"Even the |. W. w. Is Becoming

Radicals

able to arouse, lntegrate and direct the
revolutionary energy Of the proletariat !"
In SO far, therefore, as the l. W..
W. represents revolutionary elements,
teaches that the present organization of
society must be entirely destroyed to
make way for control by the workers,
the Left Wing indorse the l, W. W. In
the approaching era of industrial dis
turbance, according to Fraina, the So
cialist party should embark on cam
paign "to move the masses" The CAM
paign should "get the workers to march
out Of the plants, go to other plants and
pull out other workers, broaden the scope
Of this industrial action into mass action
Only the aggressive action of the
industrial proletariat can prevent the
government from putting over its re-
dictionary plans"
These strikes are to be used to "de-
velop in the proletariat the consciousness
of revolutionary mass action, to develop
the concept and practice Of political
strikes, to make it realize that
when it wants to act It's action should
develop out Of the MILL mine and fac
tory. Our political action should become
part and parcel Of this mass action,
should promote the aggressive industrial
struggle. To broaden a strike into a
demonstration, to develop out of these
revolutionary mass action against CAPT
talsm and the state-that is the policy
Of revolutionary socialism, that is the
policy which will transform the coming
period Of strikes definitely into the
period of revolutionary action, preparing
the mass action of the revolution"
The leaders Of the Socialist party, by
reason Of their alienation from the Amer
ican Federation Of Labor as we'll as from
the /. W. w., have not been in position
to initiate any such programme as
Fraina and the Left Wing stand for.
The membership Of union men in the
Socialist party heretofore has been a
limited one, except in groups like the
United Hebrew Trades and the Western
Federation Of Miners. The leaders Of
the Socialist party have been, as one of
their own "moderate' critics put it,
"long on theory and resolutionizing and
painfully short on action and revolu-
tionizing."
Unlike the I. W. w, the Left Wing
do not stop short at industrial union
ism. They are for industrial organiza-
tion akin to the soviet government of
Russia. The manifesto of the New York
section Of the Left Wing, which is in it's
essentials indorsed by the Left Wing
elsewhere, urges the organization Of
workmens councils, "workmens control
Of industry, to be exercised by the in
dustrial organizations Industrial unions
or soviets) Of the workers and the in
dustrial vote, as against government
ownership or state control of Industry"
reputation Of national debts and ex-
preparation of large organizations Of
capital.
The hostility of this section of the
Socialist party toward the present lead
ership was heightened, no doubt, by the
action taken in 1912, when the Socialist
party constitution was amended and
provision inserted expelling from the

tage. Although the amendment wa,
dropped in 1914, on the ground ths.
the party did not wish to condition ~
interfere with the programmes ~
labor organizations, it made an irrecon
cilable breach with the l. W. W, agains,
which it was directed, and with larcs
sections of floating revolutionary sent;
ment.
New-York tribune., 1919-04-06
An Emergency
Convention

AS against these aggressive measures
OF the Left Wing, the moderate group
reply that as no Socialists have ever
been taken into the Cabinet or accented
government Office there is no conser-
vatlve wing of the party, and the entire
party, or 80 per cent of it, is to be
regarded as Left Wing. The leaders
of the Left Wing retort that if the party
is Left Wing it is not properly repre-
sented in it's officers. To this end they
are calling for an emergency national
convention of the party.
1t should be said of the Left Wing
that the Lettish branches furnish its
main strength in Boston, and the Rus
SLAMS are its strength in Michigan.
In New York City the Socialist
local, at 43 West Twenty-ninth Street,
which takes in the Third, Fifth and
Tenth Assembly districts, is the centre
OF the Left Wing activity. It is of this
local that John Reed, Rose Pastor Stokes
and Jim Larkin are members, and among
the English speaking locals of the party
1t is undoubtedly the foremost in Left
wing agitation. Another Left Wing
local is that in the Eighth Assembly dis
trlct, IN lower Second Avenue
Offlclally the New York County CEN
trai committee of the Socialist party has
condemned the Left Wing for its fac
tlonallsm and characterized it as "an
organization whose sole activity is hav-
ing no other effect than to divide and
dlsslpate our strength and forces" The
resolution, which was submitted to all
branches in Manhattan, stated it to be
the sentiment of the executive that
there is no room within our party for
another organization parallel to the or
ganzation of the party proper; that we
strongly disapprove of it; that the diver
sion to faction of the work and Of the
funds and energies that belong to the
party as a whole is menace to the in
tegrity of our party"
But however deeply the creation of a
new and parallel organization is de-
plored by Socialist party members, many
of the rank and file sympathze with its
extreme stand. "a Left Wing is de-
sIrable, but Left Wing section is sui
cidal," is the way Evans Clark put
it in letter to "The Call" And a letter
signed by Scott Nearing, Mr.. Clark,
Moses Oppenheimer, Louis p. Lochncr,
Ludwig Lore, Walter NJ. Cook, Benjamin
Glassberg and several others stated that
1.-THE time has come for the party TO re-
state its principles and reformulate its
tactics"
Eight principles are proposed in the
letter, closely following the programme
laid down by the Left Wing. They in
clude abolition of all social reform
panks, agitation exclusively for the
overthrow Of capitalism, propaganda for
revolutionary unionism, call for a spe-
cial national convention of the party,
and refusal to participate in conferences
with moderate Socialists" and social
patriots"

attitude of the capitalist world which

 Three petitions were received from residents of the Hill section in regard to the lines and grades on Lewiston avenue and Chestnut street. These were all referred to the street commit tee and city engineer for investigation and report. The petition referred to a condition that has long been hanging fire, and according to the petitioners was taken up by them first f1 1917. Their claim is that according to the lines and grades furnished them by the city they made their property con- form to height one foot higher than the present figure now submitted by the city, and the changes which will result will damage their property to considerable extent. The second read ing on four sidewalk applications was heard and the usual course was voted in each case. The annual budget sub mitted for the approval of the council totaled $127, 400. or $9,5O0 less than last year. The first figure submitted was an even s10.000 less than that of one year ago. but on the suggestion of AL deYman Laramee it was voted to ap- propriate $500 more for the footbridge on account of rewiring and painting that will be necessary.

the fifth meeting of the two. Once
Dundee put Leonard on his back

down for good Leonard also harbors

will challenge the winner from the
ring. Lew, however, insists that the
weight be 1873 pounds ringside.
A bout which is creating almost
as much interest as the windup will
be the fracas between Eddie Moy
and Irish Patsy Cline. There are few
men as popular as Cline in Philadel-

most a year, his last appearance be

as ever, but he will'have to travel at
a fast pace to defeat Moy.

DR.. Posey Equals Hawkins
Record of Last Year; He
Also Breaks 100 Straight

W. w. Posey hung up a record for
local trap shots by breaking straight
in four enty-five-target events in
the Lancaster Gun Club shoot Satur-
day. This is the second time the feat
was accomplished, j. NOVEL; Haw-
kins, the Harrisburg professional
having broken straight at the State
tournament in June, 1918. Twelve
of fourteen shooters went through
the full program of 100 targets.
Among the contestants was Will
liam Urlass, who has recently re-
turned from Alaska, after a long abb
sence from this city. He is a trapper
and hunter in the Far North, but
this was his first experience at the
target game. Mr. Posey's exhibition
was a remarkable one. The day was
ideal, but the targets were elusive
Every break, however, was clean
and the clays were completely pull
verized. Following were the scores:
