Nationalist Religion
Has Relics, Says Hayes

Characterizing nationalism as a
religion with a special brand of
worship" Prof. Carlton j. Hayes
of Columbia university declared
that "the fruits of the religion of
nationalism are ignorance, intoler-
ance and docility of the masses"
He was speaking before the COM
mittee on militarism in education,
which is attacking the spread Of
compulsory military training in
American colleges.
Hayes poked fun at patriotic
"cults" who pay religious homage
to the flag, national anthem and
other nationalistic symbols. "The
religion of nationalism" he said,
'has its own shrines, images, icons
and relics. Take the Liberty bell,
for instance, with crack in it's
side. Why, when it was. taken
across the country by railroads,
groups of old ladies flocked to the
tracks to interrupt its progress.
They kissed it; yes, kissed the bras.

The SPLIT IN TAMMANY HALL

advanced in a merger in which Chad
bourne and Dahl who own the B.
M. t., have already acquired a ma
jority stock in the l. r. T. and thru
affiliated companies have a powerful
interest in the Fifth Avenue Coach
and the New York Railways Cor
poration. Walker has already show
ed the futility of his plans by giving
in on his scheme for a four borough
bus system, exempting the Bronx in
order to get the support of Borough
President Mckee Of the Bronx.
This means that in the Bronx, the
Surface Transportation Corporation,
a Third Avenue Railway subsidiary,
will get the bus franchise according
tc the modified Walker plan. The
Smith plan is the more oppressive
and the Walker plan is more full of
contradictions and impossibilities.
Both plans mean strengthening of
the hold that the traction interests
already have on City politics.
The Only Solution.
There is only one real solution of
the whele transit problem. That way
is: a.. The organizations of all the
tractio nworkers of the city, wheth-
er subway, elevated or surface line
employees, in a single powerful union
capable of combating the combination
of the B. NJ. I. and /. r. T. that has
already been affected and the larger
combination of capital implied in the
Smith traction consolidation plan;
and ~ The municipal ownership of
all traction lines, with workers con-
troll thru participation in the man

which the Workers (Communist)
Party proposed in the last electoral
and in its efforts to aid
the traction workers to organize
themselves. That is the plan that
this newspaper advocates. That is

REAL TORS DON'T ABOLISH SLUMS
Housing Committee
Chairman Says Rich
Will Not End Slums

August Heckscher, chairman of the
National Housing Committee for con-
gested areas, told his audience in a
speech delivered at the town hall last
night, that they must not rely on
wealthy men to finance the replace
ment of slums by model tenements.
Heckscher said: what is in con-
temptation must commend itself to
the people at large. The people Of
slender means are more generous
than are the rich. But why should
not the city absorb the unearned in
crement and undertake the job?"
He pointed out defects in the re-
cent state housing law, and especially
that of attempting to gain private
finance for housing.

MINNEAPOLIS, Minn.-The small
Workers Party nucleus in Angors,

worthy of emulation by larger units

region of the district, where little
money is realized by the farmers

because they were convinced Of the
necessity for keeping The DAILY

Workers Communist Party
What the Communists Want in the Factories

as their main task the organization
of the workers into the union.
Start UniOnizing.
When no union exists in the indus
try the Communists try to get con
tact with other workers in other
shops and form a union ana affiliate
it to the American Federation of
Labor. When a factory consists Of
union men, but the employer has not
yet recognized the union, the Com
munists mobilize the workers to fight
for recognition of their union. When
shop is organized the Communists
are always on the job seeing that
the shop is strictly union shop, that
all rules and regulations of the I'M
ion are lived up to. Also as to the
methods of work-it varies according
to the conditions.
In those factories where the Com
munists would be fired if it became
known that they are Communists,
they work secretly That is they
make it known to the workers that
there exists a factory group through
the publication of the factory bull
letins, leaflets, workers correspon-
oence in The DAILY WORKER, ETC.,
but the members of the factory group
are known only to the closest SYM
pathizers.
Always For Workers.
In the factories the Communists
always fight for the interests of the
workers. They educate the workers
and mobilize them to struggle for
better wages, better conditions, short
er hours, etc. They utilize every evil
from which the workers suffer to
point out to them the necessity for
as a protection against
all these evils such as bad foremen,
poor ventilation, fines, factory spies,
etc. At the same time the Com
utilize the every day shop
issues to raise the political level of
the workers by connecting up the oc-
currences and conditions in the fac
tory with the broader political life of
the city, state and nation.
Distribute The Worker.
The Communists in the factories
distribute and sell The DAILY
WORKER, try to get subscriptions to
The DAILY WORKER, and also get
as many of the workers as they can
to become worker correspondents for
The DAILY WORKER.

SAYS SUFFICIENT
CARS FURNISHED
FOR GRAPE CROP

WASHINGTON, June 23.-
Charges that railroads failed to
furnish sufficient cars for Califor-
MIA grape transportation are unsus-
tanned, according to a proposed re
port of his investigation filed by
Special Examiner John l.. Rogers
with the Interstate Commerce Com
mission.
The so called grape ear plan y
the system Of furnishing refriger-
ator cars for grape loading in Cal
ifornia during periods of car short
age-is found by Rogers not to be
unreasonable and not to result in
undue preference or prejudice with
some exceptions.
"There are indications in the
record,' said the report, THAT the
grape ear plan is favored by some
shippers because the information
obtained under the plan is of value
in the marketing of grapes. There
is also some evidence that due to
market conditions some shippers
have favored ear shortages as
means of restricting shipments and
increasing the market price.
"These facts prompt us in OBJ
serving that regulation of the vol
ume of shipments or prices at the
market is no part of the duty of
carriers and no ear distribution
plan should be used as a device to
accomplish these ends.
'Tf reasonable request is made to
carriers for ears and the ears are
available they should be furnished
without regard to market condi-
tions. Regulations of the volume
of shipments and the determination
of the markets to which such ship
ments should be sent are matters
to be handled by the shippers and
their organizations, apart from car
service rules and regulations of the
carriers.
Rogers pointed out that evidence
showed that some plan of ear dis
tribution is necessary to enable ear
riers to distribute ears among ship
pers, but such ALLEGATIONS must be
in accord with requirements of the
transportation act.
His report now must be examin-
ed by the full commission.

ization and exchange Of information
regarding the tonnages of warships
of all classes possessed by Great
Britain, Japan and the United
States.
The technical commission was ex-
pected to complete it's first task of
exchanging technical information
today. 1t was scheduled to report
to the executive committee, com.
posed of the heads of three dele
cations, tomorrow after which the
work of the conference may proceed
with less delay.
Hugh Gibson and Baron Saito,
heads, respectively Of the American
and Japanese delegations, were m-
derstood to have discussed the pro-
posal to reduce the size of capital
ships.
That would reopen questions set.
tied in the Washington armament
treaties and for that reason is op-
posed by the United States.
1t was authoritatively reported
Saito had refused to pledge positive
opposition to the British proposal
Saito told Gibson Japan was un-
able to accept the proposal to ex-
tend the Washington $50 capital
ship ratio to cruisers, destroyers and
submarines. He intimated, how
ever, his country was disposed to
make concessions along other lines.
1t was understood Japan was in
clined to favor the American view
points that armed merchant ships
presented an important factor in
modern warfare. British delegates
have contended arming Of mer-
chantmen is unimportant.
Japan seemed generally disposed
toward the American viewpoint
rather than the British on most i'm
portant points.
No apparent progress had been
made for specifying the number
and tonnage of ships leach nation
should be permitted in each class,
and the American plan for limiting
only the total tonnage in each
class.
Gibson and Admiral Jellicoe of
the British delegation took their
troubles to the golf links yester'
day afternoon and played lS holes
without a decision. The score ran
evenly throughout.
