Here is m f t Page Five Letters From Our Readers Stays on Our List. To the DAILY WORKER: Gentle mea, hell, no, 1 mean men and women. It is 11 a, m, Sunday morning. Your agent has just leftrmy house and I feel so ashamed of not telling you how I prize the DAILY WORKER and how the Workers Monthly is so incompar. ably better than what I expected to get for my sub to the old Liberator that I wish to make amends some- what. For the $5 enclosed send me one of those insurance policies. I am a member of the Common. wealth Land Party (Single Tax) since several years before the Workers Party was organized and therefore feel it my duty to clean up my posi tion in this outfit before changing my allegiance. Therefore, my, immediate job is to compel my own party to come clean on its economics or expel me from membership. 1 claim that Karl Marx when he wrote the Communist Mani- festo, understood single tax better than Henry George ever did, and thai the 10th immediate demand in that immortal document is a better defini tion of the single tax than was ever written before or since by any man. Thus, ‘my quarrel with the single taxers is mot concerning single tax at all. We all agree that the land lord has no right to rob labor by privatély appropriating publicity cre- ated land values. We all agree that “The earth is the birthright of all man- kind” which is the first contention of single tax. But I go further and declare that the machines of production which arc publicly used and on which the lives of the people depend are also public property, an integral part of the com- monwealth and that the private own- ership of such public property consti- tutes the private ownership of public property. And that stocks and bonds and title feeds against such publicly used ma- chines of social production are there- fore just as niuch a part of the public debt as the liberty bonds which were sold to finance making the world safe for Sacco and Vanzetti, and Ruthen- burg, and Tom Mooney and the work- ers of Centralia. Thomas Jefferson Davis, Philadelphia, Penna. P. 8. It is so seldom that I am pleasantly surprised in getting more or better value than what I expect. You will permit me to say again that the DAILY WORKER is the best newspaper I have ever seen. Please keep me on your mailing list. Thos. J. Davis, On Labor Misleaders. The following letter was refused publication in the columns of the IIli- nois Miner, official organ of District 12, for the support of which the members of the district pay $80,000 a year: “Support your friends and defeat your enemies” has been the policy of the A. F. of L. for over 40 years, and at no time has its officials lost an op- portunity to cut the throat of any in- dependent political movement of the workers, in behalf of the Wall Street parties, i. e.—republican and demo- crat. The result of this policy, the vote relative to the child labor amendment, in the various legislatures, by the friends of labor is a disgrace to the labor movement, and more forcefuly than ever shows the impotency of the policy of the A. F. of L. in supporting the candidates called friends of labor on the enemy tickets. Minority Rule. In this particular respect allow me to draw your attention to the fact it requires two-thirds of the legisla- tures to ratify the amendment before it becomes consitutional law, which means that it requires only one-third of the states to vote against it to de feat it. One-third is the dictatorship of the minority with a vengeance. Much has been said by the fakers against the ‘workers’ minority’ in Russta, as they term it, working and fighting in behalf of the workers, but very little against the Wall Street government minority fighting and working to en- slave the children of the nation, grind- ing their bodies and souls into profits to be worn on the perverted bodies of titled degenerate daughters of idle moneyed parasites. Where are the boasted friends of labor now? The pet law of Sammy the simp for the time being is. set, aside, because of Sam’s and his. bu- reaucraite friends’ policy of strengh- ening the enemy parties, by stabbing the Workers Party, In and out of conventions, we have introduced resolutions and fought for workers’ political parties for just such purposes as the child labor amend- ment and have been bitterly fought by the labor bureaucracy and sold to our friends on the enemy: tickets. Down With the Bullfighters, At the last convention of the U. M. W. of A. in Indianapolis, in attempt- ing some progressive action looking to a workers’ party, we were ‘counted out by the bureaucracy and the late laughable, but very serious favor at El Paso was an insult to the workers, by the big, fat, well groomed, dia- mond-studded, Himalayan, salaried gentry who spurned the resolution for independent political action and sent it down to defeat amidst laughter and contempt, but in spite of those buil- fighting and brewery-loving artists, the workers are organizing and im the near future the republican and demo- cratic parties will go down to ignom- inious defeat and in the ruins will be found all the labor faking, Well Street catering, misrepresentatives of the labor movement. The Worker Party is the only party ‘of, by or for, the workers of the nation.” Workers, arise in your might and cast your traitorous labor faking misleaders in- to eternal oblivion, ALEX REID, Box 582, Christopher, i. Alleged Capitalist Friende cf Negroes To the DAILY WORKER—“Beware of Greeks bearing gifts” is a wise proverb. The capitalist newspaper, the Chi- cago Daily News, which elatms to be friendly to Negroes stated at the time that a Negro was elected judge on the capitalist, republican party ticket, that the progress of Negroes would be evolutionary and not revolu- tionary, and that there would be no more bigotry. Of course this statement was made to lull the half awakening Negroes, 95 per cent of whom are composed of farm and wage workers, back to sleep. Already this capitalist newspaper, The Chicago Datly News, -has returned to its Nigger-baiting, like a dog re- turned to his vomit, This newspaper contained several weeks ago a lying and filthy black and tan Nigger-baiting news article, which could only be’ equalled by its contem- porary, the yellow Chicdgo Tribune, a known liar. A tew days ago The Chicage Dafly News headlined a news item, “Negro amateur detective from the “black belt.’” Negro workers must come to learn that all capitalist newspapers are their enemies, and instigators of pre- judices and riots against them, Negro workers, you owe it to your posterity to read, subscribe to and sup- port the Communist newspaper, the DAILY WORKER.
