movement for 80 years and of all my
other comrades with putting out the
years in the different branches of the

best and most class-conscious paper
the workers have ever had in this
country.
Sincerely regret that / cannot do
more for it, but am nearing go and

Los Angeles chamber OF commerce.
Am personally acquainted with Bill

great loss.

THE list of the methods by which
4 corporations are endeaYoring to
make unionization OF their plants inn
possible is a long one but all of them
have the same motive--to tie the
worker to the company by convinc-
ing him that no union is necessary
to protect his interests, that his in
terests are the same as those of the
capitalist and that American indus
try is run by zone big family" Actu-
ally the capitalists oppose the one
big family idea to that Of one big
union.
pECENTLY the United States Steel
~ company, on the occasion of Its
twenty-flfth anniversary, published a
magnificent example of the art of the
printer and engraver, whose cost
must have been far up in the thous-
ands, devoted to picturizing the "wel-
fare" activities of the company.
An examination of this work shows
that thees activities range from stick
selling schemes to the workers to
the organization of athletic associa-
tions and housing programs.

There are plenty Of instances show

only one or two illustrations of the

go in for housing due to obvious rea-

The increase in group insurance
the policy of insuring blocs of work
ers by corporations against loss OF
wages during illness and injury, and
the extension of this to provide in
surance for dependents, is another
method of drawing the workers closer
to the capitalists.
Old age pension systems show a
rapid increase as we'll.
A BRAHAM EPSTEIN (from whose
\ article on the Industrial welfare
movement have qdoted before) says
in connection with corporation enter
prises;
Only 15 years AGO group life In
surance (by corporatIons) y. was
hardly known. In 1912 the total
amount Of insurance written under
these policies amounted to $t3,172,-
1913. In 1917 the total group insur-
ance in force was Sa46, ,525,472
At the end OF 1924, 81 Insurance

Party" Nobody with ordinary COM
mon sense can deny that the extreme
right is represented in our party by
group OF the one-time Workers Op'
position. for It is impossible to imag-
inc more extreme right in the
sphere OF International revolutionary
politics than standpoint in favor OF
the liquidation OF the Comintern, a
standpoint which names the West Eu-
ropean Communist. parties "rabble
Of petty bourgeois lackeys" living "on
Russian gold" which demands the
liquidation of the Red international Of
Labor Unions, the abandonment OF
our socialist industry to foreign cap
ital, etc This standpoint inclines fur
ther to the right than any other in
our party, strictly speaking, II is ideo-
logically already quite outside OF our
party And we must never forget that
the present opposition, which repre-
sents a block comprising various op-
positional currents, includes as one
constituent the group around Com
rade Medvedyev. The opposition has
given us no sensible reply to our re-
peated requests to turn aside from the
Medvedyev standpoint, at least at the
plenum OF the G. c., and join hands

1t is estimated that the total num-
Der of workers covered by this form
of insurance amounted to $500, 900 in
1925 and there has been a rapid in
crease since that time.
Old age pensions come in for a
good deal of attention. They repre-
sent an appeal to that fear of pow
erty and dependence in old age which
obsesses every worker. There can be
no question but that the fear of los
ing old age pensions and the bene-
fits Of insurance for illness and acci-
dent acts at present as strong brake
in preventing the development of or
ganization and strikes.
T QUOTE again:
l. In the establishment Of old age
pensions also, study just COM
peted by the writer Of $40 formal
pension schemes discIoses the fact
that, tho before 1900 there were but
FOUR such systems, and only 1876
additional plans were started up

been added since =. Moreover,
200 concerns reported that, tho
they had adopted no formal

tanning of the idea OF two parties has

taken by the opposition on the free

one step on the road TO this idea,

Of the justification OF a split in the

This is In our opinion the fourth
fundamental problem dealt with at

that the opposition has here too wan
