Come Out and Record
Your Protest at Rule
of Fascist Terrorism

Tomorrow, Tuesday evening, there
will be a meeting of protest at the
fascist terror in Lithuania, which will
take on also the nature of a memo
rial TO the four comrades who were
recently executed by a firing squad in
that country, now in the grip of the
deepest reaction, Poschela, Greifen-
berger, Tschiorny and Giedris.
The meeting will be at Lithuanian
hall, 1888 South Halsted street, under
toe auspices OF the Lithuanian branch
of the International Labor Defense.
G. r. Ruthenberg, secretary of the
Workers (CommunisD Party, will
speak, as we'll as others.
Lithuanian comrades are urging by
cabled messages that the working
class of the world protest against the
white terror. The same request comes
from Moscow. The need Of action is
urgent. Every man and woman who
attends this meeting will, even by his
presence alone, add to the volume of
resentment that the proletariat of the
world must show at the atrocities now
being inflicted on the Communists,
and thru them on the whole working
class, by the present forces in power
in Lithuania.

missed the case the chief told Com
rade Victor that at the next session
of the city council her newsboy Ii
cense and the licenses of six others
would be revoked. The council has
met many times, but has not yet taken
action against this growing shop
paper.
In spite Of this opposition, We have
succeeded in reaching a mass of work
ers who not only buy the paper to
read themselves but who distribute 1t
among their shopmates and contribute
stories about shop conditions.
The Ford Worker gives us the OPP
portunity to asitate or propaganda
among our shopmates. When the
paper comes out we naturally ask our
shopmates If they read the last issue
Of the Ford Worker and If they liked
1t. In the conversation that follows
we get suggestions, pointers or val
liable criticism. Even boys In the
trade school and women in the plant
are interested in the paper.
Thru our activities with the Ford
Worker we are also convincing the
comrades who have stayed out of the
party that the reorganization OF the
party along the basis of shops, mills
and mines is effective. Thru our &C
tivities all comrades are taking more
interest in the party work.

Licenses Are Revoked at
Whim of Officer

NEW YORK, Jan. New York
taxicab drivers are watching with
keen interest the test fight the Taxi
Mems Association is making against
Second Deputy Police Commissioner
John DAILY, license dictator. Suit has
been filed by the taxi mems, organiza-
ton in behalf of driver named Theo-
dore Zanghi, whose license was re-
voked by DAILY on the charge of the
New York Hare Chase corp. When
Zanghi paid $35 under protest for the
alleged larceny Of tools. his license
was restored.
Is Collecting Agency.
Repeated complaints of taxi drivers
have brought the editor Of Taxi
Weekly, a trade paper, into the fight
on Days abuse of power. The driv-
ers assert that Daily is acting as a col
Letting agent for the collection of
civil debts-as in the Zanghi case.
Daily is also accused by the drivers of
revolving their licenses, and thus de-
priving them of their means Of earn
ing a living, for minor offenses and
sometimes trumped up charges.
Actions Arbitrary.
The second deputy police commits
sioner Of New York City has sole
charge of licensing of hacks and cabs
DAILY, while in that Office, has made a
practice of calling drivers into his
office whenever any sort of report is
made against the worker.
The driver may or may not be given
chance to explain his side to DAILY.
Usually he is threatened and too often
actually penalized by suspension or
revocation of his driving license.

LABOR PAID THE DIVIDEND

wives and daughters OF the owners OF
the steel trust. In it are the broken
romances of young steel workers who
wish to marry and establish homes,
but who were prevented by the low
steel trust wages and the long steel
trust hours that prevailed until re-
Gently.
Hours spent by the workers in the
terrific heat of the blast furnaces; the
injured whose families were never
recompensed for their injuries re-
ceived while employed by the steel
trust; the murder Of Fannie Selllns
by steel trust thugs for her efforts
to organize the slaves of steel; the
frameups to break the unions Of the
steel workers; the sweat and blood
and toll of those who work in steel
they are in that dividend.
Newspapers will tell you about all
the stock steel trust employees own.
They count the holdings of Judge
Gary, president Of the trust, as en-
ploye stock. But they fail to mention
that the holdings of Gary and other
company officials are far more than
the stock owned by the other en-
ployes. The benefit that will accrue
to steel trust labor compared to the
benefit of a decent wage will be small
indeed.
Granting management all the credit
to which it is entitled, the fact re-
mains that labor paid the stock divi-
dend, even tho it did not declare it,
Labor will continue to pay on larger
scale in proportion to the increased
, amount of stock.
Declaring of this mammoth dividend
liscredits every statement steel trust
officials have ever made that they can
not pay higher wages and grant better
working conditions. 1t should encour-
age the steel workers to renew their
efforts for Organization.
Steel trust workers lured from other
countries by gaudy advertising must
realize again that this is wonderful
country, rich in every resource, but
that it is only wonderful for those
workers who organize and develop
sufficient power to bring the results
of their toll into pay envelopes rather
than to the declaring of stock divi-
dends that are apt to spell less re-
ward for those who toll unless they
organize and insist upon industrial
| justice.

become worse yet. In face OF this
situation no other youth organization
except the Young Communist League
fights so sincerely and theoretically
for the interests of the toiling youth.
It is the Y. G. L. that carries on a
fight against the compulsory labor
laws which are being introduced
against the young workers, against
the speed-up system, against the
Dawes plan, for youth protection laws,
against increasing the age of electors
from Is to 81, etc.
Tho Red Youth Front.
The Y. @. L. is leading quite a sue
cessful fight for the united front OF
the young workers, OF as they call 1t
in Germany, the Red Youth Front.
The new league leadership elected
at the last congress in October, 1929
had quite a hard job to start the
united front activities, after the ultra
left leader, the renegade Katz, while
one of the party leaders sent out in
structions that Communists must not
greet social-democrats or shake hands
with them, whether they are workers
or non-workers, that they must wear
red gloves when coming to meetings
OF the town councils, etc.
Correct United Front Policy.
Now, of course, the Y. @. L. has
correct united front policy, which con-
sists in leading increasing numbers OF
the toiling youth in the daily struggle
against the capitalist class. Thanks
to this correct policy, the Y. c. L.
was successful in spite of the young
socialist leaders, in forming united
front committees in the campaign for
the appropriation Of the royalty and in
sending working youth delegations to
the Soviet Union.

Union Teachers Seek
State Legislation to
Get Adequate Salary

NEW YORK, Jan. Pass the Cole
Rice bill rs the word the Union
Teacher, organ of the New York
teachers union gives city teachers
who have struggled repeatedly for pay
increases.
Only by getting state legislation Sc
curing state financial aid will the
teachers in New York City be safe in
their pay raises, the union organ
claims. Two years ago the legisla-
ture gave the teachers pay increases,
but Governor Smith vetoed the bill
on the claim that there was no money
provided and that it was up to the
city to take care of its own teachers.
The union says that the teachers pay
today is no more than in 1913, and
maybe less, with the cost Of living up.

BY IRVING M. CLAIM.

THE working masses in the after
the-world-war Germany. under the
Versailles peace treaty and the Dawes
plan, find themselves in a most de-
plorable situation. More than 2,000,-
900 are unemployed. A great number
work only part time. The German
capitalists, not satisfied with their in
creased profits thru combining them
selves into syndicates and trusts, are
also cutting wages, extending the
working hours and introducing the
speed-up system Qike we have In the
United States) in order to enrich
themselves still more.
The big agrarians even went so far
as to increase the number of their
Polish agricultural laborers to 100000
in spite of the tremendous unemploy-
ment of the German workers, just be-
cause Polish worker costs them $50
marks less. The present German gov
eminent is fully controlled by the
heavy industrialists and the big agra
ians, who use 1.-THE state power for
heir own luleTo5LS. Inc SONeIunSuJ
subsidies they get is already 1,000,-
100000 marks, while the tax burden
is borne almost solely by the toiling
masses, whose share of taxes in
creased since 1924 from "a to rs per
cent.
Y. c. L. Fights for Young Workers.
How much worse the conditions of
the young workers are L have pre-
viously mentioned in my correspond
ence from Berlin ID. W. Youth Col
umn, May 25). No changes for the
better have occurred since then. On
the contrary, the conditions of the
toiling youth, the situation of the $780,
600 unemployed young workers, have
