WOMEN REALIZE REAL DANGERS OF CAPITALISM, ACTIVE IN SPREADING COMMUNISM, CONFERENCE REVEALS SUPERIOR, Wis., Oct. 12—Tho many of our men comrades in the Minne- sota district have showed symptoms of “taking it easy,” on the other hand, our proletarian women are full of inspiration and activity, Closer contact with the growing generation has undoubtedly given the women in the cities and country their youthful inspiration, They see the children they have given birth to and whom they have raised, under the destinies of capitalism. They can feel it on all sides, they know its+- weakness, its strength. Thru ex- perience they know the corruptness of the capitalist society. And as a bird mother watches her young, so are they, ready‘to fight and sacrifice when their young are being threaten- ed with danger. The only differences being that the proletariat women of the cities and countries know from where they can expect this danger. . ment; the winning over of the masses to the tactical problems and pulling them into the struggle—these and many other questions coming up in the proletarian movement were brought forth, Formulate Program. The time was much too short. But all the same, all these subjects were They know, that it is the capitalist so- clety with all its attractions that threatens their young. That is why they are ready to orgarfze a fight again& threatening capitalism, jana ready to draw with it in this fight, all the oppressed and downtrodden against this creator of evils and wretchedness, capitalism. They have experienced that acting singly will not help. Therefore, the entire, vast, oppressed mass must be with them in the struggle against danger and for the abolishment of its creator; Hold Conference, “Al this was brought out in plain facts at the women’s district confer- ence held at Superior, Wis., Sunday, Governor, Benjamin Gitiow.

Fifteen hundred copies were printed, size 6 by 9 inches. The second num- |ber was printed in the same size. | Three thousand copies were distribu- ted. The third issue was increased in size to 8 by 10 inches and thé edition |increased to 5,000. An editorial com- | mittee supervises its issuance. The distribution of 5,000 copies of The Harvester Worker is real mass agitation and is surely making its im- pression on the Harvester workers that the Communists lead in the daily ‘struggle of the workers. .

BARKUN’S 4 STORES ~ ing the Yankee sluggers to one hit in the last six innings was one of the greatest exhibitions of pitching ever seen in a worlds series. Alexander's performance came as a sensational climax to a hectic year in which he started off as the idof of the Chicago fans (who early in the season pre- sented him with a $5,000 Lincoln car) and was shortly afterward waived to the Cardinals for alleged infringement of training rules, Of course, this isn’t the real rea- son for his release. The fact is that Alexander had suffered a streak of ineffectiveness that seemed to indicate that his long career was just about petered out. It is well known that a ball player can get away with. pretty nearly anything just as long as he goes out to the ball park and delivers the pitching or the base raps that bring the. customers flocking to the turnstiles, which again shows that Pro-baseball is a business and not sport, But to get hack to the worlds se- ries. The third game was played in St. Louis. which won, making the count two to one in its favor. Up to this time the hitting had been very light for teams that numbered many heavy. sluggers in their lineups. In the fourth game, however, the batters broke loose and turned the game jnto a slugfest, Babe Ruth socking out three home runs and winning the game for the Yankees. This evened the count at 2 all, -with one. more game to be played in St. Louis, Young Workers of Hamtramck Plan Dance October 17 HAMTRAMCK, Mich., Oct. 12—The workers of Hamtramck and Detroit will have an excellent opportunity to spend an enjoyable evening at the In- ternational Workers’, Home, 8014 Yemans Ave., Sunday, Oct. 17, wheré the ,Yemans Athletic Club, an organ- ization composed mostly of young workers, and affiliated with. the Labor Sports Union, is giving a dance and a concert, dance to begin at 4 D. m. and the concert at 8 p. m.

Iam a school teacher, Children are put under my personal supervision. Who are these children. Ninety-five per cent of them belong to workers, good, hard factory workers who send their children to school hoping they will in time avoid the horrors of the present-day wage slave. What hap- pens? These children of the workers are taught certain subjects—reading, writing and arithmetic. Is that all? Of course not. Their most important subject is “Americanism.” What is Americanism and why is it given first importance in the public schools? Why are children daily taught the pledge of allegiance to the flag? To perpetuate the present system of ex- ploitation—to poison the child’s mind in its infancy against any possibility of change, to give him the ideology of the exploiters, What happens to teachers who do not accept this brand of Americanism? What happens to any teacher who criticizes the present form of government? They are thrown out of the system. The public schools have become the greatest and most influential source ot propaganda for the capitalist class. There is no more powerful weapon than the schools for killing any bud of clear thinking that the children may have. A school teacher is given a rigid course of study. His subject matter is worked out for him in de- tailed form, He is even told how to teach it. This insures against’ any chance for free thought or open dis- cussion on any subject whatsover. What chance for any scientific think- ing on the part of teachers or students under these conditions? LINOLEUM Phone Humboldt 4983: Phone progr Fo Phone Humbol ‘ Phone Monroe 6941 6264 Why did I join the Workers’ Party? Because I have realized that the dem- ocratic and republican parties have never done anything for the class room teacher to better his conditions. They have failed time and again to in- crease salaries (witness the last sal- ary campaign), to decrease the size of classes and to permit free discussion in the. class room. Their interests have always been for big business, The Workers (Communist) Party is the only political party devoted to the interests of the working class, and school children and school teachers belong to this class, Activization Group.
