May SO and unanimously adopted by
the delegates representing so trade

Legislation for the Youth.
WHEREAS: The continuous in
PRODUCTION of labor-saving devices, So
called efficiency methods of the en-
ployers, and the drive of the bosses
to reduce the standard of living of
the workers and smash the trade
union movement, results in the
steadily increasing influx of young
workers and child laborers in the
mines, mills and factories.
WHEREAS: The bosses with the
cooperation of the government take
advantage of the age of the young
laborers and their not being organized
and make them work even longer
hours and under worse conditions
than the adult workers do.
WHEREAS: The bosses and the
government completely and criminally
disregard the special conditions that
the young laborers need for their
physical and mental development.
WHEREAS: The existing legisla-
ton for the so-called protection of

500 for young workers. The young
workers at the present time have to
work very long hours. The Commu-
mist movement fights for the 6 hour
day and 5 day week for young work
ers. The young workers are being
militarized and prepared for an i'm
perialist war. The Communist move
ment must fight against militariza~
ton of the youth. The National Nom
mating Convention of the Workers
(Communist) Party will have to
adopt in its election program, planks
dealing with the needs of the toiling
youth, and mobilize them. around the
youth demands of the Party and the
League. In that way, the Party will
indicate that it fights for the en-
franchisement of the young workers
in deed and not merely in words. The
Young Workers must also be shown
in their election struggle the need for
a revolutionary fight against capital
ism and for the proletarian dictator
ship.

scnted by the Young Workers Com

ward as the champion of the interests
of the young workers. Particularly is
this important during electoral cam
paigns when the young workers are
thinking about the events in the coun-
try. The Communist movement must
have an answer to every question that
the young workers raise regarding
their conditions. The Communist
movement must offer to fight for the
economic and political demands of the
toiling youth. In supporting and
fighting for the progress for social
Legislation for the young workers
which the Young Workers (Commu-
nist) League has issued, the Party
will actually become the champion of
the needs of the young workers and
rouse them to struggle.
The masses of the young workers,
young farmers and students are dis
franchised. The Communist move
ment must fight for their political en-
reimbursement. The demand for a
vote for the youth IS and over must
penetrate the entire working class.
The young workers receive miserably
low wages. The Communist move
ment fights for a minimum wage of

THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED: /
That we go on record in favor of al
vigorous campaign initiated by thei
trade unions in cooperation with the
labor movement for the passage of
laws by the federal and state govern

and health of the young workers, anda

lowing laws, to be sponsored by the

Slogans Play Important Role in the Class Struggle

paign, he asks, "What are the essen
tials of a good slogan?" and replies,
"In the first place it should sound
well and mean nothing definite.
The slogan should contain some in
definite term that means all things to
all men and that each person can in
terpret for himself. Such terms as
Democracy Freedom, Liberty
Equality Oppression Fraternity,
and other general terms that no one
can define, but of which every one
thinks he knows the meaning, are
most valuable. Take for example
one of the best slogans ever coined,
Mr.. Wilson's, Making the World Safe
for Democracy 1t sounds we'll and
means nothing definite. :. 1t leads US
into war where we can become ag-
gressive under philanthropic motive,
and if people do not want to be made
safe for democracy we can kill them
with clear conscience, for it shows
that they do not know what is good
for themselves"
In view of the fact that slogans are
The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1928-05-19

1t is evident that the underlying
motive behind the bourgeois political
slogan is Numerically different from
that behind the Bolshevik slogan.
While bourgeois politicians seek to
confuse the masses with certain catch
words concealing behind ambiguous
phrases their real sinister purpose,
Lenin utilities the revolutionary slo-
gan as a powerful stimulator of the
masses, as a means of giving clear
guidance and direction to the masses
for the accomplishment of certain
specific tasks demanded by a particu-
lar stage of the struggle against the
exploiting class. Since the basis of
the bourgeois slogan lies in the parti
cular class interests at giveJ mo-
ment, it cannot therefore be at the
same time other than a slogan direct
ed against the interests of the proie-
tariat. The party of the revolution
airy proletariat must seek elsewhere
the basis of its slogans. EVERY sin
gle slogan" says Lenin, must be
drawn from the totality of the par

Plan Combine
Of Electrical
Bosses in us.

The greatest electric power and gas
combine the world has ever known Isl
announced by Wall Street through the
National City Bank. The Consolidated
Gas Company and the Brooklyn Edi-
son Company will form a new trust,
with $800,000,000 in assets. Commit
tees of both groups have been nego-
tiating for this and representatives Of
the two corporations met jointly yes
terday afternoon for final action.
This combination of the electric and
gas companies of New York City
Long Island and Westchester means
a billion dollar water-tight trust able
to fleece the workingclass even moro
than they have in the past. The gil
gantic trust will be second in size
only to the American Telephone and
Telegraph Company, controlled by the
Morgan interests.
The utility magnates like Mellon,
Brady, Ryan are experts in the field
of organizations as are all the repre-
sentatives of capitalist exploitation,
They first invest heavily in dozen
different corporations which they
control. The financial threads cross and
recross in a vast complicated network,
across the United States and Europe.
These threads are being pulled in,
drawn together into immense trusts
which sweep into the grip of these
corporations millions of workers.
Huge Profits.
The American Telephone and Tele-
graph Company reported net income
of 33,474, 900 for the quarter ending
March 81, 1928. Consolidated Gas
Company reported in 1927, the
latest figures, $42,273,77', paid out
in dividends. The utility corporation
is heading for one giant pool, to draw
it's power from Niagara Falls, the
ST. Lawrence River and other sources.
The gas and electric combine will
then supply western New England,
New York, New Jersey, Delaware and
the eastern part of Pennsylvania. This
hook-up will include the Public Ser
vice Company of New Jersey, the
United Gas Improvement Company OF
Philadelphia, the Coppers Company of
Pittsburgh and some of the upstate
utilities. The United Gas Improve
ments recently combined with the
Philadelphia Electric Company which

The year 1928 promises to be the
year in which large masses of young
workers in this country will be in
troduced to politics. 1t depends on
the advanced section of the working
class, organized and supporting the
Workers (Communist) Party, wheth-
er these young workers will take their
first steps in politics on the side of
the workers or on the side of the
capitalists.
The capitalists have already begun
a campaign to get the young workers
to support their parties. They are
making a drive to enlist the services
of the youth in their election cam
paign. They will offer the toiling
youth phrases about democracy"
GLORIOUS country" etc., but natural
ly will very carefully avoid saying
anything about the low wages, the
long hours, the miserable conditions
that the young workers face in in

Zinc producers from all parts Of
the world are meeting in Brussels to
organize the zinc industry. Even the
United States is represented. The
meeting is significant. 1t is one event
in long chain that leads from local
economy to world economy.
Zinc is one of the minor metals. 1t
is, none the less, very important
factor ia the mineral industry.
World production of zinc totals
about 100000 tons each year. AS
in the case of so many other i'm
portant mineral industries, the United
States leads with 1851 I tons year;

and Poland third with 124,094 tons.
These three countries, with less than
a tenth of the worlds population
produce more than two-thirds of the
worlds zinc.
Four other countries: France, Ger
many, Canada and Tasmania produce
244,775 tons Of zinc,-about fifth of
the total world production. Hence
there are seven countries, with a very
small fraction of the worlds total
population, that produce almost the
entire annual output Of zinc.
Zinc users, in all parts of the world,
must turn to one Of a half dozen
countries for their supplies.

The basis for world economy is be-
ing laid by the capitalist:
(D Through a world wide scien-
tific method of tool production.
(2) Through world wide marketing.
(3) Through the organization of
huge monopolies that operate on a
world scale.
Thus far the capitalists can go, but
the next step they cannot take. They
cannot organize an effective world
economy because of the sectional
limited character of capitalism and
the capitalist state. 1t remains for
the workers to lay the basis for an
effective world economy by taking
over the socially productive tools and
linking them under a unit plan.
