The failure of the League is due in the main to the failure of the Party to give direction to the work of the YCL, to the under-es- timation of the YCL within the ranks of the Party. The YCL, however, is now emerg- ing from its isolation from the young workers. The miners strike of Penn- sylvania, Ohio and West Virginia finds not only the young miners in| the forefront of the struggle, but the YCL playing a leading part in the mobilization of these miners. The strikes that have taken place in all parts of the country show splendid militancy of the young workers. These young workers, who are be- ing exploited far more than the adult workers, and especially the Negro young workers, must not be allowed to drift without leadership. The capitalists do not under-es- timate the role of the young work- ers. On the contrary, in the wage cutting and speed-up program, they figure chiefly upon the young work- ers for the putting through of their program. In their preparations for war against the Soviet Union, when they declare that they can put an army of 4,000,000 men into the field within 24 hours, they clearly have. in mind the young workers as the im- mediate cannon-fodder. The convention of the YCL, there- fore, is of tremendous significance. This convention is of importance not only to the YCL, but to the Party. All Party members must show their appreciation to the role of the YCL not only in attending the opening session at Central Opera. House, but in the day to day work, in helping the YCL to build itself up and to viceman, A. D.

THURSDAY Masx Meetin Unor Painters oyt on 4. demon: UNEMPLOYED GET HEAVY SENTENCE aeeting é a Labor Defense Is Ap- pealing Case NEW YORK, July 3.—The four unemployed workers, Perez. Cortez. Réese and Young, members of the Madison Square Unemployed Coun- cil, who were arrested Tuesday af- ter being fired on by the owner of Muller’s Employment Agency, 1209 Sixth Avenue, were given vicious sentences Thursday. Perez and Cor- tez, the first to be arrested, were sen- tenced to 30 days each, while Reese and Young, two Negro workers, were given five months each. The New York District of the Internationa! Labor Defense, which defended the workers, is appealing these sentences. Together with other members of the Madison Square Unemployed Council, the four workers went Tues- day to this racketeering employment agency and forced Muller to return $10 he had swindled out of another worker for a job that didn’t exist After paying back the money, Muller pulled out a gun and started firing, nearly hitting one worker.

His wife was scratched. The Negro tenant was pulled off to jail like a dog. Now the landlady is attempting to complete their oppression of the Negro family and declares that Mrs. McVay broke the window of her apartment and crept in to assault her. A Negro worker living in the house showed how absurd this was. The entire neighborhood is boiling \over with indignation over the rob- bing methods of the landlords, as numerous cases these past two weeks has shown them, Talk of forming Tenants Leagues in all the houses is heard everywhere.
