Nova Scotia, Canada, Miners Must Fight
Lewis Inside the Coal Miners Union

the Industrial form OF organization,
they were in a terrible state Of dis
organization The reactionaries OF
the U. M. w. Of A. we're collecting
dues from them thru the check-off,
but the miners were not attending To-
cal union meetings, nor attempting in
any way to control their affairs, which
thus became the plaything of the
worst agents of the bosses.
Towards the end of 1921, the min
ers began to understand the mistake
they had made They went back into
their local unions and resumed the
| fight for militant policies and leader
ship. But the effects of the disastrous
split are still apparent in the weak
control they still have in a district
once predominantly progressive and
revolutionary. And the folly of trust
ing men because they were prominent
leaders of the o. B. U..is shown by
Sherman, leader of the secession
and later elected president of District
Is as militant, since becoming an
agent Of John L. Lewis against the
rank and file. The o. B. U. split was
disastrous thing for the miners of
Alebrta and for the whole Canadian
labor movement. The possible splen-
did effects were lost of the excellent
fighting qualities of these men who
had been in the forefront Of the Can
adfan nnovenoanf
The Policy Of the Red international
of Labor Unions.
The miners of Nova Scotia believe
| in the Red International of Labor I'm
ions. They know that it consists of
the most militant revolutionary union
lists of the worud, and that it Is forg-
ing the real leading center of the In
ternational labor movement, in alli-
ance with the Communist Interna.
tional. The miners shouts therefore
be interested in what the Red Inter-
national has to say on the question of
splits and secession.
1t is of more than passing interest
to note that the o. B. U. is opposed
to the Red International, while Dis
trict rs is in favor of it. In June.
1922, the miners of District 26 voted
to apply for affiliation to the R. l. L.
U. and to take their rightful place
alongside the revolutionary workers
of the world. But when Lewis theat-
ened to expel the District, the miners
correctly decided to withdraw the
application rather than suffer disrup-
ton at the hands of Lewis. This de-
cision was endorsed by the R. /. L.
U. John L Lewis showed himself
as the bitter enemy of the Red Inter
nationalist also is the One Big I'm.
ion. 1t has refused to affiliate, it has
denounced the Red International, and
1t pursues policy in direct opposition
to that of the Red International.
The Red International is firmly op-
posed to the policy of splitting the la
Dor unions. Communists everywhere
are opposed to this tactic, even tho
Legere, knowing that Communists or
sympathizers are in large majority
in Nova Scotia, tries to talk nice
about them and say that in Lawrence
they stand for splitting.
In the Fourth Congress of the r. L.
L. U. July, 1924 Losovsky, the gen.
eral secretary said in his report on
THE Immediate Tasks of the Revolu-
tionary Labor Union Movement" in
answer to the question, What is the
most important problem at the pres
The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1924-08-26

emit momentf": "Now especially the
slogan OF the unity OF the labor move
ment has exceptional significance"
Discussing this point, Losovsky con
tinues:
But what does this struggle for
unity imply? Is 1t pure and simple
catch-word2 Not at all. The strug-
gle for unity means the struggle in
side the working class for united ac-
ton, and only on that foundation can
unity strengthen and give form to the
united organization and turn 1t into
an instrument of revolution. If we
are to go on with the Slogan Of the
struggle for unity we must also raise
the slogan: Back into the Unions,
you who have left them, and. first of
all you who claim to be the vanguard.
Our slogan was and remains the con-
quest of the unions, which means a
relentless struggle against profes.
sional bureaucracy and for the con-
quest of the consciousness of the la
Dor Masses"
Reporting to the Fifth Congress of
the Communist International, Losv-
sky made plain the opposition of the
world movement to leaving the trade
unions to build so-called revolutionary
unions, in the following statement:
What we need is the capture of the
trade union masses and in this no re-
dictionary bureaucracy or oath of 10y
atty, as in Germany, can prevent the
Communists from extending their in
fiuence among the masses. Desertion
from the unions is not a sign of activ-
ity, but symptom of despair.
If Communist asserts that he can
no longer remain in the trade union
in spite of the decisions of the Com
munist International and of the Com
munist Party, he is a bad Communist,
for he allows himself to be carried
away by his impulses"
Thus the Communist International
and the Red International Of Labor
Unions are quite definitely opposed to
the scessionist policy of the o. B. U.
1t is impossible for the miners to
carry out fully the policies of the Red
International by joining the o. B. U.
That can only be done by fighting de-
terminedly to remain within the U.
M. w. of A., and there fighting
against the reactionary and corrupt
officialdom, keeping in this struggle

World Congress Speaks to Canada.
There may be some one who will
argue that the policy of the r. I. l..
U. applies only to Europe, not Canada.
But the world congress just ended
considered carefully and especially
the situation in Canada. 1t adopted
special declaration on the Canadian
problems, of which the following is a
paragraph:
zone of the principal weaknesses Of
the Canadian left wing at the present
time is the impotence Of the rebels,
who, in their impotence to overthrow
reaction, fail to grasp the full import
of the task facing the proletariat of
North America, and overlook the in
evitability of a bitter and protracted
struggle before the mass of the work;
ers are finally brot under the revolu-
tionary leadership. This lack of clear
understanding leads to the short
sighted policy of jumping into dual
unions at every setback and partial
defeat, thereby playing into the hands

No splits in the union-splits serve

Fight against the corrupt and reac-
tionary leaders in the union-but not
run away from the struggle by seces-
sion!
Establish and develop the closest
connection with the revolutionary !
elements thruout the miners union in
Canada and the United States, and

Fight against the employers, against
