Had the Sigman machine been less

Rational concessions, it is extremely

plete control of the machine.
IF the left wing in the l. L. G. W. u.
4 did not have in it many Commun-
lists who attempt to overcome and ex-
plain mistakes Of this kind, and ifNthe
Sigman machine had not been too
stupid to fail to capitalize funda-
mental error of this sort, the left
wing might easily nave split on this
issue.
Another error was made by the left
wing on the closing day of the con-
vention during the elections, which
confirms all criticism made of GER
tain right wing tendencies, but which
need not be gone into in detail here. 1t
showed, however, in very bald
form, the remnants of confused idea
Of the role of right wing leadership
in the unions.
TN addition to the one outstanding
error in the election of officers men,
toned above, it was also apparent
that the left wing had forgotten, when
it came to nominations, its real func-
ton as the organizer and leader OF
the masses of the membership around
common program of struggle. 1t
tailed, when making its nominations,
to take advantage of this last oppor-
tunity in the convention to put for
ward it's program and make clear
that its candidates were supported
for office, not because of good fellow
ship, but because they endorsed and
would fight for the interests of the
membership as expressed in the de-
mands of the left wing contained in
it's resolutions.
One of the important reasons for
this failure was the fact that the
recent crisis was still uppermost in
the minds of the left wing.
1t had paid too high price for it's
organizational concessions.

way that the banker would unbend
to speak to them. Now the Taipan,
the banker, is in uniform, and on

and the COB, pulls his wise cracks,

carried out split The reasons for
this tempting of fate are to be found
in the confused conception of the role
of the left wing in the present stage
of the American labor movement, an
over-estimation of the strength of the
I. L. G. w. U. left wing, an over
estimation of the political develop
ment of the rest of the labor move
ment coupled with remnants of con-
fidence in the desire of the Sigman
machine to preserve the union intact.
The split tactic of the left wing
was entirely one-sided. 1t staked
everything on the belief that the Sig
man machine would make concessions
rather than see the union split and the
feet that certain concessions were
made and no split occurred no more
proves the correctness of this belief
than the foresight of a gambler is
proved when he wins on red because
black did not turn up.
WHAT would the left wing have
w done if the Sigmanites had not
made concessions?
1t must be remembered, in seeking
an answer to this question that the
left wing had followed effectively
splitting tactics all thru the conven-
ton, but splitting tactics which were
the result of a wrong conception of
the role of the bureaucracy as the
real agents of the bosses in the union
"a split tactic which was supposed
to bring pressure upon the bureaucrats
by reason of their fear of split when
they themselves had been trying to
split the union for two years. The
walkout was a reaction to the provo
cative tactics of the machine-an ex-
tension into the convention of the
same tactics which were expressed in
the expulsion policy.
In other words, the left wing, after
fighting for nineteen months for the

right to belong to and work inside
he union for the left wing program,
ollowed a policy which tended to
place its followers outside the union
by their own act. h-
Lad the Sigman machine made no
IL concessions whatever, the left
wing would have been compelled (by
reason of the fact that no way for
retreat had been prepared) to either
submit under most humiliating circum-
stances and come back to the couven-
ton with its morale badly shaken and
its followers demoralized, or to carry
out the split and engage in struggle
in which it could not hope to win at
this time for reasons given above.
The left wing was able to avoid
the continuation of the split and in
this sense the Sigman machine suffer
ed defeat.
But the consequences for the left
wing for the balance OF the conven-
ton were very bad. It's militancy de-
clined in marked degree and it made
certain errors for which shaken
morale, due to its mistake, was respon-
sible. OrganizationaI victory achieved
by following a wrong policy is bound
to have such an effect and altho the
left wing had been given organiza-
tional concessionsaft had lost prestige.
1t evidently felte this and so when
the question of proportional represent
alton to joint boards came up again
the left wing accepted, with only a
formal protest, a proposition which
gave the New York left wing locals
proportional representation at the
expense of the left wing in the other
garment centers such as Cleveland,
Boston, Chicago and Philadelphia. To
be exact, the left wing gained its

men, not knowing just where the

and thru a line of about thirty Chin

These Chinese soldiers tried to stop

Chinese was promptly knocked down
by the truculent COB in the lead. The

their rifles to the ready. and the gobs,

Consequences.
THE refusal of the Sigman machine
4 to accept the provisions of the
peace agreement granting proper
tional representation to joint boards,
following its use of police to clear
the convention hall and other methods
of provocation, was clearly an attempt
to force a secession movement for
which blame could be placed on the
left wing.
In this the machine almost succeed
ed. After Sigman had announced that
no charge in representation would
be made, in reply to protests from the
left, he actually invited the left wing,
if not satisfied with the committee
ruling, to leave the convention.
THE left wing, following the lead of
Hyman, who said he would take
his hat and coat and go home" left
the hall in body.
The continued use Of split tactics by
both the right and left, had resulted
in an actual split.
Only the discipline of the left wing,
and cooler consideration of the dis
astrous results of such a policy,
brought the left wing delegation back
into the convention next morning
and liquidated the crisis-a crisis
which could not have been confined
to the l. L. G. W. which inevitably
would have involved the left wing in
the whole American labor movement.
