NEW YORK-The Central Com
mittee has authorized an 8-day drive
for the New York Workers Center.
This drive will open with a banquet
on January 18th and will continue
with 7 day bazaar. All sections,
Sections Units, Unions, Labor and

moving into the building.
The growth of the left wing move
ment necessitates the concentration
of the work into one center. While
the Central Committee secured the

workers give it every support and
help to bring it into shape so that
the work of the revolutionary in
stitutions shall not be hampered.
All organizations should send their
donations to this banquet, and the
workers in the shops and factories
should donate money and articles to
this bazaar in order to complete the
building which will serve the rev.

The march will start at p. m.

statement addressed to all workers

points out that the common council
has once more refused to act on the
demands of the jobless.
Scares Capitalist Liars.
The statement says: "The refusal
of the capitalist class and its local
government to act on the burning
question of insurance and relief for
the unemployed workers, against
evictions and for free gas and cleo
tricity for the jobless must be chal-
lenged by the organized strength of
the workers. The workers must show
by their actions that they refuse to
starve amidst plenty or exist on the
crumbs of charity thrown to them"
The statement exposes whole year
of lying to the jobless by the bosses
and tire city government here, and
the latest fake relief plan, the Lib
erty Loan Scheme" which proposes
to make those still working cut their
wages so the bosses will not have
to support the jobless.
The committee to the common
council will report back to a great
mass meeting Tuesday at Miller Hall,

workers and jobless are invited.

Tammany Bank Robbers Fear
Truth: Rush Red Frame-Up
Post Admits Truth of
Worker" Story;
Omits Names

NEW YORK.-As time drags ON
without any reports from Broderick,
Tammany henchman, and State
Superintendent of Banks, on the in
side facts of robbery in the Bank of
the United States and the Chelsea
Bank g. Trust Co., which deprived
100000 depositors of the money they
put into these banks, totalling more
than $300,000,000, the campaign
against the Communists, engineered
by the Tammany bank officials, and
taken up by Fish, Broderick, Grain
and others, is being intensified.
The capitalist press in New York
and elsewhere print long stories
charging nearly all bank crashes to
"Red activities"
Hot Air.
The charges, consisting of lot of
hot air, go SO far as to charge the
Soviet Union with engineering the
bank crashes. AS the crisis goes,
undermining bank after bank, rob-
bling millions of workers and poor
farmers of their savings and bring
ing them closer to starvation, the
capitalist press is attempting to stir
up red hysteria in order to keep
back the workers anger and indigna-
ton against the capitalists.
Post Little Late.
A glimmering of what is back of
it all is contained in the New York
Evening Post, Friday. This capitalist
sheet prints in yelled form what
the Daily Worker published as news
nearly two weeks ago, namely, that
the Tammany grating politicians
are neck deep in the robbery which,
together with the crisis, resulted in
the crash of the Bank of the United
States.
