present case. Here the Council were
three and three, a negative vote,
and the Governor voted with the
Council to break tie and thereby
gave himself the right to exercise
the discretion Of removing the sher-
iff or not. There accordingly has
been no occasion for the Attorneys
General in the past or others to
pass upon this amendment or to give
it any consideration whatever with
respect to the present issue. For the
foregoing reasons it seemed to me
when called up the Attorney Gen.
erals Department, that a grave
question was involved as to the val
idity of the vote of the Governor
and Council.

ting any information here, he sent
telegram to the office of The DAILY
WORKER asking who had written the
article. OF course he received no
answer.
In the April 21st issue of the Even
ing News published in Wilkes-Barre a
big story on this article appeared.
Next day another article on this ques-
ton. All of this was of no evail, and
the writer remained unknown.
1t so happens that this article had
been written by an ex-student altho it
would be a fine thing if students would
take to writing articles of this char
acter. So small a correspondence sub
mitted to The DAILY WORKER was
the means of creating a big disturb
ance in the sleepy hamlet of Plymouth
lying in the heart of capitalism.
Every possible means is used to
suppress any thought of Communism
wherever it may raise it's head. Just
imagine how hard they tried to trace
the writer Of the article. This indeed
proves how the high school and all
the other institutions of learning are
at the service of capitalism in sitting
every attempt of bringing the truth to
the surface. Every student should read
and understand Communism.

BY Ex-sTuDENT.

A BOUT two months ago news item
4 appeared in the DAILY WORKER
on Communism in the Plymouth High
School. Lately an individual who ap-
parently is member of the American
Legion came across this article. Being
very much interested in promoting
"Americanism" he brot this paper to
the principal of the high school.
The next morning the students were
ordered to hand in a list of all the
newspapers that they read. The in
genious principle thot that the author
of the article would be foolish enuf
to include The DAILY WORKER in
the list.
During the evening session of the
senior class the principal spoke on the
matter and asked if any one had writ
ten the article in The DAILY WORK
Err. Since the writer of the article
was not member of the class of
course there was no response. The
principal pointed out that it was no
crime to write the article, but that
there were untruths in the article.
He said that the article told OF a vote
that was taken on Communism and
that the students voted four to one
for Communism. He maintained that
no such vote was taken. The teacher
of this class where the vote was taken,
being afraid of her position also main
tanned that no vote was taken.
The next morning at the Chapel ex-
ercise he again spoke on the subject
but was careful not to mention any
thing of what he had done in the
meantime to find out the author of the
article.
It has since been revealed that day
before he had inquired at the post

that talking about problems was good
and helpful but action was needed IN
order to help solve some Of these prob
lens. The Upset delegate spoke next
and asked the league delegates for
definite proposals for aceion-which
was promised and later given.
Include Youths Demands.
In the evening the closed session
of delegates took place. A oonstitu-
ton was adopted. A very general,
vague, and indefinite constitution It
was. When the league representatives
moved that it be more definite, and
that some of the youths problems be
mentioned in the constitution, such az
militarism, race prejudice, child labor,
ETC., it was not accepted. In the even
ing session, on several occasion the
Y. P. s. L. delegate and the Y. W. l..
delegate voted against the rest. It
was temporary and partial united
front of the young workers Organiza-
lions against the petty bourgeois
groups present.
May second, the federation was or
ganized. The officers were announced.
The church groups succeeded in elect
ing every one of the officers. The
S. P. club of G. c. N. Y. and Columbia,
the Y. p. S. L. and Y. w. L. we're
not accorded one of the seven of1ces.
But since the powers of these officers
are not defined and are as vague as
the constitution itself, this should not
be interpreted as a swing to the right.
The Executive Council is the highest
body, and on it are two representa-
tives from each organization.
Work OF Conference.
The resolution committee reported.
A general resolution was adopted,
with some notifications. A strong re-
solution condemning the race riot in
Carteret, N. J. as unconstitutional, un-
American, and brutal, and calling on
the authorities to restore the destroy
ed property and insure them protec-
ton of their rights as citizens, was
adopted after a lenghthy discussion in
which some opposition was voiced.
The Y. w. L. and s. P. club of city
college together with Chadbourne
we're the principal supporters of this
resolution. Another resolution, on
militarism was adopted after a bit Of
discussion. 1t called on the youth to
boycott the C. M. T. c., and demanded
the abolition of the compulsory milit-
airy training ruling in the colleges, and
approved the Welch bill and the
amendment thereto, now before con-
gress. A resolution calling for an
Enquiry into the causes of the Passaic

BY p. FRANKFIELD

ON May first and second, a confer
~ ence of delegates representing
about fifteen different youth organiza-
tions was held at the Community
Church. The conference included
many church groups of young people,
Negro, Chinese, student, and political
organizations, such as the Y. p. s. L.
and the Y. w. L.
The conference was divided between
open sessions, in which everybody
present was allowed to participate in
the discussion, and closed sessions, for
delegates only. The chairman Of the
open sessions was Harry Ladder, Sec
rotary of the League for Industrial
Democracy.
The first part Of the conference was
devoted entirely to discussion of Mil
itarism, race prejudice, and industrial
ism, Cor capitalism). One of the speak
ers was Kenny Smith, member of Ia
Dor party, British NJ. P. On the dis
cussion of militarism the sentiment
was overwhelming in favor of aboli-
ton of compulsory military training
in the colleges, and struggle against
the further naturalization of youth.
Some delegates approached the prob
lem from ethical grounds. Others,
such as the representative from the
8. P. club or city college, gave an
economic Interpretation of militalism,
pointing out that the investments Of
American capitalism, in Europe, in
Asia, etc., made it necessary to in
crease appropriations for the army,
institute compulsory military training
in the schools and build citizens milit-
airy training camps, etc.
Discuss Race Problem.
On the discussion of race prejudice,
VIM. Corby from the Abyssinian Y. P.
forum gave an excellent analysis of
British and French Imperialism in
Africa, the economic basis of the last
world war, but failed to estimate the
race problem in America correctly.
The league representative, Comrade
Frankfield, spoke and pointed out the
6COnOluiC Ddolo Ol AdOC PACJuOAOO III
America, compared the racial problem
| in America to the national problem in
Russia before the 1917 revolution, and
ended up by saying that racial dis
elimination and prejudice must be
fought whenever it manifested itself
However, the only real solution is the
one which the Russian workers have
applied.
Industrialism (capitalism) was
shown to be a system based on ex
ploitation and profits, by Mr.. Chad
bourne OF the league OF yout1. society
was divided into two classes, one ex
plotting the other. Comrade Don OF
the Y. W. l.. spoke of child labor in
the United States, the conditions OF
the American young worker in indus
try today, and regretted the fact that
