THIRD LESSON IN CAPITAL


, 3. The elements of use-values are
material substance, and human labor
power expended in changing its form.
4. The establishment of an equation
between two comodities does not re.
late to their use-values, which, being
relatively different, cannot be measur-
ed one against another
5. 1t is not possible to establish an
equation between things of different
qualities, as regards these qualities
which are different; but if these
things also contain common qualities,
an equation can be established in re-
gard to the latter
6. The common element in the equa-
ton "one coat equals yards of
linen" is that one coat contains the
same amount of abstract human labor
power as is contained in 20 yards of
linen.
z. The placing of coat and linen in
the exchange-relationship proves that
there is a common element in the
labor of tailor and weaver, behind
their differences as particular kinds
of labor, otherwise the equation could
not be established. This gives us the
, conception of homogeneous human la
Dor power, which is the same in all
labor.
8. An increase in the productive
ness of labor increases the amount of
commodities, which is material wealth,
but because the amount of labor
power embodied in the larger amount
of commodities is the same, therefore
the total values have remained the
same.
g. The two poles of the expression
of value are the relative and the
equivalent.
TO- The relative form of value gives
expression to the value of the com
modify placed in this relation. Value
can come to expression and find meas
urement only by assuming the relative
form. The relative value of a COM
modify rises and falls directly as it's
value, the value of the equivalent be-
ing supposed constant. The value Of
the commodity remaining constant,
its relative value rises and falls in
versely as the value of its equivalent.
If the value of the commodity and its
equivalent rises and falls equally and
simultaneously, the relative value re-
mains the same.-Earl r. Browder,
Instructor.

WORKING YOUTH CONFERENCES

political struggle of the working
class. With this will come an under
standing of the necessity of having
such militant class organizations like
the Workers Party and Young Work
ers League.
n Organizational forms. Besides the
practical demands there must be
a discussion and formulation of GER
tain organizational forms in order to
gain expression for the young work
ers ii. e. advocating Assistant Youth
Shop Chairman and Youth Represent
atiVes on the shop committees and
for the unionization of the young
workers.)
How to Proceed.
These conferences must be sponsor
ed by all those interested in advanc-
ing the interests of the young work
ers in industry and in politics. The
Y. w. L. must take its definite part in
this work. In those cities and dis
tricts selected, arrangement commit
tees, who will carry on a deep rooted
propaganda and agitation for the po-
polarization of such conferences must
be set up. !.
All Y. w. L. members and left wing
young workers generally, must con-
duct a persistent agitation in the
shop eliminating in the holding of
shop meetings of all young workers,
where the agenda of the conference,
will be discussed and delegates elect
ed to the conference.
Discussion at Conferences.
The discussion at the conferences
must hinge around the reports of the
Foung workers on the conditions in
their shops and the practical demands
to be adopted Further discussion
must take place on the definite organ
national forms which the demands
must take. Other important points
which the youth must give attention
to are the unionization Of the young
workers. world trade. union. unity,
class struggles VS.. class collaboration
and the role of the Y w. L.
Working class youth conferences
have proven great successes in all
countries (e &. recent French confer
ence). Our American league must
take an aggressive step forward in
helping to organize working class
youth conferences in this country.

Public Speaking and
Philosophy Courses
Start in N. Y. Friday


NEW YORK, Dec. 1.-The first reg
ular session of the Public Speaking
class at the New York Workers School
will be held on Friday at 8 p. m. with
Carl Brodsky as instructor. A prelim-
mary session held last Friday night
revealed that both experienced speak
ers and beginners, who think they can
develop into effective speakers, have
registered for the course Previous
speaking experience is not required.
Those who are so experienced will,
nevertheless, get many valuable ideas
on the preparation and delivery of
speeches from the coursei The object
of the class is to train a battery of
effective speakers that ran defend the
principles of Communism in the unions
and other workers organizations and
among the masses. MT
The course in Matefialistic Philos-
ophy, instructor, d. Kvitko, also held
a preliminary session last Friday
night. It's first regular session will
occur next Friday. The hour has been
changed to meet better the needs of
the students and will be given from
$40 p. m. until further notice. The
first four lessons will take up the
need of true philosophy to under
stand all phenomena OF life. The way
of testing the truth What is evolu-
ton? On what is the MARKHAM phil
osophy based? Why are contemporary
bourgeois philosophers pessimistic
about the future Of our civilization,
and why are they looking backward
to antiquity, to the 18th and 18th cen
turtles? The ghost of Communism.

History of American
Working Class Taught
at N. Y. Workers School
Rv ANTON sIMRA

The tabor" histories that we have
at the present time are written either
by college professors or labor leaders
who have as their main object not to
present the facts in their true light
and to draw correct conclusions from
them, but to be-cloud these facts and
draw such conclusions which would
hide the real character Of the class
struggle. Therefore, we must study
the history of the working class our
selves, gather the facts from every
source possible, coordinate them and
interpret them from the Marxist
standpoint-the only real and scien-
tific standpoint.
The New York Workers School has
arranged to give such a course on
Monday nights. 1t is proposed that
the course on the History Of the
American Working Glass should last
for three months and be divided into
twelve lessons, starting with the CO.
lonial period, taking up the role of
the workers in the revolutionary war,
the struggles Of the workers from the
beginning Of the 10Th century up to
the civil war, analyzing the develop
ment of slavery and the civil war, the
great struggles of the workers in
1877, the development and character
of the Knights of Labor, the birth of
the American Federation of Labor,
and so on until we come to the recent
labor organizations and the struggles
of the workers. This course will deal
not only with the economical organ
izations Of the workers but also with
the political, winding up with the de-
velopment of the left wing move
ment led by the Workers (Commun-
ist) Party.

A "SIMPLE" QUEEN DIES

entertained, as royalty should be, by
divine right. Two millions may be
out of work in England; the children
in the mines and mills of India may
be starved and crippled but the royal
estate must be kept going with the
taxes paid from the sweat of the toll
ers. How else could the royal ones
dress and live royalty?
Quite a bunch of royal robbers at
tended the royal funeral. Kings,
princes, lords, dukes and even the old
Russian queen (whose job of queen
ship was taken from her at the same
time that the simple head Of the car
was taken from HIM was in attend
ance to witness the sad condition OF a
dead queen.
One has no idea how many princes
and things like that are still running
about until a royal burial occurs. At
present it appears that all the royalty
still unburied attended the funeral of
the great and simple queen.
One is tempted to wish that they
would all be inferred at the same
time, thus Kidding the world of a lot

month Of December Special cam
paigns are in preparation in the Eu-
ropean leagues for a nation wide

the intensifying by the Y. G. LIS of
the economic-trade union activities,
such as factory campaigns youth con-
ferences, fighting for the everyday de-
mands, etc.
In America. the Young Workers

ton in the unions to fight for the en-
try of the young workers into the
unions without discrimination and to
drive forward in the unionization Of

of all their members In each union
and there to insist upon those who
are not yet union members joining
and to take up the definite organiza-
ton of youth fractions, linking them
up on city and national scale.

organizing youth conferences in Ger
tain sections OF the country as well
