Sustaining Council which meets
regularly the first Sunday of the
month";" he writes. 1--WE now have
over 30 delegates definitely affiI-
lated with the Council, and num-
Der of organizations represented by
these delegates have already or
dered bundles, donated money, ar
ranged for affairs, ETC."
In addition, the report informs us
that organizations are voluntarily
contributing monthly utilization
fee. One delegate is receiving the
Daily twice MONTHS copies, and
sells these papers at the American
Federation of Labor local union
meetings. The Council is initiating
a campaign for greetings to the Daily

enough funds to get at least 10000
copies of that edition.

This final stage in the evolution
Of the so-called Socialist organiza-
ton determines the political and cri-
minal responsibility and the degree
OF dangerousness of the defendants.
They must be dealt with as the
most dangerous of the white ele-
ments. We must decide on the maxi
mum measures to safeguard the
country, to impress those who still
support them.
Thereafter, Krylenko made de-
mands for the extreme penalties,
concluding:
Let the capitalist press and the
Second International lie about your
severe sentences. The workers of
the world supported us thirteen
years, and they will respond to your
words with the truth which will
penetrate all barriers and obstacles,
to the knowledge Of the toiling mill
lions.

blow in the defense of the Socialist
construction, and for the cause o,

Anti-ImperialiSt
Exhibit Arranged;
Ask for Material
To Combat Imperialist
Exhibit In May

BERLIN.-An anti-imperialist eX-
hibit is being arranged by the League
Against Imperialism in Berlin and
Paris in May, 1881, to offset the In
ternationaI Colonial Exhibition to be
arranged by the French, British, Bel
gian, Dutch, Portuguese, Japanese and
American imperialists in Paris be-
ginning in May of this year and last
ing to october. The imperialists are
arranging this exhibit to cover up
their murderous policy in the COL
onies, and to nislead the workers as
to the true role of the inperiaist
powers.
To combat this the League Against
Imperialism is calling upon all its Sec
tons to aid in arranging a real anti
imperiaist acknowledgements of
the treatment Of the colonial masses;
documents showing exploitation;
workers and peasants newspapers
and propaganda material, and all
such exhibits as will show the real
conditions of the colonial masses, as
well as the purpose Of imperiaist
rule.
Every worker who has any such
material should forward it to the
League Against Imperialism, Interna-
tional Secretariat, "a F'riedrichstrasse
Berlin, s. w. 4S. In circular issued
to all its sections, the League Against
Imperialism appealing for this ma
terial says:
"The League Against Imperialism
which is the only international or
ganization that devotes itself to the
struggle of the oppressed masses of
the colonial countries, has resolved to
organize counter-exhibit, an inter-
national anti-imperiahst exhibition,
to be held in Paris during the period
of the So-called International Col
onial Exhibition" In spite of the
very short time at our disposal to
carry through the work of collecting
and organizing vast material neces-
Sary for the success of the proposed
exhibition, the International Secre-
tariat of the League Against Imper-
ialism has requested the French Sec
ton of the League to open the Anti
Imperialist Exhibition even on small
scale, on or about the same date as
the Colonial Exhibition" that is, in
May, 1881.
All workers are called upon to aid
in the arrangements for this exhibit
ton.

has were only for drought-stricken
farmers. The starving miners are
asking where the money goes, be-
cause it has been reported to them
that the starving farmers are re-

supply inspectors, who quiz the work
ers every week as to how many hours
they work and the pay they receive.
The workers thinking they are here
to relieve conditions are ready to
give them the desired information,
which is brought to the officials of
the company, who fire those who
have told too much and the company
promises the others better conditions
which have not as yet been started.
They are trying to prevent the
workers from organizing the Food
Workers Industrial Union, which
they can't do, since the workers are
tired of the rash promises and are
beginning to organize, against these
wage cuts and the other rotten con-
ditions of this slave institution.

have been receiving letters showing
a few facts and figures, letters which
request regular payments for Daily
Workers received. One district has
replied, showing its willingness to pay
the bills, but adopting the wrong
methods.
From San Antonio, Texas, we re-
ceived the following from Alma
Krause:
please cancel at once the bundle
order of so Daily Workers coming
to George P. We will still be get
ting the bundle of five that comes
for Sam S. and until we build
up our organization this will be all
we can handle. Just as soon as
we possibly can will order a bundle
that we know we can handle and
pay for. AS to the amount we owe
now, will try and send something
every week until it is paid up"
The way to pay our bills is to
SELL the Daily WorkerI Unem-
ployed workers in San Antonio should
be drawn into selling the paper most
of their time, earning their expenses.
Units, even if they sell only one
third of their bundle, still cover the
price of the number they receive and
have no excuse, therefore, for cut
ting orders. And if the amount
owed for the "Daily" cannot be paid
at once, Daily Worker affair to
raise a substantial sum should be
arranged.
This letter from San Antonio
shows marked difference from
the one received a month ago
from George p, who wrote: "While
we have just started to do real
Party work here, we see the i'm
portance of Daily Workers. l.. The
unit decided that we get so copies
every day and put unemployed
workers to sell them" Evidently
the comrades in Texas have failed
to build good apparatus among
the jobIess workers, and should
remedy the situation from that
end, instead of cutting their bundle
order to 5.

1.-THE Murphy Unemployment Com

Petros, describing conditions under
which workers are forced to work
in ice water in the River Rouge
Canal before they get their "gro-

II have become a member of the
Daily Worker Red Builders Club,
and Il shall distribute the Daily

them to demand sufficient relief,
and to demand that forced labor
be stopped"
This is the first word received from
the Detroit Red Builders recently

A Daily Worker Builder, Ira A.

spaces:

he says. 81 sold Daily Workers for
Max M. is days, about hours a
day. Made an average of 10 sales
a day, but of course I have been sick.

He is a real fighting Red. You

With TOO new families approaching

Bond Issue a Fake.
Due to the pressure of the mill
tant mass demonstrations here the
county board proposed to the state
legislature 100000 bonds for re-
lief. The $650,000 already allotted for
the whole year is already spent, and
$4,000 additional is spent. The
bonds are all that the capitalist gov
eminent has proposed for the jobless
and now william Struckmann, attor-
ney for the county board, declares:
1.-THE action of the legislature will be
that poor relief must stop at once.
There is no other alternative. The
law is plain. Under the supreme
court decision the county is pro-
hibited to continue expenditures for
poor relief under the guise of emer-
gency."
OF course, if it was a war they
had on hand, or if they wanted to
raise money to smash a strike, the
law would be found not so strict.
But just to save workers from star
wing to death-then the law is strict.
Vote Communist.
In the present election campaign,
these facts show that Cermak, the
democrat, and Thompson, the re-
publican candidate for mayor, are
only playing with the lives of the
hungry jobless, holding out vain
hopes and laughing at those who
are fooled thereby. Only the Com
munist Party has real program,
for s75,e0o,000 appropriation from
the city to provide SIS week for
each jobless worker. to stop evictions
and for free gas, light and electricity.
Only the Communist Party demands
that there be no discrimination
against Negro workers. Vote Com
munist on April lotto Wangerin
for mayor, August Poansjoe for city
treasurer and Lydia Bennett for city
clerk.

Molotoff attacked the "Foolish

this was seriously interfering with

was worse than absurd. He pointed
out that while the richest capitalist
countries we're crowded with starving
unemployed and wages were falling,
in the Soviet Union unemployment
did not exist. While wages were
going down in the capitalist coun-
tries, they were going up in the Soviet
Wet Union. Social insurance Of all
