Main Tasks of the Party in
the Trade Unions.
THE main tasks Of the Party in the

THE main tasks Of the Party in the
4 trade unions are:
1. The revolutionizing of the exist
ing unions thru strengthening and or.
ganizing the left-wing in the unions
by bringing all the proletarian ele'
ments Of the Party into the unions, by
the organization OF trade union frac.
tions, the building up of the T. U. E
L. and the stimulation of the organ
ization Of the progressive opposition
bloc.
2. The organization of the unor.
ganized by the strengthening of the
existing organizations, the creation OF
new unions in industries where none
exist. the building Of shop committees
and the utilization of the shop nuclei
as points for inaugurating campaigns
to organize the unorganized.
3. The unitication of the trade
union movement by the stimulation of
the campaign to amalgamate the craft
unions into industrial organizations.

in the last two years thru the Labor
Party splits (which were forced by the
weakness and treachery Of the prog
gressive leadership, and thru the
growth and development OF the LaFol-
lette movement, which the left-wing
sharply opposed In the bitter fight
that has gone ON between the bureau
cracy and the left-wing, the progress
sives in the middle have become de-
moralized and disorganized and have
to considerable extent fallen under
the control Of the reactionary bureau
tracy The rank and file of the I'M
ions have lost much In morale by the
many defeats in strikes and by the
poisonous campaigns of class collabo-
ration constantly carried on by the Of
ficialdom of the unions. But among
them there is a smoldering discomfort,
and wherever the left-wing can break
thru the opposition of the bureaucracy
and crystalline this discomfort into
definite movements, the masses rally
in bitter struggles against their mis-.
leaders and against the employers d.
rectly. In the Carpenters Union cleo
ton, the T. U. Il. l.. militants developed
powerful opposition to the Hutche-
son machine. Likewise in the Ma
chinists Union against the Johnston
administration. The election in the
Miners Union, where Voyzey polled
$4,000 against Lewis $4,000, accord
ing to the official figures lin truth he
was in all probability elected) was an
other demonstration Of mass support
to left-wing leadership. The latest
manifestations of the left-wing's sue
cessful rallying Of the masses against
the bureaucratic officialdom in spite
OF a maze of difficulties. is the present
upheaval in the needle trades unions.

ATLANTIC CITY, N. j., July "a
With national hard coal strike
threatened for September I, and with
both operators and miners union off,
cials apparently deadlocked. Talk of
federal Intervention came to the fore
front again today.
Operators and miners representati-
yes gathered here this morning to re-
sumo their joint committee corner
ence, but surface indications were
that there was little prospect Of break
ing the deadlock. 1t is understood,
however, that President Coolidge is
ssisisleiined 10 Interfere at once, baine
willing to break the strike, however,
if the operators are not strong enough
to defeat the miners.
John L. Lewis, international presi.
dent of the United Mine Workers OF
America, was to re-submit their de-
mand for a small wage increase and
the check-off system.

German Miners Under League Rebel
The miners in the Saar Basin are
making common cause with the
French miners in demanding that
their wages. paid in fast depreciating
French francs, be revised to accord
with the continually climbing cost Of
living. The Saar Basin is under the
government Of the league of nations
and has an area Of TAI squares miles
and population of $4,000.
The strike of the French miners in
the Word and Pas de Calais, originally
scheduled for Monday night, was post
poned by the National Federation Of
Miners, while representatives confer
with the ministry of labor.
Conference Wednesday
The main hope of British capitalism
to avert the strike of the British
miners lies in the conference due 70
morrow between the owners and
miners at the instance of the govern
ment, Premier Baldwin having~nnally
decided to intervene to stop the strike

1t is understood that the mine own

previous determination to cancel the
agreement on August in their effort
to force wage cut and longer hours

. State of the Progressive Bloc. In
u the trade unions there are many
elements, so-called progressives, who
are not advanced enough ideologcially
to join directly to our Party or the
Trade Union Educational League.
These are the elements out Of which
shall be constructed the progressive"
opposition bloc against the ultra-re-
dictionaries now controlling the bulk
of the unions. At the present time
these progressive elements are with
out definite leadership, organizations
and policies. In 1922, the organiza-
ton of the Trade Union Committee
for the Relief of the Russian Famine
was an expression Of this tendency, in
the face OF Gompers' opposition. In
the A. r. Of l.. convention they also
secured a degree Of organization in
1924 around the slogan of the Rec
ognition of Soviet Russia and in the
Trade Union Committee for the Els
Establishment of Trade Relations With

WASHINGTON, July 2s.-The de-

analysis Of the income of the farm

starts out by saying that the gross
income ~ ther year ending june so.
1925 was nearly billion dollars
larger than in the previous year and
the net income was something like
$725, 100000 Iarger.s

report the analysist gets down to
cases and shows what the net result
Ito the individual farmer amounts to.
THE average net income per oper-
ator, including all farmers, amounted
to only 1915 in 1924-25, compared
with 1854 the preceding year, and
covers returns on the farmers equity
