Special attention was given to Ne

Convention showed a growing
interest in Negro work and
a growing consciousness Of the
problems which devolve upon our

FactionaIism Must Go.
In the discussion, as in tie re-
ports, great emphasis was laid upon
the necessity of finally wiping out
factionalism. At time when the
Party stands before great tasks of
the war danger and the organization
of the unorganized, strike move
ments, and the building up Of the
new unions, factionalism is a deadly
menace to the development Of the
movement and the accomplishment
of these tasks.
Class Struggle Sharpcns.
The Convention everywhere lecog-
nized the sharpening of the class
struggle, the coming Of big strug-
giles indicated already by the strike
movements in the district and on
that basis recognized the need for
concentration upon the work of or
ganizing the unorganized, building
of new unions and the creation of
powerful Left wings co-ordinated
through the 7. U. L. L. Strategic
industries like marine, metal, trans
portation, received considerable at
tention by the convention.
In the fight against social re-
formism, the convention recognized
the necessity of conducting a mer-
CHESS struggle against all forms of
social reformism expressed through
the American Federation of Labor
bureaucratic, the socialist party and
the so-called LEFT" social reformist
groups, such as the Music group
and the Left" maneuvers of the So

HOOVER RUN
PROBE
By ROBERT s. THORNBURGH
International Neua Service

INTERNATIONAL news service
One phase of the prohibition in.
vestigation to be made by President
Hoover's law enforcement commits
sion is to be that pertaining to the
use of intoxicating liquors by stu
dents at schools and colleges, It
was learned today.
Some OF the strongest opponents
of prohibition insist that the
Eighteenth Amendment has in.
creased youthful wildness and that
the average girl and boy halfway
through school is a connisseur of
the latest bootleg concoctions of the
day.
Decline Indicated
So far as college drinking is
concerned, however, an apparent
decline was indicated by reports to
the Treasury. During the last
year four universities appealed to
the prohibition bureau for assist
ance in wiping out the bootleg
traffic with students. Treasury of.
ficials expressed the hope that Mr..
Hoover's commission would look
into student-drinking with great
care, especially with reference to
the use of intoxicants at social and
athletic functions.
Most of the complaints and appeals
for assistance reaching the Treasury
have occurred during football sea.
sons at which period drinking in the
environs of colleges reaches its MAXI
mum. This was attributed both to
the assembling of big crowds and the
fi-ct that social activities in the col.
leges are in full swing during the
gridiron season.
Outsiders Blamed
On behalf of universities, dry of.
ficials pointed out that probably
more Of the. drinking incident, to
football games is done by outsiders
than by students. This was said To
b especially true in big ,centers of
population where the games draw
vast throngs from nonstudent cir
cles.
Officials were, counting on the
Presidential commission to recon.
mend constructive means of better
protecting the student bodies of large
schools from bootleggers. At the
present time prohibition chiefs in
those districts where universities are
located have been instructed to be
especially watchful and to cooperate
with heads, of educational institutions
in fighting the liquor traffic.
