TRA.-POland resounds with the call
4 for the liberation of the political
prisoners. For long time there had
been no mass demonstration of love
and solidarity for the best fighters Of
the class struggle who suffer in chains
in the prisons.
When In parliament the land own
ers and bourgeois representatives
elected their president, from those
benches, from where the struggle for
the Polish workers and peasants is
lead. sounded the call: "Lanzuzkil"
Mosclekl Interrupted.
When under the clumsy pillars OF
the royal palace in Warsaw the new
clown OF the Polish bourgeoisie. Pres
ident Moscicki, gave his oath Of ale
glance to the people" his words were
interrupted by the calls for amnesty.
The representatives of the workers
were attacked, were dragged from the
hall, among them also Comrade Var
ski, but their voices became awaken
ing call for tens Of thousands Of
people in the country.
TO-DAY there is not a single village
l. in Poland where one does not hear
the slogans of the amnesty cam
paign. Recently not single meeting
of the workers Of Warsaw, Lods, Dom
brova and Lublin was held without
an approval of the amnesty campaign.
We participated IN a social demo
cratic meeting in the country. The
usual agenda of the social-democratic
party. The local party bureaucracy
repeated again and again its program.
This was done with the typical "pre-
caution" and reserve" and in a way
as il nothing had happened, as II
everything was in the best order in
the Poland of the capitalists and land
owners, as IL no blood had been shed
in the streets Of Kalish, Strij and War
saw. But suddenly, to the greatest
surprise Of the chairman and the sec
rotary, voices made themselves heard:
1--WE demand the liberation of the
prisoners!"
HANDS were lifted, hundreds OF
IL voices called. 1t was a surprise
also for the "Robitnik," the organ of
the P. P. s., which published not
word about the. resolution for amnesty

1905 the notorious murders against
the Warsaw and Lods workers, the
slogan Of amnesty is raised. From a
bench In the background somewhere
the magic word sounds;
Amnesty"
And Immediately life comes into the
meeting. The leaders would like to
disappear, they would like to establish
silence again. Perhaps they succeed
for a moment. But after an instant
the call sounds again, and the ques-
ton 10 raised from all parts Of the
hail:
"And what about the amnesty"
The resolution is adopted; I'VE de-
mand the release of the political pris-
oners." But the yellow leaders are in
hurry with their own resolution
Long live Pilsudsky!" Also their
resolution is adopted.

Of the powerful idea Of class solidar-
