THE ROAD TO FREEDOM

the United States, and surely no one
who considers the facts of American
industry will dare challenge the state
ment that this situation does exist,
the natural question which follows is,
thru what program of action can the
workers win the struggle against
their exploiters?
We have today private ownership
of industry which so far as produc-
ton is concerned is becoming more
and more collective process of pro-
duction. This great industrial ma
chine exploits the workers and when
they rebel against exploitation brings
in the governmental power to main
tain their exploitation and adds op-
preston to exploitation.
What is the workers solution? Can
they say with LaFollette, let us de-
stroy this organization, let us break
the trusts and go back to small bust
ness?
No one but fool would make such
a proposal.
The great industrial organizations of
our time are the result of industrial
evolution. 1t is logical development
of production from individual small
The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1924-08-30

scale production to the great mass
productive industries of our time. A
LaFollette administration, even tho it
made a thousand laws, could not stop
this development.
The question the workers face is,
then what program can they follow
in order to solve the problem of the
exploitation and oppression of the
workers under this system? The an
swer to that question is indicated in
the industrial and economic situation
itself. We cannot destroy the great
industrial organizations and thus end
their power. We should not desire to
destroy them even if we could, be-
cause they represent a higher level
of industrial development. We already
have collective production thru thou
sands of workers cooperating in large
industries. All this points to the only
possible solution of the problem; that
is, that we take the industries out of
the hands of their private owners and
make the ownership collective as well
as the work Of production.
This is the central point OF the
program of the Workers Party. This
is the aim and goal OF the Commun-
list movement. All its efforts and
energies are directed toward abolish
ing the system OF private ownership
of the great Industries and replacing

it by a system of Communist collect
i've ownership of industry This is
the platform upon which the Workers
Party asks the support of the work
ers in the present election campaign.
The Role of the Government.
The role of the government in the
capitalist system of societys has al
ready been indicated. Thru the con-
troll of political power and use of that
power against the group which is
struggling to emancipate itself from
the exploitation of the capitalist sys-
TEN, the capitalists maintain the sys-
TEN which gives them great wealth.
The change in ownership of indus
try and the workers control of in
dustry can only be achieved if the
workers first take over the govern
mental power. The first great struggle
to achieve the Communist society is
the struggle for control of the gov
ernmental power.
Once this power is in the hands
of the exploited class, it has the
weapon thru which it can transform
the existing social system. The Work
ers Party therefore calls upon the
workers to join in the struggle to es-

tablish a Workers and Farmers Gov
eminent which will express the rule of
the exploited groups against the rule
of the capitalist class.
From all the above will be seen that
the platform on which the Workers
Party is asking the support of the
workers this year deals with the fun
damental problems of capitalist socie-
ty. That in place of being a utopian
scheme, as is so often charged by the
opponents Of Communism, all the
facts Of the existing system point to
the Communist program as Offering
the solution to the problem of capital
list society.
While the forces Of economic evolu-
ton thus are on the side of the work
ers, they will not win their victory
by fatalistic awaiting of the coming

velopment of the capitalist system it.

No privileged class in human So
ciety has ever given up its privileged
position without using all the weapons
at its command to maintain it's spe-
cial position. This will be true Of the
capitalist class as 1t has been true of
other economic groups in the past.
The workers can only expect to win
the struggle against capitalism If they
organize their power and carry on a

White Mule
BY KARL REEVE


Five miners squat in the grass, their
burning cigarettes making rejecting
sparks on the two-quart bottle filled
with colorless liquid which passes
from hand to hand.
Tony spits union made tobacco
juice, wipes the stray spray from his
furious mustache, passes his hand
over the mouth of the bottle, and
drinks
Charlie pauses from believing his
favorite wobbly song, and drinks. Va
lie and Joe drink in their turn. Every
one in the circle drinks long drafts
except Louis. Louis has tried to his
sorrow to mix copious quantities of
home brew and white mule and is
now sleeping it off, his head half
buried in the long dry, dew-less grass.
These men have not worked for
seven months. Louis is glad to sleep.
He has had bad luck since the war.
Returning from the war of Wilsonian
Democracy with one eye gone, deaf
in one ear and his right cheek bone
twisted up directly under his fore
head, Louis is not pretty sight. AL
tho he was cited for bravery, and was
awarded three wound stripes, Louis
was heard to complain by the Old
Ben coal mine boss and has been put
on the invisible blacklist.
AS the ''moon" takes effect, the
lrCfxr 4al Of fba r,,iparc driffo
over the hedge of long grass in whose
shadows they recline and is waited
over the coal-dust road. They squat
close to earth, hoping for little re-
lief from the heat of the pitiless sun
their only heritage these days from
the nonotonous inactivity of the day.
Charles voice sounds cheerfully
hardy as he bowls, to a tune never
heard before, and never to be re-
peated, the rebel version of, They're
Wild Over Me-" But his mind is at
the far edge of town, in spite of his
smile. Even the white mule cannot
erase from his mind his black
haired, heavy wife whom he does not
love very much, and his three child
rem who have not had much to eat
that day. His conscience pricks him
about remaining away from his wife
so late into the night. Like dull UNI
ceasing pain the words, What can
do? There is nothing to do" 1.-THE
kids have got to eat" weigh down his
mind.
Louis groans in his sleep, oppressed
by the heat-and by dreams Of the
battle fields of France. Tony is the
biggest of the husky men. He has the
kindly Slav face which is lent dis
tinction BY the long brown mustache.
Tony's dirty overalls cannot hide his
superior poise. He is the one who
always, at the end Of the party, quiet
ly goes in and cooks the bacon and
eggs and the strong black coffee which
is the farewell grace.
Tony has worked under ground for
many years. He has a wife in Po-
land. Twice he has sent her money
to come over to him, but each time
she has betrayed him. He has heard
recently that his wife has two more

Take A Chance!

A BROOKLYN doctor says: "if you A expect to raise a family do not
 pick for your wife cigarette smoking flapper."
 Well-? The flapper has more ex- perience, more knowledge of what is go- ing on in the world than her cOy-great- grandmother had at her age. The flap per doesn't resort to a fluttering fan when talking to a man and shyly duck her head behind it, all the time leading him on. Nor does she don a coquettish mask, too bashful to converse with her features uncovered. Neither does she swoon in the face of trying situations.
 The flapper looks the world openly and honestly in the eyes. There is no pretense about her. Even her hair is bobbed to show it is not false. If she wants to smoke she does it and she doesn't do it behind closed doors. If her beau doesn't like it a compromise may be affected, but she has learned to stick up for her rights and not be domi- mated.
 Not so many years ago it was con sidered not the thing for lady to work. It was only when she was forced to do so that she engaged in
  ties. And then her friends all pitied her. She had never been brought up to work. There were only few avenues of work open to her. She had to get along as best she could and sometimes that best was very bad. She had been told-by men-that the business world was no place for her. It was full of snares and pitfalls and heaven forbid that she should ever have to enter it! She was much safer sitting cOntentedly and obediently by the fireside engaged in gossip and small talk.
 But enter the flapper. With her pep and energy and all the curiosity of youth, she took chance on this forbidden territory. She opened the doors to the business world and left them open. She showed it was not such a horrible place after all. When older women saw youngsters making themselves economically independent they realized they had been subservient for too long time. They had been content to be merely wives and mothers and to receive what money those men upon whom they were dependent saw fit to give them. They took up va- riOus lines of work.
 We are losing our dependence and men don't like it. They don't want us to encroach on their private grounds, even to the smoking of cigarettes. They pick on the flapper because they know Youths eyes are keener and have shown the way to older women.
 Here's to the Flapper! Long may she flap!

"You can begin with as simple thing as the matter of health. If you won't teach your child to deny herself anything that appeals to her at the mo- ment, life will. It will give her dys- pepsia if she eats too much. It will turn her into a neurotic, nerve-wreck- ed woman if she does not control her tempeN It may even kill her if, for the sake of vanity, she goes out in thin satin slippers and gossamer stockings in sleet and snow.
 Tn short while your little girl will be a big girl, going to school with other girls, and her happiness will de- pend upon her popularity. If she has been encouraged in selfishness, and the belief that her will was law; if she takes the best of things for herself, and is disregardful of the feelings of others, she will be obstracized. She will have no friends. She will be left out of all the good times. That is the way that life will teach her unselfishness, and that we have to give and take in the world.
