THE LABOUR MOVEMENT.
Sir,—Despite what may bo said to the contrary, you are quite Tight in your criticism of the two Labour organisations. In the last analysis, both stand for Socialism—stark, ■ staring, and red-eyed. Hoth are prepared to resort to the general strike a la syndicalism. Both are propared to niako torches of. agreements. Both organisations have a proviso that no strike shall bo called • unless ratified by a referendum vote of those affected. If the vote is in the affirmative, away go agreements, solemn promises to respect them notwithstanding. What then, is the dilference? Just this: The United Labour group do-not always say what they moan, being, afraid to scare away votes. The t'ederatibnists, being less diplomatic and more honest, give expression to the truth in an alarmingly frank manner.. At bottom, they are, as you very rightly observe, the same.—l am, etc., * ~„ OXK WHO KNOWS. May I, 1912.
