Com. Gordon, Charter
Member of Communist
Party Dies Suddenly

NEW YORK. - Pinkus Gordon, a
charter member of the Communist
Party, an untiring and devoted work
er to the cause of the working class,
has met sudden death. His death
is a great loss to the Communist
Party in Section Six where conrade
Gordon was member for years in
one of its shop nucleus.
From his very childhood Comrade
Gordon participated in the revolu-
tionary movement in Russia and in
the year of 1905 took an active part
in the revolutionary uprising.
The Section Committee of Section
6 of the Communist Party has in its
ranks an empty space left by the
loss of Comrade Gordon. We call
upon the workers and especially to
the workers of the Bleyer Shop,
where Comrade Gordon as Com
munist has for years been fighting
in the interests of all the workers in
the shop to close their ranks, and
to take the place of Comrade Gordon
in the Communist Party and con-
tinue to carry on the struggle in the
interests of the working class with
the same devotion and firmness as
did our lost Comrade Pinkus Gordon.
