Trades Unions and The Socialist Party !.
tBy Robert Hunterl

I Unions and the Socialist aPrties
be completely separate and preserve
fully their autonomy. A minority of
the French Party introduced an OPP
posing resolution which declared that
the Unions and the Party should join
together nationally and information
| ally.
DeLeon, in the name Of the Indus
trial Workers Of the World and of
the Socialist Labor Party. moved a
resolution declaring that the Indus
trial Union is the germ Of the Re
public Of Labor. The resolution CON
demned the Craft Unions of the Amer
lean Federation d Labor, which
took their orders from the great
capitalists" The resolution also de-
clared that any really revolutionary
Socialist Movement should include
both Trade Unions and political par
ties. -
scmidt supported the Austrian res.
olution. saying that while the Unions
and the Party IN Germany were dis
tinct, Yet they did not oppose each
other. He declared that the closest
possible union should exist between
these two organizations, but that the
Party should not attempt to dictate
| to the Unions their policies.
Olsen, OF Denmark. said that one Of
the characteristics OF the Danish
system is that the Executive Commit
tee of the Party sends two represent
atives to the governing body Of the
Unions, and two delegates Of the I'm
ion sit in the governing body of the
Party. By virtue Of this arrange
arrangement cooperation between the
Part yand the Unions is complete.
He was not sure that the same sys-
tenn Woul work well elsewhere, but In
Denmark It makes impossible any
misunderstanding.
Premoli, Of Italy, declared that in.
Italy they had attempted to unite the
Unions and the Party. but they had
found it wiser to follow the German
plan Of having distinct organizations.
The Trade Unions should remain open
to all, without distinction Of Party.
Legien, Of Germany, declared that
the two movements, the Party and
the Unions, arose from the working
class. why. then, should they not
help each other? Both pursue certain
ends, and consequently they must
possess autonomy. We cannot admit
that the Unions and the Party should
fight each other. II this situation
exists in France It is because neither
the Party nor the Unions there are
wen organized. The French comrades
are accustomed to say: We have no
organization. but we have the temper
ament. It Is not with temperament
that on fights the Capitalist class. As
soon as the French have real
Trade Union organization they Will

VI. The international Socialist
Platform.

%
At the International Socialist Con-
gress held at Stuttgart in 1907 the
relation between Socialist Parties
and Trade Unions came up for dis
cussion.
At the outset will ask Americans
to bear in mind that most of the men
who discussed this question were
actual trade unionists. Some Of them
were among the highest officials OF
the Trade Union movement In Eu-
rope. / mention this fact only be-
cause the two Americans who took
part in the discussion had no trade
union standing. both being editors of
Socialist papers, and that might con
vey to American readers the impress
sion that the discussion at Stuttgart
was not representative Of the actual
Trade Union movement.
The Belgians passed q resolution
which declared the necessity Of an
absolute unity of thought and action
between these two organizations Of
the working class. They were Of the
opinion that the unity Of action is
only possible where the various or
carnations are actually federated to-
gether.
The Austrians pressed different
resolution. which declared that the
Socialist Party and the Unions should
preserve preserve their complete au-
tonomy. but that association and CO
operation between the two movements
should be Of the closest possible
character.
In Belgium the Party, the Coop
eratives and the Unions are actually
members Of one organization. There
is autonomy in this sense only; that
whatever solely concerns the Coop
eratiVes is decided by the Co-opera-
tives; whatever solely concerns the
Unions is decided by the Unions;
whatever solely concerns the Party is
decided by the Party.
Beer. Of Austria. in moving the res.
olution Of that country. declared that
the close relation which existed be-
tween the Trade Unions and the Par
ty in his country was assured By the
fact that the leaders Of the Unions
and the leaders Of the Party were the
same men. He believed that the two
movements should be organized sep
arately, and he opposed fusion be-
tween them. The Party and the I'm
ions should be considered equally Inn
portant and should have ethe same
rights. Neither the one nor the other
should endeavor to be supreme. The
Unions would be injured II they were
to subordinate themselves to the
Party, and would become merely or
CARNATIONS for political propaganda.
They would then abandon their chief
work, which is to ameliorate the i'm
mediate material condition Of the
working class.
The French also introduced res
olution which declared that the Trade

IT rs EASY TO UNDERSTAND that worl

TT rs EASY TO UNDERSTAND that working

chants will devote time to thinking about this and
less tosposing "refomers but it is difficult to
derstand just what sanctfies LaBele stock Both
based upon exploitation Of human beings persons
living upon the labor Of othersand this is the most inn
moral thing in the world.
In stores there are, a rough estimate twice as
many clerks would be necessary to wait upon custom
ordinarily The management arTanges for this be-
each clerk, matter how humble supposed to
and thus customers added to the stores list Thus
trade is influenced through the exploitation Of clerks
Half many clerks at twice the wages would make the
total outlay but clerks supposed to not only
wait on customers ut to attract them. This is main
cause of low wages in Stores second only to competition
among the girls themselves That girls are thus forced
to work for wages below the actual cost of living is we
agree, thoroughly damnable
But is LaBele exploitation holy? LaBelle mills are
ponunon Workers forced to compete for work and
this brings wages down They must be paid less than
the product of their labor there would be dividends
for those who do labor, but who LaBelle stock
This would be sufficiently damnable If he dividends
were only upon the actual Investment hut now there
is scheme af0Ot to form company comprising

So IN both the store and the mill the workers are
robbed of the value Of their labor This true of all
capitalist industry girls boys men and women rob

patry increase in wages change the condition; it will
but alter the degree of robbery.
Change, then, if you will the degree Of force with

but donOt ask who battling for the abolition of
industrial robbery to be meek and contented with only
the altering of the degree Of the robbery.
