Judith noticed the slump OF his
shoulders: the lighted cigarette
that he flicked but didn't smoke.
She noticed the white hydranr
geas that in one moonlight had
bloomed with such mysterious,
arresting beauty-bloomed behind
two figures clasped joyously In
each others arms.
The hydrangeas looked dusty
IN the sunlight-dusty against the
blue walls OF the kitchen porch.
Such q color to paint a kitchen

Douglas came over to the table,

OF the sensational windup Of the

the sunlight falling on her white,
haunting face; as she stood in

'Douglass-oh, you hear-Doug-

swayed: He felt her soft, yield

against her cheek.
And he now bit his nps-the
print OF the newspaper blurring.
He showed his hands one after
another over his hair.

Boston VIII Hold
an Organizational
Conference Sunday

BOSTON, April % - Sunday morn
ing, April 25, at IL o'clock a second
district organization conference will
be held at So Causeway St. Every
comrade who holds an organizational
post in the district, should be present.
The conference will take up n de-
tail the work for the next month.
There will also be an opportunity for
reports on the progress of the work
in the various units. 1t is especially
important that the comrades in out
lying sections Of the district, make
every effort to be present. Unfor-
tunately the district Office is not in a
financial position to pay transportation
expenses. This should not prevent
comrades from devising ways and
means to be present in order that the
entire district may get the benefit of
the conference.

youth. It enables us to develop our
anti-militarist activity on a broader
scale. 1t is an effective means of re-
cruiting new members.
In many factories and working-class
neighborhoods the only semblance of
youth organizations is often a sports
club. Obviously a Young Workers
(Communist) League fraction, or even
a league member could do a great
deal inside of such a club, spreading
Communist ideas and winning new
members for the league. In some in
stances, where the situation is partic-
ularly favorable (as in a factory
where we have nucleus), the league
members can even take the initiative
in organizing a sport club as a means
of facilitating it's work. Sometimes 1t
may even be desirable to delegate to
several members the talks Of organic
ing a neighborhood sport club. In
general, sports organization can prove
to be valuable intermediary form of
reaching masses of the young workers.

MAY Day recalls the strike of 1886
for the S-hour day.
Here is Chicago, as we'll as in other
centers of America, class conscious
workers demonstrate at mass meet
ings their international character.
They look back at the origin of May
Day forty years ago in the historic
strike of 1886 for the S-hour day, the
forerunner of the strikes of Paterson,
Colorado and Ludlow, where cham
pions of labor struggled against, the
united front Of the bosses, of the mill
tary and of the courts. They see the
splendid fight waged by the strikes
of 1922. They see the great effort on
the part of the steel workers to or
ganize in 1919. They see the Passaic
textile workers now waging a spirited
fight for decent living conditions.
"OihCIo GGUldHQSs
Intelligent workers see that the
wages of the American workers have
gone down since the war, while profits
for the capitalists have gone up. They
see the bosses introducing more and
more the company union aimed to fool
the workers into thinking they have
something to say about the running of
industry. For real workers control
they look across to Soviet Russia,
where the workers and peasants have
built up their own system of govern
ment, and are building up industry,
improving the workers condition as
they go along. They see that only the
Communist Parties are capable of
leading the working class in their
fight against capitalism.
MAY LIST was officially set aside as
labor's international holiday in 1889
by the International Workers Con-
gress as a remembrance Of the heroic
strike of 1886.
"Class conscious workers on May
Day resolve to fight the whole year
for their interests, shoulder to shout
der with their fellow workers. This

these slogans:

ARTICLE l.

ARTICLE I.
A T present one of the most promis-
a ing signs of renewed life in the
Young Workers (Communist) League
is the manner in which it is pushing
the sports work. In Pittsburgh, in
New York. in Detroit and in Chicago
sports activity is experiencing a boom.
In all of these places local sports COM
mittees have been set up and are fol-
lowing the instructions of the National
Sports Committee to form the connec-
lions with working-class sports organi-
cations which will serve as the basis
for the development OF a real mass
sports movement
United Front Basis.
All the work is being carried on
a broad united front basis. 1t is
planned in this way TO draw in many
American sports groups that hitherto
have not been reached or have been
repealed because of the sectarian ma
ture of the workers sports movement
in this country. Altho at present
nearly all of the sports groups the
league has contact with are foreign
speaking, yet the work that is being
launched is toward winning American
elements. 1t has been established by
the National Sports Committee that
only by winning over and by organic
ing American workers sports groups
can the labor sports movement grow
and assume mass proportions.
Work in Sports Field.
Up to recently the Young Workers
(CommunIst) League has given
scarcely any attention to the possi-
billtles Of working in the field Of
sports. This has been big mistake.
Sports work gives us an approach to
otherwise unreachable masses OF the
