trade unions "to promote greater co.
operation between labor and captiap

British Labor Movement
Faces Severe Political Crisis


Take the present Industrial Peace
Charter and the present wave of
"class-collaboration' programs. What
is the significance of this? What is
the meaning of the present wide
spread eulogy of our General Council
by the capitalists? When the whole
trade union movement was backing
the miners, and when that support
forced on an unwilling General Coun-
Gil the general strike, we did not hear
many flattering remarks about our
leadership. Indeed, there was nothing
too vile for the capitalists to say about
them. Cabinet minister after cabinet
minister spat out the foulest venom
on our trade union movement and
particularly those leaders who were
then classed as ''lefts," and followed
it up by an anti-trade union bill
which was enough to make7 the pion.
GERS of trade unionism turn in their
graves.
Why then this sudden flattery of
trade union leadership and passion for
collaboration" which is reciprocatad
with the most ignominious and hunii-
iating department of our leaders :?
This is most important question for
the workers movement in this ooun-
try. We must get to the bottom of
it, and understand it clearly, for, I'M
less we do, we cannot hope to take
the offensive against capitalism. On
the contrary, we are more likely to
founder about for a long time to
come, cursing our fate, and each
other, while capitalism continues its
own sweet way of exploiting and de-
moralising our ranks without the
slightest resistance being offered.
We do not hesitate to say that the
present situation is characterised by
a victory OF capitalism over socialism.
Before the general strike the workers
had recovered from the heavy defeats
sustained in 1922. A steady conf
dence was being built up in the or
ganized power of labor. The "Back to
the Unions Campaign" had repaired
much of the damage inflicted in the
severe capitalist offensive following
1922.
