VIII Determine Most
Active Child Red
In Los Angeles

LOS ANGELES, The Young
Pioneers here have number of great
things to do in the coming months.
The thing that holds their attention
now is the $4,000 campaign for the
Young Comrade. They are of course
working hard to insure the publication
Of their national organ.
A new idea has been inaugurated to
make the comrades more interested
during the summer months, and this
idea is to hold contests. During the
present month a contest is going on
to determine the most active member
Of the L. A. Pioneers. The contest is
being run on the point system, and
covers all phases of Pioneer work, lit
erature, social treasury, and educa-
tional. Comrades will receive points
in these departments by their activity
and every point will count as vote.
This contests will tend to make the
Pioneers more active in all ways.
From Sept. LIST to Nov. list, mem
bership drive will be carried on to
enlarge every nucleus In the city. On
Nov. 9th city convention will be held.
There will be two delegates from
every nucleus to this city convention,
which will choose one member from
every nucleus to be delegates from
this section to the state convention
which will be held in Berkeley Nov. IL
to IA. The Pioneer who gets the most
members in the membership drive will
be awarded trip to Berkeley with
the delegates from this city.
The Pioneers are going to have a
wall newspaper which will make its
first appearance in the third week in
Aug. All the articles for the first issue
are already in, and the paper promises
to rival the wall-newspaper Of the To-
cal branch of the Y. w. L.
Perhaps the biggest thing the l.. A.
Pioneers have to look forward to is
the graduation which will take place
on New Years, when about six Pioneers
will graduate into the Young Workers
League. This group Of future YOWLS
Is being prepared for work in the
league OF the district director OF the
Pioneers and the district organizer of
the Y. W. L.

EUROPE FAVORS
BORAH'S PLANS
TO WIPE SLATE
But Four Billion Is to Be
Excepted

PARIS, Aug. 20.-Inquires in Lon
don and Paris showed beyond the
shadow Of a doubt that proposal for
cancellation of all war debts and all
PREPARATIONS except 100000, 900 Of
German railroad and industrial bonds
would get an excellent reception in
England and France.
Poineare May Propose It.
Indeed, in France, where large eff
forts are about to be made to reconcile
the public to ratification of the Ameri-
can and British debt agreements, there
is belief that Premier Poincare may
make some such proposal before the
end of the year.
Strangely enough, it is Senator Bo-
rah's comment on Clemenceau's letter
to President Coolidge which appears
to have given impetus to this idea.
Senator Borah's statement that If war
debts are cancelled reparations should
also be annulled is regarded on this
side Of the Atlantic as a sort Of chal-
lenge, and there are evidences of will
lingness to take it up.
Would Hit U. s. Trade.
It is believed over here that after
study the American government would
not be willing to have all reparations
cancelled, since that would leave com
peting Germany industry free from all
the burden of liquidation OF the war
whereas the United States along with
England, France and Italy would still
bear the burden Of the domestic debts
contracted for the conduct of the war,

WAGES OF BAKERY UNION
OFFICERS RAISED FROM
$4,000 TO $4,000 Per YR.

NEW YORK, Aug. 2o.-The con-
Ventlon Of the International Bakery
and Confectionery Workers. Union
meeting at the Great Northern Ho-
tel here raised the pay Of their In
ternatlonal officers from $4,000 to
5000 per year. In discussion on
the 'llvIna wage" some delegates
said that while the members Of the
union were often getting less than
$50 or $35 per week the officers Of
the union received more than 500.
A proposal for an old age pension
was voted down. The officers Of the
union, however, were Instructed TO
conduct an investigation Into the
number and requirements Of aged
union members. The question Of un-
employment benefit II was decided
to continue to leave In the hands
Of the local unions to be paid out
Of local treasures.

sung, did not perform the customary
automatic act of standing and the
crowd in the immediate vicinity of
those who did not rise began to ex-
hibit their Indignation by nasty
threats to evict them from the room.
A vaudeville program by paid en-
tertainers of the cabaret variety was
presented after the speaking. The au-
dience became impatient at listening
to the speakers harangues and began
to hiss, whistle and applaud for cab
aret entertainers to begin. Seeing
that the people wanted the song and
dance the lights were put out and
fashlight pictures were taken Of the
audience and the officers on the plat
form, after which the cabaret program
began.
A prima donna sang Jazz songs &C
companied by meaningless gestures,
the rest Of the performance was fairly
we'll done, and the music rendered by
the orchestra was good.
Negroes Well Represented.
The Negro delegation at the cele-
bration was surprising. The cleaners,
dyers and pressers seem to be one
of the few unions of the A. F. of L.
that recognize the Negro as an equal
industrfally, and to outside appear
ances, social equal, too. under
stand that out of 1,400 members over
400 are Negro workers. The foreign
worker is also well represented. They
are all good material to work with and
mold into good left wing organiza-
ton.

OPERATORS IN
SHOE INDUSTRY
SEEK INCREASE
tspselaI to rhe oaIIy w0rkerl


BOSTON. Mass, Aug. 20.-Seventy-
five shoe operators went out on
strike in the city Of Lynn yesterday
demanding an increase Of $40 a week
in wages. In their demands they
pointed out that in spite OF the fact
that their work was extremely hard
that yet they were receiving less pay
than other crafts. The operators had
made repeated demands of the Boot
and Shoe Workers Union officials and
had received no satisfaction. They
therefore determined to go on strike.
The operators have formed an indie
pendent organization which is con-
nected with other cities.
Danger Involved.
The situation presents two dangers.
One is that the strike will be limited
to one craft with the resulting defeat
of the workers involved. The other
danger is that Of split in the Boot
and Shoe Workers Union. Progress
sive shoe workers in Lynn are de-
manding a general strike in the In
dustry. This call is being received
enthusiastically on every side. The
demand is being made for the immedi-
ate formation of rank and file commit
tees in the various shops to take fun
control OF such a general strike.
Shoe workers have been terrihcaIly
exploited thru the combination OF the
shoe manufacturers, the state board OF
arbitration, and the corrupt official
dom Of the union. The past few
months has been marked by wage cut
after wage cut and the shoe workers
are right to rebel.
To Stay In Union.
But the saner elements point out
that the formation of a new union
would be suicidal Such new I'M
ion would simply go the way Of the
other new unions which were formed
IN Lynn. It would last for a few
months, then die. The progressive
elements are therefore determined at
all costs that there shall be no split
in the organization. They will there
fore fight for a general strike in the
industry and against any effort to
form new union.
