To encourage submission and keep the workers quiet under new schemes of rationalization, Cadillac has a “Legion of Honor,” a group of men and women who “have dis- tinguished themselves by their loy- alty to the enterprise.” Gold watches are given to those who have been good slaves for 10 years, and silver medals to those who have been obe- dient and quiet for 5 5 years.

FROM “AZURE CITIES” ich Buzheninoy, home to recuperate from a ner- yous breakdown incurred while a student in the Moscow School of Architecture, falls in love with Nadezhda (Nadya) Ivanovna, his old mother’s ward and the sole support of the household. He spends much time brooding over his plans for rebuilding Moscow ~—the Azure City—on the ruins of the past. Tho Nadya does not re- turn his love, the town gossips about them. Utyovkin, office manager of the place where Nadya works, who has been rejected by her, is very jealous of Buzheninov. An old Red Army comrade, Kho- tyaintsev, meets Buzheninov one day and the latter talks ardently of the days of the past, express- ing his disgust with the prosaic life of the present. Khotyaintsev tells him it requires greater cour- age to do the everyday tasks than to rush against an enemy in bat- tle.

Then, like a thief, he stole into Nadya’s room, snatched her photograph from the dresser, and everything in him was shaken.

And the attacks upon the standards of the working youth, which rationalization makes neces- sary, bring about the worsening of the conditions of the young workers, We \bring about a desire on the part of the young workers to resist and to struggle against these attacks, and consequently affects their radicali- zation. This general process also intensi- fies the class differentiations, both economical and ideological, between The Work of the Communist Youth Movement }in the conditions of our work. It was in this sense that we spoke at the December plenum and to a greater tent even, we have to speak at the present time. This does not mean that the young work- ers in the United States are already radicalized. This does not mean that the majority of the toiling youth |in this country are no longer poli- tically apathetic. It does not mean that we can longer give the char. acterization of the young workers as being politically apathetic which we gave one and a half years or two ye ago, and content ourselves with that. We must see what has happened which is new in the situ- ation is what I have just described. While this process has not yet affected all the young workers, the | process is general, but the results ,have not been achieved in all sec- tions of young workers, the results have already been shown among some sections of young workers, these ults are indications of the direction in which the general pro- cess is heading and it is on these results and on this general process | that we must concentrate, that we| mst orientate our league. (To Be Continued) the government officers also jailed several “suspects.” Large quantities of literature were carted away by the authorities as well as all the money that could be found in the headquarters, POLICE FIGHT SILK STRIKERS Wilkes-Barre Workers Hold Lines Firm (Wireless to the Daily Worker) WILKES-BARRE, Pa., March 27. —The elaborate strikebreaking ma- chinery placed at the disposal of all employers throughout Pennsylvania is also serving well the owners of the Wilkes-Barre Weaving Co., whose workers are on strike for ree- ognition of their union and wage raises. Not a striker is permitted any- where within 500 feet of the plant tied up by the strike, and organizers of the National Textile Workers Union are allowed nowhere near the place. Strike Ranks Grow. Despite this and even worse acts of terror, the strike ranks have been augmented. The night shift is still out 100 per cent and the day shift is rapidly being won over to the | strike. Police on horses and on motor- cycles flood the street where the plant is located, flinging around vile oaths, threatening to ride over the nounced that more raids will he un- the young workers and the non- working youth. We know that in the United States in the past large sections of the youth did not have what we can call a proletarian orien- tation; that is, they did not orien- tate towards industry, but rather towards clerical occupations, because they filled a large portion of these occupations. This is now changed. The orientation of the youth is changed. The differentiation in the ranks of the youth is made sharp| and the general process of the de- velopment of class-consciousness of the young workers is greatly ac- celerated. nez.

The light fell on a heap of rubbish. rusty iron and broken dishes. Buzheninov passed the heap and saw Utyovkin in the window, rolling his cigarettes --it seemed that he was hurrying ewhere. He was in cap with a civilian band around it, without a cockade, with a canvas top. His lips, used in licking the cigarettes, smiled under the big, wavy nose—a self-satisfied grin ran from one cor- ner of the mouth to the other. Utyovkin cleverly twisted the ends of the rolled cigarettes, put the cigarettes in a case, lighted the last one at the lamp, straightened his cap, picked up a cane from the table, swung it, and blew into the lamp chimney.

The night grew lighter. Beyond the fields the half-moon rose from the July mist, and the gloomy shadows of the roofs stretched over the town. At last Buzheninov found Utyovkin. The latter stood near the Maslovs’ orchard, leaning back- ward on his cane—his cap on the nape of his neck. His mouth was open, as if he were choking. “Oh, how foolish,” Utyovkin ut- tered either to himself or to Buz- heninovy, who was approaching (in the shadow of a locust) with teeth pressed together, and hand hidden behind his back—‘and what a rot- ter this Nadka is. ...
