There is no question but that most communi ties long pursued the ‘‘penny wise, pound foolish”’ policy in regard to their treatment of teachers. Within the past few years legislation and ecireuin stances have forcea some changes, and public sentiment is awaking to the fact that its teachers must at least leceive a compensation something like that given the janitors and scrubwomen of the buildings but upon whose shoulders no - re sponsibilities lie regarding the task of educating the country’s future men and women morally as well as mentally. : : Going Backward. Stop and think what is the least sum youcan imagine er‘lyone’s living on, anyone who like yourself is .used to the decencies of life. Then ask how long we «<an expect to ask that kind of person to teach in Wisconsin. Wisconsin has about 6,700 rural school = teachers in one-room schools. We are paying them about $72.50 a month. This is an average; about one fourth get $67 50 or less; about one-fourth get $77.50 or over. And this is only for eight or nine months. : Can these teachers live as we want those to live who have the education of our future citizens in their clrarge? We all know the answer. o i Are these teachers starving? No, they are not; albeit thot doesn’t happen to be the faultof the com munities which fix their pay. They are getting out of the business at a rate never heard of before, a rate- which means that we are accepting more and more applicants unfit to teach. ' : They have b:gun to look into this in Ohio. Here are . typical cases of four teachers who had given up the pro fession: - From S9OC as principal to _tjraveling at SIBOO. S From S7O a month in a rural school® to SI2OO as post office clerk. ok ; From $550 to railroad clerk at SI2OO. - _ From $35 a month to $1,500 in the mail service,. : Wisconsin is not so different from Ohio. We - can ask ourselves first, whether we want a teacher who is worth only what we are paying, and then whether we want a teacher who will not try to better himself or her self? : : Like every other reform movement there is danger if radical agitation is allowed to control. For thatf reason we quote Mrs. Bradford, one of Wisconsin’s most eminent women teachers who sees clearly the inadvisability of a whirlwind campaign to raise the pay of teachers without re gard to their qualifications as teachers. Those who are interested in teaching and education to the extent of something more than a dance each week and the end of the month when pay day comes will agree with Mrs. Bradford that reason must govern in raising teachers’ wages as well as in other branches of business. ; B ' Well Known Teacher Speaks. KENOSHA, WlS.—Following the appearance of 75 teachers before the school board to demand an increase of 35 per cent over the present schedule, Mrs. Mary D. Bradford, superintendent of schools issued 'the following statement in which ste condemns the impatience of the teachers, while conymending the movement in the United States for increased salaries for those in the teaching profession. Besides the advance demanded, an addition of SIOO to the annual salary for each year in excess of . five yea:s continuous service is also asked. : 1t became known at the meeting that local teachers have been discussing the situation and considering the formation of an organization to further their demands. Mrs. Bradford’s statement follows: “No intelligent person questions "today the state ment that teachers as a c¢lass are underpaid for the® im portant public service which they perform. A recent movement in Kenosha on the part of some of the teach ers to have the wages increased immediately is only a manifestation of what is transpiring in all localities of this and other states. ; *“The general public is in sympathy with this move ment. School boards in many places have met the situa tion by liberal increases in salaries and others have adopted new schedules to take effect in the immediate future. : “The school board of Kenosha has not only ' attempt ed recently to meet the situation by special raises, al ready in effect, bnt a plan for a future schedule of sala ries, which is not excelled in the state from both the as pects of liberality and rational adjustment upon the merit basis, is being planned, to take effect in Septem ber, 1920. i “Things are moving in the right direction, but some want them to move faster and there is a question whether or not these will help or hinder the progress o the cause. Especially is this doubt stirred when there is manifest in this movement a disposition on - the part of some young and inexperienced teachers, of unproved merit, to cut off the advice of the more experienced and thoughtful members of the teaching body, to follow the methods of the labor agitutor; to allow something of the disturbing spirit to creep into their deliberations. “I believe that a good teacher or any one who gives promise of being a good teacher, when experience shall have done the thing which only experience can do, is worth at Jeast SIOO a month for tutwelve months. luis true now as always, that merit although it may not be the quickest way, is the surest way to reward; that those workers whether in industry or in the public service, who are always hesitating to take ho!d and do because they are afraid of doing more than they are getting paid for, are pretty sure to be the ones who do not soon get %o the place where they are paid for more than they do; that there are those who are so interested in agitating for more wages that they.forget to earn the wages they already have. “Finally, I believe that since there is no place which offers the opportunities that the teachers’ profession does for the gratification of vhe desire of service, which desire should animate everyone who enters upon the teaching profession, that in such gratification teachers must al ways find a portion of their just reward.” MEN LIKE THESE WOULD RULE YOU R B S SNO |= L % = .’ s P = e Ny NG ? : AT A o OO A s 2SR A ;”‘4«%> : e S X 7 2 0 ERRoO R R 0&, S : o L e 2 b R PLI R e B 800 e G es R = A R B R T R T R e ._.;:;:-:~::;:;:. g S : : :?:%:i:f:2;?-:;:;:-:~:<:<:f:f:3:1::;:::;:;:;t;ff:;:;:;:;‘,_:;:::- % 2 g e B e S : B B %A B R T T o R 4 e R e B S e R R Bed s R e e A R R R R (>(§ 1 :?1;:11:1:?: PO S e 70 e 2ag o S s i O DR s S o AR, eDS o, S e $ R R R N i;:§:::;:;:E:-j:f:}:’;:{:;:?:;;;;:2:::::-::;:;:5:3"-:5:;:5:5:::_::2:3:3:.

COMMUNISTS CALL FOR LABOR REVOLT Revolutionary Pamphlet, Found in U. S. Department of . Justice Investigations, Gives Message of Com -munists in Chicago to Russian Headquarters. : Extracts from “Manifesto and Program—Constitution—Report to the Communist International” by the Communist Party of America, Chicago, Il - : - ; Communism does not propose to ‘capture’ the bourgeoise parliamentary state, but to conquer and destroy it. As long as the bourgeoise state prevalils, the capitalist class can baffle the will of the proletariat. In those countries in which historical development has furnished the opportunity, the working class has utilized the regime of political democracy for its organization against Capitalfsm. Ca : . «The older unionism was based on the craft divisions of small industry. The unions consisted primarily of skilled workers whose skill is itself a form of property. The unions werg not organs of the militant class struggle. To day the dominant unionism is actually a bulwark of Capitalism, merging ir Imperialism and accepting State Capitalism, ; L -+ The proletarian revolution comes at the moment of crisis in Capitalism, of a collapse of the old order. Under thé impulse of the érisis, the proletariat acts for the conquest of power, by means of mass action. Mass action concen trates and mobilizes the forces of the proletariat, organized and unorganized; it acts equally against the bourgeois state and the conservative organizations of the working class. - Strikes of protest develop into general political strikes and then into revolutionary mass action for the conquest of the power of the }state. Mass action becomes political in purpose while extra-parliamentary in form ; it is equally a process of revolution and the revolution itself in operation. The Communist Party is the conscious expression of the class struggle of the workers against capitalism. Its aim is to direct this struggle to the cop quest of political power, the overthrow of capitalism and the destruction of the bourgeois state. : : : The Communist Party prepares itself for the revolution in the measure that it develops a program of immediate action, expressing the mass strug gles of the proletariat. These struggles must be inspired with revolutionary spirit and purposes. : : . | The Communist Party is fundamentally a party of action. It brings to the workers a consciousness of their oppression, of the impossibility of Im proving their conditions under capitalism. The Communist Party directs the workers’ struggle against capitalism, developing fuller forms and purposes in this struggle, culminating in the mass action of the revolution. The Communist Party shall make the great industrial Qlfruggles of the working class its major campaigns, in order to develop an understanding of the strike in relation to the overthrow. of capitalism. ; 7 (a) The Communist Party shall participate in mass strikes, not only to achieve the immediate purposes of the strike, but to develop the revolutionary implications of the mass strike, J , (b) Mass strikes are vital factors in the process out of which develops the workers' understanding and action for the conquest of power. (¢) In mass strikes under conditions of concentrated capitalism there is talent the tendency toward the general mass strike, which takes on a political character and manifests the impulse toward proletaridn dictatorship. In these general mass strikes the Communist Party shall emphasize the necessity of maintaining industry and the taking over of social functions usually discharged by the capitalists and the institutions of capitasm. The strike must cease being isolated and passive; it must becoune positive, general i and aggressive, preparing the workers for the complete assumption of indus- i trial and social control. : k. ; : (a) Every local and district organization of the Party shall establish contact with industrial units in its territory, the shops, mills and mines—and direct its agitation accordingly. / (b) -Shop Committees shall be organized wherever possible for the pur pose of Communist agitation in a particular shop or industry by the workers employed there. These committees shall be united with each other and with the Communist Party, so that the party shall have actual contact with the workers and mobilize them for action against capitalism. . : The Communist Party must engage actively in the struggle to revolution ize the trade unions. As against the unionism of the American Federatibn of Labor, the Communist Party propagandizes industrial unionism and industrial union organization, emphasizing their revolutionary implications. Industrial Unionism is not simply a means for the everyday struggle against capitalism ; its ultimate purpose is revolutionary, implying tlie necessity of ending the capitalist parliamentary state. Industrial Unionism is a factor In the final mass action for the conquest of power, as it will constitute the basis for the industrial administration of the Communist -Commonwealth, : (a) The Communist Party recognizes that the A. F. of“L. is reactionary and a bulwark of capitalisi. (b) Councils of workers shall be organized in the shops as circumstances allow, for the purpose of carrying on the industrial union struggle in the old unions, uniting and mebilizins the militant elements; these councils to be unified in a Central Council wherever possible, : (c) It shall be a wujor task of the Cominunist Party to agitate for the construction of a general industrial union organization, embracing the I. W. W., W. L. L. U, independent and secession unions, militant unions of the A. F. of L., and the unorganized workers, on the basis of the revolutionary class struggle. The Communist Party shall encourage movements of the workers in the shops seeking to realize workers' control of industry, while indicating their limitations under capitalism ;. concretely, any movement analogous to the Shop Stewards of England. These movements (equally directed against the union bureaucracy) should be related to the Communist Party. The unorganized unskilled workers (including the agricultural proletariat) ‘ constitute the bulk of the working class.. The Communist Party shall directly ; and systematically agitate among these workers, awakening them to industrial union organization and action. T Madagascar Turtles.

Dodge Shows What Near Edst Relief Can Do in Efficient Purchasing. Buying in wholesale lots and under the most favorable market conditions, Near East Relief of 1 Madison avenue, New York city, with represefitatives in every state of the Union, has been able to baffle the high cost of living so far as relief supplies for the suffering mil lions of the Near East are concerned. Cleveland H. Dodge, treasurer, in a statement shows that the committee is able to provide food for the suffering people of the Near Eqst at prices much lower than the average charge here. A donation of $5 per month will pro vide food for one orphan, $lO per month provides not only food, but alsc clothes and shelter for one orphan, and for sls per month attendance at ‘school is assured to each orphan in ad dition to food, clothing and- shelter, In the appeal for funds to save the starving remnants of the Armenians and other western Asia peoples, Near East Relief is inviting the American public to “adopt” an orphan at the rates given here. Over 250,000 home less children are in need of help in the Near HEdast. - Women’s organizations. lodges, churchgs and social clubs are responding to the appeal by adopting ‘quotas of orphans for support over a definite period. : From Review Files Twenty-five Years Ago.
