How this British obligation has
been dishonored is now a matter OF
daily experience. The best of the Fiji
lands have been given to others. The
sugar barons finding the natives not
amenable to their appeals for labor
induced the British government to
permit coolies from India. This sys
tenn operated for years, and proved a
curse to the Hindus and a greater
curse to the Fijians.
The outrages perpetrated under
coolie indenture led to its repeal. But

The Unions Belong to the Workers

to save the union from the disrupters.
A new idea this, that the union lead
ers are justified in holding the union
control, against the will of the major
ity of members.
But What of History
But labor history tells story of OPP
preston Of the workers by the rising
capitalist class in America, and of the
rise of unions amidst the birthpangs
of the working class in struggle. The
entire labor movement has been built
on struggle for better conditions, on
resistance to the masters encroach-
ments, on enthusiastic and heroic
strikes and organization campaigns.
The struggle for the S-hour day,
Homestead, McKeesport, Lawrence
and Colorado are milestones on
the path of unionism. Despite betray-
ais, the energy and spirit of the Amer
lean working class have forged organ
izations that can be of service in the
class struggle.
The International Association of
Machinists grew in influence thru a
policy Of class struggle, influenced by
radical sentiment. The needle trade
unions formed the left wing of the
labor movement. Strikes and organ
ization campaigns drove the I. L. G.
w. U. onward, building up favorable
shop conditions. The outlook of the
union was not confined to fair days
wage for a fair days work. The
union advocated a new system of So
ciety, with workers control. But this
was before the world war, when the
socialists betrayed the working class
thru support of the war; this was be-
fore the Russian revolution of Nov.
1917, when the socialist leaders allied
themselves with the bourgeoisie.
In the lmperialist Epoch
But now the pseudo-radical leaders
have become conservative. They use

still to learn.
The Task Of the Revolutionist.
The Communist, whom the bureau
Gratis are trying to GUST from the un-
ions, must be in the unions. There
where the fight is thickest, there must
he be. To remain outside of the union
displays an underestimation of the
role of unions in the class struggle.
The fight against the imperialists i'm
plies a fight against their labor lieu
tenants. The unions must be taken
out of the hands of labor's enemies.
Who will teach the mass of work
ers the role of the union? Who will
drive home to them the lessons of
their shop experiences? Who will act
as living examples of working class
devotion and leadership? That is the
historic role of the Communists. These
comparatively peaceful periods have
their tasks no Hess renowned than
periods of revolution.
Who will transform the vague, in
coherent protest of the workers into
uCAu4JC revolutionary AOAAhb w hO
will give it guidance in the struggle
against bureaucrats, directing it into
political channels? Who will stiffen
the resistance of the workers, sup
plying the bands of steel? None but
the Communists. Fl
Our immediate task is to build the
party fractions. Past experience has
shown us that where we had frac-
lions, there we were able to accom-
plish more in proportion to the
proper functioning of these fractions
There where our fractions functioned,
we were able to influence progressive
elements. If we wish to strengthen
the T. U. E. L., if we wish to broaden
the left wing, then every party mem
Der must get into the unions, and
take his place side by side with the

Meetings
BY WILLIAM slMoNs

TT seems strange to repeat in 1926,
i a hundred years after the origin
of unions in the United States, that
the unions belong to the workers. But
in face of the action and theology OF
those now in control of the unions, it
is necessary to repeat that sentence
over and over again, until it perme-
ates the working class, until it reaches
the most backward worker in the
shop
The labor bureaucracy asserts that
it is the defender of the union tradi-
tons against the left wing. AS long
as they can get away with it, the
bureaucrats boast of their majority
control stealing elections to prove it;
and they use it to drive out revolution
airy and progressive elements. But
when their claim to majority be-
comes a laughing stock, they throw
away the fig leaf of democracy and
majestically proclaim themselves un-
ion defenders against the devilish left
wing, which has seduced the innocent
union membership. Johnston (machin-
ists) and Hetrick (painters) have is
sued accommodation edicts against
Communists and sympathizers. Hut
cheson (carpenters) pleads for cap
italist injunction, under the pretext Of

Buffalo District
Reports on Number
of Trade Unionists

The trade union compilation for the
Buffalo party district shows 81 mem
bers organized into labor unions,
chiefly among the carpenters, tailors,
clothing workers and machinists, and
the rest scattered among plumbers,
printers, laborers, cooks, food workers,
electrical workers, granite cutters,
BARRIERS, auto workers, cap makers,
railway fremen, firemen and oilers,
textile and brewery workers.
This membership is distributed
chiefly in Buffalo and Rochester with
scattered members in Albany, Schen-
ectady, Utica, Syracuse, Niagara
Falls and Erie. There are nine men,
bers in the various central labor
bodies.
Many more members are eligible to
join unions, and the Buffalo district
reports that they are intensifying

ment to denounce the Communists and
progressives. They join hands with
the bosses. The machinists' union was
the first to inaugurate the Baltimore
and Ohio plan; the I. L. G. w. U. Of
ficials surrendered to the governors
commission; and now Red Hillman be-
comes the apostle of the yellow gold
en- rule, wearing crown given by
capitalist Nash. The surrender to the
bosses furthers the lowering of the
workers standard of living, by the
speed-up system, diminishing of union
control over shop conditions, and
wage reduction. The labor leaders
in tying the moose around the work
ers necks, are the labor agents OF

capitalist class inside of the trade
unions, in a period of Imperialism
What Say the Workers.?
The immediate answer of the work
ers to this surrender by the labor
bureaucrats must be intensifcation OF
the struggle for change in policy and
administration. The unions have been
perverted into organs of class collabo-
ration, Of workers subsection. The
capitalists have adopted more modern
methods; in addition to the uncivilized
method of attempting to stifle the
unions, used for the past century, they
have added the civilized means of

with power and position; the second
with crumbs from the imperialist

Cook, Miners Leader,
Predicts Struggle

LONDON-(FP) - Thousands of
British lads of is and 10 years have
never held job in their lives simply
because there was none to be had,
says Secy. A. ]. Cook of the Miners
Federation of Great Britain.
1--WE are facing crisis. Why should
we blink it," demands Cook. "The
capitalist papers keep urging us to
forget it. They write of optimism.
How can we be optimistic In my
own trade there are 100000 men out
of work. Some of them have not been
employed in years.
"Mayday, 1926, will be a fateful day
for our industry. Unless we yield be-
fore that time we shall be forced to
take cut in wages or to make fight.
Papers talk as though it were in my
hand to decide the issue. But suppose
should yield to the demands of the
employers. The miners of Wales
would be after me with guns. Papers
tell you every day in discussing these
matters that l am only one person.
But l speak for more than million
members of single organization.
That is our highwater mark. Our
membership has never been so large
as it is today and the men have come
back since the 1921 crisis because
they realize that unionism is the only
possible road to victory"
Cook produces figures showing that
the miners in many coalfelds, such
as Northumberland, are now receiv-
ing an average of about 10 shillings
day. Il shilling, about 25c). The
scale advocated by the employers
would cut the men to about shillings,
a wage far below the cost of sub
sistence.
"They talk about a Locarno for
labor" Cook said what does that
mean? 1t means forcing Belgian and
German miners to take lower wages
or starve. aud then using the low con-
tinental wage scales to beat town the
standards of British miners.
