BY IRVING M. CLAIM.

TN Germany only about 100000 young
workers under the age of Is are
organized in the trade unions. This
makes it one Of the main tasks of the
Young Communist League to work for
the unionization of the working youth.
At the same time energetic work is
being carried on in the youth sections
of the trade unions and once a month
there is special trade union day on
which all union fractions must meet
and the trade union policy OF the
league discussed.
Anti-MiIitarist Work.
The greatest achievement in this
field is the creation of the united
front working youth organization
the Red Young Storm sometimes
called Red Youth 'FRONT.'. This organ
cation with its $4,000 members is
not only quite effective in combating
The fascist-monarchist youth organi-
cations, such as the Bismarck Youth,
the Steel Helmet Youth, etc., but is
also an excellent weapon in the fight
against militarism and imperialist
wars.
Means of Agitation.
The agitational means of the league
are quite effective. Demonstrations
with red flags (Which is prohibited
in our land of liberty and orchestras
are quite the usual thing. Extensive
use is being made of posting procla-
nations, ETC., on the walls in the
streets. During the campaign for the
referendum groups of comrades were
walking from one building to the
other and by singing songs made the
people look out of the windows and
thus they were able to agitate them
for the referendum and to get contri-
buttons for the campaign fund. Many
other means of agitation are being
made use of, but space is too limited
to dwell on all of them.
Propaganda.
The decision of the last congress
that every member must go thru an
elementary political course is being
carried out quite successfully. The
four-week league course for leading
comrades was great achievement,
but mistake was made in not suf-
ficiently utilizing in the districts and
sections the comrades who were thus

Especial to The Daily Worker,

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich, Jan. A
The body of Comrade Peter G. King,
city organizer of the Workers (Com-
munist) Party of Grand Rapids, who
died recently, was accompanied by a
large number Of friends and conrad s
to his final resting place at the Laisve
Cemetery.
That Comrade King was an active
comrade and well beloved by his
comrades was attested by the large
number present, more than 200, and
by the many floral offerings from the
various organizations of which Com
rade King was a member or with
whom he was in contact.
The organizations sending flowers
were the following: The Workers
CCommunist) Party of Grand Rapids,
the Young Pioneers, the international
Labor Defense, the Freiheit Club, the
Lithuanian Chorus, the Lithuanian
Dramatic Society, the Sons and
Daughters of Lithuania and the Lithu-
anian Alliance Aid Society.
A number of speakers addressed
the assembled comrades and friends
OF the deceased in Lithuanian and
English, first at his home and later
at the cemetery where the simple and
solemn Communist ceremony was
concluded by the singing of the Inter

Harmon Awards Bestowed.

NEW YORK.-Public ceremonies in
handing out the awards Of the Har-
mon Foundation for distinguished
achievements among Negroes were
held at st. Marks Church, 1877 street
and st. Nicholas avenue on New
Years day. The four Negroes, who
were residents of New York and prize
winners, received cash and medals.
Similar services, coinciding with
Emancipation Day celebrations, were
held in other cities where winners of
awards lived.

rationale by the members OF the
Young Pioneers.
Comrade King has been a leading
spirit in the movement in the notori-
GUS open Shop Furniture City" of
Grand Rapids.
Comrade King has been a member
Of our party ever since 1t was organ
lied and his untiring activity, his I'M
tagging enthusiasm and unseIfish de-
votion to the movement was to a
large degree responsible for whatever
small successes were achieved in this
city.
His fine spirit will be missed by
those who have worked with Comrade
King and the whole membership is
agreed that in his death our party has
sustained a very serious loss which
can only be made up by an increased
activity on the part of every member
of the party. They feel as Comrade
Barkin, the spokesman of the Young
Pioneers so well expressed it, that
"Comrade King was a link in a long
powerful chain which reached around
the world. This link is now broken.
And it is up to us who remain to heal
the breach; to replace the link and
to weld the chain closer together by
our renewed activity for the cause of
revolution and the emancipation Of
the workers OF the world"

the case of the mill representatives.
Mr.. Walsh arranged with the secretary
to meet the committee on the after
noon of March II, and q committee of
Is, headed by Mr.. Weisbord, conferred
with the secretary for more than two
hours. The secretary presented the
plan which the department had been
able to have the mill representatives
agree upon, which was in effect that
the strikers return to work; that when
they did return to work the mill
management would meet with such
committees as the workers selected to
take up any grievances concerning
wages, working conditions, and the
like, and that in the event of failure
to agree, the employees should select
one, the employers select one, and the
secretary of labor name a third mem
Der of a committee to hear and de-
termine any matters in dispute, and
that any decision so reached would be-
come effective and retroactive to the
time the grievance was presented. In
connection with this proposal, how
ever, the employers informed the sec
IoCes4y, a11u ne so oUas0u
mittee, that under no circumstances
would they deal with Weisbord, his
associates, or any one who was not
a textile worker or who had not been
previously employed in their mills, but
that they would deal with committees
of their own employees, selected by
their own methods, and in their own
way. The conference adjourned after
a two-hour session. The next after
noon the committee appeared at the
department and presented counter
proposal The proposal submitted had
previously been given to the press at
Passaic that morning."
A LTHO Secretary Davis report later
L \ reiterates the statement that the
mill owners would not deal with Weis-
bord, it makes no mention of the fact
that Weisbord withdrew and the
bosses still refused to negotiate with
the strikers. OF course, the report is
not up-to-date enough to include men
ton of the settlements, but closes
with the assurance that Representa-
tives Of the department, in line with
their duty in the premises, from time
to time visit the locality for the pur.
pose of keeping in touch with the
exact conditions, and in order to be OF
such assistance as they can If and
when an opportunity is presented
whereby mutually satisfactory settle
ment could be reached that would
clear up the whole matter"
At the conclusion of his report
Secretary Davis says: "The problems
of the future in America are more
and more certain to be not political
but industrial and economic prob
lens" Even he can read the signs
of the times, altho he interprets them
in terms of the rulers.

trained. The influence of the mass
organ, Die Junge Garde (The Young
Guard), and the theoretical organ, Der
Junge Bolschevik CThe Young Boil
shevik), is growing from day to day.
Reorganization Of League.
This problem (similar to the situa-
ton in other 1eagues) was not dealt
with correctly by the German Y. c. L.
In Berlin, for instance, the reorgani-
cation had so many shortcomings that
1t was quite difficult to correct it. The
mechanical aspect consisted Of setting
too short period of time for the re-
organization, there was an improper
distribution of comrades among the
factory groups, while the residential
organizations were simply liquidated.
These mistakes have since been cor
rected and the league is now being
completely reorganized on the basis
of factory and street groups. This
makes the league more active and in
fuential than ever before.
Fight Rights and Utra-Lefts.
The Y. c. L. is fully supporting the
line of the comintern and the party
against the right and ultra-Ieft. as
well as against the opposition in the
Russian party (Trotsky, Zinoviev,
Kameneff). The opposition existing
in the league some time ago has been
liquidated, At the last congfess five
sixths of the delegates voted for the
line of the central committee. Since
then the leaders of the districts then
in opposition (Hamburg, Erzgebirge.
Vogtland) have acknowledged in res
that the standpoint taken by
them at the congress was wrong.
Comrade Gramkov, who signed up
with the ultra-left at the enlarged
plenum of the E. c. G. l., was not a
representative Of the Hamburg
League district, but merely an advis-
DRY member of the youth delegation.
and thus solely represented his per
sonal viewpoint.
Thus we see that the German
Young Communist International is
well on the road to accomplish its
task of leading the young workers TO-
wards the approaching proletarian
revolution in Germany.
