by the Young Communist League tried to
turn the Youth Congress, which has been
functioning as a federation of all types OF
organizations. into a political youth party
having a constitution Of its own and bind
inc its member organizations to its decis-
ions.
The position held by the delegates from
A. F of L. unions, the Young Peoples Soc
ialist League, the National Council OF Meth
odist Youth, and other influential organlza-
tions was that the Congress should devote
it's time to the passage of the American
Youth League Act which provides for gov
ernemnt aid and jobs to young workers and
students and at the same time avoids the
undermining of union standards. 1t was
pointed out that with this act as rally
ing point, the Congress could have the
greatest possible unity.
Ben Fischer, national secretary OF the
Y. P. S. L., declared that the official posi-
ton of the young Socialists would be de-
cided at the meeting of their national ex-
ecutive committee.

STEEL INDUSTRY DECLARES
WAR ON TRADE UNIONISM

While the terror against workers In the
South continued undated, the most drama
tic event in the labor news of the week was
the American Iron and Steel Institutes de-
claratiOn of war against the Committee for
Industrial Organization which is seeking to
organize the steel industry.
THE Institute few days ago published
it's position in full-page ads in news papers
all over the country, maintaining that it is
defending the iron and steel workers again
st coercion" and Intimidation" by the G..
|. O. The Institute holds that it's employees
have chosen to join the industry-inspired
company unions, which have voted consist
emily as the industry wanted it to be. Union
organizers of the G. I. o. are charging that
it is common knowledge in steel circles"
that the steel corporations are setting up
veritable arsenals" in their efforts to defeat
the organizational drive in the industry. It
is also charged by the G. l. O. that the
wording of the Institutes labor policy is so
much like that of Republican Convention
in Cleveland recently as to convince them
that both sprang from the same purpose.
The outbreak of violence in Alabama
against organizers of the United Rubber
Workers Union and the rustic of unrest in
the precincts of the auto industry indicate
that the owners of these two industries also
are preparing to resist the organizing pro-
gram of the G. |. 0. These three industries
are among the least organized in the United
States, and they are arming themselves Is
for civil war.

REP. CONVENTION
FASCIST MINDED

CLEVELAND, June 24.-Tba
the fascist-minded Liberty League
and Hearst had the Republican
candidate for president all wrap.
ped and tied up even before the
delegates trooped into this CITY S
clear to everyone here.
Alfred Mossman Landon has
been given the best buildup the
Hearst papers are capable Of Civ
ing anyone. Leading members Of
the Liberty League have con-
tributed heavily to the war chest
of the Republican National Com
mittee.
Landon, obviously under the in.
fluence of his supporters, hasn't
said a word that might prove dam
aging to his candidacy or to the
cause of Hearst and the dupont
Liberty League. He has been
deaf, dumb and blind to recent
events-like the tapering off Of
federal relief, the increasing drive
against civil liberties, the depOta-
ton of political exiles, and the
enormous peacetime war budget
which the president Of the United
States will continue to be called
upon to face. It is significant that
Landon has never repudiated tne
support of Hearst or the Liberty
League.
They paid hard cash for a can.
didate and a platform, and ., tng
got what they wanted in Alfred
Mossman LandOn and an anu,@
Dor and adequate national de-
tense" political program.

REMEMBER THE MAINE"

It is generally known that Hearst is the
outstanding author of Red-ScareS in the
United States and the chief war proprag-
amidst. 1t is also generally known that
Hearst through his lying, sensatinal press
was responsible for the Spanish-American
War. What is not generally known, how
ever, is the true story of the sinking of the
Maine, which Hearst played to drag Amer
lea into war with SPAIN We shall let Gen
eral Smedley D. Butler, retired commander
of the U. S. Marines, tell the story. General
Butler is the only living person ever to re-
ceive twice the Congressional Medal of
Honor for bravery under fire, and is vet
eran of more front-line fighting than any
living u. S. military officer In excoriating
Hearst, whom he accused as being princi-
pally responsible for the war against Spain,
General Butler declared:
The slogan by which thousands were
lured to fight in Cuba was Remember
the Name the battleship presumably
blown up by the Spaniards. But now the
jingOes want to forget the Maine. For
when some years later it was lifted from
the bottom of the Havana harbOr, it was
discovered that the steel plates had been
blown outward, not inward.
Clearly this demonstrates that an in
ternal explosion sank the Maine. We are
now convinced that this was caused by
the smOkeless brown powder, about
which much less was known then than
now becoming Overheated in the glare of
the hot Cuban sun.
Had the explosion been caused by
Spanish-planted mine, the plates would
have caved in. But this fact was hushed
up by the U. S. Navy, which refused to
permit photographs of the resurrected
Maine, and then tOwed it to $500 feet of
water and sank it where the whole truth
can never be learned.
The Maine neevr had any business in
Cuban waters, no more than our navy
has any business now fOOling around the
coast of Japan. But when it was acciden-
tally destroyed, the Spaniards were blanl-
ed, and the sinking of the Maine became
preteXt for grabbing Cuba for the bene-
fit of American sugar planters.

FIGHTING WAR AND FASCISM!
By Michael Alper

1t is gratifying to know that according
to a survey conducted by Fortune magazine,
43 out of every 100 persons in cities with
Hearst newspapers regard their influence
on national affairs as bad. 1t is especially
good to know that the distortion and mis-
representation of news-events and people,
which is the life-blood of the Hearst yellow
press, is not taken seriously by many
Hearst readers. Apparently even the back
ward person, the typical patron of Hearst
papers, sense that Hearst is a fascist pro-
pagandist and is the enemy of democrat
cy and everything decent.

Blow Screens
OF City Wells
Saving Effected In Pumping Costs
Greatly Offsets Expenditure
Necessary Each Five Years

Blowing the screens on the city
wells is a job which is done every
five or six years, and it must be
of water will be shut off from the
consumers. Peter Cairncross, ex-
pert well worker, of st. Paul, is
now in the city relieving these
screens from deposits of quick
sand and silt.
An air pressure of $50 pounds is
necessary to clean the screens, and
the air is sent into the wells
through a hose, which is placed in
side a pipe.
The city has six wells, each about
40 feet deep, and one Of these was
practically shut off After the pres
sure was applied it opened immed
lately. After all the wells have
been blown a water supply is main
tanned with much less effort. This
work should be done at least once
each five years. The screens in the
wells were cleaned six years ago.
TIL saving, effected in pumping
the city's water supply more than
offsets the cost of cleaning screens.
However, If it is not done within
regular periods the city would find
itself without water. A pressure
gauge indicates the necessity Of
this work, and when it reaches a
certain point of pressure officials
of the Water, Light e. Power Co.,
Immediately have the work done.

Stearms County In
Dr0uth Area List
Recommends Government Buy Up
All Feed and Seed In Area
To Avoid Shipping

Stearns County has been recon-
mended as one of the counties In
the drouth area, according to Con-
gresham Harold Knutson, who on
July 9th, had a conference with
Frank w. Peck, at the University
Farm, in charge of the drouth re
lief work in Minnesota. Mr.. Peck
has recommended to Washington
that the following counties be des-
ignated in the drouth area: Kama
bee, Mile Laos, Morrison, Pine,
Sherburne, Stearns, Todd and
Wadena.
It has not yet been determined
whether Aitkin, Benton, Cass, Crow
Wing and Hubbard counties will be
so designated, as they are awaiting
further data from those counties
as to the number of farmers who
are going to need feed and seed
loans and also a more detailed re-
port on damage to crops.
Indications are that other coun-
ties in the Sixth district are going
to be able to get along.
Mr.. Peck has recommended to
Washington that the government
buy up all the feed and seed in the
drouth area so as to obviate the
necessity for shipping in feed and
seed next spring.
Mr.. Knutson remained on in st.
Paul for another day in connection
with this program.
