WORKERS WARNED
OF VICIOUS OPEN
SHOP CAMP AIGN
New York Commercial
Issues War Cry

wherever possible, arrangements
should take this opportunity to inau-
gurate the open shop" cries the New
York Commercial, mouthpiece Of the
eastern financial interests, in an edi-
torial July 10.
The importance to labor of this dec
laration Of war demands its publica-
ton in full:
"Now Is the Time to open Shop"
"The immediate outlook is for de-
cided increase in the number and i'm
portance Of labor disturbances. Dur
ing the coming few months there will
be an increasing number Of strikes,
and the number of demands for higher
wages or shorter hours will be consid-
erably enlarged. Evidence of this in
crease is even now visible, but to-
days visibility will prove, in our opin-
ion, only the start to greater proper
tions that will probably reach their
peak in September or October.
Caution Is Urged.
'Tn some cases or where particular
conditions prevail it would not be wis
dom for arrangements to precipitate
open shop acceptance directly out of
clear, blue union sky. In a great
many other cases, however, demand
for advanced wages or the threat of a
strike would be all the justification
needed to throw overheard the adher-
ence to unionism and inaugurate the
open-shop American plan.
Denounces Union Shop.
Totally disregarding the merits of
the open-shop system and the utter
lack of merit of the closed shop, such
action at this time would be backed
by the fact that the status Of the en-
ployed is better today than at any
time since the slump of 1920; that the
decline in commodity prices since the
first of the year has more than neu-
tralized the slight upward trend in liv-
ing costs, and that the average num-
Der of hours worked and the average
weekly earnings have been higher this
year than at any time since 1922. All
Of which means that demands for ad-
vanced wages or decreased hours of
work are entirely out of place at this
time. That such demands will be
made, however, abundant evidence in
dicates.
THAT wherever possible manage.
ments should take this opportunity to
inaugurate the open shop is also un-
questioned by every one having at
heart the welfare of American indus
try."-New York Commercial, July 10.

conferences, discussions), and for the
initiation of various mass campaigns
4. The organization bureau Of the
2. c. c. I. is of the opinion that the
Communist parties Of those countries
in which Communist children's organ
izations already exist must, in the i'm
mediate future. get reports from the
Y. G. L. on the status OF this work,
and on their part adopt a series of
practical measures for the indications
outlined above.
5. In those countries in which
there is as yet no children's organiza-
ton, or in which it is still very weak
| poland, Czecho-Slovakia, Austria,
Holland, Belgium, Italy, etc., it is
necessary that the Communist parties
take all possible measures for the
most rapid development Of this work.

L The Communist children's move
L. ment which developed in most of
the large countries OF Europe and
America, and in the Soviet Union and
and the Orient, is Of great Importance
to the Communist parties from the
viewpoint of the training OF a new
revolutionary generation living under
postwar conditions. For the Commu-
mist Parties the Communist children's
movement is question of the revo-
lutionary cadres of the future. In
addition the uniting Of the active
children under the Communist
leadership offers the possibility of
carrying the class struggle into the
school, and thus in the struggle
against the ideology OF the bourgeois
school, developing proletarian class
consciousness in the masses Of work
er's children. For this reason the
Communist parties of all countries
must devote particular attention to
this field Of work and aid the Young
Communist Leagues to unite broad
masses of toilers' children and train
them in Communist spirit
2. The Communist Party directs
the Communist children's movement
thru the Y. G. L., which is able to
assign to this work young forces close
to the children, and which already
i possesses considerable experience on
this field.
The organization bureau Of the E.
c. C. I. considers correct the organiza-
tional basis Of the Communist chill
dren's movement laid down at the last
session Of the enlarged executive OF
the Y. c. L. (nuclei in the schools.
attended by the children, and in the
factories where children work; devel-
opment of the most extensive 1nitia-
/ tive from below and firm direction
from above). The transition from the
present narrowly exclusive work with,
in the organization to mass activity
for the winning OF the unorganized
children, as well as those at present
belonging to opponent organizations,
must be the chief task in the current
activity of the Communist children's
movement. This mass work must be
based upon concrete children's de-
mands on the field of the school strug-
gle and for the betterment of the ma
terial situation of the children. The
combination of these concrete chill
dren's demands with the general pro-
letarian demands, and the support of
the children by the proletarian adult
organizations, are indisputable condi-
tons for the success of this whole
work.
8. The organization bureau Of the
E. c. c. /. records that the attention
thus far devoted by most Communist
parties to questions of the Communist
children's movement has been utterly
inadequate. 1t calls upon all the sec
lions Of the comintern to remedy this
shortcoming in the immediate future.
This attention, and the support to the
Y. C. L. in its work among the chill
dren, must take on the following con-
crete forms:
(a) A systematic supervision Of the
work of the Y. c. L. among the chill
dre1, by discussion of the questions OF
