 Wrigley awarded s2,5oO each to Hauser and Stager because of their pluck and being the last two women to drop out. These prizes, together with Young's s25,OOO, will be award ed at Los Angeles on Tuesday.
 Steadily, almost with the monotony of an engine piston, the sinewy right arm of the young Canadian had risen and fallen hour after hour during the long water grind, and when he encoun- tered the unfavorable tide a mile from shore, Young increased the pow CT of his strokes, but watchers could not see him gain an inch.

the rural districts. Particularly
hard was the life of the young agri-
cultural laborers. Thus, for instance,
on the tobacco plantations in the
Crimea the working day of the
youths lasted from 16 to II hours a
day. For such slavery the youths
and children were earning an ex-
ceedingly miserable pittance fluctu-
ating between Is and 80 kopecks a
day, depending on the season and the
kind of work, which constituted 46-
Sd per cent of the earnings of the
adults under similar conditions of Ia
Dor. At the same time it should be
mentioned that among certain cate
gories of minor employees in agricul-
ture, such as shepherds, nurses, ETC.,
the remuneration in the majority of
cases took the shape of simple
crust of bread"
The overwhelming majority of the
peasant youths were illiterate. The
poverty peasant family was
too much interested in having an ex-
ira pair of working hands, so that it
was quite reluctant to send the boy
or the girl to school, particularly the
tsarist educational authorities were
not calculated to give any useful and
practical knowledge to the pupils, and
they only stuffed their brains with
sundry religious and patriotic" nom
sense, imbuing them with the spirit
of humility and submission to their
"betters." The road to better life
was closed to the peasant youth.
To all the hardships suffered by
the working youth under tsarism
should be added the scourge of
soldering" the long spell of thral-
dom to which the peasant lad was
doomed under tsarism, where he was
condemned to spend the best year of
his life in the service of the capitalists
and the landlords.
Such was the gloomy existence of
the peasant youth in tsarist Russia.
90
Needless to speak of any political
rights possessed by the working and
peasant youths, since the whole of
the proletariat and the peasantry
were entirely disfranchised. To all
efforts at gaining their freedom, the
tsarist government replied by ruth
less repression. The police, the spies,
the gendar1nes, the agents provoca-
tours the black hundreds. the cossack's
whip, the bourgeois court, the prison,
the penal settlement, ard the scat
fold, etcs-these were the parts Of the
huge machinery set in operation by
the tsarist autocracy for the subjec.
tion of the masses, for che suppress
sion Of the peoples strivings for free
dom. 1t was a machine which moved
down large masses Of workers and
peasants who fought AGAINST tsariom,
Scapitalism and landlordism.

C2.)

The October Revolution has brought
radical changes in the position of the
young workers. Whereas under car
ism the labor of young people was the
object of the most cruel exploitation,
to-day it is essentially of an educa-
tional and industrial training char
acter. The labor of young people is
now based to considerable extent
upon the elements of Socialism.
(a.) In the first place, the work
ing hours have been shortened. Young
people between II and Is years of
age are working hours a day, and
those between 16 and 10 years are
working 6 hours. The present work
ing hours of the young people were
not introduced all at once; but the
shortening of the working day for
the young people was gradually intro
duced in accordance with the general
progress of peaceful construction.
(b) Secondly, the young workers
get paid for the shorter as for a full
day. The earnings of the young
workers have been steadily increasing
in recent years, as shown by the fol-
lowing figures:
In 1924 the average monthly
earnings were S3.05.
In 1924-25 the average monthly
earnings were $685..
In 1886 the average monthly
earnings were $10.65.
AS compared with pre-war rates
of $3.50, $4.45 and $3.50.
In 1926-27 the wages were increased
by a further 20-30 per cent. On COM
pairing the present wages of the
young workers with those formerly
received (amounting to maximum of
$3.50 a month"; we see again the

How Young Workers Live in Ptoletarian USS.R.

THE tenth anniversary Of the Oc-
'tober Revolution finds the young
workers and peasants organized into
the feminist Youth League with a
membership of two and one half
million. The Communist Youth
League embraces more than one half
of all the young workers employed in
the factories and workshops, and over
a million peasants, boys and girls.
Such is the basic result of develop
ments in the course of the nine years
under revolutionary conditions. This
organization of the young workers
and peasants could come into exist
ence only owing to the victory of the
proletarian dictatorship.
The Communist Youth League, dur
ing the nine years of its development,
has grown into tremendous force
which plays a prominent part in the
public and political life Of the Soviet
Union. Under the guidance of the
Communist Youth League, the young
workers in the factories and work
