ONE of the important tasks of the
~ Workers Party is certainly to help
IL eAs building up of the youth move
ment in this country. The party men,
bers would be making big mistake
if they would leave the youth move
ment to shift for itself.
In section, sub-district, and district
committees very often no reports are
given on what the youth is doing and
if there is a report given all that is
done with it is a motion to accept.
That is all. No discussion on how the
party is to help the league in it's prob
lens or how the party is to cooperate
with the league This attitude reflects
itself in the lower units and among the
party membership. This must be COM
batted by the higher units of the party
and league. The idea that the league
is bunch of office boys or girls good
only for distributing leaflets and TAX
ing collections at meetings must be
combatted by all means.
It is high time that the party COM
rades recognize that the league is the
advance guard of the working class
youth and the future leaders of the
party. The league must be given
serious consideration and not be
forced to fight for elbow room as has
happened in the past. The @. E. G..
is now taking the right step in that
direction. 1t is starting by doing it
nationally in all of it's campaigns.
There must be an intensive education
al campaign carried on to spread this
to the lower units.
Party members must make special
efforts to educate their children so
they will become members of the
Young Workers League. There are
altogether too many members who are
active in the party and in the unions
and their own children are not in the
movement and are not even sympa-
thetic to the movement. If only our
own party members would get ali

ment in the hands of the workers in
many European countries while here
the practical experiences in this field
have been very limited So far reach
ing was the effect of the struggles of
the shop committees turnout the Ger
man industries, both against the CAPT
talist system in general and against
the corrupt traitorous union Off
Gals that the Ebert-Scheidemann gov
eminent legalized shop committees by
law in an effort to clip their claws.
While shop committees can by no
means supplant trade unions, they
will become a basis Of additional
strength to the workers in organized
industries and will prove an import
ant factor as a means of resistance
of the workers in unorganized plants.
Moreover, they may become a real
instrument of union organization.
Shop committees representing only
the workers as against fake bosses
so-called shop or works committees"
should be the slogan of shop nuclei
members. Shop committees compos
ed of delegates elected by the work
ers directly within each department in
an industrial plant, fully empowered
to represent these workers in dealing
with the management, empowered TO
call the workers to fight whenever
necessary should be the reply to any
encroachments upon wages and work
ing Conditions by the bosses. Due to
the character of shop committees be-
ing elected on the job, each delegate
being directly responsible to the men
in his department, and having daily
contact they become ever responsive

will increase the confidence of the
workers in their own ability to re-
sist. The existence of a shop commit
tee in a given plant would be fac
tor of powerful warning to the boss
es.
Shop nuclei members should take
the initiative in organizing shop COM
mittees. While during the course of
so-called normal prosperity the re-
spouse from the workers may be very
small it should nevertheless be propa-
gandized at every opportunity. The
method of their establishment and
their functions should be made clear.
The propaganda shouldube put into
practice whenever the bosses make an
offensive, cutting wages or dirS>ciy
deteriorating working conditions. Ma
turally such step must be carried
further to the complete organization
of the unorganized.
The absolute untramelled labor
control by the bosses in many indus
tries as for instance the steel indus
try makes the approach to organiza-
ton, of the workers a very difficult
one. But recognizing that Commun-
lists must learn to overcome all such
obstacles the establishment of shor
committees should provide an open
ing wedge and beginning of solu-
ton of the problem. Organization of
the unorganized, the means and meth
DDS whereby to organize, should be
the practical summing up of shop nu-
clei activities and propaganda in con
nection with the points mentioned
above. Organization of the morgan
lied is a constant problem facing all
Communist Parties.

What the Party Must Do to Help the League

their children to join the league, even
this would be a great help to us.
We find too many instances where
party members send their children to
nationalist youth organizations Of
their own language and neglect to send
their children to the Pioneer groups
or the Young Workers League.
The slogan of the party must be
"AII Party Children Must Be Mem
bers of the Y. w. L. and the Pioneer
Groups"
We find very many cases where the
capitalist youth papers are found in
the homes of party members but we
do not find the Young Worker or the
Young Comrade. The Young Worker
and the Young Comrade in Every
Party Members Home.
Another point which deserves at
tention is that the party must not alb
sorb the league as fast as it has in the
past especially as it did during the
last period of time. The result of this
was that in some districts many COM
rades were drawn entirely into party
work and the league was left without
functionaries. Party members laid
down on the job and left to the Y. w.
L. members to carry on responsible
party work. This does not mean
that the party must not draw on the
league or that we must stop the
league members from joining the
party. There must be a conscientious
policy pursued by the party that
league members must not be taken
into the party too fast, to the detri-
ment of the league work. The party
and league must regulate that. There
should be a rule that league mem
bers under 25 years of age who are
in the party must devote the major
part of their time to the league. This
rule must be strictly adhered to. The
party and league must see that it is
enforced.
Nuclei, fractions, committees, and
other units of the league must be Civ
en- serious consideration by the party.
League problems must not be sighted
by the party but must be taken up
seriously. The rule Of mutual rep
resentation between party and league
units must be strictly observed. This
will help to make the league a mass
organization of young workers in this
country.
The party units in the shops, mines,
mills, and towns must elect capable
comrades who will be responsible for
The building of the league in their
place of work or town. The slogan
must be: Where There is a Party
Unit; There Must Be a League Until
Where League Unit a Party Until
This will not only strengthen the
league but it will also strengthen the
party and both organizations will be
on the road to becoming mass organ
lzations Of workers.

MYTH the series Of schemes Of vari-
w GUS kinds of so-called cooperation
between capital and labor being con-
stantly devised and perfected to de-
lude the workers, the problems of the
active shop nuclei increase. But sim
ultaneously the opportunities for eff
fective work on mass scale became
enhanced.
One rule, which also holds good in
endeavors to win the masses OF work
ers, is that experience is the best
teacher. The delusive attempts
shrewdly worked out by the bosses
Will succeed only so long until the
shred of hypocrisyi is blasted away and
the inevitable struggle for class inter
ests comes to the surface. This is
task for our live shop nuclei
"Joint Works committees"-company
Unions.
One step further into the series of
schemes mentioned are the so-called
"joint works committees" established
in many large factories and which are
separated only one additional step
from company unions. Joint works
committees" supposed to manage af-
fairs in the plant, are generally COM
posed of an equal number of dele
gates representing the workers and
the bosses. Sometimes the bosses ap-
point both sets of delegates and get
the ones to their liking. Sometimes
the former are elected by the work
ers in the shops. Seldom are these
committees permitted to touch any

several hundreds subs have been re-
turned and this is the end of the first
month of the campaign. The COM
rades should get on the job. Send
in the amounts collected on the sales
Immediately. Organize committees of
ten to thirty to sell the subs during
the Lenin meetings. During the Len
in week alone we should be able to
sell several thousand subs. Every
league speaker should point out that
the support to Leninism must come
in concrete form-this being the sub
drive. Then our committee must go
down the allies and sell the cards.
This will give much better results
than personal soliciting alone.
