/ ENIN arrived abroad from Russia
l. already mature person Of thirty.
In Russia, in the student circles, in
the first Social-Democratic groups
and in exile, he had occupied the first
place. He could not help feeling his
power, for the reason that everybody
whom he had met and worked with
recognized it. He left for abroad with
a load of theoretical knowledge, with
considerable supply of political ex-
perience and permeated thru and thru
with that tension toward goal which
formed his spiritual nature.

Czecho-Slovakian labor is evident on
every side, political, national and re-
ligious, and as result, the 100000
organized workers Of Czecho-Slovakia,

Weakness and Disruption.
This weakness of the Czecho-Slo-
vakian labor movement was aggravat-
ed three years ago, during the rise
and organization of the revolutionary
labor movement. by the disruptive
tactics Of the Czecho-Slovakian re-
formists and by the general indus
trial stagnation which drove more
than half a million workers into the
camp Of the unemployed. On the
whole. the situation under which the
Czecho-Slovakian revolutionary move
ment was born in the middle OF 1922,
was entirely unfavorable to 1t. The
very fact Of its birth was a result OF

grounds to fear the complete en-
trenchment of the Communists in
their unions and therefore fastened,
through splits, to save as far as pos
sible their positions in the labor
movement.
They were enabled to do so
thanks to both the crisis and unem-
ployment, and to their support by the
capitalists, government machine
which helped them capture all the
material resources of the trade
unions. They acted mainly through
explosions of the most militant revo-
lutionary elements, including both in
dividuals and organizations and they
did not even hesitate to expel entire
national unions when the latter were
completely in the hands Of the mill

TOR nearly two years the problem
of organizational centralism. which
in Czecho-Slovakia is represented
by a departmentalized One Big Union,
has held the attention Of the entire
revolutionary labor movement Of that
country, causing various misunder-
standing and preventing more rap
i'd development Of the movement.
The point is that part of the revo.
lutionary trade unions of Czecho-Slo-
vakia-the greater part-are organ
feed in the One Big Union known as
the International General Workers
Union, while the minority, the revolu
tionary unions of building workers,
woodworkers, railwaymen, transport
workers, and commercial employees;
and the German Section Of the rev.
culinary textile workers is still def
nitely opposed to this form Of organ
ization and strives to retain its au-
tonomy, advocating at the same time
the principle of the federative form Of
organization of the revolutionary
unions.

and brilliant exponent of Marx, a
teacher Of several generations the
orist, statesman, publicist and orator
of European connections awaited
Lenin abroad. With Plekhanov were
two of the most authoritative names:
Zusulich and Axelrod
NURING the second convention and
- Immediately after it the indigna-
tion Of Axelrod and the other members
of the staff against Lenin's conduct
was mixed with perplexity: How did
he dare to do it," The perplexity in
creased soon after the convention,
following the break between Lenin
and Plekhanov, when Lenin neverthe-
less pursued the fight.
The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1924-05-24

THE attitude of Axelrod and the
1 others might have been expressed
in these words: What bit him? He
but recently came abroad as a scholar
and behaved like scholar. Whence
this sudden self-confidence? How
could he have dared?" These were the
judgments of the old leaders.
Then there was another puzzle. He
had prepared his soil in Russia. 1t
was not in vain that all communica-
tions were in the hands of Madame
Lenin. Quietly there was being car
ried on process Of conversions of
the comrades in Russia against the
Group of Labor Emancipation"
zasulich was not less indignant than
the others, but she perhaps under
stood him better 1t was not for moth
ing that she told Lenin, long before
the split, that he, as distinguished
from Plekhanov, had "a deadly grip"
Lenin always prepared for tomor-
row, Strengthening the current day.
His creative tho never stopped, his
watchfulness never rested. And when
he convinced himself that the Group
Of Labor Emancipation" was not fit
to take in it's hands the immediate
leadership Of a fighting organization
of the proletarian vanguard, in prepa-
ration for an approaching revolution,
he deduced for himself all the practi-
cal conclusions.
THE old leaders were in error, and
l not only the old ones. He was
no longer merely young, promising
revolutionary worker, he was leader,
thoroly pervaded with a tension to-
ward goal, and, think, completely
conscious of himself as the leader,
after his collaboration with the older
men, with the masters, and his per-
ception that he was stronger and
more needed than they.
ENIN arrived abroad not as a
- MARKHAM generally" not for lit
erary revolutionary activity "gener-
ally" not merely to continue the ac-
tivity of the Group of Labor Eman-
cipation," which had been carried on
for twenty years. No, he came as
-otential leader-the leader of the
revolution which was ripening, which
he sensed and felt. He came to Gre
ate in the briefest possible time the
theological rigging and the organized
machine which the revolution de-
manded.
n ND when spoke of his furious
IN and yet disciplined tension to-
wards goal, did not mean that he,
Lenin, strove to aid in the triumph
of "the final goal" No, this is too
generalized and empty. l meant it
in a concrete, direct, immediate
sense. that he put before himself
practical goal; to hasten the arrival
of the revolution and to secure it's
victory.

with them were going on. In this
preparatory work Lenin unquestion-
ably was the leader, although it was
not always noticeable. Altogether,
three workingmen arrived for the con-
vention. Lenin spoke at great length
with each of them and won all the
three over.
THE most acute question for Lenin
/ was the organization later of a
central organ, which was practically
to play simultaneously the role of a
central committee. Lenin considered
it impossible to maintain further the
old board of six. Zasulich and Axel-
rod unfailingly took the side of Pick
hanov in every dispute. And then it
was at best three against three.
Neither the one nor the other side
agreed to have one member leave the
board.

acknowledgement. Lenin wanted

Hshortly afterwards took place with
