all the Farmer-Labor forces of the
United States for a Farmer-Labol
Party campaign. The convention
made tentative nominations and
adopted a tentative platform and or.
ganization plan. 1t was considered
possible that the Farmer-Labor ele.
ments which still adhered to the Con-
ference for Progressive Political Ac.
ton would break away from that con-
ference when it again betrayed their
hopes for a Farmer-Labor Party and
that an alliance with these forces
would create the basis for the Farmer.
Labor Party campaign in this election
struggle.
The group in the c. P. P. A. which
is for Farmer-Labor Party did not
have sufficient courage to take a stand
for the principle of class Farmer-La-
Dor action in the United States.
Without protest it accepted the LaFol-
lette dictatorship and became the tail
to the LaFollette petty bourgeois pro-
gressive movement. The Conference
for Progressive Political Action has
become petty bourgeois progressive
United Front extending from LaFol-
lette to Debs.
1t is the supreme duty of our party
to raise against this petty bourgeois
progressive alliance which is mislead-
ing the workers, the slogans of revolu-
tionary class action. LaFollette is a
menace to the labor movement. 1t is
placing the workers under the leader
ship of the petty bourgeois class with
a program in direct contradiction to
the interests of the workers and liqui-
dating their class movement. If the
Farmer-Labor Party as formed at ST.
Paul represented real United Front,
unifying a mass movement Of farmers
and workers which would stand firm
and carry on the fight against LaFol-
letteism and the petty bourgeois pro-
gressive alliance, unquestionably the
fight against LaFolletteism should be
made thru the Farmer-Labor Party.
This is not the situation. Part Of the
participating in the
June II convention are themselves in

the nomination of presidential electors
in every state in which we can get on
the ballot.
2. The National Executive Commit
tee of the Farmer-Labor Party formed
at st. Paul has Endorsed the candi-
dates of the Workers Party in this
campaign and called upon all Farmer
Labor groups who stand for working
class action to support these candi-
dates. Our Party shall urge all local
and state Farmer-Labor Party organ
izations to indorse the Workers Party
candidates, maintaining their organ
ization intact and using them to sup
port the Workers Party campaign dur
ing the election struggle, thus also
preparing the ground for continuance
Of the fight for the Farmer-Labor
Party after the election campaign.
2. (a) A campaign fund Of $50. 1000
shall be raised thru circulation of sub
scription lists and Gonations from
sympathetic organizations.
3. Every unit of the Workers Party
must at once form election campaign
committees for the purpose of organ
izing and carrying on the work in sup
port of the campaign of the party.
4. The National Office will at once
place in the field corps of speakers
who will be routed to every part Of
the country in a speaking campaign
in support of our candidates and pro-
gram.
5. The National Organization will
issue a series Of campaign leaflets
which must be distributed by the par
ty organization in millions of copies.
6. The Party National Organization
will print during the campaign a Sc
ries of campaign pamphlets dealing
with the issues of the campaign and
with the fundamentals of the Com
munist movement for the purpose of
education of the workers to support
our movement.
Z. Party papers in all languages
must give special attention to the cleo
ton campaign supporting the party
campaign in every way possible.
8. We must make consistent use of
the election campaign for the upbuild-
ing Of our party. No meetings must
pass without inviting the workers
present to join our party. No piece of
literature can be issued without con-
tanning a similar appeal.

TRADE UNION AND INDUSTRIAL WORK.

THE effectiveness of the Communist
l movement everywhere depends di.
rectly upon the success it has in sink
ing its roots into the industrial organ
izations of the working class. This
principle is so generally recognized
that the Communist International has
reiterated time and again the supreme
necessity for carrying on intensive
and persistent work among the trade
unions in all countries. The Workers
Party, following the general policy,
has also repeatedly insisted upon the
need for well-organized effort among
the industrial workers. But neverthe-
less our party has not yet come to
realize the great Importance of it. The
trade union and industrial work is still
in its infancy. Many units of the or
ganization ignore it altogether. They
seem to look upon the Trade Union
Educational League as either some
foreign organization or one capable of
running along entirely upon its own
resources. The consequence of this
glaring neglect Of trade union work is
that the party is failing to draw sus-
tenance from the richest field of op-
portunity lying before it. All its ac-
tivities suffer accordingly. A firm grip
in~the industries is the first consider
alton for the success of our whole
movement.
The C. E. C. is determined that the
party shall take the industrial work
much more seriously than in the past.
For this purpose all the party units
will be required to make it definite
and constant feature of their activities.
The present state of neglect must
come to an end at once. We must aim
to a condition where in every indus
trial center there is a large and
fourishing section of the Trade Edu-
cational League, and where every part
of our party is functioning vigorously
industrially. The real health and
growth of our party depends upon the
of this condition. AS
the most vital present necessities of
the industrial work, the c. e. c. calls
The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1924-07-19

swept along in the wake of the LaFol-
lette petty bourgeois progressive
movement.
Our party therefore faces the ques-
ton whether it shall participate in a
Farmer-Labor Party campaign in
which the Workers Party will have to
bear the brunt of the work and will
have to largely conduct the campaign
thru its organization, or whether ii
shall conduct a Communistic cam.
paign against LaFolletteism in the
name of the Workers Party. A cam
paign in the name of the Farmer-La.
Dor 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 po-
litical campaign for the direct up.
building of the party, if the campaign
were conducted under the name of the
Farmer-Labor Party. The United
Front campaign is only Of value to
our party if it unites 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 such United Front
campaign. The Central Executive
Committee of the party therefore has
unanimously decided that the Workers
Party shall enter the campaign in it's
own name, nominate Communist can
didates and conduct a Communist
campaign.
The alignment in the elections
will be; the capitalist republican and
democratic parties, the LaFollette
petty bourgeois progressive alliance,
and the Workers Party, raising the
slogan of working class action on a
Communist program against the cap
italists and against the petty bourA
geois misleaders of the workers. This
situation should nerve every member
of our party for the most aggressive
and militant struggle our party has
ever made.
Our program and policy during the
campaign will be the following:
l. 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 can
didates on the ballot, this to include

OUR ELECTION CAMPAIGN
AND THE FARlNER-LABOR PARTY

IN JUNE, 1922, our party declared,
| in a manifesto dealing with the ap-
plication of the United Front policy in
the United States, that the problem
of the United Front politically was the
problem of the formation of Labor
Party.
Since that time the party has car
ried on consistent United Front cam
paign with the end in view of uniting
those workers and farmers who were
ready to break with the capitalist par
ties in a mass Farmer-Labor Party
with which the Workers Party would
be affiliated. This campaign has been
the major political campaign of our
party.
We have during this campaign ad-
vanced the cause of independent
working class action and made the
Farmer-Labor Party an issue in the
American labor movement. We can
also say without danger of the state
ment being challenged, that our party
had made the greatest gains for itself
thru this campaign for the Labor Par
ty. 1t is thru this Farmer-Labor
Party campaign that our party has
established itself as a political force
in the United States. 1t is thru this
campaign that it has established it's
prestige and its leadership among the
masses Of workers and farmers.
Nothing has contributed so much to
develop our party from a sectarian
group to recognized political force
in the life of the labor movement of
this country than our maneuvers in
relation to the Farmer-Labor Party.
The Central Executive Committee
declares that the campaign for
Farmer-Labor Party was correct es-
timation Of the situation in the United
States. 1t declares further that the
campaign for the Farmer-Labor Party
must be continued and will be a ma
jor campaign of the party in the fu-
ture.
We must, however, consider funda-
mentally the situation which our par
ty faces in the present election cam
paign. The June II Farmer-Labor
Party was not successful in mobilizing

upon the party to put into effect the
following general measures:
1. Build the League. In every indus
trial center where the party has local
branches there must be formed local
groups of the Trade Union Education.
al League. In the organized districts
the district organizers shall consider
it part of their most urgent tasks to
see to it that in every industrial city
or town within their districts there is
an active section of the league. They
will be held responsible for the rigid
fulfillment of this provision. The d. E.
C.s, G. G. C.s and local branches shall
give fullest cooperation in this mat
ter.
2. Industrial Registration. A first
necessity for successful work among
the trade unionists and unorganized
masses in the industries is a complete
industrial registration of all party
members. Such a registration will be
carried out by the G. e. c. in the near
future. All party units, including Fed
erations, d. e. C.'s. C. c. C.'s, and
local branches, are instructed to make
this a special order of busirless. The
district organizers are especially in
structed to see to it that the industrial
registration is success in their res
pective districts.
3. Industrial Organizers. In order
to carry out the industrial work sue
cessfully, it is necessary that the
various units of the party commission
industrial organizers and industrial
committees to have charge Of the
work. The local branches shall each
appoint an industrial organizer. The
ID. q. C.'s shall specialize themselves
accordingly and shall devote direct at
tention to the industrial work. The
of the industrial machinery
Of the party shall be to bring the party
membership into the league and into
the industrial work generally, in ac-
cordance with the policies of the
party.
4. Union and League Membership.

THE TWENTIETH AMENDMENT

There can be little doubt that the Twentieth
Amendment to the United States Constitution will be
the child labor amendment submitted to the states
for ratification. Though there is vigorous opposition
in states, which still consider childrens labor
profitable essential there is such sentiment against
it in the country whole that approval by three
fourths of the states is only matter of time.
Such action is inevitable with the progress of mod
society 1t natural, the industrial age de-
veloped, that children should contribute their mite
toward the general labor where there work for
many hands and it hard to feed many mouths.
But the evils resulting from the industrial employment
of children, and their agricultural employment
have become steadily apparent. Also the need of
their help has grown less, with the improvement of
labor-saving machinery.
Sef-interest and humanity both argue for the pro-
longation of the chd's period of childhood, for good
education during the period when the mind learns most
readily for the healthfu play that essential to prop
er development and for the happiness and freedom
that every child's right 1t is inconcevabe that
the richest and most Enlightened nation in the world
should deny these things to it's boys and girls

GERMAN DISARMAMENT FIRST

On the eve of entering upon the Dawes program
for German reparation, something else is slipped in
ahead of it. demand is made by the four major al
lies, England France, Italy and Belgium, that Ger
try has lived up to its disarmament obligations. If
the request is refused, the Allies say they will have
assume military control of Germany.
The fact that the present British government con-
sidered very generous to Germany, it joining in this
demand suggests that there is good ground for it. And
IT the Germans desire to benefit by the Dawes plan and
are at all honest in their professed desire have the
reparation tange Strengthened out and begin pay
ment they will not object and invite further trouble
!. Ihe Dawes plan provides that France shall leave
the Ruhr and let German industry operate without
hindrance. That seems necessary If the Germans are
to revive economically and make payment possible.
But naturally it is not safe for the French, the
Allies in general to give Germany free hand unless
Germany is really disarmed and intends to remain so.

WHY HAVE FOREST FIRES?

This is the beginning of the season when repre-
sentatves of the United States Forest Service increase
their efforts to inst caution in the heart of the
camper in order to prevent forest fires The organ
izaton recently issued list of "donts," mostly quite
familiar, but always needing repetition Perhaps re-
stating them in a positive form is worth while.
Always watch your camp fire Build your fire
apart from underbrush dry leaves and slash See that

ping it. Step and grind into the earth the ashes
from your pipe, cigar cgaret Dispose Of inflam-
mable articles by some suitable method other than
throwing them from your automobile. Use your COM
out for the person who does things liable to
forest fire and report all such persons promptly as
you would any criminal.
There two outstanding ideas in the list. First,
the forest belong to all the citizens and destructive
forest fires loss to all citizens indirectly if not
directly The other is the obvious truth that the use
of common all the other rules for forest
fire prevention.
The camping season is on but can't the season of
preventable forest fires be postponed indefinitely?
