These questions, according to the
report of the c. e. c., are not the real

majority, then it is certain that there
will be no peace, harmony, or unity.
The left wing wants unity based up
on progressive program Of action.
AS for peace and harmony. the left
wing does not expect to achieve that
now; it would be only the peace and
harmony of the grave. A live, fight
ing organization cannot be peaceful
and harmonious in these days: there
are differences Of opinion which must
be fought out.
Unity Is a different matter; that
can be attained But II must be a
unity OF the workers. a unity within
the ranks of labor. on the basis of
struggle against the employers for
the interests OF the workers. That
is the unity that is being fought for

crush the left wing in this convention
he is taking on quite job. Gompers
attended the Boston convention; but
he had nothing to do except to con-
graduate the Sigman machine on its
noble work" of xexpelling the left
wing delegates. And the very men
and women who were expelled from
the Boston convention are the ones
who are leading the fight of the left
wing in this Philadelphia convention.
Today the slogan of the machine,
on the floor of the convention. is harm

at last peace had been attained. That
was the cry OF the victor Of the mo-
ment who, thru ruthless methods. had
won a very temporary victory, but the

Boston turned into struggle and chaos.
That was because IL was based open a

wing has stood solid; on the other
hand, the Sigman machine broke its
ranks on the question of seating Dele
gate Rea of Local 3S, New York City.
This was public demonstration of
the fact, known before, that the ma
chine has no solidarity within itself.
The credentials committee report,
which was against seating Delegate
Rea. was defeated by vote of Ill to
II. This is not decisive for the con-
vention, of course, nor is it of great
Importance in itself, but it shows the
instability Of the Sigman machine
forces.
The left wing asks no aid or favors.
But the Sigman forces are depending
a great deal upon the expected rein
forcements, when William Green, pre-
sident OF the A. f. Of l.. will, at the

1t is very interesting to study the
maneuvering of the reactionary off,
cialdom in the Philadelphia conven-
ton Of the International Ladies' Gar
ment Workers Union. The Sigman
machine is quite desperate, in spite Of
it's majority in the convention; that
is because it is a paper majority, and
a very shaky one; it is not sure that
1t will be able to survive the crucial
tests.
The left wing, with a minority OF
the delegates approximately liz out
OF 265 totaD, actually represents 20
per cent OF the total membership. It
Is minority with a great deal OF

that is lowering over them. From

The farmers are being vlctimized
by the system the same as the work
ers. Both groups in the United
States are two indispensable fac
tors in production. The farmers
furnish the raw material and the
industrial workers in the packing
houses, factories and mills and on
the railroads prepare it for the con-
sumner. In the whole process the
agricultural workers and the indus
trial workers contribute their labor
power, the result of which Is to pile
up more wealth for the capitalist
class.

Apresident, who is merely a meg
