Street Sweepers’ Union and intimate crony of “Big Tim” Murphy, was ques- tioned by Chicago police as to the movements of his pal, Frank Cremaldi, on the night that the latter was shot by rival bootleggers. Frank Cremaldi, who furnished Gold Coast residents with Canadian booze, was found in Leyden township with a siik bandage over his eyes and with three shots in the head and one in the hip. Cremaldi was one of the Capone- Torrio gang lieutenants and was their political chieftain in the 22nd street and Wabash avenue district. Cremaldi was tried in Detroit for a murder, but as he succeeded in marrying the star witness for the state the case against him was dropped. He then came to Chicago and lined up with the Capone-Torrio booze ring. He also became intimately connected with Mike Carozzo of the Street Sweepers’ Union. At one time when he was arrested for bootlegging he asked the police sergeant for the privi- lege of calling up Mike Carrozzo on leng distance to have “things fixed” for him. Carrozzo is one of the old party henchmen.

Members on the Job. Members of the local eat lunch in the shops early and go to the scab shops during the noon hour to speak to the nonunion workers. Two of the worst scab shops, running double ma- chines, have been organized and agree- ments made. Two men work every Tuesday and Friday night for several hours, putting the names of new mem- bers into the initiation book. Not only knitters are coming into the organization, but every type of auxiliary worker in the industry— mainly women. In one shop where the union men couldn’t seem to reach he thale knitters, the auxiliary women were all organized first. Organization Drive Success, Never in the history of the organi- zation has there been such a success- ful drive. The Federation of Full Fashioned Hosiery Workers, affiliated with the United Textile Workers, re- ports activity in organizing all over the country, with hundreds of knitters and women workers coming into the organization. / In Milwaukee two locals are combin- fog to hire a business agent. In Boon- ton N. J, the local is holding large meetings of knitters and women work- ers.

S, S. R. with its enthu- siastic report about the Russian pro- letarian youth. One had but to be present at one of the overcrowded mass meetings at which the delega- tion reported in order to be convinced that the gréat lesson the young work- ers have learned from this report was that only the united front of the prole- tarian youth will make it possible for them to achieve, with the aid of adult workers, the splendid position of the toiling youth in the U. S.§, R. Every meeting closed with cheers for the united ffont or, as they call it here, the Red Youth Front. 5 The leadership of the Young Social- ist League pitflessly failed in their efforts to weaken the remarkable ef- fect of the report. Their action in expelling the young socialists who par- ticipated in the delegation worked against them like a boomerang; it rather strengthened than weakened the effect of the report; it strength- ened still more the movement for the United Proletatrian Youth Front. The Y. S. L. leaders have now, more than ever, quite a hard case to defend their position before the masses of the working youth. The young toiling masses who live in the greatest mis- ery, the’ Thousands of Young Unemployed Workers want a clear and definite and imme- diate answer, how to get rid of their difficult and unbearable conditions, how to emancipate themselves from poverty and slavery. The conditions of the German prolet youth are deplorable indeed. Only in Berlin alone there are about 25,000 un- employed young workers up to the age of 21. Nearly 50 per cent*of them aré girls. Those between the ages of 14 and 16 are even excluded from the pitifully little unemployment benefit that the others get. The misery and danger’ confronting especially the young unemployed prolets was quite well understood by the Young Work- ers’ Congress of all the proletarian organizations, held on January 10.~ it was only under the pressure of the working youth m: is that the Berlin city-deputies assembly (board of al- dermen) accepted a few of the de- mands of the congress, such as pro- viding day homes, free dinners, enter- tainments, ete. and voted for this purpose @ sum of 150,000 marks. However, the few demands granted by the C, D. A. means very little. Partly they are not as yet carried ont, and in those sections where they were already put into effect the homes, etc., are mostly mismanaged. If so little is being done for the unemployed working youth in Berlin, which is un- der the administration of the social- ists, who pretend to help the unem- ployed, then one can just imagine in what a miserable position the young workers all over Germany find them- selves, Can it therefore be wondered at why the German toiling youth is so anxiously looking for a way out of this lamentable situation? Can it be wondered at why the unity movement of the young workers is growing, in spite of the treacherous attitude of the Y. S. L. leadership? It is only at the cost of unheard of sufferings that the working youth is learning the great value of unity, and as a result more and more young prolets are join- ing the united front organization of the toiling youth. The Red Young Storm. The membership of this remarkable organization of the German toiling youth is already more than 20,000, of which only about 20 per cent are members of the Young Socialist or Communist League. The Red Young Storm, or as it is sometimes called, the Red Youth Front, is the youth section of the Red Front fighters, whose aim is to defend the working class meetings, demonstrations, etc., against the fascisti (the R. Y. S. is to fight especially the fascist: youth or- ganizations, such as the Steel Helmet Youth, Bismarck Youth, etc.), to fight against militarism, to work for the unionization of the unorganized and similar immediate tasks of the prole- tariat. is How effective the work of the R. Y. S. and the R. F, F, is can be bestyseen by the fact that they are yet more hated by the capitalist class than even the Y. C. L, or C. P. (if this is only possible), as they, by right, sym- bolize the unconquered united will and power of the working class. One had but to participate in a demonstration of the R. Y. S. of the R. F. F, to un- derstand that the fear and hatred of the bourgeoisie is fully justified. But the R. Y. S., the united front movement of the German working youth, would undoubtedly fail to achieve successfully its aim if there should not be the organization of initiative of Leninist leadership. The Young Communist League, At its last ninth congress, held in Halle in October, 1925, the Y. C. L. succeeded dn accepting a clear-cut Leninist policy of how best to lead the struggles of the German toiling youth. The stand taken by the con- gress in the Party question, fully sup- porting the Comintern; the accepted detailed program for the completion of the reorganization for trade union work, sending of the young workers’ delegation to the U. S. S. R., youth prote@tion, united front and unem- ployment policy, the improving of the mass organ, “Die Junge Garde,” and the theoretical organ, “Der Junge Bol- shewik,” ete., is being faithfully fol- lowed up by the newly-elected leader- ship. While these words are being written the Y. C. L. is preparing itself to cele- brate its 3, Tenth Jubliee, as it is already 10 years since the re- markable Jena Congress of the Ger- man revolutionary young prolets, held during Easter, 1916, where, together with Karl Liebknecht, they heralded the slogan: “War Against the Im- perialist War!” With the specially prepared film of 10 scenes about the 10 years’ activities and struggles of the German revolutionary youth, the exhibition, the jubilee button, the mass meetings, demonstrations, etc., it will most certainly be an excellent celebration, The 10th jubilee will also mark the beginning of a campaign to enroll into the Y. C. L. 100,000 new members. At present the Y. C, L. membership is about 20,000. This is due mainly to the fact that at the beginning of its development the youth movement was strongly opposed by the old socialist leadership, and it therefore could not become a mass movement, so that even the Y. S. L. membership is not more than about 60,000, while the S. P. has 844,000 members, and at the same time it must also be remembered that it was the revolutionary youth who brought the most victims during ~ the civil war. There can be no doubt that the membership campaign of the Y. C. L. will bring the best results. Every young prolet worth his salt will un- doubtedly join the Y. C. L, and be come penetrated with the spirit as expressed in the following words of a proclamation issued by the Y, C, L. when, in the days of September, 1919, the then army-minister, the socialist Noske, the murderer of Liebknecht, Luxemburg, etc. has forbidden the publication of the Communist youth Mterature: “We are the conscience and Heart of the proletarian revolu- tlon! We are unconquerable. The socialist army minister has forbidden “Die Junge Garde;” a again It is published! The social-democratic army minister has forbidden the revolution; over hie head will it come! At this hour we join our hands and utter solemnly the motto of the rebels: Revolution, thine we are!
