BY CORA WILSON STEWART.
Director OF the National Crusade Against
nliteracy.


When 100000 young men had to
make their mark for their signatures
to the draft roll, at the beginning OF
the war, the country was aroused
The fact that a war to make the
world safe for democracy" was be.
ing fought. as far as We were con-
cerned by an Army containing so
many thousands Of soldiers who were
unable to read or write seemed unbe.
lievable. But that fact, in all its
grimness, stood as an indictment
against the American democracy and
became a powerful factor in the
movement to stamp out illiteracy.
Crusade Organized.
Today there are 5000 900 men and
women in the country who can only
make a mark for their names. That
vast number is being steadily re-
duced. And now a national crusade
has been organized TO stir up the
100, ,000, 900 who can read and
write to blot out illiteracy by 1880.
In the present year four States ex-
pect to be reclaimed-Nermont, North
Dakota, Delaware and Oklahoma.
Fifteen years ago nobody thought
illiteracy could be wiped out Of any
given locality. Those who thought OF
illiteracy at all considered 1t an ir.
remediable thing. Illiteracy condi.
tions had not been uncovered. The
figures had not come to stand in the
public mind for what they really are
wasted intellect and blighted human
beings. Few cared about the Hitter
ates or realized their power to hamper
the community. State and Nation.
The awakening came about 1910 in
the South. where illiteracy was preva.
lent. Kentucky, quickly followed by
Alabama, North Carolina. South Caro-
line, Georgia, Mississippi and Arkan-
sss, started the uprising and 1t
spread from State to state. Then
came the draft of June, 1917, with its
tragic revelation. The figures were
startling enough, but the situation
would have been more tragi& had 1t
not found a background Of experience
in the way Of experts. trained teach
ers and suitable texts ready to
meet 1t.
Movement Spread Steadily.
The movement has steadily gath
cred momentum, until school officials
who once looked on to scoff are now
proud to help in the territory in
which they are responsible for the
schools. And recently there was or
ganized the National Illiteracy Cru
sade with headquarters in the Ameri-

which it has to cope, but what / do

the Russian government in the affairs
Of other peoples and in those of our
workers"
1t is a good thing that Jouhaux after
all excuses" the October revolution,
for | do not know what we should do
If he did not, but a thing which he
cannot digest is interference in the
affairs of other peoples. When the
French bourgeoisie lays down the law
in Morocco, Syria and in Germany,
going to the length of occupying the
Ruhr, he was not very aggrieved, but
when the Soviet government gives
support to all the oppressed peoples,
this arouses the wrath of Citizen Jou-
haux and he. cannot excuse it! This
would be terrible if it were not so
ridiculous.
But this fierce opposition to unity
could not but evoke protests within
the reformist Confederation Of Labor
itself. Although it was a packed con-
gress, and although the delegates had
been carefully primed, there were lis
trade unions which voted against the
official resolution and for unity. At
the congress 10 per cent of the votes
were for unity, but this does not mean
that only 10 per cent of the member
ship of the reformist unions hold this
view. The workers congresses held
thruout France attracted consider
able number of workers belonging to
reformist unions. The opposition at
the congress was badly organized and
not sufficiently shaped ideologically:
nevertheless it caused many heart
burnings among the reformist bosses
Of the congress. The most prominent
representatives of the right wing of
the Amsterdam International had been
invited to the congress with a view to
exercising the maximum pressure on
the delegates and stressing the cor
rectness of the reformist policy. Here
the flower Of everything that is most
reactionary in the Amsterdam Inter
national assembled and the peroration
of all the representatives was, of
course, in the spirit Of those OF Jou-
haux and Co. That this was a mani
festation of the right Amsterdam tend
ency was shown by the absence from
this congress Of representatives from
Great Britain.
One must be very naive to imagine
that 1t was only by chance that the
General Council of the British Trade
Unions did not send a representative
to the congress of the reformist Con.
federation of Labor. No, this was a
political demonstration, directed
against the right wing Of the Amster-
dam International OF which Jouhaux
is the most prominent representative.
The right wing OF the Amsterdam In.

an earnest tendency intent on putting
an end to the split, in spite Of machin.
ations and maneuvers on the part of
supporters of the French government
of the type Of Jouhaux.
If one compares both these congress
ses which have taken place, the ex-
tent to which reformism is weakening
the labor movement becomes patent.
Complimentary reports on the reform
ist congress appeared in the entire re-
dictionary press which emphasized the
good intentions, the common sense,
the statesmenlike mind and other
virtues of the leaders of the reformist
Confederation of Labor. In quite an
other strain were the reports of the
congress Of the unity trade unions.
A Step Forward.
The divergence Of opinion between
the two congresses was not only with
respect to questions of unity and war
Even with respect to the practical
questions now confronting the labor
movement in France there was a gulf
between the reformist and the revolu-
tionary considerations. The unity
unions brought forward the idea Of the
payment of wages in gold francs. This
demand met not only with the fierce
resistance of the bourgeoisie, but also
with a strictly negative attitude on the
part of the reformist congress. And
yet it would seem that the ICES ques-
ton is a question on which it should
be possible to come to an agreement
The unity congress discussed the ques.
tion of strike strategy. The discussion
concentrated on the strategy of the
struggle, with mass actions, whilst the

Frank Harrington has no program,

Taxation Without Representation.
Harrington states the Progressive
Miner is only another name for The
DAILY WORKER. Again he lies. The
Progressive Miner is the exclusive
property of the progressive miners,
and was launched, and is kept up by
voluntary subscriptions. That is more
than harrington can say about the
Illinois Miner. The coal digging slaves
are assessed one dollar per year with
ont their consent, to keep up the yell

published in his own behalf
Notice the paper of the Harrington
machine. Farrington's name appears
on every page, and his picture adorns

Harrington can be seen sitting in his
private Office at any time Of the day
gazing at his picture, and many miners
know that is one of the reasons that
Frank has no time to give to the hell

miners in Illinois.
Without Franks Approval.
Frank states that there is no consti-

the progressive miners. The Wall
Street Journal says the same. Frank
Harrington donated quite a few dollars
to the progressive miners a short time
ago, when he thought he could use
that body of men to support him, and
his ambitions" but when the honest
miners refused to be the cats paw OF

a vengence, and has kept up vicious
and cowardly attack on the miners
ever since. He has expelled many
miners from the organization, and aid

Frank Squaks.
| Harrington states that it is illegal
for miners to subscribe to the Pro
gressive Miner. Again he lies. There
is no law in the miners union, or in
America, that can stop the miners
from subscribing to their own paper
or to any other paper Frank does moi
