Growth of Soviet Trade Unions

izations previously underground ap-
peared on the surface. A wave of
strikes, led in part by these unions,
swept the country. The revolutionary
parties took the leadership in these
strikes and did their utmost to
strengthen and build substantial
unions, making them the organs Of
political agitation.
The first All-Russian Trade Union
Conference, composed chiefly of dele
gates from Moscow unions, was held
in that city in October, 1905. Or
CARNATIONS, no matter what their
names, that were directly or indi-
rectly fighting capital" were repre-
sented at this conference. 1t organ
lied a Moscow District Bureau and a
Central Bureau for the calling of a
second conference which was held in
1906. This conference, with repre-
sentatives from more than ten cities,
reported that some 100000 workers
had been organized. 1t went on rec
ord in favor of continuing to form
bona fide bodies independent of po-
lice persuasion. 1t also advocated
the zone shop, one union" principal
which was later to become the pre-
vailing form of organization after
1917.
The Revolution of 1905 was
drowned in blood and the labor
union movement which had just
gotten on its feet during the strug-
giles was again driven underground
and suffered the terrible vengeance of
the monarchy. A period of severe
repression set in, According to Los
ovsky, "The unions were prohibited
from assisting strikers; they were
closed down for attempting to inter
vene in the great strike movement;
members of the executives were ar
rested and exiled to Siberia, funds
were confiscated and books taken to
the police stations; police were pres
Ont at all meetings, which were closed
down on the slightest pretext, and,
very often, without any reason at all
the iron fist Of the victorious re-.
action ruthlessly crushed the labor
organizations at their birth"

the active assistance of their political
governments. "In Liverpool it made
millions, and elsewhere in England,
Europe and New England it brought
prosperity not only to ship owners
but to the distillers of rum and the
manufacturers of other trade goods"
phillips, American Negro Slavery.)
FROM these beginnings in the mid
: die of the 18th century until the
Proclamation of Emancipation in,
1863, 400 years later, slavery was one
of the principal sources of wealth
among the Christian nations. Millions
of Africans were torn from their
homes, villages were devastated and
turned back into wilderness, but the
turned back into wilderness, but the
plantation owners of the Americas
got their labor and the rising trading
class of New England, New York and
Europe their profits. Samuel Hop
kins is quoted by Spears as stating
that Rhode Island alone had $50 yes
sells in the slave trade in ITO. In
1887 Hopkins declares that >"this
trade in human species has been the
first wheel Of commerce in Newport,
on which every other movement in
business has depended. :. ;. By it the
inhabitants have gotten most Of their
wealth and rcihes."

stock in the company, which contract
led to deliver 5000 African slaves per
year to the British West Indies. I'm
der the treaty of Assiento March 10,
1913, British traders and American
colonists agreed to furnish slaves to
the Spanish West Indies, who were to
take 1890 Negroes a year for 80 years
In return the Royal Company agreed
Iamong other things to pay quarter
of its profits each to the Spanish and
English kings.
Thus the royal houses in Europe,
ruling by the grace of God, not only
protected the slave trade but profited
directly from it.
FOR time the Portuguese and Span
: ish traders, representing the two
great Catholic countries of Western
Europe, held virtual monopoly on
the slave trade. During this period
the Roman Church as we'll as Euro
pean royalty were directly allied with
the traffic in Africans.

and seven unions. Some of the rea-
sons given for their suppression shed
light on the conditions prevailing I'M
der the Romanoffs. Unions and work
ers' societies were closed by the po-
lice for ~ Advocating strikes, (2)

ton of the First of May, (11) Greet

ma, (12) Convening general member

(13) Collecting money for unspecified

AS a result of this systematic sup
preston by the police the union move
ment declined, and almost disappeared
from sight during the years 1908 to
1911. But in 1912 and 1918, just be-
fore the outbreak of the World War,
revolutionary and strike agitation be-
came more intense. This wave of orr
ganization was met by the govern
ment and the employers with ruth
less measures of repression. Spies and
provocateurs unearthed the secret
meeting places of the unions. Their
members were discharged and black
lists were drawn up. Cossacks rode
into picket lines and demonstrations
just as they had in 1905. From 1914
on, soldiers stood over the workers in
the shops to prevent any organiza-
ton, especially among the industries
manufacturing war materials. The
unions were thus practically wiped
out again and it is stated that there
were not more than 1900 members in
what we would call real labor unions
in all Russia in the winter of 1916
1917.

They collected strike funds and were
capable, under favorable conditions,
of calling widespread strikes. The
mere distribution of leaflet by such
a group often resulted in a city-wide
strike, even though only handful of
workers were members of the secret
organization. These strikes were
frequently effective in forcing the
government to pass some law slightly
reducing the hours of work for wom-
en- and children or in getting other
| legislative crumbs calculated to keep
down discomfort.
Although the government promptly
suppressed any organization that re-
sembled a union, it permitted, under
rigid supervision, the existence of
mutual aid societies, credit organiza-
tions, sick and death benefit societies
and similarly named fraternal bodies.
These organizations were intended to
have no relation to the economic or
political struggles of the masses, and,
if they showed any suspicious activ-.
lily, were Immediately disbanded by
the police. Such societies were par
ticularly popular among the printing
trades.
Mention should also be made Of the
illegal" labor organizations sponsored
! by the police to combat the subver-
! sive, revolutionary influence of I'M
foreground radical groups. The pur-
pose of these police unions was to
keep the attention of the working
class conferred on non-political and
non-economic matters such as mutual
aid and burial benefits. Unfortun-
ately, however, from the point of view
of the czarist government, these bo-
dies frequently became centers for
economic demands and even for
strikes, and although fostered by the
police to offset the influence of revo-
lutionary groups, they ended by tax
ing part in the agitation leading to
the attempted revolution of 1905 and
the labor outbreaks which accom-
panied it.
1905 and After. "
Real unions came into existence
with the uprisings of 1905. They were
formed in practically every large
town and city in the empire. Organ
