Hold Open Air Meeting.
While the paraders carried the ban
ners with these slogans up and down
before the Polish consulate, a large
open air meeting was started by Mar
tin Abern, local organizer of the Work
ers (Communist) Party in such close
proximity that the Polish consul
Weydenthal and his associates could
easily hear the voices of the speakers
denouncing the government that they
represented.
Among the speakers were Jack
tombstone, acting secretary of the
Trade Union Educational League, j.
Louis Engdahl, editor of the DAILY
WORKER, and M. Marck, co-editor of
the Polish weekly, Trabuna Robotniza,
and member of the bureau of the Pol

Not the First Murder.
I'VE are here assembled before the
Polish consulate" declared Marck,
mot in order to petition the consulate
to save the life of Comrade Lanzut-
sky. We are here to protest against
this dastardly outrage of the Polish
bourgeoisie.
"This is not the first murder of
the Polish capitalists against the
workers and peasants of Poland. But
never before did the Polish ruling
class so openly tear to pieces the So
called immunity of a member Of the
diet as in the case of Comrade Ian
zutsky.
"Comrade Lanzutsky. was the first
one in the Polish diet to defend the
rights of the workers and peasants
Of Poland. At every opportunity he
tore down the mask of hypocrisy from
the representatives of the middle
class, bourgeoisie, and yellow social
lists who combined to keep the work
ers of Poland in subsection.
THE ruling class of Poland can
not destroy the Communist movement
in Poland. The historical words
which Lanzutsky uttered in his last
speech in the Polish diet are still ring
ing in the ears of the Polish bour-
geoisie, that Communism will defeat
you"
