Roger Baldwin, the petty-bour-
geois liberal, offers his lawyers and
funds to make the fight for 'free

The Roger Baldwin's how to fight
in a poliee-ruled state. The func-
ton Of the Roger Baldwin's is to
induce the workers to continue their

''The demonstration on Union
Square was a demonstration against
The brutality of the police, as tools
tools of the capitalist class. 1t was
a demonstration against the grow
ing danger of imperialist war, for
defense of the Soviet Union, against
unemployment.

New York workers who would come
to the square in anser to the call of
the Communist Party would toler-

meeting was held.

their jobs, came in thousands, and
came to the square despite the ter
rible unemployment in the city, and
with the knowledge that they were
jeopardizing their job. They showed
their solidarity with the Communist
Party and Comrade Steve Katovis
by joining the Communist Party in
scores.
"This demonstration will never be
forgotten. 1t signalizes the intensi-
fication of the struggles of the
workers. 1t is the prelude for the
gigantic demonstration that the I'M
employed workers of the country
will hold on February &c when the
unemployed assisted and supported
by the workers on the job will
demonstrate all over the world.
"Steve Katovis' name is written
into the history of the workers
struggles of this city. The workers
will remember him, and will join his
Party--the Communist Party-by
hundreds, as a demonstration Of
,eir solidarity and support of the
