TRADE UNION CLASS GROWS

The class in Trade Union Organ
ization and Tactics, G. A. Hathaway
as teacher, the Chicago Workers
School, 10 South Lincoln St., is grow
ing larger and larger. At its last
meeting four new members Joined the
class.
A debate which was held on piece
work vs.. Week-work" was won by
those workers who favored the week
work system. Most of the workers
in the class are garment workers and
are very much opposed to the piece
work system so one can imagine how
much consolation the defenders of
the piece-work system received at
their hands.
The first part of this class is taken
up with an hour and half discussion
on trade union organization and tac-
tics that left-wingers should pursue
in the trades unions.
The second part of the class con-
sists of short talks, and debates on
various live issues that confront the
workers in their unions. The class
is made up of workers from many
trades, among them the garment
workers, the machinists, the typo
graphical and the BARRIERS.
The questions for the next lesson
which will take place Thursday even
ing, Feb. %, at eight o'clock at 10
South Lincoln ST., are as follows:
Review Questions.
/. What are the aims and methods
OF the Socialist" unions?
2. OF the syndicalist unions?
3. OF trade unionism" as repre-
sented by the British and American
Unions?

clusiYely composed of party members.
The task of the fraction is to organ
ize, develop and lead the entire oppo-
sition movement in the union. The
fraction must be the guiding spirit
and brains of the movement against
the reactionary bureaucrats, and the
capitalists.
Utilize immediate Issues.
In this country our task of winning
over the trade unionists is more diff
ficult than in any other country be-
cause the craft union psychology is
very deeply rooted. Therefore the ne
cessity of very cautious tactics for
our work in the trade unions. We
must recognize that the trade union
lists are very far from being Commun-
lists, and approach them upon that
basis.
The point of departure of our work
in the trade unions must be the i'm
mediate issues confronting the work
ers. To them it does not matter how
philosophical you are. You will gain
their confidence if you are active in
the routine business of the union as
we'll as active when there is battle
on against the bosses.
1t is wrong to think that we cannot
unite with elements in the union to
achieve some immediate aim unless
they accept the class struggle or re-
fuse to fight for our full program. In
this country we are at the very be-
ginning of our work in the trade
unions and we must work with the
material at hand. 1t is our task to
develop the trade unionists and help
them to become revolutionary fight
ers.
1t is impossible to conceive that by
means of our propaganda alone that
we will be able to revolutionize the
trade unionists. The objective condi-
tions of capitalism is the greatest fac
tor in this. The workers learn thru
bitter experience, thru actually being
drawn into struggle against the evils
they suffer under-our propaganda
becomes effective when it fits in with
the experiences of the. workers.
Develop Left Wing.
For this reason our work in the
union is not that of propaganda alone,
or even mainly. Our task is the de.
velopment of movement embracing
masses of workers who fight against
the bosses and the bureaucrats who
act as agents of the bosses.

Organization
Meetings
BY TOM BELL.

r Asst August the Communist Inter-
IL national in letter to our party
stated that in an industrial country
like the United States no one could
be a Communist unless they at the
same time also belonged to a labor
union. The fact that the G. E. c. is
now conducting campaign to get all
party members into trade unions
shows the determination of the party
leadership to follow the advice of the
Communist International on this
matter.
AS far back as the second congress
OF the Communist International the
question OF Communists participating
in reactionary trade unions was taken
up and thrashed out. 1t was settled
then that the duty of all Communists
was to be active in the unions. But
so many of our party members have
been engaged in the 'mass work" of
organizing and selling tickets for con-
certs and dances that they have paid
no attention to this fact.
ANY member who is at all devoted
to the party knows that it is imper-
ative to belong to trade union in
order that our party will be able to
conduct the work of winning the or
ganized workers for our party-for
the proletarian revolution.
Given this willingness on the part
of the members it is only a matter of
routine until all our members will be-
long to trade unions
However, this campaign to unionize
the party membership does not mean
that all of a sudden the party leader
ship has become convinced of the
necessity of limiting our activity to
raising the wages and fighting for
better conditions for the workers. In
other words, no concessions are being
made to the backward craft union
theology of the trade unionists of this
country Our task is to destroy the
trade union theology of the organized
workers and to convince and lead
them in the struggle for power.
For this purpose our members in
the trade unions must be organized in
Communist fractions inside the unions
so that they can work in an organized
fashion among the organized workers.
A party fraction in a trade union is
not an open Organization-it is ex-

Workers Communist Party
Our Tasks in the Trade Unions

To carry on this work successfully
not only must we have our party mem.
bers in the unions; they must be or
ganized in fractions within the unions
These fractions cannot function open
ly with any prospect of success be-
cause they are too weak. They must
see to it that around themselves there
is developed thru the T. U. e. L. an
organization of non-party trade union
lists which will be the opposition to
the bureaucrats and the leadership of
the membership against the bosses.
The program of such movement is
not the most important thing-what is
important is the setting of workers
into motion in defense of their class
interests whether they understand the
implications of it or not. In the move
ment, in the struggle will come clarifi-
cation of their ideology.
Work in the trade unions properly
directed will bring us in touch with
the organized part of the working
class, and will finally give us leader
ship over the effective portion of our
class which is the first step toward
our party becoming mass party and
party of the masses.
Coming Struggles.
Everything in the present situation
points to the fact that we are entering
period of sharp attacks on the
standard of living of the working class
aud their unions. The policy of the
A. F. of L. leadership is to meet this
attack by fine phrases about coopera-
tion of capital and labor in eliminat-
ing waste from industry and raising
wages as production increases. This
policy is calculated to aid the capital
lists in their attack against the work
ers. The unions are being turned into
adjuncts to the efficiency departments
of the exploiters.
This menace to the wages and con-
ditions of the organized workers is
the ground upon which we must ap-
proach the workers to rally them for
the protection of their interests. In
leading the workers to fight for better
conditions and wages we do not limit
ourselves to that aim. But thru these
the workers are modified for the
fight for power We must work in
the trade unions to mobilize the men,
bers to make of the trade unions lead.
ing organs of these immediate strug.
giles, and to win the trade unionists
for revolutionary struggles.

This agreement settles for time
