Y o IN G Workers (Communist)
League from a Komsomol nucleus
in the Soviet Union:
Dear Comrades;
"On behalf of the Y. c. L. nucleus
of the "Pishchevik" 1.-THE Food
worker) Works I am writing you
this first letter in order to establish
firm contact with you. This is
the desire of all the young comrades
in our nucleus. We trust that our
contact will be a steady one, con-
sisting in regular correspondence be-
tween us devoted to the description
of the life and activity of the young
workers, particularly of the young
Communists. In this letter l will
briefly acquaint you with the work
of our nucleus in regard to the
young workers and to the industry
in general
Advantages of Soviet Youth
"Our nucleus is an industrial one,
nearly all the young Communists
are working at the "Pishchevik"
Works; altogether there are SO
members in the Y. c. organization,
including pioneers transferred from
our squads into the Y. C. L. Our
nucleus used to be considered one
Of the best in this district on ac-
count of its activity. However, the
effect of summer and vacations has
naturally lessened the scope of our
activities. Just now we are devot-
ing good deal of attention to Gull
tural work. The nucleus organizes
mass excursions on the Nolga to-
gether with non-party young work
ers. At these excursions the young
people enjoy sport and recreation
and at the same time become init
mately acquainted and closely asso-
ciated with each other, whilst at
the request of the young people
themselves educational talks are or
gained Every fortnight there are
held general young Communist
meetings and meetings of the bureau
Of the necleus are held once a week.
Meetings of Workers.
"The questions discussed at the
meetings are chiefly concerned with
the industry-the naturalization of
production, the position of the young
workers in the industry, the signing
of collective agreements, etc, also
questions relating to the interna-
tional situation. An interest in the
efficiency of industry is taken not
only by the Young Communists, but
also by the unattached young work
ers. Thus, during the last few
months there has been considerable
reduction in the number of cases of
young workers failing to report for
work, whilst scamping has been en-
tirely eliminated; the Y C. nucleus
is waging a relentless fight against
scamping, and one member was re-

for scamping.

Illustrating the interest taken by
the youth in the industry and in the
industrial conferences. Only re-
Gently the question was raised by
the apprentices that the apprentices
at the candy works shall be taught
the manufacture of all kinds of
candy, which previously was not the
case. Whilst previously they used
to break up and burn the old boxes,
the young Communists have raised
the question at the Industrial Con-
ference to take steps towards the
elimination Of this wastefulness,
and the administration has acted ac-
cordingly.
Youth Day in the U. S. S. r.
There are a great many other
little facts showing the affectionate
care of the young workers towards
industry. At the time of writing,
our young people are preparing for
the festivities associated with the
international Youth Day." You
probably know this festival and are
preparing for it, Here it is going
TO be carried out under the slogan

country, and of increasing and i'm

active part in the preparations, hav-

such as addresses at young work.

wall newspaper, an evening at the
