YOUNGSTOWN, O.-The first
youth conference in the Metal in
dustry has just been held here
with 81 delegates representing
many shops in this district pres
ent. The main report was given
by Edith Briscoe who stated that
wages in many shops had fallen
from SIS to $40 a week to scarce
ly more than SIS. In many fac
tories all the married workers
have been fired and replaced by
the young workers whose wages
are cut mercilessly. Besides the
workers are the victims with lay
offs and speed-up never before
known.
The conference decided to estab-
lish a District Youth Committee
with Paul Carter at the head. This
Committee will be responsible for
section conferences and mass
meeting and for the distribution
of leaflets thruout the Cleveland

462 YOUNG WORKERS STUDYING
In LENINGRAD SHIPYARDS

In America young workers are
being killed for demanding bread
and Jobs. In the Soviet Union
young workers are being paid
while learning to get better jobs.
Take for instance the Baltic ship
building works at Leningrad.
There are at present 1852 Students
there. They have already had
seven vars of primary ducation. In
the factory school attached to the
ship-building works, they will
spend 2 years. Besides the tech
nical education they are taught So
cial sciences, geography, Russian
and foreign languages, mathemat-
les and other sciences. These STU
dents work alternate days in the
factory and in the school. The
training of these students is as

as is the building of the ships. In
the United States it is seldom that
the poor young workers get this
chance for advancement, and if
they do it is at the cost of priva-
ton of their families and them
selves. But here the students are
paid. The beginners get the equiv
alnt of $3.50 a month, those or
the second grade $3.50; the third
group $50 and the fourth $26.5O.
Besides special low prices are
charged them for food and cloth
ing. Those student-workers wlo
are studying in the heavy and
dangerous operations have 20 per
cent added TO their allowances and
all who show proficiency have
their allowances raised to $40 or
$50.

pated in the Flint strike in 1880.
And he fell fighting in the very
front ranks of the auto workers
who came to demand that he who
had been enriched by his workers
toll disgorge some of his booty to
keep these workers from starving.
Of the other dead we know as yet
little. But it is sufficient to say
that George Russell, only 16 years
old, and a member of the Young
Communist League, had the steel
ed courage to be in the front ranks
when the murderous hail of lead
sprayed the hunger march in De-
troit. The older worker killed was
Joe Debruske, a Daily Worker
newsboy.
1t is no accident that so many
young workers are being moved
Down by the capitalists. Always
the lowest PAID, the most exploit
ed because of their youth, the
young workers have been especial
ly hard hit by the crisis. Not only
are they fired, but they are refus-
ed the pittance of relief granted
to older workers because they are
not married. Yet in innumerable
cases these young workers must
support their families since the
parents have no Jobs.
Joe York was an example. His
father is a miner and so unable
to support his family of 6. Joe
was the family mainstay. And the
young workers with the will to
fight still unbroken are battling.
They will continue to battle in
spite of the terror and suppression
campaign instituted by the bosses.
The death of so many leading
elements leaves a large gap in
the ranks of the Young Commun-
lst League. And the League, the
only fighting organization of the
young workers appeals to all farm
and working youth and students
to fill the gap.

Detroit, Mich.-Of the four
workers killed by the guns of Hen
ry Ford, the worlds richest man,
three are young workers. Joe
York, 10 year old District Orga-
nicer of the Young Communist
League; Coleman Lery, 20 years
old, a Ford worker and George
Russell, only 16 years old and a
member of the Young Communist
League. This dastardly massacre
of peaceful workers who came to
ask for bread, for the right TO live,
will go down in history as a turn
ing point in the struggle of the
American workers. Met by armed
police who hurled tear gas bombs,
the workers swept on; then an
icy stream of water from fire
hoses hit them square in the face,
they did not turn. A battle of an
hour and a half was terminated
only when the barking machine
guns had killed four and wounded
over so. And all the hurts were
not on the side of the workers
either. The workers came without
guns, they did not come for war;
but when attacked they found
rocks, they found chunks of mud,
and they answered. 1t is this ans
wer which will go down into Am
erican labor history.
Joe York was a member of the
National Executive Committee of
the Young Communist League,
the second to die within a month,
Harry Simms having been muir
dered in Kentucky by Rockefeller
thugs. York, the son of an Ohio
miner, started to work in the
mines at the age of Is. In 1928
he left for Detroit, to taste of the
prosperity of the philanthropist
Ford. It was there he Joined the
Young Communist League only 2
years back. Several times he was
arrested for fighting the battles
of the workingclass. He partici-
