WORKERS OF
POLAND STARvE;,
CALL FOR AID
To Aid TOiIers Thru
Their Organization

NEW YORK, Feb. IA committee
Of three consisting Of sazor, Misdel
and Elias Marks, representing the pro-
Vsional workers committee for the
relief of the suffering masses Of Po-
land came to the conference called
by The Federation Of Polish Jews in
America, with the proposal to form
relief committee that will help the
suffering toiIing masses of Poland and
not the imperiaIist reactionary gov
eminent and its supporters.
The hunger and suffering of the
toiling masses of Poland every day
grows worse and worse. The imperi-
alist reactionary policies of the Pc
lish government has brot Poland to
such critical stage, that the large
masses suffer from hunger and live
under the worst possible conditions.
/ Form Provisional Committee.
On the initiative of a group OF
workers that emigrated from Poland,
I "a provisional relief committee was or
ganized to carry on an extensive cam
paign to help the suffering toiling
masses of Poland.
The various relief campaigns that
are being now conducted for the suf-
fering masses of Poland, under the
cover of alleged nonpartisanship are
in reality campaigns to help the Po-
lish bourgeoisie and not the workers.
The provisional committee aims to
help workers of all tendencies thru
their organizations.
The provisional workers relief COM
mittee is interested in having as many
workers organizations represented in
it as possible. II therefore, calls upon
all the workers organizations to join
the provisional workers relief COM
1 mittee and not to aid the various
bourgeois relief committees.
The Federation of Polish Jews in
America and other bourgeois and or
thodox organizations called a relief
conference at which Elias Marks was
given the floor to speak for the pro-
visional workers relief committee.
He began with reading the following
letter addressed to the delegates of
the conference.
Calls For United Front.
ITO the delegates of the relief con-
ference for the Jews in Poland.
"The provisional workers relief
committee, that was organized few
days ago, is sending to you the fol-
lowing letter.
"The acute unemployment that has
engulfed all Poland, has caused great
need and distress among the large
working masses, that are waiting
for relief from their brother workers
in America.
'In the present crisis those that
suffer most are Jewish workers, that
are oppressed with special hatred by
the Polish reactionary government.
The Polish workers and the toiling
masses of the other nationalities that
live at present in Poland suffer i'm
mensely.
Capitalist Government oppressor.
1T Is very clear to the working
masses of Poland and also to us, who
are the guilty ones in the present
crisis. We know that the unemploy-
ment is not an accident. 1t is a re-
suit of the entire policy Of the Polish
land owning capitalist government,
that has brot Poland to the present
stage OF ruin.
1--WE are convinced that every at
tempt to help the Polish government
means to pfolong the death strangles
of the present Polish imperialistic
government that is draining the blood
of the working masses.
"The provisional workers commit
tee calls your attention to the fact
that in the past all the relief com
mittees have strengthened the hands
OF the Polish reaction. The present
relief campaigns must avoid this. The
relief must be carried on so that It
shall not be turned into an aid for
those that are suppressing the work.
ers and the national minorities.
ITO our sorrow we must acknowl-
edge the fact, that the relief cam
paigns, that are now being initiated
by the Federation Of Polish Jews in
America are of the above mentioned
kind. Under the cover OF alleged non.
craftsmanship, the collected relief funds
Will be placed under the control Of
those, who, while supporting the pres
ent reactionary Polish government
and entering into special agreements
with It, they became supporters Of It's
deeds and in such a manner they are
also guilty in the present crisis. I'm.
der the cover of for all Jews the
relief funds will mainly go to the
bourgeois elements and not to those
that suffer more than anyone else.
Appeal to Workers.
