must also be able to lead in the strug-
gle inside the local unions on all ques-
tons of the union, and the unions
agreements. They must study the his
tory of the labor movement to be able
to guide the mass, along the proper
line and to develop leadership.
The development of leadership is
very important. Many times in in
Idustrial battles gone by the workers
have had the proper program but lack
led leadership to properly place the
program before the workers.
This lack of leadership has result
ed many times in the complete dis
organization of our forces. The min
ers in various conventions have been
the victims of this lack of left wing
leadership, which leadership, if it had
been present would have forced the
reactionary machine Of the miners to
accept at least part of our program.
The necessity of organizing this
leadership is obvious when we exam
inc the last few conventions of the
miners.
At many of these conventions the
militant miners have successfully
passed resolutions for naturalization
and workers control of the mines. II
the 1919 convention in Cleveland they
also passed resolutions indorsing a la
Dor party, for organization of the un-
organized, amalgamation, etc. Since
been betrayed and repudiated by the
Lewis machine.
In the 1924 convention militant
members were expelled from the con-
vention, and this in spite of the fact
that the militants had over so per
cent of the delegates, which was
shown by actual count after the con-
vention adjourned.
Organize the Left WING.
This debacle could not have occurr-
ed if the members of the Workers
Party, aided by the progressive ele-
ment had understood their proper role
in that convention. If they had been
organized for long time before the
convention, had discussed the issues
to come before the convention, had
understood the issues properly, and
been organized as a unit, with prop
erly Selected speakers, and stood as a
unit all thru the convention, they
would no doubt have defeated the re-
dictionary leaders on all the import
ant questions, and the fighs for pro-
gressive concrete demands would
have been we'll to the front in the
miners union today.
Every Communist a member of the
union. Until every member of our
party sees the necessity for this and
carries it out, we will remain imma-
ture, undeveloped sections of the Com
intern. Join the union

Big Charleston
Contest Feb. 81
at Temple Hall

Since the last charleston contest
held in Chicago that funny dance is
said to have become more popular
Another contest is being planned
however, this time without the as.
sistance of the distinguished mayor
of the city of that now so famous
name. OF course, it is but natural
that funny dance with it's savage
like rythm should thrive in a queer
world where people rise to fame by
sheer accident. We refer in particu-
lar to the man who happened to be
elected mayor of Charleston, w. Va.
The contest is to be held on Satur-
day, Feb. q at the Temple Hall,
Marshfield Ave. and Van Buren, ST.
The middle west amateur champion
couple have challenged anybody from
the Atlantic coast to the Pacific who
cares to enter This may not be of
such unusual Importance to the worker
who grinds away at the bench every
day, but then it is the fourth annual
Red Revel now so popular to Chicago
workers. And it is rumored that
there will be a full house despite the
absence Of the Charleston mayor. In
addition it is assured that all the
special attractions of the past yearly
events will be there, girls with high
boots, Russian style and dimples in
their knees, exquisite costumes and
funny costumes as WELL
Arrangements provide that group
prize number one can be won only
by a group numbering at least 25 per
sons. But there is also a second and
third group prize. Three prizes for
best mans consume, three prizes for
best ladies costume and one prize for
the most original costume.

BY ROBERT SMITH.

At the present time we, the Work
ers Party, are organizing an intensive
campaign to have all our members
join the trade unions Every mem
Der of the party must join the union
that has jurisdiction over the particu-
lar work he or she is engaged on,
and if no union has jurisdiction of
their work, they must start an inten-
sive drive to organize the particular
shop, and Immediately affiliate with
the national union.
The party must force its member
ship to join the unions; it is the only
way that we can reach the workers.
We must fight in the local unions, to
influence its membership, and at all
times lead them.
Our program in the local unions
must be based on immediate demands
Of the members, such as higher wag-
ss, shorter hours, better working CON
iitions, amalgamation, organize the
unorganized, against class collabora-
lion, etc. Our whole effort must be to
broaden out the demands of the work
ors, and turn the unions into organs
of the class struggle, instead of the
weak class collaboration organs they
are now becoming under the mislead-
ership of the present treacherous
leaders.
The party members at all times
must be ready to act as a unit in the
trade unions, and in all gatherings of
the workers, such as conventions and
conferences that meet regularly to
discuss and formulate programs for
future work of the members.
In order to carry out our program
correctly, the party members should
organize party fractions, to discuss
every question to come up at the local
union. They must meet privately, and
discuss these things, and agree on a
certain program to meet every occa-
sion, to go into the local union as
unit, and fight for the adoption of
their program. The party unit also
must build the left wing IT. u. E..
L., rally and lead them to the sup
port of our program. Sometimes it
becomes necessary to cooperate and
form alliances with progressives, upon
minimum program of action. This
cooperation must be based on GER
tain immediate concrete issues in the
interest of the workers.
Know the Situation and Issues in the
Union.
Our members must acquaint them
selves with the constitutions of their
organizations, local, district and ma
tional. They must also acquaint them
selves with their working agreements.
They must be prepared to take up
every question that arises in the To-
cal in the interest of the masses. They
