BATTLESHIP TO
TOW WILKINS
HELPLESS SUB
Motors Disabled, Nautilus
Pitches and Rolls in
Mid-AtIantic.

BIZ United Press
ABOARD, STEAMSHIP INDIE
PENDENCE HALL, AT SEA, June
15.-Its engines disabled the sub
marine Nautilus, on the first stage
of its projected cruise under the ice
to the north pole, pitched and rolled
helplessly in nlid-Atlantic today be-
fore it was taken IN tow.
The underwater craft. carrying
an expedition headed by Sir Hubert
wilkins, called for aid and the
United States battlesflip Wyoming,
responding took the Nautilus in
tow for Queenstown, Ireland. The
Wyoming was moving at five knots
an hour.
The submarine had wallowed In
heavy seas which at first defeated
efforts to send tow line over. The
storm center had passed, however,
when the battlesl1ips Wyoming and
Arkansas arrived some hours after
the independence Hall answered the
Nautilus call.
Efforts Prove Dangerous
Admiral C. c. Block, aboard the
Arkansas, designated the Wyoming
to take the submarine to Queens
town, about 1000 miles away. The
Independence Hall, on its way from
New York to Bordeaux, France,
previously had attempted to take
the submarine in tow, but the
weather was too rough and the
efforts we're futile and dangerous.
The Nautilus starboard engine and
port motor are disabled.
The engine and motor trouble
make it impossible to charge
batteries and the submarines plight
was serious.
Two Thirds Across
The Nautilus left Prcvincetown,
Mass, for England, and had covered
approximately two thirds of the
distance across the Atlantic in ten
days when the n1ishap occurred.
The fact that the submarine was
in the direct transatlantic shipping
lanes, about 200 miles north of the
Azores, is believed fortunate, for
otherwise it could have been lost for
days without being found, or longer.
It's batteries we're so weak that its
signals scarcely were audible toward
the end of its appeals for aid.

The Young Worker IN
Our Daily Struggle

radcs, we can find In the Chamber
of Commerce magazines plenty tn
write about certain factories and use
this as means of coming to tine
young workers in these factories. In
some cases we can carry a head1ins
about the profits or anything else
in order to attract the workers in
the particular place we are interested
In. The results are obvious.
Now take The youth organizations.
we find not even in the organiza-
tons we control do we carry the do
tl1gs of these organizations, with the
exception of the IlSU sport page. At
the same time we expect these or
CARNATIONS to make the Young
Worker their organ. The comrades
in charge Of these organizations must
make up news items about all their
meetings and everything else they
plan for the Young Worker and see
to it that they are sold among the
members ard even make the mem
hers sell the Young Workers. In
other youth organizations where we
! have no forces, we can dse their
magazines or make the units respon-
sible for getting of material from
special places. In our house to houss
sale, the comrades must remember
that they are not only out to sell
the paper, but at the same time in
terested in the conditions of the
young workers they happen to meet.
In this way We can get contacts for
the League. -, One shortcon1ing we
must note in the Young Worker
that it hardly ever carries news abol
any legislative action TO use som
bills effecting the youth to make =
big issue and attract the youth
One more field that we have never
tried is the sale of the Young Worker
in parks and play grounds. Especially
during the summer, we find many
young worker teams in these parks
and the cor'-ades must be assigned
to go or. there and sell the Young
Worker.
In this way We can reach many
young workers and teams belonging
to opponent organizations and begin
to do some opponent work. We can
also use the Young worker for dis
cussion circles and classes. I believe
1t would be great help to many of
our comrades to discuss the Young
Worker at some special meeting and
make proposals on how to improve
5i-n Young Worker.
Some time ago we spoke about cor
respondence classes. I believe now
is the time to establish such circles.
II we expect our comrades to become
news reporters for the paper.
The coming National Convention
must take up the Young Worker in
the light of changing 1t To become
an organ that will carry all the
news OF, the youth and in this way
make the paper mass youth paper.

Nv &. Davis.

The agricultural work in California
generally is in its very beginning anc
more so is specific youth work. Ii
spite of the fact that the comrades
in California have recorded a youth
organizer in the field, since about
August, 1880, actually that organizer
had no more to do with youth work
than any other Party organizer, This
was mainly due to the incorrect ap-
proach on the part Of the former
Party leadership towards youth work
in general, and to the failure Of the
League leadership to fight that
League comrades are to do youth
work.
The District never analysed the
shortcomings in our work, and until
very recently has never even at
tempted to draw up a set of youth
demands in the agricultural fields.
This failure to orientate our youth
organizers to youth work is shown in
the article by Conlrade A. Brown on
the work among the agricultural
young workers.
The young workers in the agricul-
tural regions, while not facing the
exact discrimination in the form Of
wages as some of the young work
ers in the factories, however have
specific youth issues. It is correct
that due to the fact that the pre-
vailing system is piece-work, the
young workers make perhaps in
wages even more than the adult
workers. Such an approach, how
ever, is absolutely incorrect and also
fails to see that many of these young
workers, instead of developing physi-
cally, are compelled to slave under
the most unbearable conditions, even
though they make a few more cents.
Then We certainly have the general
struggle for higher wages, since the
prevailing rate Of wages in the agri-
cultural regions is now between 25
and 30 cents per hour. The same ap-
pllbS W lllt guGoJlUAl VI 4ONCl MUS
The next problem, as pointed out
by Comrade Brown, are the sport
and social facilities for the young
workers in the field. Certainly on
the basis of the demand for better
sport facilities supplied by the bosses
and administered by committees of
the workers in the field, We can rally
many young workers to fight.
An important problem We are
facing IN our work in the agricul-
tural regions is the struggle for de-
naands also for the children. We find
that in certain regions the schools
are closed. not on The basis Of GER
tain set term, but on the basis of the
needs of the respective crops in the
particular regions.
We must Immediately begin rally
ing the children and their parents
The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1931-05-18
Work Among California
Agricultural Workers

around the question OF minimum
period Of schooling, coupled with the
demand of maintenance of the chill
dren during the period of the school
BY the city and county authorities
Another problem confronting many
Of the children and their parents is
the fact that, due to The rotation Of
crops, many of the families are com
PEELED to travel from one place to
another, naturally preventing the
children from attending any of the
schools. It is especially in these cir
cunlstances that we must begin rally
ing the agricultural workers around
the demands for maintenance of the
children at the expense of the state,
during the school period, and where
the parents live at distance from
the school also free transportation
facilities for these children.
1t is my opinion that the article
Of A. Brown fails completely to have
the perspective of building the A.
w. I. L. and naturally the youth
sections and youth committees,
through struggles, and especially the
fight for these specific youth de-
mands. We must within the nearest
future, at a conference of the agri-
cultural workers, work out specific
youth demands, based upon the ex-
perience of these workers in the
fields and in their contact with the
workers in the field Only by strug-
Cling for the specific youth demands,
and touching these problems, will we
win the agricultural youth to the
A. w. I. L. and for the Y. c. L.
While the lack of youth literature
is certainly hindering the work to
a certain extent it is my opinion
that it cannot be made the main
reason for our failures so far to Or
ganize the young workers. The ar
ticle also has a tendency to limit
the entire activity of the A. w. 1.
L. among the young workers for the
present at least to educating the
agricultural young workers" This
tendency is absolutely wrong and
must be combatted very sharply. Our
aim must be primarily to educate
these young workers in the agricul-
tural regions, just as well as all other
workers, through actual participa-
ton in the class struggle, naturally
not giving up other means of educa-
ton, such as lehets, the Young
Worker and pamphlets.
/ believe the comrades in the other
agricultural regions must also con-
tribute their experiences in this pre-
plenum discussion, so that we can
come to our convention and for the
first time really discuss seriously the
work among the agricultural young
workers and also work out a pro-
gram for work and series of de-
mands.
