Calhoun, instructor at the Brookwood Labor College. Last week they announced that Scott Nearing had been added to their staff. ‘Calhoun is scheduled for two courses during the coming year. One is a short course of four sessions of a sym- posium entitled, “The Problems of Working Class Women.” Calhoun’s part of this course is entitled, “The American Family, Its History and Social Development.” Calhoun, it will be remembered, is the author of what is generally estimated to be the outstanding work on the American family, “The Social History of the American Family.” In addition to the above course, Cal- houn is scheduled for a three months’ once-a-week course in “The History of the Working Class in the United States.” The Buletin of the Workers’ School can be secured by writing to Bertram D, Wolfe, director, 106-108 East 14th St., New York City. ir e Michael Gold Will Lecture at New York Workers’ School Sunday|*' NEW YORK, Sept. 20. — Sunday, Sept. 26, Michael Gold, editor of the Masses, will speak at a Iterary dis- cussion to be held at the Workers’ School, 108 Bast 14th St., New York City.

Comrades Vallentin, Street Nucleus 24; Kitty Harris, Section 5; Bjornson, Section 6, and Harry Cohen, Street 31, all reported that because of other im- portant meetings they could not be present, but are going to do their share to put over the drive to have The DAILY WORKER sold at every union meeting in Chicago, All Live Comrades. It is expected to have the name of every live comrade in every nucleus on the sales force within two months, and it is hoped to have 300 union meetings covered every month. It is found that renewals of expir- ing subscriptions are much easier to get than going out for new readers, and hundreds of live prospedts should be visited at once. Comrades are asked to come into the office at 19 South Lincoln street and get a few names to call on or see that their nu- cleus agent supplies you with some at your next meeting. Beginning October 1 a prize will be given each month to The DAILY WORKER agent bringing in the most money on subscriptions during the month and $3 worth of literature will be given to the nucleus to which the agent belongs, 2. ee New York Daily Worker Builders to Hold Picnic Sunday NEW YORK, Sept, 20, — The last Picnic of the ‘season is arranged by The DAILY WORKER Builders Club of New’ York, Sunday, Sept., 26.

Labor Party to Have Candidates HARRISBURG, Sept. 20, — (FP) — Charles Kutz, chairman of ‘the Labor Party of Pennsylvania, announced on Sept. 15 that Gov. Pinchot had de- clined the nomination of that party which he won in the April primary, and that E. BE, Beidleman had surrendered the nomination for governor. These withdrawals had been anticipated, Katz said, and the party would pro- ceed to select new candidates to ap- pear on the ballot in the November election, The situation in Pennsylvania, Katz declares, is “highly favorable to the prospects of a successful campaign by the forces lined up againnst Mel- lon, Fisher, Grundy and Vare.

Tardily Falls in Line With Other Roads on Shop Wage By LELAND OLDS, Federated Press. The Baltimore & Ohio railroad by granting its 20,000 shopmen pay in- creases of 2c an hour and. time and a half for all work on Sundays and holidays now takes the lead among the larger roads of the country in the treatment of Its employes. It takes a position among the northeastern car riers which the Pennsylvania and New York Central will have to follow in order to maintain their good faith un- der the new railroad labor act. The B. & O. increase establishes a minimum rate ‘of 75c an hour for me- chanics and 51e an hour for helpers. The 75c rate for mechanics has been accorded for more than 6 months on most of the southern roads. These in- clude Chesapeake’ & Ohio, Georgia Florida & Alabama, Seaboard Air Line and Southern among the union roads and Atlantic Coast Line, Louisville & Nashville, Norfolk & Western and Norfolk & Southern among the non- union roads... But among these only the Chesapeake & Ohio and the Nor- folk & Western had also granted both the full 5c over the old labor board rates to less skilled members of the shop forces and the time and a half pay for Sunday and holiday work. Important railroads which have been paying time and a half for Sun- day and holiday work for a consider- able period include the Seaboard Air Line, Central of Georgia, Chicago & Northwestern, Chicago Burlington & Quincy, Chicago Milwaukee & St. Paul, Great Northern, Northern Pa- cific and Grand Trunk. Recent reiteration by The Wall Street Journal of the statement that reduction in operating expenses has been an important factor in swelling this year’s B. & O. profits shows that the present wage increase was long overdue. With last year’s profit at $12 a share and this year’s profit likely to run over $16 a share, the leader in shop co-operation should also have led in rates of pay and work- ing conditions. B. &. O. profits for the first 7 months of 1926 are $6,507,800 ahead of the same period 1925. In July expenses absorbed only 68.8% of revenues com- pared with 72.6% a year ago. This means that the B. & O. profit bag is getting 31.2% of each dollar paid for B. & O. service compared with 27.4% in July 1925. Whether B. & O. will raise its 5% dividend to 6% or 7% is still discuss- ed in financial circles. The Associat- ed Press quotes F. B. Blaser, assistant to vice-president Galloway in charge of B, & O. operation, as stating that the present wage increases meet the men’s demands. He made it plain that they were not volunteered by the road. DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE WAS A HOME TO SMITH (Special to The Daily Worker) NEW YORK, Sept. 20.—Charles E. Stewart, formerly chief clerk in the department of justice during the ad- ministration of Harry M. Daugherty, was called to the witness stand today mm the Daugherty-Miller conspiracy trial in federal court. Daugherty, formerly attorney gen- eral, and former Alien Property Cus- todian Thomas W. Miller are accused of having accepted a bribe of $441,- 900 for their services in connection oo} With the return of $7,000,000 of prop- arty of the German-controlled Ameri- can Metals Company that had been seized as alien property during the war, Close Relationship. Stewart, questioned by United States Attorney Buckner, told of the relationship that existed between Daugherty and the late Jesse Smith. Richard Merton, German financier, who came to this country to effect the return of the seized alien prop- erty, had testified that the late John T. King of Connecticut had intro- duced him to Smith when he was try- tug hard to have the property re- turned to the foreign owners. Smith Was Everywhere. Stewart testified that he frequently saw Smith around the office of the department of justice shortly after Daugherty assumed office; that he saw Smith in the corridors of the building at different times, and that Smith was continually paying visits to Daugherty’s office, The witness said he had assigned a room on the sixth floor of the depart- ment of justice building for Smith, because he understood Smith was “performing certain confidential du- ties assigned to him by the attorney general.” Thon Stewart testified regarding en expense voucher he signed tor Smith. It was brought out by Buck: ner that the expense voucher signed for Smith was dated: “Headquarters of the Department of Justice, Colum- bus, Ohio.” Dairy Workers Make A * * A Big Gains in Chicago Gre improvement in wages and working conditions is reported by Dairy Employes’: Union No, 754, Chi- cago.

Dis: the past year an unhealthy | °rgan. attitude has ‘been created regard- ing the question of the correct rela- tionships between the party and the League. If this attitude is to contin- ue it can do no good for the organiza- tion; on the other hand it will re- tard its progress. Because of obvious reasons of the past history of the party, the party has to an extent neglected the Young Workers’ League. The reaction of league comrades not yet understand- ing the basic fundamentals of the movement, has been an opposition to co-operating with the party. This op- position was on working together with the party on those fields necessary. That it was a mistake for the party to adopt such an attitude or rather ne- glect the League, is obvious and. is being recognized ‘by the party itself (this is witnessed by the recent changes of attitude by leading func- tionaries of the party and by the units themselves.) The Real Relationship. Let us now try and discover the real relation between the party and the League. What is the Communist Party? To quote from the English League Training Syllabus: “The Communist Party is based on the Revolutionary class struggle and represents Me in- terests of the workingclass, a: and generally in all questions. It is the vanguard and leader of the work- ing class. The party is the only | er of the workingela: This leader- ship cannot be divided.” Now then what is the role of the League? Some comrades have and will bring this question up. What is the Young Workers’ League? Has it any function? Let us again quote from this Syllabus: “The Young Commu- nist League is the mass organization of the working youth. It is the or- ganization of the workingclass. which has the task of enrolling all young workers within the ranks of the work- ingclass and organizing them to take part in the class struggle alongside the rest of the workers. Its task is to gather the mass of young workers into its ranks, to represent their in- terests In all spheres; to educate them in the struggle and in the theory: of the struggle and pass them into the ranks of the Communist Party.” League As Training Ground. We find the League therefore play- ing a special role in the revolution- ary movement. The role of the youth is a special one in the class strug- gle. The League carries on its own particular work amongst the working youth and does not seek to be the second edition of the party. It is the revolutionary reserve for the party and should turn over every year train- ed eager comrades into the ranks of the party. The league is politically subordin- ated to the party, yet it retains or- ganizational autonomy, However, the fact that the league is poltically sub- ordinate to the party does not mean that it mechanically and without thought prescribed and operates the decisions of the party, It means that the league members must closely par- ticipate in the life of the party, play a role in hammering out of its de- cisions and applying them to the youth, Since the league is a political organization and our work political, Participation in party activity height- ens our level and helps to unite and weld together the two organizations. Yes, the league is a training ground where our members arm themselves theoretically and practically to enter the party. In the party the league members play an important role for they have had the proper training. The league is in reality a trainin; ground, a reserve guard, for the par! We have the attitude of league rades in Chicago who when holding open-air meetings refuse to sell the DAILY WORKER in addition to the The New Issue of the YOUNG WORKER Is Just Off the Press You and your young friends will enjoy it—it’s just full of good stuff—as is every issue! SUBSCRIBE! $1 a year 50c 6 months THE YOUNG WORKER Young Worker, because it is the party There is also the attitude o' Some comrades who do not think that it is necessary to carry out our facw tory work together with the party. On the other hand, the attitude of th party often corresponds with these,, Such an attitude from both angels is¢ incorrect: However the party becauseé of its political maturity should be the first to correct this and help the league do likewise. Mutual Representation. There must be an interchange representatives and all the units musi work together. Let us look at th following decisions of the BH, C. C. I. on the question of the relatonahia of the league and the party, This i addressed to the party. | 1. Formation of local Y. W. L, where ever local W. P. groups exist, 2. Formation of Y. W. L. = nuclei wherever local W. P, nucl exist. 3. Appointment of young part: members for work in the Y, W. particularly in weak local groups andi factory nuclei, also in other organs. 4, Exercise the special care wheny taking over Y. W.

Strict adherence to the rule con- cerning the dispatch of party repre- sentatives into all organs and com~, mittees of the youth and vice-versa. | The representatives of the party im the youth committees are not only to “represent” but to collaborate im & practical manner, 7. Eventual formation of a special permanent committee in the central committee of the party, to watch and- support the Y. W. L. activities. There are other points such as the agitprop and trade union work that the E. C. deals with, but these poin on organization our comrades mu understand. With such a program w can proceed to our work clarified.j / The program can be applied thruoutr the country for the whole party pers: sonifies these weaknesses, The league, on the other hand must accept guid-; ance from the party. While we canej not expect the program to be initiated at once, steps towards such activity must be carried into effect immediate- ly. When these basic principles are. understood, when the above program is carried out, the progress of the league and party will be noticeable. This is the only method that will at- tain the real relationships between the party and league. Educational Meet of Concentration Group By Young Worker Correspondent. NEW YORK CITY.— On Tuesday, Sept. 7, we held an educational meet- ing of our concentration group. Every comrade was to bring as many syme+ pathetic workers from the shop as possible. The topic of discussion was “The necessity of belonging to a un- ion.” Comrade Mike made a short in- troduction and then it was followed by questions in which every comrade and sympathizer participated very ens thusiastically, I think it was the most interesting and well attended meet- ing we ever had of the group. I am convinced that every one of us learn- ed a good bit of the importance of belonging to a union. After the meet- ing we sold some trade union litera- ture.
