every fifty stitches on your coat There are about
two dozen locals in the city of New York. The
members in shop belong sometimes to all the
two dozen locals, with seperate rulings, decisions,
officials and what not. Of course, theoretically,
everything is democratic. But what good is
theory when practice goes contrary?
If the union was organized on the shop unit
system and controlled on the basis of shop dele
gates it would indeed be mobile organization and
the bosses would not pull off any horse deals and
play the fiddle getting big salaries The workers
would conduct the fight according to their wishes
and the technical help in the office would merely
give advice and carry out orders.
We will have to create fighting machine to
accomplish this AS far as we are concerned, we
are already on the job in this direction and the
labor takers in our union viii have some job to
put their latest marvel across: in fact we believe
we'll be able to prevent them from doing so, judg
ing from the temper of the workers. The takers
have hard times coming in The Amalgamated
Clothing Workers.

And the scale work. 1t is not sufficient to con-
troll the workers at their work. They must be
driven to produce the maximum for the minimum
of wages possible If due to the speeding-up, half
of them walk the streets for lack of employment
why, so much better The more starved you are
the more ensaved you feel And if those that
work should get funny, there are plenty of others
starving and knocking at the door to take their

New System Needed.
Now we workers have till now, no matter what

The labor movement lays in the organization of

One, launched by Paul Faure in lie POPULAIRE

affiliation with Moscow implies chism among

division in the labor movement
According to the other one, committed by
some brothers in Marseilles and elsewhere, it
would seem to be impossible for unions of re-
volutionary spirit to become part of the Moscow
nternatinal while still remaining within the Con-
federation of Labor &C. G. T); whence again
the necessity for split.
Thus they would have it in both cases that the

Shall the revolutionary workers carry on
their fight within the existing trade unions
or should they withdraw from them and
form new organizations? This is the burning
question in the labor movement of France
and all other industrially developed countries,
including America. 1t has long been the ac-
cepted dogma in America that the fight in
the reactionary unions is hopeless and should
be Abandoned The able editor of La Vie

Lenin to prove the utter fallacy of this dis
astrous policy. It is reprinted here for the
serious consideration of the revolutionary

Among the planks adopted were the
following:
