Recognize Soviet Russia
In the following resolution which
calls for the United States govern
ment to recognize Soviet Russia, it
points out that the reason recognition
has not been granted Russia, was be-
cause the bankers of Wall Street saw
in the only workers and farmers gov
eminent menace to the rule of the
capitalists:
Whereas: The government OF the
United States stubbornly refuses to
recognize the government of Soviet
Russia, the Soviet Republic of the
Russian workers and peasants, ard
Whereas: The Soviet government
is in existence for more then seven
years, growing stronger every year
and being recognized by practically
every nation, and
Whereas Recognition is refused
by the American government for the
sole reason that the bankers of Wall
Street look upon Soviet Russia as
menace to the class rule of capitalists;
therefore,
BE it resolved: That the Hungarian
Workers Benefit and Educational
Federation in convention assembled
on Dec. 5 and 6, in the City of New
York demands the recognition of the
Soviet government by the govern
ment of the United States"
Unconditional Release of GtIow
The Hungarian workers fraternal
organization in another resolution de-
mands the unconditional release of
Benjamin Gitlow, member of the Cen
trail Executive Committee of the Work
ers (CommunisD Party and standard
bsarer for the Workers (Communist)
Party in the mayoralty elections of
New York City. The resolution fol-
lows:
Whereas: Comrade Ben Gitlow has
been imprisoned by the courts of the
capitalist class for his work in the in
terests of the working class, and
whereas: Ben Git'ow member of
the Workers (Communist) Party fo'
years has been one o. the leaders in
the class struggle for the emancipa-
ton of the working class, therefore
BE it resolved: That this conven-
ton of the Hungarian Workers Sick
Benefit and Educational sends its fra
ternal greeting to Comrade Gitlow
and be it
Further resolved: The convention
demands of Governor Smith the I'M
conditional release of Ben Gitlow from
prison"
s Join Labor Defense
This convention also passed the fol-
lowing resolution in which it points
out that the International Labor De-
Tense is an international organization
for the defense of workers who are
prosecuted by the capitalist class and
that as the Hungarian Workers Sick
Benefit and Educational Society is
composed of workers it affiliates itself
with the International Labor Defense
and will pay a per capita of one cent
per member per month.
Whereas: The International Labor
Defense is an international organiza-
ton for the defense of workers, perse-
cuted by the ruling capitalist class for
their activity in the interests Of the
working class, and
whereas: TIE membership of the
Hungarian Workers Sick Benefit and
Educational Federation is composed
of wage workers, who in many in
stances are prosecuted for participat-
ing in strikes mad for picketing, there
fore
"Be it resolved: That the Hungarian
Workers Sick Benefit and Education
al Federation joins the International
