Appearing at the second day of hear
ingS on the Walsh resolution. Louis E.
Gcttle. chairman of the Wisconsin Rail-
road Commission. and William d. B.
Aniey, chairman of the Pennsylvania
Public Service Commission. protested
against any invasion of State rights by
the Senate in carrying forward its in

They told the committee they had
no objections to the proposed inveSti-
cation IL kept within the bounds of
questions relating to interstate COM
merce. but We're opposed to any prop

under their control.
Senator Walsh Agrees.
Senator Walsh. Democrat. Montana
author OF the resolution proposing an
inquiry. agreed that there should be
no unwarranted interference with the
State commission"
Gettle was emphatic in his view that
there had been enough OF Federal regu-

troll Of the telephone and administra-

Investment Bankers Heard.
Speaking for the Investment Bankers
Association Of America, Henry r. Hayes.
its president said he was not opposed
to the inquiry, but ventured the opinion
that if one were held it would show
no need for Federal regulation. but
rather need for broadening the powers
OF the State regulatory bodies.
While not opposed to the Walsh In

dent of the Metropolitan Life Insurance
Co. and chairman of the committee of

Role of Revolutionary Youth

patton of the working class.
13 Years Experience.
The revolutionary youth move
ment of today we'll understands its
tasks. 1t has the experience of 13
years behind it. The Young Com
munist Leagues inherited those re-
volutionary traditions of the Berne
conference of 1915. The Communist
Youth League of America, is learn
ing and has participated in the pre-
liminary work of mobolizing during
this period and educating the work
ing youth to it's mission. The Com
munist Youth League has carried on
real struggle against the various
forms OF capitalist militarism-and
that is still only the beginning.
Mass Meeting, September Ia.
The Young Workers Communist
League of New York will celebrate
the 18th anniversary of IYD by hold
ing mass meeting in Irving Plaza.
This will take place the 18th of Sep
TENDER, Friday night, at p. m. The
League will draw the lessons of it's
summer work in the CMTC's. The
League will explain its attitude to-
wards capitalist wars. The League
will help to mobolize masses of
young workers against the growing
war danger, against the possible
fight against the Soviet Union on
the part of the imperialist war pow
ers; prepare the youth to be ready
to defend their socialist fatherland
Soviet Union, teach the young
workers their duties in the next
world war.
This international Youth Day will
be made into a youth celebration

mind.

The Crimes of a Labor Boss"

Mr.. Theodore N Brandle, the Labor boss"
of the Jersey City building trades unions,
who utilities his position to smash trade
unions, break strikes and make money for
himself as head of a structural steel build
ers' association, labor" bank president and
real estate operator, is reported as being in
trouble with the law.
The trouble won't be much. Mr.. Brandle
is rich He is an enemy of the working class,
and half of his business activity is that of
destroying the labor movement; so we are
sure the law of the capitalist state has no
snares for him.
But what is the crime said to be charged
against Brandle? Registering as democrat
and voting republican, We shall not get ex-
cited about the little trick played on one
capitalist party for the benefit of another.
What is the real crime of this peddler of
the workers blood?
Brandle is a vicious enemy of the work.
ing class not only in his mercenary opera
tons in the trade unions, but also for his
foul trade of inducing workers to vote for
their class enemies in either or both of the
capitalist political parties. And this is
crime for which he will not be punished by
any capitalist court. This is his real crime.
Throw out the parasites and swindlers of
the working class within the labor move
ment!
Vote for your own working class party
the Workers (Communist) Party!

The Party is entering the election
campaign in California under excep-
tionally difficult conditions.
The election machinery of the
state is so organized as to make it
almost impossible for a working
class party to get on the ballot. The
only way that we can get Commu-
mist candidates on the ballot this
year is by running them as indie
pendents, and our campaign must
be so organized that the workers
will understand that these candi-
dates are the Representatives of the
only working class party in Ameri-

period of three weeks to gather 49,

Ely P. FRANKFELD

September 3, 1915, the first In
ternational Youth Day was cele-
brated. September 8, 1915, Europe
was in the throes of an imperialist
war. Millions of workers and young
workers from England, France, Ger
many, Russia, and other countries,
were being manned and killed on
the battlefield. These workers and
young workers were fighting the
war of the allied imperialist bandits
against the German imperialist rob-
bers.
The working class of Europe was
helped to this slaughter by the &C
tions of the social-democratic par
ties, who supported, respectively,
their Gown Netherlands. The Sec
ond International became plant
and willing tool in the hands of the
imperialists.
Role of Revolutionary Youth.
The revolutionary youth leagues,
however, did not fall in line and
support the imperialist war. The
revolutionary youth leagues, which
Liebknecht had helped to organize,
fought against the policy of be-
trayal Of the social-democratic par
ties. The Socialist Youth Interna-
t'onal. organized in Stuggart in
1907, with the active participation
of Karl Liebknecht, was always in
the left in the parties. The rea-
sons were, firstly, that the young
workers were one of the most ex-
plotted sections of the working
class. This the social-democratic
leaders refused to understand. They
represented the interests of the
aristocracy of labor workers. They
refused at first to even consider the
question Of organizing a revolution
airy youth movement. They saw in
the youth source of revolutionary
energy and a source of struggle
against their opportunism. How we'll
their expectations were fulfilled!
Fight Militarism.

Youth Day Organized Is Years Ago to Fight
Against Imperialist War

tary training camps, when the r. o.
I. c., the National Guard. the
dozens of semi military and mill
tary institutions are being crowded
by young workers who are attracted
to them, at the same time the rep
resentatives of the Wall Street gov
eminent are signing fake peace
pacts in Paris.
Hypocritical Pacts.
The Kellogg peace" pact bears
the same relation to the present sit
uation that the Hague Peace Tri-
bunal bore to the last world war.
1t is an attempt to give the masses
a false sense OF security. It is a
smoke screen to hide the feverish
preparations that are being made
for the next war. The antagonisms
between the leading imperialist pow
ers wax stronger. The intrigues
amongst themselves and against
each other shows the nearness of the
next war, and the whole falsity of
the Kellogg peace act". The naval
accord between France and England
is an indication of that, and Amer
ica's uneasiness about the accord
shows that America is on guard
against British imperialism and
watches closely its every action.
These pacifist slogans and phra-
ses are the greatest enemy of the
working class. The false sense of
security" of the masses today will
make them easily plant tomorrow
when the war comes. Pacifism
must be taught that it is in the in
working class and the working class
and working youth must be made
watchful; must be put on guard;
mus the taught that it is in the in
terests of the working class to learn
the use of firearms during this per-
iod of active war preparation; So
that when the next war comes; the
