cars in which they and their families
and friends travel around the country

the first qualification for a Fighting
leadership. r0 Nus
THERE is no question that by max
i ing few alterations in their pro-
gram-abandoning, for instance, the
shop delegate system-by softening
the criticism of the machine and in
general showing a willingness ito go
along" as the takers phrase it, the
left wing could have secured at least
half and probably a majority of the
Offices. This was not done and in
itself is proof to the membership that
the left wing is not engaged in mere
struggle for office, that it places pro-
gram first and office second.
In a labor movement where insur-
gent movements have followed one
another into disgraceful oblivion thru
the betrayal of the rank and file by
leaders bribed by the bureahcfats, the
Importance of this cannot be over
estimated.
The l. L. G. w. left wing fights for
control of the union but not for a few
leaders-it fights for the control of
the union by the membership commit
ted to q class struggle program.
The left wing was tested in Phila-
dclphia. It met the test. 1t rejected
the brides offered by the machine, it
continued it's struggle and because the
membership was able, by contrasting
program and method of left and right
to see the left wing as the unifying
force in the union, the left wing
broadened it's base, strengthened its
ability and willingness to struggle,
learned that wrong policy and tao
tics .ieacts disastrously and left the
convention to continue the fight for
the interests of the membership-not
to rest on its laurels.
Immediate Problems.
