NEW YORK. Jan. 10. When the
progressive workers gather in the new
Madison Square Garden, 50th street
and 9Th avenue. ON Saturday evening,
Jan. 22y to commemorate the death
OF Nicolai Lenin, 1t will be more than
to pay tribute to the leader and guide
Of the Russian Revolution, and be-
loved master of the workers OF the
world. This year the Lenin Memoir
ial meeting has more significance to
the workers of New York than at any
other time since 1924.
Never before in the history of the
New York labor movement have the
progressive workers of this city been
subjected to such bitter and vicious
attacks on the part of the enemies of
labor as at the present time. The
general onslaught against militant
trade unionism and the policies OF
class struggle which is now being
carried on in the United States has
been conferred on New York, particu-
larly against the needle trades work
ers who have been following a left
wing leadership. *
Immense Meeting.

progressive workers of this city, the

. Suggestion for
the Upbuilding of
The Daily Worker

A worker correspondent in Alton,
Minnesota, sends in the following
suggestion for other workers to in
crease the number OF readers of The
DAILY WORKER: He writes:
II have been trying out a little plan
to teach progressive friends with The
DAILY WORKER, and l thought l
would pass it along to you.
THE thought comes to me that
there are great number of progress
sive workers who would become read
ers of The DAILY WORKER if they
came in contact with it. So here is
how make use of my DAILY
WORKERS. write this note on the
top of page one: please hand me to
a progressive friend" / then hand
these marked copies TO my personal
progressive friends, with a request
that they pass it on to another friend.
"This has started some of my
friends to read The DAILY WORKER.
Some have sent in for extra copies;
others have ordered books, and still
others have started to talk about a
real Farmer-Labor party.

Spartacus was responsible for this
war strategy. He alone never lost
his head and called his men conttnu-
ously and with obstinate bravery to
the struggle, for he believed in the
success of his cause.
After he had gathered thousands OF
slaves under his flag, he descended in
to the plain and spread fear and dis
may amongst the Roman patricians.
These sent their most capable gen
erals and their best legions against
Spartacus, but all proved themselves
helpless against these "barbarians,"
who fought for their freedom.
NOR ten long years Spartacus and
l. his fellows carried on the strug-
gle against the might of Rome.
Thousands of gladiators who had
fought for their freedom, persisted.
Spartacus himself died the death of
a hero in the unequal struggle
against the more powerful army. AL
most all the gladiators and many,
many slaves were killed.
MORE than two Thousand years
1N1 have passed since then. The rich
do not like anything TO be written
about Spartacus. One can find in no
history book section devoted to this
great man. This comes from the faCt
that the struggle Spartacus started
continues today, though in a some
what different form. Then slaves. who
could be bought and sold like chatteis.
fought. Today, proletarians hght, who
are bought by the capitalists and at
the first chance flung on the streets
and left to starve.
In Russia the workers have flung OF
the yoke of the rich. They have built
workers and peasants government.
In Germany in 1919, the workers
stood before the same fight. The lead
ers Of this struggle were the Comma-
mist workers, who had already, on the
outbreak of the revolution In Berlin,
fought on the barricades and carried
the name Of Karl Liebknecht who ts
known all over the world amongst
class-conscious workers as that Of the
Modern Spartacus. He too, Hike Spar
tacus, died at the hands Of his euem-
les. 1t was at the end Of the famous
and heroic revolt of the workers in
Berlin known as "Spartacus Week,
when he was taken unarmed and
cruelty murdered by the officers Of the
German government.
This name Spartacus is holy bor al
fighters in the cause Of freedom and
it arouses the fear of all exploiters.
We young Communist comrades will
take 1t with pride and we will show
that we are worthy to bear the great
name-"Spartacus!"

Build the Front Against Wall Street

The situation requires immediate
action. The only force that can Of

perialist adventures of Wall Street

ments among the workers and farm

awaken now and face the situation. 1t
must act before it is too late and we
find ourselves involved in another
bloody war for the sake of the Sc
curity of Wall Streets profits.
The Workers (Communist) Party
has seen the danger and has called
upon all labor to unite to demand
hands off Mexico, Nicaragua and Chi
ma. We do not expect that the lead
ership of every one of the organiza-
tons to whom the appeal of the Work
ers CCommunist) Party is addressed
will respond with any great enthusi-
asm or militancy. We know too well
that the foreign policies Of the A. #.

guised way, of the Socialist Party Of
ficialdom have always been a faith
ful reflection OF the policies of Wall
Streets government. But we expect
that the imminent danger and the
flagrantly imperialistics direction of
Coolidge's policies will awaken to con-
sciousness and action tens and hun.

9rs and farmers who will, thru rank

The call of the Workers (Commu-
nist) Party to worker and farmer or
CARNATIONS of this country for united
action against the Wall Street policies
of the American government as mani
tested in the imperialist attacks on
Nicaragua, Mexico, and China puts
The question squarely before Ameri-
can labor.
There can be no two opinions as
to the significance of these events. In
the most brazen and undisguised way
the American government is following
the instructions of Wall Street and is
attempting to suppress the move
ments for emancipation in Latin-Ame-
RIGA and in China. In Nicaragua, KEEL
logg and Coolidge are supporting with
armed force the reactionary puppet
of Wall Street, Diaz, against a rising
tide of popular revolt. And the rea-
son is brazenly announced. We must
maintain the security of American in
vestments.
This move against Nicaragua is in
part also a demonstration against
Mexico which is fostering and sup
porting all movements in Latin-Ameri-
ca against United States Imperialism.
Mexico is threatened and even more
than threatened with armed force be-
cause it has dared to limit the exploit
alton carried on by American oil com.
panies, American mining companies
and American land companies con
trolled by the great Wall Street
| banks.
Intervention in favor of Wall
Streets investments is also being
planned in China as is evidenced by
the concentration Of American war
ships in that quarter. The victorious
progress of the Chinese national re
volution towards emancipation from
the yoke of imperialist oppression has
frightened Wall Street and caused il
to worry about the regular flow OF IT.
