 road working masses to compromise with the bourgeoisie, and to enslave the working class to the capitalist class.

The present day strikes of the British workers often end in defeat. The causes of this are: The opposition of the reformist leaders, the isolating of the strike, the scattered conditions of the unions and the strong concentration of capital.

As a consequence of these defeats, intense dissatisfaction has grown up within the labor movement.

The dissatisfied elements in the British labor movement have no definite program, Their composition is extremely varied. Here you have both the progressive labor leaders, opposition minorities of the unions and the broad masses of dissatisfied workers. The latter are still loosely organized and make up the so-called left wing in the British labor movement.

The opposition in the British labor movement is led by adherents of the R. I. L. U. In certain regions—South Wales—our adherents are in the majority.

The R. I. L. U. carried on its work in Great Britain through its bureau in London. In individual industries—-miners, transport workers, metal workers—the work of the opposition is carried on according to a definite program, and is closely connected with the Communist party. Our achievement among the miners has been most substantial.

The work of the R. I. L. U. was only comparatively recently begun in Great Britain. This did not make it possible to form minorities, i e., groups of R. I. L. U. adherents in the various industries and reformist unions. No definite program for all the left wing exists. The work of our adherents in Great Britain is at the present chiefly confined to the British Isles.

For the time being the British reformist unions are the strongholds and support bases of world reformism. The British bourgeoisie, supported by the reformists, is the greatest power of world reaction. Ruthless exploitation of the colonial countries and the utilization by the bourgeoisie of the betterment of the economic situation for their further enrichment, form a considerable menace to the further development of the opposition movement in the British labor unions.

The working masses of Great Britain must strengthen their class organizations and consolidate themselves into a single army of labor for decisive struggle with British and world capitalism. The adherents of the R. I. L. U. must do all that is possible to break the British working masses and the reformist labor unions away from the disintegrating influence of the reformist leaders. This will be possible, if the revolutionists come still closer to the masses, have a clear program of action
