ically enuf the policy laid down by
the Fifth Congress of the Comintern
and the Third Congress of the r. l.
L. U. The Comintern executive could
no longer tolerate such state of af-
fairs. Therefore, it expressed itself
openly on this question and pointed
out the mistakes of the German Com
munist Party with respect to trade
union tactics.
YeIIows Destroy Unions.
In view of the negligible opposition,
the Breslau blockheads felt them
selves free to act as they liked. The
congress accordingly was of trite
and colorless character. All the great
questions of politics and economics
were beyond the limits of this con-
gress. The "real' politicians Of the
German soeialdemocracy destroyed
the soul of the trade unions and con-
verted the congress into a kind of
dance macabre in the reformist grave
yards, from which a putrid odor of
corpses is exhaled. t.
But we would be mistaken if we as
sumed that this graveyard character
of the Breslau Congress is a testi-
mony that German reformists have
lost influence over the masses. This
is not the case. There are still mil
lions of German workers who are
under their influence and we must
reckon with this. Altho German so
cial-demoracy has suffered numerical
losses during the last year, it has
nevertheless still $4,000 members and
this is a gigantic army which with
good organization can work wonders.
From the national and international
viewpoint alike, the congress of the
General Federation of the German
trade unions is a serious retrograde
step. The congress was not willing
to send a delegation to the u. s. S.
R., but it decided on the other hand
to send a delegation to the u. S. A.,
the trade union movement of that
country having become the ideal of
the German trade union bureaucrats.
The German trade unions, whose posi-
tion was all the time in the extreme
right-wing, have confirmed this posi-
tion by the decision of the congress
and there is every reason to believe
that they will carry on with the ut
most energy the struggle against our
unity tactics, for these gentry stand
only to lose by unity. Thus the trade
union movement of Germany in its
backward development has travelled
from Bebel to Gompers.

Need of Work in Unions.

This does not mean that there
has been a corresponding diminu-
ton of Communist influence on the
masses. But nevertheless our influ-
ence has dwindled considerably. The
reason for this is that until quite re-
Gently the party did not consider work
in the trade unions its foremost task:
1t considered this a secondary ques-
tion and distributed it's forces and
means accordingly. The second rea-
son is that the party showed itself in
capable of breaking down the wall
separating the social-democratic and
Communist workers. There was much
talk in Germany about Bolsheyization,
but it remained talk. In the disputes
in the German Communist Party with
respect to the trade unions loss Of in
fiuence the following argument is
used: as the trade unions have be-
come weaker, so the influence of the
Communists within them has also be-
come weaker This argument Is fu-
tile. II the Communists had remained
in the trade unions and had carried
on their policy energetically, the
fact that the membership dwindled to
one-half of its forrner-number should
have increased our Influence consider

the differences of opinion which show
ed themselves at our party congress,
This, however, makes no difference
to the necessity that our sister parties
are basically and topically informed
upon the problems facing the Com
munist Party of the Soviet Union. The
sister parties must carefully study our
discussion upon the basis of the
existing documents. The most impor-
tant condition for an understanding of
the decisions of the fourteenth party
congress on the part of the sister
parties is that they should always
take into consideration. the essential
difference between the circumstances
in which they struggle and work and
the circumstances in which the Com
munist Party of the Soviet Union
works. This essential difference is
that while our partyais in power and
builds up socialism, the sister parties
still stand before the conquest of

into reformism. The stronger the So

The bubble has burst, the bubble
that ruined the Grit government of
Nova Scotia last June and carried the
Tories into power, as we'll as ''sett-
ling" the coal miners strike of five
months standing. The tories have pro-
missed, if returned to power, to do
great things for the coal miners who
were on strike at the time of the pro-
vincial election last June. Among
other things, the miners were to get
six days work per week in the sum-
mer, and five days in the winter; the
tories promised to create royal COM
mission to inquire into causes of the
continual trouble between the men
and the coal operators, with the broad
hint that this commission would re-
establish the 1924 wage rates; at least,
and perhaps do better than that. What
these tories could not promise the
miners on the hustings was circulat-
ed by ward heelers.
Because of these promises the mi
ners' hopes were raised to the high
est pitch. To secure fairly steady
work at half decent wages the mi
ners would vote tory, or do anything
else that promised relief from the
grinding life that they had been fore
ed to live since Besco had been Great

declared that this commission was
utterly unprejudiced. Like the tory
election promises the miners for this
line OF bunk too. Their hopes of what
the commission was going to do for
them rose ever higher with each day
that the commission met over a pc
riod OF two months.

The Bubble Bursts.

On January 18th, the commission
made public its report, and the bub-
BILE that was inflated with tory pro-
misses is burst and the miners hopes
of the 1924 rates of wages dashed to
the ground. Here is what the COM
mission says about these rates that
the miners fought for and starved
for and struck FIVE long months Of
last year: 1--WE find that the re-
duction Of ten per cent on the 1924
scale proposed by the operators in
1925 was amply justified D.. A larger
reduction would indeed be justified,
but we limit our recommendation to
a reduction OF ten per cent on the
1924 rates"
