WORKERS LIFE:
Sends Message to New
WIR Magazine =

Clara Zetkin, veteran revolutionary
leader of the German working class,
has sent the following message to
Workers Life new popular cultural
magazine issued by the Cultural De-
partment of the Workers Irlterna-
tional Relief:
Dear Comrades,
The publication of this new maya
zine of the WIR is for us an excep-
tionally meaningful, important event.
The international workers movement
stands before decisive struggles. The
Misery offensive of the employers
and their governments endures under
the pressure Of the crisis. The capt.
talist system writhes in agony. The
medicine Of the ruling class is fascism
and war. This reality must be ex-
posed to the American working class
with every conceivable energy and
means.
May the new magazine of the WIR
be a standard bearer of this truth
and a herald in the coming decisi, E
struggles.
One enemy alone we all hate,
And one freedom makes us all free /!
Clara Zetkin."
This greeting is published in the
May issue, just out. Some of the
other features include a story about
the Ford massacre, play about
charity VS.. solidarity new anti-war
song with music, and many others.

their hours reduced from nine to
