War that was in the interest of
the bosses, and showed the work
ers that their enenax was not the
workers in the other countries, but
the bosses. Because he organized
mass meetings and demonstrations
against war, Comrade Ruthenberg,
after a long trial in the capitalist
courts, was sent to Jail. Many
years of his life were spent In
prison as a result of his activities
in fighting for the working-class.
Comrade RUthenberg's entire life
was devoted to this task. It is
the duty of every workers and
farmers child to teach TO other
children the ideas for which he
fought. We must win all these
children to STAND READY FOR

How maGy of you comrades
have heard your parents speak
about Charles E. RuthenbergT II
you have not, then you'll want to
learn all about this man who was
the leader of the workers in the
United States until he died March
2, 1927.
Comrade Ruthenberg was born
of working-class parents in Ohio
in 1882. His father was a long
shCreman, and Charles had to- go
to work to help the family when
he was very young. He worked
In factory, was a clerk, a news
paper correspondent, and finally
gave UP all his time and energy
to build the workingclass move
ment.
He was one of the leaders of the
Socialist Party, but when that
Party began TO betray the work
ers, Ruthenberg, with many work
ers, left the Socialist Party, and
formed the Communist Party-the
only party that really fights to
free the workingclass.
He soon became the leader OF
this only workers party. One Of
the greatest fights he led was
against WAR. He called upon thu

In EVERY FARM COMMUNITY

One of the things that the youth
on the farm lacks is a proper
chance for recreation. While in
the city there is always some sort
of sports organization and some
facilities on the farm there is next
to nothing. Therefore the task of
the youth is to struggle to get the
chance for recreation and play
that the capitalist system denies
to them.
It is possible for the youth IN
the farming regions to gain sports
facilities such as ball fields, gym
nasiums in all the schools for the
use of the young farmers, etc. The
youth can WIN these demands thru
organization into their own orga-
nizations, into the Labor Sports
Union, the United Farmers Lea
que, Young Pioneers, and the
Young Communist League. Wher
they show their determination Il
struggle and to win over the
greatest possible numbers of young
workers and farmers into theil

THE LABOR SPORTS UNION
STANDS FOR CLEAN SPORT!

The motto of most of the bosses
sports organizations both amateur
and professional is Anything to
Win" This means that the play
ers are encouraged to crooked
play, TO all sorts of rough stunts
as well as to bribery (this espe-
cially in the boxing racket. The
idea with them is to build a repu-
tatiin especially for one or two
star players so as to cash in on
the large crowds of Bench Ath-
letes" who are interested in sports.
This does not encourage good
craftsmanship or comradeship a.
mong athletes.
The Labor Sports Union stands
for clean play, against starring
individuals and against corruption
and racketeering in sports. The
Red Sportsmen is a real amateur
who is willing to lose gamely as
well as to win. He plays a clean
game against any opponent en-
couraging teamwork and comrade.
ship. We are against making a
star of any one person because we
want to develop mass sports fol
all workers and farmers and not g
show for spectators.
There have been a few instance:
lately in the basket ball games
where the players showed these
wrong tendencies that develop
from bosses sports. Rough play
ing, charging and all unsportsman
like conduct must be wiped out
Referees must be more strict oil
fouling. The players can TAX
this responsibility on themselve
and set an example of what tn
word "Red Sport" means. Ever,
member of the LSU must be
real Red Sport.

Comrade Janis Salisbury. It came
so suddenly. We can hardly be-

Janis as a healthy, cheerful, mill

tive farms, is not to be tnlerated.
The Congress considers, therefore,
that a profound revision of the
whole organizational structure eff
the collective farm cooperative
system should not be delayed. For
this purpose it is necessary:
a. That the functions of lead
ership of all the collective farms
In production and in organization
| (cadres, labor and machine prga-
nization) in any given district
should be concentrated in a single
district collective-faTm cooperative
The functions of serving and guild
ing the productions activities on the
individual farms and among the
simple forms of association. as
well as the functions of provision
ing farms of all kinds, should be
concentrated in the district agri-
cultural cooperative. The carry
ing out of these measures should
be begun with those regions and
districts in which there is a con-
siderable degree of collectivization
b. That the intermediary dis.
trict links in the coIIective-farm
cooperative system should be Ii.
quidated; and that its lower links
should be decidedly strengthened.
c. That the number Of specia
centers should be revised and spe-
cialized centers maintained only

ture.

Substantially that" replied
the witness.
These plunderers who acquire
the land bank bonds at deprecated
prices thru money received as the
result of selling out hundreds of
farmers, are opposed to letting
any farmer do the same thing, ev-
en- if he could. The reason is
that the land banks must have 80
per cent of normal interest ma
turtles in order to meet their
bonds that is, to meet the de-
mands of the capitalist class
whom these bankers represent.
Otherwise the banks would be in
a position where they could go
into receivership." The banks,
that is, the capitalist investors,
must be saved from the effects OF
a receivership, but the farmers
are sold out regularly when they
cannot need the demands of these
robbers.
According to Blair, at is moi
the general practice of the joint
stock land bank to deal over
harshly with the farm borrowers.
This means only that the banks
will carry the farmers along Al
long as they can get anything out
of him. When there is no Longer
a chance to plumber him further
then they foreclose.

vidual economy, which in num-
Der of sections of the country will
continue to exist fer a compare
lively long period Of time.
The establishment of correct
attitude toward individual econo-
my which can subsequently facil1-
tate collectivizatfon, is to large
measure q question of the rela-
lions between the collective farm
members and the individual peas
ants. The strained relations which
/ arose in the spring of this year in
a number of localities as a result
of Withdrawals of many from the
collective farms and the struggle
of the most active collective farm
members, loyal to the cause of col
lectivization, to preserve the col
lectives, are hindrance to furth-
er collectivization. The Congress,
therefore, lays on every Party or
ganization the duty of seeing to
it that the relations between the
collective farm members and the
individual peasants are based on
the slogan: do not hound the indi.
vidual peasants but render them
all possible aid and in every way
induce them to join the collective
farms.
The Congress categorically con
dennis the not infrequent cases il
which the cooperative forms of or
ganization of the individual poo
and middle peasants are ignored
This type Of development is one O
, the most important conditions TO
