POLITICAL ORGANIZATION

ming has grown the worldwide po1iti-
cal Socialist movement.
The Second Ward local of Belling-
ham mentions these historical facts for
the reason that in the past year the
Socialist party of Washington has
shown a tendency to depart from the
MARKHAM political program and become
reactionary. Socialist organizations,
local, state and national, must first of
all be political We cannot be a po-
litical party and labor union at one
and the same time. AS in the earlier
period of the party, let us pursue the
better plan of assisting labor organi-
cations in all their defensive and ag-
gressive struggles against capitalist
oppression and exploitation, allowing
the labor union to determine their own
forms of organization, while the So
cialist party attends to the political
needs of the struggle. 1t is time for
the Washington party to get in line
with the national party's attitude to-
ward labor organizations. (See APP
pendiX F, Proceedings National Con-
vention, 1912, p. 1861 Such attitude
is in full agreement with the Interna-
tional Socialist movement, and if we
depart: from it we may as well ac-
knowledge that we have abandoned po-
litical action.
Every class struggle is a political
struggle. Whosoever repudiates the
political struggle, by this very act
gives up all part and lot in the class
struggle From "Anarchism and So
cialism" by George Plechanoff
That is clearly expressed; it is in
accord with the Communist Manifesto
and we suggest that the Common
wealth place it alongside the papers
heading, and keep it there until every
Socialist in Washington understands
that the class struggle cannot be sep
arated from the political struggle.

ICON BIN E."
(By Frances E. Willard.)

(By Frances q. Willard.)
"Every atom says to every other
one, Combine" and doing so, they
change chaos into order. When every
woman shall say to every other, "Com-
bine," the war-draeon shall be slain,
the poverty viper shall be extermi-
mated, the goId-bug transfixed, the sa-
loon drowned out, and the last white
slave liberated.
"capital has learned the value of
combination. Labor must learn it too,
and the greatest numbers greatest
good must be the workers motto in
this fight"
