this propaganda and activity with &C.
tual organization if the union does
nothing, in order that this sentiment
should not peter out and the young
workers become discouraged and dis
illusioned.
The plumbers helpers union is an
excellent example of the neglect and
disdain with which the bureaucrats
treat the youth. Neglected for long
time, left in the lurch in the past,
these young workers finally decided
to organize themselves which they
did. They went out in a sympathy
strike with the adult plumbers in
Brooklyn, and stuck it out to the last.
At the same time they took the neces>
sary precaution of making demands
of their own on the bosses, in order
to better their own working condi-
tions, and have succeeded admirably.
Mr.. Music in this case should direct
his appeal to the International Off
Gals, to admit these young workers
who are clamouring at the door of
the union.
Now is the time for the Tabor
movement in America to wake up to
the tremendous possibilities before it.
1t is doubly necessary and imperative
in view of the attacks launched
against it by the employers. The
miners, building trades, and needle
trades are faced with immediate at
tacks on the part of the bosses, and
while in the building trades they may
not succeed, they have succeeded in
the needles trades, and unless the
Lewis policy is defeated in the
Miners, will succeeded there too. The
way to meet the offensive of the en-
ployers is to start counter offensive
against them by organizing the un-
organized, and not to forget to in
clude the youth, the young workers.

up with the specific conditions in the
factory. That is one way. Another
way, in those industries which have
no unions at all and in which there
are many young workers, some union
operating in a general way in the
same industry can be made to claim
jurisdiction, and then proceed to or
ganize. For instance, biscuit making
is an industry by itself and employs
thousands of workers. The bakers
can be had to start an organization
drive. Candy making, no union at
all, the food workers should claim
jurisdiction over them.
While on the one hand if the Off
cial union functioning the industry
can be had to initiate the organiza-
ton drive, very well and good. If
not, the young workers in those in
dustries must be encouraged and
directed in the way of organizing
themselves. Through factory COM
mittees, and factory clubs, through
the utilization of the shop nuclei of
the Workers Party or the Young
Workers League if they exist in
those factories, through developing
the understanding and dtkire for or
ganization among the young work
ers in the shop. In those places
where no action can be obtained from
the trade union bureaucrats, to ac-
lively proceed to organize the young
workers into union Of their own
at the same time trying to get the
A. F. of l.. to recognize it. Cases
have occurred where as result Of the
activities of Young Workers League
members and propaganda, strong
desire for organization was created,
shop committees formed and then ap-
plication to the bonafide union failed
to bring any results whatsoever.
Therefore the necessity of following

George Washington leaves them
rather chilly despite the heat.


GOVERNOR Len Small handed the
state treasurer a check for $780,
900 which brings to conclusion a
long and hectic struggle between Len
and his foes involving as scandalous
a transaction as ever disgraced an adj
ministration. This is the story in
brief: While Small was state treas
urer, he loaned several million dol
lars to the meat packers at eight per
cent. He turned the legal two per
cent that the banks paid on state
funds into the treasury and failed to
account for the balance. He has sue
ceeded in evading punishment by the
liberal use of patronage and by the
strength of his political machine. The
check was finally accepted as resti-
tuition in full. Had Small stolen a
loaf of bread to stop the hunger of
a child he would certainly go to jail.
This is how justice sees things in a
capitalist country.

DETROIT, July IT, (FP)-The new
Ford model with gear shift and other
improvements, scheduled for the fall,
will cost much more to produce, but
will sell at only slightly increased
price, if any, says The Ford Worker,

"Ford may reduce the cost by cut

force him to do unless the workers
are organized" the paper declares.

By P. FRANKFELn.

A j. MUSTE, liberal-laborite and
"a progressive, has written an Ap-
peal to Youth in the July number of
Labor Age. The appeal is not so
much directed to the youth as much
as 1t is directed and Intended for the
labor movement to wake up to the
possibilities and necessity of organ
izing the young workers and its sub
sequent benefits for the labor move
ment as a whole
The very fact that another section
of the labor movement is becoming
aware of the fact that the Young
workers are not organized, is a real
step forward. The fact that Mr. Mus
tie, representing progressive ten
dency, has awakened from the Rip
Van Wrinkle sleep that has embraced
the American labor movement on this
question, and is attempting to rouse
the rest Of it is something to be con-
graduated. However, that which the
left-wing has always recognized and
made efforts to remedy, and has to
an extent succeeded. may be respon-
sfbie FOR the Sudden awakening" for
as Mr.. Music himself admits. "The
only semblance of a youth movement
having any connection with American
labor is In the extreme left wing"
There are something like II mil
lions of youth and child workers in
the U. S. today. The number of young
workers has been steadily increasing
in the last two decades, in America.
With the growth and development
and concentration of industry, and the
subsequent simplification of the pro-
cesses of production, it was inevitable
that the youth should be more and
more drawn into the industrial life.
Also, with the development of the
class struggle in the U. S., in the
sense that class lines and divisions
were becoming more sharply drawn
and permanent, with the opportuni-
ties that existed in America of rising
from the ranks of the working-class
to that Of the petty bourgeoisie hav-
ing disappeared, that the youth
should become a source of much
needed revenue for his family, and
source of greater exploitation for
the. bosses. Especially now, with i'm
migration practically shut off, with
that source of unskilled, unorganized,
and exploitable workers no longer OBJ
talnable, does the boss class turn to
the American youth to reinforce the
ranks of the unskilled and semi
skilled categories formerly filled by
Italians, Russians, Poles, Hungarians,
etc.
Another important factor making
for the increase of youth labor in
America is the springing up of new
industries with a great division of
labor. These industries become prac-
tically youth industries, employing
mostly young workers. Radio is an
example.
These facts are mentioned not only
for general information, but for seri-
Gus considerations to those really in
terested in organizing the morgan
lied young workers. For these diff
1erent industries and categories of
young workers, different methods
will have to be employed in organ
izing them. This will be explained1
in some detail later on.
Now as to the article of Mr.. Music.
He seems to realize these facts. but |

An Answer to Mr.. Muste's
appeal to Youth"

IN a general way. He realizes that
the organization of the working youth
is necessarily that is, in too gen
eral a way. Mr.. Music correctly
points out the necessity of infusing
new BLOOD in the trade unions. He
speaks IF church organizations and
their youth auXiliaries, of Boy Scout
movements and student movements.
But these arguments are very super
ficial. The real substantial arguments
to present in favor of organizing the
unorganized young worker are: i1).
For the self-preservation of the Amer
lean trade union movement it is nee
essary to organize the youth. Other
wise the capitalist class will see to it
that they continue to be organized in
the Boy Scouts, 7. N. G. AS, mill
tary institutions, American Legion,
and other strike breaking and scab
agencies. ~. For the preservation
Of the American standard of living.
The working yo 18th are being used to
.aplace adult workers on the job for
much less pay and (3) Because the
interests of the young workers are
identical with the interests Of the
adult worker.
This last point bring us to the pro-
posal made by Music for "labor youth
leagues" Mr.. Music states: ct
seems to me that we might profitably
consider the possibility of developing
something in the nature of a trade
union or labor youth league. Re-
ligious, charitable and political or
CARNATIONS of all kinds have such
auxiliary youth organizations and
would not think Of carrying on with
out them" This in brief is the solu-
ton offered by Mr.. Music, and this
solution we have heard before. But
what Mr.. Music fails to see or under
stand is exactly that last point
brought out in the preceding para
graph. The interests of the youth and
adult are the same.
The fact that the young workers
are brought into industry, that they
become concentrated in certain indus
tries, brings them into the ranks Of
the working class and into the fold of
the class struggle. The task of or
ganizing them, not into labor youth
leagues, but into actual bona-fide
trade unions with equal rights and
privileges with adult workers becomes
much more simple as result Of this
bringing the young workers into &C.
tive participation in the class strug-
gle, and can only result in the
strengthening of the fighting power
of the workers. This fact can be vori-
fled by the experiences of the Passaic
workers when they conducted their
great struggle, the youth tremend-
ously strengthened the fighting power
during the strike.
If the working youth is organized
in its own youth league, the opposite
will be the effect. The young work
ers will become something separate
and apart from the general trade
union movement. They will become
scrt of second class union men. The
division will be one of age, and not
ono that is historically or practically
necessary, and therefore only artifi-
cial. And when Mr.. Music gives re-
ligious, charitable and political or
CARNATIONS youth auxiliaries as a
and justification for la
Dor youth leagues, we say that he
shows great confusion and misunder-
between the former and the

For instance, in the light metal and
machinery, there is the I. A. of NJ,
which is in very weakened condi-
ton, today. However, an organiza-
ton does exist, and in the two above
mentioned there are many thousands
of young workers employed. It is
different in radio, which is some
thing entirely new, and where the
first semblances of an organization
must be built. In the union, spe
cial youth organization committee
should be established. This commit
tee should devise special youth ways
and means of attracting the young
workers. 1t should proceed to estab-
lish contacts with the young workers
in the large shops and factories. 1t
should even proceed to send someone
from the union into the very fac

young workers in the shop should be
encouraged to organize shop COM

MANY PEOPLE HEAR
JUDGE KAVANACH
NOTED CHICAGO JURIST PLEAS
ES AUDIENCE WITH MAGNET
&c PERSONALITY IN TALK AT
ARMORY OCTOBER 5TH.

Wednesday evening, October 9Th,
the people of Redwood Falls and COM
munity had the opportunity of hear
ing one of Americas most famous
men, Judge Marcus A. Kavanagh,
Superior Court Judge of Chicago.
Judge Kavanagh's address was the
first number of two number Lyceum
Course sponsored by the business
men of Redwood Falls.
Judge Kavanagh's speech dealt
mainly with reform in criminal pro-
ceedure and elimination of delay in
prosecution. He stands firmly for
needed reforms in court procedure
and law enforcement. The judge
maintains that the technicalities con-
tanned in many laws form one of the
chief reasons for the crime wave in
America.
The noted jurist stated that law
should be passed to the effect that all
statutes, now in force relating to
form procedure and practice, shall be
directory only, and not mandatory,
giving judges discretion to amend in
dictments and all pleadings, which
would prevent the discharge of all
prisoners on mere technicalities. He
cited a plain instance of this, where
a man was on trial for the theft of
a revolver. The indictment read
Smith & Weston, and because there
was ct" in Wesson, the correct
name, the prisoner was discharged by
the Court, though actually guilty, be-
cause the Court ruled on technical
ity.
Of particular Importance in this
state is the fact that the accused has
the closing argument to the jury, in
any trial. This gives the accused,
even if guilty, the benefit of last
minute oratory, directed at the jury.
The Crime Commission headed by
Judge Hallam, recommended to the
last legislature that the closing argu-
nent be given to the state, but that,
and twelve others out of fifteen pro-
posals was rejected by that august
body.
The Judge knows whereof he
speaks, as he understands the true
criminal situation as he has come to
know it from his years of contact
with crime in Chicago courts.
The people of the community felt
honored by the presence Of Judge
Kavanagh. He is possessed of dis
tinguished and magnetic personality,
and his interesting talk was enjoyed
by all who attended.

SUCCESSOR TO JUDGE 1. M. Oh
SEN AS JUDGE OF NINTH JU-
DICIAL DISTRICT.

A. B. Gislason of Marshall has been
named the successor to Judge l. M.
Olsen of New Ulm as Judge of the
Ninth Judicial district of which
Redwood county is part. The ap-
pointment was made recently follow
ing the recommendation of Attorney
Gislason by the Ninth District Bar
Association.
Judge Gislason is no stranger in
the district. For two years, he sery-

stamps him as an able jurist. He
was Governor Christianson's appoint
ee in 1923 when it was decided that
the court work in the Ninth district
demanded the services of two judges.
He took over the duties on April %,
that year. In November, 1924, he WAS
duly elected to the position, serving
more than a year thereafter, when
he resigned in February, 1926, to en-

This week, October 9th to 18th has
been designated as Fire Prevention

out the country as time for inspec-
tion and cleaning activities, and the
education of the public in measures
for preventing fires. In Redwood

planned to conduct an inspection OF
buildings with view to eliminating

movement, urging thorough inspec-
tion and cleanup campaign. Chief
Corbett has stated that the inspec-
ton will take place Immediately fol-
lowing the observance week. Be-
sides the inspection which has been

or Immediately following for the dis
cussion Of fire prevention matters.
