THE PARTY AND THE LEAGUE.

Young Worker, because it is the party
organ. There is also the attitude OF
some comrades who do not think that
it is necessary to carry out our facI
tory work together with the party.l
On the other hand, the attitude Of theE
party often corresponds with these,
Such an attitude from both angels iss
incorrect. However the party becauseA
of its political maturity should be this
first to correct this and help theS
league do likewise.
Mutual Representation. +
There must be an interchange of
Representatives and all the units must
work together. Let us look at thea
following decisions of the E. c. G. l.
on the question of the relationships
of the league and the party. This ISL
addressed to the party.
1. Formation of local Y. W. L. wher-i
ever local W. P. groups exist.
2. Formation of Y. w. L. factory
nuclei wherever local w. P. nuclei
exist. y
8. Appointment Of young partyst
members for work in the Y. w. Lid
particularly in weak local groups ands
factory nuclei, also in other organs.
4. Exercise the special care whena
taking over Y. w. L. members in thsi
party in order not to weaken theFi
". w. L.
5. Practical support for the work ofs
the district executives of the Y. w. L.
thru the party district executives.
6. Strict adherence to the rule con-
corning the dispatch Of party repre-
|sentatives into all organs and COM
mittees of the youth and vice-versa.
The representatives of the party ins
the youth committees are not only
to represent" but to collaborate in
a practical manner.
z. Eventual formation Of a special
permanent committee in the centraIq
committee of the party, to watch and
support the Y. w. l.. activities.
There are other points such as the
agitprop and trade union work thati
the e. C. deals with, but these POINTS,
on organization our comrades musti
understand. With such a program wei
can proceed to our work clarified. ]
The program can be applied thruoutl
the country for the whole party per-
sonifies these weaknesses. The league
on the other hand must accept guild .
ance from the party. While we CAM
not expect the program to be initiated
at once, steps towards such activity
must be carried into effect Immediate
ly. When these basic principles are
understood, when the above program
is carried out, the progress Of the
league and party will be noticeable.
This is the only method that will at
tain the real relationships between
the party and league.

NEW YORK CITY On Tuesday,
Sept. Z, we held an educational meet
ing of our concentration group. Every
comrade was to bring as many sym.
pathetic workers from the shop as
possible. The topic of discussion was
''The necessity of belonging to a I'M
ion." Comrade Mike made short IN
PRODUCTION and then it was followed
by questions in which every comrade
and sympathizer participated very en-.
Enthusiastically. | think it was the most
interesting and well attended meet
ing we ever had of the group. / am
convinced that every one of us learn
ed a good bit of the Importance of
belonging to a union. After the meet
ing we sold some trade union litera-
ture. Thus we can see the Importance
of educational meetings with sympa-
thizers.

B. & O. Tardily Falls
in Line With Other
Roads on Shop Wage

BY LELAND oLDs, Federated Press.
The Baltimore & Ohio railroad by
granting it's 10000 shopmen pay in
creases of &c an hour and time and a
half for all work on Sundays and
holidays now takes the lead among
the larger roads Of the country in the
treatment of Its employees. 1t takes
position among the northeastern car
riers which the Pennsylvania and New
York Central will have to follow in
order to maintain their good faith UNI
der the new railroad labor act.
The B. & o. increase establishes a
minimum rate of 75c an hour for me-
chanics and sic an hour for helpers.
The 75c rate for mechanics has been
accorded for more than months on
most of the southern roads. These in
clude Chesapeake & Ohio, Georgia
Florida & Alabama, Seaboard Air Line
and Southern among the union roads
and Atlantic Coast Line, Louisville &
Nashville, Norfolk & Western and
Norfolk & Southern among the non
the Chesapeake & Ohio and the Nor
folk & Western had also granted both
the full &c over the old labor board
rates to less skilled members of the
shop forces and the time and a half
pay for Sunday and holiday work.
Important railroads which have
been paying time and half for Sun
day and holiday work for consider
able period include the Seaboard Air
Line, Central of Georgia, Chicago &
Northwestern, Chicago Burlington &
Quincy, Chicago Milwaukee & st.
Paul, Great Northern, Northern Pa
cific and Grand Trunk.
Recent reiteration by The Wall
Street Journal of the statement that
reduction in operating expenses has
been an important factor in swelling
this years B. & o. profits shows that
the present wage increase was long
overdue. With last years profit at
$12 a share and this years profit
likely to run over SIG a share, the
leader in shop cooperation should
also have led in rates of pay and work
ing conditions.
B. &. o. profits for the first months
of 1926 are $6,5O7,SOO ahead Of the
same period 1925. In July expenses
absorbed only 6S.S9o of revenues COM
pared with 1850 a year ago. This
means that the B. C o. profit bag is
getting 1920 of each dollar paid for
B. & o. service compared with 27.496
in July 1925.
Whether B. & o. will raise its so
dividend to SO or 10 is still discuss
ed in financial circles. The Associat-
ed Press quotes F. E. Blaser, assistant
10 vice-president Galloway in charge
of B. & o. operation, as stating that
the present wage increases meet the
mems demands. He made it plain
that they were not volunteered by the
road.

of Suth Central Alaska, to be held at p. m. on July 2. The body of Alex Toms, native boy, of Unalakleet, was found frozen to death on the trail recently near five mile point, by Gene Doyle, the mail carrier, between Unalakleet and St. Michael, according to information reaching Nome.

letes. Andresen's appearance and the new players that destined to Seward since last year have given the Gateways an opportunity to put a tensely formidable combination on the floor against all corners.
 Probably the most able and hea3y cage star that ever donned a Sew ard uniform, is Ted McEwen who was induced last fail to take over tie basketball squad and coach them during spare hours, t9sk that Ted assumed because of his love for tie game and the development of young st,rs es much as anything else. Sew ardites have had only o1e occasion. however, to witness his sterling play-during the Anchorage series staged here last Nogember-and then he was easily the high point man and rated as the Gusstalding sta" of the series.
 The third new star in the local athletic Armament is popular Jim- my Ratliff, who has a slippery style of his own in getting the ball from the opposition and eluding them com- pletely on the floor, no matter how vicious their attacks. And Jimmy can shoot baskets! Spectators who have been watching Mac, who has been puttnig his squad through, ir preparation for the coming series fol the Soldiers, have marveled at Rat liff's back and side arm shots per forating the elusive hoop in amazing succession. Add to the foregoing trio, Johnson, Dyer, Tinker ant Chya, and any opposing team vii have work cut out for them to sticl to the finish.
