and foreign-born.
Draw line between one kind of
foreign-born and others. Make the
Christian hate the Jew; make the
Irish despise the "Wop";; make all
of them look down upon the Ne
gro. Above all things, prevent the
toilerS of every origin, nationality
and color from uniting their forces
against the common force of the
exploiters.
And such is the influence of the
state organization and of all the
educational and other institutions
of capitalism, that the immigrant
toiler actually begins to feel infe-
rior to the native. He, himself,
looks up at the real American" as
at better man." The immigrant
does not speak English. If he does,
his accent is bad. His manners are
different from the manners of the
natives. His temperament expresses
itself in different ways. He does
not understand many of the habits
OF the country. Perhaps he is for
eign TO some of the hypocrisy that
Saturates the life of the petty-bour-
geoisie. At every turn he is being
given TO understand that he is "un-
American" Being unlike others is
considered q crime. Capitalist So
ciety at best has a plying attitude
towards the immigrant.
Since the war, pity is mixed with
fear. Who can tell? This 'Polack'
or "Bohunk" may turn out a Red.
IMMIGRANT MADE TO
FEEL INFERIOR
The immigrant submitted to low
er wages and worse treatment, be-
cause he was mac to feel a second
rate person, because native Ameri-
cans of the Anglo-Saxon stock were
made to believe they were destined
to a better life than their immi-
grant neighbors. Divide and rule.
BY giving the native Anglo-Saxon
workers slight privileges over i'm
migrant workers the master class
tried TO keep the ranks of labor
split and Illus maintain unchal-
lenged supremacy. The labor mis-
leaders and the socialist politicians
aided in this work of disruption.
This was going on unchecked un-
til the Communist Party appeared
in the field. The Communist Par
ty represents the interests of the
entire working class, whether white
or colored, foreign-born or native.
The Communist Party is heading
the battles of the entire working
class and of all the exploited
against the master class as whole
and against its political power rep
resented by the State. And just be-
cause it is the aim of the Commu-
mist Party to weld the working class
into one mighty power capable OF
dealing the master class one blow
after the other with the view of
ultimately smashing its instrument
of power and establishing work
,ers' and farmers government, Just
because of this and il order to
achieve this it speaks to foreign
born workers in their native tongue.
We are not nationahsts. We do
not look upon the language as upon
a national sanctun." We do not

that the overwhelming majority Of
the membership of the A. 2. OF L.,
though not always consciously,
stand for the fight against the
bosseS-for the class struggle Of the
workers against the employers.
This difference is 50 fundamental
that it largely determines ali other
questions with regard TO tactics and
policies in the trade unions. Thus,

boards that are the instrumSse.S OF
the capitalists to keep down the
workers. They enter into pactS with
Roosevelt and the Rational Labor
Board against strikes and for COM
pulsory arbitration. They betrsy
the interests OF the workers on ev-
cry front.
LOGIC OF THE
CLASS STRUGGLE
Long ago Karl Marx 81 sled t4sat it
was net sufficient for the workers TO
make their slogan of action merely
the demand for s. "fsir days wage
for a fair days work" bat that the
demand must be "the abolition OF
the whole system OF capitalist ex-
ploitation." This conclusion results
from the very logic of the recogni-
ton Of the class struggle. More. The
fight for the abolition Of capitalism
becomes an immediate one for the
workers, since capitalism is less and
less able to give the workers even
the barest necessities. Witness the
present unemployment of more than
100000 workers. the large amount
Of part time work and the very low
wages in face of the mounting cost
Of living. This, clearly, Is not a result
Of any shortage of material wealth,
natural resources, efficient tools or
trained labor force. 1t results only
from the fact that there are two
classes. That one class own every
thing, enjoys everything and pro-
duces nothing, but hires labor to
run its machines so long as there Is
profit to be made, SO long as there
IS market for the goods at a fair
profit. While the other class under
capitalism owns nothing but its
power to labor, and only the capital
lists have the key to the factories
and the machines.
The Trade Union Unity League
and its affiliated unions stand on
the platform Of the struggle foa the
abolition Of capitalism, while tie
A. +. Of L leaders stand for the
fight at all cosIs for the further
existence, for the saving of capital
ism. This does not mean that every
member Of the T.UUL. unions be-
lieVes in the fight for the abolition
OF capitalism any more than that
every member of the A. F. Of L.
unions believes In the maintenance
of capitalism. But this much is OF
immediate concern TO every worker,
whether he believes in the fight for
a new social order or not: The A. F.
Of L. leaders, as agents of the capt.
talistS, eager to save capitalism, con-
slider every demand of the workers
from the point Of view whether 1t
will help or weaken CAPITALISM. For

As the annual sale of the Tubercu-

nears a close, Washington has con-
tributed just half Of its quota Of the
fund urgently needed to carry
through the society's 1885 program Of
health protection, said Mrs. Ernest r.
Grant, managing director, last night.
The Christmas seals which our
many good friends have already paid
for" said Mrs. Grant. amount to a
little more than $4,000. This en-
ables us to begin the new year conf
IDENTIFY in the faith that a large num-
Der Of those to whom seals were Of
fered but who have not so far re-
sponded will make it possible for us
to extend the work during the whole
year.
I'VE know from numerous letters
now received, as we'll as from the eX-
perience of former seal sales, that a
good many of our friends do pay for
the seals after the New Year period.
1t is never too late to pay for Christ
mas seals.
ITO all Of the many thousands of
Washingtonians who have bought
our little penny seals and who have
contributed to the financing of the
fight against our common enemy,
tuberculosis, the officers and direc-
tors Of our association wish to express
their sincere thanks" Mrs. Grant

They took automobile rides together,
dined together, met at business con-

reconciliation; waited impatiently for
an announcement Of one. But it
never came.
1t was understood there had been

seemed likely that their meetings were
primarily for the purpose OF settling
their financial affairs prior to the
