Plan to Rally Membership.
The committee authorized a state
ment to be made public as an answer
to a statement issued by the Interna-
tional Union officialdom, in which the
strike leadership was condemned and
the international declared its willing
ness to take over the strike and set
tie on the basis of the report of the
governors commission, a move that
constituted all during the strike one
Of the bones Of contention with the
bosses.
Mass meetings of the members will
be held during the week to expose the
betrayal Of the strike by the right

movement at large that the general
strike committee and the New York
Joint Board have first place in the
estimation of the rank and file of the
union over the reactionary interna-

a WARNING


school. This incident is III warning
and pretty bitter one toythose com
placent workers who think that be-
cause they understand things" be-
cause they are revolutionary or class
conscious, therefore their children will
grow up that way more OF less as a
matter of course. No error could be
more DISASTROUS! Home training, no
matter how well intentioned, cannot in
the nature of the case be sufficient.
A sympathetic, well-planned, large
scale campaign carried on by people
who are thoroly acquainted with the
task and devote themselves entirely to
1t is the only thing that can meet
with any hope of success, the very
conscious and well-organized attacks
Of the bourgeoisie on the children of
our class; such campaign Is the only
thing that can really win the working
class children for the working class
and enroll them in the class struggle.
The Pioneer Movement.
Such campaign, such work is
carried on by the Pioneer movement
in this country. This movement of
working class children organized into
the>Young Pioneers OF America, under
the guidance OF the Young Workers
Communist League, has made some
remarkable progress since it was start
ed a few years ago and even in the
last year. It has already shown its
effectiveness as a fighting organiza-
ton for the souls of the proletarian
children. Fortunately, the boy who
wrote the above mentioned compost
ton is now a Pioneer and it will not
take many months before he will look
back upon this piece Of work with as
constituent and disgust.
IT'S Up to You.
But the success Of the Young Pion-
eer movement depends in the last re-
sort upon the support given to 1t by
the broad masses Of the American
workers, especially by the advanced
sections, the class-conscious and revo-
lutionary workers. It's up to you!
This story should be a warning to you.
1t should awaken you. Do you want
your children, do you want any work
ing. class children to become mere clay
In the hands Of the bosses and the
priests to be nodded into renegades
who will despise you and your ideals
and the entire proletarian struggle?
The only effective way to answer mo"
to this question is by throwing all
your forces into the support OF the
Pioneer movement. Are you ready?

Weishord VIII Tell
Chicago Workers of
Great Passaic Strike

With the first break in the ranks
Of the textile mill barons. the Passaic
strike is again assuming added import
ance. For almost eleven months these
heroic workers have continued their
battle and now the first partial victory
has been won. One of the mills has
signed, recognizing the union.
Albert Weisbord, the youthful strike
leader, is now touring the country
telling the story of the strike. He has
already lectured in a number of cities
10 large audiences, making clear the
strategy pursued in this brilliantly
fought strike. bringing out the details
OF the tactics with which the bosses
we're met, showing how the strike is
being fought under present conditions
Of modern industry and also explain
ing the position taken by the local
government of Passaic in its many
ruthless attempts to crush the strike
with the support OF the state and ma
tional government.
No strike in modern history con
tains as many valuable lessons as this
one. To make these lessons clear to
the workers. the tour Of AllSrt Weis.
bord has been organized. He will
speak in Chicago, Thursday, Dec. 16
at p. m. at Mirror Hall, 1895 North
Western Ave. It should be a special
occasion for the Chicago workers to
learn first hand the valuable lessons
OF this strike. This lecture is given
by weisbord under auspices OF the
Workers Party, District 8. Admission
is 20 cents.
On Thanksgiving eve, Weisbord
spoke TO a large and enthusiastic au-
dience at Syracuse, New York. where
be emphasized that prejudices 80
aGroitly inculcated by the capitalists

under the common interests that
hard-fought strike developed.

Commissioners of
Elections Abdicate
In Favor of Courts

The board of election commission
ers, after hearing evidence and adj
hitting that there were strong pre-
sumptions of fraud. has decided that
1t is without jurisdiction in the mat
ter and must accept the returns made
by the judges of elections, thus re-
ducing their own status to that OF an
adding machine. The aggrieved con-
testants, such as Martin j. O'Brien,
democrat, who claims that he was
counted out OF the Office of county
treasurer by George F. Harding, re.
publican, can get satisfaction only
from the courts in an election con-
test duly begun.
AS a result an election certificate
will be issued to Harding and he will
be sworn into Office Monday.

ARE
SURE THAT ware
WILL Be 0USTED
Cast About Now for His
Successor"

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Dec. g.
Pennsylvania politicians are becom-
ing convinced that William s. Ware,
senator-elect, will not be seated by the
senate. With this conviction they are
now looking about for a man to have
the governor-elect, John s. Fisher,
name in Vare's place.
Name MilIlonaires.
Two millionaires are being mention
ed more than others for the post.
They are James Elverson, publishers
of the Philadelphia Inquirer, and Will
liam C. Sproul, friedrich manufac-
turer.
The politicians are certain now that
the revelations Of corruption in the
primary and election will cause the
senate to follow the precedent in the
Newberry case and GUST Ware.
Investigation Hampered.
Private Investigations are still being
conducted in the election. But there
is no way at present, according to
Pennsylvania laws, that a public probe
into election frauds dealing with
registration padding and ballot-stuf-
ing can be conducted. The senate can
authorize an investigation, but the
senate ON elections does not meet for
year, and all evidence will be des-
troyed by that time. Sen. Reeds COM
mittee is empowered to Investigate
only slush funds and cannot delve In
to ballot Irregularities.
The registration commission can
act, but to act 1t must have definite
proof of illegality before the court
will order ballot boxes to be opened.
weighed" Votes.
1t is a common expression here that
they didn't count the votes; they
weighed them" Evidence of fraud is
also seen in the fact that in 80 cleo
ton districts not single vote was
counted for Wilson, Vare's opponent.
In each of 397 other districts. Wilson
received less than 10 votes each.

WARNS CONGRESS
ON MONOPOLY OF
AIR FOR RADIOS
Federation to Fight Pro-
perty Rights

Property rights in the air should be
vigorously avoided in any radio legis
lation to be adopted by congress, but
the present confusion in broadcasting
should be unsnarled and the legitimate
interests of both broadcasters and lis
teners protected.
This is the position taken by the
Chicago Federation of Labor, owner OF
VIGIL, in an open letter sent to all
members of congress and also adj
dressed to the judiciary, the press and
the radio public.
Sees Monopoly.
Both the White bill, passed by the
house at the last session, and the Dill
bill, passed by the senate, have pro-
visions that "aim to make of radio the
same sort of monopoly as our present
telephone system" says Secretary e.
N. Nockels, who signs the open letter
in behalf Of the federation.
Would ChIoroform Public.
1.-THE radio public must see the hand
of the money barons working thru the
big advertisers controlling newspapers
and magazines. The great newspa-
pers, such as the Chicago Tribune, are
heavily interested in broadcast sta
tions and are trying to consolidate
their gains by buying small stations
and establishing presidents in injunc-
tons to obtain final monopoly. A de-
termined effort is being made to chic
reform the public while this steal is
taking place and other methods be-
sides publicity in newspapers and
magazines are being employed" it
charges.
Hide Real Intention.
These methods, the federation as
serts, consist in forming fake organi-
cations both OF broadcasters and lis
teners, which pretend to speak with
authority for the radio stations and
the radio public. In reality number
Of them are 'ill-concealed tools OF the
radio trust" Nockels declares.
Behind a smoke screen OF misrep-
resentation, questionable affidavits
and intrigue a monopolistic octopus
in the name OF radio is taking FORM"
is the labor broadcast stations warn
ing to the radio public.

The removal Of Tho DAILY WORKER to New York
City makes more Important than ever the carrying
Of the Keep The DAILY WORKER campaign to
eessful conclusion.
The removal Of The DAILY WORKER to New York
City gives the party stronger guarantee that with tho
successful completion Of the campaign tho $4,000

assured that The DAILY WORKER will continue TO

The work Of completing the $4,000 Keep The DAILY
WORKER Fund must, therefore, be taken up with new
energy by the whole party. The New York District,
which was given quota Of $4,000 to raise to Keep
The DAILY WORKER, must raise its quota to $4,000,
the Boston District the Philadelphia District and the
Pittsburgh and Cleveland Districts must redoube their
energies raise their quotas of the Keep The DAILY

quotas, but should do Chicago, Minneapolis
and the districts show that they sup

of the party and go forward to the 10000 mark.
The Central Committee feels confident that this
nouncement of the moving Of The DAILY WORKER TO

the whole party because it gives greater guarantee
to the party that the hard work and sacrifices for
