STRIKE STRATEGY
BY WILLIAM z. FOSTER
ARTICLE v.
MILITANT LEADERSHIP

A. FUNDAMENTAL necessity to successful strike
strategy is the building and functoning of an effective
trade union leadership The workers necessity for firm
courageous leadership is burning The very nature
of their struggle against the capitalists and the state de-
mands centralizaon and discipline, which involves the
ranseence Of great power into the hands Of those who
stand at the head of the unions One cannot fight the class
the basis Of referendums.
Even as military army, the workers organizations
must be headed by capable general staff Besides because
of their capalistc environment the workers afflicted
with many destructive Illusions political economic patri
oc religious These make them prey of various breeds
Of miseaders Hence, the tremendous Importance of de.
yeopng honest wekni and thoroly capable leader
ship able to point the way ideologcay to the workers
well give them organzatonal leadership in times Of
strikes.
The problem Of leadership may be considered in two
phases There is the basic question of group leadership
and the subsidiary question OF individual leadership
Let us approach the subject thru the latter phase

To The DAILY WORKER:
Comrades: | am sending you a few
lines from this the greatest slave state
in the Union, here where the people
work like mules 364 days in the year
and vote like fools on election day.
A few of such attended a reception
to the New Messiah" that has made
his appearance. 1t is our old enemy
w. B. Wilson. number of us of the
workingclass we're curious to know
what he proposed to do for our class
as there were men of difT4ent shades
of political belief we had honad for
some constructive advice for unifica-
ton.
What did we get? His poetic soul
was torn by the thought that there
are too damn many socialists and boil
sheviks and If he could have his way
they would all be consigned to the
nethermost depths. That was all he
talked about. He is linked up with all
the reactionary movements, Granny
quilting parties, the w. G. T. Q. and
the like. Poor old Bill, see a sad
ending for him. He can't make his
exit any too soon to suit US moderns.
The mining situation has improved
slightly here. Scabbing on the Eng
fish miners is a wonderful business
producer, seemingly approved by the
unions.
am sending you a little change;
send me a bundle of The DAILY
WORKER and may your burdens soon
grow less.
Yours truly,

Editor DAILY WORKER.
Dear Sir Enclosed please find s1.00
in support of your great fighting pa
per, The DAILY WORKER, loved by
the worker, hated by the parasites,
combination of capitalists and co-reli-
gionists.
Mr.. Editor, this is a sad city for
any worker to enter in search Of en-
ployment. have been here now two
months and in that time I've worked
by mere chance five weeks in a very
small factory for a very small wage
Of 35 cents per hour. Even tho small
the wage, two of the staff were laid
off two weeks since and since that
time I've been walking the streets
in vain looking up any kind of work
and thousands Of others likewise. The
free employment agency every day is
Overlooking with stlffs I've seen men
by the thousands grab jobs that paid
SI5 per week. And it is sad to relate
the nature of the want ads seen in
the daily yellow press: Man wanted,
to work in apartment house for his
board and room" If that doesn't look
like the days of chattel slavery, the
workers are nearing the minimum.
The worker has only himself to
blame; that's the state of affairs you
will always find where the open shop
predominates.
As word of caution to the workers
in all other states, please have them
keep away from California, except
they want to come and commit suicide
by starvation The climate is O. X.
but you can't live on the climate.
Yours very truly.
VIM. QUEALY.

so neat, summary and hopefull Let
me quote some of IL:
Under the slogan Work and Save
and aided by the recent developments
of the oil fields of the country and the
unusually high prices for coffee wen
ezuela's chief export), the country is
now passing thru boom never be-
fore attained in its history. Since the
present administration went into
power in 1909 the government has
been showing an important surplus in
its budget, reflected in a healthy re.

economic life of Venezuela is funda-
mentally sound, and the condition Of
the country is excellent"
Cake and hallelujahl
Alas, all this economic sweetness
somehow seems to stick only to the
upper crust layer OF the social crust.
After the administration (which, mind
you, has been in power since 1908,
and intends, dear me, never to say
the word fdie") has had its hogs

tration) decided to celebrate his birth
day, and to the limit BY royal decree
he created a new college, the Colegio
Monsenor Jauregui. The generosity
Of Gomez knows no bounds. The
director of the college was to receive
some twenty-odd dollars a week as
salary; the sub-director, fourteen or
fifteen dollars; the professors, under
obligation to work ten hours a day
were to be paid four munifcent dol
lars week, and the porter, that II.
literate bearer of burdens, was to
make merry on, well, sir, on two
whole dollars a week.
This, of course, will not keep the

continuing in its neat, summary, and
hopeful way.

Strikers In Distress.
This strike at Passaic, New Jersey,
has attracted the attention of the
membership of organized labor and
the public generally. Every effort
possible has been put forth to bring
about an honorable settlement. The
strikers and their families are in deep
distress and must have financial help
if the struggle Is continued to a sue
eessful termination. The thousands of
striking textile workers and their fami-
lies are dependent upon the contribu-
tions which organized labor and its
friends may make for food and cloth
ing. It is only in this way that their
hunger can be satisfied and their
strength to continue the struggle can
be maintained"
Need Aid Now.
The needs of the strikers are very
urgent indeed. They must have help
and have it quickly. Delay will mean
hunger and suffering while quick re-

scarcely understand questions about
his job when translated into his own
tongue. Here is no condemnation of
Dinzio, but of his employer, the great

NEW YORK, Nov. 2.-Workers of
New York, aroused by the recent &C.
ton of Judge Webster Thayer, of the
Massachusetts, supreme court, in re-
fusing to grant Sacco and Vanzetti a
new trial despite the overwhelming
evidence which proves their innocence,

with the two Italian labor fighters on
November IS, 1926 at the Madison
Square Garden. The meeting is being
arranged by the Sacco-VaTzetti Con,
ference, and Elizabeth Gltley Flynn,
national chairman of International La
Dor Defense will be the main speaker.
Others prominent labor and progress
sive leaders will also speak.
The respite gained by Sacco and
Vanzetti up until now has been Sc
cured to a great degree because Of the
determined demonstrations OF solida-
rity by workers throughout the world.
The workers of New York will join in
this international movement and join
their voices in the demand for life and
freedom for Sacco and Yanzetti.
