delegation to Soviet Russia, Gottlieb
Kment, declared in an interview that
the journey to the Soviet Union was
undertaken with view to bringing
pressure to bear upon the Czech gov

the delegation is to establish united
front Of all workers internationally.
After describing the unsuccessful
attempts of the social democracy to
prevent the journey of the delegation

his conviction that the return OF the
delegation to Czech-Slovakia would
strengthen those in favor of de jure
recognition of the Soviet Union.

raLOfy element from Whlcn IL draws
it's strength, an element which has
furnished the l. w. w. and other
evolutionary organizations some of
the best leaders. But granted that
the l. W. w. draws its strength from
the migratory element, it must be adj
mitted that it has drawn it's weak
ness also from the same element.
While it is wrong to condemn the
whole for the fault of the part, and
the A. W. l. U. has been for vigilant
stock-taking of the theories which
sway it, we are convinced that if
traditional theories are examined OBJ
jectively, and if the A. w. I. U. resell
utely combats policies which ignore
or are hostile to Revolutionary indus
trial unionism, the condemnation now
directed against the A. w. l. U. will
vanish.
WTHAT are these faults and where
w are their sources? Unquestion-
ably, they do come from certain types
of the weak side of the migratory
working class. There are all kinds of
migratories, and while the weaker
element may not understand the
stronger and healthier elements, the
best type of migratory should recogn-
ize and analyze-the types around him.
He should make sure that-although
all elements should and must remain
within the union-the theology of the
slum proletarian and the jungle buzz
card, however disguised and made in
o theories and programs by able
demagogues who play to sentiment
and prejudice of this backward ele-
ment, will be fought persistently and
conquered as a controlling force in
the union.
If real analysis is made, it will be
found that some of the theories which
sway the union are easily traced back
from the finespun and beautifully
perfect utopias of the noisy but false
leaders, to their source in the men,
tality of the most backward and I'M
healthy elements drawn into the un-
ion. These elements lack everything
but words They lack any desire to
advance the collective interests of the
union membership as a whole. They
are unwilling to sacrifice for move
ment. They are selfish; and they raj
ly to support any glib misleader who
can make their selfshness look like a
philosophy.
This element is inherently individu-
alistic, and when individualism, which
is social philosophy of the petty
bourgeoisie, is painted over with revo-
lutionary phrases, we have the sort
of anarchism which is affecting the
|. w. w. The union which accepts
this disguised individuaiism, is accept

revolutionary industrial unionism, and
which permeates an organization,

leaders may come and go, but leading
groups with Constructive policies are
the brains of organization. But all
must win leadership-not by intrigue
and demagogy-b by standing open

carrying them out. To try to organize
masses of backward workers, and at
the same time to undermine their sim
pie faith in the union by constant in

American workers are still fighting
the class war and require perfect CO.
ordination and central direction. Local
autonomy with no power and no funds
for the center is an anarchist ideal.
But it's logical end is no union.
Against such we propose democratic
Capitalization, based upon job COM
mittees or sectional branches, each
higher body elected by lower body
and subject to it's recall, but the sub
ordinate body to- carry out orders
without question so long as orders are
issued by those whom it elects. This
covers also the matter of discipline,
which must be organizational, not
theological, as union must admit
workers of all opinions.
@ The A. w. l. U. has no monopoly
on sectarianism, the whole l. w. w.
being permeated with it. With the A.
w. l. U. it takes the form of a utopian
concept that we are so much better
rebels than the scissor bills and home
guards that we not only scorn their
ideas, but we will not try to organize
them for fear they would pollute the
union with their numbers. If we do
away with the crazy opposition to
leadership. and keep an expersienced
and worthy group, this so-called
danger of dilution would not exist. Be
sides, what kind of union is it that
does not pretend to be based on skill,
| yet refuses to base it's power on num-
| bers? If you confine an organization
to those of certain opinions, you are
political party, not union.
THIS is the sectarian phase of the
\ |. w. w. as a whole, particularly
the small industrial unions, which
are persisted in by mistaken fellow
workers who think they can break up
existing mass organizations by alb
stract educational propaganda about
the future society, failing to recogn-
ize that the revolutionist must never
destroy mass organization, but en-
ter it and remain in it to teach the
backward workers by example and by
practical leadership that after they
win immediate demands they must go
on to revolution.
This sectarian theory has led the 1.

revolutionary elements in the trade
unions and in the labor movement of
