Z. FOSTER The the Labor Banks and Investment Companies of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers Collapse of Here is a record of trade union treachery without equal in American Labor history. It is a story of crooked leadership; disas- | trous policies ; looting of the treasury; rifling the union insurance funds and_ pension A most astounding account of events that nearly wrecked one of the great American trade unions and resulted in the loss of over twenty million dollars from the funds of the railroad workers. The story is\ | written from authentic documents and official records | of the Engineers’ convention which last@d for seven weeks. “Wrecking the Labor Banks” stands out as one of the most dramatic exposures of the dangers of class collaboration ever written.

S. YOUNG COMRADE SECTION Treasury, Defend the Soviet Unian Johnny Red was reading the story of Aladdin and His Wenderful Lamp. He had read about the Genii who would appear whenever the magic !amp was rubbed. This great, hig Genii co lo any- thing he wanted. He could move moun empty seas and even carry castles in the ai He could swim under the water like a fish, and he could fly in the air like a bird. This wonderful Genii re- minded Johnny Red of something; he didn’t know what. But Johnny Red was tired. He had beer to a Pioneer meeting the night before and had stayed out later than usual. At this meeting he had been assigned to lead a discussion at the next me on the tenth anniversary of the Soviet Union ny Red was proud that he was to lead this sion and this was in his mind all the time. But as we said before Johnny Red was very ti His eyes were beginning to close and his head was beginning to droop. The book is now slipping from his fingers. It drops with a crash! Johnny jumps up startled. He rubs his eyes and lo and hehold before him stands a great big powerful giant just like the one he read about in the book, “Who are you?” asked Johnny Red, with a voice full of surprise. “Who am I?” answered the giant, “why I am the Soviet Union and I have come to you to tell you my story so that you could lead the discussion in D9 your Pioneer group. Are you ready to listen? Johnny Red could have jumped for joy. He quick- ly raised his hand in Pioneer salute and answered “Comrade Soviet Union, for you I am always ready.” Comrade Soviet Union took cut his pipe filled it with tobacco, scratched a match and began to smoke. He sat down upon the floor and started. “You will no doubt be surprised Comrade Johnny, when I tell vou that I am only ten years old: never. theless that is true and my tenth birthday is being celebrated by workers throuout the world. I will tell you a little bit about my birth, “T was born in Russia which consists of 1-6th of the land surface of the world. This big rich country was ruled by a cruel czar, wealthy landlords and capitalists. The people, especially the workers and poor farmers were cruelly oppressed. Those who produced amost everything received almost noth- ing. Anyone who protested was beaten, -killed or exiled to Siheria. But this did npt help. Conditions grew worse and worse. The soldiers were refusing to continue to fight the battles of the bosses. The peasants were demanding land; the workers were begging for bread. This could not last much longer The conditions were becoming more and more ripe for a revolution, The Communist Party under the jeadership cf our beloved leader Nicholai Lenin was working with all its might to organize and prepare the workers. Then one fine day, ten years ago it happened. The people arose and revolted. They formed Soviets consisting of workers of ull trades thruout Russia. After a short period Kercns! kis fake workers’ government was overthrown 2 a Workers’ and Farme government fcrmed. It was then that I, Soviet Union, was born, Do not think C Johnny that I was a mrade so big and strong as I am now. Oh, n-o quite a time after T was very weak. The Union was attacked on all sides. At one time on 23 fronts by banc who were financed by the nobles whose land turned over to the peasants. Some of those generals were financed by the gov- ernments of European countrics and America not only gave money but also sent troops in or help to put the bosses back inte power. them all. T » the blockade, The cap E refused to food, clothing, medicine er anything to get into Ru 1, Besides this, because of no rain ‘the wheat crops were spoiled. Mundreds died; I was very weak then, Ten years have passed, Today I am as strong ! Pee » ox, and afraid of no one. It would take too o tell you all the things that have happened in my short life; but there are a few things Just a few days ago a law was ed in the Soviet Union making the official wi day as seven hours. The Soviet Union is the first and only country in the world to do this. The reason is quite plain. It is the only workers’ government in the world and therefore it is natural for such a rovernment to help the workers as much as pos- ible. Dent you think so? “And tha t Altho the workers of Ru have gained so much the children of the workers have gained the most. NO CHILD LABOR, INTY OF SCHOOLS, PARKS, CAMPS. REST HOMES, LIBRARIES, AND EVERYTHING to de- velop strong, healthy and intelligent chiidren. While ountries there is poverty and misery children, in the Soviet Union there lor to me 1 must tell you. pa. capitalists of the world b long hoped that I would die. ne their hopes were in vain; and s me and haye ship of the capitalist go snment of England se are dete ed to attack me.

The entire room was full of smoke. Everything seemed hazy to Johnny Red. He was be- coming drowsy. He could no longer see “omrade Soviet Russia, but he could hear him saying, “We must get up and defend the Soviet Uniou'” Thtse words kept on ringing in his ezr We must get up! We must get up! He felt his hand twitch. It twitched again. Ge* up! was still ring- ing. Another and another twitch and Johnny Red opened his cyes. “Get up Johnny and go to be},” said his Rosie Red, who was standing beside hitn and pul) or his sleeve. “You musta been dveamiag. Johnnie,” ‘ inred Ro “cause you had a smile on your face all the time.” Johnny rubbed his eyes. “Yes, it musta been a dream, IT guess,” he sa but I wouldn't want to have missed it for the world.” Johnny Red led the discussion 2¢ the next Picneer meeting Everybody was astonished at all the in- fcrmation he had and they all woadere-| why Johnny Red_was smiling.
