ONE of the most repulsive features
" of decadent capitalism is its Ell
fort to harmonic the prejudices oil
all the divergent elements OF society
In the South, where the small bour-
geoisie wage a bigoted fight against
the introduction Of even the most eie-
mentary facts of modern science, so
essential to heavy industry, the teach
ing Of the facts regarding mans blood
relationship to the anthropoid apes
is prohibited, in some places by legis-
latiye enactment, in others by decree
of school authorities.
In the state of Texas the state text
book commission has a subcommittee
on modification of textbooks on bio
logy." This. committee has been able
to influence in a most disgracerul
manner the publishers Of books out
side the state. 1t was recently an
nounced that the publishing house OF
Henry Holt G. Co., Of New York, has
omitted three chapters from the edi-
ton of Moons Biology for Begin
ners." sent to Texas. Allyn & Bacon
Of Boston announce that they have
not had to change their textbooks to
suit the prejudices of the Texas ig-
noramuses because their publications

Pandering in Ignorance

are "tactfully written" (meaning per-
verified to comply with fundamentals
religion). Even the Macmillan COM
pany confesses that it has been forced
to make changes in one of its pub
LEGATIONS dealing with "Healthful Liv-
ing" because of a reference to evolu-
ton. The author, one Jessie Feiren
Williams, suppliantly consented to the
change.
Thus, by their repulsive pandering
to ignorance and prejudice, the school
children, unfortunate enough to live
in Texas, will be taught one thing,
while other school children will be
taught another, out of what are sup
posedly the same textbooks.
Certainly this deplorable condition
Of affairs cannot go unchecked. The
right of bigots to pollute the minds
Of children must be combated by in
tense agitation and education on the
part of the revolutionary workers.
Popular leaflets dealing with the fun

tributed among the children living il

To say the least of it, strange con-
iession! The strike is being contin-
ued and fight is being made against
wage cuts and the lengthening of the
working day, so what can be the sense
of making such statements smacking
so strongly of capitulation? Won't the
coaF owners take this statement as
denoting the beginning of surrender
Of course, they will. These are the
first Favorable" results of the united
front" between the leaders Of the gen
eral council and the Miners Fedora
ton of Great Britain.
WHAT is happening now in connec-
w ton with the miners strike is
deserving of the utmost attention. A
recapitulation of what both parties are
to gain will show at glance what
this agreement between the general
council and the miners executive is
really like. The general council in the
person of Thomas & Co. is to get:
/. The oblivion of the past.
2. A stop to polemics.
8. A consolidation of its own
authority.
The miners executive gets:
1. A promise of support.
2. Mediation.
8. Herbert Samuels memorandum
in new guise.
Yes, but what about the millions of
workers who were led up the wrong
street by the general council-what
are they going to get as the result
Iof this little deal? Nothing, absolutely
nothing, save and except a fresh
swindle.
What, finally, are the 100000
miners who have already been out
weeks going to get? Thanks to these
maneuvers, all they stand to gain is
fresh Black Friday. That is about
the size of the united front between
the leaders, entirely directed as it is
against the whole working class OF
Great Britain and not merely the
miners alone.

BY a Food Worker.

TT is we'll known that the most ex-
plotted group, struggling under the
worst conditions, are the food work
ars in America today, and especially
the Greek food workers working in the
Greek restaurants and lunch rooms.
They work IL and IA hours day in
lie fioored dining rooms, and stuffy
Kitchens without day off. Their pay
mounts to from S12 to .$24 week on
he average and most of them get
paid by the month.
Most of them are 1at-footed from
the long hours that they stand on
their feet. Others are suffering from
kidney trouble which is a common
sickness among the restaurant, hotel
and cafeteria workers.
CONSUMPTION also is one Of the
~ foremost diseases that thrives
among the weak-bodied food workers
turnout the country.
1t is written law in the statute
books that all food workers carry
health card to be shown to the health
inspectors and these inspectors are
supposed to inspect the public eating
places. But the bosses see to it that
no place is inspected and if it is in
spected the inspector does not work
against the interests of the bosses in
any way whatsoever
The unorganized Greek food work
ers are revolving against these hor-
rible conditions and a. big fermenta-
ton is going on right now among the
lunch room and cafeteria wrkers thru
out the country. u)8
THE Newark IN. j. bunch Room and
Cafeteria workers are among the
first to revolt against these conditions.
They organized themselves into what
is known as A Greek Workers Restau-
rant Club, without any assistance from
any union. This clubs membership
amounts to $50 workers. members in
good standing. Soon after they were
organized they were forced by the
bosses to go on strike.
The bosses were ready for the fight
and that is why they provoked the
strike by firing all workers who were
suspected OF belonging to the newly
formed union. AS soon as the union
pulled out its men and picketed the
places. the bosses obtained injunctlons
almost as quick as you could get a
Icup Of coffee from the counter
IMoRE than twenty injunctions
A'A already have been issued by the
Judges OF Newark against the strik
ing Greek food workers.
| Notwithstanding these immense DIFF
nculties, without any financial support
from any source whatsoever, these
food workers without any Union ex
perience have fought valiantly for The
last four months and their ranks arr
getting stronger and stronger ever!

which goes into effect this month an,
which allows lawful picketing, :,

Tammany's Uniformed Scab Herders

Most of the subway strikers are
Irish, which indicates that heretofore
they have permitted themselves to be
herded to the polls in support of Tam
many. This strike ought to teach all
of them. and undoubtedly will teach
many, that the sleek, hand-shaking,

ers are their enemies, the agents of
the trust. From now on many Of these
workers can be convinced that their
interests will be best served by labor
ticket in New York.
New York, under control of labor
administration today, would help as
sure the victory of the strikers. If
extra police are needed, the workers
administration could use the strikers
themselves for this purpose. A labor
government of the city could arrest as
criminals and Migrants any imported
scabs and could emphatically tell
Hedley, Quackenbusch and Connolly
that if they cannot run the traction
lines and pay decent wages to the
workers who are entrusted with the
lives of millions of workers, the city
win run them.

Against the mine owners?
But then why did they ever break
it?
Maybe they have taken heart of
grace and do really want to come to
the defense of the miners now?
Why don't they say so then?
The general council has given the
miners a vague promise about raising
the question of stopping the transport
Of coal. But what does the council
demand from this promise? Accord
ing to Cooks words, the council asks
the Miners Federation of Great Brit
ain to let bygones be bygones IN face
Of the serious threat to the entire la
Dor movement.
NTTE see that the general council de-
w mands a great deal in return for
its promises pledging it to nothing. To
let bygones be bygones means to for
get the betrayal of the 18th of May.
Why must the miners forget Vel
low Wednesday?
What Will they get Tor Sucn an all
round striving?
Renewal of the general strike? No!

All the miners will get is the sight
of the general council again inter
fering in their strike. And if these
bankrupts and capitulants take hand
in the game what is likely to result
They will seek for compromise, seek
for an understanding at any price
there will be a fresh wiping of the
feet on the mat at 10 Downing street
more pitiful words, and in the upsho
they will slapdash and whitewash

WITH THE STAFF
Being Things From Here and
There Which Have Inspired
Us to Folly or Frenzy
WE'RE FOR A MUSEUM

We have received a program
put out by cur dearly beloved gov
eminent for it's Industrial Acct
dent Prevention Conference" held
at Washington. From dispatches
it seems that the chief problem
discussed was how to get as much
profit as possible, without adding
to the present number of $4,000
workers killed each year in indus
try, So per cent of which are pre-
ventable, and the injury of $500,
900 yearly. The discussions pro-
ceeded on the same lines as a
company union meeting.
Everybody present seemed to
have an axe to grind. The insur-
ance companies perhaps were the
most hopeful ones represented.
The Edison Lamp Works had it's
man there to talk on "Improved
Lighting as a Factor in Accident
Prevention" But the funniest
lecture was scheduled as follows
-"Should There Be National
Safety Museum BY Louis Res
nick, American Museum of Safe
| ty."

again picket and this will mean sure
victory for the picketing was very eff
fectiye because this lunch room and
cafeteria is patronized by the organ
lied workers of Newark who showed
splendid solidarity by boycotting the
picketed place.
The union issued a call to organ
lied labor for financial aid for they
have many pending cases in the courts
of Newark and their treasury is very
lean.
Every worker should help financi-
ally these workers for their victory

the unorganized food industry thru

be possible to get an explanation from
British justice:
British courts today are sentencing
workers to imprisonment for criticiz-
ing the general council. So you see
the defense of the general councils
chastity and innocenee"lis in the, if
not particularly chaste: still power
full enough hands of the "non-cIass"
British courts. 49,,
A MOST alarming symptom from
a the viewpoint of the fate of the
British strike is that these transpar-
ent maneuvers of the general council,
which are plainly to the detriment of
the miners, have, unfortunately, met
with support and sympathy in the
miners executive. In Cooks opinion,
the postponement of the conference
of executives is to be put down to the
desire to throw up united front of
the trade union movement to beat off
the attacks on Soviet Russia
We do not think so.
THE struggle against the attacks on
4 the U. S. S. R. may be fought
along with the attacks on the gen.
eral councils betrayal. To defend the
U. s. S. R. from attack there is nc
need whatsoever for an amnesty and
exoneration of the traitors and ca
pitulators on the general council. But
just let Cook speak for himself and
tell us what he thinks is the head and
front of the question:
