Evading the Issue---As Usual

knows" in answer to the question,
What must worker do when he is
hungry, has no job, and is willing to
work." But this did not solve the
hunger problem. And the slogan rails
ed by the editor of the Advance, God
Save Radicahsm from the Radicals"
does not answer the question, when
all unions are in favor of amalgama-
ton what must the honest-to-goodness
radicals do to help to bring it about?"
Hillman says that all the Amalga-
mated can do, under the circumstance
es, is ito state again as clearly as
possible that we in the Amalgamated
stand by our position for one organ
ization in the needle trades" This is
pure demagogy.
If this policy of merely beating
ones breast and proclaiming, 81 am
for amalgamation" is pursued by all
the unions in the needle trades, who.
like the Amalgamated, are on record
for amalgamation, then Of course,
amalgamation will never come about.
have purposely taken up the ques-
ton of amalgamation, because on
amalgamation depends greatly the
winning of many Of the everyday de-
mands of the workers. The further
advancement Of the needle trades
workers as a whole depends upon the
qualification of their ranks through
amalgamation into one Industrial
union.
The theological struggle for ANAL
gamation in the needle trades unions
has been successful The next step
is organizational. The proposal OF
the left wing, namely, to call an Anal
gamation conference at which plans
shall be drawn up for an Amalgama-
ton convention, is the only practical
method by which this objective can
be reached.
The Hiaman administration has the
wonderful opportunity to lead the
amalgamation movement into being.
If they do not take this lead, it may
hinder but it will not stop amalga-
nation. The rank and file in all the
unions understand pretty well what it
means to them, and they will lind
ways and means of bringing the neces-
sary pressure, that will in the near
future bring into being one union COW
ering the clothing industry, and they
will leave the editor of the Advance
and God to save radicalism from the
radicals.

Proletarian Art

penetrate the picture of dark despair
with a million candlepower light that
gives off courage and leads to heroic
struggle.
Included in the collection are some
of the best works of the two old vet
erans-Robt. Minor and Art Young.
These artists have l'1ilt for them
selves world regulations. Wherever
working-class journals are published
their work is revered.
Then there is the younger group
who began their training in the old
MASSES" days: Hugo Gellert, VII
liam Chopper, Maurice Becker, Lydia
Gibson, Adolph Dehn and Give Wood.
Fred Ellis, in the comparatively
few years his work has been before
the readers of worker publications, has
carved a solid place for himself by
the forcefuIness and skilled draughts-
manship Of his cartoons. Many OF
the drawings in the book are repro
auctions Of his excellent drylbrush
work.
New names are here: VIM. s. Fan
ming, Hay Bales, Juanita Prevail, X. A.
Suvanto, A. l.. Pollock, G. Piccoi, o.

must always be new names. There

1t is futile to attempt a description
OF the power of the drawing and the
play OF ideas to be found in the sixty

again the big pages inside the sturdy

A Review Of "Red Cartoons"

Review OF "heu Oartoons
William Randolph Hearst, Joseph
Medill Patterson, Adolph Ochs or any
other wealthy publisher of capitalist
newspapers would give lot of money
for the services of any one of the car
toonists whose creations have been
brought together by The DAILY
WORKER Publishing Co. in big
book of working-class drawings called
RED Cartoons"
Providing-they would draw what
the managing editor told them to. 1t
is lust this that makes these cartoon
lists something more than mere car
toonists: their devotion to the interests
of the working class. They are not
free" artists. Nor are they freak
artists. They are artists who have
given the fruit of their pens and
brushes to the working class. This
alone does not make them good art
lists. No, they have, besides their
convictions, a skill and an art that
make them exceptional craftsmen.
RED Cartoons" viii become histori-
cal. Because OF the remarkable draw
ings, the cutting satire and their adj
vocacy of the new society, yes, but
more so because they will constitute
a living record-a slice Of ten years
or so out of period that marks the
active beginning Of revolutionary
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES for a glorious
future.
The cartoons to be found in this
book are fearless. But protest is
not their only tune. 1t is easy to
protest. They build also. Before the
eyes Of the working class audience
they shatter the falseness, the hypoc-
risy and the brutality of capitalism
and its minions in the ranks Of the
workers. But theirs is not black art.
They let the sun shine thru. They

distorts the facts. The left wing did

er unions. The following are the two
Resolves. of the resolution present
ed to the A. C. w. convention by the
left wing delegates:
"ResolVed, That the A. c. w. Of
A. in convention assembled, here
with goes on record for the calling
of a general amaleamation conVen-
ton, based upon representatives
from the local unions of all needle
trades international unions, for the
purpose of amaIgamating all or as
many as possible Of these interna-
tional unions into one compact in
dustriaI union, this amaIgamation
convention to take place within six
months time; and be it further
"ResoIved, That in order to pre-
pare for the calling Of this ANAL
gamation convention, the incoming
G. &. B. stands instructed to invite
the G. E. BIS, or their representa-
tives, Of all other needle trades
unions to meet with them in pre-
Iiminary amaIgamation conference.
This conference to take place with
in two months after the adjourn
ment of this A. c. w. Of A. conVen-
ton"
This proposal is the only step that
could have been taken to bring about
the desired end, namely, amalgama-
ton. In opposition to this practical
plan, HflIman says, "We have taken
our stand and when they are ready
we will be with them" What does
he mean be ready? All the unions
have taken the same stand on ANAL
gamation as the A. c. w. In fact
the representatives to the A. G. w.
convention of the Ladies' Garment
Workers and the Cap Makers asked
the Ama1gamated to take steps to
bring about amalgamation, and the
striking Furriers Of New York made
the same request by telegram. To
this Hillman says, "and Of there is a
majority in other organizations that
desire amalgamation, it is up to them
to fight it out in their organizations
and not at this convention"

BUILDING PLANS
IN TANGLE

4 Congressional inquiry into the
public buildings program in the
District OF Columbia appears likely
at the coming session.
Unexpected delays in the de-
termination of sites for the new
Structures authorized by statute
tie-ups in condemnation proceed
ings, and unavoidable conflict be
tween the Mall development pro-
gram and the construction program,
all have served to cause a tenn
porary hiatus to the building work.
A proposal is now put forth,
with the support of Secretary of
the Treasury Mellon. and probably
that of President Coolidge for the
purchase OF all the land lying south
of Pennsylvania Avenue, between
Fourteenth and Sixth Streets before
any OF the new public buildings
with the possible exception of the
Archives and Internal Revenue
buildings-are erected.
Congress will be asked to permit
the use OF "a portion OF the sou
000, 900 allotted for new buildings
in Washington for the purchase OF
this privately owned land. Inas-
much as virtually $36.000,000 OF the
total allotment viii be required fo-
the completion of building projects
already determined upon by the
Public Buildings Commission, the
proposal to use a portion of this
sum for the 25-year-old Macmillan
project means an entire recasting
Of the program.
Estimates of the cost of the pur-
chase of the land south Of the
Avenue have been made as high as
$50 900. 900. although 90 years ago the
property could have been bought for
q third OF this amount.

Chicago, Fob. 24 R'-Speaking on prohibition from the Catholic viewpoint" the Rev, Joseph Rcincr, $, J., dean ot the College Of Arts and Sciences of Loyola university. today pleaded for emphasis upon the need of law observance and respect for the law. Hc addressed the Lake shore Womon's club
 "So far as Catholic principles are concerned, a government may adopt prohibition or not, may continue or repeal it or modify it," he said "Whcn the government adopts pro- hibition, prohibition becomes q law and as a law. not as prohibition, it assumes moral aspects"
 For those with an honest belief that prohibition is unwisc, he said that from tho Catholic viewpoint you have the right, I would say you have the obligation. to agitat" for it's repeal. But from that same viewpoint you have another ot q more sacred and more compelling obligation. tho obligation to agitat" for a substitute measure that gives fair promise to meet the situation more crfcctNcly.
 "Prohhtion is not SO completely out of harmony with Catholic thought and practice as some womb have us hcliovc," he said.

 The Southington officers went to Alexander's house where they found the trio and put them under arrest.
