1t had also against it the official lead
ership of its own union. "Thou are
neither hot or cold" said the Lord
of Israel, somewhere in the Scriptures,
Therefore shall spew thee out of
my mouth"
The result Of this was a spinal
weakness. And so, when the union
leaders Numbered forth their con-
demnation, and, on June II, Lord Ash
field, chairman of the railway com
pany, stated that any man not return
ing to work would be legally proceed
ed against for not having given
proper notice, and would also be con-
sidered as having definitely left his
employment-why, then the drift
back to work began, and the unofficial
committee hastily declared the strike
at an end.
Thus, the present situation, at the
date of writing, is that the unofficial
strikers have returned The trains
are running at their normal rate. But
the craft union men are still engaged
in parleys with the employers, which
might still result in strikes in the
power houses and repair shops by the
electricians, engineers, blacksmiths
and vehicle builders. 1t is really
rather a pathetic example of the evils
of craft organization: one union goes
back, and the others come out-and
so oni
Locomotive Men May Come Out.
But this does not finish our survey
of the railway situation. There are
still the locomotive engineers to be
considered. The men were engaged
in negotiations with the companies
with regard to national demands.
These demands relate to the system
of classification now in use, and also
to the rates of payment for Sunday
work.
Negotiations have broken down.
And a ballot is now being conducted
among the $4,000 members of the
Associated Society of Locomotive
Engineers and Firemen on the ques-
ton of a national railway strike
Soon, therefore, We may see a nation
wide strike of drivers and firemen on
the British railways.
Industrial But Reactionary.
In order that we may derive, from
the whole situation, some guidance
for the future, let us review the whole
position Of affairs. There is, on the
British railroads, one union which is
CONSTRUCTED along the lines Of indus

trial unionism. This is the National
Union of Railwaymen, which accepts
into its ranks workers of all grades.
This union includes all the so-called
uniformed" STATS; the station per-
sonnet, with the exception of the
clerks. 1t also has all the brakemen
and switchmen. 1t includes fairly
large minority Of the locomotive en-
gineers, and also has members belong
ing to the various crafts employed in
the repair shops and power houses.
Those of the engineers who do not
belong to the N. U. R. belong to the
A. S. L. e. F. Thus there are two
unions, one craft and one industrial,
among the engineers. But it is in the
shops where sectionalism is at its
worst. There you have workers be-
longing to the four craft unions men.
toned above, and also to the N. U. R.
1t must also be noted that the N. U. r.
is by no means considered as a par
ticularly militant union.
Militancy Not Matter of Form.
The adoption by union of the in
dustrial form does not inevitably imply
an intensification of its class fighting
spirit. The craft union, the A. S. l..
p. F., for example, has a much greater
reputation as fighting union, and it's
leader, Bromley, expresses himself
with far more energy and class mill
fancy than do the leaders of the
N. U. R. And, as to the A. E. u, one
has only to point to its numerous
battles. to the fact that a welLknown
and avowed revolutionist like Tom
Mann could have been elected to, and
served his term in, the position of
general secretary (and has lust re-
Gently been elected by the membership
at the top of the list, as the A. E. u.
parliamentary candidate for the next
election).
Thus there is apparent a chaos on
the British railroads which is only
second to that on the American rail-
roads, where there are sixteen unions
dividing among themselves the afilia-
ton of the rail transport workers.
Solidarity and Cohesion.
The recent unofficial strike has en-
phasized the lesson for the British
militants. 1t has shown the necessity
for a well organized minority move
ment among the railroad workers, ma
tionally co-ordinated, so that, if unofi-
cial strikes arise-and they will inevi-
tably arise, not because Of RED"
propaganda, but because of conditions
and the lethargy Of the leaders-they
shall be on large scale, and shall be

that the higher officials Of the Nation

these allegations. They issued their
condemnations of these workers, who

cramp Has Cramps.
One statement appearing in the
London evening press was by c. =
Cramp, the secretary of the N. U. R
Cramp was once counted as a revolu
ZIONIST. Not so many wears ago, he
used to use the phraseology of revolu
ton, and even used to comment some
what strongly on conservative" labor
leaders. Listen to him now:
This is a fight between order and
mob law.
GAS far as I am concerned l will
neither compromise nor bow down
to the handful of people who are con
tinuing this wretched business. The
tragedy Of the whole thing is that
large numbers of honest and decent
workers are being led by persons
chiefly interested in obtaining prom
inence or money, or both. 1t is only
one manifestation of an underground
movement which has been going on
for considerable time. Almost every
large union in the country has been
afflicted with this FOUL disease.
Attempts to placate or temporize
with the forces of anarchy must lead
to worse disasters later on"
This brought Mr. Cramp into prom
inence on the front pages of all the
London evening journals, and consti
tuted most heavy blow at the
morale of the strikers. 1t will be
noted that, as the Left-Wing move

sufnciently bold and militant TO hold
out some prospects of success. But
the task of the minority movement
does not end there.
1t is also up to the militants to
strive to deliver the British railway
workers from the entangling mesh Of
conflicting unions And this can only
be done by the organization of the
rank and file in the places where they
work. BY the formation of commit
tees of the workers belonging to all
unions in the industry, starting with
the shop, the station, the yards or the
division, and working up to a national
organization of railroad workers, we
shall achieve the strength which will
bring about those changes which will
at last see genuine industrial unionism
in force upon the railways.
No Dual Movement.
By the above, no dual movement is,
of course, implied. The organization
is to be one of propaganda, and also
for militant action in those cases
where the reactionary officials fail to
take the lead when the workers begin
some spontaneous movement It shall
exist for the purpose of bringing pres
sire to bear upon the union leadership,
and also, eventually, to change the
quality of that leadership.
Such an organization exists, in its
early beginning, at least, now, in
Britain. 1t is the Transport Workers
Minority Movement, which has been
Professionally started under the aus
pices of the R. I. L. U. In various
parts Of the country. local transport
workers committees have already
been formed. in which railroaders of
all grades and unions are participat-
ing together. The next step will be
the calling of national conference of
these committees, and the placing of
the minority movement upon firm
national basis.
The unofficial strike has shown us
this much: there exists a widespread
dissatisfaction among the members
of the N U. r. with their old leader
ship. There is a mass of militant
sentiment here which can be welded
into a splendid fighting force. This
can only be done thru careful, ardu-
GUS and prolonged efforts on the part
of the British militants-the Commu-
nists and other adherents of the
r. l. L. U. The objective conditions
are ripe for such move-not only in
the railway industry, but in most of
the industries of Britain. The task
lies before us; let us to the task.

the men are on strike at many mines
to resist wage cuts. We are very
skeptical about Lewis sending anyone.
In the 1922 strike some of the inter-
national organizers sent into the

back, saying there were too many
deputies. So we can't expect more
now.

in 1922 when he was looked upon as
a real union man, but since loss of

PLEDGES AID TO
NATIONAL PARTY
Workers VIII Unite to

Special to The DAILY WoRKER)

NEW YORK, July 1.-The executive
committee of the United Farmer-Labor
party of the state Of New York sends
its greetings to the newly formed Ma
tional Farmer-Labor party committee
and pledges its support in the cam
paign to elect Duncan Mcdonald and
Bouck as president and vice-president
of the United States.
The United Farmer-Labor party Of
New York is indeed gratifed that the
convention which assembled at st.
Paul nominated worker and farmer
to head it's ticket in the coming presi-
Dental election and hopes that the
national committee will carry on an
aggressive campaign thruout the
country.
The workers Of New York are anx-
ious to show their solidarity with the
workers and farmers of the rest of the
country and will do all in their power
to build up powerful state party.
The executive committee of the
United Farmer-Labor party will very
shortly set date for another state
convention for the purpose Of nominal
ing candidates for the state and local
tickets, and to map out an aggressive
campaign for the state. Plans are
being worked out to hold open air
meetings everywhere thruout the state
20 familiarize the workers with the
rewly-formed Farmer-Labor party.
A special committee has been ap-
pointed to work out the details of the
campaign and to cooperate with the
state organizer of the party to prepare
the petitions and to put the Farmer
Labor party on the ballot of the state
as a legal party.

outcome of this fight between the coal
companies and the miners will have a
big effect on the U. NJ. w. Of A. as a
whole, because if the coal companies
are successful in cutting wages it will
mean unemployment for thousands Of
union miners, as the coal companies in
the coke region will be able to under
sell union mined coal.
1t will break the morale of thou
sands of miners, union and non-union,
seeing open shop coal operators vic
torious on every battle front. West
Virginia is losing its union miners.
District II is just a shadow of its
strength in 1920, and District 5 will
follow. The question is, which will be
next, Ohio or Illinois, to fall before the
onslaught of the coal operators and

Denunciations of the strikers were
hurled at them by the Indignant Of.
ficials, and the men were urged to
return to work.
The striking shopmen, however,
stood firm. Then came the storm of
abuse from the capitalist press The
main thread, running thru the news
items and the editorial articles of the
entire British press-with the excep-
ton of the labor organs-was that
this strike was Communist strike.
Liberal Organs Spews Venom.
Even that incarnation of liberal
"impartiality," the Manchester Guard
ian, exhibited the same hysteria as
it's less sedate sisters of the press.
Not only did it have a long article
proving, by means of excerpts from
the Communist and r. /. L. u. press,
that the strike was a Communist one,
but it even excoriated the strikers,
in an editorial, for following the lead
ership of the terrible Bolsheviks. The
proof that the strike was planned and
conducted by Communists consisted
in the fact that the Communist official
organ had published articles against
the officialdom of the union, and in
favor of the railroad mems minority
movement!
The Communist Party of Great
Britain, and the British Bureau of the
Red International of Labor Unions,
of course, were compelled to state
that they had not started the strike
not because they were averse to lead
ing the workers in any movement for
the workers betterment, but just be-
cause they hadn't started it. They
supported the strike, but they had
not planned it.
The strike was the outcome, not of
Communist, but of the miserable con-
ditions which the shopmen were COM
PEELED to endure, and the inertia of
the reactionary leadership of their
union. In blaming the entire affair
upon the Reds, the capitalist press
did the Left-Wingers the compliment
of attributing to them far greater
influence in the British trade union
movement than, unfortunately, they
have, as yet, acquired.
Familiar Bunk.
An amusing instance of this Red
scare was a statement in the Eve
ming News" that the workers in the
power stations had struck because
special instructions had been sent
from Moscow that they must concen-
trate on the power stations! This
centuries up romantic picture of
Comrade Zinoviev or Comrade Lo-
sovsky, sitting in Moscow, with a
long-distance telephone continually in
the hand, sending thoro, up-to-the-min-
ute instructions to the little group
of British workers sitting in COM
mittee at the London Labor College!
These things would be absurd
enough were it not for the tragic fact
