Meetings
By J. SALVADOR eIeANTI.

INDIFFERENCE to work in the
4 trade unions has pervaded some of
our party membership. No doubt, the
recent trade union campaign has done
much to overcome this nonchalance
on the part of our comrades. How
ever, it is only thru constant empha-
sis and a winning over of our mem
bership to theological agreement that
we can hope to attain our end. Not
only should comrades become active
in the organization of their trade, but
all possible encouragement must be
given them by the party for active par
ticipation in the struggles in the
unions.
Why is it that such extreme impor-
lance that we get into, and actively en-
gage in union work? The trade union
movement is the center of the organ
lied working class in this country
When we speak Of the labor move
ment, it is understood that we mean
the economic organizations Of the
workers, or the trade unions. The
other branches of the labor movement
in varying stages of development in
all the European countries, in the
United States play practically no de-
cisive role in the economic and polit-
ical life of the country.
The cooperative movement is neg
ligible and Yields absolutely no influ-
ence in the general labor movement.
While it is true that we find consid-
cradle sentiment for independent po-
litical action on the part of some sec
tions of the rank and file in the labor
movement, still this sentiment does
not yet find expression in the form
of a political organization.
The trade union movement is of
course very weak; it is preyed upon

by an arch-reactionary bureaucracy
which, in connivance with the Ameri-
can imperialists of which they are the
agents, conspire to emasculate the or
ganized labor movement. Company
unionism, which is not unionism at
all, but an eunuch form of organiza-
ton controlled body and soul by the
masters, whose purpose is solely to
increase the efficiency Of the workers.
and preserve the illusion that workers
have a voice in the management of
industry, is brot about by the union
smashing tactics of the bureaucracy.
Win the Unions for Conscious
Class Struggle.
From the above we may readily see
why it becomes extremely important
for Communists, the advance guard
of the working class to get into the
trade unions, build them up, permeate
them with a will to struggle and re-
sist the Entertainments of the capital
list class from within thru its paid lieu
tenants, and from without thru its
police and armed thugs. Nowhere
can we work with possibilities OF
greater success than in the trade
unions. All the party campaigns must
be brot to the trade unions.
The campaign for protection of for.
eign-born workers, the campaign for
a labor party and all the other major
and minor political campaigns of the
party must be launched and carried
thru in the organized labor movement
The campaign for world trade union
unity has at this stage of imperialist
expansion assumed unprecedented i'm.

Greetings to Trybuna
Robotnicza on Second
Anniversary Received

The Polish organ Of the Workers
(COmmunist) Party Trybuna Robot
nicza, celebrates its second anniver-
sary on March Z. In many towns and
cities thruout the country the occasion

The following greetings have been
received by Trybuna Robotnicza:
Greetings From Workers Party.
The Workers (Communist) Party
takes pride in greeting our Polish Off
cial organ, Trybuna Robotnicza, on
this, its second anniversary. While
the Polish landowners and bankers
have placed the necks Of the workers
and farmers in Poland under the iron
heel of French imperialism, the mil
lions of Polish workers in America are
exploited by American capitalists who
give money taken out of the labor of
the Polish workers in this country to
finance the white terror in Poland.
Against this combination of American
capitalists, French bankers and Polish

The Workers (Communist) Party
congratulates the Trybuna Robotnicza
on its second anniversary as the col
lective organizer and agitator among
the Polish masses in America and as
the loyal supporter Of our party and
the Communist International.
Long live the Trybuna Robotnicza!

Greetings From DAILY WORKER.
Greetings to our militant Commun-
list organ in the Polish language. It
Is the duty especially of all revolu-
tionary Polish workers in the United
States to increase their support Of It
so that the third anniversary may re-
gister an inspiring gain over the out
look Of our paper on its second an
niversary. II is especially gratifying
to note the enthusiasm with which
the worker correspondents are sup
porting our Polish Communist daily.

Work in the Trade Unions

The question of unity does not only
signify an obstacle to a new imper-
ialist war and an attack against the
Soviet Republic, but also a means to
combat wage slashes and general low
ering of the standards of living.
We find that in the United States,
the leading imperialist nation of the
world, this matter of unity is with
held from discussion by the workers.
1t is quite clear, therefore, why it be-
comes the imperative Communist duty
of our party membership to bring the
question before the organized working
class Of this country. The campaign
for trade union unity, both national
and international must be pushed en-
ergetically and systematically in the
trade unions.
1t is indisputable that the center of
our activities must be the trade
union movement. Every comrade
must join a union. All party trade
union fractions must be activized,
and must become well-knit co-ordin-
ated units for carrying on of party
policies in the union. Every member
of the party must become a member
of and an active supporter of the
Trade Union Educational League,
which represents the left wing or the
minority movement within the Amer
lean labor movement.
The remarkable victories won by
the left wing recently in the needle
trades point out to us what might be
achieved if our comrades would all
give their whole hearted support to
this phase of party activity. No
fiinching therefore; the task is set;
the path is clear. The c. /. slogan,
Unto the Trade Unions" must be car
ried out persistently and relentlessly,
until each comrade is convinced of the
necessity for engaging in this work.
The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1926-03-05

This surely assures it's success for the
future. Long live Trybuna Robot
nicza!
With Communist greetings,
The DAILY WORKER,
j. Louis Engdahl, Editor.
Greetings were also received from
the Polish Workers Club of Moscow,
the Polish section of the All-Union
Communist Party of Leningrad and
the Toilers' Educational Association
OF Moscow.
The only Communist daily in the
Polish language Mot (The Hammer)
published in Minsk, Soviet White Rus

movement also sent warm greetings.

the farm. organizations for the pur-
posA. for instance. of organizing farm
er-labor parties, but whenever deter
lnineu acuon IS taken in this respect
things usually begin to happen for the
reason that our ideas succeed in pene-
trating the farming masses and thus
laying basis for organization.
We must get away from the idea
that we cannot do anything because
we are few now and rid our minds
completely from the fear of moving
against the capitalists, and also, so
to-speak, against the inert working
and farming masses. We must go
forward propagating powerful ideas
that can and viii sink deep into the
mass mind.

Trumbull Tour to Cover
Every Important Town

The response from workers every
where to the announcement of the
freeing of Walter Trumbull, sentenced
to military prison together with Paul
Crouch, for attempting to fight the
battles of labor on the Hawaiian is
lands has become so great, that the

in charge of the touring of Trumbul
now announces that his speaking
dates have been extended so that he
will cover every important city from
Los Angeles on the Pacific coast to
Boston and New York onrthe Atlantic
and back to San Francisco.
Trumbull, whose case is unique in
American labor annals in that he
and Crouch are the first soldiers to be
arrested for having organized Commu-
mist propaganda within the American
army has already had highly success

Party Fractions in the Unions

the sooner we jump into this work
with both feet, the better.
The policy Of the party to carry on
an energetic campaign for the pur-
pose of having all comrades who can
aad should do so, join the trade
unions, is correct policy.
Frequently our members are averse
to, or do not see the practical need Of
participating actively in workers and
farmers organizations because they
are hopelessly in the minority. This
attitude is wrong.
We have had some little experience
in this work out here on the prairies
among the farmers. 1t is very difficult
to get our members and party sym
pathizers to fight energetically within

THE work in the trade unions is of
L the greatest Importance for our
party. 1t is difficult to see how we
ever will be able to win over the
masses of city industrial workers for
the cause of the revolution unless
Workers Party fractions are syste-
matically and plentifully organized
within the trade unions. This work is
absolutely a necessary prerequisite to
a successful crushing of the capitalist

EDUCATORS
WAR ON
BILL

Eminent educators, including
Presidents A. Lawrence Lowell,
of Harvard; James R. Angel, of
Yale, and Frank r. Goodnow, of
Johns Hopkins, today took sharp
issue with the majority of their
professional associates by oppos-
ing the Reed Hyson-Curtis bill
creating a Federal department
of education, at the hearing held
by the Senate Education and
Labor Committee.
Attitude Is Unexpected
The stand taken by these univers-
ity presidents was entirely unex-
pected by the committee, which
yesterday heard some OF the most
distinguished delegates to the Ma
tional Education Association con-
vention endorse the measure.
The university men sent tele-
grams to the committee briefly an
nouncing their opposition to q ma
tional department of education on
the grounds that it would create
a new bureaucracy which would
aim to standardize our educational
methods in the United States
j. G. Machen, a professor in
Princeton Theological Seminary, op-
posed the bill on the ground that
it would constitute an infringement
Of academic freedom, and ultimately
would lead to bureaucratic control
of the colleges and universities.
The division of opinion among
leading educators on the merits of
the long-standing proposal probably
will mean that the measure will not
be reported favoraby at the current
session Of Congress.
Hitherto 1t has been generally be-
lieved that the great bulk Of educa-
tional opinion was in favor of it,
but the opposition appears to be
stronger than it has been in the
mast

NEW OVERHEAD BRIDGE
FOUGHT BY BROOKLAND

A group of citizens from Brook
land and attorneys for the Balti-

day appeared before the Senate
District subcommittee to protest
the elimination of the grade cross
ing of Michigan avenue on the b.
and 0 tracks and the construction
of an overhead bridge at that point.
Lieut. Col. J. Franklin Bell, En-
gineer Commissioner Of the District
and Maj. Raymond Wheeler, as
sistant Engineer Commissioner, APP
peared before the committee to pre-
sent their plans for the construc-
ton of the viaduct to eliminate
what they call the most dangerous
existing grade crossing in the Dis
trict of Columbia.
The objections urged by Brook.
land citizens were chiefly on the
score of damage to nearby property.
Attorneys for the B. and o. argued
various technical legal phases of the
matter, particularly with regard to
the provision of the law which re-
quires the railroad to bear one-haR
of the expense involved in building

LAUREL SHAKEN
BY CLEAN UP

Mecca Of Washington, Baltimore
and Philadelphia race-track habitues,
Laurel. Nd, is slated for moral
housekeeping.
A vigorous campaign against
bootlegging, disorderly conduct on
the city's main street, and gam
bling has created a furore in the
picturesque little town.
Charges and countcr-charges are
being made, and the erstwhile
somnolent air of the town Is sur
charged with hjgh-voltage tension.
1t all happened because William
H. Anglin, known throughout south
ern Maryland as the Fighting Ed
tor" turned loose his editorial Big
Berthas" against alleged immoral
conditions through the columns OF
his Laurel Democrat.
He declared it was unsafe for
women and children to walk on
LaurePs main street on Saturdays
and Sundays.
