ing tornado in the history Of the
country.
Hundreds are killed and thousands
injured! Whole mining towns have
been razed to the ground; other
towns and villages have been partial
ly demolished.
AS in all great tragedies, it is the
workers who are suffering the great
est hardships. The miners in South
ern Illinois, the most affected storm
area, have won for themselves, thru
many years of struggle, one hundred
per cent organization. They made
the mine owners afraid of them. They
have formed a solid phalanx against
attackers of workers rights. Now
they are in distress. Let the work
ers of America come to their aid!
Many relief agencies are at work.
Thousands of dollars are being ap-
propriated by the several states and
by business interests to relieve the
suffering survivors and rehabilitate
the devastated area. But that isn't
enough. 1t is never enough.
The histories of similar catastro-
Plies have shown that the workers
and their families are always the last
consideration, that profiteering and
grating are rampant and inflict add
ed and needless suffering upon the
working class victims which is cos-
cealed by the capitalist press and
covered up with hypocritical lies.

LIPTZIN, OF N. Y.

SPEAK TONIGHT
PrOtes st OutrGgeS of
Manager LeUin

Sam Liptzin, Of the famous Local 5,
Amalgamated Clothing Workers Of
America, suspended by President Sid
ney HilIman from the joint board, will
speak at the great mass protest meet
ing Of AmaIgamated members tonight
at o'clock, at Temple Hall, corner
of Van 5uren street and MarshfieId
Ave.
The meeting is to protest against
the outrageous action of Sam Levin,
manager of the Chicago Joint board,
in taking members of the union off
their jobs and thus depriving them of
a chance to earn a livelihood, merely
for distributing a leaflet issued by
Local of the A. c. w. Of New York
City.
Predict Huge Demonstration.
Judging by the sentiment prevailing
in the shops. this meeting is expect
ed to be huge demonstration against
the Hillman-Levin machine for trying
to drive members out of the trade, re-
duce them to starvation or compel
them to obey the autocratic orders
and follow the class collaborationist
policy of the machine.
The inference can be drawn that
the Hillman-Levin machine is picking
this particular time to throw the best
militant workers out Of the Shops, be-
cause thereby the machine will be
better able to put over the new agree
ment with wage reductions, produc-
tion standards and readjustments
against the interests of the workers
and for the interests of the manufac-
turers. The machine openly says the
bosses should be helped.

HANDS OFF
SOVIET RUSSIA"
MEET, MAR. Is
Mass Demonstration in
New York City

NEW YORK, March 22.-Acting un-
der the cloak of relief for political
prisoners, a new committee has been
formed in New York for the purpose
Of carrying on a campaign against
Soviet Russia. Altho there are some
liberals in this committee whose
sympathy" with Soviet Russia must
be unquestioned, the handspring OF
the committee are the counter revolu'
tlonary socialists and anarchists.
The revolutionary and class con-
scious workers of this country have
shown that arch-counter revolutionary
of the Second International, Mr..
Abramovich, that he can find no sup
port here. The United States govern
ment is considering the recognition of
Soviet Russia-and the counter revo-
lutionary Vladecks, Cahans, and Hill
quits, start "a campaign against the
first workers and farmers govern
ment in the world.
The Workers Party, Young Work
ers' League, and the international
Workers Aid have arranged mass
demonstration, which will take place
on Wednesday, March 25y at SD. M,
at Central Opera House, 2O5 Il. 9th
st. This demonstration will show
that the workers of New York are
also able to mobilize their forces un-
der the slogan Of Hands on Sow
let Russia!" The International Work
ers' Aid Is the only working class
organization aiding proletarian pris-
oners in the capitalist dungeons. The
appearance of the new committee will
only divide the efforts of the workers
to assist their revolutionary comrades
In prison.
Workers OF New York. Appear in
your thousands. Show the enemies
OF the Soviet government that there
Is no room in America for them. Show
your solidarity with tlIeworking class
prisoners tortured ina the capitalist
jails. BE at the meeting and bring
