May Day and Child Health Day

Gent in some particular way or other
And it thinks that it must worry so
the same things do not happen in time
of another war. Not becase dt wants
to help the children or the working
class youth of America, but because
the capitalist class must have healthier
cannon fodder for it's next war. Aside
from this, let us take up the question
Of why 80 per cent of this youth that
was examined in the last war was a
physical wreck in one way or another.
This the health council does not point
out. The workers themselves must
look into the matter The newsboys,
for instance, who are pedcEng news
papers from early in the morning till
early next morning, who are of the
ages from IA to as low as 5. We find
that this child health council mem
tions nothing about this. Nor does
it mention about the youth who from
the age of IA to as low as IL in the
Heinz factory of Pittsburgh or in the
D. L. Clarks, and other factories.
OF course this they do not point to.
This kind of news must be suppressed.
HooVerized Council.
This child council, which has organi-
cations all over the United States,
seems to think that parents make their
children go to work because they want
to, or that the parents deliberately
neglect their own children. 1t does
not point out that the children are
forced to work because the boss class
wants profits, nor it does not point
out that the children are neglected
because of the same reason and the
mothers and fathers of the youth have
no means to pay to have the eyesight
or dental work taken care Of. The
name Of the organization which spon-
sors this move to try to make healthier
material for slaughter in the next war
is called the American Ch1ld's Health
Association. The head of the organi-
cation is Herbert Hoover.
We also find that President Coolidge
and all the governors have endorsed
this week. OF course all who are rep
resentatives of the boss class must
do the bidding of the boss class to see
that the youth ds healthy enough for
the army, but at the same time to see
that it is mentally dead so that it will
be willing to take instructions without
questioning whether they are correct
or not. In other words, that it should
be willing to fight against the working
class.

CITY THREATENS
TO BREAK STRIKE
IN CLEVELAND, 0,
Building Laborers Are
Holding Firm

CLEVELAND, o., April 30.-The
strike of the building laborers threat
ems to be broken by the city admins
tration Of Cleveland. At the Kirkland
pumping station, now under construc.
ton, the men struck for higher wages,
, which the contractors refused to con
cede The work stopped at once. The
contractors, thru the Builders Elk
change and the chamber of commerce
Immediately began a campaign. There
will be a shortage of water and the
community will be menaced, etc, etc. "
But the station cannot be completed
until September in any case.
The laborers are holding out in their
strike, and building is being held up
There are 10000 to $4,000 building
workers idle, and the contractors are
losing money.

operate in any way to avert the public
peril which their strike order has
created and seem determined to take
advantage of the public menace in
volved in the Kirkland situation as
means of enforcing their demands for
wage increase. The only course
now open to the city appears to be to
take the work out of the hands of the
contractor and complete 1T as city
lob. The city's work must go on"
Charles Smith, business representa-
live of the Building Trade Council
assuming that the city would use open
sbop labor, said: 1--WE won't be fool
ish enough to fight the city"
5 The contractors refuse to pay the
laborers decent wages, even tho the
workers have been willing to compro
mise their demands. SO the city ad'
ministration will try to break the
strike of the laborers.

CARNEY SEEKS -
TO DEPORT HIS
DIVORCED WIFE
Fears She May Publish
His Biography


NEW YORK, April 3O-Marcus Gar
very, self-styled provisional president
general of Africa, has demanded that
the United States deport his wife,
Mrs. Amy Askwood Garvey, on
grounds of moral turpitude.
This demand on the part of Garvey
from his cell at Atlanta came follow
ing a raid on the home of his divorced
wife by detectives from the Boulin
Detective Agency. The detectives de-
clare they found Garvey's former wife
with another man. The raid is looked
lpon as frame-up with the intention
Of discrediting Garvey's former wife
md having her deported.
Garvey's first wife is writing a book,
'The Rise and Fall of Marcus Gar
vey." 1t is declared that in. this book
she discloses many things that are I'M
pleasant to this self-styled provisional
president general of Africa. In the
raid on her home fifteen pages Of this
book were stolen. 81
Mrs. Amy Ashwood Carney has ap-
piled to the police for protection
against further raids on her living
luarters by detectives, whom she de-
clares are hired by Garvey's friends
N an attempt to steal the manuscript
in which she reveals many hitherto
unknown secrets of Garvey's career.

Propaganda in Shops

l. The shop nucleus form means
that every member of the party be-
comes an active member and a propa-
gandist among the non-party workers
with whom he comes in contact in the
shop. Propaganda ceases to be the
function of a few leading individuals
and becomes a function of the entire
party.
II. Methods Of Work.
There are two incorrect extremes
in work in the shop. The comrade
who gets job at a. m. and is called
'sTrotzky' by his companions at 10 and
is fired by the boss at IL. His spirit
is good, but he does not know how to
carry on Communist work. Then
there is the comrade who works
thirty years in the shop and even the
other party members do not know that
he is a party member. He is much
worse than the first type. Our work
must be done in such way that it is
not easy for the boss to discover who
is doing it, and fire him, but at all
costs the work must be done.
III. Methods of Approach.
Connect all your propaganda with
the shop problems. Utilize everything

MAY DAY
BY a Worker Correspondent

T ENTERED into conversation with
1 worker of German extraction in
my shop. We discussed the present
economic and political situation in the
world and especially in Germany. He
was much depressed by the present
beggardly situation in Germany.
'Ah, my FRIEND he sighed, 81 am
grateful for the fact that l am no
longer a young man. The misery of
my fellow workers in Germany is
breaking my heart"
Then l told him Of the movement to
free the oppressed peoples of the
earth. l told him about the work of
the Communist international and that
in the last German election the Com
munists polled over three million
votes. When l told him about May
Day his face positively became trans
formed with joy.

May Day celebrations Another soldier
has enlisted in the army of the victo-
rious proletariat. z

A FTER the white terror of 1888,
"A the right-wing leaders of the Fin
nish social-democracy believed that
hey could take over the control of the
Finnish labor movement. But this
was a mistake The Finnish workers,
released from prison camps, were not
defeated in spirit. Already in 1920
the trade union convention elected the
left wing to leadership. A little later
the trade unions of Finland decided
by a two-thirds majority to join the
II. !. l.. U. This decision, however,
could not be put into effect, because
the social-democratic minority threat
ened split. And the police were also
out for prey.
Since then an unceasing, struggle
has gone on, the social-democrats try
ing to use every opportunity to seize
control. Their main argument has
been that the left wing leadership is
"Communist"-in a country where the
Communist Party must remain under
ground and even left-wing social
party was dissolved three years ago.
The attempts of the social-democratic
leaders to organize dual unions have
been defeated by their own followers.

MAY DAY is approaching. AS usual,
lVI the capitalist class is trying to
confuse the workers and draw their
attention away from the International
Labor Holiday. They have instituted
the so-calIed chIIdren's Health Week.
In different cities proelamations are
being issued to observe one day in
the week as chiIdren's Health Day.
Some places It is on May list. In
Pittsburgh It Is going to be observed
on May 3rd. The Pittsburgh Child
Health Council points out that one
hundred thousand children in Allie
gheny county lack open air facilities.
over $4,000 have defective vision and
over $4,000 are in need of dental work.
During this week there will be thou
sands of circulars issued calling upon
the parents Of the children and trying
to show them the Importance Of the
above facts. But of course this will be
about all, for how can the parents see
that proper attention is given to their
children when it costs money to see
that it is done.
No Remedy
The same organization points out
that thousands of children in Ale
gheny county are working in the facto-
ries when they should be in school.
OF course it points out that they should
be in school, but it does not give any
remedy. How can these children go
to school when there are and and
sometimes even in a family and
the father makes as low as 35 and 80
cents an hour, on which he is sup
posed to support the whole family,
which is an impossibility. In the
whole year one week is devoted to
propaganda about taking care Of the
youth. The rest Of the year it seems
that these same people forget that
such a thing exists as child labor in
this country and some of them even
keep on exploiting this same youth
which they are hollering about during
this one week. When they holler you
would think that they are doing it for
the betterment of the youth, but there
seems to be a catch to everything
that the capitalist class tries to put
over. AS usual the capitalist class
does not run its propaganda for moth
ing. ee4

pointed representative to the labor
bureau of the league of nations, thus
violating the decisions of the conven-
lions. They invited the secretary of
Amsterdam, Oudeg1leest, to visit Fin
land altho the Finnish unions do not
belong to Amsterdam. This decision
was so strongly opposed by the masses
that the guest foundit wise to decline.
1t was, therefore, not absolutely GER
tain how the fight would end which
was launched by the social-democratic
leaders last fall and which has ragged

trade union congress and the question
is: Who should control it?

papers were modified to defeat Com
munist rule" The social-democrats
demanded as an ultimatum afflliation
with Amsterdam. The political police
has also helped in starting proceedings
against left-wing unionists and the
radical youth, who have been arrested
by the scores.
But all in vain. The message
reaches us from Finland that the

third OF the delegates. They may

the membership in the unions. And

BY a Young steel Worker.

CANNONSBURG, Pa, have work
ed in the steel mills for three years
and l am not seventeen years old yet.
This shows what kind of labor power
the capitalists get. They hire boys
IA years of age to do a mans work
and receive school-boys wages. In the
Hot Mill department of the Standard
Tin Plate company, boys work there
like beavers and receive $4,000 for Is
days. They are the help-catchers, if
you ever worked in or around a steel
mill you would know what it is.
The Hot Mill is a graveyard to many
men. In the summer they are in a
state of collapse before the day is
half-over. There is plenty of smoke
that chokes worker, so when they
get a chance to rest they go out lin
the open air to get the opposite from
what they get inside. In this depart
ment they have a union local 79)
which isn't worth a damn because
there are too many members of the M.
Tighe reactionaries instead of Work
ers Party or Y. w. L. members. In
the last convention there were two
supposed-to-be militants to fight the
resolution to expel all Communists out
of the unions, but in the end they
crumbled before M. Tighe who recent
ly said before a mass meeting, why
should condemn the employer"
The patent doubler (jack-ass) is
being installed in all mills. The man
who works on 1t makes SIS or So a day

Until We get rid of the Tighe machine
here will be no union for the benefit
IF workers and not the company.
In the Cold Roll department there
are from 100 to $50 workers on two
turns who are being exploited worse
every day. The majority of the work
ers slave hours for nearly $500 and
sometimes they don't get that. The
minority get still less than that. In
this department, you will get layed off
for anything, and sometimes fired be-
cause these are plenty of men looking

Youth Fights Against
Anti-Alien Legislation
Rx MAI. KAY.

BOSTON-On Tuesday and Thurs
day nights April the 20, and 20, the
first open air meetings to protest
against the persecution of the foreign
born workers were held by the league
in this city.
Hundreds of people were eagerly
listening to our speakers who not only
exposed these bills before the con-
gress as an effort to tie hand and foot
of the workers but that these bills are
an attempt on behalf of the employers
to force down the standard Of living
of first the alien worker and then that
of the native born workers.
The speakers emphasized the dan
ger of the possibility of these bills to
pass in these capitalist law-factories
unless an energetic real united fight
of all labor forces Is put up.
Not only we're the workers listening
convinced of the necessity to fight
these slave plans by the American
capitalist government and TO stop the
persecution Of the foreign born work
ers thru united action but that they.
each one, must do their share. This
was expressed by the fact that many
petition lists were filed with sigma
lures at these meetings.
Over 100 pamphlets ON the foreign
born were sold. Young Workers were
sold to many present and sympa-
thizers were gained.
These meetings are but part of the
systematic work in this field carried
on by the units in this district in the
factories, shops. schools, etc, where
wide propaganda and literatures is
sold and signatures are obtained.
The Young Workers League in this
district Is not going to end this work
until the laws against the American
working class are defeated.

 BUSINESS OF PR0SPECTORs
Alaska Glacier Tours Association Prospecting For Game And Scenery To Attract
 Tourists

Prospecting. not for gold, silver or copper, but for scenic wonders and wild game, a number of enter prising Anchorage citizens have found a vein that promises to re turn a good assay to the company which is now operating 1t. namely. the Alaska Glacier Tours Associa- tion.
 Forming of the organization now makes it possible for one to see and enjoy the grandeur and splendor of scenery off the beaten path of tray el and to hunt moose. bear and sheep in the wilds, where they ex- ist in abundance. With the accom- odations provided by the associa- tion all this can be done in com paratiYe comfort.
 After boarding the association s boat, the Atka, at Anchorage, seek CTS of adventures have an opportu- nity to view the wooded expanses bordering Turnagain Arm and Cooks Inlet and snow capped mountains in the distance, before reaching the Kusilof river. Along the Kusilof are located several of Alaskas finest fox farms, where many black foxes are now being raised Continuing the journey to the base camp of the organization, the trip up the white glacial wa ters of the Kusilof is made in a boat propelled by the action of a Fordson tractor motor. This boat is thought to be the only one which has ever aseended the swift river with supplies without aid from shore.
 After reaching Tustemena lake the remainder of the journey to the base camp, located in a grove of spruce trees on Birch creek, is made aboard either of two launches operated only on the lake. Three glaciers near Tustemena lake add to the beauty of the section.
 At distance from the base camp, outpost camps are located where moose, brown and black bear and sheep are plentiful. At the pres ent time, salmon fishing is a priyi- lege denied man, but the bears hay ing little respect for man-made laws can be seen busily angling for salmon which are going up the streams to spawn in that section.
 The first party to be conducted by the association is now in camp. Twelve hunters are expected to be on hand when the hunting season opens. The number of parties that the organization has arranged to handle this year has already ex- ceeded earlier expectations for the first season.
