OUR PROGRAM

Our program and policy during the cam
paign will be the following:
1. To run candidates nationally, in the
states, and locally, under the name of the
Workers Party, wherever it is possible for
us to put these candidates on the ballot, this
to include the nomination of presidential
electors in every state in which we can get
on the ballot.
2. The National Executive Committee of
the Farmer-Labor Party formed at ST. Paul
has endorsed Intermediates of the Workers
Party in this campaign and called upon all
Farmer-Labor groups who stand for working
class action to support these candidates.
Our party shall urge all local and state
Farmer-Labor Party organizations to en-
dorse the Workers Party candidates, main
tanning their organization intact and using
them to support the Workers Party cam
paign during the election struggle, thus also
preparing the ground for continuance of the
fight for the Farmer-Labor Party after the
election campaign.
pa. A campaign fund of $4,000 shall be
raised thru circulation of subscription lists
and donations from sympathetic organizza-
tons.
3. Every unit of the Workers Party must
at once form election campaign committees
for the purpose of organizing and carrying
on the work in support of the campaign of
the party.
a. The National Office will at once place
in the field corps of speakers who will be
routed to every part of the country in
speaking campaign in support of our candi-
dates and program.
S. The National Organization will issue a
series of campaign leaflets which must be
distributed by the party organization in mill
lions of copies.
6. The Party National Organization will
print during the campaign series of cam
paign pamphlets dealing with the issues of
the campaign and with the fundamentals of
the Communist movement for the purpose
of education of the workers to support our
movement.
7. Party papers in all languages must give
special attention to the election campaign
supporting the party campaign in every way
possible.
We must make consistent use Of the cleo
ton campaign for the upbuiding of our
party. No meetings must pass without invt-
ing the workers present to join our party.
No piece of literature can be issued without
containing similar appeal.

LADIES GARMENT
CHIEFS BETRAY
$4,000 STRIKERS
Bosses Get Everything,
Workers Nothing
Especial to the DAILY woRkER)

Especial to the DAILY WoRKER)
NEW YORK, July 1o.-Lead-
ers of the International Ladies
Garment Workers Union offered
further concessions to employ
ers in secret conferences held in
the last two days. The conces-
sions, which further modify the
Smith agreement in favor of the
bosses, give the jobbers the right
to purchase garments outside of
the metropolitan districts with
out the sanitary label, thus null
Iifying a minor advantage
gained by the union.
The jobbers organizations
have accepted the modified
terms and it is expected that the
reorganization strike of $4,000
cloakmakers will be quickly
terminated. The stoppage of
work was declared pending the
ratification of a contract based
on the Smith award.
Eighteen thousand other cloakmak-
ers are on strike against those indie
pendent manufacturers which had not
accepted the commissions finding as
yet. Since the organized employers
find the Smith terms satisfactory, with
the later notifications, the lesser
manufacturers are not expected to de-
lay signing much longer.
Surrender Denounced.
The officials surrender is denounced
by left wingers as a gross betrayal of
the demands expressed thru interna-
tional conventions. The 40-hour week
was abandoned, the number of con-
tractors is not limited and tho manu-
facturers are ordered to use mini
mum of IA machines, as a guarantee
against the tiny shops which menace
union control there is no machinery
to enforce this demand. Investiga-
tion of jobbers' books to check up on
the bosses actions is not provided for.
The clause accepted gives the right to
refuse such investigation should it in
terfere with business secrets.
sisman Missed.
President Morris Sigman was
Kissed when he spoke in defense of
the agreement and there was dem
onstration for the Freiheit when he as
sailed the Communist papers editorial
attacks on the agreement. The strik-
ers see no real relief in the leaders

paign thru its organization, or whether it
shall conduct a Communist campaign
against LaFoIetteism in the name of the
Workers Party. A campaign in the name of
the Farmer-Labor Party would, in the face
of the Cleveland betrayal, unite only rela-
lively small part of the Farmer-Labor forces
with the Workers Party. On the other hand,
our party would be greatly hampered in its
agitation and propaganda and could not use
the political campaign for the direct upbuild-
ing of the party, if the campaign were con-
Quoted under the name of the Farmer-Labor
Party. The United Front campaign is only
of value to our party if itJunites with us large
groups of workers for common action. The
degree to which this would be true in the
Farmer-Labor campaign is not sufficient for
United Front campaign. The Central Ex-
ecutive Committee of the party, therefore,
has unanimously decided that the Workers
Party shall enter the campaign in its own
name, nominate Communist candidates and
conduct a Communist campaign.
The alignment in the election will be the
capitalist republican and democratic parties,
the LaFoIIette petty bourgeois progressive
alliance, and the Workers Party raising the
slogan of working class action on Com
munist program against the capitalist and
against the petty bourgeois misIeaders of the
workers. This situation should nerve every
member of our party for the most aggressive
and militant struggle our party has ever
made.

Can you picture the tens of
thousands of children in bright

young Communists in smart
black leather suits with red

Then maybe you can begin to see
the thrilling throng which filled the
Houdinka field for the commemora-

Russian Federal Union. For the first
time in 80 years this field, used now
for aviation, was the scene OF a great

The public school teacher IA lust
as much of an artist as the famous

gregational church. brought out elo-
quently In speaking, Thursday even
ing before the harrington Parent
Teachers Association. He urged
that the parent stand behind the

Cooperation. In times of trouble
and misunderstanding, he recon-
mends a thorough understanding be-
tween parent and teacher. because
they are working for a common
good. that of the pupil.

was very well attended, about 80
being present and the words of Rev.
Mr.. McWhorter were listened to at
tentively. His talk was very much
appreciated and enjoyed.
