Small Strikes

Tailors are proverbially peaceful people, but
when the interests of the bosses and the workers
clash, as told in our story of yesterday from Los
Angeles, the profession loses all of its peaceful
character.
The Los Angeles tailors' strike is a small one.
Only twenty workers are directly affected, but in
miniature the whole panorama of the American
class struggle passes in review The bosses i'm
port scabs and gunner, strikers are slugged and
the police protect the scabs.
All TO the above is important. 1t shows that even
in the petty industries where competition has NOT
rs yet been wiped out entirely the class differences
are acute and that the police power of the cap.
italist state agencies find no conflict between work
ers and capitalists so small as to call for neu.

Our class must adopt the same attitude. No
struggle of our fellow workers must be considered.

AS WE SEET = ByT.J. OFlaherty

scrambled the grand duke of Austria
in 1914. Before the dead were count
ed the capitalist system itself came
within an inch Of being as dead as
the car of Russia. Wise capitalists
know that another world will put
them 'on the historical scrap heap.
Yet they are feverishly preparing for
it. They remind one of a man who
stands on the brink of precipice and
is SO fascinated with the void in front
of him that he jumps TO it even tho
he knows it means death. Or like the
fly that keeps fitting around a light
until 1t burns into ashes.

join in the work of the communist
parties, to the energetic defence of
the line of policy of the Comintern
and to support the parties in the
difficult task of Bolshevisation.
On the basis of the estimation given
by the Comintern, the Enlarged Elk
ecutive of the Y. C. l., worked out
resolution with regard to the Boil
shevisation of the Youth Leagues, in
which the opinion was clearly ex-
pressed that the chief attention of the
leagues should be concentrated on
work in the various concerns and in
the factory nuclei, on the fight for
the economic demands of the working
youth, and on work in the trade
unions. Thanks to the vast experience
of our French, Italian, American,
German and other groups, our plenum
was able this time to concern itself in
much more detail with working out
the concrete methods and forms of
the economic struggle and of the mass
work of the Youth Leagues in the
factories. On this occasion the pie
mum pointed with special insistence
to the possible notifications in the
fight for partial demands and to the
necessity of combining our daily
struggles with the outlook of the revo-
luton and of the ultimate victory of
the working class over the bourge-
oisie.
The second question on which the
plenum threw the necessary light and
for the solution of which it made con-
crete suggestions, is the struggle to
win over the youth of the rural pop
ulation. Up to now the minority of
our groups has only done quite insig-
nificant work among the peasant
youth. The plenum pointed out the
necessity Of developing an energetic
campaign for the conquest of the pro-
letarian rural youth and the poorest
members of the peasant youth, but at
the same time laid emphasis on the
class character of the Young Com
munist Leagues and the necessity,
under all circumstances, of preventing
firm proletarian leadership which
will be realized by the proletarian
nucleus in the leagues and with the
help of constant and firm leadership
on the part OF the communist par
ties. For this reason the plenum re-
solved that the Young Communist
Leagues in the West should only ex-
tend their organization activities
among the proletarian youth In the
villages and among the poorest OF
the peasant youth. AS regards the
youth of the middle class farmer, our
task is to neutralize 1t. The plenum
took up an attitude Of opposition to
the creation OF youth sections in the
Peasant international. as II was of
the opinion that the peasant youth
should join the non-party associations
together with the adults
The plenum took cognisance Of the
fact that many leagues had been very
successful in organizing the leagues
on the lines Of factory nuclei. The
most important sections OF the Y. G.
l. are about to complete their re-or-
