HOW WE START TO ORG ANIZE
A CHILDREN'S GROUP
ARTICLE No. 3.

Nothing in the world is easier than
to attract children. Youths, boys and
girls of the Young Workers League,
go in group to the place where chill
dren are-on the streets in the eve
nings, in parks, public Fairgrounds,
or at some outdoor celebration. They
watch the children at play and grad
ually and tactfully join in their
games, perhaps teaching them a new
circle game which all can join. Other
children are attracted and approach
to play the new game. After a time
when the children are a little tired
"Shall we learn a new song?" At
first the little ones may be suspicious,
then they will be shy, but eventually
they will all join in the "Interna-
tional' or some other revolutionary
song.
Or else-"Will you play with us
again? We poor children have to do
without so many things the rich
children have--it is so nice when we
can all play together" Meanwhile
we distribute our papers, the "Young
Comrade," inform them that this is
the children's paper and that there
are children's meetings. "Would you
like to Gomez"
Or else we go among the working
class parents. SIN this trade union

other room or park or garden we

she had not been efficient when most

20 PER CENT CUT
NON-UNION MINES
is new 7 THREAT
War to the Knife to
Crush Union

A 20 per cent cut in the wages Of
non-union miners in the Eastern Ken
lucky fields was announced today and
brings into holder relief the danger
of neutrality-suspicious. and unem-
ployment in the unionized fields of
Indiana, Ohio and Illinois. More than
10000 union miners are now jobless
in Indiana and Illinois alone; in Il
linois IS mines were permanently
closed vast year.
Spokesman of the United Mine
Workers look upon the cut as notice
served upon the union by the coal OPP
orators association that strike will
be forced on the expiration of exist
ing contracts the end of March and
believe that the reduction was timed
to coincide with the coming conven-
ton of the United Mine Workers of
America, which opens in Indianapolis
next Tuesday. With the expectation
that it would have strong influence
upon the deliberations of the 1900
delegates who will attend.
The ever keener competition be-
tween non-union and union mined
coal, the extension of the non-union
fields, their securing of markets nor
mally supplied by unionised mines,
the evidence of the war of attrition
launched against the union by the
coal operators association, will in the
opinion Of both officials and rank and
file members of the United Mine
Workers, be the most important ques-
ton dealt with, barring the policy
for April 1, by the indianapolis con-
vention.

While it may be that some of the
capitalist daily papers are adding
more subscribers to their roll than is
THE DAILY WORKER, there is no

EXHAUST SOUVENIR EDITION

Because of the tremendous num-
Der of new subscriptions, THE
DAILY WORKER mailing depart
ment has up until now been unable
to enter all the new names as
promptly as desired. AS a result
some of the new subscribers have
not received their paper on time.
This condition has now been
remedied and the business Office
claims that it can now absorb all the
punishment in the way of subscrip-
tions that the live wires of the coun-
try send in.
In answer to the many requests
for the first souvenir issue of THE

their parents for permission to at
tend and they bring their friends
and playmates. Children are natur-
ally excellent agitators.
Of course there are cases where
the parents refuse to permit the
children to come. The mass of the
adult working class is extremely
petty bourgeois in its home life.
These parents are made the subjects
of especial attention of the Junior
Leaders. Special parents evenings
and conferences are organized or
public celebrations, whatever will
create a closer bond between the
adults and the children. Incidental
ly thru this means many a working
class father Oh mother, previously
antagonistic or Indifferent, is won
to our cause. Their are instances
where the adults use coercive mea-
sures. If the child is determined and
energetic it opposes the will of re-
dictionary or backward parents and
attends the meetings despite the
prohibition of the parents. More
sensitive children endure great in
ternal conflicts and with these, espe-
cially, great understanding and pa
thence is used. The active measures
which are used by our leaders de-
ponds upon whether the parents are
merely backward workers or con-
scious reactionaries and social pa
triots.

AT MASS MEETING
Campaign for German
Relief Gaining

Seventy delegates representing
labor unions and other workers
organizations attended a conference
called by the Friends of Soviet Rus
STA and Workers Germany in the
Workers Lyceum, on Thursday even
ing and voted to support the mass
meeting which will be held in the
Ashland Auditorium on January 9th
for the recognition of Soviet Russia
and aid to Workers Germany.
Intense enthusiasm was created at
the conference when letter was read
from the Friends of Soviet Russia
stating that no money would be sent
to Germany but that the money
would he used here to purchase food
for shipment over there. This re-
moves all doubts created in the
minds Of the workers that the funds
contributed to German relief would
be used for propaganda or to support
any particular group in that coun-
try.
In contrast to this action is the
policy of the Gompers relief commit
tee in sending funds to preserve the
power of the counter revolutionary
trade union bureaucracy and the
bankers relief which goes to the Fas-
cisti.
Among the unions represented
were the following:
Local 637, Brotherhood of Painters
and Paperhangers; Carpenters Local

ishers Local 6; Machinists Local $50;
Woodcarvers Chicago Branch and
Machinists Local 1877.

Friends of Soviet Russia and Work
ers' Germany is arranging a house

Thousands of workers are expected to
participate in this drive.
Each succeeding mail brings tales
of misery from Germany not ever
surpassed during the dark days OF
the Russian famine.
The January 9th meeting prom.
ises to be the largest in the history
of workingclass meetings in Chicago
Among the speakers already secured
are Robert Morse Lovett, Max Slim

would have hundreds of people public

who should be in school to work.
