WRONGED CHILDHOOD

One of our elder statesmen at Washington, dis
tngushed for public service and also for dignity lack
of humor and general hghbrowishness sheds this IL
Illuminating light on his childhood
At the age of seven, he says, he used to sit on
stool and read the Edinburgh Review and Blackwoods
Magazine at his fathers home, and ponder articles on
such subjects as 'sWas Shakespeare Influenced by
Homer"
That accounts for a great deal. And his father
let him do it, and apparently encouraged it! True,
there were no newspaper comics then but. There
are wrongs done to childhood of kind adequate
y criticised and there merits in the comic cartoons
never fully appreciated.

Offset to some extent by the lessons
the party membership may learn from

parting company with our organiza-

right wing elements against the poll
cies and candidates Of the left wing
supported by the Workers Party,
whether these have any direct con-
nection with the party or otherwise.
The Workers (Communist) Party is
always the party of the left wing, Of
the progressive and revolutionary
workers.

members of the Workers Party, to
support the left wing whether 1t be
composed of Communists entirely, or
whether it be a common movement of
Communists and non-party workers.
Under no conditions is it permissible
for a Communist to give support in
any way to the right wing and against
a left wing group. To do so is trea-
son to the whole progressive and revo-
lutionary left wing of the American
labor movement.
Some eleven members of the Work
ers Party, by signing document at
the solicitation of right wing official
while elections were going on, COM
mitted such an act. The central execu-
tive committee of the party has inves-
tigated the matter fully. 1t finds that
while there was some confusion exist
ing in the minds of many of these
comrades which caused them to make
this mistake without having any in
tentions to injure the left wing, yet
these excuses do not mitigate the
harmful consequences Of the act it.

The Workers Party cannot remain
the unchallenged champion of all pro-

within the labor movement unless it
sharply rebukes and corrects all such
mistakes as this one. The central ex-
ecutive committee therefore called up
on the comrades in question to ad-
NIT their mistake as an assurance
that the lesson of the present would

in the future.

new YORK WORLD
FIGHTS AGAINST
!. CHILD LABOR LAW

NEW YORK. Owen r. Lovejoy,
secretary national child labor commit
tee takes issue with the New York
Worlds prophecy that the child labor
amendment is doomed to defeat. The
Worlds forecast was made in page
length feature article, based on state
ments of governors and the newspa-
per's own correspondents.
Lovejoy shows that the enemies of
the amendment have swamped the
country with misrepresentation and
caustically adds that the child-slavers
have had no lack of funds for this
purpose.
Emphasizing the need for federal
protection of the child worker he cites
the fact that 100000 children under
16 are gainfully employed, with AGO.
600 of them subject to industrial dis
ease and accident, long hours, night
work and deprivation Of adequate
schooling.
None of the backward states have
laws to protect their little toiIers,
since the national child labor laws
we're suspended, he says, refuting the
claim of the World and other states
rights" opponents Of the amendment
that the several commonwealths
would work out their own children's
salvation.
