The bosses and the police decided
to turn us into police auxiliaries, to
use as part Of Whalen's special
squad of stool pigeons and spies in
the labor movement. This is what
he meant, short time ago, when
he spoke about an honor roll for
drivers who cooperate with the po-
lice.
"The Whalen decree is part Of
the drive to make our conditions
worse, to keep us from organizing
for better conditions and use us out
in the fight between the manufac-
turers and independent fleet owners.
The fleet owners paid $4,000 to the
A. F. of L. officials to organize us
into a company union. Why are
the fleet owners paying Mr.. Breg-
man, Martin and Cannon to organ
ize US? Why are the fleet owners
passing out circulars and calling
meetings in their garages for the
A. F. of L.? Since when are bosses
organizing their own men into a
union? The mere fact that the
bosses are using all their power to
organize US into the A. F. Of L.
shows that Mr.. Bregman, Cannon
and the rest Of them are agents of
the bosses. They are organizing a
scab company union.

MASS MEET TO
EXPOSE MEXICO
SOVIET B REAK
Call Mass Meeting For
February 3

Added interest to the mass
demonstration called for this Mon,
day night, February 8, at p. M.
at Central Opera House, 9th st
and Third Ave-, by the Communist
Party is lent by the events that have
developed in connection with Mexi-
co.'s open alliance with Wall St.
against the U.S.S.R.
According to a statement issued
by foreign minister, Estrada OF
Mexico, the break in relations with
the Soviet Union was caused by the
discovery of a number of foreign
agents of Russian origin whom the
Mexican government has deported
or imprisoned, as matter of fact,
the announcement of the origins of
the victims of the Mexican white
terror clearly exposes the lies OF
the government. The deportees SO
far have the following national orr
gins: One Argentinian, one Italian,
six Cubans, one Gillian, one Ru-
manian, and one Bolivian. The ma
tionalities of those imprisoned are
native Mexicans.
The revolutionary movement of
Mexico is composed Of Mexicans and
other Latin-Americans. More clearly
than ever do the facts now show
that the break of relations with the
Soviet Union by the Mexican gov
eminent was a stab aimed at the
Latin American workers and peas
ants revolutionary movement, as
we'll as the U.S.S.R.
Izvestia, prominent U.S.S.R. news
paper, exposed this fact by printing
a statement issued yesterday by the
Soviet Union foreign office which
says: "There is no doubt whatever
that the Mexican breach of rela-
tons was dictated by the State De-
partment. -. The United States re-
CARDS the entire American continent
as their colony. Therefore, it may
be supposed that Washington, by
giving orders to the Mexican gov
eminent concerning their policy in
regards to the Soviet Union, wishe .
to obliterate any sign Of political in
dependence, thus demonstrating to
the entire world the influence of
the United States on the American
continent. Such demonstration is
useful just at the moment when sshe
London conference is arranging an
imperialist redistribution of the
earth"
Communist Party speakers, in
GLIDING M. j. Olgin, Jorge Pas, John
Williamson, at Kaplan, Anton Mo-
ran, Anna Damon and others will
expose the whole conspiracy which
the United States government is
Matching against our workers faith
erland, the Soviet Union, and will
show the link which the break in
relations by Mexico with the Soviet
Union is in that conspiracy.

described to members OF the

yesterday in the Hotel May
flower, by Robert J Peters, Of
the United States Employment
Service.
Since July / more than 100
veterans have been placed in the

said. He explained that pros
pective employers within geo
graphical areas covered by the
departments branch offices were
canvassed with q different appeal
than had been followed sometimes
to find work for veterans
Employers are asked to hire
the men If they have work and
providing that the ex-Service men
are capable, according to Peters.
He declared that the appeal car
ried with it no allusion to patri-
otic service and duty. Disabled
men were sent out with a full
statement of their disabilities
and capacities for work. Peters
predicted that this new activity
would place a large number of
unemployed ex-Service men in
gainful and pleasant work.
