Punched Pioneer Head
Causes Stir

LOS ANGELES, Calif.-The arrest
of Anna Lyons, district Young Pioneer
director of the Young Workers Com
munist) League, for assembling with
100 working-class children in Syca-
more Grove on May list has caused
quite stir here. The red-baiting Los
Angeles Times states that Park Super
intendent Hayes had reported to AS
sistant City Prosecutor Krowl that
woman led the children in the cry,
'Hurrah for Russia! To - with
the United States!'" Later, accord
ing to the report, it was learned that
the woman was Comrade Lyons. OF
course, the reported cheers are pure
buncombe. The cheers which were
very likely used were, "Hurrah for the
Workers and Farmers Government of
Russia!l Down with capitalism and
the capitalist government in the
u. S."
Comrade Lyons pleaded mot guilty"
to the charge and the case will be
fought.

Boston Communist
Youth Greet Y. CT.
in KOstromG, U.S.S.R.

BOSTON, Mass.-The Young Com
munists of the Kostroma District in
the Soviet Union have sent our Bos-
ton comrades their hearty greetings
and we have responded in part as
follows:
From our YOUNG WORKER of
May LIST, 1926, we find out of the many
presents and greetings you have ex-
tended to lis thru Comrade J. William
son, for which we wish in the name
of the Young Workers (Communist)
League of this district to extend our
heartiest thanks and Communist greet
ings.s
1.-THE conditions of the young work
ers in America and in our district in
particular are getting worse every
day. Wages range from So to SIS per
week. Sanitary conditions, particu-
larly of the young workers in the tex
tile mills (the leading industry in our
district) is very bad. In one mill
more than 300 accidents happened
last year. This holds good not only
for the textile industry but for the
biscuit, shoe, candy and many others
as we'll.
"Thapks to our N. e. c. and our
world Header, the Young Communist
International, we are on the road to-
wards becoming a mass organization
in the United States. We are concen-
tratinp nm the large shops and facto-
ries, not, however, overlooking the
small places where young workers are
employed. Altho we have only 12O
members in the League, we already
have 500 children in the Young
Pioneers League.
"The struggle in which you have
already won your victory must be
finished here too. We will win I'M

Peoria Moves Nearer to
MOScoW Jx.

A most startling example which
speaks for itself and needs very little
comment, of how to build our oraanl-
zatlon by building our press ls the
one Of Peoria, III.
Only short time ago nobody hardly
heard Of Peoria beyond the fact that
the miners held their convention there
two years ago and the DAILY
WORKER got Farrington's goat by
being right there on the job. But we
did not have an organization-we only
had one comrade there. So when St
came to appointing the quotas in the
present DAILY WORKER campaign
Peoria was only assigned 1000 points,
modest amount given to small towns
where there are few comrades.
We did not quite expect Peoria to
get even that many. But we over
looked something-we forgot all about
Comrade Max Cohen. Which, how
ever, did not mean that Comrade
Cohen forgot about the Communist
press. And besides Comrade Cohen
was always anxious to organize
League in Peoria. So all Of a sudden
subs started pouring in from Peoria.
Comrade Cohen was determined-it
was, as he said, Moscow or (a)
Bust!" Well, Comrade Cohen has a
Bust already Zone of Lenin, a beauti-
full thing given to every worker Sc
curing 500 points in the campaign
and he sure means to get to Moscow.
Peoria is ahead of any city in the
United States in filling their quota
it has So per cent filed and the cam
paign is not half over yet. Peoria is
going to win the beautiful silk banner
from the Communist Party Of Mos
COW and Comrade Cohen has a cork
ing chance of going to Moscow, as all
the subs were secured by himself.
But that is not all-the last letter
we got from Comrade Cohen Announces
the formation of Young Workers
League in Peoria. Comrade Cohen
writes: q. we'll the secret Is outl
All we need is place to meet. had
to get subs and the formation Of
League was one of the ways to do
i'll" By talking to young workers,
from whom he secured Young Worker
subs, Comrade Cohen was successful
in getting them interested to the point
where he had enough members to
start unit of the Y W. L.
II all the comrades in the country
felt about the sub campaign the way
Comrade Cohen felt, this is what
would happen: We would not only
make the DAILY WORKER drive a
huge success and get hundreds of new
subs for the DAILY WORKER and
YOUNG WORKER, but we would have
League in every town where we
have none at the present time and we
would build up our existing Leagues
to be real strong functioning organi-
cations.
All we say to you, comrades (quot-
ing the well-known old Bible) GO

very few comrades land not the only

pathizers. turned our movement into
an organized fraction of the American
Workers (Communist) Party.
AS our great leader, Lenin, origi-
mated the dictatorship of the prolet-
ariat and fought with all his strength
and ability for the liberty Of the
toling masses Of the world, so every
comrade Of our party should follow
the same path. We demand his col
liberation in building up our move
ment. 1t is time to put an end to all
kinds Of internal and external faction
alism and to start real work for broad
ening the frame of the Armenian
Fraction.
All Armenian workers from New
York to Los Angeles Join under the

Huncnak1St Party.
The Armenian Workers Party, dur
ing the period Of two years, did a
great deal to unite the toiling masses
in this country and the Armenian
workers, in turn, followed with great
interest and attention the activities,
led by the Armenian Workers Party
Later, however, the unification with
the Hunchakist dealt blow to our
movement. The controversial atti-
tude of the social democratic Huncha-
kist leaders and some of the steps
taken by our comrades resulted in a
factional fight which has gone on up
to this time.
Join The Party.
We, the members of the former
Armenian Workers Party, who up to
this time have remained outside of
the Armenian fraction of the Workers
(Communist) Party, declare that we
cast aside all the past controversies
and personal prejudices and declare
our intention to unite within the
ranks of the American Workers
(Communist) Party Armenian Frac-
ton. We appeal to all the Armenian
workers who are class conscious to
support our effort and to Join the
Workers (Communist) Party of this
country and to aid in building the
Armenian Communist Press and in
drawing the Armenian workers into
the campaign for the Protection Of
the Foreign-Born, into support of the
International Labor Defense build
ing Of Workers Educational Clubs as
well as other important tasks of the
workers in this country.
Only Effective Within Party.
Only within the ranks of the Work
ers (Communist) Party can we see
the salvation of the workers of this
country.
The strengthening and growth Of
the Workers (Communist) Party
means the death Of the bourgeois So
cial order
In making this declaration of our
Intentions to enter and support the
work Of the Workers (Communist)
Party and its Armenian Fraction, we
ask an explanation from our former
leading comrades, who had left the
party and its work, such as S. Chu-
chan, S. Sidal, P. Minasin, Kasandi-
sian, A. Tatian, A. Shulakian, S. Kala-
milan, A. Demerazian, A. Gulasaria.
We want to know whether these com
rades were true leaders or not. We
would like to have them answer this
question publicly.
We also mention Comrade L. Mar
dirassian and declare that it is not
enuf for him to be a simple member,
but that our expectations of him are
greater than that.
We also appeal to Comrade S. Sin
arian in Armenia. Comrade Sinarian
should know that he is one of the

this needed reform it would be above
political intrigue. None have denied
the need although some have ex-
pressed doubt whether 100000 en-
ployes might be discharged and
saving Of half a billion dollars an
nually be made without disorganiz-
ing some Of the commissions and bu-
reaus required by certain Congress
sional laws.
But Congress is very Jealous of its
prerogatives. 1t may say to its con-
stituents that bestowing such auto
cratic power on a President In time
of peace would establish dangerous
precedent; that the time might come
when a demogogue in the Presi-
Dental Office might have demagogic
Congress back of him and here would
be q precedent for establishing auto
cratic power. Anyhow. there seems
to be little likelihood that Congress
will do this thing, which Mr.. Davey
proposes; but he is zealously insist
stituents will urge their representa-
tives to pass the bill. He says he is
appalled, at the loafing. Indifference
and inefficiency; that the tendency is
to increase this, and he might add
that up to date the Congress nor the
public have made any great. serious
effort to start TIE tendency in the
other direction. Instead. congress-
men are asked to find places for their
supporters and well meaning persons
are continually asking them to pass

pense. Not only should the voters

| tives but be ready to cooperate.

Now let me put on my Memory Cap,
Little Reader. Sometimes your Uncle
Dave must ponder moment or two
| to remember how he ended the last
story. Hadn't Professor Jim Crow
just read some interesting things
about trees? From his Wisdom Book
hadn't he informed dear Uncle Lucky
and Little Jack Rabbit that the bark
| Is the clothing of trees? Then he had
flown away. SO there was nothing
to do but start up the Luckysnow-
bile thought the old gentleman rab-
bit, and he was just about to glide
away when, all of a sudden, just
, like that, quick as the wind that
blows off your hat, the Big Brown
Bear came running toward them.
''Uncle Lucky! Uncle Lucky!" he
shouted, wait a minute!" and pretty
soon, not so very long, all out of
breath, the big furry animal leaned
against the Luckysnowbile and .ex-
claimed:
/ poor little Buster has a bad cough;
| He almost sneezes his nightqap off.
| Oh won't you go for DR.. Quack
| And bring him up to my little shack"
! "Of course 1 WILL" answered kind
hearted Uncle Lucky. Here's a

candy from his waistcoat pocket. the
dear old gentleman bunny handed
it to the Big Brown Bear. Then off
he and Little Jack Rabbit went in

pies ills with Bunnysuckle Candy
Pills.

bumpAand a mile, for the road was
rough and the snow was deep and
the little red sleds could hardly
creep.
Dear, Oh DEAR" sighed the old
gentleman rabbit as all of sudden
the Luckysnowbile came to a stand
still, whats the trouble now? Are
/ the little red sleds tired or is the
snow too deep? What is the matter,
