25th, I ind Comrade Foster speaking
thus: II want to state that in general
the resolution is acceptable to the
majority However, there are some
points there we feel should be amend
ed. For example, on page six, the
American text, the last sentence reads
as follows: They feel that the slo.
gan of labor party is the general
conclusion Of all their everyday de-
mands and then the slogan will pos
sess irresistible force.
I'VE propose" continues Comrade
Foster, that this sentence be struck
ont altogether as this sentence will
tend to overstress entirely the role. of
the labor party. We think that 1T is
ACCEPTABLE and that the propa-
cation Of labor party is not going to
work out In that respect Ell
Here we have pilot accepting or
ders and at the same time showing

not consider the order good one that

ALL When Comrade Foster says that
this sentence tends to overstress en-.
tirely the role of the labor party" he
proves that he does not yet under
stand why the propagation of labor
party is an important revolutionary
issue in America. II Comrade Foster
and the majority considers this an
overstressing of the role Of the labor
party then he cannot consider the
labor party an acceptable policy, be-
cause only on account of the labor
party's role as a unifying slogan, driv-
ing home to the workers the political
significance Of the class struggle, is
the labor party policy an important
policy of the American Communist
Party. If the labor party propa
ganda lis not going to work out in
that respect" then the c. l. decision is

THE American proletariat is as yet
L comparatively far removed from
class consciousness: 1t does not yet
exist as an independent factor. 1t
does not yet function as a class. Thus
to all intents and purposes the Amer
lean proletariat is not yet formed as
a class.
In this situation 1t becomes the
task of the Communists to hasten the
birth Of the proletariat as class.
In Analysing the political and eco
nomic situation in the United States
our party must find the best means,
the most adequate slogans and cam
paigns for the accomplishment of this
task
With a convention contemplated, it
became the task of the leadership Of
our organization to analyze the politi-
cal and economic situation in the
country, to give our party the direc-
ton for its future work. 1t is in
these analyses where eventual differ
ences of concept existing in the party
become apparent. Different evalua-
tions Of existing factors naturally lead
to different conclusions and to differ
ent policies.
THE minority of the Central Execu-
L tive Committee, in analyzing the
situation came to the conclusion;
First, that the awakening of the
American proletariat OF political con-
seriousness is the most important i'm
mediate task of our party, and
Second. that labor party slogan
and campaign is the best means to
accomplish it under existing condi-
tons.
The majority of our Central Execu-
tive Cmmittee, on the other hand,
came to different conclusions. 1t de-
MED both of the contentious of the
minority. 1t claimed:
First, that the American working
class is sufficiently class conscious to

selves. A strong defense must be built
up with which to fight; and funds
must be raised for the wives and chill
dren of class war prisoners; for legal
defense and counsel and for affording
some material comfort for the victims
themselves, who, in black holes OF the
jails that capitalism has provided for
the workers, wait and hone for mes
sage from the outside.
The International Labor Defense
has been organized for the great pur-
pose of defending and caring for those
who fall in the first trenches OF the
war between bosses and workers. Its
scope is international and its aim is
to defend class war prisoners every
where no matter what their political
affiliations. In this great work help is
needed Each one must do his bit

accept Communist leadership,
Second, that the American working
class is too backward to accept la:
Dor party, and H NV
Third, that labor party campaign
and slogan would not hasten the ac-
ceptance Of Communist leadership by
the American proletariat, but on the
contrary, would retard it.
This different evaluation Of the sit
uation and the resulting difference in
proposed orientation for our party be-
came the issue before our party. This,
and nothing else. The theses of both
sides proved that; every article pub
lished in the discussion confirms it.
Since the decision, of the Comintern
there has been a consistent effort on
the part of the majority, Of the c. E. G.
to twist the issue. This tactic of our
c. e. G. majority is only manifesto
ton of the lack of Bplshevik qualities
of our party. In a Bolshevik party
either the leadership would have a
sufficient feeling of political RESPONSE
bility to prevent it from beclouding
the most important political issue be-
fore the party, becausecits duty is to
clarity it-or a BolsheMik party would
have a sufficiently clear membership
to sweep from positions of leadership
any comrade who would dare, for the
sake of retaining his position, to be-
cloud issues instead of clarifying
them. r SCI ~
THE majority Of the Central Execu-
l tive Committee is trying to make
the party believe that the issue was
not whether labor party but what
kind of labor party. A cool con-
sideration of the circumstances under
which the controversy developed, will
prove the falseness of that claim. The
question of what kind of labor party
would naturally develop first of all in
a situation where the party is con-
fronted with a capitalization of la

(Worker correspondent.l

SUBMISSION, w. Va, Aug. 90
From what l see around here in West
Virginia it looks like the coal miners
strike will be lost unless John l..
Lewis calls general strike on Sept
LIST. l personally know that if the
hard coal fields are settled Lewis will
not call the general strike.
Should Call General Strike.
l will say this much: Again us poor
miners are waiting for the first OF
September only. If it's a general
strike it is o. K, and if not all OF
us are returning to work. We have
struck better than six months. dc
hope that Lewis calls a general strike
Must Stop Hauling sesb Coal
I was talking to railroader the
other day, and the question of a rail
road strike was brot up He told me
that the laws of the Unitetl States
forbid them from afflliatins, with. the
A. F. of L., as the coal miner did
and that they could not pull a strike
as we did, and that they had to, look
out for the people in the large cities
He said that if they came out on
strike for one week, that thousands OF
little children would starve l think
it would be better for few to starve
now than for the whole United States
to starve the rest of their lives. And
they would not have to strike to helI
us out. All they would have to dc
would be stop hauling scab coal.

wrong; then the minority is wrong
and the majority is right. But since
the majority, thru Comrade Fosters
mouth, accepted the decision of the
iComintern as correct it must also ac-
cept the premise upon which the de-
cision was made, namely, that the
labor party slogan tends to aceonnP-
lish the task Of awakening the proIe-
tarIan masses in America to political
consciousness.
The Comintern did not make its de-
cision acceptable to the majority. 1t
refused to concede to Comrade Eos
ter's demands
ONCE our majority refuses to &C
~ cept the premises of the Comm
tern its protestations of acceptance of
the C. /. decision are meaningless.
Especially meaningless do these pro-
testations become when they are made
as bid for leadership. Leadership
does not only presuppose the accept
ance of orders but demands also an
understanding of the orders and a
thoro agreement with them. Our ma
jority has proven beyond doubt that
it has neither the understanding nor
is it in agreement with the labor party
policy 9s
The majority is conscious of this
shortcoming and therefore adopted
the policy of switching the discus
sion from the real issue. This tactic
is neither Bolshevik nor is it conduc-
i've. to the development of Bolshevism
in our party. Instead of driving home
to the members an understanding of
the general political orientation Of our
party it deliberately blocks such UNI
Outstanding and elevates the raising
of fake issues to a political principle.
If our party was ever confronted with
he dangers of any fake" it is the
danger Of fake issues raised by lead
rship which was caught in the act OF
nisdirecting the party.

and the result is his earnings are pro-
portionately cut down4s
In fact, the commission, referring to
this situation, states that the miners,
with few exceptions, earn from $500
to $1,000 against a cost Of living es-
timated at $4,000, andlqa careful read
ing of their report leads one to some
very, very definite conclusions as to
the steps to be taken to solve the
coal problem. -

ance, lights, explosives, keep up their
tools, ETC., ETC., there is very little
left to feed a family.
The miners in the anthracite do not
average $25 per week the year round.
Most of the miners are burdened with
large families. Considering the high
cost of living anyone can easily see
the condition of the hard coal slaves
The coal commission also reports
that forty-nine per cent of the miners
earned around one hundred dollars
per month.
Found Miners Families lifted.
Further on in their report, they
state that they investigated five hun
dred and fifty-five miners homes,
where earnings were low, and they
found that the food consumed did
not confrom in variety to the stand
ards set by experts as essential for
healthful living.
Why was the coal commissions re.
port buried by the coal operators
and why has the fake leaders of the
miners refused to carry on a cam
paign to have it published and broad
casted?
The commission clearly pointed out
that living conditions at the mines
were terrible, and recommended that
the following improvements be in
