Tellow Youth:

Qnce again it is necessary to ap-

While important events, that the
readers of this column would appre-

Giate reading, are oceurring ‘right

opinion that there is no news in

your area.

All right then. here are some tips
as to the kind of stuff we want. If
you are employed, how are conditions
in your place of employment? Or
do you know of any grievance of
some youns workers that could be
aired in this column? Did your or

LONDON.—The movement against
the war in Africa continues to grow.
The London Trades Council has
adopted a resolution recommending
that the Trade Union Congress
should use ail its influence with a
view to preventing the export of raw
material and food to Italy. The reso-
lution also demands that the repre-
sentatives of the British sovermment
in Geneva should resolutely insist on
the widest possible enforcement of
sanctions with a view to the cessa-
tion of the war.

The London doclers refused to
load the Italian steamer Boccac-
cio which was forced to sail to an-
other port. The dockers of Man-
chester organized a mass demon-
stration of protest against the
loading of Italian ships. The dem-
onstration assumed such propor-
tions that police had to be called
to the port and police patrols were
stationed on all the Italian vessels.

The crew of the Italian trans-
port ship Liguria organized an
anti-war demonstration on the eve
of its departure from Genoa which

the news for publication, etc.

appear disinterestine and of no news
value to you, may be of tremendous

RELIEF FUND NEEDED.
