CLEVELAND, September II (P).-
Harry Volpe, found shot to death today
in Providence, r. l., was the Govern
nent's star witness in the investigation
of the Superior Industrial Alcohol Co.
here six years ago, the biggest liquor
conspiracy ever uncovered by Federal
officers at that time.
1t was Volpe a customer of the al
cohol company. who precipitated the
Governments roundup, which resulted
in a number of indictments in the Mid
die West
His story, according to Federal officers,
was that he was to have received 10000
gallons of alcohol under an arrange
ment that If 1t was seized by officers,
he was not to stand the loss. The liquor
was confiscated here and when Volpe
could not recover his loss, he believed he
had been double crossed.
Although he said many threats had
been made against his life il he talked,
he went to former United States District
Attorney A. E. Bernstein and told of
the alcohol ring. The ring was smashed
and l12 persons were indicted, including
Volpe here and in other cities. Volpe,
however, as the Governments star wit
ness, served only an hour in custody of
the United States marshal.
At one time in the investigation he
failed to identify principal, but later
made the Identification. II had the
fear of vengeance put into me, and
that's why didn't pick him out the

Anthracite Miners Issue a Call tor
a Tri-District Unity Conference

WILKES BARRE, Pa, Sept. Conditions in
" the anthracite have become intolerable.
Over $4,000 miners are permanently unemployed
and rs per cent work only part time.
Since the So year slave contract signed by
the U. M. w. A. officials, j. L, Lewis, Boylan,
Hartneady and Brennan with the coal operators,
the wages have been reduced more than 40 per
cent and working conditions are becoming worse
daily. Machinery and speed-up systems have
been introduced in the mines and the miners
are forced to load more coal for less pay. The
tonnage and yardage rates have been reduced.
In most mines the bosses do not pay any more
for dead work. Many miners are working for
as low as So day. In many mines Stanton,
Truesdale Bliss and others, the miners are re-
ceiving only So and SO pay for two weeks.
The miners are beginning to learn that the
U. M. w. A. officials are with the coal operators
and work for a common program to slash wages
as low as possible and force the miners to live
in misery and starvation. In the first six months
of 1881 over $4,000 miners struck against cut
ting of wages and worsening conditions. But
every strike small or large was smashed and
betrayed either by the U. M. w. A. officials or
by the so-caled progressiyNes. Maloney Tom

Alden Coal Co. struck against wage-cuts,

breakers Lewis and Boylan, could not break the
strike. The miners did not listen TO them when
they told them that the strike sis illegal and in
violation of the agreement with 'the UNIV

youth in Industry"

The celebration Of International Youth Day
on September 8, should serve to stimulate in
terest on the part of young and adult workers
alike in the tremendous role the workers chill
dren play in the economic problems and Strug-
giles which confront the working class AS yet,
too few workers know this.
True that hundreds of thousands of workers
in the United States know that their children
suffer various diseases which are due to under
nourishment But, how many know. for in
stance, that in this richest country in the world
nearly one and half million of children do not
attend school at all for lack of f5od and cloth
ing? That, according to Hoovers admission, six
million children are Improperly nourished? One
million have weak hearts? And nearly half
million are tubercular?
Not many workers know these facts because
they had not been accessible. But recently
Grace Hutchins of the Labor Research Associa-
ton gathered all important facts dealing with
the youth problem and put them into PAM
phlet called Youth in Industry, from which the
above figures are quoted.
In this pamphlet we also find, for instance,
that five million boys and girls below the age
of 10 work in fields, factories and mines. Many
thousands of them working IL hours day at
the age of 8.
To show how this accounts for millions Of
adult workers being out OF jobs, the writer of
the pamphlet quotes this statement:
Personal managers in auto plants state
frankly that their policy is to hire workers as
young as the law allows and to use them for
eight or ten years during the period of their
msot vigorous productivity" And points out
further that for this alth-breaking exploita-
ton the workers get very little pay: the great
phianthropist" Ford employing IL year old boys
at Is cents an hour, or Sc a week, and other
Detroit industries beat even that by advertising
for apprentice boys to learn electric motor work,
pay for three months"
Many industries do not bother about the law,
we are told in the pamphlet, and employ thou
sands of children who in Is states, pun
ished by not being entitled to compensation
when injured on the job-because they are il
legally employed
These millions of exploited, under paid chill
dren are fore I'd to work on jobs from which men
and women are fired. To cope with the stu
alton we must know the facts involved. And
the pamphlet youth In Industry" will be OF
great help to workers who want to arm them
selves with pointed information.
Youth In Industry is one Of the 10 cent In
ternational Pamphlets. 1t should be distrib-
uted among great numbers of workeDs on and
before International Youth Day, September 8.

By WILLIAM L. PATTERSON.

THE 18th Anniversary of International Youth
L Day will be celebrated Sept. 8. This day,
which arose out of the struggle of the revolu-
tionary working-class youth against imperialist
war will be celebrated by the revolutionary
youth at a moment when the danger of i'm
peralist war was never greater. The call of the
revolutionary youth must, therefore, be more far
reaching now than ever before. Let there be no
illusions. The call for revolutionary struggle
against war is call for struggle against a war,
the shadow of which forms the background for
the gigantic economic struggles engulfing the
capitalist world
These struggles for control of markets and
of sources of raw materials have thrown millions
of workers into the ranks of the unemployed.
Millions of young workers face death by starva-
ton while before their very eyes the bloated
lords of finance capitalism lock the doors of
warehouses bursting with grain. The starving
millions have no intention of dying without
waging a desperate struggle world revolu-
tionary leadership has developed which reveals
to the working class a working-class way of
escape from the crisis. The economic struggles
of the bosses will be transformed by them into
armed imperiast conflicts in the face of this
threat of revolution.
Revolutionary Youth Day has enormously
widened its scope Arising out of struggle against
imrerialst war, which had already convulsed
most of Europe, it has developed into day for
celebrating the continuous struggles of the youth
against all of the forces generating the war al
most upon us; against mass unemployment,
wagecuts, all forms of capitalist naturalization
The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1931-09-08

which have drawn the youth in ever greater
numbers into industry and subjected them to
the most intense exploitation. 1t has developed
into day for celebrating the rising wave of
struggle against the brutal enslavement of the
colonial youth and of the young Negro toilers.
Youth Day of Tremendous Importance
to Negro Youth.
The celebration of the 18th Anniversary of
International Youth Day has tremendous sig
nificance for the Negro youth. If the rect
exploited and oppressed section of the working
class is the youth, the most exploited and op-
pressed section of the youth is the Negro youth.
Its wages are lower than those of the young
white workers. Its hours of labor are longer
It's work is the dirtieSt and hardest, and plus
the economic exploitation it suffers as a part
of the working youth, it suffers as well all of
the national oppression which American capital
ism has made the lot of the Negro-Jirn- Crow
ism, segregation, discrimination, mob violence
and lynch terror. The first intensifies the Sec
ond and is in turn intensified by it. At the
same time the standard of living to which the
Negro youth is driven becomes the low level
toward which the bosses are constantly driving
the entire working class.
