Convention Call of the Young Pioneers

w. l.. with cooperation of the w. P.
During that period of time we have
carried on our work among the work
ing class children as the Junior Sec
tion of the Y. w. l.. and now we are
ready to begin functioning as an in
dependent organization of Commun-
list children-The Young Pioneers.
Our activities in the past were nu-
merous. We succeeded in organizing
several hundred members into 16
groups. We conducted several cam
paigns in the schools against religion,
religious training, etc. by propagat-
ing among the children, distributing
leaflets in the schools, etc. We par
ticipated in the work of the w. r., Y.
w. L., Labor Defense, etc. Our mem
bers were especially active in raising
funds for the defense and The DAILY
WORKER. Within the groups we had
many discussions to make the mem
bership understand our aims and OBJ
ject. We supported and sold the
Young Comrade. Our feminist Youth
Camp accommodated some $50 chill
dren, members and non-members
Our comrades were trained there to
be better and more active young Com
munists. These were our general ac-
tivities in the past
At the present we are going thru
an educational period before we will
start to reorganize on the basis OF

2. To form youth fraction in every
union.
There is also the necessity for estb-
fishing close contact with young
workers in the union. In order to do
this the league will set up concrete
demands for each union and each in
dustry.
In order to accomplish this the
league has called meetings of COM
rades in various industries, whore the
specific problems of the trade will be
dealt with and specific demands set
up. The meetings will be held as fol

Practically all the members present
had assisted The DAILY WORKER
as much as their limited proletarian

primarily for beginners. How to pre-

Is minutes-these are some of the
problems taken up. The students
criticize each other, are taught how
to arrange their subject matter and
also given instructions on what to
use for material and practice.
A Materialistic Philosophy of Life
is a 'ground-breaker" course for our
party since the American workers
have concerned themselves very little
with the problems of philosophy and
since some of the problems taken up
are of a controversial nature. Be-
ginning with the fundamental prob
HH-ns of the nature of the universe
the problems of knowledge,
itko's course will take up the ma
ialistic Interpretation Of history,

ting upon and finding expression in
minds of the artists that went
ri and came after it. How did the
revolution actually take place? What
did the men and women participating
in the struggle look and feel like?
What was the effect of its vast events
upon bystanders, eye witnesses and
participants? How did the revolu-
ton find its way into Russian liter
airy rat?" hese are some are ques-
tions that the course will try to ans

CLEVELAND TO
OPEN CLASSES
FOR WORKERS
Offers Three Courses to
Members

CLEVELAND, Nov. 25-The Work
ers' (Communist) Party here has ar
ranged the following classes for
which students are to be enrolled at
once.
Two Classes in English.
An elementary class (for begin
ners) and an advanced class are
planned. These classes are to begin
Sunday, Nov % For the many for
eign-born comrades these classes will
be Of extreme value, and we hope that
great number will attend.
Glass in Public Speaking.
Many of our comrades are members
Of unions, but are unable to speak on
the union floor. Still others who will
soon be in the unions are in the same
position; they are not equipped for
putting forward the party position.
Every party member who wishes to
speak so that he may better serve
the cause should not fail to join the
speakers class. This class will be-
gin on Tuesday, Dec. 1.
The English class will be held
twice a week-Sunday mornings at
1000 and Wednesday evenings at
500.
The class for public speaking will
be held once a week on Tuesday
nights, at 500.
The fee for each course, which will
last months, will be $3.50 for the
entire course, and must be paid in
advance. These classes will be open
to both party and non-party members,
and will be held at the district Of
fee. The instructors are: Sadie
Amter and Philip Shatz. Quick ac-
ton in enrolment is asked.
Class in Trade Unionisn.
There will also be conducted a
class in trade unionism. For this
purpose each branch should select
number of active trade unionists, who
will be required to attend this class.
Quotas shall be assigned to the
branches on the basis of 40 to attend
the class This course will last
months, and members who do not di-
rectly participate as students may at
tend as auditors. This course consists
of formidable discussions on the tao
tics of Communists in the trade I'M
ions, and all the problems that con-
front the Communists on the trade
union field.
Intensified activity on the part of
the Communists in the trade unions
requires a good knowledge of poll
cies and tactics. Various unions and
the different locals require different
tactics. The purpose of the discus
sion will be to make the comrades ia
miliar with our policies and tactics
so that the blunders of the past may
be avoided and healthy constructive
work carried on.
The comrades selected by the
branches for this course are compel
led to attend. The fee for the course
will be 81, the course lasting thru II
sessions. The fee is to be paid
either by the comrade himself or by
the branch. The course will begin
on Sunday, Dec. 6.
The class will meet every Sunday
at 10 a. m. at the district office.
This course is confined to party and
Young Workers League members,
both as auditors and students.
Enrolment for all these classes
should take place Immediately,
either thru the branches or at the
district office.

Lovestone, this conference engaged
in the most thoro and instructive
discussion on party reorganization
that has yet occurred in our ranks.
Adopt Unity Resolution.
The Central Executive Committee
unity resolution was endorsed unani-
mously. The Central Executive re-
organization plan was likewise unani-
mously endorsed. Every delegate
voted for an energetic campaign of
bolshevization. The delegates ex-
pressed themselves heartily in favor
of the party's waging an even more
vigorous reorganization plan than it
has to date. 5soss
The convention discussed at length
the industrial work, educational work,
work among women, Negro work, de-
tense work, labor party activities, ETC.
The district committee activities were
endorsed.
The convention voted to instruct
its delegates to the Finnish national
conference that the conference should
appropriate $500 to establish a fund
for the organization of Lenin Col
lege in Chicago.
Aid DAILY WORKER.
A collection was made for The
DAILY WORKER in which $50 was
gathered. The Finnish district COM
mittee also answered the appeal of
the Central Executive Committee by
giving an additional 500 to The
DAILY WORKER.
Two hundred dollars was voted to
help establish a special Young Work
ers League school in the Warren
district. The convention also unani-
mously endorsed the ownership of
the property now in the hands of the
party, to be continued in the hands of
the membership remaining and func-
tioning in the party fractions.
The letter sent to the Finnish sec
ton of the Workers -(Communist)
Party by the Communist Party of
Finland was unanimously endorsed.

Comrade Lovestone, the representa-
tive of the Central Executive Commit
tee, spoke at length about party re-
organization. trade union work, and
the unifcation of the Communist
forces. Comrade Lovestone stressed
the necessity of the Finnish fractions
becoming a more organic part of the
party and participating more actively
in all its campaigns. Ro-
The resolution which was adopted
read, in part, as follows:
"The Ohio-Pittsburgh district con-
vention of the Finnish language frac-
tons of the Workers (Communist)
Party urges all Finnish comrades to
forget their past fractional differences,
to drop all fractional strife and to rally
as one for the new constructive activi-

under the leadership of the Central
Executive Committee. We declare,
that in order to carry out the most
important tasks confronting our par.
ty, it is absolutely necessary that full
support and assistance be given by
all the party members to the Central
Executive Committee in this difficult
work. The Ohio-Pittsburgh district
convention of the Finnish language
fractions of the Workers (Commun
ist) Party calls upon all the members
represented in its convention by var
ious delegates to aid without reserva
ton and to prove by deeds theii

interference by stringing his anten-
ma from high poles above the roof,
never realizing that while this ap-
peals to the human being as an
ideal method of getting results it
doesn't fit in with radios own ideas
along this line. Ahigh antenna
is not as selective as a lower one,
though the latter does not give as
good results in volume or in range.
Accordingly the aerial, when
completed, ran about ten feet above
the roof. The lightning arrester
was installed about six inches from
the side of the house between. the
lead-in and an insulated wire lead
ing straight down to the earth and
grounded. Just before the arrest
er the lead-in was tapped for a
direct lead-in to the set itself.
The lightning arrester, Smith
came to learn, is more of pro-
lection against damaging the set
than against fire damage from
lightning. He could readily appre-
ciate that the small wire of the
aerial is even less of an attraction
to lightning than the electric light
The Winslow mail., 1925-10-09

The temporary antenna proved to
be a valuable experience for Smith,
for it demonstrated to him the i'm
portance of details. And that is
half the story.
He found that when you take the
ends of two wires and twist them
together with your fingers the con-
tact thus afforded isn't going to
be the sort that helps a radio set
perform at it's best. He discovered
that though the lead-in wire may
saw against a cornice of the house
and not stop proceedings altogether
it will cut reception radically, also
causing what often passes for sta
tic.
The variations in performance
occasioned by his constant rear
rangement of the lead-in and his
fussing with the makeshift cOnnec-
tions told him very plainly that one
of the first things is to prevent
high loss through good insulation,
good connections and low resist
ance wiring. But here, like thous-
ands of other radio fans, he carried
the idea too far and made an in
teresting error.
AS 1 told him, when explaining
the situation, you're favoring
yourself, not radio"
Smith tried to get away from all
