mist position against war.
1t is now necessary more than
ever, he said, that the Y. c. L. show
its face among the students, to
build the League on the campus
and in the schools.
The Struggle Against White
Chauvinism
In the fight against white chau-
vinism and Negro nationalism,
especially, in the Y. c. L. with new
streams of young workers constantly
coming in, it is necessary consist
emily and persistently to clarity the
youth on the struggle for the ma
tional liberation of the Negro
people.
Comrade Green dwelt at length
with the necessity of an intensified
struggle of Marxism and Leninism,
the conquest of revolutionary
theory by the members and leading
cadres of the League.
in this period, with the situa-
ton we have, it should not be be-
yond achievement for the League
to reach membership of 10000 by
January, 1885, and a circulation of
$4,000 for the Young Worker. /.
Our task is to speed up our work,
organize and educate the youth,
create within them a love for our
fatherland, the Soviet Union, and
understanding of Soviet power
which will bring peace and plenty
to this country and to win the ma
jority of the working youth for the
revolutionary way out"

and for the company union. One
eight column headline is typical
DON'T WANT STRIKE STEEL
WORKER DECLARES" The theme
of this Hearst propaganda was that
Work is Better" He spoke of the
"contetned expression" spread over
the faces of the steel workers and
their wives. Another Kilgallen head
line declared, 'Jobless and Agitators
Alone Want Steel Strike, Writer
Told"
THUS all the forces of the steel trust
1 were lined up against the general
steel strike-the national and local
governments, the company unions,
the capitalist press, the fascist steel
trust gangs, the A. F. of L. Off
Gals.
These forces are still in operation,
still organized, still at the service of
the Iron and Steel Institute and
the Roosevelt government. The Am
elgamated Association officials were
the best agents in preventing the
steel strike, especially the Commit
tee of Ten supporting the Tighe-
Green proposals. Under these pro-
posals, basically the same as the
new Roosevelt law, the A. "A. Off
Gals, instead of combating the
terror by the organization of the
mass strength of the workers, have
agreed to Roosevelt arbitration"
The Government ELECTIONS"
The Roosevelt supervised elections
which Green and Tighe have agreed
to, mean not betterment of the con-
ditions of the steel workers but they
mean that all the forces of terror
now fully modified by the steel trust
will be given full reign to smash real
unions and entrench the company
unions. This is the lesson of the
Weirton and Clarion government
supervised" elections which resulted
in further blacklist and in complete
domination of the company union
which meant that the workers won
none of their economic demands.

"The broadneSs of the student

dents left their class rooms.
Despite the slanderous cam

leaders, a number of groups of Y. P.

members affiliated to the United
Front. This is true of New York,
New Haven, Southern California,
Hartford, New Jersey, Seattle, etc.
The extent of the success of our
united front activity among the
Socialist youth can be seen by the
success of the N. Y. D. in New York
City, where the Y. P. S. L. leaders
joined hands with the renegades

Dozens of such fascist leaflets were
issued in the steel towns to try to
terrorize the steel workers against
striking.
Roosevelt Directed Terror
1t was not only the local govern
ments, the mayors, the police, the
burgesses, the national guards, etc.,
which carried on this strikebreak-
ing activity together with the COM
pany unions and the fascist bands
of the steel corporations. All Of
this strikebreaking activity was di-
rected from Washington by the
Roosevelt government, working in
conjunction with the Iron and
Steel Institute, (Which is the MIRA.

officials of the American Federation

The newspapers in the steel trust
centers, in no subtle manner, adj

headline in the Charleroi Mail of

with power to prevent strikes. The
Pittsburgh Press of June is in an

The Hearst newspapers were in
the forefront of the fascist activities
of the Roosevelt government and
the steel trust to prevent the strike.

for several weeks by the Interna-
tional News Service. His daily ar

More Initiation

IRON the very beginning of the Roose-
L welt regime it was pointed out by the
Daily Worker that the price-raising pro-
gram of Roosevelt, and his aggressive i'm
periaIst purposes, make program of pro-
longed initiation absolutely inevitable!
That is, Roosevelt, serving the interests
Of Wall Street, would progressively depreciate the
dollar, in order to maintain the economic position
OF the biggest Wall Street monopolieS at the
pense of the workers and impoverished farmers.
Roosevelt has already moved we'll along the
path Of initiation, slashing the real wages of the
working class through raising prices.
But he has not stopped moving along this path
He will continue to initiate the dollar increasing the
misery of the masses in order to preserve the
profits of his Wall Street masters.
This was made publicly clear by a statement of
the vice-President Of the department store chain,
Gimbels yesterday, when he stated to an assem-
bed group of leading merchants:
ut is conceivable, and this view is held in
important circles, that imitation may begin this
summer, by September or October"
With this in view, this capitalist merchant
Spectator advises his fellow plunderers to stock up
on goods in order to clean up" when prices leap
again.
Yes indeed Roosevelt is getting ready for an
other inflationary stab at the workers pay en-
velope, His N.R.A. measures have not solved the
crisis. Prices rise inflationary stimulation-and
then sink again because the masses have been ex-
plotted and have no means to buy what they have
produced.
fight for higher wages are the only answer
to the Roosevelt initiation. The strike wave for
increased wages must be driven forward to new
heights. There must be organized struggle against
rising prices. We must show the masses how
Roosevelt is robbing them of their buying power,
how he is indirectly, through initiation as well as
directly, cutting their wages.

workers meetings, etc. 1t is strange
coincidence that all the local police
stations in these towns are directly
opposite the mill gates. I saw these
police stations overcrowded with
augmented police forces, watching
the mill gates, as the strike date
approached.
The steel corporations made every
effort to split the ranks of the
workers. Threats of deportation by
Mayor Moore of Youngstown and
other local governments and fascist

U. S. Steel Corporation, declared,

The facts are that in a con-
stituency of $4,000 voters, with a
Communist membership of eight,
in a 14-day election campaign the
Communist candidate was able to
win S,409 votes away from the
Labor Party and the Independent
Labor Party on clear-cut rev.
oluticnary program for the pro-
letarian dictatorship and Soviet
power in Britain.
The election laws allowed the
Labor Party to set the voting date,
and they did it in such manner
to give the Communist Party only
the briefest campaigning period
otherwise the Communist vote
would undoubtedly have been much
higher. What is more, the Commu-
mist Party has grown more than
ten-fold now in Merthr and has
given an example to the whole
British Party.
