shops are building up the socialist
industries, improving the quality of
the products, and reducing the manu-
featuring costs. The Young Com
munists in the rural districts are the
promoters Of the new forms of agri-
cultural labor, are cooperative organ
izers, and are taking part in the
building of the new culture in the
Soviet village. The Youth League
comes forward as an active helper or
the Party in consolidating the de-
fensive forces of the country. The
Communist Youth League helps the
Party in fortifying the Soviets, and
in attracting the young workers into
the trade unions.
The feminist Young Communist

League is part of the world Commu-
mist Youth Movement, it is a section
of the Young Communist Interna-
tional, it's foremost vanguard. The
Young Communist League agitates
the youth in the international spirit.
This very organization, the feminist
Young Communist League with its
two and one half million membership,
constitutes the fundamental political
conquest of the October Revolution for
the young workers and peasants.
Another fruit of the October victory
is the Communist movement among
the children. Only five years ago, at
the time of the Fifth Congress of the
Young Communist League lin October
1927 there were only 1900 children
in the ranks of the Young Pioneers,
whereas on June 1st of the current
year there were already 2,028,430
children enrolled among the Young
Pioneers and "Octobrists," Of whose
number 40 per cent were girls.
Among these Pioneers and Octobrists,
along with Al per cent of the Russian
children, there were children of the
other nationalities. 27.7 per cent were
the children Of workers, 49.5 per cent
those of peasants, 1876 per cent those
Of office employees, and To per cent
of other elements. The Young Commu-
mist kernel in these organizations, in
absolute figures, amounted to 147,054.
The Pioneer organization slowly
but surely worked out it's particular
forms of educational activity, and of
its participation in the building of So
cialism. There grows up the type of
the constructive pioneer and the mis-
sionary of culture in town and viii
lage; there grows the participation of
the Pioneer organization in the public
and political life of the country. Thus,
in the last Soviet elections about
100000 pioneers took part (by dis
tributing notices to the electors, by
canvassing for the "children's de-
mands," etc.; the pioneers responded
in body to the appeal made by the
Soviet Government for the strength
ening of the defensive power of the
country (the development of military
sports, rifle range competitions, anti
gas exercises, etc.,.

gains of October for the peasant
youth. The network of these es-
adjustments, which cater to the needs
of the young peasants and help them
rise to a higher economic and cultural
level, grows year by year, embracing
ever-larger circles of the young
people in the rural districts.
Particularly striking and conclusive
are the gains of the peasant youth on
their road to "literacy." This is

o.
At the present time there is no
soldering" The service In the Red
Army is no longer penal settlement,
but a real school for the edifieation
of the young recruits coming from the
rural districts. The Red Army, along
with military knowledge, affords
education and instruction to the
young peasants on subjects which
vitality concern them, so that on re-
turning to their fields they might be-
come progressive cultivators of the
soil.
There has been q radical eiranga
brought about by the revolution tn
the position of the agricultural young
workers too. The protection of labor
by law, the agreement with the ern-
ployer, the trade union card,-these
are the October gains for the young
agricultural laborers.
Last but not least, the tremendous
change in the position of the peasant
girls must be mentioned. From q
down-trodden and defenceless being
under Czarism, she has now becons

ing and living conditions with those
of the time of autocracy, to grasp at
once the priceless value Of the october
gains to them.
We have dealt with some Of the
fundamental gains of October for the
young workers and peasants. Il were
difficult to enumerate all that has
been gained by the young workers
and peasants by the October Revolu-
ton. Many of the things now en-
joyed by the young people are likely
to be considered as matters Of course;
in reality they are the result of the
prolonged and stubborn struggle Of
the working class for its rights which
led to the historic victory in October
1917.

The wage conditions did not under
go any improvements in the subse-
quent years. Thus, in 1901 the ap-
prentices were earning from 121s
cents to 20 cents a day, which
amounted again to $3.00-$4.50 a
month. During the war (since 1919
although there was certain rise in
the wages of adult workers and
youths, (41.4%o), but on the other
hand there was an increase in the
cost Of living (150%), consequently,
the conditions of the young workers
did not at all improve during that
period.
The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1927-11-07

the adult workers, and the earnings
of minors (children) amounted only
to $3.50 or $2.551a. According to the
individual industries, the average
monthly earnings of minors may be
presented in the following compare
tive table:
The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1927-11-07

For all such hard work the children
and minors were getting an exceed
ingly miserable pittance. Thus, in
the nineties of the past century, the
average monthly earnings of an adult
worker amounted to the sum of
$7.08, the earnings of youths
amounted only to $3.50 of those of
The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1927-11-07

The hard and exhausting toll in
the capitalist establishments during
1914 hours a day was bound to tell
on the health of the young workers,
to which no one paid any attention.
Neither could the young workers
themselves look after their own
health.
Thus, for instance, during the
annual recruiting of conscripts there
used to be disqualified for military
service about 479o of the youths on
account of ruptures, eye diseases,
heart diseases, etc., contracted
through hard work in the factories.
Moreover, such hard conditions of
oil had their effort not only upon
the health, but also upon the educa-
ton of the young workers, who had
no spare time left under such hard
conditions of labor.
The elementary schools of those
days, in which the young workers
were allowed to be taught, were not
equipped to afford much instruction
to the young workers. Under such
conditions the young workers nat
urally were stepped in ignorance and
darkness.
