riers. A prerequisite for unioniza-
ton of the young workers, is the
unionization of all the Y. W. L. mem
bers. This has been undertaken en-
ergetically during this month and by
January L, every Y. w. L. member
must be in the unions.
s. Organization Of youth fractions.
1T is only thru the organized eff
forts of the young Communists that
we can effectively carry on our strug-
gle on behalf of the youth. This has
been a weak point in league activity.
During this month, Y. w. L. fractions
are being organized Systematically in
every union, thru meetings being
called and definite plans for activity
being laid out. These Y. w. L. frac-
tions are separate but work in close
cooperation with the party fractions.
They are not the same as T. u. e. L.
groups, as the T. U. E. l.. groups
should be broader units, embracing
outside workers, while the Y. w. L..
fraction is limited to the Y w. L.
members, who lay out our strategy
for activity within the union and to
win and work for the support the
widest masses in our proposals. -,
The slogans of the league during
Economic-Trade Union Month are:
Every Y. w. L. member a Union
Member"
I'm every Union, Y. w. L. Frac-
ton"
"Unionization of the Youth"
These are being theoretically pro-
pagated. The entire league is turn
ing toward mass work. The unified
efforts of the league membership is
bringing concrete results.--John VIII.

Discrimination Against Young Miners

MONMOUTH, Ill-The reactionary
1fA bffcialdom of the United Mine
Workers Union are shamefully me-
glecting the interests and grievances
Of the young miners in Illinois. 1t
would seem that with close to 80 Of
fetal employees on the payroll of U.
M. w. Of A. in District No. IL, and
when S1S5,S00 is expended every three
months for the salaries and expenses
of these union officials that the griev-
ances of the coal miner would be
swiftly adjusted and that justice
quickly rendered. But this is not so,
The young miner if he has a grievance
with the coal company must wait from
six months to one year before it is
finally settled. The case of the young
miner who was employed at the Silver
Colliery company Mine No. 2, Ed
wards, ILL.,, is only one of many in
stances:
This young miner was employed at
this mine as a trapper-boy and while
the mine was in partial operation last
May and his services were not re-
CURED as trapper-boy, the company
boss instead of giving this young
miner some light job in the mine,
gave him a job pushing empty cars
and loaded cars of coal on the bot
tom. This is the hardest kind of work
and it requires man with strong
back to perform this work in the
mines. Of course, the trapper-boy was
not strong enuf to perform this kind
of work and so the boss fred him.
A few days after this, the services OF

see a revival during E. T. U. M. of
factory campaigns in various cities.
Since the league is reorganized much
greater stress must be laid, not on
factory campaigns as they were con-
Quoted in the past, but upon a steady,
everyday, factory activity. From time
to time local or district campaigns
on certain basic branches of industry
must be made. A start is being made
in this respect in New York, St. Paul,
Chicago and other centers.

ers from the shops and mines on
the basis of our concrete practical de-
mands which we must formulate and
popularize The first steps being
made in this direction are the two
young workers conferences, which
are already under way during this
month, in Eastern Ohio and New York
City. From these first conferences
we will gradually stretch out and en-
brace every larger mass of young
workers under the influence of the

a. Unionization Of the young
workers.-The great majority of the
young workers are unorganized and
are thus danger to theNstandard of
living of the adult workers. 1t is not
the fault Of the young workers that
they work for lower wages and in
cases, longer hours than the adult.
Many unions still pursue the policy of
not organizing the. young workers, dis
ordinations being common.

TINE Young Communist Internation-
4 al has proclaimed December, Eco
nomic-Trade Union Month, turnout
the world. The aim is to concentrate
all the energies and activities of each
league upon this phase of activity,
which is one of the most effective me
thods of reaching the working class
youth.
Recently, a great many young
workers delegations have toured the
Soviet Union, being the guests of the
Russian young workers. These are
now returning to their respective
countries and are reporting favorable
upon the conditions of the young
workers in the Soviet Union. This
broadcasting of the authentic knowl-
edge of the conditions of the young
workers of Soviet Russia, is being
we'll utilized by the various Young
Communist Leagues, where a decided
contrast can be made between work
ing class Russia and the rest of the
capitalist world.
THE Young Communist Leagues are
L especially concentrating upon pop
ularzing world trade unity; unity Of
the youth and adult workers; union
ization of the working class youth;
removal of all barriers against the
youth in the unions and equality of
rights.
Economic-Trade Union Month in
America, among other things, implies
the following:
l. Active participation in all the
struggles of the working class youth.
In the present anthracite strike the
league has been active In distributing
thousands of leaflets. Small meetings
and many contacts have been gained.
This is only a beginning. We should
be the leading influence and spirit of
the young miners in the strike. The
small beginning the league made in
the textile strike in New Jersey is
also important. However, each of
taese struggles must become the
means of increasing the prestige and
organizational strength of the Young
Workers League.
A concrete example of successful
mass activity was the participation OF
the league in the recent spontaneous
coke workers strike in Pennsylvania
2. Initiation of factory campaigns
and Industrial campaigns. Again we
