Vel CONVENTION
OPENS TONOR'W
Marks Turning Point
in Life of League

Tomorrow night at Central Opera
House, 9th Street and 3rd Avenue,
the Sixth Convention of the Young
Communist League will open. This
convention will mark a turning point
in the life of the League.
The League is not yet the leader
of broad masses of young workers.
This is not due alone to the weak
ness of the Young Communist League
and its failure as yet to make the
sharp turn that is required by the
sharpening economic situation and
the danger of war against the Sow
let Union. The failure of the League
is due in the main to the failure of
the Party to give direction TO the
work of the vel, to the under-e s-
timation of the YCL within the
ranks of the Party.
The YCL, however, is now emery
ing from it's isolation from the young
workers. The miners strike of Penn
sylvania Ohio and West Virginia
finds not only the young miners in
the forefront of the struggle, but the
YCL playing a leading part in the
mobilization of these miners. The
strikes that have taken place in all
parts of the country show splendid
nilitancy of the young workers
These young workers who are be-
ing exploited far more than the adult
workers, and especially the Negro
young workers, must not be allowed
to drift without leadership.
The capitalists do not under-es-
innate the role of the young work
ers. On the contrary, in the wage
cutting and speed-up program, they
figure chiefly upon the young work
ers for the putting through Of theif
program. In their preparations for
war against the Soviet Union. when
they declare that they can put an
army of 10000 900 men into the field
within "a hours they clearly have in
mind the young workers as the i'm
mediate cannon-fodder.
The convention of the YCL, there
| fore, is of tremendous significance
/ This convention is of Importance not
only to the YCL, but to the Party
All Party members must show then
appreciation to the role of the YCI
not only in attending the opening
session at Central Opera House, but
in the day to day work, in helping
/ the YCL to build itself up and &c
/ become the leader of the masses o.
young workers, under the politica
| guidance of the Party.

$1,000 Bail FOR
FOOD WORKER

After being kept in Jail for seven
days on frame-up charge of felon-
iouS assault preferred by the corrupt
officials of A. F. of L. local 1913, Louis
Mittelman. an active member of the
revolutionary Food Workers Indus
trial Union. was released yesterday
under $1,000 bail.
The case of Mittelman, who was
held without bail for the seven day
period, is typical of the methods be-
ing used by A. F. of L. labor takers
in their attempt to crush the re-
evolutionary food workers union. Al
though there is absolutely no evi-
dence linking him with an attack
on two officials of the A. F. of L.
local, Mittelman was taken from his
job and Jailed for week -Four
other members of the Food Work
ers Industrial Union, all miles away
from the scene of the attack. have
been arrested on the same charge
during the past few days.
The constant framed-up charges
being made against members of the
F. w. I. u by the gangsters in con-
troll of local 1913 are obviously in
tended to intimidate the members of
the Industrial Union, but the result
of the fake charges has been an
ever greater militancy on the part
of the members of the revolutionary
union
A mass meeting of all members OF
the Food Workers Industrial Union
will be held this Friday night at
$50 p. m. in Irving Plaza to unite
the forces of the membership against
the growing terrorization on the part
of the officials of the A. F. of L.

fenced to 80 days each. while Reese
and Young, two Negro workers, were
given five months each. The New
York District of the International
Labor Defense, which defended the
workers, is appealing these sentences.
Together with other members of
the Madison Square Unemployed
Council, the four workers went Tues
day to this racketeering employment
agency and forced Muller to return
$40 he had swindled out of another
worker for a job that didn't exist.
After paying back the money Muller
pulled out gun and started firing

Cortez were arrested and found
guilty on a charge of disorderly con-

over, Muller went outside and point

arrested. They were given even

statement has been issued today
by the Rank and File United Front
Committee of the Company union
on the fake election that is TO take
place tomorrow after the peace has
been patched up between the two
warning cliques. In this statement
the committee fully exposes the So
called impartial role of Roger Bald
win who has accepted the request
of the kaufman clique to supervise
the elections, in which every worker
who expressed his resentment
against the corrupt rule of the
cliques was taken off the ballot. The
statement cites the record of the
activities of the honest workers who
were taken off the ballot with the
consent of Baldwin under some
flimsy excuses. The Glitter speaks of
the miserable conditions forced upon
the furriers by the cliques who are
working hand in hand with the boss
es, and calls upon Roger Baldwin to
explain before the workers his role
and the role of the Civil Liberties
Union in acting as cloak to conceal
all the corrupt deals that are being
made between the choues at the ex-
pense of the fur workers. The state
ment proves that the officers have
already been determined and that
the election will be mere formality
and farce.

Hillmdn Joins Racketeers to
War on Left Wing Workers
Expel Harry Ebert for Activity to Better
Conditions in the Trade

NEW YORK. - Openly declaring
their abandonment of the general
strike and patching up a truce with
the Orlofsky- Beckerman racketeer
clique, the Hillman bureaucracy of
the Amalgamated Clothing Workers
has turned to savage reprisals against
against the left wing workers who
have called for a genuine general
strike against worsening conditions
in the shops.
Indicative of the new alliance be-
tween the racketeer Clique and Hill
man is a statement issued by Com
missioner Mulrooney after another
conference with ACW officials and
manufacturers, ostensibly to fight
racketeering in the trade.
THE gentlemen who were in to see
me had nothing to report except
what we already know" Mulrooney
said.

burocrats are trying to rivet their

In the face of the most brazen

the Amalgamated leaders are carry
