Canadian Communists re-organized themselves as the Labor-Progressive Party while the YCL became the National Federation of Labor Youth. The NFLY was not formed as an explicitly Marxist-oriented organization, but instead based on the concept of the 'popular front.' In some instances it merged with chapters of the Co-operative Commonwealth Youth Movement, the youth wing of the social democratic Co-operative Commonwealth Federation. This policy was contrary to that of the CCF and resulted in the expulsion of numerous Communists from the party's ranks.

Child pickets besieged storeowners with whistles, armbands and placards bearing slogans like 'Don't be a Sucker! Don't Buy 8 Cent Bars!'" A cross-country protest was planned for May 3. The protest was quelled, however, by the Toronto Telegrams accusations that the National Federation of Labor Youth was a communist front determined to "plant a few of the
