The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1933-11-18

comrade who had helped me organize
Che Negroes, who told me that the
Party disbanded the L.S.N.R. and
took all the comrades into the PARTY.
How the Party disbaned the LS.N.R.
and took all the comrades into the
Party How could the Party take in
the L.SN.R. when they said they did
not know about It?
Meeting Starts Two Hours Late
l am not writing for fun but for q
lesson to the leaders of the League
and Party to cooperate with each
comrade even if he criticized the
whole system. What right has q
League organizer to call comrades
pe3simists and other names?
After all these years, l wanted to
rejoin the League this year. I ex-
pected to find it much improved, SO
I went to the nearest headquarters to
my hc;ne which was on Avenue c an
9th ST. asked some comrades where
and when the meeting took place. It
took them over an hour to find out
and finally one comrade thought there
is an unit meeting on Sheriff st.
near Delaney 81. The Party COM
rade5 didn't know the Meeting places
of any Young Communist League
units.
So I went to Sheriff st. to attend
p unit meeting. 1 went at 8 o'clock.
The neetiag started 10 D. m. Just
like five years ago and after two hours
arguing until u o'clock the comrades,
who didn't realize that maybe some
one might have TO go to work the next,
day. started an argument about
Russia. I realize that they still have
tno9e same dry, rotten meetings with
nothing accomplished and 7 left the
meeting thinking 1 hadn't missed
much when I didn't attend these
meetings al these years.
II is with bite, heart finish this
lettsc because maybe the Party won't
let this letter be published, but I
hope to read it this Saturday also the
anGWer not with promises but action
that will improve cooperation between q
the members CT the League and TIE
Party.

".An ex-Gsa17le Meznoe. from Ercnx
Unit No. 5
Editorial comment: The charges
--ade IN Che above Letter are GER
tainiJ very sharp. They express
tae recruitment OF a worker to the
lec31-e23 and lack OF continuity
which has often characterized the
Wort. of tie partv ard Y. C. L, in
the ract. In the units OF the Y.C.L.
especially, unit fulcs:onar!es have
charged so frequently, fiuctua:ion
is so great, taat in some cases the
leading comrades of a unit do net
know what happened few months
prior TO their taking office and do
not check I'D and control the carry
ing out of tasks previously begun.
White we feel that the comraGe
is justified in his complaints, we
also feel that some of them are
exaggerated. For example, it is not
true that there has been no change
in tire Y.C.L. in the past years.
Certainly, it is true that too many
units bod dry uninteresting meet
iugs, but is it not truce that the
League is also engaged in various
struggles, ccnductin better work at
the shops, etc? One should not
only one side CT the picture.
We propose that Ire comrade
who wrote the above letter, come
nD to either the National Office OF
District Officc of the Y.CL. anG
We can together with him inyesti-
gate the charges ne makes and
take certain practical steps to
change this situation. We feel also
that this comrsde stpuld once more
DIN the Vel. and inside Of It's
ranks work to build 1t into mass
or~anization.
We also ask that those comrades
WHO kro-v anyth'rg Of the incidents
referred tn by this colnrade, write
to this column explaining exactly
wi'at FaDpered during the period Of
year in which this comrsde was
away from the citv. Esn.ciany do
we want to hear from the Nero
workers who were members Of the
L.S.N.R. g-cup.
