more than previously, the Negro
youth are Disseminated against in
getting work or relief; Jim-Crowed
and Disseminated against in school;
terrorized and lynched.
The farm youth also faces condi-
tons as bad as those of their prole-
tartan brothers and sisters in the
cities. The arbitrary government cut
ting Of sowed acreage, plus the grow
ing disproportion, due to monopoly
control, between the low prices re-
ceived for farm produce and the high
prices paid for industrial commodi-
ties, has created conditions in which
the farm youth can find no place
for themselves. They are forced more
and more to leave their farms and
homes trying to get jobs in the cities
to no avail At the same time those
who remain behind must help carry
the burdens Of mortgages, taxation
foreclosures-and among the share
troopers in the South, a growing in
debtedness and peonage.

Realizing more and more that only
struggle against the offensive Of the
bourgeoisie can give them the pros
poets of better life, the young work
ers during the period Of the crisis
became more and more militant. They
actively participated in all the eco
nof11ic and political struggles of the
toiling masses. The rehabilitation Of
the young workers expressed itself
particularly in their participation in
the tremendous strike wave Of 1888,
in the spontaneous wave of strikes
and actions in the C.C.C. camps, and
in their participation in the unem-
ployed struggles especially the state
and national hunger marches.
The process of rehabilitation also
affected other strata of the youth.
Thousands of young farmers were
drawn into the battlefront of the
farming masses. The young Negro
sharecroppers played an important

Win youth for struggle for Soviet America

We must show all the youth that
our whole program of partial de-
nands is connected with the struggle
for revolutionary workers govern
ment, for a Soviet America. We must
popularize the achievements of the
Soviet Union and show the youth that
this is the only way out for them.
We must combat and expose the bour-
geois theories among the youth which
aim at instilling illusions and false
opes in the myth nation" We must
contrast the horrible conditions of
the youth in the capitalist world with
their improved life and freedom in
the land of Soviets. We must show
them that only Soviet Power can give
jobs for all, open the institution of

The YMCA.'s and Y.W.CA.'s have
consciously tried to influence the
youth in the factories, setting up in
dustrial relations departments, hold
ing discussions on unionisrn, ETC., all
with the aim Of furthering class COL
liberation.
This role is more and more being
played by the Settlement House and
Community Center movement, which
involves more youth in it's activities
than any other form Of organiza-
ton. This movement has such
strength because it offers the youth
variety Of activities at low fees,
and covers all Of its work with a
liberal cloak.
At the same time there is taking
place a development of open fascist
organizations among the youth, (Sil-
yer Shirts, Young America. These
organizations are attempting to
arouse the bitterest chauvinist incite-
ment among the masses against the
Negro people, and aping the Hitler
| anti-Semitic propaganda.

generation into reactionary channels
so as to help it solve its crisis at the
expense Of the masses through fas-
cism and war.
The New Deal administration, in its
drive to war and fascism, includes
as a central plank the. mihtaTization
and fascination of the young gener-
alton. Already $4,000 youth have
been placed in conservation forced
labor camps under army control and
modelled after the Hitler youth camps.
Transient camps have been created
for homeless youth. The government
plans to include in its forced labor
system no less than a million youth
by the end of 1884. These youth
the government is training, not only
for a new war, but as fascist shock
troops against the revolutionary
working class.

Shirts and their theology, by aiming
to unite farm and city youth in one
common struggle against monopoly
capital. In the United Farmers
League, Holiday Association, and
other farmers organizations, the
Communists shall work to establish
youth sections.
Build L. S. U. and Other Mass
Organizations
3-The 9Th Convention notes that
the Communists working in the mass
organizations have not yet modified
these organizations for building mass
youth sections as transmission belts to
the Y. G. L. THESE youth sections
must be used to work within the cul-
tural and sport organizations con-
trolled by the borugeoisie. The Ian
guage organizations must be used to
counteract the special national fascist
groups among the youth Of various
nationalities CUkrainian, Italian, Ger
man, Polish, etc). The task Of Com
munists working in trade unions and
mass organizations must be to build
the Labor Sports Union into a mass
organization.
Press Must Work to Win Youth
9-The Party press and the Com
munists working ON all revolutionary
papers must utilize these in reaching
the young generation. The weak
nesSes of the Party in it's work among
the youth are especially reflected in
the Party press, and especially the
Daily Worker, which does not yet per-
meate all Of its work with a struggle
for the young generation. (a) The
Convention instructs the Daily Work
er to organize special young worker
correspondents, to mobilize through its
columns for special youth campaigns,
and to speak to the young generation
Of the need for their fighting for a
Soviet America. (b) Every Party Ian
guage paper Including the Freiheit)
must have regular English supple
ment for young workers. (c) Party

NeW Deal miIitartzes youth

Besides the open military and
forced labor system, we find more
and more Of the bourgeois controlled
mass organizations, (''Y's," All Clubs,
A.AU, Christian Endeavor, etc. be-
ing united under government control.
The Amateur Athletic Union is be-
coming more and more part Of the
war machine. The Settlement Houses
and Community Centers have all
been centralized under city and state
control. The Importance Of these
organizations in influencing the
growing generation can be under
stood when we realize that the ma
jority of young workers liz the United
States are directly or indirectly con-
nected with these organizations.
Since the crisis, many Of these or
CARNATIONS have changed their
methods Of work in accordance with
the mood of the youth. They take
a more critical" approach, use ex-
tensive demagogy, and often pretend
to befriend the young workers in
their struggles for better conditions.

Fire to six million youth jObLess

The Hoover administration, and
even more so the Roosevelt govern
ment, with the support Of the A. F.
Of L. and the Socialist Party, have
demagogically talked Of sending the
youth back to the schools. However,
iu practice they have cut educational
facilities, which has resulted in the
wholesale closing Of schools and the
throwing Of hundreds Of thousands
more youth into the army Of unem-
ployed.
At the same time this army Of mill
lions Of unemployed youth was util-
red by the loourgeoisie to lower the
wages, increase the speed-up and
worsen the conditions Of the en-
ployed youth In spite Of the in
creased denlagogic talk of Roosevelt
against child labor, hundreds Of thou
sands of young children are working
in industry, under conditions of

employed TO be instruments of the
youth in formulating their special de-
nands and organizing special youth
actions; (e) organize sport and cu1-
tural activities and young unemployed
clubs as additional forms of work
among the unemployed youth.
Develop United Front Against Forced
Labor System
3-The Party and League must
guarantee the development of a mass
struggle against the forced labor sys-
tenn which has as its aim to militarize
and fascisize the millions of tinem-
ployed youth. Although work has
been conducted in the G. G. G. camps
during the past year, the Convention
declares that the hundreds of strikes
and actions that took place are only
indicative of the mass upsurge among
these youth and the possibilities of
developing mass movement in these
camps. In the work in these camps
1t is necessary: (a) to develop the
broadcast united front struggles around
the specific grievances of the boys;
(b) TO connect these up with the
whole nature Of the camps, demand
ing the immediate ousting of army
officers, the right Of the boys to run
the camps by their own elected COM
mittees, against all military drill, etc.;
(c) to establish Y. G. L. nuclei and
Y. G. l.. papers in these camps.
Win Youth in Mass Organization
4-The Party, together with the
League, must start mass work in the
youth organizations controlled by the
borgeoisie, especially the Settlement
Houses and industrial "Y's" Party

the Daily Worker their criticisms and opinion
of the resolution printed today.
On the basis of the discussion throughout
the ranks of the Party on this resolution
Comrade Hathaway, member of Central Com
mittee Communist Party and Editor of the
Daily Worker, will make a special report to

its tasks in winning the generation of work

brutal exploitation. The preparations
for wartime production, the desire
for cheap labor, has also resulted in
marked increase in the percentage
Of girls in industry. Girls are being
used to replace older men and boys.
The Department of Labor statistics
show that whereas in 1923 so per
cent of those IA and Is years of age
receiving working certificates were
boys, in 1892 the majority, 50 per
cent, were girls.
In the first years of the economic
crisis there was a constant decline
in the percentage OF youth employed
in the basic industries, with the ex-
ception of marine. However, in the
past year the proportion Of young
workers in these industries has grown
considerably, due to the special dis
criminatory features of the N.R.A.
codes which make much more profit
able the exploitation Of youth labor

This resolution, together with the resoIu-

learning for the youth, solve the ma
tional question, draw the youth into
political life, and tap the creative
energy and initiative of the whole
generation. We must show the youth
that we alone, the Communists, have
a program for them, have way out.
The world closely approaches new
round of revolutions and wars. The
revolutionary upsurge is rising among
the working class and its youth. This
danger Of faScism and war grow daily.
The question of winning the working
class youth becomes of decisive ina
portance. The work among the youth
must become an integral part of all
OF the work of the Party in its strlIg-
gle for the majority Of the working
class.

Thus, in every sense of the word
whole generation OF American
Youth are growing TO maturity with
no prospects of jobs or future. Driven
from pillar to post, refused relief,
millions Of youth have been forced
TO leave home to become migrant
waits, taking food and shelter as best
they can get it. Those working are
constantly haunted with the posi-
oiiity Of unemployment, are speeded-
I'd, are placed on the most monoto-
nous jobs, with no prospect of ever
improving their status. Even those

Socia1-fascists try prisIead young workers

1t must be clear that although the
Young workers are among the most
militant in all struggles, due TO the

very recently, never come III contact

in mining, textile, and other indus
tries, the A. F. of l.. was able to
increase its influence and organiza-
tional 95rength among the young
worke and recruited thousands of
these into new federal unions. In
this manner, the rehabilitation of
thousands Of these young workers
were utilized by the Social-fascists
in their attempt to divert the mill

HOUR WEEK
SEEN NEED

An average 30-hour week, on the
basis of September's production,
would increase employment in
manufacturing industry by II per
cent, or approximately 100000
workers. according to an estimate
by the National Industrial Confer
ence.
To furnish the same number of
man hours with an average 30
hour week per worker would have
required working force of T.
O51, 900, or $4,000 more than were
actually employed, the board said.
It's analysis shows that the pro-
posed reduction of hours by law
would probably produce the fol.
lowing results:
For the employed workers.
reduced hours, increased hourly
earnings, stationary money in
come per week, and increased
cost of living.
"FOr the manufacturers,
smaller output per man hour.
increase in labor cost per man
hour and a larger increase in
labor cost per unit of product"
In September, the board said,
6,352,000 wage-earners in manu-
featuring industries averaging 1873
hours per week furnished 211,518.-
900 man hours in manufacturing
production each week.
The board emphasized that while
the increase in employment
arising from the establishment of
an average 30-hour week can be
shown with approximate accu-
racy, it is difficult to indicate
the full increase of employment
that would result from a maxi
mum 30-hour week.
