in the suppression of over 200 cul-
tural organizations of the working
class youth and the confiscation of
their property Numerous workers
have been arrested. At present pro-
ceedings are taking place against
80 workers and 80 workers are in
prison for inquiries. The editors of
working-class newspapers are beinS
prosecuted and two newspapers have
been suppressed for two months.
IN Marcn the fascist organizations
and the delegate of the "civic meet
ings" held a national congress which
demanded severe repressive mea-
sures against the working-class
movement, "the expulsion of the
Communists from parliament inside
"a hours" the dissolution of parlia-
ment, the suppression of Communist
electoral lists and the calling of a
new parliament to work out more
effective laws against the Commu.
mist movement. The new fascist or
ganization, diminish Burg" was
also founded at this congress. This
new organization carried out the de-
structive raid on the workers press
in Vasa.
Fascism is making rapid progress
in Finland and the last remnants of
bourgeois democracy are being wiped
out. One of the main reasons for
the present situation is the stead
lily growing economic crisis. Unem-
ployment is increasing and the pro-
cess of rehabilitation is going on
rapidly amongst the workers and
| poor peasants. The bourgeoisie is
increasing its repressive measures
and taking resort to fascism,
whereby the social-fascists are rem
dering assistance. The strengthen
ing of fascism means the strength
ening of the danger of war against
| the Soviet Union.

Smash Detroit Deadline.
DETROIT, Mich, April 27.-The
workers of Detroit will demonstrate
on the streets on May Day. The
city authorities have been compelled
to grant a permit. Despite the
vicious city ordinance which pro-
hibits all meetings within one mile
of the City Hall the Communist
Party and the striking and jobless
workers will demonstrate by tens of
thousands at Cass Park, opposite the
Masonic Temple and within the one
mile limit.
This victory was gained by the
heroic battles of the 100000 March
6 demonstrators, in the face of po-
lice terror, and is guaranteed by
such militancy as has been shown
by the 10000 jobless demonstrating
before the Ford plant.
The Communist Party states:
"This victory will not fool the
workers. The terror of the bosses,
which is expressed every day in the
arrest and brutal beatings of work
ers, will not disappear. On the con-
trary, they are increasing, as does
the militancy and fighting spirit of
the workers and the growth of the
workers organizations, particularly
the Trade Union Unity League and
the Communist Party. We will in
tensify the building workers de-
Tense corps to protect the workers

sion to the evening meeting is 25

(Written In PRISON.

Never was there a better situation
for making the Daily Workers a
mass paper-a paper of and for the
masses. The workers know the
Daily Worker and with the increased
pressure put upon them by the
bosses recognize the need of it.
The Daily Worker is fast be-
coming a paper meeting the needs
of the working class. More and
more shop workers are writing for
it-and more would, if we could
make the workers understand what
shop correspondents are, ard that
the Daily Workers is looking for,
eager to publish news from the
shops. This will make the Daily
Workers living, vital thing in the
lives of the workers-and they will
work it.
Now is the time, as never before,
for taking the Daily Worker to all
shop gates, to sell, distributed and
get subs. There is great discomfort
in. the shops and the. Daily Worker
is the only paper (outside of the
other Party parers) which express
es this discomfort.
Now is the time for the whole
membership to participate in the
Red Sundays-but also making these
Sundays every day. A comrade who
was put in Jail few days ago told
me about getting subs for the Daily
Worker a week ago. He went from

This was the most enthusiastic
shop gate meeting yet held at the
Milwaukee shop, where the T. U. U,

establish a shop committee. With
only one-half hour for lunch, the
workers listened until the very last
