| Saturday, July 5, 1924 — CANUCK POSTAL woRKeRs BEATEN || Mobilize Party For IN STRIKE TEST Division of Forces is Held Responsible (By The Federated Press) OTTAWA, Can., July 4.—The Can- adian postal strikers in Toronto and Winsor, the two cities where the tie- up Was most complete, have gone back to work defeated but there are still some 600 out in Montreal. In Windsor, where all the employes stood together, all go back to their old places. In Toronto they have to run the chance of some of the strike- breakers being given seniority over them, and the same will be true in Montreal. The chief lesson of the postal strike has been the need of careful organ- ization and of publicity. The work- ers did not have their plans laid to act as a unit. This split their forc- es and weakened the effect of the strike fatally, They failed to let the public know in advance of the is- sues. Very few knew that the postal strikers were fighting for a decent standard of living or that they were being paid less than $1260 a year, Send in that Subscription Today!

Washington Boulevard (Between Curtis and May Streets) Aggressive Action Foster and Ruthenberg Present Program of Action to Party SERIES of membership meetings in all the large centers of the country are to be addressed by William Z. Foster, Chairman of the Workers Party and C, E, Ruthenberg, Executive Secretary, in order to mobilize and familiarize the whole Party membership with the pro- gram of work laid out by the Central Executive Committee for the com- ing months. This program of work will include the Labor Party Campaign, the Industrial Work of the Party, Shop Nuclei organization, membership and DAILY WORKER subscription campaign, unemployment campaign and educational work of the Party. A program of work on all these questions is being drafted by the active members, all of them holding office either in the Joint Board or in their local unions. Perlstein Blocked Organization. From that time until the strike was called on February 27th, 1924, Perl- stein’s efforts were to strangle all attempts made by the militants to organize the industry. The treasury of the union has been used to put over his expulsion policy. Nobody knows just how much of the union’s money has been spent by Perlstein in his rule or ruin policy. Now is the time for a complete investigation and ex- plaination. The strike was called with no pre- paration, and the organization is in a much worse condition than when Perlstein came to the city, The union demands were 10 per cent increase in wages, the 40-hour week, unemploy- ment insurance, etc.; but every mem- Central Executive Committee and will be published before the member- ship meetings. The work of Comrades Foster and Ruthenberg will be to fully explain this program to the Party membership. The meetings which the two speakers will address will be the fol- lowing: Tuesday, July 8—Chicago, Il, Imperial Hall, 2409 N, Halsted St. Friday, July 11—Minneapolis, Minn.

Wednesday, July 23—New York City Thursday, July 24—Philadelphia, Penna. Friday, July 25—Pittsburgh, Penna. Saturday, July 26—Cleveland, Ohio The program to be adopted by the Central Executive Committee will outline construction work for building up the Party and increasing its influence among the masses of workers of this country, which will give every member of the Party work to do in the interests of the Com- munist movement. The program will be a survey of the whole field of Party activities, outlining the tasks in each particular field. Every member of the Party in the cities mentioned above and those living in near-by towns are urged to attend these membership meetings, The Party is girding itself for a great effort. Every Party member should know what the work is that the Party has undertgken so that he can carry it out with enthusiasm. | 7. U. E. L.

Perlstein came to Chicago in May 1923. When he came here there was a well-functioning Joint Board which was just beginning an organization drive. He came here to take charge jof the drive. The majority of the |Joint Board then were militants, either members of the Workers Par- ty, the Trade Union Educational League, or close sympathizers. Perl- Stein admitted publicly time and time again that they were the real driving force in the organization, Yet in July, 1923, when he had been in town less than two months, he started, not a drive to organize the unorganized, but his expulsion policy which has almost wrecked the union nationally, and has completely de- moralized it locally. On August 7th, 1912, the well-functioning Joint Board was shot to pieces by the action of Perlstein in expelling without trial the recording and financial secre- taries, and a little later nine other BUY AT Low YOUR DRUGS PRICES THIS WEEK'S SPECIAL $1.50—3 tubes Pepsodent Tooth Paste ....

Told to Use “Social Utility” Rule (Special to The DAILY WORKER) WASHINGTON, D. C., July 4—The criterion of social utility for studies was urged by Guy M. Wilson of the Boston university school of educa- tion at the second session of the Na- tional Education Association’s con- vention here. Mr. Wilson was reporting on revi- sion of the arithmetic curriculum and asked that “processes definitely prov- en to be useless” be eliminated from school courses. The principle of a “social utility criterion” was not. en- larged upon and of course, did not suggest that such a standard under eapilalism might be used to excuse stein and Sigman in the union, by their stupid criminal expulsion policy. They refused to sign up an agreement at all. Perlstein was only concerned in carrying on the strike long enough to carry his machine over the con- vention. Now that the convention is lover and the Sigman-Perlstein com- bine have re-written the constitution, whereby the organization becomes their personal property, the strike has served its purpose and therefore it is called off, and with it, all promises made that it was going to be carried over the slack season. The only difference in the situation now and two months ago, is that the I. L. G. W. U. convention is over; the expulsion policy was endorsed by a packed convention; the T. U. E. L. has been outlawed; the preamble and the constitution have been purged of working class features, and the or- ganization dedicated to the Gompers policy of class collaboration. This was Perlstein’s objective. It has been reached, the strike is not necessary jany more. The Amalgamated Clothing Work- ers guaranteed $10,000 to aid the strikers. The miners gave $1,000. Unions in Chicago were asked to aid the spread of vocational education and ‘the teaching of crafts to young- sters who will then enter blind paths of industry. Movie Fails. The matter of visual education is being elaborated before the delegate principals, superintendents, and oth- er school officials in an effort to en- courage the use of slides and moving pictures -in educational work. The big motion picture producers have not yet entered the educational field be- cause the present game of catering to the slushy sentimentality of the American public has been too profit- able to make them interested in any more intelligent work. What little |, work has been done to provide schools with films has been done by organizations interested in putting over big business or war propaganda. Patriotism Plentiful. The school officials will spend a patriotic fourth of July, of course, with an address by the little man of the big white house in the morning, and a jaunt to Monticello to visit the home of Thomas Jefferson later in the day. This convention of the associa- tion is particularly a flag-waving one because of its presence in Washing- and some were assessing themselves from 10c to 25c to aid the strikers with the understanding that the strike would be carried over to the busy sea- son. ‘Perlstein’s promises are made only to be broken. The miners in convention, in spite of their pitiful tales of starvation, voted $1,000, thinking that the fight was going to be carried on, while Perlstein was taking the money know- ing full well that he was going to call the strike off. Only last week he as- not going to give up the fight. This week he calls it off. Rank and File for Left Wing. The ‘Trade Union Educational League with its militant program had been endorsed by the left wing ele- ment in the I. L. G. W. U. who for two years has been carrying on an intensive educational campaign for the league’s left wing measures. This eft wing had become the real leader in the organization. There is no question but that the last convention, if normal conditions had prevailed, would have been a left wing conven- tion. The Perlstein-Sigman machine would have been defeated and a mili- tant set of officials put in their place. Unfortunately for the good of the organization, the strategic positions in the union were held by followers of the yellow Amsterdam International, under the leadership of Abe Cahan, editor of the Jewish Daily Forward. True to their rule-or-ruin policy, they proceeded to expel, disfranchise, re- move from office, remove from bal- lots candidates either for office or for delegates to the convention, all mem- bers who were or are being suspected of being left wingers. The few who were able to escape their vigilance and were elected as delegates to the convention, were ruthlessly unseated. To make sure that they were in con-| trol they organized a number of paper | locals in the East. With this packed | convention they proceeded to make, the once progressive Ladies Garment Workers the most reactionary organ- ization in the American labor move- ment. The Chicago strike meant a great deal to the members but nothing to the leaders, It was only useful to strengthen their hold on the organiza- tion. The organization is facing a serious situation in New York, The treacherous conduct in Chicago must be guarded against in New York. Re- member, it is the same leadership. Members of the I. L. G. W.
