POISONING The
YOUTHFUL Mind
AGAINST LABOR
GOmPerS in Alliance
Uith the FGscists
BY KARL REEVE.

The American Federation Of
Labor is cooperating with the
American Legion and the Ma
tional Security League in at
tempting to make labor haters
and red-baiters out of the
school children of America, it
was learned at Sundays meet
ling of the Chicago Federation
of Labor.
/ A communication was re-
.|ceived from Mathew Vol, as
member of the educational
committee of the A. F. of L.,
asking the Chicago Federation
.of Labor to cooperate to make
American Educational Week a
success. 1T is fitting that we CO.
operate to make Education
Week a success, says Mathew
/ VOL, crown prince to Gompers,
in his letter.
The American Federation Of Labor
officials have thus formed an alliance
with the capitalists by trying to get
rLaFollette elected on the political
field, and are aiding the National Sc
curity league and the American Lee
] gion to permeate the educational with
anti-labor propaganda "The employ
er who keeps his men at work con-
tentedly today is Americas most prac-
teal patriot" says the National Sc
curity league propaganda, to be distri-
buted by the thousands to children
during the week that the A. F. of L.
has Endorsed and is going to aid.
Don't waste men, it is important that
efficiency be maintained"

The American Education Week"
that Vol asks the Chicago Federation
of Labor to aid, is new drive against
the Communists and militant organ
lied labor generally. The department
of the interior has issued a program,
with which the American Legion, the
National Security league, the National
Educational association and the Amer
lean Federation of Labor officials will
cooperate in putting into effect. Pres
ident Coolidge officially announced
Education Week" to be held from
Nov. II to 90.
The program is proof that the A.
F. of L. Official family is supporting
a purely anti-Iabor program. "Revo-
lutionists, Communists, and extreme
pacifsts are menace to the consti-
tutional guarantees" says the program
which suggests subjects for lectures
by teachers to the school children.

ton, poverty, starvation, disease, an
archy and dictatorship" America
frst--the red flag-danger.
Productive Institutions.
"The school as productive institu-
ton" is another subject which the
bankers and open shoppers, assisted
by the A. F. of L. officials. advise
teachers to lecture on. Religion, mo-
rality and education are necessary to
good government" says the program.
If the Chicago Federation of Labor
co-operates with this program, it is
going to collaborate with the capital
list government to stamp out revolu-
tionary radicalism." Also, to devote
the final day, Sunday. to God and
country" 1t is a beautiful program
for class collaboration, fascism and
white guardism.
Against Labor.
Now that the election is over, and
lGompers has taken all he could get
from the capitalist bankers backing
LaFolIette, Gompers and his clique
Of officials are indorsing a movement
smanating from Calvin Coolidge and
lharles G. Dawes, with a program
made up by Coolidge's department Of
Interior, and tons of literature against
abor being distributed to the chill
jren by the National Security league.
What is an American? is the query
fired at the immature minds of the
lschool children by the literature which
the open shoppers are going to cir
culate in cooperation with the A. f.
of L. officials. "One who says If
fail or fall behind my fellows. the
fault and discredit will be mine, no
others" Il harbor no class resent
ment."

The propaganda to be spread broad
cast by the Coolidge men urges main

property" Even democracy" is con-
sidered too radical by the hackers Of
Education week" Warfare, as

ment and every effort. which tends in
any degree, TO convert our representa-
tive form Of government into democ-
racy," is the battle cry OF the National
Security league.
But the Gompers' machine, Coolidge
and the American Legion have good
company in their fight to make open
shoppers out OF the school children.
