FIGHT AGAINST RIGHT POLICIES IN TRADE UNION
WORK
WORK.

s. The fight against the menace
of Right wing policies has been con-
Quoted by the Central Committee
with special vigor in the industrial
work. For instance, the fight
against united fronts from on top
with reactionary trade union bu-
reaucrats. We have in mind such
a glazing case as the proposal of
outstanding leaders of the Opposi-
ton as Browder and tombstone, to
the effect that the policy Of the
Communist fraction in the Interna
tional Ladies Garment Workers
Union, at the end of 1925, should
have been:
ITO endorse the maneuver at
the Convention q. l.. G. w w. of
trying to swing the Sigman forces
behind the candidacy of Lyman
LEFT wing candidate) for presi-
dent of the I. L. G. w. U. on the
basis Of our forces getting a ma
jority of the General Executive
Board, and a fight for proper
tional representation, general am
nesty for expelled members)
and as many other of our planks
as possible in the Left wing pro-
gram. That in the whole cam
paign from now on until the con-
vention and afterwards, our COM
rades be instructed to carry on
the sharpest criticism and expos
ure of Sigman, as well as Bres-
lauer."
Fortunately for the Party, it did
not entertain such illusions about
Sigman, even in 1925, as the Oppo-
sition did.
9. For years the Opposition
hammered away at the Central Ex-
ecutive Committee, that it is in ia
vor of dual unionism. For example,
in confidential document presented
to the Comintern in 1926 by Com
rades Foster and Bittelman, entitled
weaknesses Of the Present Central
Executive Committee Of the Work
ers (Communist) Party in Trade
Union Work." we find on page 6,
the following enlightening COM
ment:
"In the textile industry, where
the workers are in state of TO-
ment over repeated wage cuts, the
previous C. E. C. of the Party
(present Opposition) through the
T. U. E. L., put into effect a pol
icy Of bringing together the many
unions into united front commit
tees for common struggle against
the employers. The present c. E. G.

II. The Party under it's present
leadership, has been among the
first sections of the Communist In
ternational in combating deviations
from the feminist line. The Amer
lean Trotskyists, Cannon, Eastman,
Lore, have denounced the present
leadership of the Party as the
American banner bearer of the
fight against international Trotsky-
ism. Our Party has pursued an ener-
getic policy in the struggle against
Brandler and Thalheimer and the
other Right wingers and conciliators
in the German Party. In the Fifth
Plenum of the Comintern, the COM
rades representing the viewpoint
now held by the Majority of the
Party were amongst the most ag-
gressive in the struggle against
Brandler, Thalheimer, Bubnik and
the Trotskyist deviators from the
feminist line. Our Central Com
mittee gave prompt and energetic
endorsement to the struggle of the
Central Committee of the CPSU
against the Right danger. The
Right wingers and the conciliators
in the Communist Party of Ger
many, were repeatedly sharply con-
demned by the Central Committee.
IL. One of the strongest sources
of Right wing errors, one of the
most redoubtable centers of oppor-
tunism in our Party, has been the
leadership of the Finnish Fedora
ton in the days before the Fourth
National Convention (1925). The

him, Swabeck, already three years
ago there was an anti-thesis be-
tween the proletarian Russian Rev.
olution and the development of a
mass Communist Party in the United
States.
And when Comrade Foster further
voiced pessirism in his overestima-
ton Of the strength of American
imperialism and the power of the
trade union bureaucracy and labor
aristocraey, the Central Committee
spoke firmly and clearly. In the
July, 1926, Workers Monthly, Com
rade Foster declared in his article
entitled "Trade Union Capitalism:
Given with their present
meager financial resources, which
they use unscrupulously to defeat
democracy in the unions, the
trade union bureaucrats are ex-
ceedingly difficult to replace. But
once they get the resources of a
whole series Of trade union cap
italist institutions behind them,
they will become virtually irwin
chile.
"The savings (workers') exist,
Their total is enormous and they
are full of dynamic possibilities"
(Our emphasis.)
Of course the Central Committee
rejected this opportunist, pessimis-
tic conception of the Opposition.
The policy of the Party in the trade
union field has shown, especially in
our various big struggles of recent
date, that the above conception is
dangerously false and could lead
only to the most harmful results for
our Party, if translated into action.

4. The Party has begun in earn
est its campaign to organize the un-
organized. In this basic task we
have not restricted ourselves to
propaganda, but have engaged in
actual work. The comrades will re-
call the struggle in the December,
1925, Plenum, by Comrades Brow
der ard tombstone, against the de-
cision of the Central Committee to
organize the new union in Passaic
over the heads of MacMahon and
other reactionary trade union bu-
Ieaucrats.

We have mentioned the dominant
