THE resolution on the capitalist at

disposal of the trade union general

the support of the entire international
trade union movement for the strug-
gle of the British workers.
The conference was one-sidedly con-
sidering only the situation in Britain.
The international character of the
capitalist offensive was emphasized in
a resolution for united trade union
international, which also pointed out
the war danger, and greets the Anglo
Russian unity committee as the first
step towards a united international.
The resolution spiritedly rejects the
demands of the reformists that the
Russian unions abandon their brother
organizations affiliated to the R. /. L.

declares unqualifiedly for the line of

ton of a united international, for

pairing for the struggle, in which the
indications point to development OF

weakness of official leadership, in

enemy of British capitalism, the

III. Clearing the Decks for
Action.
BY EARL BRowDER.

A General Struggle Impends. ~
IEIE have noted only a few high
w spots in the whole complex of
struggle now developing in Britain.
Dozens of minor situations could be
cited. In the dispatches of one day
were noted the lockout of 5000 weay-
ers at Barnoldswick; lockout of all
painters engaged in the shipbuilding
industry in London district; struggle
in the railroad industry over wage
cuts; the fight to prevent the under
mining of builders wages thru the
Weir housing scheme; strike ballot of
agricultural workers in Norfolk and
Suffolk counties; strike of lockers in
London and Newhaven; strike of
clothing workers at Congleton; strike
at army repair depot at Feltham5 etc.
While the capitalist class prepares a
general offensive, the entire labor
movement is stirring with the prep
arations for effective resistance. The
situation was characterized by A. j.
Cook of the miners, in his speech on
March 13, when he said:
There may be political and eco
nomic upheaval. We are indeed at
the crossroads"
The first clear judgment Of the
whole situation with a comprehensive
program to meet it, is that which was
put forth in a statement of the execu-
tive of the Communist Party of Great
Britain, on the occasion of the coal
commission report. In part this state
ment says:
Ever since the tremendous and
magnificent display of solidarity by
the workers on Red Friday, 1925,
the employing class have used every
device to split the working class
into isolated sections. They we're
particularly successful in creating
friction between the engineers and
the building trades over the ques-
ton of steel houses. They attempt
ed the separation of the railwaymen
by the award of the national wages
board. Their ultimatum to the en-
cheering trades over the question
of Hoes is yet another incident re-
vealing the strategy OF the capitalist
class.
ON each of these partial conflicts
the workers have lost ground .
And now the miners are faced def
nitely with reductions of wage
scales which are already much be-
low the subsistence level :.
"The second danger comes from
the existence of number of labor
leaders who are so obessed with
the idea of uniting all classes and
speaking Of the interests of the
community as a whole that they
fail to defend the workers they rep
present. Around them will be gath
cred all the doctrinaire intellectu-
ais, with their Utopian theories, who
have been attracted to the labor
movement. With them, too, will be
all the weak vacillating elements on
the fringe of the working claJ5
movement. All these will make
their appeals and address their lit
tie questions and votes OF censure
to the capitalist class and bid the
workers be reasonable.
From these elements the work,

7sHERE has been a great deal Of fuss
about unemployment in the Soviet
Union. Not only are the bourgeoisie
busy telling the workers that even in
the land of socialism there is unem-
ployment but the socialists and "Wob-
blfes" are also ironical about the ad-
rnitted unemployment in Russia.
Now here is something for these
apoiogists of capitalism to notice.
First, that Russia does not pretend to
be a socialist country in the sense
that socialism is realized there. Not
at all. AS good Marxians the Bolshe-
viks knew from the very beginning
that building up socialism will take
decades. Socialism means an organ
lied economy and where small pro-
dticers make up the overwhelming ma
jority of the population, organized
economy can come only as result
OF a thoroly developed cooperation.
That takes time, as everyone under
stands. But there are socialist ele-
ments in Russia, and they are ever

lies the key to the solution of the
unemployment question.
re Different in Russia.
Second: The unemployment in
Russia differs from the unemployment
in capitalist countries in an essen
tial point. Unemployment in Russia
has grown along with the development
of industry. Country life is backward
in Russia. AS the inheritance of cen.
turtles of feudal suppression and men
tai oppression by the church, country
economy was devastated by imperial
list and interventionist wars. The fam
inc continued because of bureaucratic
negligence to teach the peasants dry
farming and irrigation. Now the new
cultural life in the Soviet cities at
tracts the peasants. And so we see
the following curious thing. There
were in 1854 leading industrial enter
prises in 1921.

Of seven million industrial workers
were mostly those who had never
worked in industry before.
What are the Soviets doing for the
unemployed? First, there is to be
taken into industry $4,000 new work
ers during the fiscal year 1886. But
the problem is that there are $4,000
skilled workers and $4,000 semi
skilled workers needed. The employ.
ment Office knows that there can be
obtained only $4,000 skilled, and not
very skilled, workers among the I'M

opened for the youth and organized
