their act to be staged at the Interna-

these facts only: They will appear
in their working clothes. The act
calls for action and they mean to give
it. Tell all the fighting left wingers

WASHINGTON, March 10.-After
lengthy hearings in public and much
argument behind locked doors, the
house judiciary committee is about to
give its decision as to whether Judge
English of the federal district court
of East st. Louis, ILL.,, shall be recon-
mended to the house for Impeachment
before the senate. If the committee
and the house vote for impeachment,
this will result in the first trial of a
federal judge before the bar of the
senate since Judge Archibald of Penn
sylvania in the winter of 1928.
Archibald was convicted of having ac-
cepted gifts from coal companies that
had important litigation in his court.
Judge English was appointed to the
federal bench by President Wilson at
the request of the late Samuel Com
pers. He had been friendly to or
ganized labor. After he got his Judi
cial job he became extremely arbi-
trary and hostile toward organized la

THE YOUTH AND TRADE UNIONISM
BY eERMINAL ALLARp.

1t is OF utmost Importance, that the
members of the Young Workers (Com.
munisD League become union mem
bers. The young Communists must
become leaders of the militants in the
unions as well as fighters for work
ing conditions and wages of the young
workers. In the unions there is a
good field for carrying on league
work; for getting our members in
contact with the everyday struggles
Of the masses.
The slogans and demands, political
and economic, can be executed at the
same time that the masses struggle
for better living standards under this
system. 1t gives opportunities to the
young Communists who are strug.
Cling against and feeling the oppres.

mass of backward young workers
their true position in the class strug.

munist League. The most solid forti-
hcation that we can begin to build
against the capitalists is the unioniza-
ton of our members thru which we
can gain the leadership in the strug-
giles of tie young workers.
In this respect the young Commun-
lists must follow the policies of the
adult Communists. Many of us are in
experienced in this work, therefore it
is necessary to follow the tactics of
the experienced comrades. In the gen
eral demands of the union we follow
the lead of the party fraction. How
ever, on the special demands of the
young workers the young members
must be in the lead and enroll the
adult workers in the struggle.
Once we begin to penetrate the
workers. make them conscious and
win their confidence, by our everyday
action within the trade unions. then
we can really say that we are be-
coming mass organization-the van
guard of the most exploited section
OF the working class-the working
class youth.

school board of the city Of Topeka
Is facing probable lawsuit for its
discrimination and mistreatment Of
Negro school children as the result
of a probe that is now being carried
on by a parents committee. The
parents are protesting against the
inadequate facilities for the trans
portation Of the children from dis
trlcts where there are no schools to
the Monroe and Washington schools.
At the parents mass meeting it
was pointed out that the small Ne
gro children had to stand in mud

ton in the cold waiting for transpor-
tation to the school. The parents
threaten to bring suits against the
city for any serious illness that may
result to the children from this mis-
treatment.

Meetings
ORGANIZATION
CONFERENCES
ARE SUCCESS
Party Functionaries Dis
cuss Activities

Successful organization conferences
we're recently held in the cities of
Philadelphia, Boston and Buffalo
where Comrade Martin Abern report
ed for the central executive committee
on the national organization confer
ence of Feb. %. The meetings were
very we'll attended by the party func-
tfonaries of the shop and street nuclei
and the executive committees of the
sections, sub-sections, etc. At the
Boston conference, there were com
rades present from the outlying cities,
Worcester, Brockton, Lynn, Quincy.
Maynard, Fitchburg, Norwood and
other cities.
Comrade Abern reported on the
various party campaigns, but dealt
particularly with the question of the
functioning Of the nuclei, the execu-
tive committees, trade union cam
paign. language fraction organization
and the foreign-born campaign. The
district organizers, Alex Bail of Phila-
delphia, Bert Miller of Boston made
additional reports on the specific To-
cal campaigns and issues.
Essentially the same problems con-
fronted the districts in the work of
building the nuclei: language diff
culties, matter of attendance, lack of
leading comrades, assigning and dis
tributing work among more of the
members, trade union activity, liter
ature, printing of shop bulletins. etc.
However, since the reorganization has
been completed, the progress and i'm
provement have been definite. The
establishment of the executive COM
mittees on a better functioning and
leading basis, elimination of routine
from the meetings, an agenda at the
nuclei meetings on shop reports by
all the members, individual reports
on trade union activity and work in
the fraternal organizations, stimulat-
ing workers correspondents, individ-
ual assignment of work in the shops,
such as leaflet distribution, drive for
subscriptions, will help greatly in de-
veloping live nuclei. Stress was laid
on the party members being alive to
participation in and leading the way
in the struggles for more wages, bet
ter hours, strike situations, etc. The
foreign-born campaign, it was report
ed, is being pushed energetically in
all districts. Additional reports were
made on educational work, defense
activity, particularly the Zeigler and
Bimba cases and labor party.
The delegates participated in the
lively and lengthy discussions that
followed. Numerous questions were
put on practical phases of the party
work. New York. Chicago and other
districts are yet to hold organization
conferences to hear reports from the
national organization committee and
to take up the district problems.
