Buffalo Plenurn Is
Forward Step
for League

BUFFALO, N. Y.-On November Z,
simultaneously with the celebration Of
the ninth anniversary OF the Russian
Revolution, there was held a plenum
of the district committee Of the Young
Workers League here. Besides the
Buffalo members Of the district COM
mittee, Comrade Esther Drawsky was
present from the Syracuse League.
The plenum opened with Comrade /.
Greenberg, district organizer, in the
chair and Comrade Drawfsky as secre-
tary.e A report on the political and
economical situation and the con-
sequent activities of the Workers
| QCommunist) Party on the basis OF
this situation was outlined by Com
rade H. Benjamin, the party district
organizer. In the course of his talk,
Benjamin pointed out the need for a
better cooperation between the league
and the party, that the league should
make greater use of the party ap-
paratus for its work, etc.
Comrade Nat Kaplan, representing
the national committee of the league,
then reported. He pointed out how the
situation in the country is affecting
the young workers. Progress has been
made by the American young work
ers, particularly in the heavy indus
tries, etc. This has been made pos
sible because of the successes in the
unification of our own forces on a
correct line. For the Buffalo district,
the most elementary problems faces us
which shall result in doubling our
present membership.
These elementary problems were
then tackled in the reports of Com
rade Greenberg, AllQuist. Lame and
Drawfsky. On the economic-trade
union field some work can be done in
the form of propaganda in at least one
factory employing youth labor in Buff
falo, Syracuse and Rochester. The
comrades must join the union, take UT
the youth problems in the party frac
tons, etc. A course in the polit
minimum with either party or league
instructors will be undertaken. In
Buffalo the league will help the Open
Forum run by the various working
class elements and try to attract new
league members thru this work. Every
member must win over at least one
other member for the league and the
educational work and the introduction
of lighter features must be insti
tuted to keep these members in the
league. These questions we're al
discussed in great detail.
The possibilities for sports work was
discussed for Buffalo and Rochester
For both these leagues the immediate
steps to carry on this work was de
cided on in detail. The immediate

"The crisis has come in Passaic,"
said Wagenknecht, land organized la

an approaching end to the strike and
want credit for ending it, Whether we
return with the right to organize or
are starved out is to be decided by

contrast with the bitter primary con.
test last May when factional differ

The Democrats are raising the cry
of economy and efficiency and also
condemning the lavish use >of money
in politics. They point to the So ,O0O,-
600 primary of the Republicans last
Spring as a black spot in the Repub-
lican record and as dangerous to
American institutions.
The prohibition question has not
been thrust to the front as il was in
the primary. On the Republican side,
Congressman Ware is an advocate of
