THE MCCARTHY BALL TEAM LOOSES THE FINEST
 AMATEUR ond. BIAS EMAN IN
 ALASKA
 We ar equite sWr9 that the Y eopls ol this town and those that are interested outside, for the pros perity of Mccarthy, will sincerely regret and sympathize with Mrs Roy Snider, whose husband met with an accident in the races on the Fourth after the ball game.
 The accident occurred in the hundred yard dash, when he trip ped and fell, and the fellow di rectly behind him, unable to ap ply the brakes in time stepped on his leg and broke his ankle. Mir. Roy Snyder, is not only the best 2nd. baseman, in the Cop per River Valley, but we can sa felv claim in the whole of Alaska He is quick to see the slightest opening in the game to the ad vantage of his side, he is level headed in the tightest of col ners he knows exactly what to do with the ball when he gets it, he is very speedy and a darn'd good batsman.
 Every moove that is made by any of the players, is long ago thought out before hand in MT. Snyders head so when the cI ance comes he is always there to take advantage of it.
 Good old Roy, be has helped to win many a game for us through his wonderful cooperation, and know. edge of the game.
 With all due regards to him, and Mrs. Snyder, the whole own of Mccarthy extends, their thanks to him, and for a speedy return to health.
 Signed) The Ball Tea n.

the youth workers will become worse

the situation by entering into every

TEN.
In anti-mihtarist work the French
Y. G. L. had carried on very success
full work. During the Ruhr occupa-
ton many nuclei were established in
the army and a regular army news
paper established. This is being pub
lished twice a month and has a cir
culation of 1000. This has resulted
in determination between the French
army and the workers in Germany.
The work of the Y. c. l. was especial
ly commended by the Comintern as
this was the first real attempt at ac-
tual work within the army. In other
countries beginning had been made
but not enough effort had been put
forth. We must concentrate and the
various N. e. c. must lay out definite
plans to extend this activity during
the next period.
The Y. c. l. has neglected one i'm
portant field of activity. Our influ-
|ence as an International is principally
upon the industrial workers while
among the peasants it is nil. This
must be remedied as we cannot hope
for a successful revolution without the
cooperation of the agrarian workers.

no longer any opposition to the nuclei.
Our principal tasks was to extend our
work along these lines. In such coun-
tries as America and Great Britain,
the organization was instructed to
build from the beginning on the basis
of nuclei. No more territorial bran
ches must be organized in any coun-
try. Experience showed the comrades
how easy it actually. was to reach
young workers when approached on
the basis of actual shop conditions
and then organize them. 1t was point
ed out however, that it was not mere
ly question Of shop fractions, but a
greater one, that of the nucleus being
the basic political unit of the organ
ization carrying on every activity at
present given to the branch, but thru
the change of form reaching the
young proletarians in the shops and
thus increasing our activities. The

no youth strike or struggle take place
es presenting their demands and fight
ing for their adoption as the demands
of the young workers. We must aim
at becoming the leaders of the young
workers in every struggle.
An energetic campaign must be
waged by all the Leagues to rally the
young workers into the trade unions.
The Leagues must fight on the basis
of 1. full rights within the union for
young workers 2. reduced initiation
and dues fees and 3. Y. G. L. fractions
within the unions. At no time must
we tolerate separate youth sections
within the trade unions. We must un-
derstand and popularize our idea that
no other separate youth organizations
are necessary as the Young Commun-
list Leagues and they alone are the
sole representative of the working
class youth. It is necessary that we
present our youth demands for adop-
ton at every occasion and within the

harmony and have our youth demands

This was especially noticeable. in
Central Europe where the problem is
of immediate Importance. All count
ries must conduct more activity
among agrarian workers and organize
them into our farm and village nuclei.
The sport problem is an important
one for the youth movement. Many
millions Of young workers are inter-
ested in the sport movement and the
capitalist class have many organiza-
tons thru which they direct their pro-
paganda under the guise of sport. 1t
is our duty to organize national work
ingclass sport organizations in opposi-
ton to the bourgeois outfits. Success
has attended the attempts in this di-
rection in Central Europe where we
have established large workingclass
youth sport bodies. Our weakness has
been in not giving these organizations
the correct directives. 1t was con-
sidered that in America we have
good field for this activity and our
American League must make a start
along these lines. We must aim TO
bring together into one national sport
organization all the local clubs exist

utilizing 1t as a recruiting ground for
our Young Communist Leagues.
The problem of education was con-
sidered at great length as it was re-
cognized that there was a dangerous
situation facing many of our Leagues
due to neglect in this field. The slo-
gan of Bolshevizing the League was
adopted and this carried with it
complete educational activity from the
highest to the lowest units.
The American Young Workers
League was given considerable atten-
ton. The Executive Committee ex-
pressed approval of our activities dur
ing the past period. 1t was pointed
out that in America we had a more
difficult situation to face than in many
other countries and therefore the APP
plication of some parts of the interna-
tional program was hindered. The
good work conducted during the past
year lays firm foundation for future
activities which we must carry out
intellectually under the supervision
of the N. E. c.
The political situation in the Party
reflected itself to a very limited ex-
tent in the American League. AS is
well known the majority Of the
League N. e. c. with the exception of
Kaplan supported the so-called Foster
Cannon pfffoJrnou erro,,n .x.ho ,,v,ro
supported b. the Party membership
at the last convention. This League
minority developed around Comrade
Kaplan who made serious charges
against the N. e. C. These were en-
phatically repudiated and complete
confidence expressed in the preseEl
N. E. G. majority and instructions
given that all factionalism must cease
within the League and the organiza-
ton work as solid unit with the N.
E. c. in furthering the decisions of
the Fourth World Congress.
The Fourth Congress of the Y. c.
l. adjourned with a program of defin-
lite work allotted to each national sec
ton. The Young Communist Leagues
have won for themselves, thru their
activities, definite place in the work
ingclass movement.
The Young Workers League of
America has won for itself a definite
place in the labor movement of this
country. 1t must receive greater aid
from the Party in its many campaign
and struggles. The League of today
is a recruiting and training ground
for the active Party workers of to-
morrow. 1t therefore deserves the
support of every unit of the Party.

RAIL WAYS INCOME LARGE
seaboard Air Lines Report of
Earnings First Quarter. 1924.

BALTIMORE, April Especially The
Seaboard Air Line railway will earn
the first quarter of the current year
practically five-siXths of the full years
interest on its S25,000,000 adjustment
, per cent bonds. according to estimates
made in the financial district.
To put il another way, if the first
quarters ratio of surplus after charges
is maintained for the tweve-month
period the company will show about 16
per cent earned on that obligation.
After paying per cent on the adjust
ment bonds the balance would be at the
rate of about $11.50 a share on the pre-
ferred.
Seaboard Air Line is now handling
the heaviest volume of traffic in it's his
tory. 1t is expected that gross revenues
and surplus after charges for March
will set a new high record. The best
previous month was last December when
gross was $4.90S.449 and surplus after
charges was S459,61S.
At the present rate of earnings the
company should have a surplus at the
end of the year large enough to more
than wipe out the accumulation of in
terest on the adjustment bonds.

THREAT T0FARMER
in Mexican REVOLT.
Outbreak for Time lmperiIs
Importations of SisaI Fiber
for Binder TWine.
by j. C. ROYLE.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, April THE revolu-
tionary outbreak in Mexico, which
has been in progress some months,
promised for a time to have a close
and important bearing on the Ameri-
can farmer, it became known today.
The temporary success of the de la
Huerta faction in Yucatan threatened,
until the difficulty was overcome, to
cut off necessary supplies Of sisal
fiber essential in the manufacture Of
binding twine in this country. Con-
ditions have not vet returned to nor
NAL in that section Of Mexico, but
there is at the present time enough
raw sisal on hand here to take care
of the immediate requirements of
the agricultural districts.
Harvester Company Gets Supply.
This supply was secured through
efforts of the international Har-
vester Company, one of the largest
manufacturers of binder twine.
When the de la Huerta faction took
possession of ,ProgreSso, the ship
ping port for the Yucatan sisal sup
ply, the International company,
through a special representative,
secured the forwarding OF a large
amount of fiber. Other mills were
out of raw materials and faced the
necessity Of a shutdown. The In
ternational company, however.
agreed to prorate it's importations
among it's competitors, and supplied
their mills at cost One large ship

tentiary mill at the request of Gov.

The United States strengthened its
position as world depository in
1923 as the flight of capital con-
tinued from the unstable economic
conditions of the old world, the De-
partment of Commerce said today in
a summary of international transac-
tions. In the future, the department
rredicted, this country will take a
more and more important part in
financing world enterprises.
Once again the "invis BILE trade,
the transactions for which there are
no government records, played an In
1luential part in the balance OF the
books. The invisible" items last
year were of such as to cut to $19.-
100000 a balance Of 100000 in
favor Of the United States in the
tran sactions passing through the
customhouses. Included in tn sin
visible items was an estimated $780,

Ocean freight appeared to be the
only consequential service or COM

paid foreigners more than it receiv-
I'd. On the other hand. foreign in
Nestments brought s394,o00,000 into
the United States, net increase OF
oue-tifth over 1922. AS compared
with 1922, exports from this country
were $341, 100000 greater and imports
were S106, 100000 more in 1928, show
ing a healthy growth in American
trade.
1T seems likely" the survey said.
that the United States will take a
more active part in financing world
enterprises in the future than it has
in the past. This means an increas
ing amount of interest and profits
"n foreign investments, and co1Se-
uuently an increasing volume of i'm
portS-not necessarily from the coun-
tries in which the investments are
made, but from the whole world. At
the same time. with the growth of
our country and the increasing skill
of our bankers and exporters, it is
likely that our exports will continue
IL increase, although not as fast as
our imports.

New loans inevitably give d tenn
porary boost to exports, and fire.

mentS that have not yet started to

government should do so, there can
be little doubt that imports of mer-
chandise would regularly exceed our
exports. as is usually the case with
creditor countries"
Discussing the items that went to
make up the invisible" transactions,
the survey said that Anne rican tour

philanthropic purposes.

1T has not been easy to get sisal

No Danger OF Trouble.
