The departments report shows that
even If we leave out the two years
Of depression, which the republican
administration inherited from prev.
ious imitation, the average of employ
ment for which republicans are direct
ly responsible is considerably below
the 10 year average. In only months

months, which represent all the pro-
sperity they can show, employment
was still per cent below the average
Of the years Immediately preceding
the day when Harding and Coolidge
took Office.
Like the figures showing business
failure, however, this employment in
dex extending from 1914 to date
shows that both old political parties
are responsible for the conditions
which make unemployment chronic

cause their lease on Office depends
largely on how they govern in the

Views on Music

To The DAILY WORKER:-I agree
with Comrade Alfred v. Frankenstein
when he says, 1.-THE rendition of jazz
music is one of the fine arts" 1.-THE
symphonic handling of it combined
with sweeping, wild and excessive
ly difficult piano part, knocks the
highbrows off their feet" Jazz (along
with Sanburgian free-verse, and slang)
is part Of the budding infantile pro-
let-cult of America, which having
been given it's greatest impetus by
young, proletarian Negroes, should be
encouraged by Communists.
AS a breaker of religious idols, set
up by music-masters of the old world,
the syncopated harmonical technique
of Paul Whiteman's orchestra is with
out parallel.
However, European music should
not be discarded, for, as a great
Russian political economist recently
stated, when referring to religion as
well as the various branches of the
arts, "The proletariat should use it's
heritage"

American Legion.
In the November issue of the Nor
NAL Instructor and Primary Plans" on
page 81, the question is asked: What
are you doing in your school to fur.
Their this splendid movement"
This use Of the schools must be
brot before the working class again
and again. The need OF working class
education for working class children
must be driven home. "He who holds
the children, holds the future" We
must overcome the insidious influence
OF tho capitalist school over the mind
Of the rising children.

The Daily News, published by the
Negroes alleged friend, Victor Law
son, in its issue of Friday, October
"a, 1924, contains so-called expose
Of Red propaganda among Negroes
by Spolansky, the fink, stool-pigeon,
agent provocateur and sewer rat This
article contains lies, filth and absur-
dities Of such revolving nature, that
even a lunatic would disbeIieve the
contents of this article.
Victor Lawson, like the other cap.
italist editors, is solely interested in
defending and trying to keep capital
ism in existence. One way to do that
is to create prejudice in the minds OF
white workers against Negro workers
by constantly disseminating anti-Neg-
70 propaganda, to keep the Negro and
white workers separate and divided,
and to prevent them from presenting
united front to the exploiters, en-
ployers and capitalists. This Victor
Lawson's paper does to perfection,
Negro workers must learn that all
capitalist editors and newspapers are
their enemies, and are the chief in
stigators Of prejudice, determinations
and riots against them.

Ever Met This Poor DubY

To the DAILY WORKER: Another
farmer had his cattle sold in auction
in the state of LaFollette because he
was unable to pay his mortgage on
time. But bad as this is, the farmer
needed the lesson. For it seems that
only thru many bitter experiences
shall we workers learn the simple les.
son that there are two classes in this
country: the exploiters and the ex.
plotted.
This farmer, John Taltinen, living
in the vicinity of Poplar, Wis, is the
father Of eight children. During the
war, to save waste and win the war,
he helped by filling the bread he and
his children ate with bran out of the
same sack he fed to his cattle.
Strange as it may seem he is still
strong for capitalism. He argues that
probably "LaFollette didn't know of
the foreclosure" 1t is a blessing he
says that no bolsheviks are allowed
in this country because they coniis.

An old adage says, Beware Of the
Greeks bearing gifts"
Victor Lawson, owner, publisher,
and editor Of the Chicago Daily News,
a capitalist newspaper, poses a
friend Of Negroes. Mr.. Lawson is a
leading light in the time serving, boot

organization which advises Negroes to

Working-C Class Sport
VS.. Bourgeois Sport,
Issue Before Labor

Working men and women, fellow
athletes and sport lovers, while you
have been a member of one Of those
sport organizations that are supposed
to be neutral as far as class interests
or politics are concerned, did you ever
stop to think-wny it is that the fac
tory in which you work has base
ball or some other sort of athletic
team organized by the management?
Why is it that the Y. M. c. A., the Y.
w. c. A., Y. M. H. A. and the Y. w.
III. A. get $4,000 presents from some
Rockefeller or Gary? Why is it that
the American Amateur Athletic Union
has at its head a rich industrial or a
banking magnate to supervise the
activities of the organizations to which
thousands of young workers belong?
1t is became the bosses are interested
only in the development Of their work
ers? Do they, the bosses, really care
for their workers health? No! They
do it because their class (the CAPT
the athletic and sport movement that
is supposed to be neutral but in
reality is tool of the master class
How can this be explained? you may
ask.
The capitalist class finds that by
sports they are able to draw the
young workers into the sphere of pat
riotic propaganda that teaches that it
is unpatriotic to so on strike, etc.
And by making the more advanced
athletes or the stars the ideals or
heroes of every young man or woman
they are able thru their news
papers to raise the athletic enthusiasm
to such high pitch that the sport
lovers become like maniacs that care
for nothing else than their favorite
sport, and if they are athletes them
selves all their thoughts are busy
with the problem, "how would l be
able to become as famous as my
hero" that gets pages of propaganda
from the capitalist press. Thus the
capitalist class has profited by diver
ing the thoughts of their workers
away from the exploitation that they
are subject to and makes them blind
to the economic conditions that con-
front them. Thus the term neutral
sports really means neutralizing
workers in the class struggle.
Workers, Join and build up the
workers sport movement by joining
the Workers Sport Alliance, whose
object it is to make the working class
of this country healthy physically and
also mentally by making them class
conscious. Thus making them able
both physically and mentally to op-
pose the attacks Of their foes, tho
capitalist class and its lackeys and
stool-pigeons. In the Workers Sport
Alliance you get a chance to particl-
pate in your favorite sport. as we'll as
a chance to become familiar with the
economic system OF society that you
live under.

Some Opinions By Teachers.

oome opinions py IeacnerS.
To the DAILY WORKER: 1 dis
tributed 1.-THE LaFollette Illusion" to
a group of progressive teachers. They
intend voting for LaFollette. Their
point of view may be interesting.
They realized that LaFollettes pro-
gram is inadequate, but were anxious
to take crack at the two old parties.
One of them declared that LaFollette
was step forward His rise to power
would permit the left wing in his own
party greater freedom of action. He
conceded that the Communists made
out a pretty strong case in the La
Toilette pamphlet.
Another was anxious to see what
LaFollette would do, despite the fact
that he had long ago lost all respect
for the socialists and really favored
labor candidate for president.
A third agreed that the ultimate
aim Of Communism was correct, "but
first there came Kerensky and then
came the Bolsheviks."
A fourth considered LaFollette a
politician, making deals for places in
the cabinet with the Bryan democrats,
etc. This was practical politics La
Toilette in power would probably be
as bad as the old partyites. He saw
in LaFollette a representative of the
middle class rather than Of the work
ers.
There is little implicit faith in the
LaFollette myth among the, progress
sive rank and file of the white col
lariat. The drift, the prejudice of one
step at a time and the desire to be
led out of the great American desert
of reaction account for their support
of man whose policies they have
little faith in.
Fraternally yours,
