The Youth Column
YOUNG WORKERS GET LITTLE EDUCATION AND IT IS
NO GOOD-NEED OWN LEAGUE

ers in the factories is constantly i'm
creasing.
The youth are to the bosses the
reserve army to keep the wages down
and to break the union where one
exists. They are the first ones to
be called upon to protect the interests
OF the imperialists in war.
The Industries in which the great
majority of the youth are employed
are the most oppressive and unor-
ganized. The bosses are taking adj
vantage of the unorganized state in
which the youth find themselves.
They seek to exploit and Cypress
them more. They make repeated at
tcmpts to cut wages and increase the
hours, as, for example, in the textile
and many other industries where a
great majority of he youth are em-
ployed.
Bosses Organizations.
We also find that the Young Work
ers are controlled by the employers in
other fields. In order to distract
the attention of the young workers
he bosses create organizations thru
which they spread their poisonous
propaganda.
Such are the Y. nj. G. A., the Boy
Scouts, the Y. M. H. A., etc. These
organizations are the tools of the
bosses and are not for the benefit
Of the workers. Such organizations
will not not help the workers to inn
prove their conditions.
Young Workers League
Here in the U. S. we have such an
organization, namely, the Young
Workers. League. The Young Work.
ers' League is a militant organiza-
ton which fights to organize the
young workers and improve their
conditions, at the same time fighting
against the needless destruction of
young lives in capitalist wars. 1t
gives the working youth militant
leadership in the daily working class
struggle.
Every young worker who is anx-
ious for the improvement of his or
her condition should join the Young
Workers League and fight together
with the rest of the workers to bet
ter their conditions.

following the third attack within two
months made on it by race-prejudiced
neighbors.
The latest attack was made on jan

Carrington's front porch at o'clock
in the evening, just as the family
was sitting down to its evening meal.
Darlington rushed out Of the door,
seized the bomb and tossed it to the
street.
The bomb exploded as it neared
the pavement, the conclusion shatter-
ed the windows in the nearby houses
A bomb that was placed under the
porch at 2 A. M. on December TO-

Cured on January 2, when six shots

ing continued thru the night.
Mr.. Darlington has received re-
peated threatening letters warning

Philadelphia Workers
Theatre Giving Gold
Play on January 2S

PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 25.-The
Workers. Theatre Alliance of Phila-
delphia is the result Of effort init
ated several years ago by Comrado
Alfred Sobel. After much hard work
he succeeded in effectingNan organi-
cation that has grown stronger and
stronger since then, having given
many presentations of proletarian
productions.
In September 1925 the first per-
Torrance Of three one act plays was
given, "Slave With Two Faces" and
"The Red Spirit" and the Pioneers
gave "Schooldays." In December of
the same year another presentation
was given.
The Alliance has also played for
the benefit of the shirtmalers during
their strike here, and later went to
Passaic for the benefit of the textile
strikers. All these performances have
been very successful.
The Alliance is now rehearsing
Michael Colds "Strike" to be given
at the Lenin memorial meeting, Fri
day, Jan. 28th, at the Labor Institute
Eighth and Locust streets, Philadel-
phia.
It is the desire of Comrade Sobel
and those associated with him tc
strengthen and broaden their scope
until the alliance becomes the center
Of proletarian culture in this city.
There is much undeveloped talent
and ability among the workers, and
the alliance is the vehicle for its ex-
preston. Why, instead of attending
movies and theatres, where bourgeois
themes are shown, should not the
workers attend their own theatre and
see their hopes and struggles pre-
sented by their own class artists?
Every interested person is urged
to communicate with Comrade Sobel,
at this address: 1912 S. Philip street,
Philadelphia, Pa.
