The West has the prairie dog; the
East the woodchuck, or grounding,
and there is no affection wasted on
either one by the hunter or farmer.
OF all ground rodents the woodchuck
is considered the greatest nuisance
and one that frequently causes con-
siderable property and personal dam.

Youth Resolution
A special resolution was intro

gether with a report on the work
progressing among the youth in
various unions, providing for the
organization Of definite youth COM

adults and youth to coordinate work
in the youth sections. For the first
time the problems of the militant
voting workers were expressed at

delegate, in resolutions, defeated

Weinstock paid a tribute to the

are taking place; and pointed out
one major shortening of the con-

Shortcomings Pointed Out
Throughout the discussion Of
rank and file problems which &C.
cupied most of the time could be
seen the frank recognition of short
comihgS and weaknesses of the rank
and file movement to date. These
shortcomings included: The failure
to penetrate to any great extent
a number of basic industries which
offer broad field for rank and file
growth, industries which repre-
sent the real strongholds of mono
poly capital such as steel, rubber,
auto, transport, electrical manufac-
turing, which are largely still sep
arated from the Rank and File
Committee.
