YOUNG WORKER DRIVE BEGINS
LIEBKNECHT DAY.

Liebknecht Day is the day reserved
by the Young Workers (Communis0
League to the honor of Karl Lieb-
knecht, the great leader of the work
ing class who was murdered in Berlin
on January Is, 1919. On or about
that day this year the working class
youth will commemorate our fallen
comrade.
Starting with the Liebknecht Day
celebrations, the Young Workers
(Communist) League of America is
launching a campaign to get 5000
new subscriptions and $4,000 in con-
tributions for The Young Worker,
the organ of the League.
In special statement issued today,
the Young Workers League declares:
Every year we honor the memory
of Karl Liebknecht, the founder of the
revolutionary youth movement.
"Can you do this merely by meet
ings and speeches"
"No We can honor Liebknecht
best by building an organ that will
express Liebknecht's ideas and will
mobilize the masses of the young
workers for the cause of which Karl
Liebknecht was the leader and martyr.

examination Of Table 1 and 2 will be
illuminating to many. Here we see
in general, considering those gain
fully employed" which includes fore
men, supervisors, etc, that the youth
form PAT per cent of the total.
If we take special occupations, of
the seventeen listed, there are only
five where the young workers from
less than 80 per cent of the total en-
ployed and in many, such as Baker,
les Sc per cent; Paper Box Sd per
cent; Candy 81 per cent; Farm La
Dor AZ per cent; Printing & Publish
ing AZ per cent; Electrical Supply 40
per cent, ETC., we see the youth forming
at least half and some times more OF
the entire working force. There are
even certain industries, such as those
listed herein which can be considered
youth industries" and which must
be approached from this basis.
1t is especially significant that the
youth are employed primarily in those
industries which are classified as "un-
organized" Also they are found in
those types of industries where little
or no skill is required and where the
entire industry has been mechanical.
The Trend in Industry. -
Since these figures were taken
(192O) the whole trend of industry
has been for the further elimination
of skill and introduction of machinery,
which has Undoubtedly brought several
hundred thousands more young work
ers into industry. Consider the radio
industry, established these past few
years which employs almost ex-
clusively young workers under FL
years of age.

A YOUNG WORKER LOOKS FOR A

New York City.-A clerk looked up
from the cultural columns of the
"Daily Mirror" and asked me what l
want. Like a number of other job
less youth, | am a candidate for $3.50
a day and "eats" with the automatic
restaurants (the throw-your -nickel-in-
the-slot places). 1t is regretable that
the inventive genius of America has
not devised a machinery through
which help can be hired and fired.
Until then, our 'tired" clerks must
continue to lay aside their DAILY
Mirrors" until troublesome applicants
are dispensed with.
l am advised to return at p. m.
when the night managers telephone
for the help they require. | do so,
incidentally discovering tactical err
ror in not showing up at least one
hour earlier. Some 80 or 80 men and
women of all ages are present. One
young fellow next to me had slept
on park benches for three nights
but sported a clean collar for the oc-
casion. He curses frequently, chiefly
at the two clerks whom he holds re-
sponsible for the waste of time.
The clerks are now busy at the
phone and only a few applicants are
called to the counter to receive in
structions. 1t is after p. m. and
very few have been dealt with. Since
the employment bureau closes at $50
p. m. we become restless. The phone
rings. The minutes tick by. The
clerks look more frequently at the
clock. ''That's all for tonight"
shouts the ponderous one. "That's

as a colored boy approaches him in

HOSIERY
STRIKERS HEAR
LEAGUE SPEAKER

BUFFALO, N. Y, Jan. 6. - A
mass meeting of the striking Hosiery
workers of the Millay'shops was adj
dressed by one of the members of the
Young Workers League.
After pledging the help and support
of the League to the strikers in their
struggle against the inhuman speed
up and miserable wages, the speaker
congratulated the young strikers ON
the militant manner in which they
were conducting the strike, in spite
of the bitter cold weather and the hos
tility of the police and company hired
thugs.
Dangers Shown.
The speaker also pointed out some
of the dangers that confronted the
strike and the obstacles that must be
fought and overcome in order to bring
the strike to successful conclusion.
The greatest danger lay in the at
tempt of the bosses to obtain an in
junction to prevent picketing; so far
the bosses have been unable to get this
injunction, but with victory in sight
for the workers this injunction will
no doubt be granted, and then the
strikers must resort to more militant
mass picketing.
The speaker also drew attention to
the efforts of the bosses to discourage
and split the young strikers by
spreading slanderous stories about
the strike leaders, by using the priests
and school principals against the
strikers, all with the object of break
ing the confidence of the workers in
their ability to win the strike and
smashing the union. All that is nee
essary to bring victory for the
workers is the continuation of mass
picketing and sticking together in the
union for a united struggle against
the bosses.
Strikes Compared.
The Y. w. L. member compared
the Hosiery workers strike to the Pas
sale Textile strike; although on a
much smaller scale both strikes have
the same features, a fight against in
human conditions, miserable wages
and for the recognition of the union,
and the Buffalo bosses using the same
methods of police intimidation that
were used in Passaic. The speaker
called on the young Hosiery strikers
to use the same slogan of the Passaic
workers for "a fight to the finish"
and victory is assured.
Announcement by the League MEM
Der that the League was arranging a
social and dance for the benefit of the
young strikers was received with loud
applause.

Two young workers universities
have now been started in Leningrad.
They are the first Of their kind in the
Soviet Union. Lectures are delivered
there by first-class professors twice
during the week and on Sundays.
In all trade unions in the Soviet
Union new collective agreements have
been concluded. New tariffs have
been specially arranged for appren-
tees thru which wages have been gem
orally raised by 20 per cent. Appren-
tees in the metal industry instead of
20.50 roubles, which they received
hitherto will get 24.60 roubles month
ly. Young workers who are engaged
in specially hard work will now get
instead of l months holiday with pay,
6 weeks holiday with pay. In The
Soviet Union there is law in accord
ance with which every enterprise
must employ a certain percentage of
apprentices, in order in this way to
train qualified workers. Seventy
five per cent Of these young workers
must be admitted in the factory
schools.

YOUNG WORKERS
MUST Get into
TRADES UNIONS
By JOHN WILLIAMSON.

he nineteenth century with It's Slo-
gan to the youth of go West, Young
Man, Go West" has given way to the
"Help Wanted" columns of the daily
press and the factory gate. No longer
is America, "the land of opportunity"
as the countless millions Of young
workers can testify.
Altho this transformation has
taken place and we find the young
workers forming one-fourth of the
total working population, they are as
yet, not factor IN the labor move
ment corresponding to their numerical
strength or their strategic position as
bridge between the foreign born and
American born workers.
The large bulk of the youth, as far
as they are unorganized are found in
institutions, such as the Boy Scouts,
the YMCA, the Abs, and the Catho-
lie Guides, which are pro-boss in
character and whose doctrines are
against organized labor, not to
speak of militant labor movement.
A very limited number of the working
youth are to be found in the trades
unions and the only attempt at or
ganization is found in the left-wing
political organizations.
If we contrast such a situation to
that existing in the European labor
movement, we see a vast difference.
There the trades unions have estab-
lished special youth journals, issue
special youth literature, have estab-
lished special bureaus which are con-
tinually in contact with the young
workers and see that the life of the
union is of such character that it
will interest and hold the newcoming
youth.
A Wrong Philosophy
There are those who think that the
youth 'are to be seen and not heard"
This was the philosophy of the past
and can have nothing in common with
militant section of the labor move
ment who have in mind the mobilizing
of the laboring class for progressive
steps forward. Backward as the
American working youth are, there
are signs of recent date, such as the
,lPassaic strike, the miners strike and
the present struggle in Colorado
where the youth have played an i'm
portant part and have showed them
selves capable of leadership and of
conducting a militant struggle for
better conditions.
Organizing Young Workers
The organizing of the millions of
young workers is part of the task
of "Organizing the Unorganized."
This gigantic task falls upon the Left
Wing. The problems of the youth
are therefore the problems of the
Left Wing to solve and find organi-
rational expression for.
The Location of Young Workers
The extent to which young workers
between the ages of 1924 have pene-
trated industry is little know. AM

The forgotten moth balls claim the Beldng- Heminway suits as the Silk Sox turn in their regalia after the most active season in their history. With a total of thirty-eight games played, only nine of which were lost, the Putnam boys. who sacrificed their weekend pleasure that the Put. nam fans might see games, of their fancy, have called recess until the urge of another spring.
 Overlooking the fact that the Silk Sox were again unable to tear the Grosvenordale series from the strong Legion club, the fans are cautioned lest they forget the days when the local diamond opponents treated them to twenty-eight wins against some of the strongest clubs in three states. The first notable performance found the Sox handling the Norwich State Hospital Club, 1927 National semi pro champs, 9-6 defeat, followed closely by a 6-3 victory over the New London Socony Club.

Cody's marker came after he had cleared perfect line of interference around left end on a fast sprint Of sixty-tive odd yards, while sham effected his on thrilling brok- en field run after intercepting a Northbridge pass on the visitors twen- ty yard line. While not actually cred ited with touchdown, Charlie Bove. the local right half, was directly re- sponsible for the third Putnam score after crashing through center from the seven yard marker.
