union recognition waged by the AL

-Elliat Bates Barber, director of
adult education in Danbury, Conn,
and considered one of the smart
est men in his town, today ex-
posed Karl Marx before the de-
partment of adult education at
Yale.
Marx, Barber said, is the real
instigator of the recent criticism
of the Daughters of the American
Revolution and their much-dis-
cussed blacklist of radical speak
ers.
"He disparages all true patriot
. ism of whatever type" Barber
said. ale sneers at 100 per cent
patriots, deforms and vilifies our
history, great men and American
life.
"Disrespect to the flag, ridicule
of government action and the sol
dier's uniform are part of the
program.
"The attack on the D. of A. R.
is an instance in point-patriotism
is abolished, national defense is
weak, pacifism and disarmament
follow. Then there is a chance to
put over the world revolution, for
under these circumstances it has
a chance to succeed"
The department of adult educa-
ton at Yale has not yet decided
what steps to take in the, matter.

100000 ELECTION
DRIVE SPEEDED
Sky Is the Limit for
Capitalists

With the issuance of a fifty-cent
assessment stamp for sale to the
party membership, the purchase of
which is obligatory on every party
member, the National Election Cam
paign Committee of the Workers
(Communist) Party started on the
first lap of the drive to raise $780,
900 for the Communist Campaign
Fund
simultaneously the capitalist
parties announced thru their pub
licity departments that there is no
truth in the report that their election
expenditures would be confined to
100000. The sky is the limit for
both parties.
Fund is Vital.
The campaign assessment stamr
is expected to bring several thou
sand dollars Immediately into the
treasury of the National Election
Campaign Committee of the Work
ers' (Communist) Party. Alexander
Trachtenberg, with heaquarters at
43 E. 125th St., New York, is cam
paign fund treasurer, and all con-
tributions should be forwarded to
him at that address.
The Importance of raising fund
for immediate work is the reason
for issuing the assessment stamp
and the Central Executive Commit
tee of the Party in letter to the
membership stresses the Importance
Of speed in realizing on the sale OF
those stamps and forwarding the
proceeds at once to the campaign
treasurer.
All districts of the party were
given quotas corresponding to the
number Of members in each district
The allotments are as follows:
District I: 1000; 2, 1000; 3, 300; d.
400; 5, 1000; s, 800; 7, 800; 8

New Masses, however, seem to have
laid down on the job because of hot
weather. The poets, also. do not
seem especially inspired. More
book reviews would perhaps add in
terest. There is also this thing that
the New Masses of last year over
did-that insistence to spice every
item with just a little sex. don't
know the answer to that one.
The heavy black rules and the
tough butcher-paper the magazine
is printed on give it different and
attractive appearance. By and large,
the new editorial policy, and the
care and ability to put it into prac-
tice, have brought it closer to the
life of the worker. There's no ques-
ton about it. 1t is becoming a
magazine of workers. art. Seeing

quarters at 143 East 103rd St., in.
auguratcd its drive for signatures
to put the Workers Communist
Party on the ballot by calling 9
special meeting of the section execu-
tive committee. Unlike most sec
ton executive committee meetings
this one lasted only ten minutes
after which each member of the ex-
ecutive marched out of the head
quarters armed with petitions, in
delible pencils and Daily Workers
and proceeded to finecomb an cleo
ton district for signatures.
During the week there have been
four open-air meetings held in Har-
lem on the election campaign, at
each of which were sold a goodly
portion of the 500 copies of the
Workers (Communist) Party Plat
forms which Harlem confidently
purchased from the district office.
The first report made by M. Mo
reau was a substantial one of 101
signatures for both the local and
national petitions. Moreau reported
that in one block, in the Negro sec
ton of Harlem, Comrade Williams
obtained 80 signatures in an hour.
Negro workers, according to Com
rade Williams, are extremely inter
ested in the Workers (Communist)
Party and it's platform, and show
keen interest in the stand of the
Workers Party on lynchings, Jim
Grow laws and racial prejudice gen
orally.
1t begins to look as though Harlem
were seriously after the scalp of the
Boro Park section, which boasts
that one comrade has already col
lected 30 signatures, and is unbeat-
able. The rivalry between the vari-
Gus sections is so keen that there is
considerable agitation in the dis
trict office to establish special
district prize for the section that
hits the highest mark. Boro Park
is already preparing its speech Of
acceptance.

the New Masses is making good in
becoming a workers art magazine,
"In Soviet Russia" writes the
editor, Michael Gold, everyone
is writing. A vast network of
workers correspondents fill the
newspapers with simple, direct ac-
counts of the daily life of the
workers.
"We are trying to make the
New Masses a magazine of kind

WANT INJUNCTION
Zaritsky, Socialists Use
Employers Weapon

BOSTON, July 27.-This morning
there appeared in the Equity Court,
Mr.. Zaritsky, the President of the
Cloth Hat and Cap Makers Inter
national, accompanied by his So
cialist attorneys Bearak and Rover
to give cause why an injunction
should be issued by the court against
Local No. Z of Boston and it's off
GERS.
After. hearing the eloquent plea
for the injunction the judge refused
to issue temporary restraining or
der on all the complaints raised in
the plea, but did order that the call
ing of strikes should be discontinued,
but at the same time Mr.. Bearak
was forced to agree that no workers
would be taken off their jobs for re-
fusing to register with the Zaritsky
local. Further hearing on the case
was postponed to August 81.
The socialist lawyer Bearak ar
gued that the shop strikes called by
Local No. to protect the workers
who were thrown off the jobs for
refusing to register with the Zarit-
sky local, were embarrassing both
Zaritsky and the manufacturers who
both had signed new agreement.
The bill of complaint asked that
the duly elected officials of local Z
should have no right to function as
officials of the local, cannot speak in
its name, that funds are not to be
used for any purpose, that state
ments are not to be issued under the
name of Local No. 7, that the local
be enjoined from calling shop strikes.
In short that the local cease to exist.
The effort of the Zaritsky clique
to wrest power from the local left
wing administration by intimidating
workers, by firing them from their
jobs and thus taking away their
means of livelihood, his close al
lance with the manufacturers which
makes of the Zaritsky local a COM
pany union, his secret agreement
with the manufacturers of which the
members know nothing and his last
act of seeking the aid of the capt.
talist courts in his fight against the
membership has aroused deep re.
sentiment in the ranks of the Cap
makers.
Before the hearings on the in
junction are over many interesting
facts will be brought to light. The
high handed manner of the Zaritsky
clique will be brought out
The membership of the Zaritsky
local who have now been tied down
with an agreement which they never
/ approved will demand to know the
full text of the agreement. What
conditions which were won thru hard
struggle did Mr.. Zaritsky give up
in order to win the support of the
manufacturers in his strugg e
against the workers? The member
ship has right to know. The mem
bership will also want an account
/ ing from Zaritsky-why he makes
use of the most powerful instru-
ments against the workers-the in.
