Workers Communist Party
How Party Can Help the Youth in the Chicago District

further with this question in a special
article.)
Another form that our mass work
takes is the economic trade union
work of the league. In this the party
is especially able to give us help.
First, in the unions the party frac-
tions must cooperate with the league
fraction or league members and give
real attention to the youth problems
in the union and in the industry. The
party members who do not themselves
work under the conditions that the
young workers are faced with often
take the attitude that there are no
differences between the conditions of
the young workers and the adult
workers in the industry. But the
party fractions and party members
must overcome this attitude and con-
slider the problems of the youth in
the industry when the league fractions
or members put the facts of these
conditions before them.
Also in our work among the masses
of the unorganized young workers, in
our participation in youth strikes, our
campaign to organize the unorganized
workers, the party, which has many
more members in the union than we,
should give us all possible co-opera-
ton.
Also the league members must do
their part, participate more in the
no rf1y fro nfi0ns and in thn n TT II T.
and at the same time each fraction
executive should make sure to in
clude at least one Y. w. L. member.
3. Organization of the Sections.
1t is important that the section ex-
executive committees become the lead
ing forces in each section, and with
closer cooperation between the league
and party section committees much
can be done to strengthen the leader
ship in the section. That there be a
regular exchange of delegates between
all section committees of the party
and league must not only be a paper
rule but an actually.
Section headquarters are of utmost
Importance in order to consolidate the
work of the section, and can be OBJ
tanned with even less expense than is
involved thru paying rent, if the party
and league cooperate in establishing
joint headquarters.
q. other Important Work.
The party can give the Pioneers
much help in this district in building

Of the first problems of the league
was to find forms for our mass work.
One of the means for reaching the
masses of young workers is thru our
sport work, building strong sport
movement which will combine exist
ing organizations into an organization
for working class sports-into which
many young workers and adult work
ers can be recruited.
Some of the party members are al
ready helping us individually to or
ganize such a broad sport movement
in this district, but the whole party
must cooperate in this work-and es-
pecially the language fractions, which
have connections with many sport
organization, can help.
Also in the near future the league
will organize mass campaign against
militarism which will end up with
an anti-militarism conference. The
party must cooperate with us in help
ing us to extend this campaign as far
as possible among the masses.
A few words about the Importance
Of such campaigns and the experience
Of the league in this relation since our
reorganization. We have learned by
experience that we cannot confine our
selves only to our individual shop
activity and the detailed everyday
work, but that mass campaigns, polit-
ical and industrial campaigns on the
basis of issues which are confronting
the working masses are absolutely
necessary to make the organization
live. However, in order that such
campaigns be a complete success they
not only must be arranged for tech
nically and calls issued but there must
be a thoro discussion of the cam
paign in all the basic units, and a dis
cussion of all the issues involved, so
that every member will not only be
familiar with the reasons for the cam
paign, the issues, etc., but every mem
Der will know what his definite work
in the campaign will be, and in this
way we will mobilize the entire mem
bership for the campaign. think the
party has had the same experience in
the organization of campaigns. For
instance, in the Lenin memorial there
was discussion in every unit, and
every member was modified and the
campaign was a real success. The
same must be done in the campaign
for the foreign-born workers at the
present time. Ut is necessary to deal

Pioneers Take Part in Textile Strike
MAX kARP, New York Pioneer.

WHEN the play called school
w Days" was given at strikers
mass meeting in Passaic it was re-
ceived with great enthusiasm. 1t was
given with such great success that
we were asked to give it again.
AS the Pioneers marched in singing
into the hall to give the play for the
second time they were received with
cheering by the strikers. There was
continuous cheering, shouting and ap-
plause turnout the play. Why? Be-
cause this play very well presented to
the strikers the life of the working
class children in the capitalist schools
and the struggle of the Pioneers, espe-
cially during the textile strike.
The parts in the play that showed
the work and purpose of the capitalist
schools were liked most by the strik-
ers. In one part the teacher asked
one boy (who was Pioneer) whether
he loved his country's flag. To this he
answered: "a love my country's peo-
pie, the working people, who make up
this country. When ! grow up | am
going to teach the workers how to
stick together and carry out success
full strikes" Many other parts were
received 9Th great enthusiasm.
The work of the Pioneers in the
textile strike is of great Importance,
as there are many children under the
age of fourteen who are working in
the mills in spite Of the child labor
law in New Jersey. 1t is up to the
Pioneers to organize these children
into a strong Pioneer section.
Pioneers, are we ready?

up a strong movement of thousands
of children. Not only can they CO.
operate by getting their children into
a Pioneer group, but also by provid-
ing the groups with a place to meet.
In the Negro work which the league
is just beginning to develop the party
is especially able to give us help.
First, in section l in Chicago the
party comrades can give us much as
sistance thru furnishing us connec-
tions with young Negro workers who
we can get into the league, also by
supporting us in all our activities
among the young Negroes in this sec
ton.
Second, the party can help us by CIV
ing their support to the forum which
the league will establish on the south
side, thru which we hope to recruit
many young Negroes into the league,
and bring many more close to us.
Third, the district executive COM
mittee of the party and the DISTRICT
Negro committee must cooperate
with our district Negro committee in
developing the Negro work on a dis
trict scale. At present the league
Negro work, like the party, is almost
entirely confined to Chicago, and is
not touching such important centers
as Gary, Milwaukee, etc.
Fourth, much can be done to help
develop the Negro work, and the work
of Section / as a whole, if a sub-sec-
ton of the party be established in
Section 1, as has been done by the
league.
Some Recommendation for Party
Help.
At the end of my report l want to
make some recommendations for
party help so that we can quicker put
some of the suggestions for party CO.
operation into effect.
1. Every party shop nucleus must
assign one comrade to the special
work of organizing a league nucleus.
2. All party shop nuclei and Y. w.
L. concentration groups Of same shop
must have regular exchange of dele
gates, and also all section committees
of the league and party, Just as in the
higher units.
3. In Sections 1, 2, and 6 the party
and league should Immediately obtain
joint headquarters.
4. There should be youth member
on every fraction executive and every
subcommittee.

Detroit Pioneers Will
Have Camp this Summer
tspeeIaI to The paIIy workerl

DETROIT, Mich, March. 21.-The
need of camp for the working class
children has been felt here for many
summers. There are camps, but not
any that Communist children care to
attend. The order of the day at these
camps is capitalist militarism. Last
summer the need of a camp was par
ticularly acute. This year the Pioneers
and the Young Workers League be-
gan the campaign. The parents coun-
Gil, the federation of working women's
organizations, the Workers Party and
several close sympathizers came to
their support.
The camp. itself will be at Loon
lake, an acre of the land owned by
the local Finnish organization. One
large building with one large room
will be put up this year, which will be
used for sleeping, dining and assem-
bly,. For sleeping there will be hunks
which can be folded against the wall,
making the room large during the
day. The following year a separate
building for sleeping will be erected
and a fireplace will be built in the
first building, which will then only be
used for an assembly and dining room.
The second year the playground will
also be enlarged.
Elaborate plans have been made to
finance this camp. Donation lists will
be circulated among individuals and
organizations. Membership cards can
be purchased for 81. Entertainments
will be given by the Pioneer groups
themselves. The various language
workers clubs will be asked to par
ticipate in affairs. Finally a Lenin
Pioneer camp carnival will be held
on Sunday, May 9, from to IL p. m.
The entire House of the Masses has
been secured for this day All halls
will be used and the attractions will
be many. This will be the affair Of
the year and everyone should look
forward and plan to attend it if they
would enjoy themselves. Admission
is Csc. Watch for more news about

WALL ST. CAUSED
ST. PAUL SMASH,
|. SENATOR STATES
Demands Inquiry Into
Bankruptcy
Especial to The Daily Worker,

WASHINGTON, March % - Sena-
torial investigation into affairs of the
Chicago, st. Paul and Milwaukee rail-
road which went into the hands of a
receiver in March, 1923, is proposed
by Senator Gooding, republican of
Idaho.
Gooding sponsored a resolution
authorizing the investigation not only
into the railroads finances but espe-
cially into the effort of Kuhn, Loeb
and company of New York, to reorgan-
lie the road" He charged there was
evidence of "collusion" in the appoint
ment of the receiyership.
Gooding sponsored a resolution
authorizing the investigation not only
into the railroads finances but espe-
cially into the effort of Kuhn, Loeb
and company of New York, to re-
organize the road" He charged there
was evidence of collision in the op-
pointment of the receivership.
The roads receivership appeared to
have resulted from "collusion between
the Kinkley Coal company, a creditor,
and the officers and directors of the
railroad" The receivership was forced
when the Binkley concern filed a petit
ton against the railroad.
1T further appears" according to
the resolution, from testimony be-
fore the interstate commerce commits
sion that collision existed between
said creditor company and the officers
and directors of the said railroad COM
pany as a result of which the latter
was judged insolvent by the court of
receivers appointed, all to the grave
prejudice and loss to the stockholders
and bond holders thereof, and contra
ry to the public interests"
Gooding said that H. e. Bryan,
president of the st. Paul, testified that
the roads insolvency was caused by
a $4S,000,OO0 bond issue which ma
tured in June, 1924. He charges that
Bryan gave the stock and bondhold-
ers no opportunity to contribute the
funds necessary to meet this obliga-
ton, although the latter were willing.
