RED PEP TROOP
COYOTES AND
WEASELS
By ELLEN H.

The Pioneers in Belden, North
Dakota, have not had many doings
or meetings because we live so
far apart and it has been hard for
US to get together more often. But
now with the beginning Of the
New Year we have reorganized
our Pioneers on an entirely new
basis which viii make it possible
for US to carry on activity much
better. The group is now called
the Red Pep Troop. 1t is divided
into two squads. The one squad is
called the Coyotes, their leader is
Helen Ahonen, and the other ID
called the Weasels, their leades
being Sadie Hill.
The squads will hold their meet
ings regularly each week and ev-
cry once in a while the whole
troop will meet together. The
| squads will try to get new mem
bers and subs to the New Pioneer
Magazine. The squads are alst
going to start other interestin,

The kentucky Strike

The Kentucky miners are strik-
ing. Despite the terrorism of the
bosses and the government the
strike has been growing and
spreading. The workers and the
workers children of the entire
country have been showing their
solidarity with these brave strik-
ers. They have beensending aid
and relief thru the w. l. r. But
what exactly does all of this
mean? Why should the bosses
and the government use terror
ism? What is solidarity" I?
What is the "W. l. RI? What in
fact is strike? It is not enuf
to believe in these things. Every
young comrade should thoroughly
understand the meaning of these

let us in compensation attribute a
certain part of this years good
crop to the collective farms and
their members.
Similar data have resulted from
a number of other Investigations.
That carried on by the instructors
of the Collective Farm Centers
shows that on the collective farm,
"Wave of Revolution" in the Bor-
isoglebsk district near Vovonezh,
the gross production from the So
cialized field work amounted to
272.5 dollars per collectivized
household. For the poor peasants
Mitin, F. Sergeyev, and P. Serge
yev, this was three and hall
times their last years gross pro-
duction, which amounted to only
IS dollars. For the poor peasants
Suslov and Bobkov, who in 1925
had a gross production valued Al
10000 dollars, this was an IN
crease of so per cent. For thu
middle peasants an increase of go
65 dollars is shown.
! Another investigation, carrie;
on by an instructor of the Collec
tive Farm Center on the COLLECTIVE
\ farm, "Stalin," in the North eau
casus, shows that the poor peas
ants Brezhnev and Shcherban Wi
increase their incomes by 100 pc
cent, Shimko and Basov by Is
per cent, and Yalin by 800 pc

United Farmers League
Youth Section

We know the United Farmers
League is the fighting, militant
organization of the farmers,
which struggles for the needs, de-
mands and interests Of the ex-
plotted farmers. The same con-
ditions that affect the adult farm
ers also affect the farming youth.
The adults will not be successful
in their struggles without the
youth, neither will the youth be
successful in their struggles with
out the support of the adults.
Therefore, the United Farmers
League also takes in the youth.
What are the United Farmers
League Youth Sections? They
are composed of all the youth
members of the United Farmers
League, that is, up to % years Of
age.
The youth members pay their
dues, get their cards and attend
the regular UFL local meetings,

pate in all the campaigns and gen.

cleaned out; hence there is no ex-
ploitation. But in the collective
there still exists inequality be-
tween the poor and middle peas
ants, even though the basic means
of production have been socialized,
inasmuch as the middle peasant
has a larger individual holding
than the poor peasant. AS a re-
suit of this, some (the poor peas
ants) will more quickly cutlive
the prejudices of small owners,
others (the middle peasants) more
slowly; some (the middle peas
ants) will be more influenced by
kulak agitation than others (the
poor peasants); some (the middle
peasants) will be drawn more and
others (the poor peasants) less to-
ward an increase in the individual

to 401 dollars, i. e., by so per cent
assuming that he derives supple

on an average harvest. With the

In their squad. These two squads
make a troop. Our troops name

We had a squad meeting last
Wednesday and we had soap carv-
ing. We made all kinds of things,
sickles, hammers, guns, picks, ak
es and all kinds of things that
could be made. While we were ma
king these each one explained
what they stand for and all they
could about them.
We also made small "Plan of
Action" for three months. Each
Pioneer said that they would try
and fill the Plan. Some of the
points on the plan are: Get two
new members into the Pioneer
squad. Each member get one
sub for the New Pioneer maya
zine, etc. At our next meeting
am sure we will get two new pic
lneers into our squad.
In our squad all the pioneer

are, of course, absolutely incor-
rect. j.
The inequality still prevailing
among mill and factory workers
in the U.S.S.R. is caused mainly
by diversity in the quantity and
quality of their labor, by the diff
ference in skill among the work
ers. In the collectives, where the
production of socialized economy
| is divided chiefly in accordance
with the quantity and quality Of
labor, we have this same type of
inequality, but in addition 10 it
we have another inequality, aris-

in size of the supplementary indi.

THE SECOND
FIVE-YEAR PLAN

The Seventeenth all-Union con-
ference of the Communist Party
was opened in Moscow on
January 80. The conference will
consider last years economic re-
suits and the program for 1881,
as well as the preliminary pro-
gram for the next Five-Year
Plan, which will begin January 1,
1888. Indications are that the
new Piatiletka will stress produc-
ton of the consumers goods ne
cessary for the comfort and we'll
being of the people, and increased
housing facilities. While heavy
industrial production will continue
to expand, the proportionate in
crease in industries serving the
direct needs of the population will
be greater than in those manufac-
turing the means Of production.
This is only possible because OF
the basis that has been laid in the
three years of the plan already
completed.

sions will take. During the pres
