The ]. ". ". Movement

Many people are asking, quite
properly, what is the relation OF the
l. w. w. movement to socialism?
Socialism is a purely political
movement while the l. w. w. is a
labor union some of the members of
which (not all by any means) are
or have been socialists, but have
become impatient at the (to them)
slow results of political action, and
have joined with other impatients,
republicans, democrats and anarch-
lists for direct action" the strike,
ETC., which has too often led to VIC.
lence and riot.
Socialists syspathize with the de-
sire to better the conditions Of
working people, with the strike
properly managed, but not with
lawlessness and violence. Members
Of all political parties were engaged
in the recent riots in Illinois, tut
that commits no party to that
course of action.
Having the ballot already in the
hands of all men (and some women
with more to follow we believe
that agitation and education must
convince the majority of the advan-
tage Of organization and co-opera-
ton in industrial as well as political
life. And any action outside of
the law by less than a majority is
not only folly but contrary to the
spirit and the principles of social
democracy. A. w. Vincent.
