COUNCIL MEETING OF THE

damental examination of the tactics of the rev.
dictionary unions and opposition groups in the
most important strike struggles of the country,
how far the directives of the Fifth Congress on
the leadership of the economic struggles have
been rightly carried out. Special attention should
be paid to the experiences of the application OF
the revolutionary united front tactics. The state
of our organization should be closely investi-
gated with special consideration of manifesto
tons of fluctuations. The reasons for the weak
nesses in our work in the hostile and, before all,
in the reformist trade unions. The weak spots
in the work among the unemployed should be
uncovered and also the positive achievements of
our work should be shown, special care being
taken in both these points. Investigation should
also be made in the work of the Intercoms, the
international preparation and leadership of the
struggles, the connections between the revolu-
tionary unions and industrial groups with the
Intercons. The press of the industrial groups
must devote special attention to these quotations.
Attention In Press.
81 The whole of the trade union and factory
press has to devote the greatest attention to the
organization OF the struggle against the prepare
tons for an imperialist war and intervention in
connection with the work in the factories and
the work of the Intercoms
y What is demanded from the press is not
simply to place on record facts of positive or
negative nature in the domain of the work and
struggle Of the revolutionary unions, but the
main thing is that the causes Of these successes
or failings should be shown and also the ways
and means whereby the failings are to be obvi-
ated in future and how the experiences of the
achievements may be taken advantage of in fu-
tre struggles.
81 A reading of the issues of the trade union
papers and journals during the last months
shows that the press has not yet so far been mo-
bilized for the preparations of the Session. This
circumstance compels the Secretariat of the
RIL.U. to remind the revolutionary trade union
organizations of the necessity to place at once
the trade union press and the factory papers in
the service of the preparations of the session and
also to draw the worker correspondents in the
factories especially in the larger ones and in
the most important branches of industry, into
the participation in the discussions on the vari-
Gus questions standing before the session.
81 The leading organs are responsible for the
quickest expansion in the campaign of prepara-
ton for the session.

THE capitalists either poke fun at fraterniza-
ton, or wrathfully attack it with lies and
caiumny, reducing it all to deception" prac-
ticed by the Germans upon the Russians; they
threaten-through their generals and officers
TO punish severely all those guilty of frater-
nization
From the point of view of safeguarding the
'.-e.4 property right" of capital and profits,
t'3 t~'cy Of the capitalists is quite sound
;tesd. in order that the proletarian Socialist
rsyelption be crushed at its very inception, it
IS necessary to regard determination in the
light in which the capitalists regard it.
The class-conscious workers and the vast
rngsges of emi-proletarians and poor peas
ants who guided by the true instinct Of OPP
pressed classes, follow in the step of class
corscious workers, regard determination with
the deepest sympathy. 1t is obvious that this
road leads not to the capitalist governments,
rot to harmony with them, but, on the con-
trsry, it leads against them. It is obvious that
ftis road develors strengthens, consolidates
'4te feeling of brotherly confidence among
~ workers Of various countries. 1t is OBJ
-f7,ts that tl'is road is beginning to undermine
TIE damnable discipline of the barrsck pris-
ec d'9cipre requiring the absolute sub

tro re,olu onary initiative of the masses,
that il Is the awakening of the conscience,
the mind. the courage of the oppressed c'2ss-
es. that it is. in other words one of the lir's
in the chain Of steps leading towards the
Socialist proletarian revolution.

y The Sections of the RIL.U. and their trade

task of the energetic and basic preparation for
the session of the Central Council. The whole Of
the trade union press must now be modified for
the preparation OF the session and must consider
this preparation as its storm task 1t would be
advisable to arrange in the press a regular col

Why the Gap?
81 The study and the appraisenent of the ex-
neriences Of the great economic struggles since
effectively favorable position and the organiza-
tional weakness OF the revolutionary unions and
the Red Trade Union Opposition in reformist
unions, the quite insufficient work in the re-
fornist and hostile unions, the inadequacy and
weakness of the work among the unemployed,
the characterization Of the struggle; these
sre the most important questions which will be
placed in the centre OF the deliberations.
- 1t is necessary that the trade union press
and the whole of the factory press, should, un-
der the leadership of the sections of the R.T.UO,
carry on a wide discussion in which the worker
correspondents from the factories and labor ex-
changes should be strongly drawn in.
Concrete Tasks.
Ii will be found advisable that the main points
of the discussions should be worked out by the
central leadership of the R.T.U.O and with it
entirely concrete tasks should be placed before
the unions the industrial groups, and the fac
tories and namely, that concrete questions
should be formulated for the answer of which
the workers should be modified.

BY the Associated Press.
The suggestion that the House draft
Calvin Coolidge to succeed Speaker
Longworth was asSailed today by Mrs.
Mary r Norton, Democrat, of New Jer-
sey, dean of women Representatives in
Congress.
"It would be a confession of weakness
en- the part Of the Republicans of the
House to be obliged to go outside their
membership for a candidate for the
speakership," Mrs Norton said. THE
suggestion should be resented by Demo-
Gratis and Republicans alike"
Representative Royal c. Johnson, Re-
publican, of South Dakota. was the
first to venture the opinion an outsider
should be brought in to avoid a threat
ened deadlock.
MY observation as a minority men,
Der leads me to believe there are many
members on the opposite side of the
House who could ill the Speakers chair
with ability Mrs. Norton commented.
She mentioned Representatives Beck of
Pennsylvania, Smell of New York,
Bachrach and Lehlbach CT New Jersey
and Tilson of Connecticut.
However, 1 believe the Republicans
will be spared the worry of selecting or
drafting a Speaker" she added. From
present indications the Democrats will
organize the House, in which case we
shall have no difficulty in selecting a
man Of courage and ability to lead us"
