Negro youth from attack of white
chauvinists.
The League must strengthen the
work In the South by building the
Youth Sections of the Sharecrop-
pers Union and working to penetrate
the basic industries, especially in
Alabama. In all of our shop and
trade union work, special demands
must be raised for Negro youth and
they must be drawn into the trade
unions on the basis Of full equality.
Negro young workers must be more
boldly recruited and drawn into the
leadership of the Y. c. L. and the
mass organizations. The League
must conduct much more educa-
tional activity to clarity the white
and Negro youth on our revolution
airy position on the Negro question
and especially on the slogan of the
right of self determination for the
Negro people in the Black Belt Of
the South.
~ Young Worker-Weapon Against
War and Fascism and for Daily
Needs of the Youth
The intensive struggle of the
enemy for the masses of youth, ne
cessitates more than ever before the
building of the Young Worker into
a mass paper, the mass organizer,
agitator and propagandist Of the
YCL. among the youth. In spite
of improvements in the content of
the Young Worker, the National
Convention emphasizes that up to
now there has been an inpermis-
sible neglect of this vital organ by
the whole League and especially the
concentration districts Detroit,
Chicago, Cleveland, Pittsburgh and
New York;.
The Convention instructs the ma
tional committee and every member
of the League to help change the
content of the Young Worker along
the lines Of increasing the shop cor
respondence, simplifying the Ian
guage and approach Of the paper to
the problems Of the young workers,
and reacting to all Of the day to
day problems of the working youth.
The Young Worker must become a
paper with weekly circulation Of
$4,000 within months after the
Convention.

must boldly come forward in their
own name and program, and i'm
mediately begin to issue Y. G. L.
shop papers.
The first concentration task of
the whole League is to build a
Y. G. L. shop unit in every fac
tory where a Party unit exists.
This means that every unit, sec
ton and district must assign
forces and constantly check up
together with the Party on the
carrying through of this task.
81 Work in the Trade Unions
In the past months there has
been some improvement of the work
in the A. F. of L. (steel, etc.. The
work of the league in the revolu-
tionary unions has, however, not
improved and remains in the same
unsatisfactory position.
The reasons for this are: u AS
yet only a small percentage of
the young workers in the Y. G. L.
are members of and active in
trade unions. p The resistance
to take up youth problems and
youth forms by the leadership of
the revolutionary unions, which
are remnants of reformist ideol-
Ogy needle, steel, etc. q The
lack of understanding in the ranks
of the Y. C. L. of the need for
economic youth demands and that
these form the basis for youth
sections, youth committees, etc.
Since the N,R.A., the major
issues of the youth are: II higher
wages to correspond with rising
prices, q against all discrimina-
tory clauses in the industrial
codes, 81 against the terrific
speed-up, d for the right to Join
any union, 81 against throwing
youth out of jobs through use of
seniority clauses, 81 against child
exploitation.
The league must fight against the
attempt to GUST youth from indus
try by means of seniority clauses in
agreements (auto settlement). While
against firing of youth, we
must also fight the attempt to Dust
older workers prematurely from in
dustry without unemployment in
Surance or old age pensions at reg
ular wages. We must unite the
youth and adult workers for one
common struggle for jobs or in
surance, for a shorter work week
without reduction in pay, for voca-
tional training at full wages for
youth under 10, etc.
The Y. c. L. must take the lead
ership in developing a united front
struggle against the exploitation of
especially in textile, agri-
culture, domestic work and street
trades. Here we must expose the
position of Roosevelt, the Socialist
Party and the A. F. of l.. leaders,
who offer no provisions for the
maintenance of those children

develop struggles of the child work.
ers for their partial economic de-

demand that child exploitation be
abolished on the basis of providing
for the children disemployed. This
means in the first place an inten-
sified struggle for H. r. 1898 (the

makes provisions for the children

DOGS FIRST IN
NORTH AMERICA
Proof Animal Is Native of
This Continent.
Prom the Literary Digest.

The dog has frequently been
called mans best friend. At least
since The Azilian phase OF the Old
Stone age he has been devoted to
humanity. This famous partnership
was probably cemented In Europe,
but the partners came from widely
divergent regions of the earth. Man
possibly originated In Africa. The
dog is native American.
The oldest fossil members Of the
dog family are found In the Lower
0ligocene of western North Ameri-
ca, they lived here about thirty
eight million years ago. In that time
says Prof. William X. Gregory, In
the Bulletin of the New York Zoo
LOGICAL society. the dog family was
already represented by two genera.
Cynodictis. the common ancestor of
nll the modern dogs, wolves. foxes,
dholes, ETC.. as we'll as Of the rae
coon family, and Daphoenus. ances-
tor of the giant dogs and the bears.
Cynodictis was not yet either a
dog, wolf or fox. 1t had some
what of the long-bodied. sinking
habit of the civet. Its feet were less
compressed than In later dogs, the
FLAWS were slightly retractile. Its
predecessors. fossils of which are
found In Wyoming, were still less
dog-like. They were tree-llying AMI
mails. somewhat like raccoons, with
spreading hands and feet. The fast
running dogs of later times were
evolved as the plains replaced the
forests In both western North Amer
lea and Europe.
Daphoenus had more massive
skull than Cynodictls, with upper
molars of the crushing type. Bears,
In fact, are only gigantic short-tailed
dogs that have learned to walk on
the whole soles OF their feet and In
which the crushing molars have be-
come greatly Increased In size, says
Professor Gregory. In the rocks

authorities as the connecting link

From North America, dogs spread
rapidly all over the world, probably
reaching Asia over a land bridge at
Behring strait and thence to Europe
and Africa, and South America over
the present land connection when it
was established about twenty million
years ago. At that time there were
already many speeies-swift-run
forms with narrow. compressed feet.
These ancestral dogs In successive
ages gave rise to the numerous types
Of modern wolves, dogs. foxes, and

Among the most curious OF mod

CANADIAN FARMER
GETS MEDICAL AID
FOR LITTLE GIRL
By a Farm COrrespOndent

MURRAYVILLE, B. C. There
is no uniform scale of relief here;
the amount we get depends to a
considerable extent on how many
go together to interview the NUM-
cipal council. The writer took up
the following two cases recently:
A little girl, nine years of age
required treatment to her tonsils.
The Relief Committee refused help
stating they did not furnish sur
gical treatment, but freely gave a
ton of sympathy. Later in the day
the writer demanded from the
council a written statement as to
why they could not give the child
surgical treatment. Result: A
doctor was sent to see the girl and
was instructed to give such treat
ment as might be found necessary.
In the second case, a woman with
three children, who were receiving
$40 a month relief, applied for
more. The council replied that she
was already receiving So too much,
because the scale was So month
for the woman and 81 month for
each child. The writer took M the
case and the council promised TO
consider two.
