The TU.UL. through its special youth de-
partment and the Auto Workers Union are
aware of the fact that in the auto industry
have a tremendous boiling pot of discomfort
which will explode and burst out any minute
in a wide strike movement in which the young
workers will undoubtedly play leading role,
as was seen in the recent Flint auto strike of
5000 auto workers. where the youth were most
militant in the battles with the state troopers,
National Guard, Chicago gangsters and local
police
In order to lay the basis for real effective
work among the young auto workers. the Auto
Workers Union and the TU.U.L. Youth De-
partment have decided to call an auto youth
conference Saturday. September 6, at p. m.,
at the Trade Union Center, 1854 Woodward
Avenue. corner Warren, Rooms HIP. The basis
of this auto youth conference will be real bona
fl le youth auto delegates from the shops, as
well as delegates representing the unemployed
auto youth. All youth organizations, clubs,
Labor Sports Union organizations are asked to
send two fraternal delegates.
The Auto Youth Conference an Organiza-
tional Measure.
The auto youth conference is being called
with the perspective of developing and organ
ling real struggles in the auto industry. The
conference is not an enl in itself, but merely
. means of laying the basis for organizing this
oivad movement of rising discomfort. The con-
ference will mean nothing if it is not followed
up with tedious, systematic, routine, every
day organizational work in the shops among
the young workers. This conference will lay
the basis for the formation of real youth Sec
tions in the existing shop locals of the Auto
Workers Union such as Fords, Briggs. La
Young, Chrysler, Fisher Body, Hudson, etc.
The T.U.U.L Youth Department and the
Youth Committee Of the union are concentrat-
ing on the most important shops where pre-
Vlous organlzatlonal work has been done with
the definite organizational objective of forming
groups of young workers in the various depart
ments to he represented at this conference A
series of shop-gate and organzational youth
meetings are being held and many more are
pIannel. Every shop that has been chosen as
a concentration shop will be covered twice a
week with shop-gate meetings. Youth shops in
Flint. Pontiac. Muskegon, Cleveland etc., are
being taken into consideration in the PLAN
These struggles in the auto industry must
be systematically prepared consciously by
means of preparatory work. This can and
VIII be done only if we correctly approach the
young workers simply on their specific youth
Issues and grievances, and show them that
only through organization and fight can they
better their conditions. However, we cannot
organize the workers merely by shop gate
meetings on the outside, but must properly
coordinate and supplement this with constant
hanme ing away the insi lie of the shops
through personal agitation and personal con-
nections. The whole campaign for the auto
youth conference must be conducted on the
BASIS OF their youth grievances under the gem
erai poll zeal slogan of "Organize to strike
aTtlnri w@ye-"uts ard speed-up!", at the same
tire RI trir. ne the slogan of social insur
ance for the young workers to the foreground
