convention, some hitch-hiking
others riding freights. Every dele
gate took an active part either in
the discussions Or in the work OF

cism, especially by the young work
ers from the steel, coal, marine and
other basic industries.

nlittee of 81 members and eight
candidates was elected.

Communist Party, spoke to the con-
vention yesterday on tasks of the
Communist Party in the struggles
Of the young workers.
One of those who greatly con-
tributed to the discussion on the
various reports was Elsie B. Dunkin
of Southern California. Though
not more than 10, Comrade Dunkin
played an active part in the strike
of 10000 cotton pickers in San
Joaquin Valley, California, last Oc-
tober. She was dressed in the Y.

mia League members.

what they did in order to prepare
for the strike, or what they did dur

after the strike to build the Y. C. L.
units. She then described how Y.
C. L. members were recruited from
among the Mexican strikers in
Southern California.
Forty per cent of the workers
on strike were youth" she said.
