miners alone, to isolate them and to
vanquish them completely The Sec
ond task which the, conservative gov
eminent set itself was, as far as pos
stble, to hit the trade union movement
and the growing revolutionary spirit
with which it was pervaded, with the
object of bringing confusion into the
movement which was becoming more
radical, of disintegrating it, provoking
some, encouraging others with words;
in short, to demoralize the rising la
Dor movement
Both these aims were more or less
common to the government and to
the bourgeois leaders of the labor
movement. Thomas, Clynes, MacDon-
aid, Henderson & Co.. There can now
no longer be any doubt that this group
of leaders was, from beginning to end,
in the hands of the government, was
a partner in its game, some simply as
venal agents of the bourgeoisie, the
others because of a certain political
trend which pursued its own aims.

ABOR Day parades were once ac-
- cepted by the American trade
union movement as an established
tradition. 1t was a good tradition. It
IS therefore strange to record the fact
That John Fitzpatrick, president of the
Chicago Federation of Labor. a few
weeks ago tried to do his part to
hnally discard this tradition.
A 7 the meeting on June 2Sth the
\ Chicago Federation of Labor had
before it action upon a letter from
PRESIDENT Green of the American Fed
Grafton OF Labor urging that the
various central councils organize La
Dor Day parades. Considerable discus
sion developed. Progressive delegates
including those definitely known as
left wingers, spoke in favor of organ.

TNHE left wing delegates proposed
that great labor day parade be
organized as prelude to fight the in
junction menace, to protest the i'm.
prisonment of over forty members of
the International Ladies' Garment
Workers Union, women, mothers, who
were thrown behind the bars as a
result of an injunction and to strength
en- labors' ranks by organizing the
thousands Of unorganized. They en-
phasized the splendid effect of the
great mass demonstration OF some
10000 workers organized by the INF.

A 7 the conclusion OF the debate

May, 1926, they would be all the more

be compared with the treachery of

because 1t was done in peaceful" cir

THE more clearly we see the picture
1 of the English strike and the part
played in it by the general council, the
more clearly we realize that this was
the general councils "4th of August"
What was the significance of Au-
gust 4th, 1914 to the majority of the
leaders of the Second International?
At the critical decisive moment,
when so much depended on the gen
eral staff of the labor movement, the
general staff of the Second Interna-
tional, almost in its totality, went over
to the camp of the enemy, to the
camp of the bourgeoisie. The alli-
ance of the leaders of the working
class with the bourgeoisie against the
main mass of the working class,-that
was what the 4th of August meant.
The great crisis which had arisen dis
sipated all illusions, phrases, idle talk,
show, everything superficial and re-
vealed facts as they are; the leaders
of the Second International proved to
be agents of the bourgeoisie within
the labor movement. Secret things
were brought to light. When the i'm
perialist war broke out, the leaders of
the social democratic parties and the
reformist trade unions revealed them
selves as public purveyors of work
ers as cannon fodder to both groups
of imperialists. 1t is just at such mo-
ments that the leaders of masses of
workers ought to have done their duty
by them But they did their duty"
by the imperialists and the kings,
their real masters.
Have the reformist leaders changed
since then? How would they behave
If a fresh imperialist war were to
break out? Would they now do their
duty towards the workers?
Of course not!
We have had some experiences, and
they were not without Importance:
the attitude of the social democratic
leaders to the Russian October revo-
luton, the part played by such shin
ing lights of social democracy as
Scheidemann, Ebert and Noske in the
adhesive days of the revolution in
Germany lend of 1918, beginning of
1919, the treacherous behaviour of
the social democratic leaders during
the occupation of the Ruhr, the atti-
tude of the social democratic leaders
to the events in China, to the wars in
Syria and Morocco, etc.
The newest and most important ex-
ample is the behaviour of the Eng
lish general council in the DAYS of

of any preparation proves this. 1t
hoped and even believed to the last
minute that the government would Ill
timately come to terms !. The gen.
eral council glided automatically into
the strike.
up to the very last moment, none
of the leaders actually believed in
the possibility of strike Thomas
and his comrades believed that it
would somehow or other be possible
to come to an understanding with the
government" writes the Manchester
Guardian.
| The movement of the masses grew
beyong the strength of the leaders.
The fighting spirit of the masses of
English workers was underestimated
both by the government and by the
trade union leaders mentioned. They
were playing with fire. Forces came
into play which could no longer be re-
strained by them.
The general strike began and dem
onstrated the enormous, incalculable
forces of the English working class.
Thomas, Macdonald, Clynes, Hender-
son & Co. placed themselves at it's
head, apparently to the satisfaction
of Baldwin. To place oneself at the
head in order to behead, is a meth
cd" which has already been tested
out more than once.
| From the first moment it was evil
dent that the chief danger to the
! strike lay in the leaders of the general
council-Right as well sas Left. The
| first word of the Comintern was: 1.-THE
leaders of the general council are the
chief danger"
The organization shown by the
masses was marvellous. In the course
of the first week the strike developed
continuously on an ascending line
The masses started committees Of ac-
ton which actually developed into
something resembling district soviets
Of deputies of workers. Under the
influence of the masses, the trade
unions began to assume responsible
ties, such as the control of the free"
bourgeois press, the formation of
sub-commission for electricity whose
task it was to distribute electric pow
er turnout the country the appoint
ment of commissariats, etc.
| These were highly important begin
nings of something new. These were
already elements of a certain dual
power, promising phenomena of revo-
lutionary constructive work of the
masses. The workers began to fra
Itetnize with the troops. The workers
began to drag the genteel bourgeois
out of the motor cars. The workers
began to put out of gear the strike
breaking motor buses which made
their appearance in the London
streets. = The attitude of the working
class was such that there seemed
every reason to hope that events
would develop entirely in favor of the
iproletariat.
The proletarian army however had
no staff, or rather it had staff which
harbored treachery in its very heart
Altho the victory of an army need not
be exclusively due to its staff, it is at
any rate difficult for it to be victor
ious in opposition to its staff and in
the case in question it could only
have carried off victory by opposing
its own staff.
