The comparison of the necessities of the struggle in Great Brit

weakness of the latter.

Attempts to justify such huge pay

corporations are retaining enough in
undivided or surplus profits to provide
for all necessary expansion OF the
country's plant. AS a result there is
an admitted surplus OF capital looking
for investment and the investment
bankers are working overtime to pro-
vide enough new securities for the

the employing class" Again l ask for
an example. What union has been
wrecked by the Communists? The Fur
Workers in New York have been re-
juvenated by the Communists, the
Communists have won victory
against colossal reaction in the Inter
national Ladies Garment Workers
Union, but | know of no case where
the Communists have wrecked a
union.
You say that IF the unions expel
Communists for defying union rules.
the Communists also expel members
who fail to carry out Communist or
ders in the unions"
In the first case, if certain union
rules are autocratic and destructive of
freedom, then you should join with
the Communists in working for their
elimination. With regard to your other
point, you seem to fail to understand
the difference between what a union
is justified in doing and what prop
uganda organization can justifably do.
If a union expels members because
they are Communists, it deprives
them of their means of livelihood. II
political party expels members for
violation of its principles, they are
not deprived of their livelihood. Be-
sides, union needs an opposition to
keep it healthy. A propaganda organ
ization cannot function effectively if
it retains within its fold persons who
do not believe in its brand of prop
uganda.
So much for your absurd criticisms
of Left Wing Unionism." You do,
however, welcome Mr.. Saposs's other
book, Readings in Trade Unionism,"
because of the idea it gives of the Gin
tellectuai progress CD Of the Amer
lean labor movement" But you COM
plain that the documents are "dry and
journalistic" and lack the inspiration
and fire that are Characteristic of the
more advanced movement in other
countries which is, however, mot
the fault Of the editor" How do you
propose to transform the American
labor movement into an inspiring
movement, full of fire and militancy
against the capitalist class? That is
the question OF the hour for Socialists

GARY, Ind. May 17.-The Bulgar-

The prisoners are: Abraham Cisne-
ros, A. K. Anderson, William Joos-

A check for S27 to cover sending
each SO was sent thru the Interna-
tional Labor Defense.
Not long ago the same club sent
the International Workers Aid $50
and the Passaic strikers $25. II also
decided to send $50 to the Bulgarian
trade union weekly "Edinstov" in Bull
garia, which is appearing despite the
prosecutions of the Liaptchev govern
ment, and $50 to the Bulgarian Com
munist weekly "Saznanie" in Amerfus.

Headers by writing about their grow
ing spirit of federation" it looks as
though you were bidding for favor.
And this proves that you have
abandoned your militant policy. If it
doesn't, then cite me an instance of
militant policy on the part of the
Socialists against the officials in the
trade unions since 1921, when the De-
troit convention decided to seek "the
cooperation and good will of the con-
sentative labor leaders and unions"
with view to forming labor party.
You argue that the Communists en-
ployed the same tactics in trying to
enter the Conference for Progressive
Political Action. Yet the Socialist
leaders at the Cleveland convention OF
that conference voted against admit
ting them because they knew that the
Communists would not do what the
Socialists did, but would pursue mil
liant boring from within policy.
Socialist "Militancy"
Next, you try to deny that the So
cialists were ever militant by quoting
resolutions of Socialist conventions in
the old days. Mr.. Saposs, on the other
hand, referred to acts, not harmless
resolutions. Would you say, for in
stance, that the socialists did not pur-
sue militant boring from within pol
icy in the Electrical Workers Union
between 1908 and 1912, when the So
cialist Reid faction tried to wrest con-
troll from the McNulty conservative
ofIicialdom? This struggle even re-
suited in the secession of the Reid fac
ton for time, and this faction was
staunGhly defended at A. F. of L. con-
ventiOns by the Socialist delegates.
Michael Mulcaire, in his history of the
International Brotherhood of Electric
al Workers, even goes so far as to say
that though this movement "had it's
origin in a purely internal dispute, it
is now generally conceded that it
finally developed into a CONTEST
FOR THE CONTROL OF THE EN-
TIRE LABOR MOVEMENT IN THE
COUNTRY BY A RADICAL GROUP
WITHIN THE AMERICAN Fedora
lTION OF LABOR which were backed
and encouraged by Socialistic labor
and political organizations Up. 20
caps mine)."
Your next thrust falls equally fiat
when the facts are considered Mr..
Saposs quotes Foster to the effect that
by their militant policies the Com,
munists havesbeeome an underground
Organization in practically all the
trade unions. OF course, since Mr..
Foster wrote that, the Communists
have taken control Of the New York
joint boards of the Furriers' Union
and the International Ladies' Garment
Workers. But the fact is that the
Communists have been ACTIVE in all
the unions, even though underground,
while the Socialists have done nothing
to Gust corrupt officials and usher in
progressive policies.\
"Dual Allegiance"
Now comes your grand attack on
the dual allegiance" Of the ,Commun-
lists. In this you agree with the A. f.
of l.. which declared at It's 1928 con-
vention that no one could serve Com
munism and at the same time serve
American trade unionism." You make
the amazing statement that more
union wrecking has been accomplish
ed by this dual allegiance than has
been accomplished by all the spies oil

DIVIDEND AND INTEREST PAYMENTS
REACH $4,O77, $4,000 IN 1925

Dividends and interest payments in
1925 crossed the billion dollar mark
the first time in history, according to
the U. S. department of commerce.
The total of $4,O77, $4,000 means an
income gain of about SO for the own
ers of capital over the $3.50, 5SS,000
which they received on their securi-
ties in 1924.
Huge Profits.
This exorbitant return to absentee
owners would provide a full years
pay to 3,150,0O0 workers at the aver
age wage paid in the country's facto-
ries. II divided equally among all the
farmers, factory workers, railroad
workers and miners employed through
out the country it would have given
each about $24O more toward his an
nual budget.
This years payments mark gain
of nearly 2O95 over 1920, the last year
of war profits. They represent an
Increase Of 1890 over 1918 when the
owners OF stocks and bonds received
a total of s1,777, $4,000.

Editor The New Leader:
TN the May 1 issue of The New
L Leader you wrote review of LEFT
Wing Unionism," by David ]. SaRoss.
1t 10 filed with so many superficial
criticisms of Mr.. Saposs's book and so
many unjustified and unwarranted at
tacks upon the Communists that am
esnturing to write an answer to your
review.
You maintain, in the first place, that
although 'Mr. Saposs has read much
On the theme he considers" he "has
had no personal experience in the
movement he considers which would
enable him to check the sources and
to more intelligently interpret the ma
erial." Did you somehow miss the
constant references turnout the book
20 the extensive field work under,
taken by the author in his study of
the l. w. w. and the scores of inter-
views with trade union leaders of all
shades of opinion with respect to
every movement and trend of radical
policy discussed?
Praised in The Times.
You accuse him of making 80 many
forced conclusions and errors of in
terpretation not justified by the facts
that one is compelled to believe that
he began with theory and has en-
deavored to make the evidence sustain
that theory" Permit me to quote from
review by Evans Clark in the con-
servative New York Times a different
version of the authors qualifications
for his task and the way in which he
performed it:
'Mr. Saposs is a rare and exceeding
| ly useful sort of person. He is on the
inside of the labor movement, yet he
has an elevation of mind that enables
him to view it from above-a detach-
ment the more discerning because it
springs from intimacy. Mr.. Saposs is
on the inside of the labor movement
by conviction, by sympathy and by
long association. He has met all the
important labor leaders in the country
and a host of lesser ones, not as an
outsider" but as a friend and coun-
sellor..
"In his Left Wing Unionism' Mr..
Saposs has welded a skillful scalpel
on an Intricate tangle of economic It's
sues and psychological cells and laid
bare the causes of a chronic disaffec-
tion-~the seemingly fated and eternal
split between Rights and Let's, rad
icals and conservatives--which has at
times all but laid the labor movement
low. He has done 1t as the eminent
surgeon would. with sympathy for the
patient, of course, yet firmly and in.
cisively-utterly without emotional
display and with cool disregard of
the latent drama in the whole situa.
ton"
ogling the Leaders.
You maintain that in interpreting
an article OF yours in the Baltimore
Sun Mr.. Saposs distorted your point
OF view. You are right in saying that
the theme Of your article was mot any
change of the Socialist Party in its
trade union policy, but change in the
general attitude of the A. r. of l..
towards progressive views since the
accession of William Green" But Mr..
Saposs was not commenting upon the
theme OF your article. He merely said
that your article reflected the trend
in Socialist trade union policy. II you
make goo-goo eyes at the A. r. OF L.
