Transcript | CONSTRUCTIVE ELEMENTS OF SOCIALISM 33 would be an impossibility for a set of labor aristocrats in a printery, organized upon the principles of Industrial Unionism, to steadily reduce the work day and continually achieve higher wages and less work for themselves, but to calmly witness how workers in the editorial and business offices, machine rooms, etc., of the same industry are compelled to continue to labor under the old, if not deteriorated conditions. The Socialist Industrial Union is the greatest enemy of that small, mercenary spirit bred by craft egotism. The organic form of Socialist Industrial Unions fully dovetails with the Socialist conception of class ethics, which has its origin in the recognition of that truism that the emancipation of the working class must be the work of the workers themselves. That is why the Socialist Industrial Union has inscribed "An Injury to One is an Injury to All" upon its banner. Down with Craft Unionism and craft egotism, up with the Socialist Industrial Union, class solidarity and the emancipation of Labor! |
