of the Nicaraguan independence
movement and demand the immediate
withdrawal of battleships and mar
ines. We pledge support to Gen. San
dino and hope that he may be vic
torious in his fight against Wall
Street rule"
John Williamson, district organizer
of the Young Workers (Communist)
League, told of Lenin's attitude
towards war. eff we do not reach the
youth with our message" said Will
hanson, "they will become the basis
of an American fascist organization.
Chinese Speaker Cheered.
P. T. Lau, of the Hands Off China
Committee, Philadelphia, was the
next speaker. When introduced by
Weinstone he was greeted by tremen-
dous applause.
Lau told of the memorial meeting
held in Canton, China, four years
ago when Lenin died. Also how Sun
Yat-sen, the founder of the Chimes
Nationalist movement, paid homage
to Lenin and urged his followers to
follow his teachings.
"The temporary defeat of the
Chinese revolution" continued Lau,
"is evidence that any deviation from
Leninism spells failure to revolution.
Sun Yet-sen learned from Lenin that
the imperialists are the greatest
enemies of the Chinese masses, the
militarists only being their pawns." "
When Lau finished his speech a
resolution was passed unanimously to
demand the withdrawal of United
States battleships and marines from
China.
M. ]. Olgin, member of the Central
Committee, Workers (Communist)
Party and editor of "The Hammer"
Jewish Communist monthly, said that
Lenin was "buried four years ago
but is still alive in the historical
events of the last four years. Lenin
lives in the Chinese revolution, in the
dissatisfaction of millions of colonial
peoples. Lenin lives with the small
group of patriots in Nicaragua under
General Sandino; Lenin lives in the
struggle of the miners of Pennsyl-
vania, Ohio and Colorado"
During Lovestone's speech 20 men,

William z. Foster, member of the
Party's political committee and secre-
tary of the Trade Union Educational
League, pointed out that the trade
unions of the United States have been
losing position during the last few
years.
"The so-called labor leaders," he
continued, "are working hand and
glove with the bosses and the govern
nlent against the workers"
Foster then pointed out that the
United Mine Workers Union, the
largest in America, has been broken
by the policy pursued by John L.
Lewis.
Gle has destroyed the union in the
key districts of Ohio and Pennsyl-
vania," he added.
After saying that more than 3,000,-
900 in the United States are now job
less, Foster made plea for the for
nation of labor party to fight for
the rights of the workers.
Robert Minor, editor of The DAILY
| WORKER, pointed out that Lenin
was the greatest leader of the work
ers in their fight for power. "He
knew how to transform the imperial
list war into a class war;" continued
Minor, "and successfully to lead the
i revolutionary struggle which founded
the Union of Socialist Soviet Repub-
lies. Another world war is coming.
When the time arrives we must raise
! Lenin's slogan: Turn the imperialist
war between nations into class war
against the capitalists rule The
next world war will result in the for
nation of several new Soviet Repub-
lies on the ruins of capitalist states.
eff you want to honor I.enin, join
his party, and we will orgarize So
cialist Soviet Republic in America in
the years to come!"
In opening the meeting Weinstone
district organizer of the New York

Party, said, "In commemorating the

indicated at least in part in the pres

Practically every right which or

half-century of struggle is at stake
in this hearing. The l. R. 7. specifi-
cally aims to make it criminal act

ated with the A. F. of l.. to attempt
to organize the New York traction
workers. The trade union movement
will be outlawed if the l. R. 7. sue

Justice Wasservogel is to decide
likewise on the question of the legal
ity of the "yellow dog" contract, the
issue between the company union and
the legitimate union and on the ques-
tion of the spy system which forms
the main support of the Interborough
company union.
Announcement was made yesterday
at the headquarters of the Amalga-
mated Union, Continental Hotel,
Broadway and 41st St., that the legal
ity of the individual yellow dog"
contract would form the center of
attack by the Amalgamated counsel.
AS result of the long standing
engagement on the legal field the
whole issue has been sidetracked into
