kindly give the space necessary to
this letter in your fighting paper?
1 am a substitute clerk in the Brook
lyn post office, member of that
greatly exploited group of federal
workers, whose plight even the
most reactionary newspapers have
described as 'pitiful."
In a recent issue of the Daily
Worker, another substitute of this
post Office claimed that he earned
the enormous sum of S18 a week.
I wish to state that this is highly
improbable. The above weekly wage
may be earned during the busy
weeks of the year, and these, sad
to say, are very infrequent. Perhaps
the s18 were earned because that
sub had a special drag" with the
boss. Surely that does not make
this sum an average weekly wage
for all subs.
The $40 claimed by the sub
stitute post Office employees organi-
zation as the weekly average wage
all over the country, is a true APP
praisal of the wage situation in

fill the tasks of today and tomorrow.
Unless you realize your response
bility in solving the problems. OF
mass work among the youth, 1t may
be necessary sooner or later to abol-
ish you as leaders.
But this New York section is not
an isolated case, sad to say. In st.
Louis a few weeks ago the section
organizer of the League was taken
from his post and assigned some
other Party task. The result was
that a few YCL. shop nuclei ceased
to be, for lack of leadership. How
is such thing possible in the most
important concentration district of
the Party? Or the vel. shop nuclei
unimportant for the Party? Can the
leadership in District No. 8 permit
such things to happen, and yet
claim to understand the needs Of
the Party?
Often, leading forces are taken
from work among the youth with
the argument, 1--WE need forces"
This argument was used recently by
the Party leadership in District
No. II, Birmingham, when they took
the League District Organizer from
his post and assigned him to other
Party work. But this argument it
self condemns the people who use
it. Sure you need forces. But can
you not see further than your own
noses, comrades of Birmingham? Do
not be so hasty. Look bit ahead
of you. The struggle for power is
not one of day or week. You must
understand that by building mass
youth movement in Alabama, you
will broaden the whole base of the
revolutionary movement and bring
to to the fore many new forces for
the revolutionary movement. You
must make the Y.C.L. the best
training ground for the Party. After
all, is it not true that the best forces
of the Party today we're at one time
or another products of the youth
movement?
In some districts the neglect of
youth work is covered-up with the
argument. That is the responsibility
cf the Y.CL." This is especially true

Seamen Win Strike;
Negro DOCkers Out
Solid Against Cut
Unity Between Negro
and White Workers
Established
BY MAC HARRIS

BALTIMORE, Nd, March IL
The Marine WORKERS Industrial
Union scored another victory when
the crew Of the s. S. Lebore, after
a one hour strike won all demands
presented to the shipowners. This
successful strike won the following
improved conditions for the sea-
men:
II Ordinary seamen wages in
creased from $50 to $S5 per
month.
q Able Seaman's wages in
creased from S45 to $50 per
month.
81 Boatswain increased from
$50 to $50 per month.
A. Firemen increased from S45
to so per month.
s. Recognition of ships commit
tee attained.
81 Better food conditions.
In addition, the crew also forced
the ship owners to hire two Negro
messmen, one Of which is now the
ships delegate. This issue was pri'
marty forced by white members O.
the crew.
Another ship now striking herr
is the SIS. Angelo, controlled by thu
Quaker Line. The strike was
spontaneous walkout and is nov
being conducted with the coopera
ton of the M.WI.U.
The SIS. New Britain, Seward
Liner, which was reported to havI
sailed, is still tied up down tn,
stream, the men having walked of
when the captain attempted X
move the ship out Of the port.
A taxicab loaded with scabS fol
the SIS. Walter Munson was turned
back by pickets and the ship wa
stopped from sailing.
Strike Sentiment Spreading
Another crew joined with thu
longshoremen who have been strik-
ing since March 9Th under the lead
ership of the M.WIU. Approx
mately $50 Negro longshoremen arr
now involved in the strike.
Upon three occasions the solidar-
ity of the white and Negro seamer
and longShoremen succeeded in
turning back scabs. The contrac-
tors threatened to cut the wages
from 60c to soc per hour. The
longshoremen struck and in turn
presented their own demands which
consisted Of: 75c to $110 per hou1
for overtime, maintenance Of orig
inal wage and recognition Of the

To divert the discomfort Of the
working and student youth into re-

major objective of Wall Street in
carrying through its policy of war

of this booklet is to bolster up the

establish a federal police force to
outlaw the youth movement.

adopt the proposal of Easley, under
the cloak of crime prevention" He

of Milwaukee. The leading comrades
here are very good comrades. They
want a mass youth movement in
their district, of that there Is no
doubt, But they want it delivered
to them on silver platter. For
months the District Organizer of the
Y. C. L. with the passive support of
the Party leadership, ignored her
League tasks. The Party leadership
felt no responsibility for this situa-
ton. Oh no! 1t was all the respon-
sibility of the National Committee
of the YCL! Why didn't the Ma
tional Committee send a new Dis
trict Organizer to Milwaukee from
the New York incubator?
Without in the least removing the
special responsibility from the
League leadership for work among
the youth, it must be understood
that the Party is the leader of the
whole working class including its
youth. 1t is the Party in Milwaukee
which is responsible first and fore
most for assigning leading forces
and giving daily political guidance
to work among the youth and to the
building of the Young Communist
League as its best assistant.
These incidents, multiplied many
times over. prove that while the rul-
ing elias is desperately working to
win the youth, our Party has not yet
been completely won for this deci-
sive task.
The objective conditions favor us.
The youth are moving rapidly to
the left. We, the Communists, alone
have way out for the young gen.
Grafton. But, as Comrade Stain
emphasized, victory does not come
without struggle. The youth can
only be won for the revolutionary
class struggle, when the whole Party
and revolutionary movement places
in the center of all of its work the
problem Of winning the genaration

Reaction Is Striving to
Root Itself Among
the Youth
BY GIL GREEN

The present generation of work
ing and student youth, more than
any previous one, is fed-up and dis
gusted with the (capitalist) system
of things. In the past five years of
economic crisis, whole young gen.
Grafton has grown to manhood and
womanhood without prospect of job
or future. Capitalism can offer them
only increasing hunger and new
world war.
More than five million young men
and women under "A years Of age
are jobless today. More than halt
of these have never worked. A mil
lion youth are homeless. Even the
past much vaunted educational Sys-
tenn is collapsing and millions OF
children have no possibilities of even
limited schooling. Those attend
ing school, have the bright prospect
of graduating directly into bread
lines.
Is it surprising then that through
out the ranks of the youth there is
growing spirit of revolt? In the
shops young workers organize and
actively participate in strike strug-
giles. In the Conservation Camps
hundreds of strikes take place. The
farm youth battle militantly against
the hold of monopoly capital. In the
schools large numbers of students
align themselves with the revolu-
tionary working class.
No wonder Mr., Easley of the fas-
cist Civic Federation is uneasy! No
wonder the whole ruling class is
worried They appreciate the deci-
sive Importance of the young gen.
Grafton. They realize that without
the masses of youth it is impossible
to carry through their program OF
war and fascism. They know that
it is the youth who carry the guns

class Socialist Party, A. F, of L.,
are also making their bid for the
young workers, hoping to divert the
rehabilitation INTO harmless (for
capitalism reformist channels.
While all Of the class enemies Of
our revolutionary Party, have in
creased their activity among the
youth, we still find in the ranks of
the Party deep underestimation of
the importance of winning the
working class youth. There is not
as yet sufficient realization of the
fact that without winning the young
workers we cannot successfully lead
the economic and political struggles
of the working class.
If this were understood by the
entire Party, would it be possible
for Party section committee to
come to the conclusion that the
Y.CL. should be abolished? And
yet, this Is exactly what happened
only short while ago in New York
City. Do these comrades on the Sec
ton Committee honestly believe
they can fight war and fascism
without the youth? 1t is our opinion
they never seriously thought over
the whole matter They were so
busy working from one routine task
to another, that they lost their per-

and for the final struggle for Soviet
Power. Instead Of giving leadership
to the youth movement, helping it
solve its problems and plpaying the
real role of a vanguard Party, they
thought they could solve the whole
problem by abolishing it! Is this a
Bolshevik way or is it an expression
of amateurish playing at revolution?
