CONFLICT OF GENERATIONS

1t is always hard for the old to
understand the young, and for the
young to understand the old. The
two generations have always been
in conflict. Parents are always say
ing that. their children are full of
unreasonable ideas, and children
have always claimed that their par
ents do not keep up with modern
conditions.
So the eternal argument goes on,
year after year. and in century after
century. Probably Noah's children
were thus arguing with the old man
back in the days of the ark. This
conflict is sharp today. So it is very
common to hear parents and chill
dren arguing in the modern family,
the children keen TO do something
that the old folks think is foolish or
dangerous.
Youth needs guidance from the ex-
perience of age. but times have
changed. and the customs of 40
years ago are not the customs of
today. However, the older folks can
see pitfalls in life into which the
young crowd may fall if they do not
have a care.
How shall age and youth live to-
gether in the face of these disagree
ments. and get along without con-
start quarreling?
If the old folks just retire on some
shelf OF the comfortable home circle,
and do not mingle much with the
modern world, the temper of life
changes so that these older ones are
like a ship OH tidal river. which is
left high and dry when the tide runs
cut into the ocean. If the older folks
are doing the new things as they
come along, playing some new
games, reading the new books, and
'eading the newspapers that reflect |
modern life, they will be a part Of i
he new age. Their views of that !
lge will then carry more weight !.
With the young folks.

INDEPENDENCE OF THOUGHT

How many people dare speak up,
and say what they think about poll
tics or public affairs in their home
town or statee
If we are going to have good gov
eminent in the nation, or any local
community, people must be willing
to express their opinions. They
must be willing to take off their
coats and work for good candidates.
They must be willing to help when
movements for good government are
started.
But there are many pussyfooters,
and they are fearful of expressing
their minds. Some of them think
the boss won't like it, if they say
what they think of such things, or
express an opinion on politics.
Others are fearful they will lose
trade or patronage, because people
disagree with them. Many persons
refuse TO say out loud what they
think about such matters, for fear
it will hurt them in a money way
People do not take political opin-
ions so seriously nowadays. If you
are a Republican, and have always
dealt with certain man who is a
Democrat, and have always found
his goods or services satisfactory,
you aren't going to quit doing bust
ness with him for any such reason
as that. You acknowledge that he
has right to his own opinion, as
you have to yours, and your bust
ness relations continue the same.
Many of the evils that have -four
ished have obtained their hold, be-
cause citizens are afraid to stand
up and be counted. Of course if peo-
pie are violent and unreasonable
they create antagonism. But if peo-
pie are calm and tolerant, they can
do their duty without fear. No per-
son with any sense will deny their
right to take part in the duties of !
as they see fit.

CLOSED SCHOOLS

An educational speaker recently
remarked that people do not COM
monty realize how many schools
were closed during the hard times
of l930-33 In some states many of
the schools ran only a very short
year, and a good many were closed
altogether, and many of them will
not probably open during the pres
ent year.
What has become of all these
children thus turned loose? How
many of them are loafing around
street corners? 1t is a tragedy if a
few millions of children are going
into life largely ignorant. At the
earliest possible moment, the Amer
lean people must dee that those
closed school house doors open again.

MENT OF THE CENTRAL COMMITTEE c. P us. Al :

during recent years. In his capacity as member
of the Central Committee of the Party, he has given
leadership in many phases of work.
Comrade Trachtenberg's greatest contribution
undoubtedly has been in the field Of Marxist-
feminist education in the theoretical training Of
thousands upon thousands Of workers, in the ex-
tremey important and urgent task of bringing revo-
lutionary theory to the masses. Upon him has de-
VOWED the main individual responsibility for putting
into life that great remark of Lenins: Without
revolutionary theory, there can be revolutionary
practice"
In making available for the first time to the
American workers many of the writings of Lenin,
correct and scientific transations of the works of
Marx and Engels and the works of Stain, Comrade
Trachtenberg has helped to provide that body of
theory without which advance both in theory and
practice in this country is impossible. He has also
encouraged the development Of American Marxist-
Lennsts, with serious studies OF the problems fac
ing the American working class.
But just to have produced these books would in
itself not have been enough: it was also necessary
to distribute them. to bring them to the masses.

And this Also Comrade Trachtenberg has tackled
with great success considering the level Of devel-
opment of the movement whole. The present
publication of the 100000 edition Of Foundations
Of Lennsm, by Joseph Staln-the first time such
wide distribution of a capital theoretical work
attempted in our ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS the rapid
strides forward which have been made recently in
the distribution Of basic literature Of Communism
Comrade Trachtenberg's 5Oth anniversary, be-
sides serving occasion for the recognition Of
his services should also be the starting point for
ntensifying work in the field of the distribution
of Party literature.
Every member of the Communist Party must be-
come better and more effective Communist, more
able to solve the day-to-day problems Of organi
cation and agitation, BY perfecting his own knowl
edge, by rounding out his own political education
Lenin's slogan on theory must, first of all, be APP
piled by every Communist to himself, in connec-
ton with that particular phase of the working class
movement with which he is connected.
This is the greatest tribute which be paid
to Comrade Alexander Trachtenoerg, the stalwart
MarEi5t feminist, the core Of whose activities he's
been Revolutionary theory to the masses!

THE Central Committee of the Communist Party,
U. S. A.. ereets Conrade Alexander Trachten-
berg on the occasion of his flftieth birthday.
Thirty years of Comrade Trachtenberg's life have
been devoted to the working class movement. He
has been member of the Central Committee of

ltica life started in Russia where after returning
as a demobilized soldier from the Russo-Japanese
war; he joined the Russian Social Democratic Labor
Party and participated in the Revolution of 1905.
Upon his arrival in the United States in 1906, he
Immediately joined the Socialist Party and became
active in the American working class movement,
as lecturer, writer, editor, teacher and political
leader. Some of his present co-workers in the
leadership of the Communist Party today received

In 1921 Conrade Trachtenberg joined the Com
munist Party after having for some time already
carried on a struggle within the Socialist Party
against its reactionary policies. From the begin
ming, he played important and leading role IN
the Communist movement. In 1922, he dele
gate to the Fourth Congress of the Communist
International.
Combining his long experiences in the working
class movement with mastery of the theory of
Marxisnl-Leninism Comrade Trachtenberg with an
unfaiiing energy, has made and is making many and
varied contributions to the movement of the revo-
lutionary proletarat From the moment of the
outbreak of the Russian Revolution Of 1917 he has
been of its staunchest defenders in this coun-
try, being associated from the very beginning with
all movements to support the Soviet power. He is
among the first of the American Communists to
have visited the young Soviet Republic and to popu-
larize its achievements in a national lecture tour.
He was among the few who brought to the Ameri-
can workers frst-hand reports OF the later phases
of the revolution in Germany which he visited in
1928. Ccmrade Trachtenberg has given his closest
attention leadership and advice to the cultural
movement which has developed so rapidly especially

Bomb Throwing Is Seen
AS PrOvocation of
Traffic Bosses

LOS ANGELES, Nov 80. = The
Los Angeles Railway Company re-
fused today to meet with the strik-
ing street car workers. the excuse
given now being the alleged throw
ing of incendiary bombs at a street
car by strikers.
Since the company refused from
the beginning of the strike to meet
with the workers, the bomb throw
ing was undoubtedly a provocation
by an as yet unknown agent of the
company, to furnish the reason.

Wednesday, as militancy in the
strike makes the traffic tie-up more

H. A. Featherstone, president of

has telegraphed President Roose-
welt, requesting that he intervene
to persuade the Los Angeles Rail
way Company to accept arbitration.
The union, he says, wanted arbitra-
ton from the start. A National
Labor Relations Board representa-
tive has been ordered to Los An
geles. Union officials agree to call
off the strike as soon as the COM
pany accepts arbitration. There is
no rank and file strike committee.
The turning over of the street
cars was put into effect during rush
hours, in the very heart of the
downtown region In all cases no
one was hurt, as passengers were
ordered off prior to the turning
over. Traffic in main streets was
blocked for hours.
Late Monday afternoon militant
strikers, ignoring the advice of their
leaders, tied up traffic for almost
an hour on Seventh Street for sew
eral blocks. ranging from Los An
geleS Street to olive Street.
Between 200 and $50 strikers lined
both sides of Seventh Street for
several blocks. Scores of strikers
rushed one car, tore the trolley pole
free and removed the valves from
the air brakes.
One hundred police reserves
rushed to the scene, surrounded the
car and permitted the valves to be
replaced and the car pulled out.
Not stopped by the police show of
force, the strikers proceeded to an
other car and repeated the opera
ton. Even such large reserve of
police proved helpless against the
militancy Of the strikers and an
other riot call was put in. They
brought riot and tear-gas guns and

Brief Filed BY I. L. D.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Nov. 30
Application and accompanying brief
for the writ of certiorari in the
appeal of Haywood Patterson
against the lynch-verdict of death
on framed charges of rape" were
filed today with the U. S. Supreme
Court by Osmond K. Fraenkel, at
torney retained in the appeals by
Haywood Patterson and the Inter
national Labor Defense.
The papers were prepared with
the assistance of Walter H. Pollak,
famous constitutional attorney who
conducted the appeal to the U. S..
Supreme Court for seven of the
boys, two years ago, which resulted
in reversais.
Similar papers in the Norris case
were filed some days ego. The Pat
terson brief took more time to pre-
pare as it raised not only the con-
stitutional question of the exclusion
of Negroes from the grand and petit
juries which indicted the boys and
heard the trial, but other questions
in regard to the conspiracy between
the trial judge, Callahan, and At
General knight of Alabama,
to rob Patterson of his appeal rights
through outright trickery, and ques-
lions of prejudice Of Judge Cal
lahan, displayed more openly in
Patterson's trial than in Norris.
