Home Life Means
Much To Child

Whether the inheritance or the en-.
vironment of the child plays the larger
part in his development has been q
disputed question for several years
There has been good deal of un-
scientific dicussion as to the force
OF the two influences, particularly that
Of heredity.
As a matter of fact, there seems
to be little of dependable basis for
opinions as to how far heredity really
does determine the formation of char
acter, habits and course in life.
Put child of good family, of ex-
cellent ancestry, into bad surround
ings, and what will be the result ?
The child may overcome the unfavor-
able influences about him or he may
succumb to them. There seems to be
no certain way of telling just which
course will be taken.
But there is one certain.thing about
the whole matter. 1t is emphasized
by DR.. D. A. Thorn, director of habit
clinics of Boston and a recognized
authority on child training. In a
study of "Child Management" made
for the children's bureau of the de-
partment of labor, DR.. Thorn says:
After all, it is useless to at
tempt to settle whether heredity
or environment is the more i'm
portant. Every living being is .
affected by both. The practical
question is what may be done to
control both so as to secure the
best results, whether we are try
ing to produce good corn, good
pigs or good people.
After showing that in the case of
raising corn, for example, the selec-
ton of good seed must be considered
along with the choice of suitable soil
and climate if profitable results are
to be expected, DR.. Thorn adds:
Growing boys and girls involve
somewhat the same problem.
Their heredity is fixed, but the
environment can often be i'm
proved. The parents are the ones
who control the destiny of the
child and make his environments,
to large extent. Their mental
ability, their control of their emo
tions, their interests, particularly
their interest in the child, their
ambitions or lack of them, their
moral standards-these all de-
termine what the child shall make
out of the endowment that nature
has given him.
That leaves the problem of train
ing children largely where it so often
has been placed, in the home, in the
hands Of fathers and mothers. There
are outside influences to be consider
ed; but control of these often is more
difficult than control of the influences
first to reach the child and most GER
tain to affect him.
There is nothing impossible in the
situation. 1t is not necessary for the
parent to attempt to discover the
facts, if any, about heredity,
nor to attempt an elaborate investi-
CATION Of the social conditions which
surround the child. The problem is
simpler than that. It begins at
home. and for better or worse it
ends there.-Kansas City

Attempt to Unionize
Negro Laundry Workers

NEW YORK, Nov. ia campaign
to organize the Negro laundry work
ers into the union has started in Har-
lem, where thousands Of Negro work
ers work 10, IL and IL hours a day
for a small wage.
The trade union committee for or
ganizing Negro workers, as a first
step in it's campaign to unionize the
industry, has started to agitate for
the union in the fraternal societies
and churches. 1t is also using NOV
ing picture film to bring home to the
Negro workers the necessity of Or
ganization.
The laundry bosses have taken
away the Saturday half-holiday that
the laundry workers at one time en-
joyed in Harlem, which the union
promises to restore.
The committee plans to organize
the Negro teamsters and chauffeurs
in Harlem and also the painters that
decorate and redecorate homes and
stores, after the drive on the laundry

And Then Living Costs
Are Going Up Too
By LELAND oLos.

Union painters have continued 70

cording to the report Of the q. S. de-
partment Of labor on union wages and
hours. In 10 of the 40 cities covered
by the report union rates for painters
May 1, 1925, we're materially higher
than in 1924. In not a single city did
the Bro. of Painters, Decorators and
Paperhangers take cut.
Extending the comparison back to
1920 we find the painters minimum
hourly rate raised in q of the 40
cities while 4 cities show lower wages
than in 1920. Some Of the increases
were considerable including a gain Of
31.Sc per hour in Pittsburgh and zoe
in Cincinnati. In general the union
has materially improved the living
standards Of its members the last
years.
Painters have the 44-hour week or
better in every city except Richmond
where As hours is still the rule. They
lead the other crafts with a 40-hour
week in Boston, Newark, New York,
Portland, Scranton and Seattle. Since
1913 hours have been reduced in 10
cities.
Chicago tops the list in painter
wages with a minimum Of $3.50 an
hour. Pittsburgh follows with SLABS
and New York with S1.313. Chicago
has a gain of 2Oq5 over 1920 and 1870
over 1913, Pittsburgh $3.50 and 1929.

whereas the reformist c. G. T. is
being increased by the enrolment Of
the civil service elements and clerks.
The more C. G. T. moves to the right
the more it attracts the conservative
and reactionary elements in the labor
movement.
The Unitary c. G. T. has some
100000 members and the reformist
G. G. T. about the same number
During the past year C. G. T. u. has
not grown to any great extent numer-
ically for many reasons: firstly, be-
cause our tactic is not to cause a
break away of either individuals or
whole organizations DESTROYS of join
ing our Confederation of Labor from
the reformist trade union movement.
We advise them instead, to stick to
the reformist confederation and carry
out our tactics inside.
Again, the slow numerical growth
of the c. G. T. U. is in certain
measures due to the fact that the
French trade unions provide nothing
in the way of strike or sickness bene-
fits. The slow development OF the
c. G.. T. u. is, however, compensated
for by the growth of the left wing
inside the reformist confederation.
The Two Congresses.
DOTH congresses were opened on
- the same day. And thereby hangs
a tale. 1t was decided to hold the
congress of the Unitary Confedera-
ton of Labor in Bordeaux But when
the reformist Confederation Of La
Dor announced that its congress
would be held in Paris in September
our comrades resolved to transfer
their congress to Paris likewise hold
II in September in order TO have both
congresses sitting simultaneously for
the purpose of establishing contact
and setting UP a united front.

conducting war which has never
been popular while the reformists of
the socialist fraternity are support
ing the government in this war. This
official support of the French govern
ment's war policy is abhorent to the
masses and as a result some interest
ing phenomena have lately made
their appearance in the French labor
movement. Numerous congresses of
workers and peasants have been held
in France during the past three
months, meeting in the Paris district,
in Bordeaux, in the north and in the
south.
THESE congresses have been re-
4 preventative of wide sections of
the workers, including not only work
ers under the influence of the unitary
and socialist unions, but non-party
workers as WELL Ii is difficult to
state exactly how many workers were
represented, but there was one thing
these congresses did do and that was
to attract fresh strata of the workers
to participation in political life who
had never hitherto taken any active
part therein.
This series OF congresses amply
proves that there is a decidedly for
ward move taking place in the French
labor movement, set going by the
sharpening of the struggle of ideas
going on inside the reformist organ
izations. Left socialist tendencies
have appeared within the socialist
parties, while left wing opposition
has been formed in the reformist Con-
federation Of Labor, and which despite

that statesmen were In session,
man for whom the interests OF
the community play a very great
role"
This opinion of the bourgeois writer
on such a reactionary paper sufficient
ly characteristics the fundamental
features of the two congresses.
THE first act of the c. G. T. U. con-
i gress was to write the other con-
gress proposing that a joint session
be held to go into the question of
unity, failing which 1t was proposed
that a mixed commission be appointed
for this purpose 1t was further pro-
posed that the reformists should hear
a delegation from the unitary con-
gress.
This proposal caused an uproar at
the reformist congress and a battle
began around the question of whether
the delegation ought to be heard or
not Although the leaders were most
decidedly against any such thing, thu
congress majority was in favor Of
giving the delegation a hearing.
When this was made known TO the
c. G. T. u. congress our comrades Ia
proof of the ardent French tempera-
ment), rose as one man and sang the
Internationale. They thought that
since the reformists had decided to
give them hearing the majority were
in favor of unity. But 1t is one thing
to listen to proposals on unity and
quite a different thing TO adopt them.
THIS letter Of the G. G. T. U. to the
reformists was the start of a
struggle Of ideas at the congress of
the reformist Confederation OF Labor.
The question of unity was not on
their agenda as separate question.
but all the same out of the six days
proceedings three days were devoted
TO this burning question.

it's uniformed character, does reflect
the dissatisfaction with the policy of
the reformist trade union leaders to
be seen in working class circles.
Correlation of Forces in the Trade
Union Movement.
Out of the twelve million workers
~ and employees in France only one
million are in the ranks of the two
considerations of labor; in other
words, only one-tenth of the workers
of France are in any way organized
in unions. The old historical tradi-
tions of the French labor movement
are to blame for this state of affairs,
there never having been big organ
izations or a trade union movement
counting its members by the million.
This is to be explained by the specific
structure of the unions, their peculiar
line of policy and by the fact that
they have preferably organized only.
the active sections of the working
class. The broad non-party masses
with their passive attitude to political
questions still continue on the whole
TO. stand apart from the trade union
movement.
AS far as membership goes, both
considerations had much about the
same numbers at their last con-
crosses. For some few months prior
to its congress our Unitary Confed-
Grafton was by far the stronger, but
before their congress the reformists
did their utmost to get all reformist
elements over to their side and on
the eve of the congress the National
Teachers Union with 10000 members
joined the reformist Confederation of
Labor, an event which had great
political effect.
TT must be noted that generally
L speaking our Unitary Confederation
is steadily growing and becoming in
creasingly working class in character.

mission of the reformist confedera-
ton fixed on August 26th as their
congress date so as not to have the
other congress meeting alongside
theirs. Determined to have both con-
crosses sitting at the same time, the
c. G. T. U. again altered its congress
date. This put the reformists in a
very awkward position since they
would have had to change their con-
gress date again, which would have
shown that they were clearly afraid
of the Unitary Confederation, so they
decided to open their congress on
the day appointed in spite of the
fact that the c. G. T. U. was going
to meet in congress on the same
day.
THUS both congresses were opened
L in Paris on August 26th in differ

had previously proposed to the re-
formists that the two congresses be
held in the same building but in
different halls so as to have sort of

1917 WAGE CUT
SCALE FOLLOWS
STARVATION CURE
But Militant Miners Fol
low T. u. E. L.
BY TOM RAY

PITTSBURGH, Pa, Nov. 16.--With
conditions growing worse in the Pitts
burgh district, the Pittsburgh Coal
company has opened up two more
mines under the 1917 scale, the Bells
mine at Carnegie, and the one known
as mo. 10" at Library, Pa, which
is the largest coal mine owned by this
outfit.
Reports are numerous that some
thing unusual has happened to the
takers leading the U. NJ. w. of A.
These come from miners who have al
ways supported the treacherous pol
icies of John L. Lewis by swinging
TO the right instead of the left, sup
porting the policies of the chamber of
commerce-the 1917 scale movement,
led by the renegades E. S. Mccullough
and Mike Halapy.
OF course, the miners have made
Ia good fight, but when we consider
seriously, six months is long time
to fight against starvation. Many
miners have become discouraged over
the long road to victory.
With the results of the A. F. of l..
convention and nothing done on be-
half of the miners by the most UNI
grateful takers in all history, the
proceedings of that convention proves
conclusively that there is no hope
under their rule for the workers of
America
William Green says we are not an
industrial nation and that the time
is not opportune for any changes in
the A. F. of L., while the operators
are tearing the CUTS out of the U. M.
of A., the backbone of the A. F. of l..
and nearly every other union suffering
the attacks of the capitalist class.
But the militant minority goes for
ward, tho small in numbers, under
the leadership of Foster which will
some day lay Green on the scrap pile,
along with his fatter brothers who
have to be wheeled around Atlantic
City's scab hotels by colored work.
ers receiving the magnificent sum or
20 cents an hour.
Green, the miners, thank the leader
ship of the T. U. E. L. for their
splendid work, while they have moth
ing but contempt for you and your
kind, who serve the bosses while the
miners live in despair.
