ate the economic factors of society,
to compel the masses still to follow
it's lead. The economic basis for the
victory of reaction was, to a consider
able extent, the slight revival in ag-
riculture and industry, enlarged and
magnified by capitalist manipulation
and publicity. The election demon
strated also the cowardice and the
political weakness Of the middle
classes, which, although dissatisfied
with the hegemony of big capital. and
in spite of their grievances produced
by the agrarian and industrial crises
for which the republican party offered
no remedy, refused to follow even
such a mild course Of protest as the
one expressed by the LaFollette move
ment. It further exposed the COM
plete inability of the official leader
ship of the labor movement &c enthuse
the working class for any kind of ac-
ton. Big capital has thereby COM
pleted its task Of mobilizing its forces
for continued oppression and exploita-
ton OF the working masses. 1t is now
the duty OF the workers and poor
farmers to awaken to the real state
Of affairs and to begin the mobiliza-
ton OF their own forces for the strug-
gle against their oppressors. The COM
parative strength OF the existing polit-
zeal parties cannot be gagged correct
ly by the election figures. The capital
list politicians controlling the election
machinery have robbed the LaFollette
movement OF probably million votes,
and have cut down The vote OF the
Workers Party to a fraction of what
was really cast.
2. The LaFollette movement, al
though supported in this election
mainly by industrial workers and poor
farmers, is a political alliance OF Ave
distinct social groups. These are;
(a) small and medium bankers, mer-
chants. and manufacturers; (b) rich
and well-to-do-farmers tc) profess
sional groups; (d) certain sections Of
the labor aristocracy; and (e) the
trade-union bureaucracy.
The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1924-11-26

These five groups are moving to-
gether politically, at present in rather
a loose fashion, for the purpose OF
securing for themselves a measure OF
political power which they will use
against the political aspirations Of the
proletarian masses and the poorest
sections Of the farmers. In other
words, the LaFollette combination is
socially and politically a bourgeois
movement hostile and antagonistic to
the proletarian class struggle and to
the political independence Of the op-
pressed and toiling masses.
3. Gompers and the Old Guard Of
A. ?. of L. Bureaucracy.
The endorsement OF the LaFollette
campaign by the bureaucracy of the
A. f. of L. was dictated primarily
by a desire to preserve their leader
ship in the American labor move.
ment,. which was endangered by the
following four facts: (a) the complete
bankruptcy OF the Gompersian trade
union policies which resulted in weak
ening the unions to such an extent as
to reduce their fighting ability almost
to nothing; (b) the feeling throughout
the rank and file that the coming
attacks by the capitalists could not be
resisted by the unions with their old
tactics, policies, and forms Of organi-
cation; (c) the demand from the rank
and file for some measure OF political
influence for the unions in the hope
that this may forestall or weaken the
impact OF these coming capitalist at
tacks: and (d) the brazen anti-labor
attitude assumed by the national con
ventlons OF the two old parties which
completed the establishment of the
rank and file and made Il impossible
for Gompers to endorse either Cool
idge or Davis without seriously en-
dangering his leadership. The above
facts prompted the bureaucracy OF
the A. r. OF L. to enter into an ALI.
anco with the petty-bourgeoisie for
common political action. Because OF
the comparative weakness OF the La.
Toilette movement, as demonstrated

ISSUE LETTER ON ORGANIZATION AND
CONDUCT OF THE PARTY DISCUSSION

Federation Secretaries and City
Central Committees on the organ
Izatlon and conduct Of the party
discussion. To be read at the next
regular meetings of these commit
tees thruout the party.
REAR coMRADEs:--It Is the
~ Intention Of the Central Exeou-
tive Committee that In this pre-
convention period the party NOM
bershlp be given the widest pos
slble opportunity to study and dis
ouss all phases Of the central prob
lem at present confronting the
Workers Party, in order that the
whole party membership may be
able to arrive at a mature and we'll
considered Judgment before pass
ing final decision.
To this end, for the most thoro
and widespread discussion In the
history Of the party, the Central
Executive Committee is making
ample provisions to give the MEM
bershlp full opportunity to familiar
ize themselves with the points Of
view Of the minority as we'll as that
Of the Central Executive Commit
tee.
As a guarantee that the discus
sion will be carried on In q con-
structive manner, the Central Exc
eutive Committee considers Il nee
essary to lay down some general
principles regarding the conduct Of
the discussion for the advice and
guidance of all party committees,
which will be responsible to the
Central Executive Committee for
putting them into effect In all sec
tions Of the party under their su.
pervislon.
A fundamental condition for such
q thoro and constructive discus.
sion is that no attempt be made
In any section Of the party to force
the membership to snap judgment
or premature decision on the vital
problems confronting the party
Such attempts are bound to pro.
duce destructive results and to
initiate against the party arriving
at a sober and weIl-consldered de-
cision.
An example Of what may result
from any such attempts occurred
at a general membership meeting
in Chicago held on Nov. 10. Al
