provisions made for their maintsn-
ance. The Party fights for; "Vocs-
tionaI training for all youth between

tenance for all child laborers under

nists in every workers club, eve
trade union local, every unemployed
assembly. must take patronage over
at least one children's group which
it leads and builds. cd Parents
Councils must be organized on
school basis to support the children's
movement and mobilize the working
class parents for free food and cloth
ing for children of unemployed and
striking workers, against flre-trap
schools, crowded schools, jingoistie
teachings and patriotic and militaTh

Make Young Worker" Mass Paper
1.-THE Party emphasizes the I'm
portance Of building the Young
Worker" into a mass organ of the
toiIing youth. The slight improve
ments in the Young Worker in the
past months, its growth in circuls-
ton, are only Indications Of the pos
sibilities for Transforming this papeT
into a most important agitator, Of
ganizer and propagandist of the Y. c.
L. among the youth.
Raise Political Level Of the Y. G. L.
1.-THE carrying brough Of the
above tasks, the preparations Of the
League for the impending decisive
class battles, all raise sharply the
need for Immediately elevating the
political level of the League and its
leadership. The Party must guide the
development of systematic Marxist-
feminist education in the ranks of
the Y. G. L. and pay close attention
especially to. the development and
training of leading youth cadreS
Party leading comrades should con-
duct classes Of League functionaries
and must through other practical
measures raise the theological level
of the whole League. OF greatest i'm
portance must be the institution of
system of new members classes in
the Y. c. L. which will guarantee the
education. and training of every new
young worker who enters its rank in
the principles Of Communism. To-
day, when all the class enemies OF
the Party are intensifying their ac-
tiyity among the youth, Marxist-
feminist education assumes prime i'm
portance in the Bolshevisation Of the
Y. G. L. and its leadership.
Party Must Guide z. 9. h.
1910 build the League as a mass
organization it is necessary that all
Party organs from the Central Com
mittee to the unit give close political
guidance to the Y. C. L. and feel di-
rectly responsible for solving the
problems of mass work among the
youth. This is to be accomplished byt
(a) Every Party Committee &C. c..
D. c., Section Committee, Unit Buro)
should assign one Of its developed, ex-.
| perienced, responsible members for
work with the corresponding Y. G. L
body as his major Party task. (b
BY assigning from all districts some
of the younger elements of.the Party,
especially those involved In mass
work, for work in the Y. C. L. It is
necessary to conduct an theological
campaign in the ranks of the Party to
get all youth under % years Of age
to work as a member OF the Y. @. l..
In many districts there are more
young workers Of League age In the
Party than in the Y. G. L. In New,
York the registration shows 1,401I
young workers under "a in the Party.
while the whole Y. G. L. in New York.
City has only 100 members. (c) It isl
necessary to strengthen the Party
core in the League by getting all the
active functionaries of the Y. @. l.,
to become members Of the Party, with
work In the Y. G. L. as their Party
task. At present only or per cent
of the Y. G. l.. are Party members.
In connection with this 1t is necessary
to reject the policy of many districts
of the Party in taking forces from
the Y. @. L. for other Party work
The Party must strengthen the cadres
working among the youth both polE-
tically and organizationally.
