Writes on Social Conduct of Negro and White Workers To the DAILY WORKER: The capitalist class and their agents do everything possible to prevent social contact between Negro and white workers. The whole jimcrow and segregation system of the southern states and the anti-intermarriage laws are the weapon by which the crafty southern capitalists keep the ae and white workers hopelessly divided. In no southern state can Negro and white workers legally meet to- gether in the same hall, theatre or park, neither can they ride together on trains, street cars nor busses, and for a Negro and white person in the south to be legally married, is out of the question. By the above methods and many others, the idea is conveyed to the southern white workers that all Negroes are their inferiors and are not fit to mix or associate with them. The white. southern. workers. be- lieve every lie printed in the capital- ist ‘ig oie concerning the Negro, and will form into mobs and lynch Ne- groes for any imaginary crime. The southern ruling class are tickled to death for this state of af- fairs, because they can rob and ex- ploit both Negro and white workers to their hearts content, and know that a united front of the black and white workers is impossible. However, the capitalist planter class of the south care no more for the ignorant white workers of the south than they do for the black. White unionists and labor organizers are also lynched, shot and terrorized by the hired thugs of the southern capitalists. White children under 15 years of| b, age, are forced to toil in the cotton mills at starvation wages. Altho the capitalist legislatures pass laws prohibiting blacks and whites from legally marrying, the so-called south- ern gentlemen have produced four million children by Negro women. In spite of the present gloomy condition in the south, I truly be- lieve that the southern white work- ers will soon come to their senses, and in place of forming mobs and lynching Negroes at the behest of their white exploiters, they will clasp the hand of their Negro brother workers and together fight their real enemy, the capitalist class. When this condition comes about, the first nail will have been driven into the coffin, now prepared to re- ceive the half dead body of capital- ism.—Gordon W.

Workers Party of America 1009 N. State St, Chieago, Til. I aE Hunchakist Party was considered by the Executive Committee of the Communist International on December 27th. After a full discussion of the whole problem of bringing these Armenian workers into the organized Communist move- ment of the Party, the Execu- tive Committee of the Com- munist International adopted the following decision: “To send a telegram to the Amer- fean Workers Party demanding that Comrade Sunarin with the whole opposition group return into the ranks of the Workers Party and await the instructions of th; EB. C. C. 1, which are being sen imme- diately. “b) While approving the. steps taken by the American Workers Party for the unification of the rev- olutionary. Communist elements and for bringing them into the ranks of the Workers Patry, to insist’ that after the Congress .of the Workers Party in December, 1923, an Armen- ian Conference be convened with the object of carrying out the recom- mendations of the E. C, C. I. laid down in the resolution of the Pre- conference the title ‘ARMENIAN SECTION OF THE WORKERS PARTY’ ‘must be definitely adopted. _“(c) Considering that the conces- sions made by the Workers Party in the question of the Armenian pa- per were intended to make the pro- cess of unification as smooth as possible, to emphasize the point that the management of this paper must be at present under the political con- trol of the Workers Party and that only reliable comrades be admitted to the editorial staff of the paper.” The Convention of the Armenian section has been called by the C. E. C. of the Workers Party for en- dorsement of the Bureau of the Ar- menian Federation, for February 22, in Boston, and it is expected that at this Convention a solid united organization of Armenian Commun- ists will be brought into existence as the ARMENIAN SECTION OF THE sidium in February, 1923., At this WORKERS PARTY. THE JUNIOR GROUPS AND THE CAPITALIST PUBLIC SCHOOL. Article No. IX. In the capitalist Public School the child is nothing, the teacher everything. The school is based upon the authority of the teacher. The child must remain silent until it is ad- dressed; it must listen atten- tively while the teacher speaks; it must accept without protest every punishment and every task given it. In the capitalist school the teacher is a god, furnished at times with a rod and a note book, the em- bodiment of knowledge and power—and hence a tyrant. The teacher is under the con- trol of the principal, the prin- cipal under the superintendent, the superintendent under the school board, and thus up to the Secretary of the Interior. A-whole pyramid of gods and demi-gods towers over the self to be as insignificant and small as a grain of sand on the seashore. Woe to the child who has a strong will! Will is a sin against the holy order. Even tho the teacher may be wrong, the child dare not be right, because this would weaken the authority of the teacher. A systematized cur- riculum is impossible without authority. And it is just this tend to undermine. GWatch for Article No. 10, “Can a Child Be a Fighter?”’) BEDTIME STORY By ROLAND QUILLAN. Once upon a time, in fact dear children, the time of jazz hurry and anana songs, when the great democrat party was named after a donkey, a man stepped out from the wilds of the west to announce him- self the champion of progressivism and humanity. He stood for every thing that was good, so he said, ‘with special reference to the poor and downtrodden. He stood for these things vigorously every year before the election. When the election was over and he had a berth with a spit- toon in congress—well, dear listen- ers, that was another story, not to be told before bedtime. But, little ‘ones, do not be too hasty to judge. Always remember the motto of the of “policy is the best pol- icy,” and, as nothing and nothing equal nothing, so politicians will al- ‘ways be politicians, It was at this time, dear chfldren, that the two great financial groups, the eastern bankers and the mid- ‘western industrialists, had a mild controversy. The wicked bankers desired our country to get in the League of Nations to make their loans, while the industrial my children, were not so much in- terested, Our hero politician from the golden west, with his old-fash- ioned glasses and ideas, belonged to the group of mid-western industrial- ists. He was a good agent and vigorously fought with weighty words the foreign entanglements of bigtien COLUMI ay. | j the League of Nations. For this service, children, the pa- pers of the industrialists gave him the title of “Progressive.” In modern slang, dear children, he got away with it until the working people, who hitherto had no means to give full expression to their views, started a daily peper of their own. Then it was, little ones, that the record of this western politician was examined, weighed, published and, in the opinion of working people, was sadly found to be want- ing. It is this that proves, dear children, that the greatest weapon the working people can have is their own working class daily paper. So, dear children, to be, well in- formed, please subscribe to the Young Worker and the Young Com- rade, Get unity thru the Labor Party!

The regular yearly meeting of the Trade Union. Educational League held last night heard a detailed re- port of the organization activities for the past year. The report showed splendid progress in every branch of the League’s work. The Building Trades section re- ported an increase in circulation of their paper—The Progressive Build- ing Trades Worker—to approximate- ly ten thousand copies, The Metal Trades section reported a noticeable slackening in employ- ment and union halls filled with job- less mechanics necessitating an ap- peal for financial assistance to the international offices and for an in- vestigation into the serious situa- tion in Chicago, A new group of Jewelry Workers has been added to the Metal Trades section. The delegate from the Needle Trades section, I. Davidson, gave new information on the situation in the Ladies’ Garment Workers’ union and the fight against Sigman Perl- stein and their expulsion program. The situation in the Amalgamated Clothing Workers, he said, is more favorable for the militants. The success of the official organ of this group—The Needle Trades} Worker—is testimony to the prog-| ress made in this industry. | Officers for Year. | Earl Browder, of the Labor Her- ald staff, was elected chairman for | the ensuing term; Walt Carmon, sec- retary and literature agent; Overgaard, organizer. Phil Aron- berg was elected to the executive board for the Needle Trades; D. E. Early for the Food Trades, with one other board member to be chosen from each of the Metal, Printing and Building Trade sections. Earl Browder, in reviewing the child who naturally feels him-| work of the league, paid special at- tention to the work of the miii- tants at the miners’ convention. He said: “To me it means that the left wing has arrived. It is in the labor movement to stay and nothing can drive it out.” . None of the Chicago militants should have missed this meeting.
