Making Money Out Of immigration
The Philips bill, in addition to
what has been outlined above, makes
provision for the United States to
make the nice little sum of 100000
600 annually out Of immigrant work
ers. The bill provides that not more
than 100000 immigrants shall be
permitted to enter this country each
year and that each immigrant shall
pay at the time Of making his appli-
cation, fee Of 500. If the immi-
grant is denied permission to enter
the United States, the government
generously" returns 500 Of the APP
plication fee, but should he come to
this country, it will cost him the full
$40.
Another provision Of the Philips
bill is that the Commissioner Cen
eral of immigration shall take into
consideration the then industrial
conditions in the United States" in
determining the number of immi-
grants who are to be admitted in any
one year. This is another clever pro
vision making it possible for the
employers to secure workers when
they need them and to keep them
away when they have no need for an
additional labor supply. OF course,
one Of the times when the employers
need labor badly is when there is a
great strike on, such as a miners
strike, involving a half million work
ers.

Denounce Lies of
Daily Forw0rd'


NEW YORK CITY.-Several humid
red walters made a protest demon
stration on East Broadway, in New
York City, in front Of the ten-story
building Of the Jewish Socialist
newspaper, the Forward, this yellow
est of yellow sheets, to denounce the
Forward for printing lying reports
about the elections in Local No. /
Of the Walters Union. The demon
strating walters carried posters with
inscriptions such as these: "Why
does the Forward print lies about
the walters union ?" "Who controls
the 'Forward'?" eve demand just
ice.'
The reactionary henchmen Of the
Forward had committed brnzen
frauds in the elections Of officers for
that local, and the New York For
ward put the blame on the left ele-
ments, printing all kinds Of lies about
them. The demonstration of the
walters was a spontaneous one, grow
ing out Of the conviction Of the wait
ers that a small clique Of Forward
Socialists are conspiring against
them.

the COmmlSs1oner-Gen of lmmi-
grafton as to whether any particular
immigrant shall be permitted to come
to this country and instructs that the
Commissioners General shall take into
consideration the physical condition,
the mental capacity, the moral quah-
fcations Of the applicant and also the
desirability of the applicant as a resi-
dent or citizen Of the United States
from a social, economic and indus
trial viewpoint.
There we have the real reason for
the avalanche of bills against the
workers. The employ
ing class for which Congress is act
ing is very much concerned about the
social, economic and industrial view

to come to the United States. They
want to bar all those who are in any
way antagonistic TO their specially
privileged position and who may be-

ing for a higher standing of a labor
movement, fighting for a higher
standard Of living for the workers
of this country.
Under the provisions Of this law,
not single European worker who
believes in trade unionism, who has
any radical political views, or the
slightest inclination to fight against
the capitalist system in any form
will get into the United States.
In other words, the employing class
wants to bring to the United States

ready made answers. We lead them
to look for the causes Of these vari-
Gus things.
There is class feeling in all
children. They all know that they
suffer under the conditions of their
life, and that suffices for the begin
ming. They are brought into the
dlass struggle not thru any super
imposed theories, but thru actuali-
ties. Thus we neither "teach" them
Communism or ask them to learn
ready made lessons-we only lead
and inspire them so that they be-
come communists Of their own ac-
cord. For children can be commun-
istsl The distribution of their paper,
the Young Comrade", among other
children is communist propaganda
sometimes even a militant activity.
There are instances in the Public
Schools where the existence of hos
tile forces Is brought to their OBJ
servatlon and experience. They carry
Communism into the working class
families. They arouse land inspire
their parents. They become the
teachers of their brothers and sisters.
The child--far more than the adult
has force and energy enough to de-
vote itself fully and without reserva-
ton to q cause and to agitate for it
on all occasions, favorable and un-
favorable alike.
The leaders Of the Junior Groups
are often startled and amazed by the
energy and comprehension of the
children. They realize the absurdity
OF all the old discussions of "peda-
gogic methods" Not only the lead
ers, but all Of US can learn from the
children.

OBJECT LESSONS.

The Junior Groups require IN their
communist education neither bulky
tones nor 'pedagogic systems. Our
great book which lies open before US
is the crumbling capitalist social
system. A working class teacher
and especially a communist teacher
needs one particular qualification
the power to observe and to under
stand what he observes. Learn to
see! Learn to hear. These are the
notices of the leaders Of the Junior
Groups. And for their methods
these consist in inducing the children
to express what arises in their own
minds from what they themselves see
and hear. Every shop window, eve
ry pedestrian on the street-rich and
poor--his walk, his clothing, the
men who push barrows and the men
who ride in Rolls-Royces, the rail-

their workers, the barracks, soldiers
and officers, the Stun districts and

Everything reflects the privileges Of

ROWLING WITH
ANTI-HYLANITES
Would Use Teachers
Union as Catspaw

NEW YORK CITY.-A few DAYS
ago, Abraham Lefkowitz, the
doughty leader Of the so-called Amer
lean Labor Party, and delegate of
Teachers Union, Local 5, introduced
a resolution in the New York Cen
trail Trades and Labor Council, con-
demning the efforts on the part of
politicians to control the city school
system, and demanding an investi-
cation.
This is the same cry that is being
raised by the Republican Party and
the entire Anti-Hylan crowd. In
other words Lefkowitz is using the
Teachers Union as catspaw for
the dirty work Of the politicians who
demand finger in the rich pie Of
patronage, who want the public
schools controlled not by the Hylan
coterie, but by themselves.
Here was an excellent opportun-
ity to introduce the idea of the ne
cessity for independent political &C.
ton on the part Of labor. The work
ers are vitality interested in the
schools. They want their children
to be properly educated. Instead Of
pointing out therefore, that the APP
pointment of policy-maSing officials
must of necessity involve politics,
that the school system is but part
OF the machine Of patronage neces-
sary to strengthen the power of the
city politicians, and that therefore
the workers must establish their own
political party to secure political
control of the schools, Lefkowitz. a
teacher of history and economics,
ostensibly profound student of the
labor movement and an advocate of
independent political action, naively
points out that we must protest
against the use Of politics in the
schools. We can ascribe such tactics
to but one of two causes-ignorance
or insincerity.

Children Write This Paper.


Can little children write their own
paper? The YOUNG COMRADE,
issued by the Junior Section Of the
Young Workers League Of America,
proves as much. For instance,
glance over the February issue lust
out. 1t is small paper, eight pages,
yet more than half Of it Is written
by workers children 10, II, IL and
13 years of age. One Of the kids
writes an article on reform schools;
and who can best feel and under
stand the brutality Of these exclusive
capitalist institutions than those af-
fected by them--the children? Suf-
fering is mainly a subjective con-
dition. II we could get the child
laborers to express themselves, even
if in crude letters and articles, you
would have some bitter human docu-
ments Of brutal degradation.
We have heard too much about
educating" children. The YOUNG
COMRADE is an attempt to get
away from the accepted idea Of
merely educating the children in es-
tablished dogmas, long-continued ser
Witty. A workers child is a rebel
without any education. However, the
proper systematic class education Of
the child is most necessary step.
His conditions of life, properly inter-
preted, are enough to stamp him an
enemy of capitalism. Education
thru observation Of the class strug-
gle and life" is the slogan of the
Communist Children's groups, and
that is the idea behind the YOUNG
CoMRADE.
Tho only few months in exist
ence, the YOUNG CoMRADE has
leaped to a 5000 circulation, and is
growing daily. The children Of the
working have leen neglected:
we pay the proper attention to the
trade Unions, political parties; anil
such things are necessary. But no
Communist movement can overlook
the millions of Riddles brought up
in environments Of misery and suffer
ing and not use this potential mass
of future wage slaves in the interest
of their own emancipation. Then,
too, a child in the hands of some
capitalist teacher is a future soldier
against the working class.

Borah Rout Foes
of Souiets' Rule

WASHINGTON, D. C.-Samuel
Gompers and Chester Wright, the
publicity engineer of his anti-red
crusades, have been attending all the
Senate Foreign Relation subcommit-

routing the foes Of Russian recog4
milton.
Borah's demand that the State De-

information which Robert K. Kelly.
Its Bolsheviki expert says it bases
part Of its case on, got no applause
from Mr.. Gompers who also declares
that he has Trustworthy" sources
Of information that he does not re-
veal.
When Senator Pepper ran to the
rescue Of Kelly, saying that the al
legged confidential information would
be handled at executive sessions Of
the committee Borah burst out:
Committee can do as 1t pleases;
| don't want secret information for
myself"
Borah forced Kelly to admit that
lives would be imperiled by the
State Departments disclosures Of the
sources Of such information.
One Of the horrors Of Sovietism
which Kelly testified to was the ex-
clusion Of employers and clergymen
from voting In Soviet elections. In re-
ply, Borah declared that the Soviet
Government Is responsible to the
peasants constituting 80 per cent Of
the population and cited the adop-
