NEGROES FIGHT

WASHINGTON, July 15.-FP)-
Negro families are attempting to find
better homes in every section of the
country. Their efforts to find suitable
places to live make a stirring story.

residents their new homes have been

er in the mill, factory, and mine. And
the sooner he realize it the sooner
will he fight for an organization that
will fight his battles for higher wages,
lower hours and more freedom in the
class room, as the trade unions fight
for the industrial workers.
Schools Run For Big Business
Upton Sinclair has produced con-
elusive evidence in his Goose Step"
and "Goslings" to convince anyone
that the schools and colleges are run
for the interests of big business. AS
Dr. Tilasey, district superintendent Of
the public schools of New York City
says: Il do not know any school sys-
tenn in the United States which is run
for the benefit of the children. They
are all run for the benefit of the
gang" And the gang" is none other
than the predatory interests that rule
supreme both government and in
dustry.
Children Turned Out BY Yard
The schools of this country are run
like factories; the children are the
raw material and are turned out like
biscuits and bolts, completely standar-
lied. The rulers of imperial America
hire the teachers for this job of mold
ing your children so that they will
make good docile wage slaves. The
more reactionary the teacher the bet
ter can he repress and suppress the
individualism and freedom inherent in
your child. The teacher tainted with
the least liberalism or radicalism is
bounded and spied upon like a thief or
traitor.
I'VE must please the business man,
otherwise they will not vote the bonds
to keep our schools going says the
Los Angeles superintended of schools.
Thus is it true thruout the country.
The schools are here to inculcate the
children's minds with propaganda of
the vilest brand. my country right
or wrong" is the leading motto that
is upheld in our public schools.
Perpetual Profit System
As Nicholas Murray Butler. chief
master of Columbia University says:
The schools must teach that "the duty
of one generation is to pass on to the
next, unimpaired, the institutions it
has inherited from it's forbears." In
other words what has been and is now
is perfect.
Teachers Must Organize
1t thus becomes apparent that the
teacher must organize into powerful
unions if he is desirious of lettering
his present measely salary" and rid
ding his profession of the cowardice
and timidity that is so typical of his
profession. He must revolt and de-
mand that his dignity and conscience
and liberty and independence be up
held and reckoned with He must also
revolt against the routine and tedi-
GUS and nerve-wrecking work he is now
forced to perform after school hours.
Only in organization can these
things become real. For at present
the teacher is the docile tool of the
orthodox social, religious and econom-
ic views that are in sway today. The
Scopes trial proves this fact beyond
doubt.

American Labor Atrocities.
Suddenly the doors we're broken
open. Many men, including some in
United States navy uniforms, rushed
in. They attacked the members Of
the sociable party and drove men
and women into the streets. Having
possession Of the hall, they demolish-
ed furniture.
Upon three children, a boy seven
years old and two girls, nine and ten,
they upset a boiler of hot coffee,
gripping one and disfiguring all three
for life.
They carried furniture and station
cry into the street, made a pile and
fired it. Everything portable in the
hall was destroyed

complacent faith in mythical para
disc. AS a result of these jolts and
jars their minds will begin to see the
light of day and the real world they
live in.
Religion o. KS Slavery.
From their sluggishness and SNUG
gishness will arise a revolving attitude
towards the ignorant and primitive
lives they are now forced to live be-
cause of the mythical chains of christ
ianity that enslave them.
And it is due time that they do re-
volt against the crimes committed by
the christian church, for it is the his
torical truth that christianity has al
ways o. K.ed the slavery and wars
brought about by the rulers and mast
ers of the enslaved masses. No won
der is it that Bryan is repeatedly
praising the ignorant for woe to him
if the masses saw thru his trickery
and hypocrisy!
The old fairy tale about the poor
inheriting the heavens and the rich
going to hell is still being preached
by Bryan, yet Mr.. Bryan is still going
wild in his chase for the dollar. By
his preaching Of bunk to the masses
he has amassed not small fortune.
Christianity Aids Capitalism
A hungry worker can have faith in
the bible, but he cannot study science.
Therefore so long as modern christ
ianity holds sway over the masses,
so long as the organs can hypnotic
the masses to look towards heaven for
their salvation, so long will they re-
main the victims of the idle pluto
Gratis. But when the masses will re-
volt and unchain themselves from the
rawlings of religious fanatics and thus
look for their betterment here and
now the days of wage-slavery will be
numbered.
1t is therefore quiet obvious that
the capitalists are drunk with Joy
when they can get the legislatures to
pass laws barring the teaching of evo-
luton, and at the same time make
bible reading in the public schools
compulsory. For no matter how rot
ten the conditions under which the
workers toll, and regardless Of the
starvation wages they receive, the
worker who is dominated by the
organs will always look to heaven
for better conditions and for a better
day.
Such religiously dominated wage
slaves will always be too blind TO de-
mand higher wage, shorter work
ing day and better working condi-
lions. Such workers never compose
the militant working class who fight
for the end of wage slavery.
Would Spread Bigotry
Because of these cold facts the rul-
ing class is anxious for more ignorant
and bigoted legislatures to pass such
anti-evolution laws as the one under
fire in Tennessee. At present several
more states are considering enacting
similar slave laws, and compel the
children of the working class to be-
come imbued with religious bigotry.
With the passing of such legisla-
ton we have further indubitable proof
that the teachers and professors are
not free and dignified and independ-
ent (as some budding school worms
seem to think but are simply the
mouth-pieces TO the present capitalist

Comrade Zinoviev's speech.
The speech follows:
BY GREGORY zINovIEv.
Comrades: In certain parts of the
world events are now developing
which constitute, altho for the time
being on a relatively small scale, the
precursors of those great upheavals
which will undoubtedly take place on
a huge scale in the future. One OF
these is the war in Morocco. In Nor
occo there is proceeding a typical
colonial war which affects only two
of the great powers. But in this
struggle there are to be seen, as the
sun in drop of water, the outlines
of great events which await humanity
in the next few years.
In one of his writings just before
his death, Comrade Lenin stated that,
in about the years 1925 or 1928 new
great world war was to be expected
which would cost humanity five to
ten times more victims than the war
of 1914 tho 1918.
Socialists Again for Robber War.
The events which we are now OBJ
serving show that this prediction is
undoubtedly proving correct. In fact
the French Republic, in which the
mensheviki who defeated Poincare are
in power, government which calls
itself democratic and left govern
ment, the government Of the left
bloc. is now carrying on typical
colonial war of plumber and robbery

have expected, after the lessoni
which the workers Of the whole world
