to the khan. Among crimes committed
by Young, which the khan now admits,
were the theft Of s25O.OO at an Italian
wedding in Pittsburgh, Illinois.
Young assaulted Paul Corder of
Marion, and was tried for this offense
in Herrin. On February 6, 1924,
Young raided the home OF e. C. Prick,
foreman OF the county grand jury,
which was then investigating Young's
lawless activities. Frick was kid
mapped by Young and spirited out of
the county in an attempt to postpone
jury action. He was held on a charge
of possessing liquor in his home, but
1t was later proved that Young had
planted the liquor there previous to
the fake raid. At another time Young
kidnapped the Herrin mayor, and took
him out OF the county.
Khan Pays Yours.
When the khan saw that Young had
attained = national notOriety as a
killer they attempted to repudiate
him, but Young did not permit them
to get away with this. The khan sup
ported Young and his family up until
the time of his death. Young returned
to Herrin, breaking his promise to
remain away for the good Of the coun-
ty. He had been given $1,000 by the
khan, but ran out Of money and came
back for more. The khan gave him
more money and paid his expenses at
the Lyman Hotel, the best hotel in
Herrin.
Just before his death Young had
completed plans to organize for the
khan in Jackson county as he had done
in Williamson county. Young had al
ready completed financial arrange
ments with the khan for his lawless
work in Jackson county, and on the
day of his death said: 81 contemplate

CONVENTION IS
Held BY Y. VII.
Local Chicago Elects
New Officials

A full program of work was
laid down by the sixth semi
annual convention OF the Chi
cage Young Workers League on
Sunday. This was the first con-
vention of the Chicago league
since its reorganization on the
basis of the working area
branches, and the delegates
from the six new branches
showed a great desire to get
down to real work making this
convention the most construc-
tive one in the history of the
Chicago league.
Comrade valerta Msltz, secretary Of
the Chicago league, reported at the
convention for the city executive
committee, pointing out in her report
the great gains made by the Chicago
league as a result Of the reorganiza-
tion and showing that today there was
nothing in the way Of complete reor-
ganization on the basis of shop nu-
clei.
The Chief Problems.
A complete program Of action for
the coming six months was also out
lined and the sentiment expressed in
the discussion showed that the dele
gates were almost unanimously in ia
vor of making all efforts to see that
this program Of action is carried out;
demonstrating that practically the
whole Chicago membership is ready
to give full cooperation to the new
c. E. c. in seeing that real construc-
tive work is carried on in the future
and that no factionalism is permitted
to interfere with the accomplishment
of the great tasks that lie before them.
The major portion Of the discussion
dealt with only those problems first
in Importance such as: the organiza-
ton Of shop nuclei; the intensification
Of the trade union work, factory cam.
paigns; education, literature, work
ers' correspondence, chiTdren's work.
etc, etc.
In Better Position.
The party delegates TO the conven-
ton stressed the Importance Of greater
participation in the party life by the
league membership. This suggestion
was strongly upheld in the report Of
the c. E. G.
The Chicago league showed itself in
a better position than ever before to
accomplish the tasks that lie before
it, Impressed by the great and impor
tant work ahead, the large majority Of
the delegates showed q great enthus-
iasm for getting down to real work
Immediately in cooperation and under
the leadership Of the c. p. C. and the
N. e. c. and plainly expressed the
sentiment that they would have no pa
tience with any factional attempts to
obstruct work in the future.
The report Of the city executive
committee was accepted almost unani-
mously and the new city executive
committee proposed by the elections
committee was elected by vote of 25
to s. The delegates also showed them.
selves almost unanimously in favor of
a resolution presented endorsing the
N. e. c. and the stand 1t took in
supporting the G. E. c. OF the Work
rs Party in its major political policy.

cago that sacrifices the cutters to new
demands Of the bosses). On the other
hand, it has been accompanied by war
against this left wing and against all
progressive and militant policies with
in the union.
1t is the duty Of the left wing to
fight against the corrupting policies
being Systematically introduced by
Sidney Hillman. Under no condition
can supporters of the T. U. e. L.,
members or sympathizers Of the left,
support the policies of class collabora-
ton practiced by the administration
party, and to be silent is to give sup
port.
In the recent election within the
union in Chicago, some members Of
the T. U. e. L. local group opposed
the issuance of any leafiet stating its
position. This was the first mistake
made by these comrades, because it
would leave the possibility of large
numbers Of workers getting the i'm
preston that the T. U. E. L. was not
opposing Hillman's class collaboration
policy. However, the progressive cam
paign committee, with the approval of
the national committee of the T. u.
E. L., did issue a leafiet which laid
down a left wing policy and declared
in support Of the T. U. e. L. program
and the candidates Of the left wing.
This leafiet was a good fighting left
wing document, which could be sup
ported by every member Of the T. U.
e. L.
But several members Of the T. u.
e. L., because they had not them
selves authorized the leaiet, de-
nounced it in a document which they
delivered to the leader Of the adj
ministration party in Chicago. By so
doing, they delivered a serious blow
against the left wing, undermining, by
their act, the fundamental solidarity
which must exist between all those
who oppose the policies of class col
liberation of the administration par
ty. Whether the leafiet was issued by
the T. U. 3. L. or by someone else,
whether the comrades approved it or
not, to sign a document against the
leafet at the request of an enemy of
the left wing was blow at the whole
left wing movement.
The comrades either committed a
serious mistake, or, If it was not a
mistake-if they struck this blow in
tentionally-they have no place in the
left wing movement or in the T. u.
e. l..
The national committee Of the T.
Q. e. L. believes that the comrades
made mistake which deserves and
does receive severe censure. It Is very
reluctant to think that any member
of our movement would Intentionally
injure the movement in such man.
ner. Attic it has been necessary in
the past particularly in the case of
Comrade Schneid, to combat a ten
dency that looked for a common
ground with the administration party
more theoretically than it looked for
an opportunity to fight for our prin-
ciples of class struggle, yet we still
want to believe that the comrades
merely made mistake, and that they
can be brought to correct their at
titude, that they really wish to work
with the left wing. BY their loyal and
