part IIl,O

IRON the beginning of the British
general strike the right-wing lead
ers of the council and of the labor
party had begged the government to
use them for it's purposes. Mr..
Thomas, himself, described his own at
titude in the house of commons as
'groveling for peace" Mr.. Arthur
Henderson, with others, made trip to
the government, their mission being to
find a formula" for the surrender,
shortly after the strike was called;
they were met by Churchill, with the
question: Have you come to say that
the strike notices are withdrawn"
NO. we !" Then there is no
reason to continue this discussion"
said Churchill.
Yes, the government knew with
whom it had to deal! AS even that
kind-hearted, muddle-headed pacifst,
Lansbury, remarks; 1.-THE government
felt that these were not the men to
conduct successful strike" The gov
eminent was correct!
In the first days of the strike the
council took another backward step
when it responded to Baldwin's chal-
.lenge of unconstitutional, illegal and
revolutionary" with the declaration
which they repeated every day, that
the strike was nothing by an economic
struggle directed against the mine
owners.
A LTHOUGH it was obvious that gov
"A eminent had come into the open
as the executive committee of the
bourgeoisie, including the mine-owners
whose cause it made its own, and that
therefore to fight against the mine
owners must necessarily mean to fight
also against the mine owners govern
ment-yet the General Council delib-
erately shut its eyes to this funda-
mental fact, and tried to prevent the
membership from seeing it. In that
slogan of "only an industrial struggle"
was written the final surrender.
A few days later, among the demon
strations from abroad of the interna-
tional solidarity of labor with the
British workers, came the financial
contribution of the Russian unions of
81 100000 (2,6OO,O00 roubles), with the
promise of more to follow. Surely
here was, even apart from its practi-
cal value, a splendid symbol of the in
ternational solidarity of labor that
would build up even higher the morale
The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1926-06-18

of British workers, who have an Of
fetal alliance with the Russian unions.
But no, the General Council bowed
to the corrupt, hypocritfcal, bourgeois
public opinion" which says that as
sistance cannot be accepted from the
revolutionary Russian workers; they
refused the contribution of the seven
million trade unionists of the Workers
Republic. Another unmistakable sign
that the general staff was looking for
means of losing the war, rather than
of winning.
THEN came the news that the gov
4 eminent was about to strike at the
General Council Immediately Mr..
Thomas and his friends overwhelmed
the timid council members with pros
poets of "the streets running with
blood" with tales of strikers already
returning to work, OF thousands of
trains being restored to service by the
government and the o. M. s., of the
unions being smashed. All the gov
eminent propaganda suddenly APP
peared within the General Council it.
self as the basis upon which decisions
affecting the millions ofsstriking work
ers should be based. sg
These were the. conditions within
the General Council, this was the
foundation it had built for its leader
ship, at the opening of the second
week of the general strike.
The Betrayal Of the Miners.
THRUoUT the country the workers
4 were unanimously, solidly, deter
mined to fight the battle to finish.
Those trades still at work were de-
manding that their leaders call them
out. The only complaints heard from
anywhere in the ranks of the workers
were complaints that the General
Council was not aggressive enough.
Every call, every demand made upon
the masses, was instantly complied
with and even anticipated. A thousand
testimonials to this fact could be quot
ed from every camp in the labor move
ment from extreme right to left, and
even from the camp of the bourgeoisie.
There was absolutely not the slight
est excuse for General Council, if it
were really concerned with winning its
battle, to fall into pessimism at such
moment On Tuesday of the second
week, yielding to the pressure of the
members, the call had gone forth for
the metal workers to1come out. The

What Is the FarmHr-LabOr
Movement?

dates does not appear at once, but it
is there. The weakening of the local
bureaucracy led by Paul Smith, by
reason of it's opposition to the Farmer.
Labor Party and it's authorized candi-
dates, the strengthenApg of the Com:
munists and the left k#ng because of
their honest and militant support of
the farmer-labor movement, are major
contributory causes for such events as
the defeat of Paul Smith and his CO.
horts on the question Of support for
the Sacco-Vanzetti defense in the Min
neapolis Central Labor. Council two
weeks ago.
THIS is the first time that the Cen
4 trail Labor Council reactionaries
have been defeated in two years on a
major question of policy, and it I'M
doubtedly indicates a serious decrease
in both their theological and organi-
rational control.
Another indication of a new and
more progressive alignment in the
Minneapolis labor movement is the be-
ginning of the organization of build
ing trades bloc in opposition to the
present leadership of the Central La
Dor Council.
Since the expulsion of the Commu-
nists and the disruption of the left
wing movement which followed it, the
Minneapolis trade unions have been
going from bad to worse.
THE recent defeat Of the Lathers'
4 Union because of the failure of the
other unions to support it, the hostility
of the Central Labor Council leader
ship to the strike, their attempts to
jockey the Lathers' Union into class
collaboration agreement with the
bosses, have disguised the honest ele-
ments in the building trades and steps
have been taken already to build an
offensive and defensive alliance which
will make 1t possible for these unions
to mobilize their full strength in sup
port of any building trades union
which is attacked.
THIS plan is in direct contradiction
l. with schemes of the Central Labor
bureaucrats, whose relations with the
Citizens Alliance are under investi-
cation, and whole policy is to keep the
unions weak and divided.
1t is significant that the line of di-
vision on this issue is, with few ex-
ceptions, the same as that on the
question Of supporting the convention
candidates of the Farmer-Labor Party.
TheNdemarcations will become still
clearer II Magnus Johnson wins the
Farmer-Labor Party primary and the
union reactionaries in the Leach and
Davis camp are faced with the prob
lem OF accepting and supporting him

dates.

The Struggle in Great Britain

they have received their marching
orders with enthusiasm and a sense
of relief. Not a single area has
Weakened" is Mr.. Cramps report"
And yet the very next issue of the
British Worker carried the big head
line, "Great Strike Terminated" On
Wednesday kilograms had gone out all
over the country to return to work.
What had happened?
ITO the negotiating committee of the
4 General Council, dominated by Mr.
Thomas, had come Mr.. Herbert Sam
uel, chairman of the coal commission,
called back from Italy to render yet
another service to the bourgeoisie in
the war against the British working
class. Samuel gave the trembling
leaders" to understand that Baldwin
had sent him, to offer private gen
tlemen's agreement" that if they called
off the strike without conditions the
government would secure the cancella-
ton of the lockout on the miners,
would extend the subsidy at least for
a period of negotiations, and certain
gains for the miners would be secured.
A specific memorandum was drawn up
of the proposals, which has become
famous as the Samuel Memorandum"
The miners leaders were called in.
They questioned the authority of Sam
uel to bind the government. They
pointed out that they were being called
upon to surrender the basic principle
of their struggle without even guar
antee that the few crumbs offered
would really be given them. They re.
jected the Samuel Memorandum.
Quite as if in a panic, the General
solemn pledge to the miners. to act
upon the Samuel Memorandum. 1t de-
cided that the memorandum was suf-
fcient basis for calling off the general
strike. A committee was sent to Bald
win to announce, without any condi-
tions, that the strike was terminated
After Baldwin was seen the miners
were notified of what had been done.
The General Council had broken rela-
tons with the miners. After millions
of workers had risked all to support
the miners, the miners had been be-
trayed. The general strike was over
but its object had not been won; it
had been surrendered.

Fourth Article.


THE Minnesota farmer-labor clubs,
4 altho less important units than the
unions which endorse the Farmer-La-
Dor Party in the Industrial Districts,
and altho they will be superseded by
joint union committees as the party
develops, in the rural regions are the
real organizational basis of the party
and will remain so.
They represent the only organiza-
tional form by which farmers have
been enabled to rid themselves of the
political buzzards which have fastened
themselves upon the farmer movement
since farmers began to venture into
the political arena as an economic
group.
THE oranges, farm bureaus and the
non-partisan league, all had an or
ganizational form in which the shyster
lawyers and others of that ilk could
secure and exercise organizational
control. All of these organizations
were controlled from the top exclu-
sively, but the farmer-labor clubs have
managed to obtain organizational CO.
herence while also allowing far more
inner part democracy.
The failure of the old non-partisan
league beaureaucrats to capture the
farmer-labor movement in Minnesota
is due to two causes:
I. The increasing consciousness OF
the farmers and workers.
2. The rank and file character Of
the organization based on the clubs.
The best the old officialdom Of the
non-partisan league could do was to
recruit thirty or forty alleged farmers
into a convention for which Johnson's
opponent, Davis, paid all expenses.
Inside the Farmer-Labor Party the
old ofIicialdom was powerless.
INSIDE the trade union movement
L the process of Qualification on the
farmer-labor question has not pro-
ceeded as rapidly as 1t has among the
farmers.
The reason for this is probably be-
cause Of the fact that the labor unions
still have tendency to depend ex-
clusively upon their economic strength
and look upon politics rather as a
tributary stream than as the main
current Of the labor movement They
do not see the two movements as an
indivisible whole as yet.
The farmers rely only on securing
control of the state apparatus for mar
keting etc, and a much higher per-
centage of farmers have thrown them
selves into the farmer-labor movement
than have the workers.
DUT the process is at work and al
- ready some substantial gains have
been made. The split between the Of
flcialdom and the rank and file Of the
unions on the issue OF support of the
