YOUTH CONFERENCE WILL i
HAV TO CONSIDER
The TEXTILE YOUTH"
BY a Young Worker Correspondent.

~ toun9 WoTkeT correspondent
NEW LONDON, Conn. - The aft.
davites that all the strikers filed out
showed an average wage of $23 before
the wage cut, and $17.1S after the
wage cut. This is the wage of the
adult weavers, who have to support
their families. How a family of a five
or three can make living on such
miserable wage is really a puzzle?
But it is understood how-they starve.
OF course a young less experienced
weaver running only three looms
makes great deal less. Fifteen dol
lars on an average is about all a young
weaver could make after the wage
cut. In spite Of their low wages, the
young weavers have not taken as i'm
portant a part in this strike as the
young textile workers in Passaic. Be-
sides receiving less pay, the young
less experienced weavers suffer most
from the abuse of the straw bosses
for they have some regard for the
skilled weaver, but they know the
young weaver is completely at their
mercy, being unorganized.
The union will put an end to this.
Besides raising the pay of the young
weavers along with the adults, it will
be protection for the younger
weavers from the insult and abuse of
the bosses. The union is the only
one that can force the bosses to treat
the workers like men and women and
not like dogs. When the foreman
knows that he will have to account for
any insult to the union, he will learn
to become more gentle.
The youth conference that will be
held in New York on June IS, will
have to consider the problems with
which the young striking textile
weavers and young textile workers in
generally are confronted. No doubt
that at the present time there is not
young textile worker, who does not
realize the importance of organiza-
ton. Every factory where young
workers are employed should elect
delegates to the youth conference.

THE strike in the local Russian daily
l. Russky Viestnik Rassviet has
ripped the mask from a gang of an
archo-monarchists and plain counter
revolutionists who were masquerading
as ultra radicals.
The Russian colony in the United
States was enriched lately by a few
thousand counter-revolutionists who
were driven out of Russia after their
final attempts to crush the revolution
failed. At the beginning they attempt
ed to play the role of friends of Ia
Dor" and were trying to join the ex-
listing organizations. They were rec
ognized for what they are and were
not admitted. After that they were
forced to organize separately. New
counter revolutionary organizations
were created under different names.
The Russian Officers Club, the Society
for Political Prisoners in Russia, the
Russian Center, the Progressive Club,
and others, made their appearance.
Unite Against Workers Rule.
Altho somewhat different in name
and composition, these organizations
united in their bitter attacks against
the Communists and the Soviet gov
eminent. Two newspapers, the Russky
Viestnik in Chicago, which was the
expression of the reactionary menshe-
viks and monarchists, and the Rass-
Wet in New York, which was the ex-
preston of the anarchists and mon
archists, were the champions of these
new organizations. The first paper
was established eight years ago by
the local Independent society "a reli-
gious organization as liberal paper,
but it fell into the hands of socialist
lawyer, Kazimir Gugis, who conven-
iently turned it over for use to the
local counterrevolutionist He thot it
would pay, but it didn't.
Anarchist Rag.
The second paper was established
over a year ago by group of follow
ers of the notorious bandit Machno.
They catered to the monarchists and
anti-Semites, havoring it with anarch-
list theory. This paper found no more
favor in the colony than the Chicago
sheet. Both of them were finally
forced to consolidate into one under
the name of Russky Viestnik-Rassvit.
AS soon as the paper was consoli-
dated, they began to economic" In
New York they had printers work
ing for $40 a week. They tried the
same thing in Chicago. The workers
here were receiving from $35 to $45 a
week. The bosses began to cut down
and fred one printer altogether, ex-
pecting to fill his place with one of
their specialists from New York.
The workers refused to stand for that
and went down to the union headquar-
ters for protection. The union took up
the matter and tried to settle the case.
Deny Union Recognition.
For three days the organizer Of Chi
cago Typographical Union No. 16 tried
in vain to convince this gang OF the
right of workers to be organized.
The manager fatty refused TO have
anything to do with the union. He
stated that "the corporation" met and
decided to have nothing to do with the
union

Youth Conference
Needed By Mace
Co. Young Workers

BY Young Worker Correspondent.
NEW YORK CITY - The working
conditions of our shop are so miser-
able that they are similar to those of
twenty years ago.
While most Of the workers, working
only a. hours per week are already
fighting for forty hours week work, we
are still compelled by stingy bosses to
work nine long hours day, |. G., fifty
hours per week, earning very low
wages.
Foremen see to it we should work
fast, so as to make more profits for
the company. For being late a few
minutes we are fined one-half hour
pay, and we are also not paid for
legal holidays.
The boss gets his best out of the
workers, paying most of us $14, SIG
and SIS weekly. Only after four or
five years of hard labor are we able
to get an increase of So or SO, and
only few of the old-timers get $25
per week.
Can We Have Decent Living?
Can we have decent living on such
wages, which barely will cover the ex-
penses of single man? Many of us
have to support our families. Do the
bosses realize all the hardships- we
have to confront, and if they realize,
do they give a damn for it
The conditions in the shop are very
unsanitary. There are not enough
lockers to keep our clothes and five
or six people are compelled to share
single locker.
We have only 30 minutes for lunch,
which makes II impossible to finish
our lunch, or to get breath of fresh
air.
The toilets, which are very small,
are sinking and full of dirt, because
the water runs only once or twice a
day.
Is L. II. Mace Co. so poor that II
is unable to provide us with toilet
paper?
The workers who work downstairs
in the saw mill breath into their lungs
sawdust and are in danger of losing
their fingers in the machines. Those
who work on the upper floors spray
ing ice boxes with paint, breathe in
the poisonous gas of the paint, which
affects their health, and II one Of us
Is trying to protest or ask for higher
wages he is kicked out Immediately.
Bring Demands Forward
Fellow workers, are not we manly
enough to raise our heads and bring
our demands before the boss and pro.
test against the shameful existing con.
ditions?
Young workers, colored and white,
you are the ones who are exploited
the mostl You should be the first
ones to start the organization OF the
working youth.
Remember we have begun to organ.

have TO begin TO come together and to

our demands.

SEEK DEPORTATION.

Ell PASO, Feb. News that Cen
eral Manuel Emerteria Torres was
executed at Torreon, Mexico, after
having been deported from the
United States has revived rumors
that the Mexican government is pre-
pairing to ask for wholesale return
of political refugees in this country
under the so-called border snug
Cling treaty recently signed in Wash
ington by representatives of the
Mexican and American governments.
Ever since the treaty was nego-
tiated it has been stated in authori-
tative circles that the pact contained
provisions under which Mexico hoped
to obtain the return of political
members of the Gales government.
This report is confirmed by the
information obtained here from re-

ties at Juarez are preparing to list
the wanted men who are in this
country with view of asking their
extradition under the newly signed

chief to announce to the world that
revolution had started in Mexico"
The chief of the junta, Jones said
