International Greetings to
Silk Workers

Cabling their greetings and wishes for victory
Of the Paterson silk strikers the All-Russian Tex
tile Workers Union and the International Propa-
ganda Committee of the Textile Workers have
again demonstrated what international working
class solidarity means. The Russian workers, in
control of their land and rebuilding it on the
basis of Communism, are never too busy to watch
earnestly the struggle of workers in other lands,
and to send their messages of encouragement The
moment they learned of the Paterson strike they
sent their message of solidarity If the strike con
tinues, the Russian textile workers will probably
collect strike support from the mills and factories
of Soviet Russia. They supporting with all
their power the attempts to organize international
action of the working class of the world for vic
torious struggle.
The DAILY WORKER transmits this message
tends the appreciation of the silk strikers and
their friends for the expression of international
solidarity of the workers The whole body of tex
tile workers in America, and the entire conscious
working class will fight with greater energy and
enthusiasm under the inspiration of that ideal of
revolutionary unity that is famingly held be-
fore them by the heroic Russian workers.
Long live the Paterson silk workers.
Long live the revolutionary struggle against
capitalism
Long live the Russian unions and their govern
ment, the Union of Socialist Soviet Republics! ,

A Clumsy Liar

The tales of blood and terror promised by Jake
Spolansky to the readers of the Chicago Daily
News have not yet materialized tho it is apparent
that he has already fired his heaviest mud guns.
This audacious liar and particularly stupid fink,
has spun yarn that for sheer disregard for truth
establishes record even among stoolpigeons.
Jake is paid to establish the headquarters of his
imaginary "Red Terror in Chicago He does that
Satchels full of bombs are seen at a distance but
the clever department of justice spies never get
even as near to them as the Senate committee in
vestigating the oil frauds got to the famous sache
in which Doheny, jr., carried the 100000 to
former secretary of the interior Albert B. Fall.
In fact all Spolansky's plots fall to the ground
even as near to them as the Senate committee in
1t appears that this vermnous brood formed
sort of closed corporation and engaged in general
business of plotmaking and exposing. All bust
ness was done on the premises and orders were
treated confidentially. The family made the plots
at the supper table and solved them over the coffee
and doughnuts in the morning. They made liv-
ing at it which shows that this is still land of
opportunity-at least for sewer rats of the SpO-
lansky type.
One particular part of the Spolansky yarn how
ever is enuf to create feeling of nausea in the
reader over the coldbooded manner in which this
human skunk describes the murder of Andrea Sal
sedo by the department of justice in New York.
This young Italian lad fell from a window high up
in building in New York skyscraper. The ac-
copied view of the story is that he hurled from
that height by government agents.
There was no evidence against Salsedo or
against any of the alleged anarchists who we're ar

Matched by the stoolpigeons in order to create pub
lie hysteria and bring in business.

even more definite and sinister. Let
me quote again from the publication

THE Allies have won the first war,
and they will win the second. Until
they do, the fight to make the world
safe for democracy is only half fin

Or listen to this from "The Spirit

Or lastly, read this from Women

"Bolshevism and Americanism can
not exist in the same land. Our fight
is not yet over One war has been

we must fight with all our strength
Of will and purpose. 1t is the fight
Of Americanism against BoIshevism

World War, hesitate to say on which
side they stand"
That is the reason for American
Education Week, from Nov. II to
Nov %. Already the capitalists are
organizing their forces, spreading
their propaganda to prepare the work
ing class youth for the conflict to
come. And how are we to combat
this? The Workers Party has an
organization whose one purpose is
education Of the working class chill
dren to their role in the class strug
gle. The Junior Section of the Young
Workers League. Junior Groups under
the direction of local branches of the
Young Workers League and some
times of the party, are in existence
in all parts of the Unites States. 1t
is the only organization in the United
States which is Systematically com
batting the vicious propaganda of the
capitalists. 1t is the duty of every
party branch, of every local of the
Young Workers League, to get behind
the children's movement whole
heartedly and help them in their great
task of bearing the message to other
working class children in spite Of this
organized propaganda against them,

BY LILLIAN soReEsoN.

THAT the public schools of this
l country are really the tools Of the
capitalist class and are recognized as
such by the government, is conclus-
lively proved by the proposed program
Of the United States Bureau of Educa'
ton for American Education Week, a
week to be entirely devoted to anti
radical propaganda and to be officially
abserved in all the schools thruout
the nation.
From Nov. IL, to Nov. 20, the
Bureau Of Education in cooperation
with the red-baiting American Legion
and the labor-hating National Educa-
tional Association, are to concentrate
on the task Of instilling in the chill
dren of the working class blind al
legience to the capitalist system and
a deep hatred and lasting distrust of
anything radical.
A few quotations from the program
are sufficient to let the workers know
just what kind Of education, the
bureau means by American Educa-
ton" Tuesdays program is typical.
l. The red flag means death, des-
truction, poverty, starvation, disease
! anarchy, and dictatorship.
2. Help the immigrants and aliens
to become American citizens.
/ 8. Take an active interest in govern
ment affairs.
4. Stamp out revolutionary radical
ism.
5. To vote is the primary duty Of
every citizen.
Slogans:
America first.
Visit the schools today.
The red flag means danger.
And there are seven days in the
week, for each of which is provided
similar propaganda! And that is not
all! Teachers are already urging the
working class children to send ten
cents apiece to the National Security
League to secure material for observ-
ance OF the week. This National Sec
urity League is an organization of
wealthy business and professional
men dedicated to fighting the men
ace" of Communism in this country,
and one of its specific functions is to
furnish patriotic" material to teach
ers, especially to teachers of children
in the poorer and foreign districts.
This material consists of stories for
the children and articles addressed
to the teachers which may be tran.
scribed by them into the language OF
the boys and girls. All Of the mater
ial is concerned with one subject:
combating radicalism.
The ruling class realizes keenly the
importance of getting control of the

Tag Day

The New York section of the Workers Party is
displaying energy and ingenuity in using the cleo
ton period for the purpose of spreading Commun-
list propaganda, and crystallizing the sentiment
against capitalism among the New York workers
behind the candidacy of Foster, Gitlow and the
Communist candidates in the Empire state
Campaigns cost funds and there are no Spreckels,
vanderlips nor millionaire Hillquts at the beck
and call of the Workers Party. The sinews Of war
must be raised from the masses in small sums. A
Tag Day was decided on.
Tag Days are not new Innovations, but this is
the first time, we believe, that Tag Day is pro-
posed in order to collect funds for political party.
The party branches in New York have taken
hold Of the idea with enthusiasm. certain al.
lotment was made to each branch but most Of them
raised the Ggure and some Of them almost doubled
il. The Young Workers League, for instance, ac-
septed AN allotment Of $500 per member which is
fifty pu cent higher than the quotas assigned to
the Workers Parry branches.

There Is Crashing of Teeth

When John L. Lewis lifted the charter from
District 26 of the United Mine Workers and -sus-
pended the duly elected officers of the Nova Scotia
Miners the resentment among the coal diggers was
very strong and justly so. Many of them thought
the best way to reply to the attack of the reac-
tionary Lewis would be to secede from the Interna
tional But for the fine work of the Communists
and the Trade Union Educational League, Lewis
would have accomplished his purpose-to rid Dis
trict 26 of the radicals.
1t was during this period of trial that the
cuckoos of the o. B. u of Canada made their ap-
pearance. AS labor organization the o. B. u.
is good gambling joint. 1t is competing with the
Chinese, On Leong and Hip Sing tongs in Canada
From the profits of it's gambling enterprise it was
able to send emissaries into Nova Scotia where the
workers are revolutionary But instead of helping
them to fight Lewis the o. B. u strategists adopted
the Lewis tactics. Had they been his payroll,
the o. B. U.ites would not have done his work
better than they did.
That they failed is fault of theirs, but of the
splendid solidarity and logged determination of
the rank and file of the Nova Scotia miners, the
leadership of the Trade Union Educational League
and of the miners leaders who were suspended by
Lewis The Maritime Labor Herald also a
tower of strength to the workers who were fight

miners.
sect out of the U. NJ w. of A. and join the o.

Despite the presence of "actor" Legere, whose
latest "Foies" had twoyear run in Lawrence,
Mass, the miners Of Nova Scotia did not show the
white feather quit the struggle against Lewis.
They stayed in their own union and licked the In
danapolis bully to standstill and in doing so
struck a heavy blow at Besco. They repudiated
the secessionsts and elected set of militants as
district officers as soon as Lewis was compelled
to restore their autonomy District 26 is still

Workers of America and in position to join

tons of the miners union in waging war on Lewis

The victory of the Nova Scotia mitants is an
other vindication Of the policy Of the Trade Union
Educational League and a damaging defeat for
the muddle-headed acrobats of the o. B. U. and
their secessonist policy.

In the marble halls Of the bathing

In the marble halls Of the bathing
palace,
They waited for turn
At the mineral baths Of the Cucasus,
Long lines of grumbling folks
The Private Persons"
Waiting for chance to pay
Three or four dollars
And have some HOT MUD plastered
on them,
In the gorgeous pavilion once reserved
For the aristocracy of Russia
A worker standing beside me
Laughed as he told of the day
When they put him Off the special
branch train
That runs to the health resorts,
Because his CLOTHES marked him
WORKER,
But now he was sent by his UNION
To place in the best sanitarium.
And we watched
The PRIVATE PERSONS,
The well-dressed men and women,
The new-rich folks of Russia,
Who had not been sent by any Union,
But came on their own to battle
here
How they stood or sat and waited
For some vacancy to happen.
But every 40 minutes
When they nearly reached the desk
Came a flood from the sanitariums,
WORKERS from mine and factory,
In their sanitarium bath-coats,
All with their free reservations,
And swept to the head of the table,
To take from the man who sat there
The bath-checks kept in waiting.
And after the workers were served
There might be place or two empty
To go to that grumbling line OF
Private Persons.
Then one OF the waiting crowd,
A well-dressed woman,
Who was used all her life
To being served by others,
Grew angry at the host
OF workers sweeping past her.
We have been waiting
THREE HOURS. she said,
And you have all the places.
But an old, bent woman turned,
A factory worker.
Sent by the Social Insurance
For rheumatism gained in the damp
ness OF work,
To be cured in the mountains.
She tossed her long bath-coat 10 the
other shoulder,
And waved her hand with the check
The Social Insurance gave her;
And said to the grumbling rich
Whose money bought no favors;
But WE have been waiting
Three hundred years
While you took al tho places.

PEAK OF JAPANESE
 AGITATION IS PAST
 SAY FOREIGN EXPERTS
JAPANESE WILL BOYCOTT ALL AMERICAN GOODS AND
 LUXURIES

TOXIC, June 17-The belief that the peak of the agitation in Japan, against the enactment of an immigra ton law, barring Japanese, has pass ed, was expressed in well-informed circles here yesterday. The activities of the agitation, it was agreed can not continue for more than two or three weeks, but regardless of the forecast, however, efforts to extend the Japanese boycott against things American could be observed today.
 Delegations of members of the Great Forward Society, the organiza- tion which arranged Saturday nights demonstrations at the Imperial Hotel, visited the larger department stores, trying to persuade the stores not to sell American m merchandise; and hand bills were scattered throughout the city, urging the people to boycott all luxuries as well as American goods and to show their patriotism by do- 
 ing so.
 Police officials took occasion to de- ny the previous reports that they had had advance warning of the dem onstration a week ago Saturday, in which members of the Great For ward Society and other agitators, broke up dance at the Imperial Ho- tel, with bitter anti-American speech ed made from the center of the dance floor. The police insisted that they were doing everything in their power to protect Americans from injury and insult. Responsible Japanese spokes- men also unanimously regretted the ipoi1nnt
