THE Executive Committee OF the Communist
l International, having gone into the question
of the Right Opposition in the Lithuanian labor
movement of the United States, is compelled to
state that at a time when unemployment is
growing in the United States which brings I'M
told suffering to the working class, when the
class struggle is sharpening between capital and
labor. when working class solidarity is essential
under the leadership of the Communist Party
of the U. S. A. Pruseka and his followers are
attacking the leadership Of the Communist Party
and trying to divest the Party from control of
the newspapers, Laisve and Wins, to prevent the
pursuance of a correct class line in these organs.
Pruseika and his followers having at first con-
sented to have all contentious questions settled
by the Comintern have subsequently changed
their minds and actually formed a bloc with
such pronounced enemies of the working class as
Butkus. The only inference ECCI can make is
that Pruseika and his followers are captivating
in a cowardly fashion before the offensive of the
bourgeoisie, that they are breaking loose from
the Communist Party and the Comintern and

More Re-AdmissiOns Into the
Communist Party

Upon recommendations of New York District
Control Commission Tania Kean, Anna Mem
ser and Clara Meltzer have been readmitted into
tho Communist Party of the USA.
Tania Kean submitted statement to the
effect that during the first six months after her
expulsion Gin 1920 she had been an active Love-
stonete participated in the splitting of Harlem
Tenants League and of an lid branch: that
afterwards she began to see the wrong line of
the Lovestone group and to recognize her pre-
vious stand and activities, pledges herself to
help the Party to fight all enemies, including
the opportunist and counter-revolutionary Love-
stone group, realizes that the Comintern and
the Central Committee of the Party were and
are correct, and asks, through re-admission to
be given chance to prove her loyalty to the
Cornintern, to the Party and to the Communist
movement in general
Anna Nemser stated that she realized her
error in voting for an expelled Lovestoneite in
an LID meeting but that she had never been
connected with the Lovestone group otherwise
that she had continued to work in fraternal
organizations supporting the Party line, and
that she recognizes the Lovestoneites as enemies.
Clara Matter, needle worker, who had par
ticipated actively in the dress strike in full
support of the line of the Party and of the
Needle Trades Workers Industrial Union (was
arrested in the course of her activities, stated
that she had entirely ASSOCIATED herself from
the Lovestone group of renegades for over a
year, and that she considers them now as en-
emies OF the Party who are trying to denloralzc
the ranks of the working class

A Good Idea

While just few steps away are some Of the
most crowded tenements, streets full Of workers
kids trying to play among the traffic.
Which is recalled to us by the comrades who
are going to establish a Neighborhood Paper
there, along with some kind OF neighborhood
meeting place And that's rafting good idea,
providing that the Neighborhood Paper really
deals with the neighborhood- forgetting tbs
factories scattered around in it.
To launch this ambitious venture, there is
blowout entertainment and what not, at Man.
haitian Lyceum, this Friday night, May 8, given
by Unit 1, Section 2. The comrades say that
this is the first real neighborhood paper ever
attempted. We are not sure of that There have
been some mimeographed neighborhood papers,
but this, they say, will be real, sure-enough
printed paper.
A great deal of good may be done by such
work. But only if some real organization re-
suits. Think, for instance, what can be done
to organize tenants to fight for lower rents. The
rent hogs have held rents up outrageously A
solid organization, house by house or by blocks,
would soon make some of these bandits back
water.
And there are the factories with Shop Com
mittees to form in every one. Organization must
be the watchword. The Neighborhood Paper
can help that; the paper must not be an end
in itself, but only the means But it's a goo6
idea, and that's why we pass it along.

the Revolutionary Workers

are endeavoring to take with them as many
Lithuanian workers as possible, preparing there
by their complete transition to the camp of the

Taking this into account the ECCI calls all
honest class conscious Lithuanian workers, eSpe-
cially those who were mislead by the demagogy
of Pruseika and others but who want to be on
the side of the class struggle and the Commu-
mist movement to break once and for all with
Pruseika and Illustrate, as this was done by the
shareholders of Laisve the attempt of the board
of directors of Wins to tear the paper out of
the hands Of the revolutionary workers.
ECCI calls upon the Lithuanian workers to
reply to the capitalist offensive and the attack
Of the renegades by rallying still firner around
the Communist Party of the u. S. A. and to
carry on under its leadership together with the
workers of all nationalites, self sacrificing
struggle for the complete liberation of the work

PRE- CONVENTION DISCUSSION
YOUNG COMMUNIST LEAGUE, u. S. A.


ergetically enough for May Day May Day was
not looked upon as a mobizer and rehearsal
for N.Y.D. One was placed as against the other
The districts reported also very little help from
the Party for N.YD. Very little was done to
involve the children in NYD. The districts
while reporting great enthusiasm and spirit
among the mmebers for N.YD. had not taken
the proper steps to generate this enthusiasm
into concrete work. Cleveland and Pittsburgh
had not even settled the problem of transporta-
ton The Cleveland comrades also failed to
make the necessary technical preparations at
Youngstown for housing and providing for the
large number of participants Nothing was done
for publicity especially in capitalist press.
The conference hit all of these shortcomings
and decided on a number of concrete motions as
the first steps to change the character of the
preparations for National Youth Day.
l. That one comrade from Cleveland and one
comrade from Detroit Immediately be sent to
Youngstown as Shock Troop until N.Y.D.
3 That the Pittsburgh District be responsible
for drawing the National Miners Union and the
Metal Workers Industrial League into the prep
arations for National Youth Day.
3. That the Detroit District draw the Auto
Workers Union into the preparations for NYD
4. That every district buro at the next meet
ing hold special discussion on the special is
sues and demands in at least one opponent or
ganization that they are stormng.
5. That the Cleveland District at the next
buro hold a discussion on the immediate partial
youth demands for certain large steel mills in
Youngstown. That at this meeting they also
take up the special youth issues among the I'M
employed and also in the various opponent Or
CARNATIONS of Youngstown.
g. That every district hold special confer
ence of adults to draw the various children or
CARNATIONS into NYD.
Z. That every district select a leading COM
rade to handle all publicity for press and that
the comrade in Cleveland be the central COM
rade in charge of publicity for Youngstown
meet
g. That every district place comrade in
charge of arrangements for program
g. That Cleveland Labor Sports Union be
responsible for Spartakiade examinations and i'm
medately work out the events for May 31st, to-
gether with Pittsburgh and Detroit
10. That every League unit in the four dis
tricts be responsible for taking with them to
Youngstown a group of unemployed youth either
from unemployed council, factory line, neighbor-
hood or flop house.
II. That every district include in their NYD
committees number of Party comrades who
will be responsible to help draw the Party into
the preparations for this day.
IL. That NYD rallies be held in all cities
either before or at the time of departure of the
or trucks for Youngstown. This especially
to take place in Detroit and Cleveland
IS. That another conference of District Or
ganizers be held just prior to National Youth
Day, SO as to check up on the last minute ar
rangements and safeguard the proper carrying
out Of all decisions.

REVIEW

So. st. Paul, Feb. 28.-(AP-U. s. D.
A.)-Early losses in the cattle division
were recovered on what might be
termed as a series Of starvation runs
after midweek, however, general un-
dertone Of the market Is still quite
bearish. Shortfeds made up prac-
tically the entire steer crop, these
selling at 600 to $50 mostly, q few
heavy steers reaching $50, the weeks
carlot top. Beef cows finished at
3.75 to ATS largely. butcher heifers
500 to 500, yearlings to $50. Cut
tiers closed at 2.75 to gas, bulls $50
to 3.75, vealers on a so break Wind
ing up at $50 to 900 for good and
choice grades.
The preference Of buyers for r-iedi-
UNI and heavyweight butcher hogs
over light offerings narrowed the
price spread In this division consider
ably this week. Better $50 to around
200 ID. hogs sold at 6.85 to Cos, BUTCH
ers scaling 200 to around $50 lbs. going
at $50 to 6.85, while heavy weights
sold on down to Gas. Packing sows
turned large at 5.25 to $50, pigs clos
ing at 100 OF 50 under last week.
Fat lamb values showed little
change for the period, desirable ma
tives closing at 500, fed westerns be-

WHEAT PRICES HIT
LOWEST LEVEL ON
! RECORD This YEAR
Confronted BY Prediction Of
Big Deliveries On March
Contracts Monday

Chicago, Feb. 28.-R-Confronted
by predictions of big deliveries Of
wheat Monday on Chicago March
contracts. wheat fell Saturday to the
lowest prices yet lin 1881. The mar
ket was affected also by indications
that foreigners were considerably up
set owe the fact that export wheat
from the United States would here
after compete with wheat from other
countries. The influence of weak
ness of European markets wa accen-
tuated, too. by widespread beneficial
moisture through western sections OF

storms coming eastward.

More thai; a foot of snow received
in parts of Kansas had an especial
~ bearish effect on wheat, as In
dicative of an improved outlook for
the 1881 domestic crop. Bears made
much also of assertions that aside
from the IS, O0O, 900 bushels which the
grain Sterilization corporation pro-
posed to sell abroad during the next
four months, there vas altogether too
much domestic wheat on hand for
home use. It was contended that If
this wheat were held until demand
overlook the supply, the carrying
charges would increase the burden,
and apparently necessitate enhance
ment of values to a point where a
world wide crop disaster would be
requisite to wipe out losses incurred.
Corn selling induced by breaks in
wheat and by large arrivals Of corn
in Chicago carried corn down to a
new low-price record for the season.
