United Front
Candidate
Home Raided
Signature Drive Shows
Serious Lag, Greater
Speed Is Urged

CHICAGO, H., Jan. The cleo
ton campaign committee organized
at the Workers United Front Con-
ference in Ward Eight, has Just re-
ported that the home Of a work
ers' candidate, George RACE resid-
ing at IT'S East s1st Street, has been
broken into.
It is clear, the committee SAID.
that the raid on this workers home
was manufactured by some Of the
local politicians since no money or
valuables have been touched, but
the desk and drawers searched for
papers and documents. This raid
upon the workers home is linked
with the dismissal OF this candidate
by the dairy company by which he
was employed, and the failure Of
the union officials to reinstate him
on his job.
When RACE called for his bond
at the dairy, he was refused it,
receiving the excuse that the union
representative was not there and
that he must be present when the
bond is returned.
The workers Of the Eighth Ward
are called upon to rally behind their
candidate and to defeat the attacks
Of the local politicians by collecting
enough signatures to place him on
the ballot and by voting for him in
the coming aldermanic elections.

bers Of the Waterfront Unemployed
Council, dispatched the following
telegram to Harry L. Hopkins. Ma

Washington. last Friday:
-Four hundred seamen denied
transient relief on refusal accept

work. Effective today all sea1nen Of
New Orleans are without food or
shelter. We demand union wage
scales, no forced labor or scabbing.
Read thirteenth amendment to Con-
stitution of the United States"
At an open air protest mass meet
ing the unemployed seamen decided
to picket the ferries to see that
no one goes to work on the Algiers
project. About 100 seamen have
signed the Daily Worker straw vote
on the Workers Unemployment and
Social Insurance Bill. Twenty five
signed protest cards against the new
contract signed by the I.S.U. Off
Gals. which provides for $3.50 a
month for seamen.
The struggle against the forced
labor camps has been on for several
weeks. In addition to objecting
to- the mis- SCRABBLE conditions
and 80 hours labor at only 81 a
week, the seamen resent being
taken miles from the employment
halls, where they might find a
chance to ship out. The relief au-
thorities have limited plainly that
one of the objects is to take the
seamen away from the waterfront,
where they join in all struggles of

ton authorities in the case of A.
w, Mills, district organizer of the
Philadelphia district of the Com
munist Party, who several weeks
ago was ordered to report to Ellis

Lenin Meeting
Rally To Be Held at
Madison So. Garden
on Jan. 81

NEW YORK. - Attempting to
make this years Lenin Memorial
Meeting, which will take place on
Jan. 81 at pm. at Madison Square
Garden, an outstanding event, a
committee has been working on the
program of the meeting for some
time
There will be only two speakers
James w. Ford, Harlem Section Or
ganizer. and Earl Browder, General
Secretary of the Communist Party
who has recently returned from the
Soviet Union and was an eye-wit-
ness to the events following the
Kirov assassination. Participants
on the program will include a mass
chorus and the Workers Laboratory
Theatre, who will present sketch
on the life Of Lenin, specially pre-
pared for the occasion.
A rigid time schedule has been
worked out. the meeting beginning
promptly at pm. Each of the
two speakers will keep within the
time allotted, and the surrounding
program will emphasize the chief
points of the speeches and illu-
strate the memorial character of
the meeting. In order to adhere
to this time schedule and endure
orderly running of the meeting. the
meeting will begin on time, and no
groups will be permitted to enter
as a body once the program has
begun.
The meeting this year, the Elev-
enth Memorial, comes at a time
when the Soviet Union has made
its greatest gains, but is being at
tackled more viciously than ever be-
fore, and when the class lines are
being drawn more sharply in the
United States and in every capt.
talist country. Since the last me-
mortal meeting, many outstanding
events have occurred. In our own
country, the general strike on the
west coast, the strikes in Toledo and
Minneapolis, the great textile strike
and many others have served to
bring out more clearly the rising
militancy Of the workers and the
sharpness Of the struggle. In Spain,
Cuba and China. revolutionary
struggles have taken place and are
continuing. In Austria, civil war;
in France and other places the es-
Enlistment of united front be-
tween Communist and Socialist
workers, and in Germany the forg-
ing of an organized anti-fascist
movement under the leadership OF
the heroic Communist Party.
The Eleventh Memorial Meeting
will mark these events, will forecast
the growing strength of the Amer
lean working class, will pay tribute
to the work and teaching of Lenin,
and will express the mighty reply
of the New York working class to
the new anti-Soviet fascist -impe-
rialist terror plots and war incite-
ment.
