And’ so many respects. Pugh and Thomas reigned supreme. That is why the Congress refused to discuss the lessons of the General Strike. That is also the rea- son why the Congress gave no cheer, no encouragement and no real help to the striking miners. As to the miners, this is what they received from the Congress according to Cook: “merely sneers from John Bromley who appears to be prepared to do anything for the master class.” Last year’s Congress in Scarborough was almost rev- olutionary as compared with the farce at Bournemouth. It shows that the official leadership of the British trade unions — Thomas, Pugh, Bromley, ete:— had moved so far to the right that they have become open and frank defenders of the employers ,and enemies: of the workers. “But at the same ‘time something else was happen- ing in England. The working masses, the rank and file of the trade unions were mov- ing continually to the left. How was the general strike possible?

'The masses are moving to the left, to a revolutionary struggle against capitalism. The reactionary leaders are Thoving to the right. And the masses will win. —Alex Bittelman. An Etastlo Policy.
