Polls Open Today for
Chicago Amalgamated
Joint Board Elections

In the election that is now taking
place in the Amalgamated Clothing
Workers for the Chicago joint board
officials, the lines are drawn very
clearly. On one side is the candidate
of the left wing, and the progressive
elements in the union, Nathan Green,
member of the pantsmakers' local,
who is pledged to program which
stands for progress in the union and
against the present smuggling and ex-
pulsion policy carried on by the
present administration.
On the other side is the candidate
of the reactionaries and the die-hards
in the union, Sam Levin, the present
manager of the Chicago joint board,
under whose leadership many of the
active members of the union have
been slugged and terrorized. ,

z. 1t is necessary that the produc-
ton of commodities becomes highly
developed, and men have accumulated
a great deal of experience with the
phenomena of exchange, before the
scientific conviction can be establish
ed that all the different kinds of priv
ate labor, being carried on independ-
emily, are continually being reduced
by this system to the quantitative pro-
portions in which society requires
them.
8. The expression of all commodi-
ties in money, which leads to the
establishment of their character as
values, actually conceals the social
character of private labor, because
this money form gives the absurdity
of one concrete commodity standing
as the universal incarnation of alb
stract human labor. This form of
thought has social validity only for q
definite, historically determined mode
of production, and its mystery vanish
es when it is compared to other forms
or production.
8. In feudal society the relations
in the performance of labor are based
upon personal dependence, and these
social relations appear in their true
nature as the mutual personal rela-
tions of the persons and classes in
that society. Under capitalism these
mutual relations are disguised in the
shape of social relations between the
products of labor.
10. Marks statement that the
formulate of bourgeois economists are
the products of society in which the
process of production controls the
men, rather than the men controlling
the process of production, means that
these formulate, being so diametrical-
ly opposed to the underlying reality,
disclose the complete lack of under
standing of the bourgeoisie of it's own
system; a system controlled by men
must necessarily be a system under
stood by men.

1. Commodities enter into rela-
tons with each other, not as use
values Ca pencil has no use-value re-
lation with a cigar, but merely as
cumulative expressions of homogene-
Gus human labor.
2. The enigmatical character Of
the product of labor arises from it's
form as a commodity, under which
form the social character of labor,
the mutual relations between the pro-
ducers, expresses itself as a social
relation between the products Of la
Dor.
g. This appearance of social re-
lation between the products of labor
creates the illusion that value is a
characteristic that resides within the
commodity itself. This, however, is
only an illusion. The value is an ex-
preston of the equality of all sorts
of human labor, of the social char
acter of labor.
4. The actual nature of the rela-
tionship expressed in the exchange of
commodities is definite social re-
lationship between men.
5. Fetishism, in the religious world,
is the idea that the products of mems
brains (idols, gods) are Independent
beings endowed with life, entering in
to relations both with one another and
with the human race; the fetishism of
commodities, is the idea that the pro-
ducts of mems hands commodities
have an independent existence when
they become commodities, entering
into relations both with one another
and with their producers.
6. The actual process of exchange
is the means whereby the private in
dividuals or groups, carrying on pro
luction independently of one another
come into social contact with each
other in the act of exchange, by
means of which their labor asserts
Lself as part of the labor of society;
this is totally independent of whether
| the individuals or groups are consci
! GUS of this fact or not, and knowledge
of the relations so established does
not change the basis of exchange
which continues to appear to the pro
ducers in the form of value as char
acteristic of the products of labor.
