By FRANK BAILY.


ONCE the establishment of the Young Pion-
GERS, they have become vital thing in the
life of the American left wing movement.
Then its main purpose was to bring the work
ers' children closer to the workers and to
bring them in their battles. Now the Pioneers
are even more important because they are
much more in number than before and they
participate in all of the affairs of the revolu-
tionary workers, tag days, picket lines, mass
meetings and organize and fight for the cor
ditions of the workers children in the schools,
on the public Fairgrounds, etc. The Young
Pioneers also tell the workers children the
real truth about the capitalist schools and
the bunk taught in them
Importance Little Felt.
Despite this importance Ct the Young Pion-
GERS to the left wing movement, the members
of the Party and Young Communist League
do not fully realize its Importance. In the
past the Pioneers have been forced to shift
mainly for themselves. This has had de-
grading effect upon the organization and it
has suffered because of this. There are
large number of Party members who have
children the age of Pioneers and who keep
them out of the organization because of their
personal beliefs. Some give the reason that
they do not think the Pioneers the perfect
organization for workers. children. If the
Young Pioneers is not the fit organization for
the children of these Party members then let
these comrades send their children in to fix
the defects in the organization.
Others say that they want their children to
get chance to think for themselves what
side of the question to take. For a child OF
a revolutionary worker there is only one
course to take. That of the workers. In the
schools the workers children attend, there are
so many bourgeois influences acting upon the
child to make him go against himself, against
the workers. If the worker wants to have his
child go against himself he only has to leave
him to the influence of the capitalist schools
On the contrary, if the worker wants his child
to be with him he must send him to a revc
lutionary childrens organization, which shows

than half of the american cotton crop
is manufactured int foreign mills.
A summary by the textile division Of

how conditions in EAlrope brought de-

by the prevalence of mild weather, the
increase is not as marked in extent as
Is customary at this period Of the year.
Hardware Age Gays.
Wholesalers as well Is retailers seem
to have adopted a policy of cautious
buying as a result. Market centers de-
pending largely upon farming sections
seem to be in better shape than most
urban market territories. For this res-
son the South, Middle West and North
west sections are reporting more actiy-
ity than Eastern markets, so far as
hardware is concerned.
Gradual Improvement is indicated and
the low point Is generally conceded
to have been passed, although the up
turn Is not yet pronounced.
Prices are essentially unchanged and
remarkably stable In view Of the gen.
eral situation. Collections retain fairly

TAX|MAN FINED
AS SPEEDER

The life of driver for the
Thirty-five Cent Cab Company
is no bed of roses, according to
James C. Arthur, colored, who un-
successfully. attempted today to
alibi charges of reckless driving,
driving on a one-day street, and
on false tags, before Judge John
P. Mcmahon, Of the Traffic
Court. Arthur explained:
II don't know why I done it,
judge. / been driving 13 years
an daint never been in court
before. / had been driving all
night and was kind Of tired,
I lost my jedgment.''
Sergeant Saunders and Police
man Scoville said Arthur hit so
miles an hour. When he saw
them behind him.
AS the hacker slowed down for
a turn to 40, his passenger
jumped out the cab and run.
Finally Arthur himself jumped
out and ran, but yesterday he
came to the. Traffic Bureau and
gave up. ~
He was fined a total of $50
on the three charges.

PISTOL LICENSE
BILL CALLED

The Zihlman bill, now on the
House calendar, providing that
no one may purchase a pistol
or revolver in the District without
a license approved by the super
intendent of police, was attacked
today by Charles v. INLAY, mem
ber of the National Conference
of Commissioners on Uniform
State Laws.
INLAY contends that this legts-
lation would inconvenience the
law-abiding citizen and would be
evaded by the pistol-toting crimi-
nal.
Regarding the bill. which has
been endorsed by the District
Commissioners and the, police de-
partment, INLAY said:
"It would merely have the
effect of making it difficult
for a IaW-abiding citizen to
buy a revolver here and would
not be Obeyed by the criminal.
Very few States attempt to
license purchases of firearms.
For a long time New York
stood alone ON that policy. 1t
has been followed in recent
years by Massachusetts and
Michigan"
The pistol bill is expected to
come UP in the House next week
along with others on the District
of Columbia calendar.
House leaders have agreed to
give the District a day on next
Monday unless other legislative
matters take precedence because
of emergencies now unforeseen.
