ince ROR A ahaa DETROIT DISTRICT LSNR. PUSE “LIBERATOR” £=:VE; BUILDS NEW GROUPS, STARTS MASS ACTIVITY From the Detroit district of. the League of Struggle for Negro Rights, R. G. sends an activity report and’ plan of work for the Liberator drive, worthy of printing word for word. She. writes: ‘ " “Functioning L. 8. N. R. ranches. are now established with the follow-., ing membership: three in Detroit, | with 30, 25.and 20 members; two in Hamtramck with 30 and 25 members; Pontiac, 34; Highland, 13; 75." within the last month, a new branch Ecores, |.

Liberator sales, low. at |worker correspondents, subscriptions, organizing Liberator Red Sundays on resent, are picking up as the.drlyeiNoy. 29 and Dec. 6, drawing in sym- progresses. “Several newsstands-are now selling the Liberator... Builders are being approached to sell @e paper, and three young boys are establishing house-to-house routes.” An excellent start which, if foilowed, will create a permanent basis--for- mass. circulation in Detroit. But money is needed to establish a headquarters for the L. S. N. Rj, and, to carry on the work of the district, Detroit gets busy. “Each group:is..to. be taxed $2 monthly, is to hold home affairs to raise money (a wise. step, involving a minimum expense)" col~ jection lists are going to be printed, monjy collected, organizations ap- proached for donations.” Activity Starts in Groups. Although, according to R. G., the groups have not yet been involved in activity to any great extent, the re~ port indicates the beginnings of mass Work in the Detroit district. “A Nat pathetic workers to sell, get subs, Red | build carrier routes during these days of concentration, Mass organizations, unemployed councils, block commit- tees (where Liberator agents will see to it that the Liberator is well circu- lated among the workers and on the newsstands) will support the cam- paign. Unemployed workers, organ- systematic house-to-house deliveries, street and factory gate sales, and at workers’ meetings, will “compete with one another for the number of subs |secured, the numbers of regular re~ \ceivers of the paper, ete.” From these clubs, affiliated to the L.S.N.R. will develop a steady flow of worker cor- respondence, The immediate step of the Libe- jrator drive will be discusséd at a general membership meeting of the L.S.N.R. Quotas by groups have been worked out, prizes to be awarded to ized into Liberator Builders Clubs for | the one reaching or exceeding 'its quota first. The drive will end with a Liberator Ball some time in January. Detroit is to be congratulated for Turn@ mass meeting was held at the Greek Workers Club,” she writes. “A demonstration will be held_ fore a White Tower restaurant Hamtramck, which refuses to serve Negro workers. Libetator mass meet~ ings will be held by each group with- in the next three weeks. [i Janu-_ ary an L.3.N.R. conference will be arranged to affiliate and activize many fraternal organizations.” (Ra- ther late date, but numerous other conferees in the district prevent an earlier meeting.) ‘The district L.

The fruits of these plans may not be realized the first week, perhaps, but Detroit has shown the way HOW to carry on work effectively and systematically. We look to that district not only to exceed its quota of 1,000, but to surpass it..... Where are reports from other dis- ing, starvation, segregation, and for |tricts? Send them in! DAILY WORKER SUBSCRIPTION DRIVE OPENS (CONTINUED FROM. PAGE ONE) the “liberal” and “socialist“capitalist press and the frankly chauvinist poison of the reactionary press. A day to day read- ing of the Daily BINDS THE.WORKER’S CONTACT WITH THE REVOLUTIONARY STRUGGLES. Subscriptions build a solid foundation, in the shops, in the mines, in the factories, against the onslaughts of the bosses. TURN THE CASUAL READERS INTO STEADY READERS Continue your valiant struggles to spread the Daily Worker through street sales and through house to house canvassing. Turn every sale into a subscription. Turn the casual reader into a subscriber. etter The worker who borrows.your Daily Worker should be tured into a subscriber. The worker who buys his Daily from you on the street should be turned into a subscriber. All Daily Worker agents should carry subscription blanks and ask every chance customer to fill out one. SUBSCRIPTION DRIVE COMBINES ALL DRIVES The Daily Worker subscription drive reinforces all other Party activities. In one plant alone, a worker secured over 150 subscriptions in the process of building up a shop nucleus. Such results can be obtained all over the country if comrades engaged in Party work remember that all activities can be @ed up with the Daily Worker subscription campaign. BUILD A PERMANENT SIX-PAGE DAILY WORKER In the mines of Kentueky West Virginia and Pennsylvania, in the textile mills of Massachusetts, New Jersey and Rhode Island, on the docks of big American seaports, the mass strug- gle of workers aganist wage cuts is spreading. We must have at least six pages if vital news is not to be choked off. FIVE THOUSAND. SUBSCRIPTIONS Five thousand new subscriptions are needed before we can have a six-page Daily. They will surely be attained if the campaign is pushed with vigor. They will be surpassed if the campaign is pushed through with enthusiasm. This subscription drive will make it easier to spread the Daily in the future. The success of this drive will build a per- manent six-page paper. A united, concentrated effort now, an@the path ahead will be smoother. Comrades, a few more ounces of energy, a little bit more work.

The at- tack was begun on Thursday night with a murderous bombardment of the Chinese workers’ quarters of Tientsin by the Japanese and Ital- ians. Over 20 Chinese workers are reported killed and many scores wounded. United tSates, French and British troops were reported under arms in the foreign concessions. A Paris dispatch yesterday reports that the United States, France and Bri- tain have since joined the Japanese and Italians in shooting down Chin- ese workers in Tientsin. The dis- patch says: “Japanese official quarters in Paris today reported receipt of in- formation from Tientsin that there were ‘rumors’ that American, Bri- tish and French troops were en- gaged with the Japanese and Chin- ese in severe fighting there yester- day.” Yesterday's New York Post carried @ Tientsin dispatch with the sub- head: “U. 5., British, French Report- ed Joining Tientsin Clash.” Japan in Ultimatum to China, Japan has handed China an ulti- matum, a Tientsin dispatch to the New York World-Telegram reports: “Japan delivered an ultimatum to Chinese authorities today after 2 night of fighting in which Jap- anese troops bombarded Chinese rioters with artillery and swept streets with machine guns and rifles.” A Peiping dispatch reports that Chang has issued orders not to re- sist the Japanese attack on the Chin- ese masses. The dispatch says: “Marshal Chang ordered the Chinese authorities to avoid any kind of conflict.” A Tokio dispatch to the New York Evening Graphic reports the Japan- ese in a new offensive towards Chin- chow. The dispatch says that Gen- eral Hsueh-Liang is withdrawing his troops from Chinchow without offer- ing any resistance to the Japanese invaders. This is another act of be- trayal of the Chinese masses by the Kuomintang traitors, who all along have refused to lift a finger in re- sistance against the plot of the im- perialists to complete the partition of China and crush the powerful revolutionary movement of the Chin- ese workers and peasants. The special law passed by the Kuo- mintang hangmen against anti-Jap- anese agitation has completely failed of its purpose. The anger of the masses continues to grow*against the imperialists and their Kuomintang lackeys. The efforts of the Kuomin- tang to crush the power of the Chin- ese Soviets and the Red Army also resulted fn a smashing defeat for the Nanking armies. Massacre Followed Demonstration. The murderous attack on the Tientsin workers followed an ahti-im- perialist demonstration in the Chin- ese workers’ quarter. The Japanese, in seeking a pretext to crush this movement, resorted to their old trick of hiring Chinese gunmen to create a disturbance. The Japanese and Ital- jans then claimed that several revol- ver shots had been fired into their concessions. The action of the im- perialists in Tientsin is a further provocation against the Chinese masses. This action is a direct out- come of the secret decisions of the United States and the League Coun- cil in Paris. These decisions are aimed at furthering the rape of China, at destroying the Chinese Soviets, which exercise control over an area larger than France, with a population of over 60,000,000 and is the only stable government in China. The imperialists are starting another and bloodier world war in their des- perate attempts to save the decaying capitalist system, at the expense of the home and colonial masses, at the expense of the Soviet Union. It is a war of desperation directed against the struggles of the hungry the Western Penna., Ohio and West Virginia miners, “To fight successfully against the growing starvation, unity of the rank and file is the supreme necessity. Unity must come from below, from the working and unemployed miners, It must. be directed against the Lewis’, Bittners’, Keeneys’, as well as the coal operators, It must include Negroesand white, Americans and foreign-born, youths and adults, men and women,” _ ORDER; MEET ON ‘TORONTO, Canada.—Spurring the campaign for the repeal of 98 of the | Chiminal Code on which basis eight Communist leaders were sentenced to heavy prison terms and thé Com- munist Party property ordered con- fiscated, the Canadian Labor Defense | League has called for United Con-| ferences of workingclass organiza- | tions and a huge signature drive.

Central Opera House was packed with workers of all nation- alities and the slogan for uniting with the International Workers Or- | der was not only accepted with en- thusiasm by the thousands of work- ers but also by the 100 delegates who will act on the recommendation of the National Executive Committee of the Slovak Society at their conven- tion today. } Comrade Bill Dunne in his greet- ing for the Communist Party pointed out the role that a United Fraternal Organization can play in helping to! build the revolutionary trade unions | and support the struggles of the) working class in this country. | Comrade Lightner in his greetings | pointed out that the Hungarian Sick | and Death Benefit Society recognized the importance of a strong united fraternal organization and was the first organization to make such a de- cision some six months ago and are today already going through with the necessary organizational steps to) achieve unity with the International Workers Order, Comrade Schifel, president of the | Slovak Workers Society mainly dwelt with the inner organizational and other problems of the Slovak Work- ers Society. In his report he pointed out the steady growth of the organ- ization and expressed the hope that after uniting with the International Workers Order they would grow even faster and larger than up to now and that the Slovak Workers Society will become a strong powerful section of the International Workers Order.

Japan Rushing New Forces. Japan is rushing additional troops to Central China and Manchurta, ac- cording to the latest capitalist dis- patches from Tokyo.

Now, writes Mrs. Baldwin, the father has had his foot crushed in a slate fall in the mines. Except for the help of the International Labor Defense, the family would be destitute. Lizzie Baldwin's letter follows: “Dear Comrade: “I certainly was thankful to you all for the ten dollars you sent me. I sure did need the money to get myself and the children some shoes and clothes.
