RENEWED ATTACK
BRITISH COMMUNISTS
STRONG BID FOR POWER
(Elec. Tul. Copyright—United Truss Assn.) LONDON, Nov. 22.
The Times’ Labor correspondent says that the Communists are organising a movement to capture the leadership _ot the trades unions, reverting to tactics which previously failed. The leaders’ latest orders urge the party to build a powerful revolutionary opposition and lead a mass movement. Thcv declare that they are now sweeping Britain, which has been their policy since January, but has only recently been accepted owing to strong opposition. It is admittedly a dangerous course for a small party, as_ it is likely to lead to compromises. Nevertheless, official Communism, believing or pretending to believe that the workers are approaching a revolutionary mood, Halters itself that it can “develop a broad fighting front, proving that strikes and mass lights are the only practical way of smashing the influence of the reformist leaders.”
The correspondent adds that the Communists are only troublesome in a few unions, while their activities are moro united in a few others.
