age Four THE DAILY;WORKER Workers (Communist) Party To Establish Daily Worker on Firm Foundation Statement of the Central Committ e of the Workers (Communist) Party HE. November meeting of the Central Com tte of the party endorsed the decision of the lIitloal Committee to move The DAILY WORKER to NewYork City during the HontHsr sandary and to begin olen théfthere on January 24. This action of the Central Committee Is one of the measures decided upon by the Central Committee In the campaign to Keep The DAILY WORKER as the fighting organ of the revolutionary movement In the United States, The DAILY WORKER has been In a continuous struggle for Its existence for the past two years, It has been a hard fight to keep our paper alive. In order to save The DAILY WORKER for the revolutionary movement, It has been apparent for some time that The DAILY WORKER must secure a broader base. The action of the Central Committee In deciding to move The DAILY WORKER to New York City Is to take ad- vantage of the stronger foundation for the develop- ment of our paper offered by the broader left wing movement of which that city Is the center, New York City Is today the heart and center of Amer- ican capitalism and American imperialism, which dominates the world. In New York City, The DAILY WORKER will be closer to the sources of news in re- gard to the developments of American capitalism, and can more quickly bring to the workers the Interpreta- tion of the moves of American capitalism from a work- ing class standpoint and rally the workers for action against the plans of the capitalists. New York City offers the possibility of adding new forces to the editorial staff for The DAILY WORKER and thus strengthening our paper in its service tothe working class movement, A greater section of the American workers can be reached by The DAILY WORKER from New York City on the day of publication, thus making The DAILY WORKER their source of news of the daily events that affect their lives, than in its. present location. Also a larger section of the party membership is located with- in reach of The DAILY WORKER on the day of publica- tion, enabling The DAILY WORKER, as the central on gan of the party, to more quickly bring the party into action from New York City. New York Close to Great Industries. Within the radius which The DAILY WORKER can reach on the day of publication from New York City are located more of the great industries, including the heavy industries, than can be reached by The DAILY WORKER at the present time. In the New England states are situated a large part of the textile, shoe and metal manufacturing industries. New York state is a great manufacturing state, as is also New Jersey, Penn- sylvania is the heart of the coal mining and steel In- dustry with the great anthracite coal region within a short distance from New York City. The DAILY WORKER can be delivered to the workers in these states on the day of publication from New York City. Within these states ship of the American Federation of Labor with close to a million of these members in N@w York state alone. New York the Center of the Left Wing Movement. New York City is today the center of the left wing movement in the trade unions. it is in New York City and the immediate surround- ings that all the great struggles have recently taken place in which the party has played a leading part. The DAILY WORKER has been handicapped in giving lead- ership and direction to these struggles and rallying the workers against their enemies, because it has not also the bulk of the member. been able to reach them quickly enough with the news and developments of the struggles. This left wing movement will serve as a broader base foe the development of The DAILY WORKER. It will Immediately give The DAILY WORKER a greater olroulation and strengthen the financial basis of our paper thru the support which these workers will give to The DAILY WORKER as the militant voloe support- Ing thelr struggles. The DAILY WORKER Remains a National Paper. While taking advantage of the opportunity to bulld a@ sounder foundation for The DAILY WORKER thru Its removal to New York City, The DAILY WORKER will remain the national organ of the revolutionary movement In the United States. Its pages will refiect the strugglee of the workers thruout the whole country and ite will endeavor to give leadership to all these struggles, as it has In the past, The Work Before the Party and Its Supporters, The removal of The DAILY WORKER to New York City makes more Important than ever the carrying on of the Keep The DAILY WORKER campaign to a suc- cessful conclusion. The removal of The DAILY WORKER to New York City gives the party a stronger guaranteo that with the successful completion of the campaign for the $50,000 Keep The DAILY WORKER Fund, the party will be assured that The DAILY WORKER will continue to appear as the central organ of the revolutionary move- ment and of the leader of that movement—the Work- ers (Communist) Party. THE $50,000 KEEP THE DAILY WORKER FUND, TOGETHER WITH THE NEW SOURCES OF STRENGTH WHICH THE DAILY WORKER WILL GAIN BY MOVING TO NEW YORK CITY WILL PLACE OUR PAPER IN A MUCH STRONGER POSI- TION THAN AT ANY TIME SINCE ITS PUBLICA- TION. t The work of completing the $50,000 Keep The DAILY WORKER Fund must, therefore, be taken up with new energy by the whole party. The New York District, which was given a quota of $15,000 to ralse to Keep The DAILY, WORKER, must raise its quota to $25,000, the Boston District, the Philadelphia District and the Pittsburgh and Cleveland Districts must redouble their energies to raise their quotas of the Keep The DAILY WORKER Fund. Buffalo and Detroit have ralsed their quotas, but should do even more. Chicago, Minneapolis and the western districts must show that they are sup- porting The DAILY WORKER as the national organ of the party, and go forward to the 100% mark. The Central Committee feels confident that this an- nouncement of the moving of The DAILY WORKER to a stronger base will be greeted with enthusiasm by the whole party, because it gives a greater guarantee to the party that the hard work and sacrifices for The DAILY WORKER will not be In vain, that the party will not have its most powerful weapon wrenched from its hands. THE PARTY AND THE REVOLUTIONARY MOVE- MENT WILL GAIN A BETTER, STRONGER DAILY WORKER. : NOW WE MUST GO FORWARD TO COMPLETE THE $50,000 FUND, AND WITH THE STRONGER BASE AS THE GUARANTEE FOR SECURITY FOR THE FUTURE, KEEP THE DAILY WORKER.

(Make these two bly" nights for The 'N accordance ‘ withy regular rou- tine, the children ofoa certain Chi- cago school were required to write a composition on the theme: “How 1 Shall Spend My Thanksgiving This Year.” Here is what one boy wrote: “HOW | SHALL SPEND MY THANKSGIVING THIS YEAR, “First, | shall go to church and Pray to god and say to god that he should make things go Just as now and even better, “Second, | shall Invite some of my friends to come over to enjoy the Thanksgiving with me. “The last thing | will do Ie to go to the bird hou inimal house and fish house and see’ what god has given us, “On Sunday | am to go to Sunday school.” And of course the teacher marked !t “Excellent. Now this is all commonplace. But the astounding thing is: The parents of this boy are both good loyal Com- munists, Party members! The atmos- phere in which this boy was brought up is definitely class-conscious and anti-religious, And yet see what the boy writes? Bourgeols Poison. Of course the boy knows that he is not going to church or to Sunday school; he knows that he {s not going to thank “god” for his “blessings.” Yet he feels that it is the proper thing to write as if he were going to do these things. Semif-consciously, or perhaps totally unconsciously, he has been brought to think and feel that to be patriotic and religious is the correct thing, the normal way of life, and that his parents are “queer” (prob- ably because they are “foreigners” or “reds”) in not falling in with this way of life. Will anyone say that thie boy has not, in effect, been kidnapped {ideologically by the bosses and the priests? Will anyone say that the school has not had some success in poisoning his mind, in distorting his whole outlook, and in converting him into a support for the bourgeois slave- driver? A Warning! And yet this boy is thé son of party members, good Communists! It sim- ply_shows how powerless is homé @n- ‘onment, éven of the best, to coun- teract fully the vict work of the schoole This incident is) and a pretty bitter one toythose com- placent workers who think that be- cause they “understand things,” be- cause they are revolutionary or class conscious, therefore their children will grow up that way more or less as a matter of course. No error could be more disastrous! Home training, no matter how well intentioned, cannot in the nature of the case be suffictent. A sympathetic, well-planned, large- scale campaign carried on by people who are thoroly acquainted with the task and devote themselves entirely to It 1s the only thing that can meet ‘with any hope of success, the very conscious and well-organized attacks of the bourgeoisle on the children of our Class; such a campaign Is the only thfig that can really win the working- class children for the working class and enroll them in the class struggle. The Pioneer Movement. Such a campaign, such a work is carried on by the Pioneer movement in this country. This movement of working-class children organized into he‘Young. Pioneers.of America, under he guidance of the Young Workers’ ommunist League, has made some remarkable progress since it was start- ed a few years ago and even in the last year. It has already shown its effectiveness as a fighting organiza- tion for the souls of the proletarian children, Fortunately, the boy who wrote the above mentioned composi- tion is now a Pioneer and it will not take many months before he will look back upon this piece of work with as- tonishment and disgust. It’s Up to You. But the success of the Young Pion- eer movement depends in the last re- sort upon the support given to it by the broad masses of the American workers, especially by the advanced sections, the class-conscious and revo- lationary workers. It’s up to you! Tris story should be a warning to you. It should awaken you. Do you want your children, do you want any work- ing-class children to become mere clay in the hands of the bosses and the priests to be molded into renegades who will despise you and your ideals and the enfire proletarian struggle? The only effective way to answer “No” to this question is by throwing all your forces into the support of the Pioneer movement, Are you ready? POLITICIANS ARE SURE THAT VARE WILL BE OUSTED Cast About Now for His “Successor” rs PHILADELPHIA, Pa. Dec. 5.— Pennsylvania politicians are becom- ing convinced that William 8. Vare, senator-elect, will not be seated by the senate. With this conviction they are now looking about for a man to have the governor-elect, John 8S, Fisher, name in Vare’s place, Name Millionaires. Two millionaires are being mention- ed more than others for the post. They are James Elverson, publishers of the Philadelphia Inquirer, and Wil- Ham C, Sproul, fire-brick manufac- turer, The politicians are certain now that the revelations of corruption in the. primary and election will cause the | senate to follow the precedent in the Newberry case and oust Vare, Investigation Hampered. Private investigations are still being conducted in the election. But there is no way at present, according to Pennsylvania laws, that a public probe into election frauds dealing with registration padding and ballot-stuf- ing can be conducted. The senate can authorize an investigation, but the senate on elections does not meet for a year, and all evidence will be des- troyed by that time. Sen, Reed’s com- mittee is empowered to investigate only slush funds and cannot delve in- to ballot irregularities, The registration commission can act, but to act it must have definite proof of illegality before the court will order ballot boxes to be opened. “Weighed” Votes. It is a common expression here that “they didn’t count the votes; they weighed them.” Evidence of fraud is also seen in the fact that in 30 elec- tion districts not a single vote was counted for Wilson, Vare's opponent, In each of 397 other districts, Wilson received less than 10 votes each, WARNS CONGRESS ON MONOPOLY OF AIR FOR RADIOS Federation to Fight Pro- perty Rights Property rights in the air should be rigorously avoided in any radio legis- lation to be adopted by congress, but the present confusion in broadcasting should be unsnarled and the legitimate interests of both broadcasters and lis- teners protected. This is the position taken by the Chicago Federation of Labor, owner of WCFL, in an open letter sent to all members of congress and also ad- dressed to the judiciary, the press and the radio public, Sees Monopoly, Both the White bill, passed by the house at the last session, and the Dill Dill, passed by the senate, have pro- visions that “aim to make of radio the same sort of monopoly as our present telephone system,” says Secretary EF. N, Nockels, who signs the open letter .{in behalf of the federation. Would Chloroform Public, “The radio public must see the hand of the money barons working thru the big advertisers controling newspapers and magazines. The great newspa- pers, such as the Chicago Tribune, are heavily interested in broadcast sta- tions and are trying to consolidate their gains by buying small stations and establishing precedents in injunc- tions to obtain final monopoly. A de- termined effort is being made to chlo- roform the public while this steal is taking place and other methods be- sides publicity in newspapers and magazines are being employed,” it. charges. Hide Real Intention. These methods, the federation as- serts, consist in forming fake organi- zations both of broadcasters: and lis- ers, which pretend to speak with authority for the radio stations and the radio public, In reality a number of them are “‘ill-concealed tools of the radio trust,” Nockels declares. “Behind a smoke screen of misrep- resentation, questionable affidavits jand intrigue a monopolistic octopus is the labor broadcast station’s warn- Cities ‘in the name of radio is taking form,” i on street, 8 p. m.

Reinhardt, in the psychological period- ical, Industrielle Psychotechnik, according to the Literary Digest. From this quotation one can readily see on what the thought of the intellectual servants of capitalism is concentrating. The aim and object, as well as the sole standard of value, of the various elements that enter into capitalist society, is apparently whether or not they make for a more efficient working class, that will bring increasing returns for the exploiters. It matters not whether it is art, music, drama, literature—or the PRESS. The purpose is the same. If it is worth while for this learned tool of capitaltsm to spend so much time and effort on the question of the utilization of music in industry, how much more diligent and careful- atten- tion must be given to the press, a factor which enters daily into the lives of the workers and ewerts a dominating influence over their thoughts and. actions. The propagandists of capitalism, the highly paid specialists of the plute press, who are employed to create the necessary atmosphere to keep the workers sub- missive and productive in the interests of the ruling class, are at work constantly devising new ways and means of accomplish- ing their nefarious purpose. This is the motive behind the multi- tude of “new features” and “attractions” in these publications. The recognition of this fact must stir the workers to renewed efforts to build their own class paper. The energy of the hire- lings of the kept press must be surpassed by the voluntary imi- tiative and activity of the workers in support of their own paper. The clamor for more production, increased exploitation and misery for the workers must be met with the call for the building of @ more powerful working clase, striving toward the establishment of a new system of society in the interests of those who toil.

The stock as you know is usually offered to the employe with the best of good wishes and con- sratulations and sometimes at a dis- count, When the employe even under the stress of dire necessity sells out his few shares, he is in many instances discharged, The number of people kept at an underpaid job thus through the ownership of a few shares of stocle must De enormous and an exposure would be que as interesting as that of company unions, Yours truly, Dr, L David, Brooklym,
