Democrats Figure

The next complication endanger-
ing the smooth progress of the con-
ference is-the Democratic conven-
ton
It has been hoped that the Demo
Gratis would write their platform and
rame their candidates before the
progressives assembled. That would
simplify matters, not merely in re-
spect to platform. but also on can
didates.
Should the impossible" happen,
and McAdoo drag the Democratic
nomination out of the New York
arena. a great block of the delegates
attending the Cleveland conference
would at once lose their enthusiasm
over. an independent or third-party
candidate.
This would be true especially of
the delegates representing the great
railway brotherhoods and affiliated
organizations.
McAdOO's nomination would put
before the Cleveland meeting a real
predicament and pulling problem.
Should the New York nomination,
as is unlikely, be delayed until July
or later. excuse will be found for
marking time at Cleveland until at
least Monday, July Z. before taking
up the issue of candidate.

The convention received message

Another influence exercised by the

No mention of the method of compul-

GROUPS
BACK ANTI-RED
week FIGHTERS
Children Tell HOw They
Fought Gals Dope


Resolutions pIedging support
to Comrade Rose PIotkin, who
was prosecuted by her teacher
for fighting education week, and
thanking the Young Workers
League members who cooper
ated to fight anti-Communist
education week, were unani-
mousIy passed at the last mass
meeting of the junior groups.
Thelma Kahn talked on edu-
cation week, and the children
from the various schools re-
ported on how they fought.
Tell Of Ousting.
Comrade Kahn told how the teach
ers from the Crieger school, and the
owner Of Emmett Memorial Hall, threw
the children of Minnie Lurye's group
out in the street and refused to allow
Comrade Lurye into the hall Com
rade Kahn then told how Comrade
Lurye addressed the children on the
street, while the dicks from the Crie-
ger school looked on.
When Comrade Lurye went to meet
her group in an empty lot at the cor
ner of Armitage and Taylor streets,
Sunday, to take them to the junior
mass meeting, she found a truant Off
Ger from the Crieger school there. The
truant officer sent prospective junior
home, and scared some of the others
away from the meeting. Some older
pupils were watching in butcher
shop nearby. They were sent by Miss
Tobin, browbeating principal of the
Crieger school.
One of the children who came to find
out about the juniors, told Comrade
Lurye, their teacher in the Crieger
school had told them, you will be
sent to federal court If you attend the
junior meeting. The federal court is a
place where children are punished If
they don't believe in the American
flag"
Pass Resolution Of Protest.
The resolution protesting against
the persecution of Rose Plotkin de-
clared, ut has come to the attention
of the juniors that one of the most
active members of the Chicago section
Rose Plotkin-has been made the
victim Of capitalist persecution during
national education week. Her teacher,
who successfully does whatever the
big bosses order, found out about the
junior mass meeting in her district
and she wanted to prevent all the
working class children from going to
the meeting.
''She gave all the children who
might go to the meeting extra long
and hard home work to do. Poor
Comrade Rosie couldn't go to the
meeting, and had to stay home. She
worked so hard that she got sick and
could not even go to school the next
day. And when she finally appeared
at school the teacher accused her of
missing school because of the junior
group. Not only did she not believe
our comrade, but she put Rose-the
brightest in the class-at the very
foot Of the class and then even sent
her home.
eve, the juniors of Chicago, in mass
meeting assembled, pledge our cooper
alton to Comrade Rose and pledge our
support to any comrade who gets in
to trouble because of trying to learn
the truth about our class and give our
pledge to do our part in the working
class struggle for freedom"
Both resolutions were unanimously
passed by the $50 children present.
