H. G. TEIGA Secy. Minn. Farmer Labor Party.—“Ruthenberg’s devotion toghe cause of the workers was unquestioned since nineteen eighteen when he went to jail for epposing war.

Long live the Communist International!” —(Signed) ENEA-SORMENTI. “TYPE OF BOLSHEVIST INTEGRITY” WM. E. WEINSTONE, Sec’'y New York District, W. P—‘Comrade Ruthenberg represented steadfast devotion to the Party, loyalty to its principles, faith in its growth, undying conviction of the ultimate real- ization of its aim. “He typified bolshevist integrity, reliability, determination. He was a valiant fighter. During the trying period of the war, he held high the banner of Internationalism. In the mad, capitalist hysteria of the post- war period, he was persecuted but he did not flinch from carrying for- ward aggressively the ideas of revolutionary struggle. He ‘vas a Party man in every sense of the term—a professional revolutionary. His en- tire life was bound up with the Party he helped to form and of which he was its foremost leader. “Comrade Ruthenberg is dead but the Party he led in fotinding lives on, Our membership must make up for the loss of our comrade*by en- rolling ‘fresh forces into the Party, by redoubling our energies in the class struggle, by closing in indissoluble unity the revolutionary van- guard of the working class—the Workers (Communist) Party. “Comrade Ruthenberg is dead! “Long live the Workers (Communist) Party! “Long live the Communist International!” HIS COURAGE LIKE A TORCH. J. MINKIN, Secretary, Jewish Section, Workers Party, Philadel- phia, Pa.—“With deepest grief in our hearts we mourn the loss of our leader in the working class battles in the United States. We swear to give our hearts’ blood for the struggle in which our brave leader has given his life. The years he spent in capitalist dungeons did not break’ the courage of our great leader and this will serve us as a torchlight and banner in the struggles to emancipate the world from the capitalist- imperialist yoke of oppression. Ruthenberg is dead! Long live the Workers (Communist) Party of America! MAHONEY CALLS HIM A CLEVER STRATEGIST. WILLIAM MAHONEY, Editor, Union Labor Advocate.—‘Mr, Ruthenberg was an able, earnest and determined advocate of the prin- ciples of Communism and was a clever strategist in promoting its prog- ress. He has a record of loyalty to the cause of the workers from his viewpoint that has been rarely surpassed. By his death the Communist movement has lost one of its foremost leaders.” LOCAL TWENTY-TWO PAYS RESPECTS. EXECUTIVE BOARD, LOCAL 22, International Ladies Garment Workers’ Union.—-“We the members of the executive board of Local 22, assembled at a meeting on March 2 mourn the loss of our devoted com- rade, C. E. Ruthenberg. “We feel the labor movement has lost one of the most active and devoted fighters for the liberation of the workers from the clutches of capitalism. “In paying respect to our dear comrade we pledge to go on with the work where he left off and carry on the struggle until the producers will be the rulers of society.” CABLEGRAMS FROM MOSCOW TELL THE SORROW FELT BY RUTHENBERG’S COMRADES IN HIS STRUGGLES FOR THE WORKERS IN AMERICA Messages from those who were associated with Comrade Ruthenberg in his work in America, are beginning to arrive from Moscow, the capital of the Union of Socialist So- | viet Republics, and headquarters of the Communist International, of whose executive committee and presidium Ruthenberg was a member.
