DAILY WORKER, NEW YORK, WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 13, 1935 Page 5 Change World!) By MICHAEL GOLD — LOYAL to your employer,” is a slogan given out to workers by the emited States government in one of its official textbooks. : There are eight “good rules for all workers” contained in an instruction volume for those wishing to become American citizens: . Do not waste time. Do not waste material. . Be honest. | . Keep your word. Be good natured. . Be loyal to your employer. Don’t be fooled by wrong talk (this must mean, don’t listen to trade union organizers). 8. Practise the square deal. ' AAT POwE Wanted: Robots 'HE volume is officially titled, “Federal Citizen- ship Textbook,” and it is published and dis- tributed by the Department of Labor. Millions of immigrants, probably, have studied these simple pages, memorized them, taken them to heart. This | is the government speaking. This is what is de- manded of workers if they want to be citizens. Be loyal to your employer. Don’t be fooled by “wrong” | talk. Keep your mouth shut. Take what sweat- shop wages are paid you, and he grateful. Work like a mule, and never kick over the traces when you are tired of it all. A mule may rebel, but not an American citizen, In other words, America wants robots, not men. It wants only dumb wage slayes, not free Amer- ican individualists. This little textbook assures the immigrant that the government is on the side of the employers, and by implication, that a “dis- loyal” employee (that is to say, a striker), is also a “disloyal American.” . . One Big Happy Family ERE is Lesson 38a in the textbook. It gives the conception of state held by the Department of Labor: WHO ARE THE WORKERS IN AMERICA? “America is a busy country. America believes in hard work. America honors all workers. There are many ways to work. “Much work is done with the hands. We need men and women with strong bodies, strong arms, and strong hands. Many of America’s great men have worked hard with their hands. ‘Much work is done with the brain. We need trained minds. We need bright, quick thinkers. It takes strong, skillful minds to plan and direct work, “Money is also needed to carry on work. It takes money to build factories and buy material to start work, We need men who can furnish this money. They give work to the employees. They keep business running for the employee. The em- ployee makes business for them. “Together all workers make America a prosper- ous country. All these fRople are needed, All are workers. “One group cannot do the work alone. pend on each other. do my work well. for others’.” We de- Bach one should say: ‘I must If I do not, I spoil the work ' * ’ A Capitalist’s Dream 'HEN I read this little lesson, received a great thriJl. I felt like a Columbus in the field of historical research. Many historians have been puzzled over the origins of the so-called corporate state ballyhooed by Madame Hitler and Pop-Zye Mussolini. Great tomes have been written by flunkey professors of Italian and German fascism on this phoney new “state.” They have regarded it with reverence and awe, as if it were some mar- yellous new invention by the Duce or the Fuehrer. But now we can tell them where it started. It started in America, in the Department of Labor’s official primer for immigrant citizens. Here are your three estates: labor of the fist, in Dame Hitler's elegant phraseology; labor of the brow, and capital. Labor of the fist and brow are the equals of 5 capital, which employs them, to be sure, and also casts them out on the streets to starve from time to time, yet it is no higher in the corporate State scheme than they are, Yes, all are equal, just as a wolf and a sheep are equal, or an American citizen on the hreadline and an American in a Palm Beach palace. It is very beautiful. If only it could be made to work, forever, what a utopia this planet could be made into—for the capitalists. If only the “labor ef fist and brow” could be hypnotized into willing and satisfied robots, what a flow of endless profit there would follow. The capitalists have murdered thousands of people in Italy. Germany and Amer- ica to establish this beautiful utopia, but the way is long, and the masses remain stiff-necked and stubborn. Life Goes On E is one little argument against this theory " of the corporate State that annoys the peace- ful sleep of every capitalist. This argument is called the Soviet Union. Oyer there only the “labor of fist and brow” rules, and has squeezed out the third “partner” capital. And things go on. Huge factories are built; great bumper crops are sown and reaped; children are born and educated, the sun shines, life is in full flower. “It takes money to build factories and buy material to start work. We need men who can furnish this money, They give work to the employees.” What blasphemy. How is it done? Where do they get capital, if they haye no capitai- ists? Some day every American worker of hand and brain will learn the secret, and will kick out the unnecessary parasites and their “employees,” the flunkies who write such textbooks for citizens. * * * For the First Time in English LUDWIG FEUERBACH The classic exposition of dialectical materialism, for the first time in complete, ungarbled 1 legates eaters, national Publishers, Fourth Avenue, 1 New York.

Silently they watched the truck maneuver on to the walk and up to the dump. The truck rattled. The dump- body lifted slowly. A load of gar- baged poured out, The waiting men, women and children started |forward. The driver sat in the cab of his truck and watehed. He said nothing. When the garbage slith- ered out he lowered the dump-body. The truck climbed the walk again and bumped its way into the street. The fresh garbage had a sicken- ing odor. It reeked of fish and stale grease and simple sourness. Those who had been waiting breathed it. At first it almost made them retch. | Then it sharpened deep hungers. They fell to the work eagerly. A child found a half-eaten stalk of celery. He nibbled at it a mo- ment, then stuck it inside his shirt. | Several minutes later he fished out |a portion .of a breaded chop.

Finally she jumped up with a cry of trumph, “Look at ii!” she shrrilled. “Just look at it!” She waved a ham-bone with a heel of burnt meat at one end. The others glanced at it briefly and continued their own foraging. A man hurled a slat of wood at two beady eyes peering oyt from beneath a bunch of paper. He spat. A sleek rat moved away insolently. Two men came up, mounted one of the heaps and looked down upon the little group. They wore fur mit- tens and were clothed in suede coats and corduroy trousers tucked into high-top shoes.

The guard singled out the woman who had the ham-bone under her arm, “Hey, what you think you're do- ing?” She stood up and brushed the hair from her eyes, “Getting ready for tea,” she sim- pered. Her companions went on with their work.

By JOSEPH NORTH The intellectuals, most of whom derive from the middle-class, oc- cupy a relatively strategie position in present-day society. From their vantage points they command wide ideological influence, The winning over of the intellectuals acquires es- pecial importanee within the hounds of the struggle to win over the mid- dle-class strata. We are not tne only ones aware of this, The Fas- cists, too, are on the alert. Ger- many has proved this, And in America, the Lawrence Dennises are equally as dangerous as the Huey Longs. They are driying hard for the intellectuals—and making in- roads. We must not forget that the American intellectual is desperate. Affected by middle-class illusions, he is potential material for a Brown Shirt lieutenant. The crisis has swept away any chance for him to realize his petty- bourgeois ambition. Consider his lot today: he is hardest hit of all the middle-class strata. For ex- ample: unemployment among arch- itects has reached as high as 95 per cent in this country! Bankrupt physicians find their X-ray ap- paratus carried onto the pavements by the bailiffs. The head of the Medical Society of New York State reports that doctors have taken to taxi driving and similar jobs tc make their bread. Even in 1933 the Dental Association reported that its members averaged 25 per cent of their incomes of 1929. And their conditions have grown worse since. In New York City.alone more than 10,000 teachers are jobless. Many of them still fortunate enough to hold down a job haye been forced to work for scrip—as in Chicago, Scranton, and elsewhere. Report- ers who used to carn $60 a week, find no market for their wares; writers who find pubiishers must accept contracts 01 beggarly terms. The Professional's Boie as a Worker In other days, the intellectuals, Disillusioned Intellectuals M To the Side of the Revolutio (Prom March-April issue of ust Be Won Over nary Wor the “gilded youth’ as Marx termed them, were often hought up by cap- italism—given favored posts in the courts of the Morgans—lifted up high. Even teday an infinitesimal percentage of them are absorbed into the apparatus of a New Dea! eager to pass itself off as a “little to the left of Center.” But the great majority of trained intellectuals are cast eut of economy—more ecom- pletely than ever before. And they have no “era of prosperity” to look forward to. The intellectual who once considered himself on a plane far beyond that of the “working- man,” who abhorred “collectivism” and all its manifestations, such as trade unions, strikes, militancy, is reyaluating his ideals. When once he considered himself as a separate “estate”—a “professional’—he is to- day forced to consider himself as a “brain-worker” — a ‘white-collar worker.” And he finds himself com- bining in unions. He is talking militantly. He is acting militantly —striking, picketing. The Newspaper Guild is a good example. Newspapermen in the past considered themselves as a profession apart—in fact they fondly calle themselves “the fourth estate.” But 1929-35 has taught them otherwise. They have broken away from the publishers’ infiu- ence: the militant actions in New York, San Francisco, Newark and elsewhere are evidence. The growih in relatively short time of such or- ganizations as the Associated Office and Professional Emergency Em- pre. thes various ‘enghare. organ- tions, Office Workers Union, the Federation of meatnicinas and Engineers, etc., etc., proves that in- tellectuals are being driven, by the crisis, to adopt the “psychology,” the method and actions, the ideology, of the working-class. They are break- ing away from the infivence of the bourgeoisie; they are becoming a| force against the bourgeoisie. The Way Out But we must accelerate the proc- ess of disillusionment; further, we must teach them the way out. Our way out, the Dictatorship of the Proletariat, of Soviet Power. We must win the intellectual before the Fascist dees. To beat the evil, we must give him his due. many has been exceedingly clever in expressing and trading on the discontent of the intellectuals, Hit- ler promised them heaven on earth, But we have more to base our judg- ment on than a Fascist promise, We have Fascist performance. Our job here in America is rendered in- finitely easier by contrasting the lot of the intellectual in Fascist Ger- many, or even in New Deal Amer- ica, with that of the “spetz” in the Soviet Union. We have advantages teday no previous revolutionaries ever enjoyed. We can point to a crowning success—the Soviet Union, We an say to the intellectuals, See how the technicians flourish in the Soviet Union. . The very first year of the second Five-Year Plan, in 1933, educational facilities in the U.S.S.R. were extended to fifty mil- liens of the inhabitants. Soviet ex- penditures on cultural objects are next to economic construction. Twelve billion rubles were ap- propriated in 1933 for education, health protection, and social insur- ance. This is 20 per cent higher than for 1932, We can say fur- ther, to the intellectual—While in the United States educational facil- ities and appropriations were so drastically curtailed that accozding to official estimates more than two and a quarter million children have been denied admission to schools, here is what we find in the Soviet Union in 1933 (and conditions have improved considerably over that year): Elementary schools taught 2,000,000 children more than in 1932. 2,000,000 Scviet students are geiting higher education. Over 30,000 scientific workers are being trained in the 2,000 Soviet re- search institutes, Thousands of Soyiet libraries and reading rooms (33,000 in the The Fascist in Ger- | Science, literature, the arts and | erafts flourish in the Soviet Union; {in Germany books are burned. Miss Grace Abbott, chief of Chil- dren's Bureau of the Department of Labor, admitted that as far back as 1930 more than 6,000,000 children are undernourished—that in 1933 one-fifth of pre-school and school children showed the effects of poor nutrition, inadequate housing and Jack of medical care. More than gether barred from education due to retrenchment in school budgets. In 1933 educational facilities in the Soviet Union were provided for over 50,000,000 persons—fully a third of the population! The Allies of the Proletariat We must remember the American intellectual is badly confused—as, He has been reading the Hearsts and the Villards. He fears the dic- tatorship of the proletariat means a dictatorship levelled against him. He is further befuddled by the of such men as Sidney Hoek which the bourgeois colleges and publish- ing house, peddle as “Marxism.” The intellectuals must be convinced they can participate in the prole- tarian democracy inherent in the dictatorship of the proletariat. They must be made to realize that it is the enemy of the proletariat that feels its dictatorship. And this is the gist of the problem. Again, we must blast once and the Technocrats and their diverse variations, that the technicians opn put across a “push the button” rev- olution (via overnight palace revo- | lutions in which the cente:s of pro- duction are captured by the engin- jeers).

All quest should be addressed te “Ques- tions and Answers,” c/o Daily Worker, 50 East 13th Street, New York City. . Auto Industry and Prosperity Question: Is it true that the auto industry is leading the country back to prosperity? K. R., Washington, N. J. Answer: The auto industry is not leading the country around the corner te prosperity. Present preduetion in the plants is based largely upon fear of strikes in the spring and anticipation of sales. Even so present production is only 60 per cent of what it was in 1929, and only 30 per cent of the industry’s capacity. And for the aute workers the present busy | Season has brought the most ruthless exploitation and inhuman speed-up, and prospects af dismissal in the early spring when the season tapers off. Even the Research Division of the N. R. A. in studye ing conditions had to point out the following cone ditions in America’s “model” indus “Depression competition has spurred the specede up beyond human capability te produce day by day.” “Automobile workers are co! ered old at forty.” . “Annual income is low” (annual wages run from $500 to $900 “Irregularity of employment has increased in recent years.” . While the workers have heen subjected to the most intolerable conditions, the auto manufacturers have been enjoying their best profits since 1930. | General Motors, for example, made profits of $?4,- 000,000 in 1934 at the expense of the living standards and welfare of the workers in its plants. What has happened in the aute industry is a good example of what has happened throughout American industries. The bosses have improved their position and increased their profits through increasing sveed-up and driving down the living standards of the workers. Laboratory and Shop By David Ramsey POLLUTION AND PROFITS For years stee] plants have been polluting streams and the adjacent country side with their waste products. One of the major sources of this pollution was the “pickling” solution used in steel mills. Now it seems that some of this waste will no lenger be discharged into streams where it vir- tually destroys all forms of life. As is usual in such cases the cause is not a humanitarian one— it is now profitable to convert the steel mill waste into useful products. The Titanium Pigment Company of Saint Louis has been treating waste ferrous sulphate with suc- cess—and profits. According to Chemical and Metallurgical Engineering a process has been de- veloped which turns the ferrous sulphate into sul- phuric acid and a residye cinder of iron oxide. The acid is the basic chemical used in industry, and iron oxide is used for many purposes, includ- ing cheap red paints. By using the new process many planis will be able to make part of their own sulphuric acid, which hitherto had been purchased in large quan- tities by thousands of manufacturers. Other forms of inductrial pollution will have to wait for similar profitable reduction of byproducts, before the owners of factories will lift a finger to do away with the evil, * RANDOM NOTES The Department of Commerce reports that 126,- 789,903 books were published in the United States in 1933, a decrease of 21 per cent compared with 1931. The largest decrease was in the number of bibles which declined from 4,676,000 in 1931 to 686,- 000 in 1933. .,.
