AS WE have seen, the new unionism fought its first battle within the general movement over the legal eight-hour day.

This question was of con- siderable international importance, having been declared a primary slogan by the 1889 Paris Congress at which the International (the Second Inter- Socialist or national) was reconstituted.

The demand for the eight- hour day was the rallying call for London's first May Day (in 1890) when 200,000 paraded through Hyde Park, an impressive show of strength by the new union- ism. Engels, watching the demon- stration, proclaimed: 'On 4, 1890, the may English working class joined the great international up in The grandchildren army. • Chartists of the are entering the line of battle! As a result of the successful May Day (officially opposed by both the Social Democratic Federation and 'the London Trades Council, which was dominated by the representa- tives of the old skilled unions) "The Legal Eight Hours and League' International Labour was established, with Edward Aveling as secretary. The of the programme League demanded the legal enforcement™of the eight-hour day, as decided by the Paris Congress, and the creation of an independent Labour Party with its own candidates at the elections wherever there were chances of success. Tom Mann was of the one leading propagandists for the League, which gained wide- spread support. The gaswork- were also to the fore and ers their Britain report on pre- sented the Brussels Con- to gress of the International was considered one of the best.

ENGELS

Engels and his followers find a road struggled to to the forces represented in the new unionism. He bluntly described Elea- 'the boss' of the nor Marx as gasworkers whose rules were drafted Edward by Aveling. Engels came into bitter con- flict with the continuing sec- tarianism of the

These, carried on the cast- ing vote of the chairman, David Holmes, a leader of the Cotton Weavers and strong Lib-Lab supporter, decided to limit delegates to those who were either working at their trade or were full-time union officials (thus excluding Hardie and others) to limit member- ship of Congress to trade societies (thus excluding the trades councils who had been instrumental in establishing the Congress) and to institute of block a system voting, which gave power to the large unions, particularly the miners and cotton workers.

CHALLENGE

Naturally enough the chal- lenge of the new unionism was not taken lying down by the employers. Throughout the decade of the 1890s and well into the 20th century, a hos- tility to trade unionism, parti- cularly to the 'new unionism' developed amongst the capital- ist class which bordered on the hysterical. It found expression in the contemporary press, in the increasing intervention of the police in strikes and above all in adverse judgements against the unions in the courts.

The final point of these attacks came with the Taff-

ETER JEFFRIES

In the first place, the indi- vidual is subordinated to the class; in the second place, the class desires to obtain the whole of the profits which are derived from capital and labour combined. In other words it desires to confiscate capital.'

It was in this period that a influential employers body of combined to form the Employ- ers' Parliamentary Council, a bitterly anti-union organiza- tion, which subsidized a strike- breaking body called the Free Labour Association, headed by renegade trade unionist a William Collison.

LEGISLATION

significantly, More the Council also campaigned for the promotion of new anti- union legislation. It received encouragement from the courts which increasingly handed down • decisions in cases of picketing or boycott of non- union firms, which made the apparently secure legal status the unions extremely uncertain and hazardous. It was largely this interven- tion from the capitalist state, culminating in the Taff-Vale case (in which the courts ruled that the unions were liable for losses incurred by an employer as a result of strike action) which was the forcing house for decisive political changes in the working class. With the formation of the Labour Representation Com- mittee in 1900 the tradition of the past 50 years, in which the working class had relied upon Liberal Party, were broken. The Independent Labour Party, established in 1893, was an important step in the crea- tion of this new Labour Party (the LRC changed its name in 1906 and became the Labour Party). It is significant that the base for the ILP came largely from the textile areas of York- shire, which before the new unionism had remained largely unorganized. Tuesday July 7, 1970 Engels, while fully con- scious of the limitations of the ILP leaders, imbued as many of them were with liberalism and religion, saw in this body an important step in the development of a mass work- ing-class party for which he had consistently campaigned since the 1880s. Again the sectarianism of the SDF kept it away from this important development.

It is perfectly clear', wrote Engels to Sorge in January 1893, 'that in the given circum- stances people like Keir Har- die, Shaw Maxwell and others following their personal are and accessory aims. But the danger in that lessens as the party itself takes on stronger and more mass char- acter. . • • In the last years socialism in the industrial cen- tres has got deeply into the masses and I expect that these very will discipline masses their leaders.' Engels' hopes proved too sanguine. His death in 1895 was a grievous blow to the develop- ing Marxist movement fol- lowed, as it was, by the tragic end of Eleanor Marx in 1898.

The ILP, with no effective challenge from the SDF leader, remained dominated by the opportunism of its leadership.

SECRET DEALS

The emergence of the LRC saw its leaders, notably Ram- say MacDonald, making secret deals with the Liberals to avoid clashes with the latter in elections and prevent the full strength of the working class being realized. In this MacDonald and company were assisted by the Fabians, who actually opposed the creation of the Labour Party. They wanted to see a con- tinuing alliance between the leaders of the labour move- ment and the Liberal Party and • only joined the Labour Party once they saw that the move- ment was in danger of by- passing them. Ramsey Macdonald Powerful though the move- ment which had created the Labour Party had been, under.

the grip of MacDonald and his friends it degenerated in the years after 1900 into little more than an appendage of the Liberal Party in parliament.

It was largely in response to its complete ineffectiveness as a parliamentary force in the early years of the century that the working class under the influence of syndicalism, began to turn away from politics and towards the trade unions as vehicles for the social revolu- tion. • Our last article will be concerned with the lessons of this period.
