Comrade Fosters whole conception question of social

Another Fosters conception is the following:

This is absurd position. Rehabilitation

BITTELMAN THE RIGHT sEcTARIAN
comrade Btteman flor whom cOmrad Foster recently
declared himself to be but humble worker vneyard
s mistakes many respects similar to comrade Fosters when
he undertakes to criticize Fosters
sharply enough from the old line of the Opposition
maintains Furthermore Comrade Bitteman pile
lot of other kinds of mistakes. Despite theological split
Bitteman and Foster still like complementary supple
For Comrade Foster in a rapid and full
decline and the whole future crowded with
Foster sees only bourgeois reformm and fails social
ism. Bman the other Bittelman Of
the old line but Bteman of the ne) bourgeois
unionism into consideration only the sole
agency of bourgeois corruption menacng the working class
comrade Foster makes very Right he
mistakes the merging of the A. of with apparatus
big b0urges to be the disappearance of the American Federation
of Labor The Right wing ornaton of Comade
clearly when he concludes that this
Federation of Labor into dangerous poisonous
reormsm the extinction of the A. F. of
social reformsm. The fact that the A. F. merge
of the big bourgeosie disappear
ing becoming extinct
Comrade Bittelman the other hand fails very
significant merging going with the rapid welding
apparatus of the A. F. of L. and the direct
geoise.
Comade Foster fascinated by his discovery
socaled capitalist efficiency socialism, refuses anything
else Coade Bittelman the other
complex of bourgeois schemes welfare efficiency
organizations which correctly
election platform of our Party.
Cmade Foster the A. f. L. only
the bourgeoe but does that the specific
labor organization Comade
fight the pacifm of the A. of and fails completely
ngot policy of this soaed labor organization which
of the important active preparation
of capitalism
Comrade Foster the future for bourgeois reformsm
full Of dynamic possibilities, although the
the decline of social reformism Comade Btemn the other
hand the A. of L. static refuses
changes in the social function of the A. F. of L.
The struggle between Foster and Bittelman struggle
deviation against another deviation Because Of habtua
unprncpedness of all formations of this opposition
of the ecccism of BOTH theological differences
sariy the than the
opposing sides Of the Opposition find unity struggle
against the Central Committee the
