ADLER RESIGNS POST IN SECOND INTERNATIONAL Apologizes for Collapse of Socialists Friedrich Adler, secretary of the Socialist and Labor Inter- national (the second _interna- tianal), has resigned from, his post, thoroly tired out and dis- appointed, Yielding to pressure from his social lemocratic. colleagues, he finally ‘greed to continue in office temporar- ly, for the, purpose of completing ar ‘angements for the forthcoming con- sress of the Second International rowever, Hé hai let it be known tha’ inder no circuinstatices will he recon- sider ‘his original décision ‘to retire tc ‘ome less &trénuods Occupation. Adler an Emotionalist. It is a tortuous road “Fritz” Adler 1as traveled, since October 22, 1916, vhen he shot and killed Count Sturgkh, he Austrian prime ,minister.

Never anything but m emotionalist—in no sense a true eader of the masses—he deliberately raded on his revolutionary reputation snd became an out and out opportun: st. i Becomes Opportunist. He has attacked the Russian revo- ution bitterly, while at the same time ondoning the worst crimes of Scheide- nann, Noske, Gessler and Renner gainst the German and Austrian vorkers. Adler accompanies his resignation vith a letter in which he tries to ex- use the social ‘democratic leaders rom responsibilty for the betrayal of he workers in the world war: Evades Responsibiilty for Crash. “From the Marxian point of view, I onsider that the collapse of the*Inter. ational thru the policy of various so- lalist parties during the war was one € the gravest-of calamitie. 1 never vas one of those who adopte * thi verficial excuse that all the evil was he result of treachery on the part of he leaders.” Adler goes on-to complain of the resent tendencies.among the workers, nd closes with the lament that “Marx- im_is receding in the labor move- 1ent.” Verily, Lenin appears to have known hat he was talking about when he poke of the lack of stamina of the austrian school of social democracy.

Then comes the Hungarian orches- tral and Singing Societies. Hungarian music is famous and popular the world over. It became so because Hungarian orchestras and singers were able to take this music to every quarter of the world, revealing the great creative genius of the Hungari- ans. And the soloists! They are friends of the revolutionary movement who are ever ready when a worthy cause such as the defense and relief of po- litical prisoners is involved. And they have responded in a splendid way this time. Children have Program. And the children! Saturday, Feb- ruary 14, in the afternoon, the chil: dren of the revolutionary and radical worker of .New York will do, their yery best and will demonstrate what | the children of the ‘proletariat can do.

Ashland . Avenue Page Five CHILD LABOR AMENDMENT LOSS PLEASES BUTLER Bosses Co Coitinne to Exploit Kids NEW YORK, Feb. 2.—Nich- olas Murray the Butler,’ presi- dent of Columbia. University, has issued a statement. hailing the defeat of the child labor amendment as a victory for the people and vindication of the nation's capacity for citizenship. The Butler runs a university solely for the purpose of turning out bourgeois mediocrities as a machine turns out sausages. These mediocrities are to work for capitalistic concerns and capitalism and any instructor or professor in the Butler's show is asked to resign if he dares do any original thinking or be- cones “radical.” President Butler isn’t satisfied with his presidency of a college. He wants to be president of the U. 8. and thinks he will make a super-Wilson. He throws out this bait to capitalism to show he’s a safe man to be nominat- ed. Butler says in his statement: “The prompt and overwhelming de- feat of the proposal to ratify the so- called child-labor amendment to the constitution of the United States is a new and heartening declaration of independence by the American people. It serves notice on the congress at Washington that we shall be much obliged if that body will attend with more intelligence and more compe- tence to the business that we have confided to it and leave us alone to manage our own private, local and state affairs.” What Hypocricy. Fineness, decency and gentle in- stincts are so foreign to this snob professor that in his rage at even an attempt to prevent the exploitation of children by the capitalists he sneers at all those who are discour- aged, disheartened and revolted by the cruel atrocious indifference to the exploitation of children, by referring to them as follows: “Every parent, and every lover of childhood who is not a parent, should rejoice at the defeat of this amend- ment. It aimed at childhood the heav- lest -blow. ever contemplated any- where by anybody.” Butler says in another place: “Had the amendment been adopted more than 40,000,000 of young Ameri- cans would have been legally handed over the the tender mercies of the American congress.” This man would rather have the children in the hands of exploiting capitalists, who can, as Butler does in his university, keep the children more | completely under their control, than if the people had a say about them. Butler trembles lest the people them- selves have something to say about the education of their children. They | are safe in capitalistic universities, sweat shops and factories and he and the opponents of child labor want them in such “safe” places. Their Joy Short Lived. President Butler and his ilk, capi- talism and all its soul-rotten worship- pers are rejoicing in glee today at the defeat of the child labor amend- ment. They can look with great joy now on the continued exploitation of a million and a half children working for the capitalist exploiters, grinding out for these ghouls, profits, profits— more profits. Nicholas Murray, the Butler and all the rest will wear eir brutal smiles while children in ath Carolina work 12 hours a day, the children to replace them getting out of their beds to take their places when the others are given permis- sion to stop work and go to bed. Thus the beds) are never cold. And Butler and capitalism rejoices, “Worker Has No Chance for Compensation by Compensation Law” ALBANY, N.

(Special to The Dally ‘Worker) NEW YORK, Feb. 2.—Branch 12 of the Y. W. L. can now record two members being fired In one week for Communist activity. Saturday an- other mem of the Y. W. L. was fired because he took a leading part In lining up all the young workers who as a body asked for a raise. Suspecting that thie was due to Comrade Kramer who was only em- ployed for a short time, and has brot about such militancy...among the young workers, the boss after a few questions fired Kramer. But the boss did not realize what this discharge resulted in. The same afternoon six young workers were brot to the district office by Kramer and they -were organized Into a shop nucleus. A program of work, including the unionization of the shop was adopt- ed by the newly organized nucleus which will start ita..work immedi- ately. Comrade Kramer will be attached to this shop nucleus as an unem- ployed worker until he gets another Job. G. 0, P. CROOK WHO STOLE W. P.

D., Feb. 2—The loss suffered by farmers, especially the Poorer farmers who are unable to pay exhorbitant rates for insurance of. their crops from destruction by hail, is one of the. pressing problems of the Dakota farming population. For interest of Poorer Farmers, The first and only Communist elect ed to the North Dakota legislature, A. ©. Miller, has introduced a measure providing an inexpensive and effective means whereby the poorer farmers may get the protection of hail insur- ance without paying great sums to prif- vate profit grabbers of the fnsuranée companies, which thrive off the iml- series of the working farmers. The bill is accompanied by a re- pealing act of the 1923 law, which pro- vided for the withdrawal of land from the state hail insurance, and the bill providing the indemnity tax} known as House Bill No. 81, reads, in its essen- tial sections, 4s follows: Tax All Tillable Land. “The commissioner of insurance shall, on or before the 25th day of October of each year, estimate the amount which is required for the to- tal payment of all loss caused by hail to crops insured by the department, and a sum sufficient to pay interest at the rate of six per cent per annum on all warrants issued from the ist day of December until called for pay- ment by the state treasurer, plus a sufficient fund to maintain and oper- ate the department for the succeeding year, and shall thereupon, for the pur- pose of securing and paying the same levy an indemnity tax sufficient to cover said amount on all tillable land within the state: “Provided, that the total amount of said indemnity tax shall not exceed in any one year the sum of fifty cents ber acre for seven dollars indemnity or seventy-one cents per acre, for ten dollars indemnity. “Provided, further, that if the sum collected by the maximum levy should be insufficient to pay all losses in any one year, the payment of losses shall be prorated. All moneys collected un- der the provisions of this section shall be paid into the state hail insurance fund.” It will be noted that the bill pro- vides for a taxon all tillable land within the state, thus equalizing the burden for the benefit of the poorer farmers who may find their crops de- stroyed without being able to recu- pérate a cent of their losses. Both bills are referréd to the committee on insurance.
