BY LELAND OLDS,

Factory employment in the United
States in November reached the low
est level ever recorded for that month
since the U. S. department Of labor
started its record in 1914. Compared
with November 1925 the number of
factory workers has been reduced by
about 100000 while 1,136,000 wage
earners who had jobs in American
factories in November 1923 are either
out Of work today or have been forced
into more or less parasitical occupa-
tons.
Factory employment, according to
the department, fell 1870 between
October and November reaching
level of ga below November 1926. 1t
is now 1870 under November 1928
and 25% under November 1917, the
highest November on record. AS a
matter Of fact the figures show S1sqo

lowly tasks.
f. attempts should be made for
Central Labor Councils, or if that
fails group of local unions, to call
delegate conferences to deal with the
conditions and problems of the young
workers.

Youth and the Left Wing.
To the organized Left Wing the
young worker would be great asset.
Ii we recognize the young worker to
be of great value to the unions, then
a hundred times more is it important
for the organized Left Wing to win
the young worker. Where an older
worker will hesitate because of fam
lily obligations or conservatism of age,
the young worker who has acquired
none of these traits as yet, will form
fighting section of the Left Wing.
What is necessary is for the inher-
ent Righteousness to be coupled with
the ideas and knowledge of the con-
scious Left Winger, so that he will
know why and what he is rebellious
for and not just allow this spirit to
''go to seed" or be cultivated in other
channels.
Left Wing Must Take Lead.
The task Of initiating the drive for
unionization of young workers be-
longs to the Left Wing. AT the same
time the Left Wing workers must
win the confidence of these young
workers by championing their de-
Misunderstanding them on an equal
basis-encouraging them to partici-
pate in the union affairs, giving them
an theological weapon to guide their
militancy by.
Today, when the whole tendency
of the officialdom of the A. F. L. is
to drive out the Left Wing and sell
out the workers to the bosses, this
problem becomes of central import
ance. The counter-offensive Of the
rank and file workers must consider
the youth in their program or else
they will be ignoring and casting
