To rise in the glory that circles Gods

AS it is Right Now

That is because motor car buyers are scru-
tinizing and comparing automobile values
now as they have not done for years.
A market such as this always brings into
sharp relief values that are really sound.
1t shows which cars are overpriced and
which cars are worth every dollar asked
for them
This process of comparison is emphasizing
anew the superiority of Nash Six value.
1t is making plain just how low priced the
Nash Six is in comparison with those cars
which even approximate it in cost

Two Letters On Trade Unionism


together, the problem of revolutionzing the labor
movement Of America will soon cease to be a
puzzle; it will become only necessary job of
work to be done, and we will set to it with will
1t is fortunate circumstance that your letter
was inspired by the recent publication in the Toll
er of the appeal To The Labor Unions" by the
Communist International say this because sub
scribe to the opinion that the strategy of the ad
vancng working class must be mapped out on an
international scale and because believe the Conf
munist international, standing as it does at the
head of the worlds revolutionary movement, is
the organization to which we will learn to look
more and more for advice and guidance in the
desperate struggles that lie ahead of us.
1t will interest you to learn that the second
congress of the Communist International, recently
held at Moscow with 35 countries represented,
dealt exhaustivey with the perplexing question
of trade unionism and, making due allowance for
the special conditions which obtain in the diff
ferent countries, laid down some general policies
which it is our duty to consider and to see where
in they apply to the peculiar problem that con-
fronts us here in America which at the outbreak
of the war had developed the most reactionary
labor organization in the world. The A. F. Of L.,
alongside of the most advanced and militant type,
the l. W. w.
Favor Work In Old Unions.
The second congress arrivedSat some con-
clusions which run counter to one of our establish
ed dogmas, and am wondering how they will be
l~1 Il
stock and ask ourselves whether there is not some
merit in their view or wi'we make the stereotyp-
ed answer that Russian conditions do not prevail
in America, and go on along the accustomed road
that leads us nowhere
am going to quote briefly from Radek's
The toiler. [volume] (Cleveland, Ohio) 1919-1922, 1920-11-06

Editor, The Toier:
That appeal To The Labor Unions" contain
ed in the Oct 10Th issue of the Toiler affords
very valuable material for showing up the Americ
an labor unions as they really are. 1t is too bad
we couldn't have had the benefit of this expose
long ago, but suppose it couldn't have been ap-
precated then as well as it can be now in the
light of recent corroborative experience.
The inference to be drawn from this appeal
Of the Third international is that these comfort
able respectable" old unions, that have proved
to be so thoroughly part and parcel of the capital
ist system, can become and are becoming revolu-
tionary! For myself, doubt it, but as yet the
problem has not been definitely settled in my mind
and | am still considerably puzzled regarding it.
Are the old unions any more worth "captur-
ing" than the capitalist system is worth reform
ing? Then, on the other hand, I've heard pro-
minent student in the movement make the asser-
ton that when the revolution comes, the workers
will have to function through whatever organiza-
tion they happen to have at the time
This problem of the unions is bothersome
one for me, and feel the Toier can do good
service right now by inviting and airing views
from those workers who have something sound
to offer on this timely topic

ANSWER BY THE EDITOR OF THE TOILER
Dear Comrade Cole:
Your letter is of great interest because the
questions you raise are among the most vital that
confront the rebel workers of America at the
present time. We ought by all means, to have
discussion in the Toiler by informed workers in
the labor movement to the end that all points OF
view may be fused together and a common plan
Of action worked out If we will get our heads

HISTORIC RELIC.
Musical Reminder Of Old Wilmington .

The City Library has just acquired an
interesting bit of historical material, a
reminder of it's own carly days, when it was
the Wilmington Institute. This item of
historical interest is The Wilmington
Institute Schottisch, q musical compost
ION written by Joseph II. Cloud, local
musician. IL bears the copyright date
1864 and consequently must have been
written tor some occasion IN the early
annals Of the Institute. which was formally
dedicated and opened in 1861.
Joseph III. Cloud was music teacher,
who lived in Brandywine Village, and old
residents probably remember him as one
oi those versatile beings who did little
oi everything He is said to have been
something Of a botanist, to have done some
papcrhanging and painting on occasion

TO have thrown cannon cracker at
young man passing on the street The
young mans companion took exception
to this and as result the hurler of the
