Py We did not understand that a Communist who deliberately ignores the orders of his party concering his work in an outside organization which does not belong to the Comintern (the W. P. and its Jewish federative | of that time were, in law ami in taci, | only sympathizing organizations whets | Communists were supposed to coudyet party work) is, obviously, of scast value as a Communist and his “con- version” should cause very httle re Joicing. Subsequent events proved this ele- mentary truth. One of the three was expelled from the party with our con- sent. The other two occupy the ¢x-| treme right flank of the right wing opposition.

You must realize, comrades of the rank'and file of the former socialist federation, that you are being utilized for a fight against the Party.

Their weight, whatever of it they pos- sess, is derived from the fact that you live by tradition, that you do not think who are the leaders you support. You must now realize that you are an instrument of an opport- unist opposition in our party, that your. blind devotion to your former socialist federation is detrimental to friends.from among the leaders of the the Party and to Communism. ‘You! are being utilized as an army of ‘défense’ for every opportunist de- viation that.develops within the com- munist ranks.

This is because the latter are in a position to “deliver” them a mass of rank and filers, and this mass are you, com- rades of the former socialist federa- tion. Do you like this role, comrades? A curious combination is being achieved over your heads: a match between the federation leaders and those communists whose communism became of a doubtful nature. The federation leaders as such would not be able to assert themselves within the party because they lack even com- munist phraseology and have not had a minimum of experience in commun- ist practice. On the other hand, the doubtful communists would have no guts. to. make themselves vociferous in the Party, if it were not for the “mass” that they command with the aid of the federation Teaders, As it is, one group of party opponents helps the other: one furnishes the opport- unist theory”, while the other deliv- ers the votes, your votes.
