BY RUFUS P. HEATH.
(WOrker CorrespOrdent)

The New York Evening Graphic in
directly admits that The DAILY
WORKER is right concerning law
ard Justice. The Graphic speaking
editorially, on the evening of Septem-
Der IS, 1927, had the following to
say pertaining to the anti-cooking
law:
Cooking Prohibited"
"Word was spread yesterday that
the coming Legislature will make no
move to modify the present ridiculous
laws that prohibit cooking in certain
types of apartments.
If this rumor is true, it shows just
how useless the Legislature has be-
come and indicates good reason fer
keeping it permanently at recess.
Anti-cooking laws are not only
senseless but dangerous.
They are prohibition in it's most
virulent and Objectionable form.
They invade the home and make O
mockery out of what little has re-
manned of personal so-callcd 'liberty.'
Not Guest of Safety.
The question of safety is not in
volved in the present discussion.
No one could object to reasonable
regulation of stoves and other ap-
paratus.
Such regulations could require gas
stoves to be inclosed in properly fire
PROCEED walls and could make pro-
vision for rigid inspection Of innocu-
Gus electric stoves.
But safety is not an issue. There
must be no cooking EVEN IF IT rs
DONE WITHOUT FIRE.
What this is all about, and who is
benefiting from it should make an
interesting little story"
Well! For the benefit of the Editor
Of The New York Evening Graphic
here is the interesting Little Story
The major part of New York;
population are working people
These working people, due to the
average low rate Of wages or salar-
les are forced to reside in the ordinary
cheap hotel, furnished room, or in
the apartment houses. Many Of
them in the past have had an op.
portunity to exist at cost within
reach Of their earning power, by
cooking their own meals in the furn.
ished room or the apartment house.

with Lenin, Liebknecht, Luxembourg,
and other revolutionary leaders, and
has contributed no little to the de-
velopment of the III. International
and the Communist Parties in the
various countries. Already during
the world war the Youth International
joined Bolshevism, and at its w. In
ternational Conference in Berlin In
1919 it adopted the name of Young
Communist International and Joined
the Communist International.
Liebknecht the Founder.
Hence it is our own International,
the Young Communist International,
whose twentieth anniversary we are
now celebrating. 1t is our own In
ternational which has passed through
this glorious process of progressive
development, from Stuttgart in 1907,
through the difficult years of the i'm
perialist World War and the revolu-
ton, to our great Young Communist
international. And we may claim
with pride that the spirit animating
the Young Communist International
today is the same spirit which has
guided our International from the be-
ginning.
Who was the actual founder and
the soul of the Socialist Youth Inter-
national? Karl Liebknecht. 1t was he
who gave his best work at that time
to the creation of an international or
ganization of the proletarian youth
unions, and it was he who, with his
appeals for anti-militarist action,
gave the newly founded Youth In
ternational and the Stuttgart Con-
gress it's special character. The fight
! against imperialism, against the i'm
perialist war, against militarism--
these were the main slogans of the
Stuttgart Congress.
The Stuttgart Congress did not
/ however neglect the other funda-
mental questions of the Youth move-
ment. 1t drew up a fighting pro-
gramme against the economic ex-
ploitation Of the juvenile workers in
Guiding a number of fighting de-
mands which still form the basis of
the economic programme of the
Young Communist International. 1t
dealt with and laid down as the pur-
port and the basis of the work of So
cialist education to be accomplished
among the Youth, the active partici-
patton of the Young workers in the
class struggle.
The principles laid down by, the
Stuttgart Congress have been fully
developed by the Young Communist
International. In Stuttgart in 1907
there were only some few ten thou
sands of organized juvenile workers
represented, whilst the Young Com
munist international Of today counts
approximately 27a million members.
At the First International Youth Con-
ference only representatives of Ii
countries met whilst today there is
scarcely country on the earth where
the Young Communist International
has not it's Section.
The fighting capacity of the Youth
International has developed CORE
spondingly. In the economic strug-
gle, and in the sphere of trade union
work, our participation has increased
by leaps and bounds, and today the
Young Communist Leagues play an
important role in the trade union life
oil the different countries. In many
countries, in the Soviet Union and in
France for instance, they have ac-
tually taken over the lead in the trade
unions in all youth questions.

Washington Musicians
Win Raise; Baltimore's
Plan Sympathy Strike

WASHINGTON, Sept. 81 (FP. --
While members of the musicians
union are celebrating a wage victory,
their brothers in nearby Baltimore
are scheduling solidarity strike in
behalf of their locked-out comrades
in the operators union. Forty-four
neighborhood theatres in Baltimore
refused to sign up with the operators
on September / and obtained an in
junction to prevent picketing after
creating special company union
for managers and scab operators.
The musicians have served notice
on the managers that they will strike
in support of the operators if the
lockout is not ended.

LETTERS FROM OUR READERS
Editor, The DAILY WORKER:

Editor, The DAILY WORKER:
After short rest since the pro-
duction of "The Biggest Boob in the
World" by Karl Wittfogel, the
Workers Drama League has again
rallied its forces, and is working to
produce "The Machine Wreckers" hy
Ernst Toller, before the summer.
There are still few long parts
for men to be filled, and some short
parts for both men and women,
which will require only one nights
rehearsal week. The rehearsals on
Friday nights will be chiefly given
over to the mass scenes.
This play should be of great inter
est to all workers, in that it deals
with the theme of the organization
of the workers for the control Of
machinery for their collective use
and benefit. Toller shows that the
machine when taken over by the
workers and rightly used for the coll
lective good, will become a new crea-
tor of life; when not rightly used,
machinery becomes power for des-
truction and exploitation, thing
without soul or conscience.
Toller's play can set at rest the
question as to whether art can also
be propaganda. The Machine
Wreckers" is both great art and
great propaganda.
Rehearsals for the play take place
Wednesdays and Fridays at 8 p NJ,
at the studio Of the Workers Drama
League, Ga South Washington Square.
Those who are interested in taking
part in the production are welcome.
" FLORENCE RAAH, Secretary.
