THE complicated game Of cabinet
: building continues in Germany.
They are juggling with the possibili-
ties Of a small coalition" a "big
coalition" a government of the
CENTRE" a minority government of
the right parties" and even of "gov-
eminent of officials" The social
democracy takes part in this miser-
able indoor sport and thus helps to
obscure the real situation in the eyes
Of the working masses.
It Is but natural that this unworthy
parliamentary game, these under
handed dealings behind the scenes,
these intrigues for cabinet posts, call
forth an everbroadening disillusion-
ment and enlightenment among the
masses.
The economic crisis becomes more
and more serious. The situation is
best characterised in the statement

nomic death has begun and will

INDUSTRY in Germany is dying; the
number Of unemployed is rapidly
growing. The socio-political achieve
ments of the workers have long since
vanished-the bourgeoisie is firmly
determined to make no concessions
to the proletariat Let the unemployed
starve. The lower strata Of the state
employees can continue their already
long drawn out fasting-cure. Petty
bourgeois existences are being ruined
by the hundreds Of thousands. The
crisis grips also agriculture. Symptoms
of discomfort are already appearing
among the peasantry.
The entire people looks to the
government and the parliament and
demands help and the solution of the
crisis. The government however CON
siders itself only provisional and
parliament proves itself incapable to
find any sort of way out. Parliament
is in no position to form an actual
majority government. The only pos

Solve Financial Question;
Organize Youth Fraction

An exchange of snappy communica-
tions between the district Office and
the unit was the result of an unclear
attitude on the question of finances.
Once, however, the question was dis
cussed the entire atmosphere changed.
The comrades Of the unit felt that
the national organization and the dis
trict had not taken into account it's
peculiar local situation. The situation
was really bad Much unemployment
in the locality, etc. Then an accident.
which altho small resulted in creating
a furore; the unit never officially
received the notification of the raise
in dues.
It had therefore gone on record
against the high dues payments. When
the speaker appeared before the meet
ing of the unit and explained: The ma
tional Office is endeavoring to make
dues payments the center point of our
entire finances, the national Office is
in an acute financial crisis which is
threatening the life of the Young
( Worker. Once dues are paid regularly
by all members we can start system
atically to do away with the extra
ordinary methods of raising funds;
we can concentrate on raising money
for special funds outside the league.
The payments can be made easier
if the members pay 10 cents per week,
etc. All this finally resulted in the
unit going on record unanimously for
the payment of the 40 cents which
gave it more time to give to other
matters. Thus youth fraction was
organized in the steel union and the
first study circle in long time was
also organized.

INDUSTRIAL NOTES
The Passaic Strike.

The Passaic textile strike now has
in its ranks few thousand of young
workers, and the Young Workers
League is very active in their ranks.
The young workers problems are now
being taken up especially by the
united front committee which is in
charge of the strike. A special meet
ing of the young strikers has been
called by the committee in order to
discuss youth problems. This step
already shows the step forward which
has been taken by the textile work
ers who realize the Importance of the
youth in the industry and the special
problems which they face. The league
has an organizer in the field now,
Comrade Clarence Miller, and there is
every prospect of a network of Young
Workers League shop nuclei being
built in Passaic as a result of the
strike and the league activity there.
The Eastern Ohio Young Workers
Conference.
Harvey Murphy, special organizer Of
the Young Workers League in the
field, reports from eastern Ohio that
the work of organizing young work
ers' conference in that section of the
country is proceeding very gratifying.
Delegates will bethere from points not
only in Ohio but also in West Vir-
ginia. They are coming from the
mines, the glass works, the canning
factories and as many other of the
big industries as were reached by the
agitation of the league. The response
Of the young workers has been very
enthusiastic and a good working con-
ference will be held in Bellaire on
February 2S.

BY Martin Abern.

OUR party is intensifying its cam
- paign to draw every eligible men,
Der into a labor union and to make
him active therein. Thru the labor
unions, our party gains access to the
large organized mass of workers and
tries to exercise influence and leader
ship over them. Without the Com
munists and left wingers working
within them with a consistent policy
and program, and striving for leader
ship and control on such a basis. talk
OF revolution becomes balderdash.
Nor will it do to talk of other roads
and campaign for dual organizations
as means of contact with and de-
velopment of the working class. "The
development of the proletariat could
not proceed by any other road than
that of the trade unions" declared
Comrade Lenin. America is no excepz
ton to that opinion, despite its
Greens, Lewises, Hillmans and others.
Germany has it's Liepert and Grass
man, England its Macdonald and
Thomas, France its Jouhaux. Yet
revolutionary victory lies in domino
ton of the organizations they now
control.
In these mass organs Of struggle of
the working class, our party members
must be firmly organized in their frac.
tons, always prepared to take up
whatever struggles and issues arise
in the local unions, central labor coun-
ellis, district councils, labor conven-
tons. Communists have to be able
not only to guide the workers gener-
ally along correct paths, to know only
the theoretical phase and development
Of the class struggle, but to lead on
concrete issues.
Various Burning Issues is the Unions.
In the unions will arise many is
sues, all of value, but some more i'm
portant than others, depending on the
situation in and outside the organiza-
ton. However, our members must be
prepared to take the lead in questions
Of wages, living standards, other trade
questions, strike proposals, campaigns
to organize the unorganized, trade
union unity, amalgamation, labor
party and Independent political action
by the workers.

After the Jobhers.
Elias Marks, who is in charge of
the settlements of the cloak shops,
when interviewed by The DAILY
WORKER at Stuyvesant Casino, stat
ed that drive to unionize the big
iobbers has just began. In the past,
many jobbers who had contracts with
the union gave work out to open shop
contractors. The organization com
mittee is investigating and hopes to
rectify this situation as quickly as pos
sible by unionizing the contractor
shops.
Bosses Secure Injunction.
An Injunction against the Interna-
tional Ladies' Garment Workers I'm
ion has been secured by the Renter
Dress Co., 49S Seventh Ave-, one of
the largest dress houses in New York
City. The 400 workers Of the shop
have been on strike for over two
weeks and have set up special strike
headquarters at Bryant Hall, Sixth
Ave, and 43rd st. All Of the large
dress manufacturers are eagerly
watching this struggle, viewing it as
a test case of the strength of the
union. The owners of the Renter
Dress Co. have a gang of sluggers to
intimidate, the strikers. In spite Of
the sluggers and the injunction spir-
tied picketing takes place in front Of
that shop daily.
IT'S Arrests.
Since the organization drive has
started over IT'S workers have been
arrested. This has in no way daunted
the fighting spirit of the militant rank
and filers, who are putting the fullest
amount of life into the struggle.
Those in charge of the drive are Chas.
S. Zimmerman, general manager of
the organization department; Elias
Marks, cloak department, and A. Ko-
retz, dress department.
