Communists Active inLos Angeles Election
Communists Fight for the Schools

10 To realize the benefits the workers
should derive from the schools and
colleges / propose the following:
Education.
Ca) That history textbooks used at
present in. our public schools be
thoroly revised and only such text
books that conform with the estab-
lished scientific and historical facts be
used.
(b) That service to society along
the lines Of arts and sciences be en-
phasized as the accomplishment to be
sought by our future citizens rather
than personal gain and the chase for
profits.
(c) Keep religious training and in
fuences out Of the schools.
I'D No working class publication
should be barred from our school lib
raries.
(e) Strict enforcement of compuls-
DRY school attendance laws.
Essential Prerequisites for Teachers.
Courses in working class history
and kindred social sciences should be
prerequisites for all teachers.
Teachers Rights.
Teachers must be permitted to or
ganize in labor unions. No teacher
should be expelled for holding beliefs
inimical to the present capitalistic
system.
Administration.
Management of schools should be
vested in committees elected by teach
ers with representation from the
students in the high schools.
Building Construction and
Maintenance.
Ia That strictly union labor be en-
ployed in all construction of new
schools as we'll as on repairs and
maintenance in existing school build
ings.-
OBJ That only union made school
equipment and supplies be purchased.
=. Military Training.
Military training should be abol-
ished as it fosters militarism which is
an instrument in the hands Of the
capitalists to crush the workers in
their struggles for emancipation.
Race Segregation.
|, No segregation or discrimination be-
cause Of color, race or creed.
: The candidate running on the above
platform knows that the ruling class
will not permit the realization Of his
demands under the present system of
society and therefore pledges himself
when elected to work for the estab-
Iishment of Communist society.

Candidate for Board Of EductIon,

$4,000 JObIess in Los Angeles

finance committee replied that the
city council has already done a little
towards the unemployed situation,
and that the money appropriated,
$4,000 was used in employing those
Iout of work. These were paid union
wages.
s This statement was repudiated by
Brother Murphy who showed that the
workers were supposed to receive
union wages but when pay day came
they found that after paying for trans
portation and other incidentals the
workers, the few of them who were
employed, had rs cents left for four
hours work.
Goes Under Amusement
Comrade Queen Silver, warned the
capitalist representatives that the I'M
employed will grow so desperate that
they will take things into their own
hands when they will find out that
the city council refuses to do any
thing for them. When that time
comes, there is no telling what will
happen.
The final reply that the committee
Of the unemployed received was that
the council will take the unemploy-
ment problem under serious advise
ment. Mr. Mushet ending the hearing
by stating that Poverty always was,
and l suppose always will be with

dollars in advertisements all over the
country for more workers to come. to
sunny California" where the open

are scarce, wages low and the hours
long. California is a paradise for
the "open shoppers" but a hell for
workers.

Negro Workers Are

Especial to The Daily Worker.l
Los ANGELES, April "a The
Workers Party in Los Angeles is
swinging into action in the munich
pal election campaign for May is. Ev-
cry available means is being used to
get the message of the Communist
program over to the workers and to
the organized labor movement in this
city. Street meetings are held every
Tuesday and Saturday nights at
Brooklyn and Soto to get behind the
candidacy and program of the Work
ers Party for the city board of edu-
cation, in the person of Emmanuel
Levin, city organizer of the party.
Last Saturday night an enthusiastic
parade ended up in big meeting on
this corner, where Comrade Levin told
the assembled crowd of the fight that
the Communists are waging to organ
ize the exploited workers against the
capitalist rule.
The Young Workers League is &C
lively supporting the campaign with
speakers of their own and with Com
munist literatureaon the political is
sues confronting the working class.
Tuesday. night. April 81, another
street meeting was held at First and
Cummings. addressed by Comrades
German and Bush, and this meeting
was marked by the presence of a dele
gated body from a Negro workers
organization in the city. Plans are
being made to hold other street meet
ings in the section OF the city where
large numbers Of Negroes live, in an
effort to draw the Negro workers to
our program and to the struggle
against race discrimination especially.
The party IS holding open air meet

The Struggle in Bulgaria

The capitalist press dispatches from Bulgaria
have lost their exultant tone. The sturdy resist
snce of the workers and peasants to the murder
gangs of the Zankoy government has aroused the
admiration even of their enemies.
The Zankoy government has been allowed by
the allied commission to add 1000 troops to it's
army to aid in crushing the revolution and as this
over the protests of Roumania, Jugo-Slavia
and Greece it appears that the Bulgarian. revolt
is of a mass character, contrary to the inspired
dispatches that at first laid all the blame on a
little band of terrorists
Three labor members of the British house of
commons, who were in Sofia at the time of the
bomb explosion, have made vigorous protest
against the support of the Zankov government and
denounce it as bloody clique to which the work
ers and peasants owe no allegiance. They have
called upon British labor to take action to stop
the wholesale murders of workers, peasants, Com
munists and members of the left parties
British labor has way of popping up these
days in unexpected places and its utterances be-
come more and more of menace to the imperialist
plans of the rulers. These three members of par
lament are long way from being revolutionists,
but the way to aid the workers and peasants of
Bulgaria is the way they have suggested-action
by workers in the countries whose governments
support the zankov murder regime.
When reformists like these British members of
parliament protest war on revoutionists led by
Communists it is evidence that the imperiaists are
Overplaying their hand.
From the Balkan corridor the European revolu-
ton may Gomez even the capitalist press admits
it and the rulers seem now to be confronted with
the choice of either precipitatng great mass out
breaks by continued support of Zankov or of al
lowing Bulgaria to set up workers. and peasants
government that will be the nucleus of a Balkan
federation hostile to European capitalism and
friendly to Soviet Russia
The route to Asia, the pathway of European
Imperialism may be closed again as it was closed
in the fifteenth century to the merchant class of
Europe.

The DGwes Plan at Home

The dilemma of the capitalists of the allied
tries which "won the war; in collecting repara-
tons in goods from Germany by extracting the
last drop of blood from German workers under
the Dawes plan, without at the same time running
their own markets and putting their own pro
ductive machinery into cold storage, is beginning
to have definite effect upon the lives of American
workers.
The president of the Bethlehem Steel company,
Eugene G. Grace, in the company's bulletin adj
dresses message to the steel workers. telling them
how the inflow of goods produced by cheap labor
in foreign lands makes it necessary for American
business and-of course-American labor to "use
every method to keep down the cost of production"
Grace's message says, in part:
There is doubt but that economy thru the
elimination Of waste Is becoming increasingly I'm
portant- We must obtain the same refinement in the
Of time and materials have In the use of
machines To meet the inflow of Iower-priced goods
from and the keen competition which is
developing at home, American business will be OBJ +
llsed to every method at its disposal to keep
down the cost Of production" &
Mr.. Grace in his message goes on to say how
peculiarly fortunate it is that in this struggle be-
tween great combines of capital, each trying to
cut costs lower than the Dawes slave plan cam the
Bethlehem Steel corporation can count upon the
economy and cooperation obtained as a result
of the company's plan which gives the employees,
thru their committee, representation in the oper-
alton of plants
The Communists have always pointed out that
such company unions are for the benefit of the
company and are conflicting to the interests of
the workers. Some of the trade union officials pre-.
tend to oppose the company Unions but their devo.
ton to class collaboration will either force them
to surrender to the company union or to turn the
existing unions into Organizations for class col
liberation dndistngllshable from company
unions.
Pressure from both classes is increasing swiftly
with the contradictions involved in international
capitalism, and the labor bureaucracy is therefore
seen to be busily, engaged in making company
unions out ofswhat the rank and file looks to ms
organs Of struggle. s

unions Of teachers be permitted, that
students and teachers committees be
given control of the schools, that mill
tary training be abolished, and race
segregation wiped out.
Open air meetings are being held,
and thousands of leaflets have been
distributed.
The Communist program, Endorsed
by Levin, follows:
Education for service-Not for
profit!
Let the teachers run the schoolsl
Program of Emanuel Levin, work
ing class candidate for member of
board of education in the May munich
pal elections, 1925, endorsed by the
Workers (Communist) Party.
Since the existing school system is
one of the institutions used to per-
petuate the capitalist system, l, the
working class candidate demand that:
Our school system be changed to
train and fit the child and youth to
be citizens in society based upon
production for use and not for porfit;
in a society in which the means of
production and distribution and nat
ural resources are in the hands Of the
workers and farmers.
The working class has no voice or
influence in, shaping the educational
policies of our school system. The
existing educational system antagon-
ICES the school children against or
ganized labor.
The next books used, she military
training and so called Patriotic OBJ
servances" are no more than means
to mold the child into an instrument
for the interest of the capitalists as
against the interests of the working
class. This was seen in the world
war and in every strike for better
conditions in which the workers have
been engaged.
The teachers are deprived of their
rights to express their views on so
cial and political problems out Of fear
of losing their positions.
The working class districts are the
last in which school improvements are
made or new school buildings erected,
while the wealthy residential sections
are. given first consideration.
Buildings are constructed and i'm
provements are made under open shop
conditions.
The purchase Of school equipment
and building construction are con.
trolled by those who are financially
interested in the contracts either di-
rectly or indirectly.

other hand, re-loan this tremendous

Inent situation. To this suggestion
Mr.. Mushet, chairman of the finance
committee Of the city council, replied
that this money cannot be used, as
that fund was secured thru city bonds,
that the city council has no funds
at it's disposal for the relief of the
unemployed.
Sidney Bush, another member of
the committee, representing the
Workers Party told the gentlemen,
the representatives of capitalism of
Los Angeles, that the problem of I'M
employment must not be considered
a temporary condition. Unemploy-
ment is the result of capitalist ex-
ploitation of the working class, the
wages system. AS long as we will
have, this system, we will have I'M
employment. This fact the commit
tee representing the city council must
realize. The unemployed are those
very workers who have helped to pro-
duce and create all wealth. And be-
cause they produced much and re-
ceived little for their labor is the
reason why these workers are now in
distress. Therefore, the unemployed
demand that the city provide them
with work, at union scale of wages
and under union conditions. The work
ers want no charity, they are able
bodied men and women and want
work.
