URING the month of August, 1608 party members paid the United Labor Ticket Assessment, leaving something like 6,000 party mem- bers who have not paid the assessment. Thus far the national office has depended upon the voluntary action of the nuclei secretaries to secure the collection and remittance of the aSsessment. be made by our party functionaries. This method has falled to secure a response such as should The collection of the balance of the assessment cannot be given up. The complete collection and settlement is a matter which Involves the functioning of the party organization too serlously to close the matter with the assessment fund in its present status. The lists of the secretaries who recelved stamps and have not been settled for are being turned over to the district organizers with Instruc- tlon to secure a report from every comrade who received these stamps. Those comrades who have not given the collection of the assessment the attention they should have, as responsible party functionaries, can save the district organizers a considerable amount of time and work by taking action to clear their record immediately. The slogan now Is: EVERY STAMP MUST BE ACCOUNTED FOR! EVERY SECRETARY WHO RECEIVED STAMPS WILL BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR AN ACCOUNTING OF THE STAMPS HE RE- CEIVED.

L., Sept. 1. — State constabulary are guarding the Man- ville-Jenckes mill here following a pitched battle yesterday between mill strikers, numbering over 1,000 men and women, and constabulary when strikers heard that scabs were being brought in by armored cars, The strikers stoned the mill and rushed the mill gates, and when the mill superintendent, Sweet, threaten- ed the strikers with a revolver, he was rushed by the strikers and se- verely beaten before the state troop- ers could rescue him. ee Sympathetic Strike to Tie Up Manville Jenckes Providence, R. I.—((F.P.)—Work- ers of two other Manville-Jenckes mills are ready to join the strike of the thousand cotton textile workers at the Manville plant if the grievances are not adjusted within a few days. The Manville workers went out when the firm refused ‘to discharge non-union loomfixers taken on after the plant's closing had laid off union workers. Globe mill workers and Soxial mill workers of the same firm threaten sympathetic action under their union officials. The workers are organized in the United Textile Workers, Fed- eral conciliator Richard D. Brown is trying to patch up the trouble be- tween the workers and mill manage- ment.

Rangel and a number of his compatriots, had pre- pared a small expedition to join the Mexican fighters for liberation against the despotic Diaz government. The expedition was pursued by Texas of- ficials and finally seized. A spy, Ortiz by name, was found tied to a tree, dead. There was no evidence to show who had killed him, but.Rangel and Cline, together with the other mem- bers of the expedition who had been captured were tried and sentenced to barbarously long terms of imprison- ment, Filmsy Evidence. Cline wrote at that time: “The charge was conspiracy to murder; of having conspired to kill a man whom I never saw and never communicated with in any shape, form of fashion; count not even speak his language: but I was tried as a principal; tried on flimsy circumstantial eyidence. “The defense proved that I was no- where near the place, had;never seen the man nor spoken to him, nor had any communication with him whatso- ever, At the first trial they could not get a jury, On the change’ of venue to San Antonio, on the first trial the jury disagreed. On the second trial I was convicted. Three Trials. “On an appeal, a plea of ‘former jeopardy’ was raised and the convic- tion was reversed in twenty-five days.

(Continued from page 1) was placed on the unfair list by the organized workers of Collinsville, Illi- nois, because he issued an injunction against the miners in that region, Farrington Defends Injunction. HE injunction was issued at the request of the Lumaghi Coal com- pany. But Farirngton issued a cir- cular, which was published in full in The DAILY WORKER vf Oct. 13, 1924, defending Judge Hadley by explaining that the injunction was not against the miners who were on strike, but against the officers of other locals, restraining them from calling their men out in sympathy with their fel- low workers, Farrington had not a word of criticism of the injunction. This was ‘his first known public ap- pearance in the political field on be- half of his masters. But it was not his last. In view of the attack made by Far- rington on the sub-district president who charged one dollar a day for ho- tel expense, his own expense accounts while a member of the international executive board will prove interesting reading. During the year 1913 his expense ac- count reached the grand total of $4,018.25 while the expenses) of. John P. White and Frank J. Hayes com- bined were only $3,953.63, or $64.63 less than that of Farrington, Farrington’s first essay in ‘the role of strikebreaker was in the year 1915, when he was sent to Vancouver, B, C. to take charge of a strike in that dis- trict. His headquarters were in Seat- tle, and it is reported that most of the money contributed by the Interna- tional Union for the support of the strike never got nearer the strikers than Farrington’s suite of rooms in a Seattle hotel, There is a record of a speech deli- vered by this strikebreaker before a meeting of the Trades and Labor Council of Nanimo, B, C. in which he denounces the strikers for getting ar- rested, calling them fools for not keep- ing their mouths shut. His handling of the Vancouver strike, no doubt pu him in the good graces of the Illinois coal operators as we find the coal barons quietly pushing Farrington on his return from Vancouver and groom- ing him for the position which he oc- cuptes today.

Wanted every day and evening this week from Volunteers Give Your Services! | CONDUCTED = BY TH September 3 is International Youth Day. On the 11th Internationa® Youth Day let us briefly review the history of our world youth movement. The Young Communist International was founded on the 20th of November, 1919, at its Berlin conference. The working class youth movement, how- ever, from which the Young Commun- ist International sprung, commenced much earlier-at the end of the previous century. The immediate predecessor of the Y. C. I. was the International Relations Committee of the socialist youth organizations founded at Stutt- gart in 1907. Altho opportunism was growing and getting stronger at the time this organization had in the be- ginning a completely revolutionary character. The leaders of this’ organ- ization were, Karl Liebknecht, Rolland Holst and Alberi, who were the rep- resentatives of the left wing of the Second International and who later be- come Communists. Education Thru Struggle, Thea principles on which these youth organizations were founded centered around the fact that the socialist edu- cation of the youth could be carried on only by active participation in the class struggle and by calling to the working youth of all countries to join the struggle against militarism and against their economic exploitation. It was for this reason that opportun- ism was compelled to carry on a strug: gle against the independent prole- tarlan youth organizations. In Ger- many where this action of the oppor- tunists was most successful, the revo- lutionary. content of the Stuttgart Congress decisions had already been shoved aside in the years 1908-10 and replaced by the opportunist method of educating the youth. Instead of the class struggle activity there came a purely cultural activity carried on by capitalist methods. However, a num- ber of leagues (Italy, Sweden, Norway, Switzerland, etc.) re- tained their independence from the opportunists and took an active part with the left wing of the working class movement in the class struggle. In Germany also even before the be- ginning of the world war an opposition was growing up inside the “working youth.” And'in this was given the basis of the future split of the prole- tarian youth movement, The Copenhagen Congress. The spirit of opportunism could be felt at this time also in the question of international relations. The Youth International was also a loose con- nection of national organizations (the whole working class movement was confined to its national boundaries at the time). At the Copenhagen Con- gress in 1910, the vital question of the relations of the youth to the party was dealt with, but no international directives were issued as at the Sutt- WODKEDS ING WORKERS LEAGUE. - History of International Youth Day _ , : gart Congress, A resolution was pasa ed which said nothing definite and req mained on paper. This same con4 gress elected Mr. Danneberg of th Austrian Socialist Youth as the int national secretary. ‘This gentlem: saw his ‘highest duty in non-actt and a sabotage of the internation work. | Betrayal of Social Democrate. 4 ‘With the coming of, the world the political and economic situation the working youth was tremendou worsened, The betrayal of the 60 democrats (their support of the war, completely -exposed the opportunist! character of the overwhelming majoriq ty of the socialist parties and the Second International. This was tha signal for the fight to organize a revoq lutionary youth ‘international, The proletarian youth organizations, tow gether with the German opposition re established the international orate tion at the Berne conferenee in 191 and commenced a struggle against thd war and against social patriotism/ Apart from a few points upon which st was unclear, for instance the questiom of disarmament, the youth interna. tions] during the war maintained # revolutionary international position and in this action it rendered the workers’ movement an historica] serve ice, It was this conference in Berne,, Switzerland, in 1915 which decided te set aside September 3 as the Internar tional Day of Youth for demonstra tions against the capitalist war an the worsened political and economia situation of the young workers, Birth of Y. C. 1. Between 1915 and 1919 the prolee tarian youth organizations which stood on the revolutionary basis had to car- ry on the pioneer political work in many countries which would lay the basis for the future Communist pare ties. By 1919 the situation was ripe for the creation of the present Young: Communist International which shows ed definitely in its program the tasks of the revolutionary youth organiza.’ tions in the epoch of the struggle fom power and made the youth interna, tional into a centralized, consolidated’ organization—the international gene eral staff of the young -workers, And so International Youth Day has its birth in 1915 in the midst of the world war and is given strength and impetus thru the creation of the mighty Young Communist Internar tional four years later. The American section of the Young Comunist Inter natiénal, the Young Workers (Come munist) League of America greets its international organization on this 11th International Youth Day with young workers’ demonstrations from the At- lantic to the Pacific Ocean. We are determined to carry on the “hard everyday work” which will mould us into a mass Young Communist League of the American working youth, The Workers’ Children In Camp By FANNY PLOTKIN. The Young Pioneer Training Camp now being run in Illinois is one of the geratest achievements for the district. It is not only a camp, but a training ground for future leaders, The camp is not only to give a group of Pioneers an enjoyable time, but to make every- one of them future organizers. We have succeeded in this, We have made every Pioneer who has been’ at camp realize the importance of the slogan, “Organize the unorganized working class children!” We have done a great deal to start work in many of the smaller cities in the dis- trict as Maywood, Hammond and Waukegan. The children of these small towns are going back with a broader viewpoint of the movement /8 p. than they have ever had. Discipline is one of the points greatly stressed at camp. The lack of Communist discipline is the thing which has caused many of our groups to end as failures. This will be stop- | ¢: ped now. The children who have been at camp will act as a nucleus in all groups to help them grow up with the correct Communist under- standing towards all problems they will be faced with, Another thing that they have learn- ed is the correct way to discipline | ,, comrades-who have disobeyed instruc- tions. Instead of making these com- rades wash dishes or stay out of sports they have hit upon the true Communist way of punishment. They tell the disciplined comrades to read up on Lenin, Liebknecht, or other |™ working class leaders and tell the story of their lives to their nightly educational meeting before the camp- fire. Important working class anni- versaries are also discussed in this manner. This brings a new spirit in the work—it helps to develop the comrades in every way. This year’s camp is almost over. What is our next task? We must get the working class parents to support such acamp. We must setart to raise a camp fund so that we can have a bigger and better camp next year. It was the work of a few comrades which placed this camp on the map as one of our achievements. We niust have every comrade join in working for the camp for the coming year.
