Two Militant Workers
May Be Deported by
Canadian Government

TORONTO, Ont, May S.-Depor-
tation is threatened by the Dominion
immigration Authorities here against
Sam Langley and Joe Farley, two
of six Communist Party members
arrested for speaking at street
meetings during the recent munich
pal elections here. The Canadian
Labor Defense is leading a fight to
prevent the possible deportation.
The prisoners are due for release
from the Toronto jail farm tomor-
row. No charge has been made
against them, and they have been
denied trial. The technical excuse
for driving them from the country
is sought by the government in the
flexible "vagrancy" laws periodical
ly used to deport militant workers.
Under existing laws Farley and
Langley, both British born, may be
deported without trial.
Both workers are incidental vic
Tins of the nationwide campaign
of red-baiting recently launched by
the Dominion government.

In the basic industries of the Chi

cater to the aristocracy of labor
alone, but will unite all workers
semi-skilled and unskilled of all
races and nationalities to fight the
bosses in their wage cutting and
speed-up campaign.
The foreign-born workers must
help to build the Cleveland Confer
ence and the new unions. We must
follow up the successful steel con-
ference in Gary and the Stock
Yards campaign in Chicago. In the
shops we must organize the workers
to send delegates. This movement
must also be supported financially.

1t is platform of struggle against
the eXploiters and their system; it
declares war upon the capitalists,
their government, their politicians,
police, courts, their exploiters
abroad, their war preparations, la
Dor bureaucrats, reformers and So
cialists.
Against LandlordiSm.
1t is the platform of the working
class, a working class which in
cludes every proletarian, white, Ne
gro, American, Polish, Irish, Chi
mesa japanese, Latin American, An
tilliaG every nationality and race
in the world. For Us the only line
is the class line, the line that sepa-
rates the mass of workers from the
clique of expioiters.
Ore Of the planks of the platform
for the class struggle is the plank
swung at the landlords and the sys-
tenn of landlordism, an integral part
of the system of capitalism.
The platform of the Communist
Party takes up the fight of the
workers in the tenements as a part
of the fight of the working class
against the capitalists in every field
of exploitation.
House Committees.
To fight effectively, organization
is necessary. Only the pressure of
the masses, organized into effec-
tive units, can wiring housing relief
from the landlords and their legisla-
ture. Only the reactionary power
CT the masses can force sanitary
conditions in the tenements, do
away with rent robbery and break
down the racial and national bar
riers put up by the exploitecs.
The immediate organization steps
that the Communist Party urges
upon the workers in the tenements
is the organization of mass tenant
leagues, based upon the organiza-
ton of house committees in the
tenements. The house committees,
acting like shop committees in the
factories, are to represent the ten
ants in dealing with the landlords,
declare rent strikes against rent
raisers and evictions when necessary
and act unitedly with The house
committees organized throughout
the city.

Our Housing Program.

The Communist Party comes be-
fore the workers of New York City
with the following program on hous-
ing for the municipal elections:
1. No segregation in housing;
the abolition of the race barriers
artificially erected and kept by the
landlords in Harlem and other sec
tions of the city where Negro work
ers are forced to live.
2. The construction of dwellings
by city ard state, rented without
profit.
8. The municipal fixing of low
rents fer workers, not to exceed 10
per cent of their wages.
4. Adequate housing of unem-
pJoyed workers and their families
by the municipality without charge.
5. Down with fake housing legis-
lation, such as the Multiple Dwell
ings Bill. and the passage of laws
which will force the landlords to
maintain the houses in sanitary
condition, provide adequate heating,
ventilation and light, laws which are
to be enforced.
6. Municipal aid for workers
building their own cooperative
apartment houses.
7. The construction of play
grounds and the maintenance of
nurseries in the working class dis
tricts by the municipal government.
BY Force of Masses.
Only the pressure of the working
masses can wiring these concessions
from the eXploiters, only mass
pressure can maintain the conces-
sions We win.
Until the time when the force of
the masses overthrows the system
of exploitation and creates work
ers' and farmers government, the
masses must force the exploiters to
grant concessions, in housing as well
as in wages, shorter hours and bet
ter conditions.
The Communist Party is the only
Party that can lead the workers eff
fectively in such struggle. Help
build. Join it now. Win new adj
herents for it. Vote Communist in
the municipal elections.
