eyes"
Her best feature" Cherry inter-
rupted contritely. Crystal really
has lovely hazel eyes, if she'd let
them rest a bit. Oh, I don't mean
to be catty, but I think Detective
Mcguire wants really helpful de-
scription.
"Her eyes are large and wide,
very round, and she uses dark
brown mascara on her lashes. She
took the mascara as well as the rest
Of her makeup kit with her. She
Uses quite lot of rouge-that or
ange-tinted kind, with geranium lip

Detective Mcguire grinned at
her.
"Height9 weight9" he inquired
of cherry.

Cherry replied promptly. And she
weighs about 118 pounds"
ANY reason to suppose she COM

snapped at Faith.
Faith blancted. Suicide? I don't
understand. If she'd-killed her
self, who could have written the
ransom letter."
Mcguire explained impatientIy:
Got to consider every angle in a
case like this. Some crook might
have seen her do it or found her
suitcase afterward, and decided to
capitalize on her disappearance"
But" Faith began Heebly.

Fifteen Factories Preanei=s the New

W S. knudsen. president and gen
eral manager Of Chevrolet Motor Com
many. reputed one Of the most eonsery-
ative executives in the industry, pre-
dictel al Detroit last week that Chew
rolct production schedules for the COM
ing year would call for an output
which would equal at least 100000
cars and trucks
Fifteen mammoth factories through
out the country. according 10 knudsen,
are now working al top speed building
the new six Cars are being distrib-
uted to the dealer organization as fast
as they come off the line. so that as
many a. possible win be on display and
ready for delivery December Goth.
The tens of thousands who have al
ready placed orders can feel assured
Of early deliveries. Mr.. knudsen said,
when they bear in mind that ninety
days after the introduction Of the 1928
car more than quarter million OF
them were on the highways in owner
service. He further recalled that by
June of the present year, five months
after the January announcement, a
half million cars were in use. And be-
fore October ! the company establish
ed a record of building and delivering
100000 cars which Mr. Knudsen re-
erred to as the greatest single achieve
ment in the history of the automobile
industry.
Mr.. Knudsen's optimism over the
Forthcoming year, he explained, has its
basis in continued prosperity and in
what he interprets as well defined
preference on the part Of the public |
for the six cylinder car. THE coming
year will find national prosperity sol
idly entrenched. and Chevrolet, with 1
new and improved product carefully /
designed 10 meet public preference, is 4
prepared to handle its full share Of the
coming years business growth" he
said. IAN Of our production facilities
are being keyed up to meet the rising |
demand so that Chevrolet viii be able
to make deliveries as rapidly as our
precision methods permit
"The year just coming TO a close
found Chevrolet preparing itself for
the advent Of the new six. Numerous
expansions were brought TO compile
ton. adding TO our facilities several
hundred thousand feet of factory floor
space The natural result Of all this
has been an increased productive ca
pacity.

Organizing the Young Workers

existence of the Communist youth
League of France, the existence of the
c. G. T. u, which is the trade union
center that is really organizing the
young workers.
The interesting part of the confer
ence was the discussion from the
floor. These discussions were very
revealing of the state that exists in
the trade unions. The discussion of
the various youth delegates showed
the following:
Bureaucracy Se1l-Outs.
Not only are the trade union
bureaucrats and their allies not in
terested in unionizing the young
workers, but wherever the young
workers themselves take steps to or
ganize, the trade union bureaucrats
do everything in their power to smash
their organization. Four examples
were given by the young workers who
were delegates to the conference.
First, the Plumbers Helpers. The
Plumbers Helpers went out on strike
in support of the Plumbers, 1000
strong. Even during the strike they
succeeded in organizing a union of
Plumbers Helpers. When the plum
bers settled their strike, they sold the
helpers out completely. Not only that,
but the agreements were made with
the building bosses that no member of
the Plumbers Helpers Union is to be
employed at his job. Then negotia-
tons were carried on. But all these
negotiations did not result in the
recognition of the Plumbers Helpers,
did not result in their inclusion in
the union. The status now is that the
Plumbers Helpers have a union, a
small union it is true, and this union
is not even recognized by the Plum
bers union.

was given to labor bureaucrats. Of
all the reporters, only one was a
young worker, namely, Clarence Mil
Ter, who reported on the unionization
of the young workers in mass indus
tries, such as textile, steel, automo-
bile. Other reporters, including A. J..
Music himself, Mr.. Lefkowitz, Tom
Tippet and Rose Schneiderman, it is
needless to say, contributed very little
towards the knowledge of the young
workers or towards the unionization
of the young workers. The only sub
stantial talk was made by Clarence
Miller who took up the basic prob
lens dealing with the activities and
the problems of the young workers.
After the report of Tom Tippet on
Facts about young workers in in
dustries," and of Abraham Lefkow-
itz, about Legislation effecting con-
ditions and status of young workers"
general discussion was to take
place.
Herbert Fam, representative of the
Young Workers (Communist) League,
Immediately asked for the floor stat
ing that he had something specific
to present to the conference which
he would like to have discussed Mr..
Saposs made every effort to refuse
him the floor, although he had him
self promised that even if the Young
Workers League delegates were not
seated as regular delegates, they
would be given every privilege to par
ticipate in the discussion. He man
euvered for almost an hour and fin
ally was compelled to give the Young
Workers League representative the
floor.

report of Abraham Lefkowitz was
nothing but eulogy of the demo-

City and of the child labor laws Of
New York State. He gave facts and
figures showing the extent of child
labor in the United States including
New York City, showing that the
average wage of young workers in
this country was less than $14 a
week, and finally he read a resolution
on Legislation for the young work
ers," (Which was already printed in
the DAILY WORKER) and which the
asked the conference to adopt. When
he was thru, he received an enormous
ovation. This made Mr.. Lefkowitz
somewhat hot under the collar and he
Immediately launched into TRADE
against the proposals of the Young
Workers League, claiming that they
were impractical, utopian, etc. etc.
etc, and even resorted to personal
undertaking and name-calling.
However, by this time the confer
ence had already reached the point
where the efforts of Lefkowitz, Sa-
poss, could not stop it from carrying
on its renewed work Practically
every delegate who spoke supported
the proposals of the Young Workers

The character of some of the other
reports may be indicated from the fol-
lowing: Rose Schneiderman was sup
posed to report on the "unionization
of the Young Workers in Miscellane-
Gus Industries" Her report started
out as follows: youth is that period
of life when hopes are high and
nothing is impossible" Mr.. Saposs,
was supposed to report on "What the
unions can do for the young workers"
He spent practically all his time dis
cussing youth activities and plans"
in France, but in that period, quite by
accident he failed to mention the

Appealing to the workers of China,
Japan and the United States to unite
in their common fight on the inn
perialist nations of the world, the
Japanese fraction and Chinese buro
of District IS, Workers (Communist)
Party of America has issued the fol-
lowing statement:
The present conflict between the
Chinese nationalist troops and the
Japanese troops in the province Of
Shantung is another phase of the in
ner struggle Of world Imperialism.
These inner conflicts may lead to an
open conflict between the United
States and Japan. The advance of the
so called North expedition under
Chang Kai-shek would extend the
American and British influence to
North China which has been monopol-
lied by the Japanese imperialists as
it's Sphere of influence" ever since
the defeat of China by Japan in
1915. In order to safeguard the
special privileges of the Japanese
capitalist class in China or to "main-
tain the prestige of the Japanese en-
pire" as the Japanese militarists put
it, the Tanaka government is bound
to dispatch troops to China to tell
Chang Kai-shek that the advance of
the North Expedition must not inter-
fere with the special position of Japan
in Shantung and Manchuria. The
Japanese imperialists do not care
