workers who were endeavoring 60
establish a workers government and
to abolish capitalism. Your Party is
now affiliated with the Second Inter
national-the International of Schei-
deman and Noske. The threat of the
Macdonald government In Great Brit
ain to use the Lloyd George govern
ment emergency act against the work
ers, the recent vote of the Socialists
to give the king of Belgium dictator
ial powers, are actions of a similar
character. These are but a few of
a large number of examples which go
to prove that in a period of revolu-
tionary struggle the Socialist leaders
have aligned themselves on the side
OF the capitalist class. We did not
raise this question in proposing the
united front conference to you but
since you have raised it we must
openly declare the facts. II it is
your contention that the Socialist
Party in California is in earnest in
the struggle against the capitalist
class, then you should endeavor to
show this to the workers Of California
by joining in a united front struggle
in the interests of the workers of the
state.
We do not know why you raise the
question of the authority of the dis
trict committee OF the Workers
(Communist) Party to speak on the
question of -the united front confer
ence. We can only answer that in
proposing such united front confer
ence to fight for the workers and
farmers interests we are following
the policy not only of the Workers
(Communist) Party in the United
States but the policy of the Commu.
mist International which advocates n
united front of all workers against
the capitalists.
1t may be that your raise this ques-
tion because your national convention
has rejected such united front. If
this is the reason we trust you will
have the courage, if you finally are
earnest in the desire to fight for the
workers interests, to join in such a
united front in spite of the action of
your national convention.
In conclusion we urge that you ap-
point a committee TO meet with a
committee of the Workers (Commu-
hist) Party who will jointly make the
call for the United Front conference.
We request that the State Executive
Committee rely to this communica-
tion within ten days.

The Letter from the Socialists

To the Members and the Executive
Committee of District 13 Of The
Workers (Communigt) Party.
Greeting;
The State Executive Committee Of
the Socialist Party of California
acknowledges the receipt of letter
from Emanuel Levin as Organizer of
your District organization and of a
letter apparently sent 20 our party To-
Gals by The Workers (Communist)
District Committee proposing that we
Issue jointly a call to all labor unions
and workers fraternal organizations
for the purpose of placing into the
field a united labor ticket"
Such united labor ticket" could
be placed upon the ballot in only three
ways: as independent" candidates, as
candidates Of new party, or as can
dtdates OF the Socialist Party.
First, as independent" candidates
It would require the signatures of over
$4,000 registered voters to place each
nomination on the ballot, it would give
the United Labor Party no right to
any designation on the ballot but In
dependent; and # would secure no
future right to a place on the ballot.
The Socialist Party could not legally
have independent" candidates on its
ballot so it would lose its present 20
litical rights by not having the neces-
sary candidate to poll the 3 per cent
of the gubernatorial vote required to
retain its standing as an officially
recognized political party. Such a
course would only result in depriving
the working class OF any political
party with right to place. on the Of
fetal ballot We cannot consent to
such action
The second possible way Of nomin-
'ating United Labor ticket as candi-
dates of new political party would
require a petition of over 10000 vot-
ers registered as affiliated with the
new party. This petition would have
90 be filed with the Secretary of
State by June 18th. Since your let
ter was dated June 26th 1t is mani
festly impossible TO file as a new
party. We must therefore reject the
second possible course Of action as
impossible at this late date.
The third course Is for the United
Labor ticket to be named upon the
official Socialist ballot at the primary
election. A State conference Of the
Socialist Party held last February
chose Upton Sinclair as our candi-
date for Governor and Lena Morrow
Lewis as our candidate for Lieuten-
ant Governor. It also requested Wal
ter Thomas Mills TO run for United
States Senator. We are already cir
culating petitions to place these
names on the primary ballot. We en-
close our state platform, which Gov
ers most Of the Immediate demands"
or palliative measures suggested by
your letter. We have no power at
this time 70 withdraw nominations
made by the State conference.
Neither Is there any time to hold
referendum OF the party membership,
as nominating petitions must be fled
by July 22nd.
Tho most VIC can do at this time,
therefore, is 70 consider accepting
nominations for those Offices for
which we have thus far made no NOM
nations. Persons so nominated would
have 10 register before July 22nd as
ahliated with the Socialist Party.
So much for the purely technical
5ido Ola united labor ticket. Other
points are raised by political and
actical considerations

ers in place of its present policies
which are class collaboration and ne
glect of the unorganized workers.
These policies stand for stronger,
more powerful organized labor move
ment and not for the destruction Of
the American Federation of Labor.
We ask whether the Socialist Party
is opposed to these proposals2
"IMMED EDIATE DEMANDS"
w have made clear thru discussing
the question of the differences in pro-
gram of the Socialist Party and the
Workers (Communist) Party why we
are opposed to certain forms of i'm
mediate demands. The left wing of
the Socialist Party opposed these de-
mands in 1919 and the Workers (Com-
munisD Party opposes them today.
The Workers (Communist) Party
does not and will not support immedi-
ate demands which create the illus
ion in the minds of the workers that
Socialism can be established thru step
by step legislation. Opposition to i'm
mediate demands which create the il
lusion that capitalism can be reformed
into Socialism is something different
from support of the struggle of the
workers for their immediate interests
and for measures which weaken the
power of the capitalists and strength
en- the workers.
The fight against the Criminal Syn
dicalist law, the fight against injunc-
tions, anti-picketing laws, the fight
for better wages and working condi-
tions for the Mexican and Negro
workers and the lumber workers of
the state are not partial demands
which look to the reforming of cap
italism into Socialism. These are
measures in the immediate interest of
the workers which the workers en-
deavor to wrest from the capitalist
class and the capitalist government.
1t is to organize the power of the
workers and farmers in support of
these demands that we are proposing
a united front conference. We de-
clare further that it is in the process
of the struggle for such immediate in
terests that stke workers will learn
the nature of the class struggle and
the need Of revolutionary action
against the capitalist class and the
capitalist government.
