Big Boston May Day;
Gitlow Is to Speak

BOSTON, April rs - The United
May Day Conference, consisting of la
Dor and fraternal organizations of the
city of Boston, has reported that plans
are being made for an unusual May
Day celebration this year. 1t will be
held at Franklin Union Hall, Berkeley
and Appleton streets. The chief speak
er will be Benjamin Gitlow who ran
for vice-president on the Workers
Party ticket of last national election.
Other features on the program will be
some very interesting musical num-
bers and a short playlet given in the
most modern proletarian style.
This is the first occasion on which
Boston has united for the celebration
of the international labor holiday on
May First, and it is creating among
the workers a spirit of enthusiasm
and solidarity which will be reflected
in the big turnout in the celebration.

Debate Against Capital
ism Attracts Young
Negroes

DETROIT, Mich.-A debate held
Sunday, April IL, at the Congrega-
tional Forum proved to be a victory
for the Young Workers League OF De-
troit on the affirmative over two stu
dents of the Detroit City College on
the negative by vote of 81 to Is.
The proposition debated was, Resolv-
ed that Capitalism is a Detriment to
the Human Race. Most of the audi
ence were young Negroes. Only %
were whites. Under these circum-
stances the vote indicates the effec-
tiveness of the Young Workers
League debaters.
More such debates are promised.
No doubt because of the success from
an educational point of view even
more interest will be created.

dictionary leadership and substitute
militant leadership for it.
6. Make Communists of the workers
with whom we come in contact, in the
union as elsewhere.
z. Build the Trades Union Educa-
tional League into an organization
taking in all left and progressive ele-
ments willing to fight for a class
policy.
s. Direct the work of the unions and
guide its masses thru the giving or
the proper sort of leadership.
III. How to Do II.
L Unco-ordinated individual effort is
not sufficient. The party members
must work in an organized systematic
fashion thru fractions. Party mem
bers must not disagree with each other
in the union or the Trades Union
Educational League, but decide poll
cies in advance and work painfully.
2. General campaigns of the party
must be tied up to interests, expe-
riences, and practical problems of the
workers in the union.
8. Agitation and propaganda are not
enough. Only every day practical
work in the tasks Of the union will
win the confidence of backward work
ers.
4. Don't talk too much. Accept prac-
tical tasks. Do as much union work
as possible, but not so much that it
prevents your attending the meeting
of your party unit and so separates
you from the party.
5. Know what you are talking about
a. Learn the history Of your
union. Study it's constitution.
Know the rules of order. Know
the agreements, the policy of Of
ticials towards employers.
b. Know your industry-its eco
Monies, employers associations
degree Of organization in the in
dustry, dual unions, company
unions.
c. Study your fellow-unionists

National League and with Washing
ton and Philadelphia in the American,
yet the propaganda of the sports
sheets has the partisans of the other
teams in each league believing that
their favorites have a very good
chance of coming out on top. This
of course accounts for the packed
baseball parks-and makes for mil
lions of dollars profit for the baseball
magnates.
1t is common talk in baseball cir
cles that any sports writer who dares
to write disparagingly-tho truthfully
of the home team, will quickly find
himself without a job. On the other
hand If he boosts the home team
even tho the praise is unwarranted-
then he will find high favor in the
eyes of his chief editor and the sports
promoters. And from the latter will
be forthcoming many complimentary
tickets and passes, and juicy checks
now and then. SO does corrupt jour
nalism pander to commercialized
American sports.

THE New York agitprop department
4 has prepared a list of topics for
nucleus discussions at educational
meetings. The plan is for each nu-
cleus to reserve every other week for
discussion meetings. These are not
abstract educational meetings, but
deal with the concrete problems before
the nucleus, giving them, however, a
proper setting in the general program
and tasks of the party. A comrade is
selected from each nucleus to lead the
discussion. He is assigned his topic,
If possible, a month in advance so as
to have plenty of time to prepare.
The New York agitprop department is
preparing an outline Of each of the
topics. together with a suggested list
OF readings to aid the comrades in pre-
pairing.
As these topics and this procedure
is of great interest to the party as a
whole, we are reprinting the first of
the outlines, which follow:
I. The Present Situation in the Amer-
can Unions.
Conservative leadership, expulsion
policy, capitalist politics, weak craft
structure which cannot fight the big
trusts, tendency to class collaboration
in place of class struggle, aristocracy,
exclusion Of the unskilled, the Ne
grOes, etc.
II. What Are We Trying to Do in the
Unions?
/. Substitute class struggle for class
collaboration.
2. Working-class politics for capital
list politics-labor party.
8. Organize the unorganized work
ers, strengthen the union, amalgamate
all the unions Of given industry and
unity the unions nationally and inter
nationally.
4. Stop and prevent explosions, have
the unions include all tendencies in
the labor movement.

Lithuanian Proletarian
Art Groups Send Help
to Passaic Strikers

A conference of Lithuanian prole-
tartan art groups was held in Wins
Hall. The actors. singers, authors, etc,
affiliated with the Proletarian Art AS
ISOLATION assembled at the confer
ence did not forget the striking Pas
sale textile workers. A donation Of
$50 was voted out Of the district
treasury. A collection in the hall
brought in $13.55. The sum Of S3S.55
was sent to the Passaic strikers relief

tionary Lithuanian government de-
manding the immediate release of all
political prisoners in Lithuania.

range a concert for the next season
for the benefit Of the Communist

brot home to the fansl
At the other opening days in the
dozen or more big league cities, sim
liar patriotic exercises were observed.
When it is considered that around
half million people turned out for
these opening day games, then we can
realize the tremendous popularity of
baseball, then we can see what effec-
tive a means it is for the spread of
nationalist feeling.
In a certain sense, this huge turn
out Of people, is an indication of the
power of the capitalist pre=s. Thru
its sporting columns it is able to work
up the interest of the fans to a fever
pitch. Beginning with stories from
the training camps, about star rock

league and winding up with exagger-
ated accounts of the strength of the

TROTzKY once wrote that every
4 real Communist should be able to
sway and influence at least two score
Of the non-party workers with whom
he comes in contact as his individual
contribution towards making the party
a party of the masses. This can be
equally applied to a Young Commu-
mist, to a member OF the Young Work
ers' League. 1t poses the question as
to the individual work which each
member can do in the development of
our league.
Let us take in this connection the
important task of the reorganization
of the league on the basis of shop
nuclei. Our greatest obstacle to the
accomplishment Of this task is, Of
course, our small and scattered mem
bership. Or to put it in it's practical
aspect, it is the difficulty which the
concentration groups meet in winning
new members.
How does the concentration group
or the shop nucleus-reach the young
workers thru its message? In two
ways: Thru our paper and shop bulle-
tin and thru the personal approach Of
our members in the shop. The first
method, of course, is the mass ap-
proach. 1t has been more or less
thoroly dealt with and its importance
as we'll as technique are fairly we'll
understood. But the second method
that of the personal approach-has
not been given sufficiently detailed
and objective consideration.
The great importance Of the work
of comrade Tor comrades) inside Of
a shop or factory on which we are
concentrating cannot be overesti-
mated. The comrade must serve as
the guide, the eyes, the ears, and, to
certain extent, the voice of the con-
centration group. He must get all the
complaints and information. He must
carefully notice the reaction to every
phase of our activity and OF every
phase of our propaganda. And, above
all, he must make contacts with those
young workers who prove most re-
sponsive to our agitation. The young
workers in shop, even tho favorably
impressed by our activities, are never
theless very reluctant to hand in their
names or to strike up a conversation
with our comrades on the outside. 1t
is the extremely important function of
the comrade inside of the shop to
bridge this gap thru personal contact.
He should watch to see who buys the
paper regularly, who seems to take
the most interest in our shop bulletin,
and who comments most favorably on
