Ford (In The Ihhui'. Kll/abi 111, N.J.) what in the greatest need of the Socialist movement today? Ask iiiix i[Ui'Htii>u of any Boclallßl and he will glvo yon but one. answer. The great- Ml iiiu'il of iho BOOlallll movement to da] in ORGANIZATION. The moat noticeable thine. in the Socialist move ment it* the absolute luck of organisa tion. Tills lack of organization Is ap palling, and even though vie recog nise our own \veiiknenH, yel we nro doing nothing to remedy It. I In order to achieve sucoess In any thing wo set out to accomplish we list have ii weapon. The most ef fective weapon which the labor union can use on the economic field In or ganization. The most effective weapon which the Socialist party can use on the political field la organization. The Industrial organisations on the eco nomic field and the Socialist party or ganizations on the political field are the Immediate means by which we work to establish the Industrial com monwealth, The progress that is made upon these two fields depends upon the EFFICIENCY OF OUR ORGANI ZATION. The sooner we realize, and then net upon the realization, that the progress of our movement keeps pace with the efficiency of our organiza tion, the sooner will the Socialist movement In the United States at tain success Our need just now is for men and women who can lay out 8 program of work and see Ibat it is carried out; for men and women to organize the work of systematic literature distri bution; for men and women to organ ize the work of a poll and survey; in short, for men and women who can carry on this systematic work of our organization, for it is the systematic work that counts. In all parts of the country the work of our movement is being carried on in a haphazard fashion. Our cam paigns are haphazard. Our collection of dues is haphazard. The Socialist movement loses annually thousands .of dollars through our careless and unsystematic method of dues collec | tion. We have no method of collect i ing campaign funds from sympathiz ers. In fact, our whole propaganda has for the most part been carried on in an unorganized, unsystematic man ner. OUR GREAT TASK This is the task of the Socialist - movement before it can attain suc cess. We have got to whip Into shape an organization that will compete with the organizations of the capital ist class. We have got to train our- Belves In methods of organization be ive can successfully combat the '■■mil organizations of the capi talist eiass which Its wealth and pow i r have bei n able to buy. so lall ti THE DIFFERENCE I (Prom ihe Weekly Kansas City Star) Labor and Socialists To the Star: Whai is the differ ( nee betwei n the Vmerlcan Pi dera tiou o! Labor and the Socialists? - si, 'ii" Read* r, The American Federation of Labor is a labor union, The Socialists arc * a political party. The American Federation of Labor is a present daj opportunist organiza tion thai docs business In a practical woi X a day world where the wai • : tern Is in use 1 The Socialists il<j nut believe In the wa^e system ami are chiefly Interest ed in Its overthrow. The American Federation of Labor lie-lie es in organizing the working men Into unions, bo thai by "collec tive bargaining" Improvements can constantly be made In lncrea id vages, reduced hours and changing conditions, until, in thi fullness of time the workers shall get the tull product of their toil, The Socialists believe the labor movement Bhould become a political party, and being a. worklngman'a party i( would he thi Socialist partyfi and by lining its political strength pass lav s a bolli hing rent, Interest and profit and usher in the "co-opera tive i ominous-, ealtll." The American Federation of Labor is a voluntary, democratic organl i lion ihat believes the workers Bhould work out linn- own salvation, group ing themselves as tiny best see the need, either in craft or i^ade vi or iii Industrial unions, as they |ire \. r 'The Socialif i !" l/ieve ii i^ neces tor the v, or! ■ i formed in THE NORTHWEST WORKER are generally bankrupt In both time and money, There Is only one thing In which we excel the capitalist class. We have the numbers. The task for us Is to utilize those numbers in the most effective manner. In order to make the wort of the individual light esl we most build our organisation on many shoulders, that Ih. we rmist divide ami specialize I lie work. We may as well recognize right here and now that it will not be ii beggard working class that will attain the Co operative Commonwealth; not ■ mot ly crowd of men and women thrown by evolution into a system of society which we call Socialism, but it will bi> an organized body of men and women who know what they want | and bow to get it. ami who know hOW lo Organise themselves for the attainment of their goal. A GUIDED EVOLUTION n is about time thai we Socialists realized thai evolution does not run wild, thai evolution lias been guided and directed by the capitalist class. We may as well wake up to the fad thai from now on we must build up an organisation, not only to bring about our social order, but to TAKE CARE OF rr WHEN WE GET IT. The local or organization that allows its members to sit in headquarters, smoke their pipes and debate as to how soon the Co-operative Common wealth will arrive Ik not the organiza tion that win accomplish the downfall of capitalism. Not an uncommon saying among Socialists is, that Socialism in the next step in society, that evolution! will bring us from .capitalism to So-{ cialism. Well, don't be too sure of it. There is just as good authority' in the saying that the nexl step in! society will be a short stage of in-1 dust rial despotism. In fact, taking Into consideration the present Euro pean war. the preparedness propa ganda in the United States and the uncertain effect which the war will have on labor conditions generally, the prospects of such a stage of in dustrial despotism are good, or lit ' erally speaking, bad. Yes, Socialism may bo hastened or retarded by the blind, Irresistible forces, just as the invention of ma chinery hastened the dissolution of feudalism, but Socialism may also be hastened or retarded by the amount of power which organization alone can Rive us, in keeping evolution in its proper channels. Organization is the problem that ; faces the Socialist movement and un til we have organization we will nev ;er have power. Until we can success l fully manage our own organization we ; will never be given charge of a city, ; state or nation, and the sooner we ! become convinced of thnt fact and | thsn put our convictions into action, i the sooner will we achieve success.
