Music SPEAKS
ON EDUCATION
AT N. Y. SCHOOL
Especial to The Daily worker)

NEW YORK, Dec. ia. J. Music,
director of Brookwood Labor College,
spoke at the Workers School, 1OS
East 14th street, Friday night, on
the Gains of Workers Education" in
the series of Friday night lectures on
American labor problems.
The question of whether workers
education should be general culture
or education for the class struggle
or little of both; whether the edu-
cation should be only practical" in
that 1t prepares for direct practical
services in the trade unions in the
way of keeping records, organizing,
ETC., or whether it should also be
theoretical" in the sense that it
trains for the longer range fight and
bigger perspectives of the revolution
airy working class, and the whole
question of the relation of the daily
struggle to the revolutionary aims OF
the workers is involved in this prob
lem. Some controversy is expected
because the views of many in the
audience will be different from those
of Music.
The next lecture will be given on
Jan. 3 and will be by William 2. Eos
ter on Strike Strategy"

Young Workers Trim
Yeman Athletes, ZIG
BY JOHN WELcHNER

DETROIT, Mich, Dec. 16 - In a
loosely played basketball game, the
Young Workers Sport Alliance easily
trimmed the Yemans Athletic Club
81 to 6. Both clubs are affiliated with
the Labor Sports Union. The Y. w.
S. A. drew first blood, scoring four
points and from then on the final out
come was never in doubt.
Being the first game Of the season
for both teams, the playing lacked
color and there is sufficient room left
for improvement. The Yemans were
inferior in every department Of play
being able to penetrate the strong de-
tense of the Y. w. S. A. successfully
on only two occasions, while the Sport
Alliance broke thru at will but missed
many easy attempts to score.
The VAC had no outstanding stars
for they used the passing game. Their
attack was centered around Weber
who accounted for half of the Sport
Alliances points. Mezuk, the right
forward was best for the losers, scor-
ing all six of Yemans' points.

MINNESOTAN TELLS OF NEED TO
ORGANIZE FARMERS AND WORKERS
IN WASHINGTON COUNTY, MINNESOTA

The county gave u. S. Senator Ship
sted a majority when he ran. AS
nearly as l can learn, the party has
no regular organization in this coun-
ty. At the last November election,
the local labor forces did some work
for worker who ran for mayor Of
saltwater. They also supported re-
publican postmaster who ran for state
senator. Both were defeated three to
one. 1t Is at least a start.
A delegation Of union men came
here from st. Paul. arranged for and
held public meeting, for the Ftp.
state ticket last November. The state
ticket was defeated in this county two
to one. The democrats came third.
Township Organization Needed.
No doubt If we had had a Farmer
Labor party organization in every
township in the county, the vote
would have been $3.50. There are
great many poor farmers, renters,
poor workers, in this county and they
are looking for some party to lead
them The rich farmers and mer-
chants with big biz are all in the G.
o. P.
Here are the words of an old-time
dirt farmer:
Il have been in the old Grange, the
Farmers Alliance, the Peoples Party,
the Populist Party, and the Non-Parti-
son League.
1--WE got few reforms, such as the
rural free delivery, parcel post, post
al savings banks, and then we were
let down and sold out.
I'VE are willing to learn, and if
some organization will come and
teach us how to do away with the cap
italist profit system that is robbing
us, we are with them"
To sum up: In Washington coun-
ty, with an organization, we elected a
state senator and helped to elect
.. S. senator. Without organization.
we have not elected single candi-
date and we have lost ground.

BY A Farmer Correspondent.

SALTWATER, Mimi, Dec. 16,-In
order to get the background to this
subject, we must say a word about
the Non-partisan League under Town
ley. It organized Washington county
and did good job of it. With that
organization, we elected w. w. Will
cox to the state senate from this
county That shows what organiza-
ton can do.
The old guard G. O. P. flooded the
county with money, ordered new
election, and threw out our N. P. L.
senator. Money always buys some
people. 1t did in this case, from the
state house to the saloon bum. The
old guard G. o. P. will do this just as
long as they have the power and the
money.
Bucked by the Press.
During this campaign we found that
the old line papers would not publish
our paid advertisements. So we de-
cided to have our own weekly paper.
Here is where we fell down. The pa
per company was organized, sold
some $4,000 in stock, borrowed about
the same amount, and started the
Washington County Post. The bank
ers, big business, rich farmers, and
wealthy merchants had us tied up
from the start. We are still tied up,
sold out, and some five directors and
officers are in the hole $1,000 each.
They and their friends are not boost
ers for the N. P. L. or the Farmer
Labor Party.
Then Came Van Lear.
About this time, the Minnesota
Daily Star and Van Lear came along
and sold stock and notes. Some of
the best friends and workers in the
league and the Farmer-Labor Party
invested. They got a lemon. These
friends are not boosting for the party
at this time.
This, has been the experience of
many other counties in the Northwest
and may account for the defeat of
Magnus Johnson for governor last No
vember.
Here is how we fell down. We
wanted men of prestige and money
rich farmers at the head of things,
both in the league and the paper. We
got them, all right, and they now have
US.
What We Might Have Done.
We could have started a small pa
per with say $4,000 and had it clear,
no debt, no interest charge. This
would not do; the rich farmers want
ed something big, with big editor
from the city at the head of it. We
got both, to our sorrow. We were
also compelled to chase after the big
merchant for advertising.
We were and still are unable to find
an editor who will be loyal to the
cause under these circumstances.
This brings US to the Farmer-Labor
movement.
