The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1929-08-31
(Continued)

All of these campaigns while
based on the elementary concrete
demands of the workers must be
connected with the living questions
of the day: Gastonia, the war dam
ger, the defence of the Soviet Union,
naturalization, speed-up, etc. These
are the everyday problems of the
workers, and are also part of war
danger. The united front between
President Atterbury of the Pennsyl-
vania railroad and Wharton, presi-
dent of the Machinists' Union, to
compel all the workers on that road,
is understood by thousands of the
workers as sellout but it is also
part of the war preparation in
line with the proposals before con-
gress to organize industries in times
of peace so it can be placed on a
new basis without the confusions
caused in the last world war, with
the workers enrolled in an organiza-
ton that is part of the war ma
chinery. 1t is this political analysis
and class understanding that makes
all the difference between the old
and the new unions. Class war and
imperialist war are on the order of
the day. Both spring from unsolv-
able capitalist contradiction, They
are linked up in the most elementary
demands of the workers and the
workers can and will understand this
fundamental if it is placed before
them in connections with their de-
mands in industrial language.
New Unions Gaining.
In these campaigns for the organ
ization of the unorganized into new
unions, the N. T. w. u, the N.M.W
and the N. IT, w. I. U. play an i'm
portant role, not merely in the cam
paign to organize their particular
industry or as an incentive to work
ers of other industries but because
of their pioneer experience which
will be an invaluable experience fo1
the new unions that will follow. AL
though only a little more than a
year in existance they are becoming
steeled in the struggle.
However, the question that is not
yet understood is the question OF
shop comm. tees. Experience has
proven to us that the only way tc
organize a class conscious union is
to base it on the factory unit basis
but the difficulty is to break from
the old craft and resident basis ano

functions of shop committee. Ir
this way we are yet in the expert.
mental stage.
Shop Committees.
We cannot call everything we or,
ganize in factory a shop commit
tee. This error we fall into quite
frequently. We organize let u.
say, 80 workers in the packing
houses with no two workers in thu
same shop and we call it a shoI
committee. This is merely an ele
mentary organizational committee
Or, in a more narrow sense we or
ganize, say, five workers in Armour
& Co. scattered all over the plant

ing little, if aything, about eacl

Unorganized--- Main Problem

shop committee although they are
the basis from which shop commit
tees can be built.
In conducting campaigns to organ
ize the unorganized, having shop
committees as the basic units of the
new unions, we must also have a
perspective of the tasks of shop
committees, their role and their
function. The shop committee is the
highest form of trade union organ
ization and we must not confuse it
with the first steps, with the ele-
mentary and temporarily formed
committees. The organizing of shop
committees may require number
of preliminary steps. The function
ing of shop committee marks the
end of these preliminary steps, eX-
presses the, confidence and the will
Of the workers and is their organ
lied voice.
We can also have shop committees
IN elementary form. By that l
mean number of workers in one
department in big factory, carry
ing on a campaign for the workers
demands, with the large majority of
the workers still apathetic and not
participating in the formulation of
these demands. The ultimate aim,
however, is the forming of shop
committees which include the ma
jority of the workers and whose
leaders and spokesman have been
elected by the workers, who will
fight for the everyday demands of
the workers at their instruction and
with the support of the workers in
volved. The perfection of shop COM
mittees during this period will I'M
doubtedly only take place during
strike struggle, because the employ
ers will never allow us to make
elaborate ornagizational strike prep
arations. However, it is within the
realm of possibility that in some
cases we will be able to build num-
Der of functioning shop committees
in their initial stages before lock-
outs or strike struggles take place
and we must have fairly good con-
ception of what we mean when we
start to organize shop committees
and must not confuse them with the
crude organizational first steps of
the workers.
The basic local union, or shop
committee, is the factory commit
tee, which includes all the workers
in the auto factory, or group of
factories in a given locality, be-
longing to the same corporation and
building the same model car, Ford
for example. However, 100000
workers cannot meet and function as
a unit so the necessary subdivision

mittees are the real membership

would be followed in general fac

The same process would be followed
in linking up city and nationwide
units into aacity cou,cil Of auto fac
