1.-THE growing struggles of the East
Side workers, led by the Communist
Party, for immediate relief, against
hunger and war, is meeting with in
tenSified reaction, terror and dema-
gogy by the bosses and their agents,
in an attempt to disrupt this grow
ing unity of the native and foreign
born, Negro and white workers.
Because of this growing influence
of the Communist Party, we have seen
many attacks by the police. We
remember that Bloody Friday"
April 18th, when the workers demon
Strated for relief, and we're dubbed
savagely. We have seen the Socialist
misleaders, cooperating with the police
to bar Communist meetings from
many proletarian corners. And now
the Trotskyists, agents of the bosses
and counter-revolution, step in to
fulfill their important mission, to dis
rupt working class unity.
Saturday night, Aug. goth, the
TrotskyiStS attempted to hold a
meeting at 7th st. and Avenue A, in
the heart of the proletarian East
Side, where the influence of the
Communist Party and revolutionary
movement is great. When questions
were asked of the Trotskyist speaker,
Trotsky the "strong-a arm" squad re-
sponded with threats. The workers
then answered by putting the Trot-
skyites to rout, and began their own
meeting to expose the counter
revolutionists. Stones and bottles then
came hurting through the air. The
worker, Kruziuk, fell rlortally injured;
the worker, Micheal Semen, fell, a
victim of the bosses agents and died
the next morning.
THE Communist Party calls upon
all workers to close ranks, and fight
against the disrupters, against the
Trotskyist agents of counter -revolu-
ton.
The Communist Party calls upon
all workers to intensity the fight
against the bosses, for unemployment
insurance, for defense of the political
rights OF the workers, for defense of
the Soviet Union.
Long live the revolutionary mass
struggle against provocations, against
boss terror.
