Bank: of U.S, Denes siters Organize To Demand Full Deposit Return (Continued from Pagé One) ‘We work hard for our few pennies. Now the. rich bankers rob. us. They tell us lies about the return of a hundred cents on the dollar. We know this is to fool us...We go to the bank for the ‘loans,’,. What do we find. We wait ten hours and they let only 16 of us in. They take away our bank books and in return give us soft pieces of paper..-We get no money. We are told to come back again and again. This will not do. Only by our organized might wil! we force the robbers to return to us the money of our toil and, sweat!” ‘The meeting in which 3,000 workers listen with close attention is orderly despite the fact that here is a mass of workers who have never seen one | another before. They feel the weight of the crisis in terrific form. One worker gets up: “I am sick. I cannot work. My few pennies were in the bank and now I am left te starva- tion. I agree with all thé-speakers, alone we are helpless. Wé must fight as, workers, altogether! If fen of us go and ask for our money we will Tf 300,000 of us dem- onstrate at City Hall, demanding the return of our money we wi get ac- tion!” Others say: “We want no lawyers, no bloodsuckers. We must act as workers, as if on strikey~stick to- gether like on the picket line.” They elect a committee of 25, mostly workers, who have--their few | pennies in the bank. “a One small business mat gets up. “1 have some money in’ that bank and I must agree with yotf thatonly by acting together will wé win out.” ¥or a moment there is turmoil in the room. The hall is’ so tightly tered the crowds out onthe side- walk. The meeting hall-is like a raised for the yellow “Forward,” or ‘its brother liar, “The Day.” When speaker after speaker demands a mass demonstra- tion at City Hall, the ery is raised throughout the hall: What paper will carry this news?” %m ashout the answer comes: “Only the Freiheit and the Daily Worker.” There is | loud cheering. Most ef these work- ers who read Yiddish have followed mainly the “Forward.” They feel the cemnection of the Forward with the rotten bank robbers. The committee is elected unani- | mously by a standing vote. No one dissents. The meeting adjourns when the chairman announces that the committee will meet with other com- mittees of worker-depositors. In a statement given by the press committee it was declared that, the object of the meeting was to find ways and means to get the full amount of the deposits back. The committee requested all depositors to watch our further announcements in the newspapers. ‘The Committee of Thirty-Five will meet Sunday, Dec. 21, at 8 p. m., at the Great Central Palace to proceed in the work outlined by the meeting. Outside the cops break up the small crowds who discuss the meeting. The discussion is very interesting. Those who talk stress the necessity of or- ganization of the worker-depositors. This lesson has sunk in: Only by mass organization will the depositors be able to get their money back. Otherwise the rich stockholders and big depositors will profit at the ex- pense of the workers. One woman on the street, with a crowd around her, says: “We must mass at City Hall, altogether, with our families, our children and de- pendents. We are 300,000. Our en- tire families, will bring the crowd up to well near a million. This mighty force will make the bosses fear our determination.” ‘The cops have orders to disperse these crowds. They don’t like talk of this kind. The workers protest and keep on talking: “Organization, organization; fight!” At the same time the Grand Cen- | _ tral meeting was going on 3,000 more depositors were meeting at Ambas- | sador Hall in the Bronx. One of the depositors got up and spoke, stressing the need for organ- ization, the election of a committee which would meet with similar com- published January 10. Rush ads | and greetings.

A di- spatch from Canton by the Associ- ated Press says that “Government troops have captured numerous Red strongholds after heavy fighting in southern Kiangsi Province, but Com- munists’ control of the area remains unbroken, said wireless dispatches received tonight.” ‘The significant fact of this dispatch is that while it says “numerous Red stringholds” were captured it does not give the name of a single town taken, and the remaining clause that “Communists’ control of the area re- mains unbroken” gives the lie to the intent of the dispatch. The capital- ist press headlines this story as fol- lows: “Nanking Victories Reported.” The further details of the very same dispatch indicate that the Red Army is triumphing over the Nation- alist militarist troops. The peasants and workers are lining up with the |Communists. The A. P. story says: “The soldiers reported all men in | the district had joined the Reds, who were assisted by young women.” A cable from Shanghai states that |a detachment of the Chinese Red Army, numbering 7,000 men, cap- |tured Kungan, midway between | Tsingshi and Shasi, near the Hunan- Hypeh border. Both of these provin- | ces are rapidly coming under Soviet | control. The attempts of the Nanking ferces to “wipe out the Reds” has failed miserably, 20,000 of Chiang Kai Shek’s troops being nearly annihi- lated. Imperialist and nationalist gun- boats and troops are being rushed to the island of Hainan, which is 24¢ miles south of the Chinese coast from Hongkong. The Island is vir- tually under Communist control. Un- der the pretext that ‘missionaries are in danger’, the British Labor govern- nient have rushed the gunboat Sand- wich to Hainan. Along with this Chiang Kai Shek’s gunboat, Fookow, with 600 soldiers on board is steam- ing for Hainan. . Bitter fighting is going on in many sections of South China between the Red Army and the reactionary, im- perialist-supported troops. Chiang Kai Shek government, and his imperialist supporters are becom- ing worried over the Red Army ad- | vances, and are frantically attempt- ing to bolster up the power of the badly shaking Nationalist outfit, mittees of other sections of the city | who will wage an intensive struggle | for the interests of the small depos- | |itors. He pointed out the futility of | going to Governor Roosevent, ap ac- | tion which was being urged by shop- keepers throughout the assemblage. ‘These same shopkeepers booed when the speaker said that the “Forward” and “The Day” are misleaders and that the “Freheit” is the only Jewish paper that leads the struggle of the | workers. / Friday’s issue of “The Day” says, | under @ three-column head, that the | Communists kicked the depositors off | the platform and took over the meet- | ing; that when they (the Commu- | nists) saw that they could not or- ganize the depositors they heckled the entire proceedings. “The Day” further lied viciously when it referred to the speaker, Simon Kesselman, as | a misleader and the intruder who | destroyed the chances of organiza- tion and who disrupted the proceed- was cheered, when he also outlined | a plan of mass astion.

Borah points out that this is des- perately needed to relieve unemploy- ment in America, but ends his letter: “But, of course, I have very litile hope of its being entertained where it ought to be entertained.
