In the passing over from the trough in the class struggle to a period of sharp battles which take on more and more a revolutionary character as the wave of conflict rises, certain hesitant elements are at first swept along by its momen- tum but after a while begin to show their opportunist nature. We confront in the Hoover conferences, the latest and greatest de- velopment of the campaign of the capitalist class to choke off all strikes and other forms of the class svggle, a complete united front of reac- tion ranging from Wall Street and its government to social reformism. Not only ‘has a fascist atmosphere been created but important organ- izational steps have been taken to complete the union of “government and business.” In the revolutionary industrial unions the first task is the mobiliza- tion of the masses for the struggle against social-fase unions a certain under-estimation of the necessity s noted. Even where there is formal acceptance of this neces is weakness and even failure in preparing such a serious struggle. for this is In connection with the burning necessity for the broadening of the leader- ship of the unions and the drawing in and training of new forces the line of the Red International of Labor Unions seems to have been for- gotten in many instances. As an inevitable consequence of this, there is developing in a num- ber of revolutionary unions, or has already developed to the point where there is a crisis, a feeling of great dissatisfaction among the membership. In preparation for strikes, genuine mass mobilization is mecessary and the strike committees and other organs of struggle have So be made actually representative of the workers involved in the strug- le and its authority established as the decisive leadership. Unless this iheasure—one of the fundamental differences between reformist and revolutionary leadership—is carried out, suspicion and dissension re- place proletarian discipline and the struggle against social-fascism in all its manifestations is greatly weakened. The letter of the Red International of Labor Unions to the Cleve- land convention of the Trade Union Unity Convention last August said: “Especially must the new unions in the U. organization work and strike strategy upon drawing the masses actively into the work and leadership. The conception of the unions as mere ‘organizing cadres,’ groups of leaders, whom the masses must blindly follow, must be disposed of once for all. The new unions must be built on the principle of democratic central- ization. The unions must be mass organizations from which the leadership is built up automatically from below, especially the leadership of strike struggles, which are called by the revolution- ary unions, for which properly functioning strike committees must be prepared organizationally in the most systematic manner, and led by means of developing strike committees elected by the mass of the strikers from their own ranks.” A, base their No excuses can be accepted for failure to prepare for all struggles against social-fascism, and general struggles for higher wages and | better working conditions in this manner. Such strike committees have | authority superior even to that of the executive of the revolutionary unions. Failure to utilise every effort for the building of such com- mittees and their active functioning in the leadership of mass struggles is to discard’a revolutionary weapon and play into the hands of social- fascism. It is only by insisting on close study of new forms and methods of struggle by the leadership and membership of our party, and by actual creation of these new revolutionary weapons in the course of the sharpening struggles, that our Party can give leadership to our class. It is only by drawing new forces into leadership of all struggles by starting and maintaining a constant flow from the revolutionary reser- voir of working class militancy into the unions and all leading commit- tees, that mass resistance to the capitalist offensive can be organized. The Daily Worker, the central organ of the Communist Party of the U. S.

Over a hun- dred more miners signed up :s mem- bers of the N.M.U. at this meeting. Before the meeting began, Kelly, U.M.W. sub-district president, and Boner, another United Mine Work- ers faker, and a few more, stationed themselves in front of the hall and tried to keep the miners out of the meeting. The miners thought that the U.M.W.A. misleaders would try to break up the meeting and im- mediately formed a squad to defend and protect it against attack. All Voted Against Lewis. A vote was taken at the mass meeting. All the miners present voted against getting U.M.W. but- tons on “button day.” It was a unanimous vote against the Lewis leadership. It was a huge vote—in favor of the N.M.U. Henderson spoke for the N.M.U. Zaldokas spoke for it in Lithuanian. P, Frank spoke for the T.U.U.L. Miscavage, a local miner, acted as chairman. A series of mass meet- ings have been arranged thru the Panther Creek Valley for the N. M.U. and T.U.U.L. “Button Day,” so-called, was yes- terday. The U.M.W.A. officials are trying to gouge the miners by fore- ing them to take out and wear U.M. W.A. buttons. The U.M.W.A. is trying to force the miners in the Panther Creek Valley to rejoin the corrupt old union, but they are so thoroughly disgusted with the lead- ership of the Lewis and Heartneady machines that they refuse to pay either dues or assessments to them. HOOVER FARM PARLEY FLOP Make No Plans To Aid Farmer WASHINGTON, Nov. 26.—No plans for the improvement of the worsening farm situation came out of Hoover’s conference with the rep- resentatives of the big farm organ- izations at the White House yes- terday. Hoover refused to consider the question of reduced interest rates for farm credits. This was demand- ed by séme of the farming organiza- tions. There has been no betterment in the past six months in the farming situation, according to reports made to Hoover and Secretary of Agricul- ture, Hyde. Hoover refused to promise aid to road building in the farming dis- tricts to facilitate truck shipments from the farms in competition with the big railroads. Not even the usual optimistic statements were sent out from the White House fol- lowing this phase of the series of economic crisis meetings. | /Bukharin, Rykov | | | and Tomsky Admit They Were Wrong, | | (Wireless By Inprecorr) MOSCOW, Noy. 26.—Buch arin, Rykov and Toms have signed a declaration admitting | their errors and accepting the | | policy of the Communist Party completely, promising to fight} with the party against all de-| viations from the line of the | | Central Committee, particularly | against the Right wing and con- | | ciliatory dangers in the party.
