BY PAUL CROUCH.

All young workers are called
upon to participate in the anti-mili.
tarist campaign during May and
June conducted by the Young Work
ers (Communist) League. This cam
paign will have as its major aim
the intensification of the struggle
against the war danger and the mill
tary preparations, including the war
propaganda conducted by the gov
eminent, the introduction of mill
tary training into the schools, in
creases in the armed forces and
ornaments, Citizens Military Train
ing Camps, etc. Special efforts
must be made to reach the young
workers in the armed forces.
The war preparations are going
on behind a pacifist smoke screen,
and one of the most important tasks
of the anti-war campaign is to ex-
pose both the pacifist pretenses of
the government, including the Kel-
logg pact, and disarmament" con-
ferences, and the efforts of pacifist
societies. 1t must be made clear
that in reality the pacifists work
hand in hand with the militarists.

Plan Anti-llllitarid Drive in Nav and June

Revolutionary militant struggle
against capitalist militarism must
be explained. Our slogan of con-
verting the imperialist war into a
civil war must be made clear.
Members of the League should
utilize the campaign for eliminating
all pacifist tendencies remaining
within our own ranks. In order to
do this, the League must make a
careful study of the present inter-
national situation and the role of
American imperialism, as we'll as
the more elementary problems of
our attitude to militarism. One of
the most serious of the sources of
oacifist errors is underestimation of
the war danger.
Some workers have an idea that
anti-militarist work is field in it.
self, that it has nothing to do with
industrial work and the everyday
struggles of the young workers.
Nothing is more remote from the
facts than this false conception. Our
anti-militarist activities must be
linked up With the other work of
the League.
Our fight for the rights. of the
servicemen must be intensified. 1t

is not sufficient to conduct Revolu-
tionary propaganda in the armed
forces in the same way that we
fight for the interest of young
workers in the factories.
One feature of our campaign must
be renewal and intensification of
the fight for the immediate and I'M
conditional release of John Porter,
and the significance of this case
must be made clear to the masses.
Much of our activities will be
conferred around our fight against
the Citizens Military Training
Camps, as an outstanding example
of the INFLAMMATION of the youth.
Our anti-militarist campaign in
all fields-for our servicemen's de-
mands, against INFLAMMATION of the
youth, against military appropria-
lions, for the release of Porter,
against the CMTC-must be car
ried into the factories and trade
unions. Also, the idea that anti
miitarist work is only for the youth
must be combatted. While the youth
is most active in this field, every
worker should participate actively
in our campaign against capitalist
militarism and the war danger.

The servicemen come from the
ranks of the working class most
of them were forced into the service
by economic necessity, by unemploy-
ment, in addition to the false claims
made by recruiting officers. The
Young Workers Communist League
considers it as much part of its
task to defend the interests of the
servicemen in the armed forces as
much as the young workers in the
factories.
The demands for servicemen for

paign follows:

base pay for privates and 25 per

in charge of mess and inspection of
commissary accounts by the men.

'Jonesy" Entertaining Comedy
Mow Playing at BiJou Theatre

"T0NESY" an amusing comedy by
y Anne Morrison and John Peter
Toohey, now playing at the Bijou
Theatre, is based upon a series of
short stories that Toohey wrote for
the Pictorial Review several years
ago. The play is more of a farce
than a comedy. Full of nonsense,
nevertheless, it has been so well
written that it never becomes bore
some-more than can be said for
most of the plays in this category.
Wilbur Jones, known to his play
mates as Jonesy, returns to his home
town and starts trouble. He sells his
fathers car, gives his folks the i'm
preston that he is going to marry
an actress and does a lot of other
"bad, bold things" that cause a great
deal of worrying in the old home
stead.
The entire plot is too intricate to
be told in detail. Suffice to say
everything turns out satisfactory in
the end, which is to be expected in
the play. Such plays are written only
to amuse, r5t to make one think. 1t
does the former so well, that it is not
difficult to forget its lack of i'm
portance,
The cast is a good one. The title
role is played by Raymond Guinon.
Those who saw him in "The Cradle
Snatchers" will not be disappointed
with his present role. Others in
the cast include Nydia Westman,
Spring Byington, Kate Mayhem and
Donald Meek. The play is staged by
Earl Boothe.

When a prisoner told the officer
that he was sick, he was either not
listened to or else given a big dose
of castor oil and put to work again.
One prisoner broke his wrist and
when he tried to have the doctor

of castor oil. He couldn't work with
his hurt wrist and received bad
beating before the officers found
that he really had a broken wrist.

signed by "a FORMER c. M. T. c.

I. c. student myself 1 was very
interested in reading this article
After reading it over l decided to
write this article.

in Syracuse and l was one Of the
good boys" in the factory. l came
late to work very seldom and never
refused to work overtime for sup,
per money, (35 cents), whenever
the foreman asked me.
ASKED to Join c. M. T. C.
One morning in June 1928 ] was
called in the "no admittance office
and was asked to wait there with
nine other young workers for the
loss. We did not know what it vas
all about. Some of us thought we
were getting a raise or that we
were being advanced to higher de-
partment. A few minutes later the
boss walked in with his private sec
rotary and told us that we were
recommended by the foremen to go
for a months vacation WITH two
weeks pay to the G. M. 7. c., Platts-
burgh camp, because we were good
boys" We signed papers which his
secretary filled out and then we
were told to get prepared to go the
following week to camp.
Horse Stable for Meals.
AS we came to camp we were
dressed in heavy soldiers uniform.
We also received a rifle, bayonet,
and knap-sack which weighed about
Is or 20 pounds. At first we
thought that we would have a good
time by going to shoot birds on the
lake, blu. we were mistaken. The
next morning we had to ger up at
$50 and before we had chance TO
dress and wash we had to be in the
dining loom, (the boys called it
horse stablel, for breakfast. If some
one was not on time he lost his
and did not eat until din
ner time.
After tent inspection we had to
drill on the field with our rifle,
bayonet and knap-sack until some
of US tainted. When boy tainted
his partner next him had no right
to pick him up or bring his water,
and he had to lie there until cor
poral or seargent took care of him.
Every day such cases, 20 or 30, hap
pened on the drilling field. Then at
1890 we went for the rotten din
ner. Many of the boys missed their
dinner because they were too tired
to go to the morse stable to eat. The
rest of the day was taken up with
other forms of drills. This is how
we spent the whole month.
Rotten Food.
The foods consisted of sinking
eggs, bread and butter and "lemon-
AIDE" (made of cold water and sugar
with salt in it), in the morning;
for dinner and supper we got rot
ten vegetables and "meat." We call
ed it donkey meat because it was so
hard that we had to break two
knives before we could cut it in half.
On Sunday we had holiday. We
got some old chicken meat and ice
cream On two inches of pie. Many
Of US were laid up in the hospital
for many days on account of the
rotten foods.
I expect to write to you some
more.

called a good time" and Andy
Masters had been the temporary
object and financial stimulant of
her affections.
AS she and Mention worked their
way across the crowded room, Mer-
cedeS glimpsed Andy, whose eyes
were bent morosely on his plate.
Clutching her escorts sleeve, she
piloted him to the table. Ignoring
Edna, she tapped Andy on the shoul-
der and exclaimed: :,
why, look who's here, our own
little Andy, alive and sober, too!
Gosh, Andy, you were a scream last

ing Edna for the first time, she
asked abruptly, who's your girl

The startled, embarrassed Andy
struggled to his feet. Red in the
face, he leaned heavily upon the
back of his chair

choked at a loss for words. Edna
saved the situation.

rising from her chair, 1--WE really

Andy's arm and quickly led him
away.
Mention had been a silent specta-

sardonic grin twisted his lips. AS
Andy and Edna passed out of sight,
he whistled softly a bar of that old
Spanish American war song,
