ICT PIONEER CONVENTION THOMPSON, Hight, 26, 27 and 28. It will open with a splendid Young Pioneer review at the Workers’ Lyceum, 2733 Hirsch Blvd., Friday, November 26. Important Event, The onvention is an important event in the life of the. Pioneer move- | first step towards a consolidated, cen- | ment in this district. It marks the tralized organization ready to partic-+ ipate in and lead the struggles of the working class children, ready to train its members into real fighters and future leaders of the working class, The party has hitherto paid very little attention—if any at all—to the Young Pioneers. The work of build- ing and maintaining the Pioneers was left entirely in the hands of the Young Workers League. Even where the league was very weak the party seldom lent a helping hand. This situa- tion must be changed. Should Have Support. The Pioneer corivention and the af- fair preceding it should receive the fullest support and co-operation of every party member. s Party members can help by selling tickets for the affair to friends and sympathizers, and by being present at the affair. -Party moepibers ehoule also be present at the sessions of the convention and in this way get ac- quainted with the work and the prob- lems of the Young Pioneers. It is high time for the party and league members to get out of the “ad- miration” stage and some forward with some rea] supportand co-opera- tion for the Young Pioneers. Come to the opening, Friday, Nov. 26, 7:30 p. m., Workers’ Lyceum, 2733 Hirsch Blvd., Chicago. * A splendid program has jbeen ar- ranged by the Pioneers—plays, ta- bleaux, music, and other featues, N.Y, Meeting Delayed, The announced membership meet- ing of the New York Young Workers League for Tuesday, Nov. 23rd has been unavoidably delayed. KELLOGG HAS ‘BLACKLIST OF BAD RUSSIANS’ Relies on Judgment of Underling » WASHINGTON, Nov. 23.—That Sec- retary of State Kellogg relies upon a “blacklist of bad Russians,” prepared by Robert F. Kelley, chief of the di- vision of eastern European affairs, for excluding Russians from the United States is revealed in the Mme. Kal- lontai case, Kelley was once stationed at Riga and there prepared the: “blacklist” from his “observations,” it was said. Kellogg relies entirely on this list, and anyone whose name appéars on it is summarily barred. Not Impartial. The contention of Kellogg ‘on her barring that he is “enforcing the law against radicals without partiality or favor” is disputed by representatives of Russian business organizations. The Amtorg Trading Corporation has said that it has an agreement with Kellogg by which any person O. K.'d by them is allowed admittance with- out further questions. But; of course, it is pointed out, Mme, Kallontai did not want to come here to buy goods.

Smith, engineer of the C, & N, W, train which erashed into another train on Labor Day, killing seven people and injuring many more, was exonerated from criminal respon- sibility when the grand jury, to whom Smith had been bound over by the coroner’s jury on a manslaughter charge, voted no bill.

Unity of Bakers Is Asked to Counteract Solidarity of Bosses NEW YORK, Noy, 22. — A United | Front Council of bakers, now affiliated with two separate unions, the Amalga- mated Food Workers and the Bakery and Confectionery Workers’ Interna- tional Union of the American Federa tion of Labor, has called a meeting at Cooper Union at 1:30 p, m. Satudray when speakers representing both un- igns will discuss the unity to be ought among bakery workers and generally advocating organizing the unorganized, The/United Council is made’ up of delegates from locals of both unions and has now been at work for several weeks on the question of united ac- tion to oppose the united front offered by the large baking companies. It is pointed out that the skilled journey- men baker is being replaced by un- skilled workers and that the smali union bakery is being slowly but surely pushed out of business by the large non-union plants. The unions now control only the small shops, and their elimination threatens the very Nite of the two unions, Admission to the Cooper Union meeting is free and those interested in the labor movement are invited to attend, U. S. Cotton Yield Exceeds Last Year WASHINGTON, } Nov. 23. — The United States will have a cotton crop of 18,399,000 bales of 500 pounds gross weight, the crop reporting board of the department of agriculture announced today, The estimate was based on reports up to Nov, 14. The yield per acre will be 186.3 pounds, as compared with 167.2 pounds last year. Fire Destroys School Here; Children Escape Four hundred children were marched to safety today before fire virtually destroyed the old Gresham Branch School in Chicago. Musicians Wanted for Orchestra, The Variety Art Club is organizing a symphony orchestra which will offer to play at concerts given by radical and other friendly groups-in the Chi- cago district. This will afford excel- lent training to musicians of any in- strument. The club is also attempt- ing to gather a staff of entertainers, but will need co-operation, Friends are invited to make use of the facili- tiles of the club, free, Musicians and entertainers who wish to assist may write to the Va- riety Art Club, 2837 North Whipple street, Chicago, Five Lost on Burning Boat, MONTREAL, Nov, 23, — Five lives are believed to have been lost as the result of a fire today which destroyed the steamship Montreal, crack St, Lawrence river boat of the Canada Steamship lines, as she (pai d St. Jobeph de Sorel on het’ way from Montreal to Quebeo, — Chicago, are holding their first YOUTH SECTIONS By NAT KAPLAN, From Los Angeles we have received the news that the Bricklayers’ Local Union, No, ® has organized about 65 young boys working as bricklayers’ apprentices into a special youth sec- tion of the union known as the Asso- ciated Apprentice Bricklayers. The president of the apprentices organiza- tion, Jack Quinen announced, that they “have launched an inovation that in a short time will be a movement of national scope.” In Philadelphia there is an attempt to sponsor the indiscriminate organiza- tion of youth clubs for certain indus- tries which does not realistically take into account whether the union of the industry can be won over to organize this youth. Other examples of a similiar nature can be mentioned, To a certain extent there is a tendency both inside and outside the Commun- wt Youth Movement to organize the youth economically thru special youth sections of the trade unions. We must ask ourselves are these forms in the best interest of the working class movement? _Reject Youth Section. The 4th congress of the Young Com- munist International stated: “The formation of youth sections in’ the trade uniong ig to be particularly re- jected because the division between the young and adult workers, is in- creased thereby,” When the French league pointed out at the time that they can use the youth sections to fight the syndicalist youth, the con- gress answered that even from this tactical point of view the creation of youth sections serves no useful pur- pose, Youth sections are not in the best interests of our movement, or of the | worksug class, The relative backward- nest of the American working class is one argument why youth sections | shall not be organized. Class divisions are becoming sharper in America and a homogeneous working class is in the making. This process must be pushed forward. That is why the tac- tic of the united front which forces the working class into unified action is the paramount tactic of the hour. The party/issues slogans to unify the work- ing class: Organize the unorganized, a labor’ party in 1928, ete. On the other hand the capitalists consciously strive to separate the working class. They bribe sections of the aristocracy of labor with better conditions. They play up national, racial and religious prejudices, etc, Unity of Young and Adult Workers The struggles for the special inter- asts of the youth are not separate and apart from struggles of the adult workers—from the general class strug- gle. The working youth will only then be emancipated from wage slavery when they unite their efforts with the adult workers in a general struggle against the capitalist order. That is why the league is politically subordinate to the party, That is why Wwe must use judgement in adopting youth organizational forms in the mass movements of the working class. Youth sections are to be rejected because they are not in line with the idea of a unified working class. They will separate the youth from adult workers, They divide the trade unions into youth and adult sections in face of the united opposition of the bosses and its instrument, the government. Under this form youth issues will not j readily become the issues of the en- tire union but only of its youth sec- tion and hence will be still born. The bosses and their agents in the labor movement—the trade union bureaucracy—can be won over to the idea of youth sections (note the Los Angeles Bricklayers, etc.) They will jump at any pretext to keep the youth out of the bona fide unions, IN TRADE UNIONS The league has had some experience on this matter, On June 18, 1923 the Young Workers League issued an open letter to Gompers on the question of organizing the unorganized youth (we had a special conference with him on this matter). In this letter we stated that altho “seperate young® workers’ unions within the A, F. of L, are unnecessary and out of the question” we went on to demand “That there be created in the. A. F, ‘of L, a special Young Workers Bureau or secretariat for the purpose of stim- ulating the trade union education and organization of young workers.” Gompers Cracks One. The EB, C. Y, C.1,,pointed out to us at the time that this demand would defeat the aim we had in mind, Such a bureau in the hands Of the reaction- ary Gompers could be used to organize youth sections and still further separ- ate the youth from the adult workers, etc. That this was likely could be seen by the attitude of Gompers at our conference. He said to us in ef- fect, “If you are against the principle of child labor, why do you want the International Unions to lower the barriers against the ,admission of these youthful workers into the ranks.” May he rest in peace. We must not become dogmatists and hold up the slogan of no youth sections as an eternal principle. We must strive to find newer approaches, methods and organizational forms, which will make our work of organ- izing the unorganized young workers easier. For instance the plumbers’ helpers in New York City who are point blank refused admittance into the union of the trade were correct in organizing a plumbers’ helpers’ club and fighting for admission into the union. If the union persists in. its narrow craft conception and continues to refuse admittance to the helpers they should by all means, organize themselves into a union, seek a char- ter and continue to fight for admit- tance as a body into the plumbers’ union or else they will remain un- organized and their club will decay. This is quite another matter from taking the initiative in creating youth sections of the trade unions and spe- cial youth unions when this cam be avoided. Young Paper Box Strikers Join League NEW YORK CITY—Several hun- dred young paper box strikers attend- ed an affair given by Section One of the Young Workers (Communist) League in honor of these strikers. There was a lively entertainment ar- ranged which included numbers from an orchestra. The young strikers as well as other young workers had a great time, Quite a number of the young paper box strikers joined the Young Workers (Communist) League at this affair. e Washington League Ball Proves Big Success, WASHINGTON, D. C., — A ball un- der the auspices of the Y. W. L. was held here a short time ago, It drew. one of the biggest crowds of young workers that has ever shown up to an affair arranged by the league in the past. The moral and organize- tional success of this ball can be seen in fact, that about a hundred names and addresses of young workers were gathered there, which will undoubted- ly be utilized by the league. Besides this, the profits off this ball enabled the league to send $35.00 to the na- tional office for work among the young miners, Why don’t you write It up?
