weeks when I got the air. First
they cut the hours down and were
working a five-day week, with no
Saturday work (workers paid accord
ingly). They continued this five
day week and business got worse
all the time, so they started laying
off the higher paid workers.
They put less skilled workers in
the places of these men, but they
received the same wages as ever,
even though the work they did was
worth more money. For instance,
an $18 a week helper would do a
$50 week pressman's work for the

pretense that the law is "fair" and

show themselves worthy of our

LONDON, Jan. 30.-Even at the

YOUNG COMMUNIST INT.
ISSUES CALL AGAINST
WALL ST. -RUBIO GOVT
Shows Young Communist League of Mexico Is
Fighting Mexican Militarism
Calls for Fight Against Mexican White Terror
and Arrest of Young Workers

The Executive Committee of the
Young Communist International has
issued the following appeal to the
Young Communists and the young
workers of all countries:
To Young Communists and to the
Young Workers Of the Whole
World.
A wave of reaction against the
revolutionary movement has been
launched in Mexico. Many comrades
have been murdered, all the Central
Committee and other comrades of
our Young Communist League have
been thrown into prison.
The Calles-Rubio government, the
petty bourgeois government which
has capitulated before the latifund-
lists (plantation owners) and the
clergy, the government Of the coun-
ter-revolutionary bloc is using in the
service of American imperialism all
the most reactionary methods, in the
attempt to destroy our organiza-
tons, to arrest the ever-growing de-
velopment of our movement.
The economic and political con-
tradictions of the Mexican bour-
geoisie are still more aggravated
by the ever-growing violence of the
penetration Of the imperialist colo
nists on the one hand, and by the
strengthening Of the revolutionary
spirit of the masses which is ex-
pressed by the development. Of the
anti-imperialist movement, in an
ever-growing process of revolution

tension of Communist influence on
the working masses Of all Latin
America on the other hand, and

acter of the Calles-Rubio govern
ment, the old representative Of the
revolutionary petty bourgeois.
The Communist youth Of Mexico
has lately shown great activity in
the strengthening of its ranks. 1t
has put itself truly at the head of
the young workers in the anti-im-
perialist struggle, it has developed
great anti-militarist activity

Tens of Thousands Penniless.
More than 10000 city workers are
unpaid. The Thomson gang Of poll
ticians have been pocketing millions
of dollars for over ten years. They
have piled up a debt of over $780,
900, 1000, and now the judges Of the
city courts, most of whom are part
of the Thompson grating machine,
are ordering the city workers who
do not pay rent because they re-
ceive no money for their work,
evicted from their homes.

The Rent Court is filled to over

workers who are getting notices to
get out of their homes because of

years have so many cases been on
the docket in the Rent Court.
Thousands of workers children

Hundreds of firemen's families are
suffering severely because the Fire
mems Pension Board, which is tied
up with the grafters of the Thomp-
son gang, has not been able to raise
the $4,000 which is due for pen
sions.
Meanwhile, the imperialist bank
ers in Chicago, headed by Silas H.
Strawn and James Simpson, are
maneuvering for political control,
against the Thompson Republicans.
With the vast army of the great
industrial center of Chicago growing
rapidly, the formation of Council
Of the Unemployed is imperative
and immediate. The Trade Union
Unity League, in its call for the
organization of such councils, points
out that the organization Of the I'M
employed is a part of the basic work
of Organizing the Unorganized,
made more acutely necessary by the
terrible needs of the workers now
enduring an economic crisis which
will not end even with the winter,
but which must be fought against
on a permanent, organized basis.
With the struggle of the unem-
ployed themselves, the workers still
employed at the factories, should be
linked up in solid fight against
the speed-up, for shorter hours,
against wage cuts, and a united
struggle of the whole working class
carried on daily at the factory gates,
which the whole working class to
be rallied for the great demonstra-

Dor bureaucrats and against the So
cialist fascists who are shielding the
bosses against the arising onslaught
OF the workers. During and after
the uprising of the Arabian masses
in Palestine against British imper-
lalist and its aid, Zionism, the
Morning Freiheit, under the leader
ship Of the Party, helped to mobilize
the masses against the tide of
chauvinism and nationalism that
was threatening the sweep the Jew
ish working masses. The Morning
Freiheit was attacked by the united
front of the Jewish bourgeoisie ex-
tending from the large scale CAPT
talists and down to the so-called
radical nationalists who had even
been pretending sympathy with the
Left wing labor movement. The
F'reiheit was made the object Of
physical assaults, of boycott, of
campaign to withdraw the advertise
nents and of attempts to throttle
the paper altogether.
Very Active.
"In the present struggles, as the
strike of the shoe workers, the mob
ilization of the needle workers for
new struggles the struggle around
the murder of Comrade Katovis, as
we'll as in the Party recruiting cam
paign, the Morning Freiheit has
been one of the most active instru-

"But because of the rising wave
Of the revolutionary labor movement
and because the bourgeoisie the la
Dor takers and all other social fas-

class struggle of the workers, the
Morning Freiheit has suffered greet
financial losses and is now compelled
once more to appeal to the working
masses for funds.
"The Central Committee fully en-.

organizer to mobilize the Jewish
Fractions to carry on the campaign
and to transform it into a mass
movement reaching to the broadest
Jewish workers. A Freiheit Cam
paign Committee should be organized
by the Jewish Fractions in every
city with the assistance of the DO.
All Party units are instructed to
help the campaign Of the Jewish
Fractions in reaching the largest
possible number Of Jewish workers.
Comrades, the situation Of the
Morning Freiheit at present is very
critical, and unless aid is rushed i'm
mediately it is in danger of not be-
ing able to pass the present crisis.
at must be remembered, however,
that the basis Of the Morning Fret
heit is sound, that tens of thousands
of Jewish workers are looking upon
the Morning Freiheit as their col
lective organizer and agitator, and
that the Freiheit has every POSSIBLE
ity to continue its activities if it is
helped to get out of the present
crisis.
The Party needs the Morning Frei-
heit, and no effort should be spared
to save it in the present emergency.
