Denounced by Leaders.
Disagreement from the headquar-
ters of the Seventh Day Adventist
organization in Washington that to-
morrow is the decreed date for the
millennium has not affected the prop
aratons of the little band. Mrs
Margaret w. Rowen, leader of those
who have fixed the date for tomor-
row, was denounced by the church
leaders. It is the CONCEPTION of the
adventists organization that the date
fixed by her is extremely premature
The seven plagues-including the
great battle of rmageddon-must

maintained by the main group OF
Adventists.

ATTACK SOLICITING
IN PUBLIC SCHOOLS
Association Members Argue
Charges of Discrimination
in Fund Raising.

The question Of the solicitation OF
contributions in the public schools
reached storm proportions at a meet
ing of the District of Columbia Public
School Association in the District
Building last night when charges of
discrimination in allowing any form
Of soliciting were made. and the asso-
citation went on record as disapprov-
ing any form of soliciting for funds
among school children.
The issue arose when Mrs. E. r.
kalmbach and others expressed OBJ
jections to the distribution OF envel-
ores to the school children as an In
direct method of appealing to the
parents to contribute toward the
Washington Hospital radio fund. She
charged that discrimination had been
shown in granting the right to solicit
for the fund, and told of instances
where proposed solicitations had been
turned down by the school authorities.
The Board of Education recently
granted the right to distribute the
envelopes to those in charge of rails
ing the fund, believing 1t TO be for a
worthy cause.
Discuss Building Program.
The five-year school building pro-
gram was briefly discussed at the
meeting and several members OF the
association, while expressing the
opinion that the program as made out
is not perfect. were of the belief that
nothing should be done to hamper the
program.
Dr. William A. White. head of ST.
Elizabeth's Hospital, delivered an ad-
dress on THE Need Of Psychiatrists in
the Schools" He said that schools
have gone ahead more or less blindly

anything constructive for a child of

DIR. White told how defective men
tality and criminology can nearly al
ways be traced back to early child
hood and emphasized the Importance

FOR WORLD TRADE union UNITY

We publish herewith the extracts from the
Special Supplement- to the Monthly Circular Labor Research
Department Of the British Trade Union further
ing world trade union unity.
The Special Supplement began with preface by Purcell
president of the international Trade Unions Amste
da) and composed largely Of original
between the Red International Of Labor Amsterdam
right wing oficialdom, conferences, etc.
The publication this Supplement very frank and
militant announcement Of its president the Aster
dam International the complete dis
ruptve tactics of the wing contains all are
OF the tremendous hold that the Unity
has gained the British trade
section of the Amsterdam Internationally. Note

elusive and firmly welded interna-
tional trade union movement has
never hitherto existed.
Only our presents we suppose
common efforts will lead, we hope,
to an end being put to the split.
We willingly fall in with your
wish that you receive something in
written form which would serve as
a basis for the coming negotiations.
We on our part are striving to
create unity within the trade union
movement on an international and
national scale, that is to say, as far
as possible TO get the closest unfit
cation Of all trade union organiza-
tions, those affiliated to the Red In
ternationaI Of Labor Unions or the
international Federation of Trade
Unions as we'll as those standing
completely aside from any interna-
tional federated bodies, on the ne
cessary condition that these organ
izations standing apart from these
declarations recognize the principle
of the class struggle.
We think there is no need to ex-
plain why we are striving to achieve
this unification, this alliance of trade
unions with an orlentation genuine
ly anti-capitaIist. You know as we'll
as we do that the unity of the in
ternational trade union movement is
the very first precondition to a sue
cessfuI fight both against the Of
fensive of capital and the fascist
reaction and against the capitalist
order as a whole.
We hold that the best means Of
attaining unity and being able to
create one single Trade Union In
ternationaI would be the converting
general joint congress, Of a world
congress Of labor. AS to how, when
and where this congress could take
place would not be difficult matter
to agree to during the course Of the
negotiations. We note your view that
between "the policy" which we lay
down as the basis Of our work In
the trade unions and yours there
exists a fundamental difference, that
here there exists a profound abyss,
"mueh wider than that Of more or
less radical policy"
The significance Of this phrase Is
not quite clear to us. For as a
matter Of fact those differences
which exist as between US are moth
ing new-they have been in exist
ence for number Of years now and
we're probably known to and taken
into consideration by the Vienna
Congress Of your Federation. II is
self-understood that In the proper
place and at the proper time we
will be ready to discuss in all de-
tails the differences In opinion
which divide US from you. In any
case we are pleased to confirm the
TACT that there Is a desire on your

The Attitude Of the Trades
Union Congress.

On September 1, Mr.. A. A. Purcell
delivering his presidents address to
the Hull Trades Union Congress, at
which fraternal delegation from
Russia, headed by Tomsky, was pres.
q ent,s referred to the decisions of the
Vienna meeting, and used one or two
phrases, Of which the most significant
g vas
We must assuredly make the most
of every opportunity, dignified or
otherwise, to bring every national
trade union center within the four
corners of a genuinely united and
avowedly anti-captaIist Internatio-
nal Federation of Trade Unions.
This was taken up by Mr.. Pollitt
and Mr.. Hallsworth in the discussion
of the British delegations report on
the Vienna Congress. An all-in con-
gress was suggested. Finally, the
Trade Union Congress unanimously
agreed to the following statement
made from the chair. by Mr.. A. A.
PURCELL
J think ! ought to take this OBJ
portunity Of impressing upon Con-
gress the significant fact that we
have now received from practically
all those Continental nations where
the labor movement is in a dis
turbed condition indications that
they are looking to the British
Trades Union Congress as demon
stration Of that unity which It APP
pears to me is so vitality necessary.
From Italy and Germany, and now
from France, the dissident sections
have intimated their desire for uni
ty, and If our movement is to fulfil
its great destiny, something might
be done to consummate that>desire.
: In no country is unity so firmly esta-
blished as in Great Britain, and II
seems incumbent upon this Con-
gress, without any formal resolution
or indulging in long discussion, to
take such steps in bringing together
the different elements of the labor
movement in Europe in an effort to
establish that solidarity which will
make for world peace. !, therefore,
suggest TO Congress that they en-
power the general council, through
the international Federation of
Trade Unions, to take all possible
steps to bring the parties together.
Immediately after the Hull Con-
gress, meeting of the, executive COM
mittee of the I. f. T. U. was held at
Amsterdam on September IL. The
! British delegates put forward prop
osals. and as a result letter was sent
to Moscow
To the AIl-Russian Central Council Of
Trade Unions, Moscow.
Amsterdam Sept. IL, 1924.
Comrades,
Our executive committee, at its
meeting on the nth Sept. consider
ed your letter Of the 26th July, and
instructed US to reply as foilows:-
The desire for the restoration Of
the organlzational unity Of the trade
union movement, for the destruction
of which we are not responsible, has
always been present with US, and
has been repeatedly expressed by
US. We also agree with what you
say: "That the struggle between
labor and capital, which is becoming
more and more acute, can be sue
eessful only when the forces Of the
economic organizations Of the pro-
ietariat will be concentrated, and
the unity Of the international trade
union movement achieved.
u must, however, be realized that
between the policy that you reeoan-
ize as the basis Of trade union act
ivity and that to which we adhere,
The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1925-04-04

there is a fundamental difference,
which is much wider than that of
more or less radical policy. To bring
these widely different lines of
thought into agreement can be no
light task, but we are willing to
strain all our powers to perform it.
Before we can consider entering
into negotiations as proposed by
you, il is in our view desirable to
have something in writing as a
basis for discussion, so that we may
see where agreement on principles
and policy is possible. We would
therefore request you to make writ
ten proposals, from which we can
judge whether a common basis Of
agreement can be found.
As you know, the instructions
which we received in Vienna, in re-
gard to any negotiations as to unity
that might take place, were quite
definite, but this question can be. left
for the time being. We need not
emphasize the fact that the execut-
tive committee could not, in this
most important matter, take any
binding decisions that exceed the
instructions we received at Vienna
without consulting our general eoun-
Gil, and possibly even another con-
gress.
Looking forward to receiving your
reply, With international greetings,
For the Executive Committee Of
the international Federation Of
Trade Unions:
The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1925-04-04
British Leaders Urge Trade Union Unity

that lies in your power to find a
common line of action.
AS we on our part have the same
desire, we declare that the chiefest
and most important guiding prin-
ciplel in the activities of the trade
union and workers organizations, as
we hold, is to get free of the ire
conciIabIe contradiction in interests
between labor and capital, this de-
handing class war to the knife
between the wage-sIave and the
capitalist classes for the final abo-
ition Of the capitalist system and
the emancipation of the proIetariat
from the oppression of capitalist ex-
pIoitation and the beggary, barbar-
ism and slavery which it brings in
its train.
Hence the reason for our prop
osaI: a complete break with every
form Of class collaboration with the
bourgeoisie, a common fight Of the
workers and their organizations, on
a national and international scale
against world capital-and thanks
to this, the full readiness of all
genuine militant organizations fight
ing for the emancipation of the
working class might be rendered
possible.
We await your reply and partI-
cularly notices as to when and
where in your opinion the first ne
gotiations between your represent
atives and ours might be held.
Although we for our part are also
ready to continue, as fas,.as. this
might be necessary, correspondence
on the question of unity, it seems
desirable to US, however, and Il
would be more useful as far as the
business itself is concerned, If with
the aid of the first exchange Of
views and opinions-eVen IL such a
meeting were not to bear any kind
Of binding character whatsoever
the way was to be prepared for all
further steps towards the goal we
have in view.
With comradeIy greetings,
President of the AII-Russian
Central Council of Trade Unions:

Secretary of the AIl-Russlan

We gather from your letter Of July
26, and also from this last letter,
that you do not appear willing to at
fiIiate with the I. r. T. U. on the
basis Of its rules and resolutions.
Instead Of doing so you propose the
converting Of a Joint general con-
gress, a world labor congress, to
which would be invited not only
the organizations affiliated with the
!. F. 7. U. and the r. !. L. u, but
all other organizations outside these
Internationas which recognize the
principle Of class war.
We have already called your at
tention in our letter Of September
II to the fact that the Vienna Con-
gress gave US definite directions for
the opening Of negotiations on the
question Of utilization Of the Russian
trade unions to the l. r. T. U.
II is for our general council which
together with the executive commit
tee, constitute the two bodies COM

decisions Of our international Con-
crosses, to consider and define Its
