tirely their original socialist position
on workers education, as education
for the class struggle which even their
European comrades still cling to verb
ally and have passed over entirely in
to the camp of yellow labor leaders or
the futile bourgeois phrasemongers.
They are ready to accept any program
of workers education provided it does
not lead to the promotion of more
aggressive class struggle.
The liberals and reformers, ire
spective of their protestations of free
dom of thought, ETC., serve as a help
ing mate to the reactionary leaders
and themselves disseminate an ideol-
ogy which serves for the perpetuation
Of the oppressive capitalist system.
Among the intellectuals there are
some who realize full well the hope
less future Of the workers education
in the hands of the present reaction
airy leadership, but these take no steps
whatever to combat the false policies
Of such leadership.
These intellectuals who have in
many cases entered into labor educa-
ton in order to avoid open spiritual
degradation, which capitalist policies
demand of them in the capitalist edu-
cational institutions, but they are in
stead falling into the position of spir-
itual servants to these yellow labor
leaders.
These intellectuals who have every
interest in common with the rank and
file of the workers in the labor move
ment, instead of allying themselves
with the workers in the class strug-
giles and making a clean breach with

Mine Company Giving
Starvation" Cure to
Force a Wage Cut

BULGER, Pal can let you know
that the Bulger Block Coal company
here has shut down its mine, and let
the miners go some place else for
work or to starve. They do not care
for the workers. They just look for
more profit.
The mine boss says that the COM
pany cannot run the mine under the
present union scale any more, and
that is the reason why the mine shut
down since March %.
The price of food has gone up and
the company wants to cut the wage
down to the 1917 scale. For six
months last year the mine closed and
lots of workers went in debt to the
stores, some of them 5000 and over,
and they haven't paid them yet.
But now the grocer says, 81 cannot
trust you any more. You owe me 5000
already. If you want to get anything,
pay for it in cash" So the poor min
er goes home without any food to give
his children. This is the way the min
ers live under this capitalist system,
and yet they haven't recognized the
need to change it. They won't yet
read the DAILY WORKER or fight
for their own liberty.
The majority is still under the
opium of religion and alcohol, they
are poisoned by these things and the
capitalist papers so much that they
cannot see what's going on around
them.
Workers Of capitalist American, Join
the Workers Party, the only revolu-
tionary party OF America, and read
the DAILY WORKER, which will
show you way how to get free from
this system Of slavery and starvation
and make a better world.-A. zllich,

capitalist and semi-capitalist theology
and education have become the allies
to the labor cbureaucrats and are
working against the real interests of
the workers.
The Position Of the Workers Party.
The Workers Party calls upon every
honest worker Interested in real work
ing class education to adopt an ag-
gressive militant policy. 1t calls upon
all those who realize the necessity of
uniting labor for more effective strug-
gle against domination to organize
against the present stagnant leader
ship, and unite with the Workers
Party for real working class educa-
ton. is~tt
The Workers Party believes that
the purpose and curriculum of the w.
e. B. must be unequivocally working
class in character, so as to mobilize
the workers spiritually against their
capitalist enemies.
The Workers Party is opposed to
the policy adopted by the labor bu-
reaucrats of excluding workers study
groups from affiliating with the w. E.
B. and calls upon all to see that the
doors OF the w. E. B. are open to all
working class groups, aiming to dis
seminating working class education.
The open reactionary course Of the
imperialists of America and their la
Dor ieutenants calls for the unity of
all workers in an educational policy
which will raise the fighting morale,
the understanding, the confidence and
the will to action of the great body
of American workers.

The dues payment are becoming
more regular, branches are clearing
up their debts to the city Office. The
Chicago league leads the whole coun-
try in the sub campaign, some 120
subs have already been turned in,
literature sales have increased consi-
derably since the Young Worker is
coming out weekly, all of the copies are
now being sold and a greater percent
age is being sold at the shops than
ever before.
A quiet, slow but definite growth
and proletarianization of the league can
be noticed. Half Of the executive
committee are already workers from
the shops and stores, the same with
an even greater percentage Of shop
workers in the city central and all
leading committees Of the Chicago
league.
There are possibilities of immediate
organization of nuclei in Is large Chi
cago shops where two or more league
City executive members and other
active and responsible comrades have
been assigned to each nucleus to Of
ficially establish them, to arrange for
a definite meeting time and place and
to lay out plan of activity for each.
The make up Of our membership at
the present time is indeed very en-
couraging with approximately 20 per
cent engaged in the clothing indus.
try, 80 per cent in mail order houses
and department stores, etc. This large
percentage is due to the campaigns
carried on in this industry. The re-
mainder is divided almost equally
among metal trades, building trades,
leather workers, food workers, print
ing trade workers. Unemployed form
very small percentage and only s
per cent are students.
With the organization of working
area branches covering territories OF
Pullman and South Chicago and with
the establishment Of two nuclei in this
territory, and with the campaign
which is being contemplated by the
city executive in the heavier industry,
the percentage Of members in the
heavy industry will be considerably
higher.
The branch committees were urged
to pay more attention to the organiza.
ton Of all possible nuclei within their
territory, so that as quickly as pos
sible, the working area branches may
cease TO exist and nuclei branches
take their place.

Glass control Of the means OF ex-

two cities, and OF two movie houses,

of the time and can be rented for all
