TEACHERS OPPOSE
FACTORY SYSTEM
FOR EDUCATION
Denounce Rockefeller
Influence

Attacking the Carnegie and the
Rockefeller foundations for their OPP
position to expenditures for education,
and for their attempts to impose
system of industrial education on the
public schools, members of the Amer
lean Federation of Teachers, assem-
bled in annual convention at the Web
ster Hotel went on record as opposed
to the introduction of factory methods
and business Standardization in the
schools.
Such institutions as the Rockefel-
Ter foundation exercise peculiar under
ground influence on the schools" said
Miss Jenny A. Wilcox of Chicago.
1.-THE board of trustees of the founda-
ton will hint that the public is spend
ing too much of its money for educa-
ton. Within few weeks the board
Of education of one city will decide
that teachers salaries are too high.
In the cities of neighboring state
the directors of the board will sud-
denly begin to consider the merits of
the platoon system-which is simply
money-saving device"
Condemn War.
"The Rockefeller foundation has
been particularly eager that children
be trained to take jobs in factories
and in offices, instead of being given
general education
Reconstruction of courses in the
schools to eliminate teaching that
makes for war and the attitudes that
lead to war was recommended to the
convention by the committee on legis-
lation. The convention condemned
war as "a menace to civilization"
The committee also advocated the
creation of a world court to develop
an. international code and that a ref
erendum be taken before any war is
begun.
Platoon System Coming Up.
How to take part in the class war
politely, and make over the industrial
system without breaking any of the
rules of etiquette, was explained to
the convention by representatives of
the Brookwood Labor College at Ka-
tonah, N. Y, by means of pamphlets
containing speeches of Brookwood
/ professors. I'VE advocate work in
the labor movement, but we cannot
agree with those who preach doc
trine of love-" is the statement con-
tanned in one of the circulars.
The platoon system will come up
for discussion at an early session Of
the federation.

Shocking! Priest is Pspal

JERUSALEM, July 2.-"LaJuive,"
the opera by Halevy, has been pro-
hibited in Jerusalem by the Palestine
government, as a result Of the pro-
tests of Catholic circles here. The
government hesitated for some time
before ordering that no further per-
formances be given.
Cardinal Giori was the chief COM
plainant against the opera, claiming
that the last act in which a Cardinal
is depicted as the father of a child
is shocking to the religious feelings
Of the Catholics. In demanding the
prohibition of the opera, the Catholic
leaders referred to the article in the
Palestinian Mandate forbidding plays
which may be insulting to any of the
religious communities.

members Of school boards and other
local officials. We must especially keep
in mind the fact that the emancipation
of the Negro today is more largely a
matter of state law and local ordi-
nance than Of national enactment and
that the Interpretation Of the law by
the courts and the administration OF
the law by officials are just as import
ant and often far more important than
its actual content.
1--WE need, therefore, to redouble our
agitation and our efforts in court action
and law administration, and we need
especially to use our ballot in order to
reward our friends and to punish our
enemies. We must utterly ignore
party labels and vote for the man who
will best serve us and our country.
Should Problem
"The need for such determination is
shown in many ways but perhaps more
especially by the continued attitude
of this nation toward the education Of
Negro children. We have no adequate
common school facilities and we have
continually put forward by United
States government, state and local Of
1cials and the great philanthropic
foundations, not only undemocratic
segregation in education, but the
astonishingly undemocratic doctrine
that Negroes should have no voice in
the education of their own children
but that their schools and colleges
should be dominated by their enemies.
We have repeatedly asked Federal aid
for education and in answer we have
now bill before Congress which seeks
to grant it but which is a travesty on
justice and would perpetuate in local
school systems these very discrimina-
tions against which we vigorously pro-
test.
Nothing will more quickly bring
the old parties to clear realization
of their obligations to us and the ma
tion than a vigorous third party move
ment Such a movement may save us
from a choice between half-hearted
friends and half-concealed enemies or
from the necessity of voting for the
same oppression under different party
names. Such a movement may give
the American Negro and other sub
merged classes a chance to vote more
directly for economic emancipation
from monopoly and privilege and a
fairer chance to work according to
ability and share more equitably in
the social income.
Learn How to Vote
FINALLY, may we remind the new
immigrants to the North as we'll as
Negroes living there that the greatest
significance Of this migration is the
increased political power of black men
in America. We have at last found an
effective method not only to punish
the mob, the segregationalist and the
disfranchiser through economic boy
colt, but also a chance to gain for our
selves new political power in order to
vote our people into freedom.
But this means nothing unless it is
used with far-reaching intelligence. We
must learn to vote; we must study de-
mocracy and government; we must not
be ashamed, any Of US, to confess our
ignorance Of the machinery of the
American government and of the
methods Of its political life. Let us
earn what voting means and for whom
to vote and how to vote ourselves into
free, modern, industrial democracy"

friendly and fraternilizing. In cities
both north and south, with few .exoep-
itiOns, the Negroes are forced to re-
side in segregated residential districts.
Negroes while travelling thru the
south to ride in jim-crow cars or sec
tions, which comprise the mems smok
ing compartment, and are refused SER
vice in the dining car, and denied SER
vice given to other public travellers.
Every state in the south and many
northern states, prohibit by statute
marriage between Negroes and whites,
despite the fact that the two races
have been and still are mixing very
intimately in the south as well as in
the north. When the Negro chattel
slaves were first brought from Africa
to the United States they were all
black. but today as a result of the
dreaded so-caIled social equality"
which has been going on between the
Negroes and the whites since the Ne
gr0es first landed in this country, Ne
groeg today are of every shade and
color from fast black to lily white.
In fact many Negroes can and may
easily pass for white. This proves
concretely that despite the anti-inter-
marriage laws, Negroes and whites
mix very intimately together.
Negro and white workers holding
joint meetings are constantly nolested
by the police as tho they we're crimi-
mails. The capitalist newspapers stir
up prejudice and riots against Negroes
by displaying in large headlines
across their front pages real or i'm
aginary crimes attributed to Negro
or Negroes, always placing the word

line, thereby discrediting the Negroes
in general.

Negroes and the Caste System

was also disseminated by the white
masters among their Negro chattel
slaves, stating that the Negro slaves
we're better and should not mix with
white wage workers who were termed
poor white trash"
This propaganda proved very eff
fective in keeping apart the Negro
chattel slaves and white wage work
ers, and with few notifications to
comply with new conditions is still
used today. to keep Negro and white
wage workers separate and apart. AS
a result Of this propaganda many Ne
gro workers still refer to white work
ers as poor white trash and many
white workers refer to Negro workers
as ''Niggers."
The conditions which the employing
class do all in their power to prevent
from existing between the Negro and
white workers. is social contact, the
unionization Of the Negro workers
along with the white workers, and free
speech and assemblage Social con-
tact between Negro and white work
srs, would make them become friendly
and understand each other, and real
ize their identity of interests as work
srs. Negro workers in the same un-
ons with white workers, would pre-
vent the use of Negro workers as
strikebreakers by the employers dur
ing strikes. Glass conscious speakers
telling the Negro and white workers
of their identity of interests, and try
ing to organize them to better their
living conditions, are constantly be-
ing molested and prohibited from
speaking.

Communism the Solution.
This capitalist anti-NegrO propa-
ganda, is what keeps the Negro and
white workers separate and apart and
suspicious of each other, and enables
the capitalists and employers to rob
and exploit both groups of workers.
This caste system, or color line, is one
of the main props OF capitalism and
can only be eliminated by destroying
the capitalist system. Communists
the world over, recognize but one
race, the human race, composed of
two classes, the working class and
the exploiting class. Communists
champion the cause of all workers re-
gardless of their race, color or creed
and ere opposed to ali forms Of dis
examinations practiced against Ne
groes or other workers, and favor
Rholizhing all race, color, and religi-
GUS lines which tend to keep workers
separate, divided and apart.
In Communism hes the only hope
of the oppressed and exploited Negro
workers to obtain full and equal rights
with all other workers. Therefore the
chief task before the Communists Of
the United States, is to take the Iiber-
ating message of Communism to the
badly misled and deluded Negro work
ers who are composed IS per cent
Of farm and wage workers, and to OBJ
tain the support of a majority of the
Negro workers to the cause of Com
munism.

BY GORDON OWENS.
Workers Party Candidate for Con-
gress in Recent Elections, First


District, Chicago.
The Negro population Of the United
States suffer untold difficulties on ac-
count of the vicious caste system
known as the color line in vogue in
this country This vicious form of
discrimination practiced against Ne
groes originated with the introduction
Of chattel slavery in the United States,
when the masters of the indentured
white slaves replaced the indentured
slaves and wage workers with Negro
chattel slaves from Africa The un-
employed white workers, seeing their
jobs taken by the Negro chattel slaves,
began to stir the Negro slaves to re-
belIion against their masters. AS the
Negro slaves numerically 0utnumber-
ed their masters, and staged several
rebeIIiOns against them, the slave
owners realized that something must
be done to hold their slaves IN check
and to put a stop to the mixing and
fraternizing Of the white wage work
ers with the Negro chattel slaves, who
were termed 'sNiggers"
Set Negro Against White Workers.
Then was started for the first time
anti-NegrO propaganda, stating that
the Negro schRttel slaves were the in
feri0rs of the white wage workers and
unfit to associate with the white work
ers. Despite this anti-Negro propa-
ganda of the white master class, thou
sands upon thousands of muIatto chill
dren were being produced during this
period as a result of the mixing of
the southern white masters with their
Negro female slaves. Propaganda
