Fosters Reply To Nearing

say that radical sentiment must be
created by education, while we add to
this that above all it must be develop
ed out of the existing mass discomfort.
Your conception that the conscious
elements are the only revolutionary
force leads straight to the isolation of
our movement and to it's degenera-
ton into studious, sterile, clustered
Communist sect. The w. P. and T.
U. E. L. conception, in direct contra
diction to yours, makes inevitably for
a broad mass movement of revolt and
for an increasing participation in the
overwhelming, ever-deepening class
struggle; it makes for a real fighting
Communist movement.

mand, all attempts at fundamental i'm
provement, which attempts almost al
ways disturb the leaders friendly re-
lations with the employers or their
control over the unions.
THIS struggle between the rank and
] file and the leaders of the trade
unions is now at most critical stage.
Innumerable instances of it might be
cited, taken from every union in the
country. Whoever does not perceive
it knows nothing of the real forces
at work in the labor movement.
CTRANGELY enough, practically all
- the incidents cited by you to show
the consent" of the rank and file to
the acts of their leaders are, when

y
& eral case that there is no real mass
revolutionary discomfort in this coun-
try, you make the rash assertion that
the rank and file of the unions are as
reactionary as their leaders. You even
go so far as to say that Gompers is
probably to the left of the general
mass of unionists. Then, to support
this broad contention, you cite the
indifference of the organized masses
at the expulsion Of VIM. r. Dunno, the
rejection of amalgamation and labor
party, and the reputation of Soviet
Russia at the A. F. of L. convention,
as well as the continued Imprisonment
Of Mooney, Sacco and Vanzetti, the
discrediting of Alex Howat, the ex-
pulsion of left-wing militants in the
needle trades, and various other out
RACES by trade union officials and CAPT
talists. You claim that the views of
the leaders on these matters are shar-
ed by the rank and file because both
have gone to the capitalist schools,
they read the capitalist papers, belong
to the churches, vote the old party
'tickets-in short, the rank and file
have been taken into the camp by
the enemy" just as much as their
leaders have.
OUCH contention, especially COM
- ing from one undertaking to use
the MARKHAM method of analysis, is in
excusably erroneous. 1t runs counter
to the truth on every side. The fact
is the rank and file of the unions are
far and away more radical than their
leaders. And naturally so, for their
economic position compels them to be.
The trade union leaders are actually
and ideologically part of the petty
bourgeoisie. Iney draw large salaries;
they live the life of the middle class;
they are tied by a thousand and one
ailments to the employers themselves;
hey have only a secondary interest
in the struggle between the workers
and exploiters; they feel no urgent
and immediate interest in the build
ing and militant utilization of the
workers organizations; they are con-
tent to let well enough alone, so long
as their own economic position, as ex-
pressed thru the regular receipt of
their salaries, is assured. Like the
rest of the petty bourgeoisie, they are
active defenders of capitalism.
I'm the other hand, the workers are
~ engaged in a direct struggle
against the employers. For them the
most vital consequences depend upon
a successful prosecution. Despite their
capitalistic training thru the newspa-
pers, churches, political parties, etc.
(Which it would be idle to deny they
almost instinctively rally to the sup
port of practical movements making
for the strengthening-numerically
structurally, ideologically-o their po-
litical and industrial organizations.
The tremendous spread of the ANAL
gamation movement is proof Of that.
Between the petty bourgeoisie lead
ers and the working class rank and
file, struggle goes on constantly over
the revolutionizing of the labor move
ment, with the leaders desperately re-
sisting by every means at their COM

of the greater degree of radicalism
among the actual workers in the
shops. Consider the Portland conven-
ton of the A. F. of L.-what express
sion did the rank and file get there?
Practically none. That was almost
entirely a gathering of officials. Fully
$50 of them violated their instructions
when they voted against amalgama
ton, the labor party, and recognition
of Soviet RUSSIA fragrant but typ
ical case of official suppression of rank
and file radicalism. Or consider the
case of Tom Mooney-have not the
rank and file surged again and again,
with their limited means of express
sion, in his behalf. And have not the
leaders always broken up their move
ments of protest? The same is true of
the Sacco-Vanzetti case. And in the
case of the International Ladies' Gar
ment Workers; if the left-wing had
demanded such support the rank and
file would have split that organization
in two.
DUT let US conclude with the Howat
- case. How you can get any COM
fort out of that for your theory is a
mystery. 1t is one of the most fragrant
cases on record of violent rank and
file suppression by a reactionary Of
ficialdom controlling the organization
machinery. At the recent Miners
Convention, Lewis did not dare to give
the rank and file a chance to express
themselves on the matter, so, like
trade union leaders generally, in hand
ling radical movements, he used the
full power of the organization to
crush the Howat movement, arbitrari-
ly adjourning the convention to pre-
vent fair vote being taken. Fully
two-thirds Of the delegates were in
open protest but could do nothing.
Then, because the rank and file have
no effective means to counterfeit such
outrages by their officials, you con-
clude that they acquiesce in them.
Such conclusions, which are typical of
many in your letter, completely in
validate your analysis Of the situation.
2 Following logically upon your con-
VI tentions that there is no mass
revolutionary sentiment in America
and that the rank and file of the labor
movement are as deeply reactionary
as their leaders, you condemn the w.
P. and 7. U. E. L. policy of maneuver-
ing the masses on large scale as is
expressed in our various campaigns
Your objections would seem to fall
under two general heads (a) that we
waste our strength because the nom
revolutionary masses are unprepared
to accept our program, and, (b) that
we demoralize our own forces by car
rying on maneuvers too complicated
for them to follow. Now let us see
what there is to these contentious.
THE mistake you make in this mat
| ter is to tacitly assume that the
left-wing movement is going to the
masses with a program so advanced
that they cannot understand or accept
it, and that therefore we cannot en-
list them under our leadership. This
would be true IL we were to confine
ourselves simply to the advocacy Of
