Swabeck's Class
On Trade Union
Strategy Opens

How many excellent revolutionary
measures have been defeated in the
American trade unions for the sole
reason that their proponents did not
know enough about the A. B. G. Of
trade union tactics to overcome the
trickery of the reactionary official
dom!
Systematic education to do away
with this state of affairs is the pur-
pose of a five-weeks' study class in
Trade Union Tactics, conducted by
Arne Swabeck, beginning Thursday,
September II, under the auspices of
the Educational Council of the Work
ers Party, Local Chicago.
Is Experienced Unionist.
Comrade Swabeck, in addition to
being District Organizer of the Work
ers Party, is an experienced trade
unionist. He is a member of the
painters union, and delegate from
his local to the Chicago Federation OF
Labor. He was prominent figure in
the famous Seattle general strike,
which electrified the entire country
in the winter of 1919.
A large enrolment is expected for
the study class. 1t will be of unusual
interest to all radical trade unionists,
whether they belong to the Workers
Party or not. Anyone desirous Of
Joining the class should communicate
lat once with Manuel Gomez, Educa-
'tional Director, 166 w. Washington
St., Chicago Telephone, State $3.50,
or State 1885. The fee for the five-
weeks course is $1.O0.

The Communist Parties OF every
country may be such directing
force. The militant association Of all
these parties constitutes the Com
munist International We, the dele
gates of this International, gathered
together for the fifth time for our
world Congress, in Moscow, which
has been made free by the efforts Of
the workers and peasants, address to
you, workers of all lands, these words
of reminder, Of warning, and of sum-
mons
Victory is only possible if there is
a will to victory, and faith in vic
tory. Victory can only be attained
by rallying around the party which is
eager for victory, and can lead to
victory.
Workers! Let the question of war
be the touchstone by which you test
the loyalty of parties and leaders.
Truly, the workers have been hoaxed
long enough by the words, the phras-
es, the promises, the bombastic lies
of the demagogues. Demand action,
examine the facts. Down with the
charlatans of pacifism who in time Of
peace carry on a wordy war against
war, but at the first sound of shot
are transformed into chauvinist jack
ais. Down with those socialists who
rail against the oppression of the
bourgeoisie in the newspapers and at
meetings, and then in the hour of diff
ficulty for the bourgeoisie, become
their staunchiest supporters. Down
with the yellow Amsterdam trade un-
ionists who take their orders from the
bourgeoisie ministers and the mag
mates of capital. Down with those
traitors who vote the money for war,
who help to build capitalist armies to
defend the bourgeoisie state. who
support colonial slavery, and thus
prepare new wars. Down with the
Menshevist leaders of political and
trade union organizations. Drive
them away, expose them, boycott
them, force them out of the ranks of
the working class. Watch them
sharply, size them up, place no conf
dence in their words, but examine
their deeds-and you win become
convinced that there is only one par
ty which is ready to lead you into bat
tie and able to guarantee victory
the Communist Party. Look at Rus
sia: in this vast but backward coun-
try, the revolutionary party created
by the genius Of Lenin was able not
only to overthrow its own bourgeoisie
but to defend the government of the
workers against innumerable enemies.
In the face of enormous difficulties,
consequent on the backwardness of
the country, the low cultural level,
and the enormity of the destruction
produced by two successive wars, the
workers and peasants are erecting
stone by stone the structure of the
Socialist commonwealth.
You, the proletariat of England and
America, could accomplish incompar-
ably more in this direction than the
proletariat of Russia, for you are
more numerous, and your country is
richer. In order that you may be an
invincible force, you need only to
realize your own strength, and to ap-
ply it properly. The International
Communist Party will teach you to
do this. Follow it,
And you, despoiled and oppressed
peasants, come into our great union.
The Peasants International founded
last year is devoting its forces wholly

confidence and support to the boul
geois governments, to vote against the
budget. Any socialist who enters
a bourgeois ministry, any deputy who
helps a bourgeois government to col
lect its taxes, or who draws the work
ers and peasants into military serv-
ice-is traitor and villain. There
can be no place for such a person in
the ranks of the working class. We
must drive from the trade unions
every leader who directly or indirectly
aids, justifies, or supports militarism.
We must clean the proletarian or
ganizations of political strike-break-
ers. we must remind all workers,
men and women of how the last war
was prepared, and how the Social
Democrats for four years helped inn
perialism to destroy the workers and
peasants. We must appeal tirelessly
to the youth of town and country.
The inhuman suffering of their faith
ers and older brothers during the i'm
perialist war must be transformed in
the worker and peasant youth to a
burning hatred Of the perpetrators of
the war. 1t is necessary that the
youth enter the capitalist armies with
an inward determination to direct
their arms not against their brother
proletarians, but against their class
enemy, the bourgeoisie. We must la
Dor tirelessly to break down those ar
tificial walls which exist between the
army and the working class. We must
maintain close connection with the
barracks. We must see that the word
of truth reaches every soldier. We
must unite the class conscious sol
diers into small groups. We must
establish revolutionary organization
on an iron foundation from the most
courageous and devoted of the prole.
tartan fighters. We must direct our
attention to the military factories. In
eacn of these there must be strong
militant nucleus, which will be capa-
BILE at the decisive moment of carry
ing with them all the working masses.
The bourgeoisie fear neither pacifist
preaching, nor the Social Democrats
| threat of a general strike. But the
bourgeoisie tremble with hatred and
fear at the news of the formation Of
each little illegal nuclei on the rail-
roads, in the military factories, and
especially in the army and fleet. The
bourgeoisie know that there is not a
single worker or peasant or soldier
who wants war, and that it is only
their lack of organization and self
confidence which forces them to go
submissively to war. The bourgeoisie
know that small but strong nucleus
l1n each regiment may place a deci-
sive role at the decisive moment.
This is the reason that every CAPT
talist government, whatever its demo-
cratic guise, persecutes mercilessly
all real revolutionary work, and this
is the reason that it is the duty of
every revolutionist to increase his eff
forts in this direction ten-fold Only
that party which from day to day
carries on an unremitting struggle
against the bourgeoisie; that party
which rallies the workers to the
struggle; which has learned to hate
the domination of capital; which in
fects the masses with this hatred;
which prepares the necessary forces
and means for the combat; which es-
tablishes bases of support for the
evolution in the barracks-only such
| a party can really fight against war.

Peasants Of Europel Farmers of
America!
Tillers of the soil in every land!
Your farms, the lives of your sons are
at stake! Arise, unite, join with the
revolutionary working classl There
is no other course for you, no other
salvation!
The women-sisters, wives and
mothers less noticeably perhaps
than the men-but no less painfully.
are weighed down by the monstrous
burden of militarism and war. The
destruction of the workers family,
the ruination of the farmers home
steads, the four years of war, trans
formed the working woman into a
beast of burden for capital. The war
has left a terrible imprint on the
hearts Of mothers, wives and sisters.
After all that the working woman has
experienced during these years, she
must be in the first ranks in the
struggle against war and capital
Working Womenl Peasant Women!
Your place is with us-we summon
you, and we expect you.
The revolutionary education of the
colonial peoples has become a ques-
tion Of life and death for the pro-
letariat. If the bourgeoisie strive to

sion of the proletariat thru colonial
oppression, then we, on our side,
must bring about revolt in the col
onies to support the revolt of the pro-
letariat.
National and race prejudices are
the fruit of slavery and the susten-
ance Of slavery. Chauvinism open or
concealed, is the best prop of mill
tarism and the surest means for the
preparation of future wars. 1t is nec-
essary to declare a merciless strug-
gle against national prejudices and
race superiority. Not only direct
hostility, and a scorn and derision.
but the patronizing condescending at
titude of the white people. toward the
the yellow or black races, must be
sharply condemned by the workers as
despicable breach of solidarity. as
the worst kind of scabbing. We must
teach the colonial workers to regard
the white workers as their brothers.
And to bring this about, the white
proletariat must adopt brotherly at
titude toward the colored population
Of the colonies.
Proletariat of EuropeI
More attention must be given to
the colonial question, greater efforts,
must be expended in revolutionary
work in the colonies. In the very
place where the bourgeoisie are hop
ing to find the most dependable sup
port, we must deal our heaviest
blows.

They predict the ruin Of Europe, and
first of all of Germany il they should
fail to submit to American capital.
We, the Communists, say to the work
ers of Europe-your only salvation is
in an unremitting war against the
plan Of the experts, against its pro-
mulgators and supporters. You must
clear the Social Democrats from your
road, you must overthrow the bour-
geoisie, you must take power into
your own hands, you must unite the
various sections of the economic
structure of Europe, and direct them
along the road to Socialism. If Sow
let Russia has been able to defend
herself yictoriously for so many years
against the capitalists of Europe and
America, certainly the victory of the
European proletariat is also assured
if they, on seizing power, unite the
European countries into Soviet Fed
GRAFTON, into workers and PEASANTS
United States of Europe. Thus not
only will European culture be rescued
from decline and decay, not only will
freedom and independence be guar
anteed to the colonial and semi-col-
onial peoples, but mortal blow will
be dealt to the world autocracy of
American capital. The revolutionary
movement in America will receive a
great impetus. The European Social
ist Federation will thus become the
cornerstone Of the world socialist re-
public. Only then will human be-
ings be able to think and act like real
human beings; only then will world
economy be established on a basis of
solidarity and reason, and world re-
lations be transformed into the fra
ternal exchange of material and spir-
itual wealth between the separate
peoples and continents. War will be
a thing of the past, since there will
be no longer any reason for it. The
armies and soldiers will disappear.
All the efforts of human beings will
be directed toward the enrichment of
our earth, toward the improvement
and adornment of human life.
Such is the task of the Communist
International-a huge task, but not
an impossible one. The road to its
realization was indicated by Marx
and Engels. 1t is the road of fierce
struggle in each country against the
national bourgeoisie, it is the road
of combining the forces of the pro-
letariat of all countries for the seiz-
ure of power and the establishment
Of the dictatorship of the proletariat,
Whoever tells you there is another
road is lying to you. The Communist
International serves the interests of
the proletariat in that it speaks the
truth. Let that truth resound thru
out the world like the tocsin of the re-
volutionary struggle!

tions of humanity, like Paris and Lon
don, are open to destruction from
above The terrors of the last war
are as the play of lightning on a sum
mer's eve, as compared with the
thunder-bolts of the approaching
storm. All the technical power OF
capitalist society, and all it's social
barbarity, the insolubility of it's con
tradictions, embittering the ruling
classes against each other, and all to
gether against the proletariat, are like
an accumulation of a mass of poison
GUS and explosive substances, hang
ing over the head of ill-fated human
ity. A new war would mean first ot
all, the mass ruin of the peasants ant
farmers, the depopulation and desola
tion Of the country side. the conver
sion of the land, cultivated by Ions
generations of peasantry, into vast,
desert and cemeteries. For Europe
as a whole, it would mean the destruc
tion of civilization, the wreck of all the
hopes of liberation for which severa
generations of workers have already
fought.

with the gigantic task of finding some
way to prevent new war and thus tC
save humanity from degeneration and
