This revolution ot the beginning of the Communist order of society. Like every important: histori- cal period this period of the proletar ian revolution has produced in Lenin one of the world’s greatest oustanding figyres; a man who: will live forever in the hearts of the exploited and op- pressed masses f Leninlem Leads . Among the exploited and oppressed masses Lenin does not exist only as the memory of.a great and beloved mah who died serving his class. Lenin to the millions who sweat and toil un der the lash of the capitalist rulers and exploiters.is not dead. Lenin for them still lives. For Lenin’s spirit awakens the slumbering masses to de. | fiance, spurs them Into heroic action and fashions them into armies of steel, lelding to slavery, victorious even defeat and unconquerable. The Communist International recog- nizing that Leninism is the guide that will lead ‘the proletariat to victory in countries has decided that all sec tions of the Communist International use the occasion of the first anniver- sary of the death of Nicolai Lenin for he holding of huge mass demonstra- tions of workers to commemorate his life and to spread his teachings.

NEW YORK, Jan. 27.—The actors of New York, thru their union, the Actors Equity associgtion, are launch. ing a drive to organize the entire theatrical indusiry to resist the radio and to compete with moving pictures, There was a time when actors did not consider themselves of the working class but now they do. This is a healthy step forward for them. Their drive contains other demands. They demand the repeal of the tax or tickets, the legalizing of children’: acting and the creation of a propagan- da department for the spoken play. * 5 FEB. * ‘MADISON SQUARE GARDEN * = x nee ay Ar 1 „ * * * ang > . * » é war.” * 44 7 — 8. a e 1 4 a 47 UGG By ROSE PASTOR STOKES. A year ago, in the Madison Square Garden there gathered fifteen thou- sand workers—with ten thousand on procured. the outside for whom halls had to be The occasion was the Lenin Memorial meeting. For Comrade , the comrade of every worker and peasant in the world—had died. As the meeting was opened and the vast mass responded to the name of Nikolai Lenin with a mighty cry of love and grief, one lone voice trailed after, with a cry of hate. It was like a symbol: of the strength in our numbers—the weakness of the enemy: “We are many, they are few!“ To thousands of workers whose hearts loved and grieved for their dead Comrade, Lenin, there was one exploiter, one lickspittle retainer, one yellow “leader” who hated him, who was glad that Lenin, the beloved Com- rade, the foremost leader, the clearest mind in the struggle of the world's working masses, lay dead. For one who hated there were thousands of proletarian hearts that loved. There was literally not a remote corner of the earth where oppressed workers failed to note with grief Com- rade Lenin’s passing and whose class- consciousness and revolutionary will were not quickened by the loss. Their trite trafled behind the unnumbered 4 m Moscow who for many days in the bitter cold came, mighty stream that thrilled the world, to the House of the Unions where their dead leader lay. But Leninism lived! In the year since Lenin’s passing, the world’s conscious proletarian hosts have swolled. Hundreds of thousands of workers and peasants have joined the proletarian hosts marching under the Communist standard. Capitalist Europe trembles, its gov- ernnients totter before the swelling hosts of the revolutionary working clasa. The imperialist powers are des- perate before the revolting masses of India, Egypt, China. In America, as elsewhere in the world, progress ‘is recorded. With the aid of Leninism.consciousness, partia) or complete, has flocded the mind of thousands of workers and farmers. Everywhere, the first anniversary of Lenin’s death finds the world move- nent of the workers—-the Communist movement, intensely more alive. Len- in a inism lives! As thruout the world again, so again in New York City, in Madison Square Garden on February first, 2 P. M. the workers are memorializing Nikolai Lenin. Again Madison Square Garden will ring with the slogans of the pro- letarian struggle. The workers will come again on this, the first anniver- gary of Lenin's death to show their solidarity and class-consciousness and to reaffirm their faith in their united strength and their will to Soviet power. the ribs. “Socialists” 7 Try to Beat Up Opposition NEW YORK CITY, Jan, The meeting arranged for the agent of the Second (socialist) International, Rafael Abram- ovich, in Hunt's Point Palace, the Bronx, again proved to be a huge demonstration for Soviet Russia. Drunken gangsters brought in by the “socialists” beat up women and children, using knives and clubs on the work- ers in the audience. Gangsters Wear “Socialist” Badge. The hired gangsters wore socialist party badges. Abramovich could not be heard above the shouts for Soviet Russia, which filled the hall, and the fighting between the audience and the hired gunmen brought in by the socialists. Abe Cahan, editor of the Forward, tried to speak, but was greeted with shouts of “traitor.” One woman was seized by the throat and dragged thru the aisle, and when one of the workers who could not see such a spectacle without protest sought to save her from further in- fury, he was taken by one of the po- lice and as he was hat led the bat- blows in the Tries to Spread Lies. The base and false statement made by Abramovich that the peasants are against the Bolsheviks drew loud pro- tests and several of the audience were taken out via the route of the slug- —_ who struck them one after the her as they were shoved out by the pans . That the enthusiasm evidenced is depressingly disappointing to his spon- sors was clearly shown when less than half of the audience rose to their feet upon the appearance of Abramo- vich at the meeting. Thugs all along the aisles and police stationed in the building urged those who tat still to get up, but this was in vain and as the hall would have been more than had been put out they were not mo lested except in a few cases.
