Page Four Mobilize for Unity and Work Call of the Natlonal Executive Com- mittee to the Membership. of the Young Workers League of America. Seeman The third national con- vention of the league is over, It has chosen anew leadership on the basis of the decisions of the Comin- tern and the Y, C. I. and has entrusted to this leadership the tasks of the bolshevization of the league and its transformation into a mass Commun- ist league of young workers. It has laid the foundation for the liquidation of all factionalism in the league and for the beginning of a period of mass activity. We have just passed thru a period of prolonged factional struggle— which at times assumed bitter and im- permissable forms. Out of this strug- however, there developed the pos- sibilities for the unification of the league. Thru this struggle crystallized the correct Leninist line of policy for the league, Thru this struggle there was developed and brot out a co-ordinated leadership capable of carrying this line of policy into ef- fect. Thru the ideological struggle the whole policy of the league was brot out to light, examined, and anal- yzed before the membership as a ‘whole. Thru the prolonged discus- on, the political level of the mem- ership was raised and the league as; #@ whole more educated to an under- aanding of its role as the vanguard of the working youth in its struggle for everyday demands, and as the leader in the struggle for the emancipation of the whole working class. The convention has acted and the period of discussion and controversy is over. The political basis of the thereyClass struggle in this country is draw- struggle in the league liquidated even before our third convention when the national convention of the Work- ers Party, with the help of the Com- intern, finally put an end to the con- troversy that had raged within the or- ganization for nearly two years..The liquidation of the political contro in the party carried with it similar consequences for the league inas- much as our league leadership had accepted the incorrect line of policy of the former majority of the C, EB. C. The solution of the crisis in the party, therefore, was politically the greatest step forward“in the process of unify- ing the league. There is no longer any basis for factions or factionalism in the Young Workers League. Comrades: We, the Young Com- munist League of America, stand be- fore a period of great revolutionary opportunities. The sharpening of the ing the young workers more and more into the arena of economic and polit- ical struggle. The young workers are beginning to awaken; they are be- sinning to take up the struggle for the necessities of their everyday life, for better conditions of life and work, fdr greater opportunities for self-develdp- ment—a struggle that is full of the greatest revolutionary implications, It is the task of the Communist youth not only to facilitate and accelerate this process of awakening and strug- gle but to crystallize it, organize it, expend and develop it, assume the leadership of it, and to transform it from an immediate struggle for every day demands into a conscious a against the capitalist class and the whole capitalist system. We must stand in the front ranks of all the; struggles of the young workers; we must ‘assume our role as the van- guard of the toiling youth, The Young Workers League can only achieve this role of the vanguard of the young workers in their strug- gles if the entire membership stands united and ready on the platform of action behind the leadership and line of policy of the N. EB, C. and the Y. C, I. Every member must take his place in the ranks and on the field of struggle. The unification of our or- ganization now becomes our revolu- tionary duty. Only if we unify our ranks, only if we bolshevize our league and convert it into an unyield- ing iron cohort of the revolution can we win the confidence of the masses of young workers and establish oyr leadership over them. Unity and work! - The tasks that are facing the league at this period are many and difficult. The N. E, C. is determined that these tasks shall be met in a Bolshevik manner and our league proves itself a worthy section of the World Com- munist League of Youth—the Young Communist International. It calls upon the entire membership /to close the ranks of the league and unite and mobilize for work! f Into the masses of the young work- ers in the shops and factories! Be- come an organic part of the working youth. Participate in all their strug- gles. Take the lead in“all the strug- les of the young workers! Forward to a united league! Forward to the bolshevization of our league and to a mass Young Communist League in America!

During the first three months, they will take a course in ‘“Mafxism,” in- structor, Bert Wolfe, and a course in “Party History and Problems,” in- structor, William W. Weinstone.

FOR COMPTROLLER FOR THE BRONX: | NEW HAVEN, Conh.; Oct, 19—The membership meeting of New Haven (District 15) of the Workers (Communist) Party went overwhelmingly on record in favor of supporting the new C. E. C. and its activities for the reorganization of the party. Vote On Resolution 58 to 0, By a vote of 58 to 0, with 6 abstaining, the resolution, introducha by Comrade Wolfe, who reported for the C, E. C, was carried by the meeting after a long and interesting discus-~ sion of the technical problems of re organization and of the politica meaning of the resolution. Comrade Wolfe, in making his report, summar- ized briefly the history of the party and its recent convention in so far as it pertained to the light they threw on the Bolshevization of our party. Party Crises Reviewed. He pointed out that the party had gone thru three main crises which he named: 1. The crisis of the formative per- iod—(Who shall enter our ranks and how shall we distinguish ourselves from the opportunists?) 2. The problem of our relation to the masses—(legality, united front, la- bor party.) 3. The Bolshevization crisis—(at- titude toward opportunistic elements and elimination of the social-democra- tic form of organization.) The speaker pointed out that in each of the three crises, the Com- munist International had intervened and greatly aided the party in solv- ing its problems. In the first crisis, it had compelled unity between the Cc. P., the C. L. P., and the'U. C. P. In the second, it had thrown its in- fluence on the side of those who fa- vored a legal party, active united front campaigns and the labor party; and in the third case, hastened the liquidation of Loreism and opportun- ism and hastened the Bolshevization and reorganization of the party. Taking up the recent party conven- tion, Comrade Wolfe showed how unanimous decisions on the funda- mental questions of immediate reor- ganization, the expulsion of Lore, the removal of Askeli and the unanimous acceptance of the C. I. cable had laid the basis for united action of the en- tire party for its reorganization and Bolshevization. He emphasized the fact that an attempt to cast doubts upon a C. I. decision was an un-Com- munist act and described in detail the attacks of Lore upon the Comintern and its decisions. He then described the activities of the new C. E. C, for the Bolshevization of the party and detailed the entire reorganization plan specific application to the prob- lems of the New Haven district. Af- ter explaining the importance of this reorganization and urging immediate activity on the part of the district, e ended with an appeal for unified support of the C. HE, C. in its efforts to reorganize and Bolshevize the party. Comrade Wolfe was followed by Comrade Simons, organizer of District 15, who recounted the recent experi- ences of the district which throw light upon the practical problems of reor- ganization and described the success that reorganization had had in France and Germany. Questions Show Live Interest. A great number of questions, ad- dressed to Comrade Wolfe, revealed the intense interest of the member- ship in the reorganization and that, to quote the speaker, “District 15 was mentally already reorganizing itself.” Following a general discussion on the C. I, decision, the recent conven- tion, and the problems of reorgan- ization and Bolshevization, Comrades Markoff, Spector, Gurevich, Weisberg, Kreas and Schuchman spoke against endorsing the recent C. I. cable un- til they had further information. Their speeches took the form of a proposal to strike paragraph four out of the resolution, which was intro- 7th Assembly District 25th Aldermanic District 29th Aldermanic District ly District FRIDAY, OCTOBER 23rd— BROWNSVILLE, Stone Ave., cor.

To Savé THE DAILY WORKER WORKERS PARTY: IN NEW HAVEN ELECTION FIGHT Slate of Communists Against Labor Foes. {Special to The Dally Worker) NEW HAVEN, Conn., Oct. 19.— Local New Haven has filed the ne- cessary amount of signatures with the state secretary at Hartford for the municipal election in the city of New Haven, Last year the workers of New Haven had an opportunity to vote for the state ticket of the Workers Party and this year for the municipal ticket. Good List of Workers The ticket consists of workers well known in New Haven. For Mayor, R. S. Kling is put up, born in. New Haven, a laundry driver who organ- ized the laundry workers’ union re- cently and whose record as a machin- ist is paved with blacklisting for or- ganization work. For controller, Abraham Horwitz, member of Carpenters’ Union 1742, with a long record of servicé in an off cial position in the union. For treas- urer, Joseph Schlossberg, a structural iron worker. For city clerk, Rose Markle, needle trades worker, who was arrested recently for distribution of literature to the Shelton textile workers, For collector, Joseph Joffe, a worker in a watch making establish- ment. Opposed to the Workers (Commun- ist) party candidates will be the re- publicans, democrats, and socialists. The democrats now in office have re- nominated their entire slate with the exception of mayor, the candidate for president of the *board of aldermen being the president at the same time of the New Haven Trades Council, showing the close relations between the democratic party and the labor leaders, The republican forces have not yet made their nominations, a fight being on between the local Ullman machine and the Willard group which is the local expression of the state control- ling Roraback’ machine—but the out- come will not help the workers any. The socialists are led by one who is the chairman of the Workmen's Circle district committee, who. has stooped to all methods to discredit the Communists and who is accused by the workers of the city of supply- ing the capitalist press with material against, the Commanisty. The Workers (Communist) Party ticket is the only ticket in the field which, represents the real interests of the’working class of the city. DAILY WORKER BOOSTER WANTS RELIEF CLUB ORGANIZED TO AID _ DAILY THRU FINANCIAL STRESS Dear Comrades: ‘ Is it not possible that we can form aiclub ‘or combination to help our good friend, the DAILY WORKER, over its financial trouble, or to form a’ relief committee of unlimited number who would give $1 per month for a set time to be agreed upon? I would suggest a period of 12 months. Our éxperience in the cause dates back to the exil days of 1870-71, when that demon the Marquis de Gallifet, murdered 40,000 of our good people in Paris, France. At present we find+ _ that there are many countries repeat- ing the act of Gallifet by the slaughter of innocent people in Italy, Spain, Roumania, Germany, et al, and it may be our turn next, when the iron lreel will become a fact.
