revove the plans Of the capitalist class for the
fascination and mihtarization Of the entire work
ing class Among the youth, above every other
section Of the workers are concentrated the efforts
Of the capitalist class to instiu nationalist and
chauvinist sentiments. From among the youth,
more than any other section Of the workers, do
the bosses plan to recruit their armed forces for
the next imperialist
At the same time. however, the youth are more
and more stepping into the front ranks of all the
tremendous class battles waged by the proletariat
Alabama Toledo. Minneapolis and many other
scenes Of recent sharp struggle testify to the enor
nous role played by the youth in the struggle
against capitalism.
Because of this, the ruling class is exerting all
its efforts to win the youth as its storm troops
for faScism. Because of this the proletariat must
intensity more energetcally than ever its struggle
to win the youth as its shock troops for revolu-
ton.
It is this which gives to the 7th National Con-
vention Of the Young Communist League its his
toric Importance.
The deliberations and decisions of the 7th YCL.
Convention will be Of a far-reaching and fnds-
mental character. For this reason, workers every
where, both youth and adult must not be merely
spectators but participants in the Convention dis
cussion. The Daily Worker calls upon all readers
to study the draft resolution of the National Com
mittee of the Young Communist League for the
7th National Convention and to discuss it in the
pages of the Daily Worker.
The Daily Worker calls upon all our readers to
contribute their opinions the basis of the draft
resolution that really mass discussion of the
problems Of the revolutionary movement may be
developed.

Special TO the Daily Worker


MOSCOW, June S (By Radio
Declaring the statement of the
japanese diplomatic agent Sima-
mura in Hardin that Soviet guards
deliberately fired on a Manchurian
steamer are entirely unwarranted,
the press here publishes the reply of
the Soviet consul general Slavutsky
in Hardin.
In the latter part of May the
Marchukuoan steamer Dicheng with
Japanese soldiers on board ap-
preached the Soviet border and
began taking photographs of the
frontier guard stations. This was
the third of series of provocative
acts instigated by the Japanese
military authorities against the
Soviet Union.
Consul Slavutsky states that an
investigation undertaken by him
conclusively established that the
steamer Dicheng made an unwar-
ranted approach to the Soviet river
bank in North Manchuria and spies
were photographing Soviet guard
points. The steamer insisted on
sailing near the Soviet shore, despite

Fight Lasts 4 Hours

ROUBAIX, France, June s.
More than 100 persons were
wounded today in a four-hour fight
of Communists and rank and file
members of the Socialist Party of
France against a fascist meeting
addressed by Deputy Philippe Hen
riot.
The united front action of the
workers rallied many thousands,
who stormed the meeting shouting:
Down with fascism! Down with
Hitlerl Down with the French and
German fascists! Free Ernst Thael-
mannp When the police arrived to
protect the fascists, the workers
barricaded themselves and con-
tinued the fight. Deputy Henriot,
who is a fascist member of the Ma
tional Republican Party, was pre-
vented from speaking. The police
attack was especially vicious, a
number Of workers being seriously
wounded.

Smash The Bakers
Injunction

THE temporary injunction issued by
Supreme Court Justice Leander B. Fa-
Der against members of Local sos of the
Bakery and Confectionery Workers In
ternational Union, forbidding them to
strike, picket, or talk or whisper about
striking or picketing at the Standard
Baking Company of Brooklyn is being railroaded
through the courts with lightning speed.
This injunction, the most infamous in the an
nails of labor history, injunction aiming at ham
pering other unions from coming to the aid Of
the plant, will become permanent axe hanging
over the entire New York labor movement If it is
not at once vigorously challenged by mass actions
of the organized workers of Greater New York.
The Appellate Division of the courts has al
ready upheld the vicious writ and the solons of
capitalism have got the legal skids creased to shoot
it through the Supreme Court where they hope to
make it a permanent strikebreaking order, one
which will establish precedent to make illegal and
smash all strikes.
Matthew M Levy Socialist lawyer of the firm
of Panken g. Levy, who is handling the case in
court is trying to keep the fight within the bounds
of legal procedure He is attempting to pin the
faith of the workers solely on the capitalist courts
which issued the Injunction
To rely only on legal action in the courts will
be disastrous Only mass action of the workers
can smash the injunction.
The Bakers Locals of the A. F. of L.. workers
OF the Amagamated Food Workers and the Food
Workers Industrial Union must get together at
with workers in all unions and form solid
fighting front against the injunction menace
Smash the injunction by mass picketing and
mass violations!

u. S. Sailor Addresses SrUedish Anti Var Meeting

STOCKHOLM, May % CBy Mail)
An American sailor from the
cruiser ~. S. S. New Orleans"
brought the greetings from his
fellow sailors to a National Youth
Day Congress Against War and
FasciSm representing more than
10000 young Swedish workers, held
here May 20.
The American sailor spoke at the
second day of the congress. He
said
I'VE, the crew of the New Or
leans, greet the great Anti-War
Congress and hope that the con-
gresS will bring positive results. We
promise that the sailors of the
American navy will DO all we can
to prevent an imperialist war, to
defend the Soviet Union and Soviet
China. Due to rigid police control
we can only be represented in this
way, but We promise to be repre-
sented at the Anti-War Congress in
the U, S. A. Long live the solidar-
ity Of soldiers and sailors all over
the world.
In the next big war, we, Ameri-
can navy men, will be forced to
fight against workers in other
countries, against the workers in
China and the Soviet Union. But
we will not do this. We will unite
with the workers and fight against
the rich for a workers, farmers and
soldiers republic"
The greeting was followed by a
tremendous ovation and the con-
gress sent a greeting back to the
American sailors.

Helping the Steel Trust
With cred Batting"

MO DOUBT the employers on the Steel
~ Trust heard with good deal of salts
faction the vicious outburst of President
Tighe of the Amalgamated Association
yesterday.
Referring to the Communists and the
Steel and Metal Workers Industrial
Union, he said:
Not only do we advise, but we command you
(A.A members to dsassociate yourselves from
these vpers and mongreis.'
This is raising the red scare" in style that
must make the steel employers happy indeed,
The Communists are in the front ranks Of the
struggles Of the workers against the employers
They are the most devoted, loyal and persistent
defenders of the workers wages, conditions, etc.
1t is precisely for this reason that the employers in
varably attempt to raise the smoke-screen of the
red scare
Tighes policies play right into the hands of
the Steel Trust Tighes "red-b batting" is blow
against the struggle of the rank and file Of the
AA for higher wages and better conditions.
THE SMWLU, is a trade union. 1t welcomes
4 and urges all steel and metal workers, regard
less of party, race or creed to join its ranks in
united fight for better wages union conditions ETC.
Among its members are Communists vino dis
Gngu1sh themselves by their mlhtancy in defense
of the workers interests. But there are non-party
workers who are equally militant in struggle The
SM.WIU. unites all these workers in a common
fight against the common enemy the Steel Trust
The sM.WLU. is right taking the lead
n calling for unity of ALL STEEL WORKERS,
union and non-union, party and non-party, in
preparation for national steel strike. It has
issued a call to the members of the AA for
joint strike action.
The S.M.WLU. differs from the leadership of
the A. F. of L. unions in that it bases itself on a
program Of class struggle in that it declares that
the workers and the bosses cannot have any COM
mon interests that the fight for higher wages must
be waged regardless of how this affects the profits
of the employers
This Tighe "red-baiting" is menace to the
success of the steel strike. Against it, the S.MW
III. and the Communist Party urge the firmest
solidarity and unity of all steel workers
For unity and a national strike in steel!

Owen D. Young And
Revolution

OWEN D. YOUNG, urbane multi-mil-
" lionaire industrial monopolist, whose
hand guides the billion-dollar monopoly,
General Electric, offers the graduating
class of Nebraska University some of his
homely philosophy.
Civilization by evolution progresses
slowly. BY revolution it destroys than 1t
creates" he advises the students out of his large
wisdom.
Has the learned muti-millionaire never heard of
the mighty Revolution of 1776? Does he, certainly
100 per cent American" considers that this
luton destroyed more than it created?
Before the 1917 Proletarian Revolution in Rus
sia there was the oppression of Czarism, the ex-
poitation of the capitalists and landlords the de-
gradation and filth of a backward country.
The Proletarian Revolution destroyed all that
Now there is no unemployment no exploitation of
the many by the few no capitalists, no landlords
no usurers, no mortgage holders, capitalist
bankers.
Now the Proletarian Revolution, through the
setting up of new form of government, Work
ers' and Farmers Government, a Soviet Govern
ment is building better life for the whole toiling
population. Now the workers and farmers Of the
Soviet Union are the road to Socialism to
classics society free from all parasites and ex-
ploiters
In this case Mr.. Young would have tough
time proving that the Bolshevik Revolution de
stroyed more than it created"
In the United States also such prOetarian
revolution would put an end to the rule of the
Wall Street biIlionaires and bankers to the rule
of the Mr.. YoungS. 1t would open all the fac
tories, give every abe-bodied person immediate
work. cancel all mortgage debts, stop all farm
foreclosures, increase production to the highest
limits in order to give adequate food, shelter and
clothing TO every worker and his family through
out the country 1t would end the crisis.
For Mr.. Young, such a revolution would be
destructive" 1t would destroy the capitalist sys-
tenn in which he gets fat profit, For the vast
majority of the population revolution would be the
most constructive deed possible

prised that the union could force
Mininger to sign the agreement and
said this was no sell-out but merely
a splitting of the difference. Under
the agreement scabs get the five
per cent increase and preferenc in
tn rhiring and reception of their
compay uion.
Floyd Bossler, the president of
the union, urged the strikers to "go
back to work and prove to the
world that union labor is better
than non-union by working in har-
mony with the Scabs ad by pro-
ducing better and more work than
the scabs."
Lawrence Aundrey, member of
the sub-regional Labor Board, de-
Tended the sell-out and stated, "A
lot Of scabs will make better union
members than many members who
struck and fought against the COM
pany."
Again this mornings Times an
nounced the strike settlement be-
fore the vote was taken. Some Of
the strikers read that the settle
ment had been concluded while the
strike vote was takin place.
At the meeting called by the
Communist Party for Wednesday,
in Moose Temple, corner of Cherry
and Ontario Streets, Earl Browder,
General Secretary of the Commu-
mist Party of the U. S. A., will
analyze the sell-out agreement and
the lessons of the Toledo strike.

5000 members of the Guild, however
by 18 to IL carried the Scottish re-
solution for sympathetic affliation.
Present throughout the conference,
also, was representative of the
Young Communist League of
Britain, Comrade Massie.
Brockaway threatened the youth
with every dire consequence. He
declared that since the youth now

The decision taken by the 1. l..

Conferences of a similar charac-
ter, with no Socialist leaders pres
ent, were held on unemployed and
women's work. These conferences
were obviously only gestures to al
low some of the delegates to 'let
off steam" and create the impress
sion that the Socialist Party was
really dealing with these problems
seriously.

speeiaI TO the paiIr worker

DETROIT, Mich, June 5.-The
only Negro candidate for the
National Committee of the Social
ist Party, Frank Crosswaith, re-
ceived the lowest vote of 10 candi-
dates at the Socialist Party conven-
ton which closed here on Sunday.
Thus the Socialist leaders, despite
their lip-seryice to Negro equality,
demonstrated again their real white
chauyiniSt position.
The low vote for Crosswaith was
another clear example of the great
gap between the words and deeds of
the Socialist Party. When Cross
waith was nominated, he received
tremendous applause, and through
out the convention whenever his
name was mentioned. he was loudly
applauded. But when it came to
actually voting for Negro, that
was another matter.
The so-called "Ieft" groups, "milit-
ants" and revolutionary policy COM
mittee, who made a secret deal re-
garding common slate, joined with
the open reactionaries in falling to
support CrosSwaith despite the fact
he is politically close to the mill
tants."
Especial to the Daily Worker}
DETROIT, June 3. Segregation
of Negroes into jim-crow Socialist
locals in the South was upheld at
special conference on the Negro
question held at the Socialist Party
National Convention here. Frank
Crosswaith, reactionary Negro front
of the Socialist Party, acquiesced in
the demands Of the white Southern
delegates present for the continua-
ton of the Socialist Party policy of
supporting the jim-crow traditions
and practices of the landlord-capi
talist slave drivers.
The conference was a striking il
lustration of the kind of lip-scrvice
the Socialist Party gives to the all
important Negro question. A pre-
liminary conference was held Fri
day, with the two lone Negro dele
gates. Crosswaith, of New York, and
