To Inc YoG0g Communist

To the Young Communist Workers
In all Countries.

Comrades;
We send YOU our warmest Conc
munist greetings for the Goth ami
versary Of the First International
Youth Conference
The Young Communist Information
al is the rightful inheritor Of the
great revolutionary fighting traditions
of the Socialist Youth international
which was founded twenty years ago
in Stuttgart. 1t suffices to mention
the name Of Karl Liebknecht in order
to bring before our eyes the glorious
past of the international Youth
Movement. The youth has followed
honestly and courageously the path
shown it by IiebEnecht twenty years
ago at the Stuttgart Conference.
Prosecuted by the police and all
organs of the capitalist state, it has
realized from the beginning the i'm
portance of illegal work. Exposed to
the mistrust and the suppressive at
tempts Of the social democratic and
trade union bureaucracy, it has, right
from its beginning, swan against the
stream. 1t has grown up right from
the beginning in the fight against OPP
portunism Today, when the danger
of war is again approaching, when a
fresh great treachery is being pre-
pared, when in every capitalist coun-
try passivity in the face of the pre-
parations for war constitutes the most

dangerous and criminal form of op-
portunism, we think especially Of the
great historical merits which the
youth movement gained in the period
of the Socialist Youth International
before and during the imperialist war
by its anti-militarist work and by its
actions against the war.
The great traditions of the old in

passed to the Young Communist In

task. May the memory of the twenty
years past connect our Young Com
munist organizations still more closely
with the mass of the young proIe-
tarians.
Inseparably connected with the rev.
dictionary ideas of Lenin and Karl
Liebknecht, indissolubly allied with
the masses of the young workers of
all countries, faithful to the traditions
of the Stuttgart Congress, the Young
Communist International will along
with US achieve victory and annihilate
all the forces of Imperialism and mill
tarism until the world triumph of the
social revolution.
Long live the Young Communist

TEN YEARS SCIENTIFIC AND TECHNICAL
ACHIEVEMENTS

THERE were in 1917 only 250 electric stations in Russia
with capacity of one million klowatt of energy
per year Towards the beginning of 1927 the capacity
had increased by 100000 owatt and towards the be-
ginning of 1928 another 100000 Soviet technique prom
ises to give another 100000 kowat by the end of 1925
The Shatur Electric Station built during the first
years of the Soviet Government is the first peat electric
station in the world Not only Europe but also America
is taking lessons from that station Soviet engineers
were the first to apply hydro method of
curing peat. Human labor has been made almost COM
petey mechanical and protected from possible diseases
coming from marshes.
The Volkhovstroy gives annual saving of Is million
pools of fuel; the Svrsroy will give saving of 25
million pools per year.
The construction of the Dnieperstroy is in full pro-
gress and it will entirely change the economic and in
dustria conditions of the southern district of
Ukraine.
Before the war the chemical industry of Russia de-
pended entirely Europe. Under the Soviet Govern
whole series of scientific research Institutes has
been formed and the country is rapidly freeing itself
from dependence other countries.
Soviet laboratories produce $50 chemicals out of
the 300 known.
Before the war; chemical fertilizers exclusively
imported Now deposits of three hundred billion pools
of phosphorus have been discovered Mass extraction of
nitrogen from air is already in progress and deposits of
calcium have been discovered
The railway network increases from year to year.
Large main railway lines laid out such the Semr
encheskaya Railway, for instance.
Many airnes already in operation.
Radio experts of both hemspheres have charge of the
work in the Nizhngorod Radio Laboratory. The Amer
leans consider the cathode lamps of Soviet production
the best in the world.

age of 700 tons of paper per month"; the subsequent
year, 1000 tons and in 1925-26 100 It's prewar
output 100 tons per month The Sverdov Celluloid
Mill produced in 1923-24-60O of celluloid per
month; in 1924-25-1,000 and now its output is
1900 tons per month.
Before the war; the Sokol employed 700 people; now
there $500 people employed; the Sverdov mill in
creased its staff from 900 to 1900 people.
The two mills combined invested in 1924-25 about
million roubes in new constructions in 1925-26 they
spent two million roubles These investments en-
abed them to improve their equipment to rationalize
the labor and to improve the working conditions

RAILWAY APPRENTICES.
The age of admission to the professional schools has
been fixed at not higher than 25 years of age
In 1925-26, in number of workshops, new methods
adopted which enable the students to obtain the
necessary qualification in shorter period (36 months
instead of years..
This method worked out by the Central Insti-
tue of Labor scientific organization engaged in the
training Of instructors for the apprenticeship schools
1t has already supplied the railway apprenticeship
schools with 284 instructors.
The number of apprentices fixed by the terms of
the general agreement with the railway adminstra-
ton, and it increases year by year. Thus there were
10000 in 1924, $1,000 in 1924,25 $4,000 in 1885
and 25-26,000 are contemplated for 1926-27
Such numbers of apprentices found to be suf-
flcient for the amount OF traffic the railways and

ever the steady growth in the volume of trade on the
railways will necessitate further increase in the

McGraw was named F'ilimon Kara

his parents to Detroit at the age OF
8. which almost makes him a native
of the motor metropolis. When he
started to belt his way to listed
prominence seven years ago the
ringsiders could not pronounce his
name so his manager decided to
brand him with monicker that
would get some place in newspaper
headlines.
His manager was great admirer
of John McGraw, the wizard of the

would become McGraw. Loud shouts
of John failed to attract the at

finally decided to call him Phil
McGraw. He has fought all the

~ whether he can take a husky
punch on the chin and still bore

The former title holder is certain
that his physical condition is sound;
that his punching power is as great
as ever. and his footwork fast enough
to carry the high-powered artillery
into close range for heavy work on
Jack Sharkey's body. But he realizes
that on the way in he will be hit hard
and often, and he is anxious to dis
cover his reaction when fists are
drumming on his own chin. lights

of a million bees in his head.
Jack has fought only IL rounds in
two fights In almost four years. When

Jack came back in fury to sink the

Sharkey in the Yankee Stadium.
Dempsey is 81, and the reaction of
his muscles to the commands of the

Sharkey exhibited flashes of speed
yesterday, but it was impossible to
sustain the action. He boxed six
rounds in all and skipped rope and
punched the light bag to conclude the
day. He looked good against Marco

miss frequently and got hand from
the small crowd that braved the
weather for peek at the training.

toes and shot fast left after picking
off or knocking down his opponent s

manager, was talking of fight with
Pauline Uzcudun. who accomplished
what Sharkey failed to do by knock

Buckley said Sharkey would be
willing to take on the Spaniard any

gest that Pauline might be taken on
before the title match in September
provided Sharkey beats Dempsey.
