Splendid work was done during the

The right wing union bureau
Gratis of the A. F. of l.. and the
socialist party are officially united

have organized and are maintain

aid of these company unions the
bosses have succeeded in under
mining the unions--to wipe out
the 40-hour week, reduce wages
to a starvation level and establish
piece-wcrk. inside and outside con-
tracing, the speed-up system and
general conditions of slavery. All
union conditions won by the work
ers of the needle trades through
bitter struggle and sacrifice have
been taken back by the bosses
with the aid of the company
unions. The needle trades work
ers are now in a desperate state.
The great mass of the workers are
suffering from unemployment,

By MINNIE LURYE.
(Field Organizer, Dist. s, Young
Workers League)

The Communist youth movement
of Chicago is moving ever forward.
All activity revolves around our
major tasks: ITO win and organize
the working youth-and our fight
against the war danger" Important
accomplishments in our activity can
be registered for the past year.
Activity in Coal Fields.
We today have approximately $50
young workers and workingclass
students in our ranks, compared to
some 240 last year. And one of our
basic tasks is to draw these young
workers into active participation in
tn, class struggle. We turn to the
coal fields where we have actively
been engaged in organizing the
young miners into our Young Com
munist League; mobilizing the young
miners for active support of the Ma
tional Miners Union and for fight
against the reactionary, betraying
Lewis machine.
The task of maintaining our or
ganizers in the coal fields is by no
means an easy one. And the condi-
lions today in the coal fields are such
that the work must proceed slowly.
But even in face of innumerable diff
ficulties, we have built up a small
nine nucleus that has already issued
three mine bulletins--very effective
in rallying the men for a fight on
their immediate everyday "kicks. y
We have organized some four Young
Communist League units and by
careful attention we hope to make
them real factors in the struggles of
the young miners.
Miners Children Organized.
Six active, live, Young Pioneer
League units have been organized
and the miners children are swiftly
being drawn into the daily tasks of
aiding their militant fathers in their
heroic struggle.
Thousands of leaflets, calling upon
the youth to support the militant
new miners union, pointing out the
treacherous betrayal of the Lewis
Fishwick machine in the signing of
the new wage agreement and the
fact that it is the youth again who

TRIES TO STEM
MILITANT TIDE
Laws Directed Openly
Against Workers
(Red Aid Press Serricel


BERLIN, by MaiD.-A law
directed against the revolutionary
workers movement and especially
against the Communist Party, has
been introduced into the Greek par
Lament by Venizelos, dictator Of
Greece. In the manner of the Bull
garian state-martial law, it classes
Communists as criminal offenders.
The new law declares punishable:
"a Propaganda among the youth
under IS years old and among stu
dents; (2) the distribution of mani
festos or leaflets which call for a
walk-out. Gin connection with the in
Justice of the bourgeois regime;" (3)

(6) resistance to state power, justice
or the police during the breaking
up of mass demonstrations; CD the
holding of a meeting without per-
mission; (S) any connection. no
matter for what purpose, between
Greek and foreign citizens.
This unheard of law has aroused
a widespread protest. The Greek

drawn into the struggle against the
war danger.
To become better Communists, to
understand more thoroly the tasks
before us, we hold district training
schools every year. This training is
not only thru lecture or book, but
thru actively engaging every mem
b1r of the school in the everyday
work" Some 80 young workers
were given such training for period
of five weeks this last year and have
since become some of the most active
young Communists in building our
revolutionary movement. In the
short period, because of the splendid
anti-militarist work carried on by
the group, the open air meetings,
factory distributions and Sacco-
Vanzetti demonstration, Al arrests
took place and the cases of ten are
still pending in court.
Negro. Work.
In tn, Negro field some progress
can be noted. In Chicago, unit has
been built up in the South Side
Negro district). The young Negroes
are actively engaged in building a
nucleus in the Pullman car shops. A
unit consisting of II young Negroes
has been organized in Jacksonville
ILL.,, and thruout the district all units
are doubling up on efforts to draw
in the Negro youth.
We look forward in 1929 to real
red year of continuing our work of
organizing and winning the working
youth for the revolutionary move
ment and for an ever greater
struggle against the militarization of
the youth for another bosses war.

SPRING STREET
REPAIR BEGINS
Asphalt Plant Reopened to
Speed Work.

Spring patching of city streets was
begun by the street repair depart
ment today, with the reopening of
the city asphalt plant, New York
and the Nickel Plate railroad.
Repair of downtown streets was
first. The workmen are expected
to continue patching downtown
chuck holes for month or so, de-
pending on weather. Four gangs
will start in the outskirts as soon as
the business district is taken care
of.
Edward Rochat, street repair super
intendent, will increase his force
from twenty to 100 men within g.
few days.
City councils appropriated $4,000
of the gasoline tax fund for i'm
proved street repair Monday night.
City Engineer A. H. Moore said
about $500 was saved on $4,000
worth of asphalt by buying before
the season opened.
"We hope to pay for the cost of
a $500 portable asphalt machine
we will buy through savings in ma
terial and labor the first year," said
Moore. 1--WE can operate the year
round with this small plant and save
the cost of hauling from the plant
to remote sections Of the city. This
will enable us to make real repairs
in winter instead of the temporary
patches" Moore declared.
The city will save $4,000 through
operation of it's own asphalt plant
this year, Moore estimated.

But Charlie Says Were
Just Good Friends to
Rumor MongerS.
BY DAN THOMAS
NEA Service Writer

HOLLYWOOD, Cal, March I'll
Will Georgia Hale become the next
Mrs. Charles Spencer Chaplin?
Perhaps, and then again perhaps
not. A few months ago Hollywood
was full of rumors to the effect that
Miss Hale would become the third
wife of the comedian. Both Charlie
and Georgia enphatically denied
all such stories.
But Georgia was the only girl
Chaplin would see during his re-
cent illness.
officials at the Chaplin studio
still deny that there is any chance
of the comedian and actress ever
becoming engaged, despite the fact
that Georgia spent many hours at
his bedside.
Wanted to See Georgia
Nobody was allowed to see
Charlie largely because he didn't
want to see anybody. But he did
want to see the girl who was his
leading lady in 'T'he Gold Rush"
And her chief concern since
Charlie was taken home from the
studio sick q few weeks ago has
been his welfare.
ITO say that we are engaged or
ever will be married is absolutely
unfair" declares Chaplin. 1--WE are
just good friends, nothing more
Maybe so-but then, even good
friends have been known to marry.
Pathetic in Illness
Charlie. known as one of the
lonesomest figures in the movie
hamlet, was almost pathetic in his
illness.
Alone in his hilltop mansion, he
saw nobody except Miss Hale, his
nurse, DR.. Cecil Reynolds, his physi-
clan and Alfred Reeve, his studio
manager.
Few people in Hollywood, sup
posedly his friends, even showed
sufficient interest to inquire about
his condition.
The only visible note Of concern
was on the part of newspaper re-
porters and his studio family
Fans are Anxious
Not so with his millions of fans
throughout the world, however. No
sooner had the wires broadcast the
news G. ais critical condition, than
letters, kilograms and cables started
pouring in by the thousands ex-
pressing regret and the hope that
he would soon recover.
Although he will not make any
reference to it, I think one of the
most discouraging incidents of
Charles entire illness was the fact
he never heard a word from his
former wife, Lita.
There wasn't even a wire saying
that his two small sons wished him
speedy recovery.

But after roundelay Of dis
cussion which handed left-handed
slaps at punishment by putting to
bed without suppers, soaring chill
dren by threatening them with
"bogeymen," cops, and dark clothes

want him whipping one Of my
youngun's. I can do that"
After mulling over the don't list,
some were suggested:
Use isolation from other children
for punishment.
Deprive them of the things they
desire, but do not actually need.
Use f1rmness of character in
furnishing child, whether it be
with a switch or another method.
If you switch, don't let it be be-
