CANTON COMMUNE

D e f e n d the Chinese
Revolution /!

NEW YORK. - A meeting to COM
memorate the Canton Commune and
oppose the imperialist war moves
against the Chinese Revolution and
the Soviet Union will be held this
Saturday evening, Dec. IL, at Irving
Plaza, 18th Street and Irving Place.
The meeting will be addressed by
Chine e, Japanese and other speak
ers.
December 18th is the Fourth An
niversary of the heroic uprising of
the Chinese workers and peasants
who proclaimed the Canton Com
mune. They tore down the treach-
erous flag of the Kuomintang--the
flag with the blue sky and white sun
sustained in the toilers blood. In
its place, over the revolutionary town
they hoisted up the Red Flag with
a hammer and sickle, the flag of the
Sovietc.
The Canton Commune was drown
ed in blood by the Kuomintang and
imperial t reaction, but the seeds
sown by the Canton Commune have
borne fruits. Today, one-sixth of
China proper is now under the flag
of Soviets, with population of over
60 million. The Soviet Republic of
China has been established as revo-
lutionary counter-pole to the Kuo-
mintang government and world i'm
perialism.
Make December 18th a day of strug-
gle against imperialist war, against
racial terror and day of solidarity
with the workers of the colonial coun-
tries.

See Tonight How
A Typical Family
Lives in u. s. s. R,

NEW Marcel Scherer, Ma
tional Secretary Of the Friends of
the Soviet Union, will lecture tonight
at pm using the "Phillipov Slides. /"
The lecture will take place at Irving
Plaza, Irving Place and 18th Street.
Scherer's lecture will deal with a
theme involving every day life of an
average family in the Soviet Union.
This subject has lately gained the
widest popularity in Europe through
the publication in the "AJZ," an il
Illustrated Berlin F.S.U. magazine, of
''The Life Of the PhilIpov Family"
The Phillipov slides portray wildly
the rising of that family early one
morning and its completion of the
DAY and night. The audience is given
an opportunity to observe at close
range Soviet Unoin life, as it really
runs its daily course; at home, in
the factory, school, recreation, at
tending to social duties and rest.
In Europe, and particularly in Ger
many, the slides have created a ire
n1endous sensation among the toll
ing masses.

Negro workers, Orphan Oee) Jones

the rank and ffle to elect a committee

also to fight against the terrible con-

The officials fearing the rank and

stop the rank and file from taking
action against the officialdom of the

tried every way to keep the rank

the speakers proposed the program of

Bars Workers at
Frame-Up Trials
|. L. D. Calls for Mass
Pressure Today

NEW YORK. = The New York
District International Labor Defense
calls upon each and every worker on
Thursday morning, December 10th
to appear in Part No. 7 of General
Sessions Court for admittance to the
trial of Comrades Warf1eld, Brown,
Williams and Campbell who are being
tried on framed-up charges concocted
by the notorious Grant of the Uni
yer al Negro Improvement Associ-
alton.
The charges grew directly out of
the campaign last spring in which
the Unemployed Councils Of Harlem,
the L. S. N. R. and the I. L. D. thru
ly exposed Grant and his organization
as misleaders of the Negro masses.
Squirming in the witness chair,
Grant brought forth lie after lie in
his attempt to build UP the case
against these workers. The Attorney
for the Defen e, Jacques Buitenkant
broke down story after story in his
questioning of the witness.
AS a part of the whole game to
put over the frame-up, the court has
refused admittance into the court
room of those workers who came there
to hear the proceedings. Question
ing by three officers of the police dept.
for no less than five minutes wa the
experience of those who tried to get
in. Many became discouraged and
left. +
The only way to break down this
procedure is for all workers to come
to the court on Thursday morning
and demand the right to enter. The
court room is located at Center and
Franklin SITS. near Broadway.

Laundry Union Called
for Tonight 8 P. M.

The Bosses of the Active Laundry
608 Wales Ave. have served a num-
Der Of officials and members of the

granted, will prevent the Union from
picketing, canvassing the customers,
talking to the scabs, holding street
meetings or car parades with signs
announcing the strike, or in any

mess" of the Active Laundry.
In order to get the injunction the
bosses forced the scabs to swear out
affidavits that they are satisfied with
conditions and that they were threat
ened if they scabbed.
One of the charges against the I'M
ion is that it is not affiliated with
the American Federation of Labor
and that it is closely connected with
the Communists that it advertises in
the Daily Worker, from which the
bosses reproduce some articles, and
that other workers who were not en-
ployed there including women, are
picketing in front of the Active
Laundry.
The hearing for the injunction is
set for December II. The injunction
was served by the lawyer of the As
ISOLATION, Bluestone, and Steinhorn,
President of the Association who is
also owner of the Sterling Laundry,
Park Ave. and 167 st. 1t is worth
