Y e " Censorship
Barring Everything
Special to The Daily worker)

NEW YORK, Feb. 1S.--It was too
raw for 'em, and the faculty Of
Princeton University have adopted
resolutions Of protest. It's a bill for
censoring history and this is the gist
of it: "No history or textbook or ref
erence book shall be adopted for use
or be used in any Of the public and
private schools located in the state
of New Jersey, which ignores, omits,
discounts or in any manner belittles,
falsifies, misrepresents, distorts,
doubts or denies the events leading
up to the American Declaration of
Independence or those conducted
with the War for Independence or
any other war in which the country
has been engaged, or which ignores,
omits, etc, etc, the deeds Of the
noted American patriots. 1.-THE
Princeton faculty protests that nearly
every one (the nearly is pleasantly
conservative) made mistakes and this
bill would prevent the use in New
Jerseys public and private schools of
statements made by Washington, JEFF
ferson, Lincoln--yes, and Roosevelt.
The opinions Of our Presidents Of
their contemporaries could not be
quoted"

NEW YORK, Feb. 18.-In the
short period of its existence the
Workers Party has proven itself to
be a real living revolutionary organic

of the workers, educating and or
ganizing the American working class
for the final overthrow of the capital

of a sane system Of
society.
Every working man who would not
be a lackey of the present social or

Workers Party and help free himself
and his class from wage slavery by
abolishing the wage system.
A special membership drive meet

SIOUX FALLS, S. D.. Feb Ia
The South Dakota Farmer-Labor
Leader, edited by Tom Ayres, Farm
er-Labor candidate for United States
Senator, in South Dakota, declares in
an editorial in its Feb. goth issue that
the farmers and workers are going
ahead in building for their own
Farmer-Labor Party, in spite Of the
call for the July 4th gathering at
Cleveland, issued by the conference
for progressive political action.
The editorial is headed, eve Cam
not Wait for YOU" and urges that
workers and farmers send their dele
gates to the st. Paul conference, on
May S0th. threads as follows:
We Cannot Wait Fer You.
1.-THE Conference for Progressive
Political Action which met at st. Louis
last week, decided to hold national
convention at Cleveland, Ohio, on
July 4th, next to decide whether it
would engage in new political party
enterprise.
"The inference, from the proceed
ings reported thru the press, is that if
some person satisfactory to the six
teen standard railroad brotherhoods
is nominated by one of the old par
ties, no new party candidate will be
chosen. New party activity will be
entertained only if a candidate on
one of the old party tickets is nom
mated who is particularly objection
able to the railroad brotherhoods.
"This may be all right for the
brotherhoods, but there are others in
terested in politics and these others
will have something to say about the
matter.
"Mr. McAdoo may be satisfactory
to the brotherhoods, Notwithstanding
his oil smear, but Mr.. McAdoo will
not be agreeable to the farmers and
other workers. The same may be
said Of Governor Smith of New York
"The voters in the United States
who have made the mark in politics
are the fellows who began the or
ganization of the Non-Partisan
League in the Northwestern states,
without consulting anybody but their
own people. These voters are re-
sponsible for Shipstead, johnson,
Frazier, Laid, Dill, Wheeler and
Howell. The foundation for the
election of these members of congress
was laid before the railroad brother
hoods, thought it necessary for them
to engage in politics. When they did
20 in they helped nightly, and it is
to be hoped that they will look at the
present situation in no narrow and
selfish light.
Whatever they may conclude to do,
however, the farmers and other work
ers are going to have farmer-labor
party. to which the brotherhoods will
be welcome when they get ready to
enter. On to st. Paul, May 30th"

Last Issue Worn Out, "
Says Correspondent

81 have seen the first issue of the
DAILY WORKER and have been
signing ever since to see the other

THE issue saw was not all there
because the other labor prisoners
here had worn it out almost. before
saw it. Is there no way we can
receive it regularly here?"
The DAILY WORKER business Of
flee has been receiving dozens of
such letters from almost every prison
in the country. One prisoner in
California writes that twenty men
will read the DAILY WORKER IL it
is sent there.
The business Office has finally
worked out a plan whereby political
and class war prisoners will receive
the DAILY WORKER regularly, il
the other readers Of the paper will
help. Here is the plan. If any
reader Of the DAILY WORKER will
send SO and the name of political
prisoner to whom he wishes to have
the paper sent we will send it for
one year. That is just dividing the

Because we want to have the
DAILY WORKER reach as many
prisoners as possible we are anxious
to send It to as many different pris-
ons as possible. If you don't know
any political prisoner to whom you
particularly want the paper sent,
send us SO and we will see that one
political prisoner is put on the mail
ing list and at least five others will
be given a chance to keep in touch
with what is happening outside.
We have complete list of all the
political and class war prisoners in
the country and we know they will
all be glad to see the DAILY
WORKER and know that there are
a few workers on the outside who
still remember them.

Especial to m. pallv work.r,


ALBANY, N. Y, Feb. 18.-The
housing bill which was passed by
the state legislature and is now
awaiting the signature Of the gov
ernor to make it law, leaves grave
doubts in the minds Of many assem-
blymen whether or not it applies to
New York City. The language Of
the bill, which continues the present
rent laws till June, 1926, is vague
and many persons believe that it will
be declared to be unconstitutional
when brought into court.
All efforts Of senators who wanted
to amend the bill so as to make it
apply specifically to New York city
were defeated when debate was cut
off and the bill put to a vote. The
bill is so jumbled that it would be
Impossible for court to hold that
part of the law was constitutional
and others were not.

In addition to not being clear
about its application to New York
city the bill may run counter to the
Home Rule Amendment by specify
ing It applied to certain cities only.
The bill is so mixed, bungled, and
jumbled that it will do nothing for
the poor tenants Of New York city
who are hardest hit by the housing
shortage, high rents and unsanitary
conditions.

Huertistd Uprising

FederaIs 8 Millions

MEXICO CITY, Feb. 1S.--lt has
cost the Mexican government approx
imately S8,000,O00 and some $500
men killed to put down the dc la
Huerta uprising.
While there is a wide divergence
of opinion as to the drain of the
Fascist counter-revolution on ma
tional resources, it generally is esti-
mated by experts that actual cash
expenditures have approximated IA
100000 pesos ($7,000,000) plus a
paper Indebtedness, contracted d.
rectly as consequence Of the coun-
ter-revolution, approximating $1,000

These figures do not take into
account the loss Of revenue result
ing from the fascist occupation Of
Vera Cruz and other ports and their
ensuing appropriation Of the funds
collected there.

method Owens used to get SOS
worth of subs for the DAILY

The rest Of the Detroit method
consists in organization. There has
been organized in Detroit a "Boost

business to get subs to the DAILY

ers will 60 on till March 18th and
then Detroit will give a banquet at

sub-getters. The branch of the party
which gets the largest number Of
subs during the drive will be pre-
scented with a silk banner with the
emblem of the party and the name
of the branch on 1t. Bill Dunno,
joint editor of the DAILY WORKER,
will be the main speaker at this din
ner and will present the banner to
the hard working branch.
Branches and individuals are both
considered members of the "Boost

cured and forwarded to the DAILY
WORKER thru the Detroit district
Office will count a certain number Of
points. Subscriptions from members
of the Workers Party will count one
point for every 81 and subs from
non-party members will count three
points for every 81
The individual who gets the great
est number of points will be given
$40 in gold at the March 10Th dinner.
the second highest will receive SIS in
gold. The five next highest will each
get a book Of their own selection.
The worker in each branch Of the
party who gets the largest number
of points will also be given a book
that they are privileged to select
themselves.
The second and third highest COM
rades in each branch will each be
given free ticket to the dinner.
William Reynolds now leads the

troit with 200 points. ]. Ferris is
second with 166 points and a lot Of
determination. Next in order ere

1t is easily seen that Edgar Owens
method Of getting subs for the
DAILY WORKER consists in getting
a bunch Of live sub boosters on the
Job and encouraging them.
For several weeks he has had the
business office Of the DAILY WORK
Err under the impression that he was
doing all the work himself.
without waiting to see if Chicago
accepts, our challenge on DAILY

De LA HUERTA'S
LAST HOPE LIES IN
ESTRADA'S ARM
Fascist Forces May Cut
Railroad Lines
By BERTRAM D. WOLFE
Staf Correspondent Of The Federated Press)

MEXICO CITY. Feb. 1s.-Exactly
two months after de la Huerta and
his associates raised the standard of
revolt in Vera Cruz, they abandoned
the city and fed by sea to the Yucca
tan peninsula.
They will make their last stand
where they can easily cross the bor-
der into Guatemala. But this by no
means indicates the end of the rebel
lion, for the strongest Of the two re-
voting contingents, that Of Enrique
Estrada on the western front has not
been beaten decisively.
However, the battle for Esperanza
station on the Mexico City-vera Cruz
line was very important. The rebels
were completely routed. They tried
to reform for the defense of Cordoba,
but after day and night Of fight
ing reiterated again. Cordoba is the
last mountainous place between the
capital and Vera Cruz, the last place
where numbers do not count for
much, the last possible ambuscade
ground.
Mountain Campaign.
This terminates the mountain cam
paign in which the superior num-
bers Of the federals were partially
compensated by the rebels superior
knowledge Of the difficult territory.
From Cordoba to the sea, ground is
comparatively level. Open country
fighting means victory for the larger
force. That is why the rebels aban-
doned Vera Cruz, several hundred
miles away, when the federals took
Cordoba.
The financial Importance of Vera
Cruz to the government is meal.
culable. The government owes its
employees here 49-odd days of pay,
but with the opening Of the country's
principal custom house and export
center all that will change.
The battle on Che other front be-
tween Oregon, who is personally
leading his forces, and Estrada is not
a battle-it is race. Estrada, with
his superior knowledge Of his own
territory, is racing northward at full
speed, trying to give the enemy the
slip and thus circle over to the rail
road lines that connect the capital
with Laredo and Ell Paso. To cut
these lines only for few days would
be to cut off supplies and injure the
prestige of the central government.
Oregon Commanders Jitneys.
The rebels are at no time far from
the great railroad lines. But the
federals are still nearer and thus far
have been able to keep between them
and the rails, without being able to
get close enough to force a battle.
In order to increase his speed in the
race, Obregon has Communicated vast
numbers of cannons (jitney busses)
in the capital and is transporting his
troops in them.
The executive committee of the
central labor council Of Colombia has
expressed sympathy with the Obre-
gon government in the present re-
bellion.

KATONAH, N. Y, Feb. 49,
workers education is, and must be,
class education, and its highest func-
ton is the emancipation of the class

leading editorial. in the current
Brookwood Review, published by
Brookwood labor college here. The
Review explains its attitude by say
ing, "The employers may rant against
talking in terms of classes. But let
the workers consider the conditions
Of their lives, let them consider their
submission to the whims Of those who
control their means of livelihood, let
them consider the great gulf fixed
between their own lives at the best
and the lives Of the parasites Of
modern society, and they can do
else but think in terms of
classes"

spread revival Of interest in workers
education is reported by Spencer Mil
