Letter From Hindus.
The following letter from the Hin
dustan Gadar Party was read at the
meeting.
Dear Comrades:
We mourn with you the loss of
Comrade c. E. Ruthenberg, the Cen
eral Secretary Of the Workers Com
munist) Party Of America. He was
the leader of the revolutionary work
ers in the United States. He was
also the leader in the struggle
against Imperialism, particularly
against British imperialism. India is
under the yoke of British imperial
ism. 1t is only the revolutionary
workers who can really aid the OPP
pressed nations. Their loss is our
loss.
The oppressed nations Of the world
look upon the revolutionary workers
of the world to assist them in freeing
themselves from their oppressoTs, the
imperialists. In the death of Com
rade Ruthenberg we have lost a great
friend who had always taken the side
Of the oppressed peoples.
Successful Conclusion.
We know that his work in the rev.
dictionary movement win inspire the
members of the Workers (Com-
munist) Party and that they will
carry on to a successful conclusion
the work which. he started.
His death calls upon all of US for
renewed activity in order to fill the
gap caused by his untimely death.
Fraternally,
(Signed) Munsha Sungh,
Secretary.

izer Of the Workers (Communist)
Party compared Ruthenberg as a
leader of the workers with Powder
ley of the knights of Labor, De Leon
of the socialist labor party and Debs
of the socialist party showing that
Ruthenberg as a former member Of
the socialist party and late member
of the Communist Party was the true
leader of the workers, and the one
whose passing will be most deplored.
Revolutionary Music.
A trio gave fine program Of rev.
dictionary and classical music APP
propriate to the occasion. A number
of Ruthenberg's books and pamphlets
were sold and substantial collec-
ton taken. One young man signed
an application to join the Workers
(Communist) Party.

les LEGACY.

Workers Party, Yonkers, n. "
Words and expressions are entirely
too pale to express our deep and
painful feeling on account Of the
sudden death Of our great leader and
teacher, next TO Comrade Lenin, Com
rade Charles f. Ruthenberg who de-
parted from us in the prime of his
life and glorious achievements in the
building of the Workers Com
munist) Party of America. We miss
him immensely and hereby unani-
mously accept the legacy left to us
by him, his will pronounced just be-
fore he died. We accept it and swear
to fulfill his last words, "LET'S
FIGHT ON"
The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1927-03-25

for some time.
Excuse For Smelling.
The excuse for the lombard
ment was that several American
and British foreigners were
killed by the Nationalist troops,
but it is more likely that north
ern troops were using the Bri-
fish and American possessions
as bases of operations against
the Nationalist and that the
latter attempted to dislodge
them.
There is no attempt to conceal the
chagrin Of the imperialists over the
fall Of the cities of Marking and Chin
Siang. Only yesterday the report was
spread that the northerners had won
a big victory and that the National
lists were forced 10 retreat twenty
miles from Marking with heavy loss
es.
The Nationalists now have virtual
control over the entire Yangtse val
ley.
