LENIN ON ORGANIZATION 
a Trade Union Workers’ Organization” of October, 
1900. The fundamental error contained in both 
these statutes is that they give a detailed formula- 
tion of a wide workers’ organization and confuse 
the latter with the organization of revolutionaries. 
Let us take the second statutes since it is worked 
out at greater length. The body of it consists of 
fifty-two paragraphs: Twenty-three paragraphs 
deal with structure, the method of conducting busi- 
ness, and the competence of the “workers’ circles,” 
which are to be organized in every factory (“Not 
more than ten persons”) and which elect “central 
(factory) groups.” ‘The central group,” paragraph 
2 runs, “watches all that takes place in its factory 
or workshop and keeps a record of events” . ... 
“The central group gives a monthly report to the 
contributors on the state of the funds” (§17) ete. 
Ten paragraphs are devoted to the “district organ- 
ization” and nineteen, to the highly complex con- 
nection between the “Committee of the Workers’ 
Organizations” and the “Committee of the Peters- 
burg Fighting Union” (elected by each district and 
by the “executive groups”’—“groups of propagan- 
dists for maintaining contact with the provinces 
and with foreign countries and for managing stores, 
bublications and funds”). 
In respect of the economic struggle of the work- 
€rs, Social Democracy—“executive groups”! It 
Would be difficult to demonstrate more clearly how 
far the ideas of the economists on the question of 
trade unionism deviate from Social Democracy,
