hal began to be FESTIVE. A few of
the wiser foreign business men urged
a more humane labor policy. They
were ignored. Early in 1888 strike
was called in Japanese textile mills
in Shanghai. The strikers induced an
English lawyer to intercede for them
with the owners. Peace was patched
up, but the owners ignored its terms
and discharged all workers who had
been active in the strike organization.
In this contempt for their own pledges
they had the silent support Of the
Chinese, British and other mill own
ers.
Courts Part Told.
The Shanghai mixed court gave
quick punishment to strikers who in
jured property of the mills, but ig-
nored the killing of striker by a
mill foreman. Students who protested
the courts indifference were jailed.
Their friends who paraded in further
protest were shot down in the famous
massacre of May 80, which led to
strikes and anti-foreign demonstra-
lions throughout the whole country.
Suppression Falls.
Because the strikes were based on
cruel mistreatment of the Chinese
workers-the kicking and beating of
both adults and children at work by
the foremen, being proved to be
common occurrence-all attempts by
northern militarist governors to sup
press the labor unions since the mas

RAILROADS SUED FOR Big

NEW YORK, Jan. 5. = The Pull
man company and the Atlantic
Coast Line railway have been made
defendants in a suit for 100000
following the election of a Negro
woman from a sleeping car in Flor
ida. The railroad companies claim
the election was made in compli-
ance with the "Jim Grow" laws of
Florida which deny Negroes the
use of sleeping cars used by whites.
Arthur Garfield Hays al Clarence
barrow have been retained by the
National Association for the Ad-
vancement of coIored People to
handle the case.
The woman is Mrs. Blanche s..
Brookins of New York. She rode
from New York to Florida in a
Pullman car, but when the train
reached Florida she was ordered
out. On refusing she was elected
forcibIy and arrested by Florida Of
ficiaIs. She was forced to pay a
fine of $500.
II is pointed out that the election
was Illegal, as Mrs. Brookins was
a passenger in Interstate commerce,
and as such could not come under
the Florida state law.

MAN by nature could not exist long
AtA without some kind of physical
activity. The atmosphere Of continu-
ously confined unvarying life, would
also destroy his mental powers.
A general survey of mans physical
activities previous to the present era
of civilization shows that he was an
active creature. In the remote past,
members of both the upper and lower
classes of society were forced into all
around physical development; the
very type of civilization demanded an
active life spent in widely varied ways
of securing livelihood.
Chained to Machines.
Today the workers active life has
disappeared. The workingman is
forced into wage slavery and thereby
chained to the machines of big indus
tries in which the work has become
highly specialized with almost a total
disregard for bodily abilities. The
very devices that are termed labor
saving must be recognized at the same
time as body-weakening causes.
Whereas, the past conditions afforded
an all-around physical exercise; this
age of intense specialization has rob
bed them Of this benefit.
Effort of Specialized Labor.
The development of piece-work in
the capitalist system forces special
lied labor upon the individual who
must thus work rapidly in order to
exist. For instance, man operating
punch press shapes one particular
| type of metal according to one par
ticuIar die; and he may do this same
thing thousands of times during a
single days work and repeat it over
and over again with endless monot-
ony for months and years. Moreover,
his machinery is noisy, conversation
of any length is not tolerated, and the
result is that the man is isolated. He
becomes in effect, machine with a
single operation to perform. Monot-
lony descends upon him, and with 1t
the relaxation offered by change and
variety of interest disappears. The
man is almost placed in the same
position as the prisoner in solitary
confinement who has only thirty-six
square feet on which to walk and
nothing but bare walls to consider in
attempting to offset the monotony.
Strain enters in and the tension causes
the workingman, after certain time,
to become nervously exhausted, with
the work becoming more and more a
drudgery. The consequence is-a
I physically wrecked, mentally unde-
veIoped working class. m9

THE NEED FOR LABOR SPORTS

been essential to the human family.
The object of labor sports is to place
physical exercise on scientific basis
from the standpoint Of health.
At the present time the main
agencies for promoting sports and
athletics are the bourgeois athletic
clubs and organizations. Their prin-
cipal aim, besides creating individual
stars" has been to direct sports to-
wards certain desired ends. Most
often this has been ultra-patriotism,
militarism, advertisement of some in
situations and worse veto detract
the young workers from their class
interests.
Aims.
The aims of the labor sports move
ment should be: To unite all work
ers' gymnastic, sport and athletic
clubs; to secure state and local legis
lation for the establishment of public
Fairgrounds, gymnasiums, baths and
fields for labor sports in the U. S. A.;
by athletic activity stimulate the
youth of the working class mentally
and morally, also, to unite the youth
and urge it to participate in the labor
unions, parties and clubs that are
promoting the welfare of the workers;
to support the international labor
sports movement.
Help us work towards the realiza-
ton Of these aims.

MANY comrades will say: TITS a
40A foolish question. OF course we
do. Doesn't the Communist Interna-
tional state definitely that Commu-
nists must participate in the parlia-
mentary action? Do We not clearly
state in the program of the Workers
CCommunist) Party that we must par
ticipate in the parliamentary action?
More than that: Didn't we partici-
pate in the presidential elections of
1924 or in the congressional elections
OF 1892"
All this is perfectly true. Still it is
high time even at this late hour to
ask ourselves the question: do we
believe in the parliamentary action?"
Words alone cannot stand for an an
swer to this question. Neither is the
declaration in our program sufficient.
Words and declarations alone do not
mean anything when We speak about
the Communist movement. Nor is
our participation" in the presiden-
tial or congressional elections in the
past a proof that the above question
is ridiculous. On the contrary, this
participation" proves, if it proves
anything else, that We must once more
take this question up very seriously
or we shall make ourselves ridiculous
IN the eyes of the masses with our
parliamentary action, even tho our
program is quite clear on it.
want to deal here with this ques-
ton very briefly from actual expe-
rience and leave the question to be
answered by the comrades themselves
whether we really believe in the par
namentary action. But before you do
listen to this account, understand
this: l am speaking about the revo-
lutionary parliamentarism, i. e., par
ticipation in election campaigns for
the purpose of educating and organic
ing masses for the struggle of the
overthrow of the bourgeoisie rule,
and not for the purpose of reforming
it and prolonging it's existence.
THE district executive committee of
4 District No. IL decided to have a
real election campaign in New York
City. The Interborough and the Cloak
makers made very favorable condi-
lions for the success of the campaign.
A full-paid comrade was put in as
the manager of the campaign; another
full-paid comrade was given the job
of collecting funds for the campaign.
The work was started with the collec-
ton of signatures in order that the
Workers CCommunist) Party could
appear on the official ballot when the
citizens OF New York cast their votes.
This was the first serious test of our
belief in the parliamentary action.
Only a very few comrades partici-
pated in collecting signatures and the
necessary amount Of signatures was
secured only with the greatest exer-
ton on the part of the district COM
mittee. AS far as the members of the
party are concerned, We failed mis-
erably in this first test.
DUT there was still chance of
~ strengthening our belief in the
parliamentary action for the real
campaign was still at the head, still
coming. Now we began to talk about
the campaign-and act, of course.
Our campaign manager made a list
of our speakers. 1t happened that
the crop of speakers was very good,
therefore he listed not less than about
so. What a crowd We will be able
to hold tens of open air meetings
