PARTY LIFE
Weaknesses Of Y. CT. York
Among the College Students
OppOrtuniSt Tendencies Must Be Eliminated;
Must Make Y.C.L Students Real Communists

Although Comrade Earl Browder,
in his report to the Eighth Conven-
ton of the Communist Party, dealt
quite briefly it is true, with some
aspects of our work among students,
discussion among higher Young
Communist League bodies seems to
be limited to a statement Of the
necessity of increasing our activity
among the students. It is essential
now during the pre-convention and
convention period, that we have not
merely mechanical statements of
policy with which we all agree, but
actual discussion by comrades ac-
tive in this movement concerning
the successes and shortcomings of
our work.
To start the ball rolling in the
right direction, I want to discuss
the work of our League fraction in
City College Evening Session. In
this school we have made the seri-
Gus mistake of trying to separate
our Y. G. L. tasks from our National
Student League tasks. What we
failed to realize was that our chief
task as a Y. G. L. fraction was to
build the N. S. L. Under ''Y. G. L.
work" we enumerated the sale Of
the Daily Worker" Young
Worker" pamphlets. etc, and the
distribution Of leaflets explaining
the program of our League.
This "Y. c. L. work" was done so
we'll that during the course of the
term we exceeded our quota for
recruiting into the League How
ever this work was carried out at
the expense of the N. S. L. chapter
at the college. Instead Of building
the N. S. L. as a mass organization
and working correctly within it to
recruit into the Y. c. L., we re-
cruited into the Y. c. L., and thus
automatically built the N. S. L. as
a sectarian group. Even in the little
work done by the N. S. L., we sue
ceeded in activizing no more than
half dozen non-Y. G. L.'ers. We
had no adequate preparation for the
Anti-War Strike of April 10. Con-
sidering this lack of work, the turn
out was fairly successful, but again
the N. S. L. failed to achieve any
thing organizationally. The strike
should have been followed by a
leaf1et pointing out how successful
united front of the N. S. L. and
Student League for Industrial
Democracy really could be. Moth
ing was done, however.

Would 1T not be possible to run
a column in every issue, telling
in clear, simple language what the
aims and platform of the Party
are? You may think it is self
evident in the paper. But as
sure you to a worker unfamiliar
with Communism, 1t would help

Help LadiSh Shop
In Pact TriCkery
Fail To Put Up a Fight
Against Dismissals
Following Strike

BY Metal Worker Correspondent
CUDAHY, visa new scheme
which is quite a stranger to many
workers here was called off by Lad
ish Drop Forge in this city.
About six weeks ago there was a
strike at Ladish Drop Forge here
for a so per cent raise, a new wash
room which is badly needed, a
shower bath, and a few other de-
mands.
At first Mr.. Ladish did not want
to listen to these demands. But to
his surprise the workers walked out
100 per cent in less than an hour.
Then he started to figure out other
ways to keep the workers from
striking and to finish the big order
he had on hand from auto COM
panies, under the miserable wages
he pays, and big profit for him
self. He came out and lied to the
workers about not making any
money; he said that he cannot give
them the amount of so per cent at
once, but would give 10 per cent
now, and another 10 per cent in so
days, and agreed to all demands
except on weekly pay.
Boys" Mr.. Ladish says, eff you
want to look over the books you can
go and see for yourselves how much
profit I am making" But Mr. Ladish
knows very well how the books are
fixed up to show very little profit,
but the books with big profit in
them are kept in secret.
The leaders OF the A. F. of L. did
not even let the hammers cool off;
they settled the strike on the same
day, with 10 per cent raise, which
gives the workers AZ cents an hour,
with a promise of another raise in
60 days, eff I make enough busi-
ness with profit, by that time"
says Mr. Ladish.
What do you think about this
picture, isn't it swell? When will he
say that he made enough to give a
voluntary raise2 Never. But right
after the strike Mr.. Ladish fired
and hired, speeded up the jobs day
and night, for about two weeks, and
when the so days soon came to be
up, Mr.. LadiSh laid off two shifts,
and then some forces from the day
shift.
Over 300 workers are laid off out
Of $40 force. To blind the workers
and to escape the 10 per cent raise
he said that business was Stacking
They told the workers to stay home

two weeks. I'VE will call for you,"
they said.
Yes, after the date of the raise
is past, Ladish will make another
rush for about month, and do the
same thing over again.
They discharged the most active
union memberes and are replacing
them with non-union men. Yet the
union leadership did not take a
single step to prevent this discrim-
nation against union members. I
say that we should organize 100
per cent, and when we go back, to
walk out as we did before. But this
time we must not take any of Mr..
Ladish's compromises in go days, but
strike and picket until we get all
10 per cent at once.
I overheard bunch of workers
discussing amongst themselves that
the Communist Party told them the
best advice, for mass picketing and
a large workers committee of rank
and file members.

Six National Guardsmen
Jailed for Refusing to

Br a Worker Correspondent


TOLEDO, Ohio.-Since May 7 I
have been working hard in the
Buckeye Brewery after three years
idleness. The Brewery is in the
close neighborhood of the Auto-Lite
plant. and the sentries Of the Ma
tional Guard sometimes extended to
our doors. Our workers in general
we're unsympathetic toward them,
They did not talk to them, not one
got bottle Of beer.
I myslf felt sickened by the bare
sight of them and since was work.
ing I did not pass the war zone
But one of my sons was close around
the battle and told me how tear
gas tastes, and said that one Ma
tional Guard boy cried because of
the unexpected terrible experience
of fighting American workers, and
six National Guard boys were i'm
prisoned for disobedience.
A friend of my son witnessed how
one policeman advised the strikers
not to throw one brick and then
retreat. but to take a whole armful
of bricks and throw them out before
retreating. BY the first attack in
that way they drove the soldier kids
back.
Half of the workers in our brewery
are in the International Union of
United Brewery, Flour, Cereal, and
Soft Drink Workers. 1t costs $25
to join the union. I myself, like
the rest, have permit card for
temporary employment, which cost
SIPS monthly. Those who hold the
latter are not allowed to attend the
union meetings. The union leaders
are Of the type you know very well,
A. F. of L., and so no action at all
was taken toward voting about the
general strike, except in participant
ing in the parade on June /,
That was brilliant spectacle. The
line was wide and long with ban
ners and music, but in the rear was
displayed color and life by singing
and shouting comrades from the
Communist Party, Friends of Soviet
Union, Unemployed Council, IN
employed League (Muste), American
Workers Party, and a few Socialists
I have seen in blue shirts and arm
signs. The members of the auto
union we're called inside the
Memorial Hall by their leaders.
Before this thing occurred I had
given up every hope for Toledo, but
since this unexpected event broke
out, I begin to like this town.
The Nazis begin to be busy here.
Yesterday the F.S.U. had an I'M
expectedly good meeting here. DR.

Declares Union Officials
We're From Beginning
Opposed to Struggle
By q Worker COrrespondent

TOLEDO, Ohio.-The Auto Lite
plant closed not because the Amer
lean Federation of Labor officials
forced the plant to close. but be-
cause Of the rank and file workers,
helped by the Communist Party.
The leaders of the American
Federation Of Labor we're all against
that struggle. They wanted the
strike to be settled in a peaceful"
manner. If it wasn't for the Com
munist Party, the strike in the
Miniger plant would have been
broken a long time ago. Most of
the other workers in the other fac
tories in Toledo were in favor Of a
general strike, but the bureaucrats
of the A. F. of L., like Ramsey and
others, did not want a general
strike, so the general strike plans
have failed.
Because Of the talk of the Y.
G. L. comrades to the guardsmen,
a few of the national guards re-
fused to fight the workers. They
were discharged and imprisoned
because of this. Some boys in the
National Guards expressed their
sorrow that if they only knew
that they would have to confront
the workers with bayonets they
would never have enlisted in that
kind Of an army.

AS preparation for May Day. one
open air meeting was held without
any advertising or preliminary
preparation. As result there was
no showing. The preparatory work
for National Youth Day was slightly
better.
In addition there are very serious
faults within the fraction itself. We
face the great task of making Com
munists out of our Y. c. L.'ers. No
more than twenty per cent of our
fraction know the meaning of real
Bolshevik activity All sorts Of right
opportunistic tendencies manifest
themselves. For example, recently
many comrades said the Young
Worker" should not be sold within
the college. When our frac-
ton secretary pointed out that we
have pursued sectarian policy in.
stead of mingling with the hundreds
of students who discussed the
Toledo situation, etc., another COM
rade answered that most Of them
are Y. P. S. LIS and TrotzkyiteS
anyhow" Obviously if the level Of
our work is to be raised we must
develop our League comrades, and
clean out those who have no placs
in our League.
No doubt many of our mistakes
developed as a result of the lack
of guidance on the part of higher
N. S. L. and Y. G. l.. bodies. We
must see to it that relations are
established and maintained between
us and the District, in order that
we may better begin to organize
the great mass of students who are
rapidly becoming class conscious

By a Steel Worker Correspondent
GARY, Ind.-At the Gary Steel
works-ever since May 81. there is
strike talk. The steel bosses are
putting wire fences all around the
plant. and are erecting electric
Searchlights near the mill
The leaders of the American Fed
Grafton of Labor and the Amalga-
mated Association have been preach
ing strike for the last three months,
and now they see that the workers
are really beginning to act against
the steel barons. So the leaders of
both organizations have started to
talk arbitration. Workers, who are
laying plans for a strike should
kick these damn leaders out, and
start the wheels rolling in a real
workers way.
Furthermore, look what took place
on June II. Workers were off for
a month at time, but the bosses
made special trips to the workers
homes to get them in the shop and
make them vote on the lousy COM
pany union. We have had it for
one year, that union, and so-called
workers representatives to work
collectively. What have they done
in a years time? Can any of you
steel workers recall any day that
you've attended any meeting with
company representatives. You can
not, and cannot, because we've
