An uncredited article, most likely by editor M.T. Rice, about the IWW youth auxiliary organization, the Junior Wobblies. Originally appeared in the Industrial Worker (February 11, 1928)
The special card for membership in the Junior Wobbly Union is now in the field. All the kids that have applied for same, or wish to take out one, can receive this card from the local secretary. Any local that wishes to have these cards and organize the youngsters can apply for them at State Headquarters, Box 98, Lafayette, Colorado.
Lafayette has already over a hundred boys and girls organized in this new I.W.W. phalanx of the youths. Frederick youngsters have already shown the spirit of the battle in their stand for real working class ideals. From Canon City the word has come that the boys and girls of that section of Colorado have already organized and intend to be the vanguard of the revolutionary movement, blazing the trail toward future industrial freedom.
In these youths we hail the dawn of a new era. May they be always victorious in their struggle for human rights.
The Junior Wobbly Union card has been received by the Industrial Worker and will be treasured as the marker of a milestone in the advancement of the I.W.W. toward human brotherhood. It is a beautiful little card of flaming red and will come to be the proud and prized possession of all working class boys and girls. It has month squares for J.W.U. stamps, similar to the red cards of the “grown-ups” and on its back is inscribed the following:
“The Youths of our age have an important mission to fulfill if social progress is to continue. The Youth of the working class must recognize that only as organized members of their class can they hope to achieve success”
