A Workers and Farmers Government
The capitalist rulers do not intend
that such movements shall succeed,
and proof that they have not succeed

combined activities in behalf Of tn,

not been able to stop the steadily in.

The problems facing the farmers az
well as the workers are complex and
the basis for their solution lies in do

ment
Real, Not Fake co-operatives.
OF course, farmers should partici-
pate In cooperative efforts, even un.
der the capitalist system because of
the training and education it gives
them in managing their own affairs
but such co-operatives must be really
owned and closely controlled by farm
ers and when so doing it must also
always be kept in mind that the real
evil Of exploitation under which they
suffer cannot be abolished in that way
For a substantial solution Of their
problems they must build their own
political and economic system and ii
is the important task Of the Workers
(Communist) Party to organize and
perfect such system. Every farmer
should make it point to study care
fully the program and constitution OF
this organization.

trial work, after school work, boot
backing, messenger boys, newsboys
etc. The actual number OF child-labor
ers in this country may be more &C
curately guaged from q comparison Of
the discrepancy between the total
amount of children in this country
and the total that attends school dur
ing the year. From this II can be seer
that the correct figure would be near
er to 100000. This makes the prob
lem Of child labor a most prominent
one. The following gives good es
timation on the existing legislation
legalizing the employment of children
Fourteen states allow children tc
go to work without a common school
education.
Nineteen states do not make physi
cal fitness for work condition Of en-
ployment.
Eleven states allow children under
sixteen to work from nine to eleven

Four states do not protect children
under sixteen from night work.

congress were declared unconstitution

bounds. The twentieth amendment

There are at least 13 states where

OF big profits for important industries

The Campaign

We don't rely upon the lobbying OF
the legislative committees Of the Com.
pers' machine; or upon the G. P. P. A.
and LaFollette. We must organize
the strength of the workers in unit
ed front to fight for these demands
and get their support for the Young
Workers League and the Workers
Party. The campaign is divided as
follows: Literature and press, pub
licity agitation for our demands and
organization.
Organization.
1. To issue joint call with Work
ers Party for local united front
conferences to combat exploitation of
child labor, these conferences to con-
sist of organizations Of workers and
poor farmers.
2. Special efforts to be made to
draw into these conferences organiza.
tions Of working class youth, working
class women's organizations and or
CARNATIONS Of poor farmers.
3. A call for these conferences
should be issued by the local organiza-
tions in conjunction with the Workers
Party including also sympathetic la
Dor organizations.
4. The date of issuing call for the
conferences will depend upon whether
there has been sufficient agitation
carried on in. favor of such a cam
paign. We must guard against pre-.
mature calling of such conferences.
5. The National Executive Commit
tee must be kept informed regularly
by weekly reports on the development
of the campaign in each locality.
Duty of Press.
1. The Young Worker, the Young
Comrade in cooperation with the
DAILY WORKER systematically car.
ry news, agitation articles, and editor
lals.
2. Leaflets shall be issued on spec
ial phases of the work.
8. We must popularize our de-
mands as outlined in this policy and
critic the child labor amendment in
the light Of our demands.

item bearing on child labor.

gether. While there may be some
truth in this assertion it is hardly
the chief reason why farm organiza,
tons are not able to deliver the goods
in a way satisfactory to the farmer
and in materially improving his living
conditions.
Cooperation Doesn't Remove
Capitalism.
The main reason why they meet
with failure or much limited success
is to be found in the fact that they
are operating within the framework
of the private business system Of cap
italism which is absolutely hostile to
mass cooperative enterprises, and
this circumstance decidedly curtails
their activities. From the very begin
ming they are viciously fought by
private business.
A striking example Of how the cap
italist system prevents the success OF
cooperative efforts is to be found in
the attempt of the non-partisan
league in North Dakota to promote
the state mill and elevator system at
Grand Forks. First, 1t was a difficult
Job to raise the funds wherewith to
construct this enterprise, and now that
it is completed and in running order

them participate in this phase OF the
class struggle. In localities where
child labor is employed, efforts must
be made thru the distribution of the
Young Comrade to establish connec.

ization into nuclei will then be pos
sible and its realization will mean the
carrying OF our campaign by and
among the children themselves.

poor farmers by the govern
ment.
The anti-child labor program
of the Young Workers League
follows:
The child labor question is one that
l vitality concerns every young
worker in the country both as mem
Der of the working class and as an In
dividual. Child labor means that hun
dreds of thousands Of future prole-
tartan fighters are being driven into
slavery that will drain them of their
strength for the coming struggle

looks upon the children Of workers
and poor farmers as a convenient sup
ply Of cheap labor, to be exploited to
the utmost, and to be used as a means
for forcing down the wages Of adult
workers. It wants to train these chill
dren as the wage-slaves and cannon
fodder Of the future, and likes to get
its hands on them and break them
into submission at as early an age
as possible.
1t is of no concern to the capitalist
class if hundreds Of thousands of its
child slaves are sick and stunted and
ignorant and crippled in body and
mind. But we, who look upon the
proletarian youth as the builders OF
the new society, must unite all our
forces for the struggle against the
degradation and enslavement of the
children Of the American workers.

of series of speeches scheduled in
Illinois at the Chicago city club.
Meanwhile the Illinois manufacture
ers' association is spreading propa-
ganda openly advocating the employ
ing Of children in the factories.
Employers Want Cheap Labor.
In statement recently issued, Eric
e. Matchette, a manufacturer, has de-
clared that children should not be
taken out of industry, that they thrive
on it.
SIN all most every pamphlet / read
1 find the slogan Industry is never
justified in thriving on the children"
said Matchette. Let us grant this
argument its full force but bear in
mind that children are justified in
thriving on industry. And industry
should not be denied them"
Boasts Of Child Slavery.
George r. Meyer cord recently stat
ed, 81 am large employer Of labor
not only in Illinois but in several
other states. And many Of our en-
ployes are under eighteen years Of
age" The manufacturer frankly op-
poses abolition Of child labor be-
cause it will take his labor supply
away from him and make him pay
higher wages to adult workers.
John M. Glenn, editor Of the Manu-
facturers' News, and leader Of the I'LL
nois manufacturers association, has
organized the manufacturers for
united assault on the state assembly
at Springfield. Glenn urges the faL.
tory owners to bring pressure to bear
on the legislature and force them TO
defeat the ratification of the proposed
amendment empowering congress to
regulate and prohibit child labor.

at is our duty" declared Glenn to
the manufacturers, "To advise our
state legislators as to our wishes in
the matter, and II Is their duty to car
ry out our wishes. They are not plac
ed in the state capital to be kings
over us, independent Of our desires.
They are there to represent US. We
must advise them, by letter and tele.
phone and word of mouth that II is
our desire that the proposed twentieth
amendment be rejected and stay re-
jected. And we must hold them, each
state senator and state representa-
tive, personally accountable for their
VOTE"
Glenn made 1t quite plain why the
manufacturers are opposing ratiflca
ton Of the child labor amendment by
the Illinois assembly when he said
"The amendment Is a union labor
scheme being pushed for the purpose
OF reducing the number OF employees
in the factory on the farm and in com.
mercial houses so as to make labor
scarce and wages high" The Illinois
manufacturers are fighting the move
to abolish child labor because they
want to keep wages low and cheap la
