The New York C all in a sympa
tle'tii «irti• • 11 comments upon the
failure of the So< ialist Party antt
the Socialist Labor I’arty to reach
an agr< * nient at the unity confer
ence wlicreliy the.-, could both come
together. It is readily admitted
that it is over the question of the
attitude of the parties towards
trade unionism that the two parties
maintain their open antagonism and
that they both agree to disagree.
i’actionism in radical quarters is
not con lined to the political parties
but to till associations, and we have
in the labor world mote directly the
unfortunate factionism over the
question of craft or iiulustrailism.
Yet these are question of tactics,
all of them, not questions ol prin
ciple and there can he hardly much
question that progress is difficult
if not impossible where this faction
ism ori urs.
\ dual organization on the econ
omic or political field works harm,
and we notice that in the long run
when hard pressed the workers have
been compelled to got together re
gardless of all this plaguing faction
ism.
\Ye have little support for craft
unionism. It is archaic. It is the
rudimentary type unadjusted to
modern industrial surroundings. But
it is not actually harmful to the ex
t ei.t that its existence lias been ac
companied by no gains, and that it
is worse than none at all.
It has achieved considerable g ">;t
tor tiie membership in many orga
nizations and we believe that it i1
thut fact which lias secured lot such
an archaic system ot organization
'h< support which it re • Ives.
ii is true that the officials » t the
nous locals are 11»■ ,r^'r* *■
prolongation ol that system bo
, tuse it prolongs 111;■ ir jobs But tot
;.ii i!iat lluy could no .ft' their | o
lii\ over on the rank atnl file were
tin* rank and tile not satisfied that
tluir belonging to stub an organi
sation was accompanied by sub
stantial benefits, and more benefits
than from any other.
doreovet the fact that organisa
tions have made little perceplibh
gains is hardly a .hist < ritcrion Tlie
lossi S that they averted nr not re
corded. It is a fact that the wage
scale during panics was maintained
better in those crafts which were
organized titan in those which wen
not organized, and they put up long
continued and splendid battles.
The effort to organize dual unions
in camps where the Western Feder
ation of .Miners are now in exist
ence or where the i’nited Mine
Workers is still powerful, upon the
part of the Industrial Workers ot
the World is quite another matter.
These unions are organized upon an
industrial plan. They art1 not with
out their limitations, hut they have
been productive of much benefit to
the workers. Their work is hamp
ered in every way by the creation
of dual organizations and those
fual organizations are not able to
substitute anything better, anything
more permanent or even, as tar as
we can see. anytime just as good.
We have watched many fine
struggles upon the part of the I. W.
W and in tlios. we have always
-(.;d the Western Federation of Min
ers and the United Mine Workers
and other A. F. of I-. organizations
assist with tongue and pen and
poeketbeok.
We observe rig lit now that in t he
liverett struggle the Washington
State Peculation of Labor supports'
the victims of the Verona massacre
in He ir trial. We notice that their
labor press assists in giving it all
the publiety that is possible and
i hat appeals, we presume not vainly
are Issued to the American Federa
tion of Labor organizations.
We do not see that the I. W. W.
in Arizona or elsewhere is going
to substitute a better condition
titan has prevailed there. To create
an attitude of indifference towards
unionisn in that field and to sub
stitute a system which will have but
a short life and a slender hold upon
the minds of the workers, tan do
no good but will reap infinite harm.
There are radicals in the labor
movement and there are reaction
ists. All the radicals are not by a
jugful in the Industrial Workers ol
the World, nor has any but a small
fraction of the fighting been done
in tin labor movement by them. Yet
the plain fact is that all workers
must unite, they must unite in some
organization wherein radical and 10
aetionist can meet and discuss dis
passionately their views and theii
j policies. allowing reason and in
j telligeuee to do the rest.
The solidarity that will come by
that means is the only solidarity
'that will be worth while. To regard
! everyman who is not ready to eat
1 red (ire and to swallow bayonets
and sneeze dynamite as a crook, a
I grafti r and a faker is an insane
, policy.
1 Tin- acts of the man far more than
| his theories tire to be the criterion.
I Some good men have been very con
I
i
servative and some conservative
men have been fakirs and crooivs.
Some of t lit* people can tie fooled
til! the tin*- and it is still a moot
point whether sufficient can be per
manently fooled to secure a major
ity and then there is little hope.
The intolerable vanity and ego
tism of a man who thinks that it is
views are the last word in progress
and must be adopted without rejec
tion by all and sundry is one thing
that will result in keeping the work
ers apart and keep them apart per
manently.
It is in these days that the work
of every person regardless of his at
filiations should be to secure labot
solidarity. Disruption now is sim
ply playing the masters’ game, re
gardless whether it is accomplished
in tin- name of radicalism or safi
aiki insane conservatism.
It is ridiculous to pretend as it
| pretended that such an extensive
; change can over the organizations
affiliated with the American Fedor
jation of Labor that the fights ii
| Colorado. Idaho and other centers is
to he ignored. These things wort
, done under practical!; tlie same or
ganization as exists today. The
changes in its structure are nomin
jal: and it is onlv leaving the miners
land others prone and helpless It
I break up the organization whict
they have got and substitute some
| thing which will not last.
With a practically unlimited fide;
of unskilled workers in the East
craving for organization: with tilt
many industries totally neglected
where the afhliated unons of. the A
F. of L. has made no progress, at
open field inviting the work of 1
\Y. W. organizers, it seems a pool
piece of work to smash up the min
ers organizations in Arizona or else
where in order to establish some
substitute which has never been able
to maintain its hold upon the rank
and tile anywhere- -anywhere at an;
time.
We believe in industrial union
ism. We could subscribe heartily
to the principles of the I. W. W. in
this regard. Rut the fact remains
that radicalism or conservatism
will have to adjust its pace not to
the opinion ot the leaders ami the
Moses, out of the rank and file.
The fact too is worthy of note,
that many labor papers founded or
owned by unions under the A. F. 01
L. will more readily he found to
subject their organization and its
leaders to free and untrammelled
criticism than will the papers owned
by the Industrial Workers of the
World. They live in an atmosphere
of such super-excellent radicalism
that all else is vile in comparison.
