WL, ACTIVITY Prosecution Attempts Fail Again CROUCH By PAU The military authorities are des perate. They have spent millions 20 lure young workers into the “Citi- zen’s Military Training Camp: The capitalist press has been mobi- ized in the service of capitalist militarism. The campaign was suc- zessful. Thousands of young work- ars were deceived by promise of a “vacation”, and the attraction of the uniform. They came to the camps like sheep, y ant that they were ained t murder other workers for the prof ts of their own ters. Yet the angry outbursts the military authorities are not cries of vic sory. What has happened? Medal for Jingo Essay. At Fort Hancock, New York, a medal has been offered for the best 3ssay on how to combat Communist propaganda. Officers there and at many other camps have oted ong lectures in their efforts de- geive the young workers, and to build up a jingo spirit in their des perate attempt to fight the revolu- tionary message of working-class solidarity being brought to the arm- ed forces by the Young Workers Communist League. The offer of prizes for ways to combat Communism will be without suecess. All the medals of the capi- talist state cannot produce any es- say telling how to stop the spread of Communism in the armed forces. The very fact that the war depa: ment, with its millions of dollars, nuge printing presses and thousands of “chaplains” and other propagan: jists, is frightened by mime graphed camp papers and the activi- ties of a very small but militant group of young workers is of the greatest significance. Prosecution of Y. W. L. An investigation is being conduc- ted by the military “intelligence” service of the army, and the depart- ment of justice has announced that t will propose special laws against the anti-militarist work of the young Communists. John Porter has been sent to Fort Leavenworth, Kansas, with the purpose of separ- ating him from the Communists in New York and to subject him to the orutal tyranny of Col. William (Wild Bill) Morrow, the present commandant, who was in command of Alcatrez when Walter Trumbull and the writer were imprisoned there. League Members Defy Army. The military authorities are well aware of the fact that there is no federal law under which they can in- terfere with the anti-militarist work of the Young Workers (Communist) League. At Camp Devens, Mass., League members told the officers) that “we have a right to distribute papers to the soldiers and we will continue to do so”. At the National Guard Camp, near Chicago, 17 league members were arrested and the capitalist press began premature rejoicing at the “prosecution” of the young Communists, but the author- ities had to release the League members without trial. ‘ Will Intensify Efforts. 1 Whether threats or actual terror is ysed by the army czars, the Young {Workers (Communist) League will gontinue its struggle against capit- Alist militarism. The desperation of the war department when anti-mili- #arist work in this country is just beginning is anothers evidence that lass consciousness in the armed forces is a fatal blow to imperialism.

Despite Levin’s protests that a permit had been obtained for the meeting and that he is certain of being able to conduct an orderly meeting, the detective, who by this time had been reinforced by a whole, squad of police, mounted the plat- form and ordered the assemblage to disperse.

Mass meetings are being arranged to be held in all parts of the city, to acquaint the workers everywhere with the struggle of the miners, with the Lewis betrayals, with the efforts to build a strong, powerful, new Miners Union that will be a mighty weapon in the hands of the 800,000 miners, and the workers in MARINES SCORE USE BY WALL ST. “Risky” to Fight For!

However, he says “it is pretty risky and it’s not done often. But they have their talks now and then.” The letter, in part, follows: “They ‘the marines) didn’t seem to like the idea of going down there to fight, and there was talk on the ship about a bunch of them desert- American n nes statwne Allies of the Kuomintang Murderers troops are reported to be advancing against the city.
