Tonight the great mass demonstration to commemorate the anniversary of the death of the great proletarian leader, V. I. Lenin, takes place in Madison Square Garden. 50th St. and 8th Ave. Final arrangements have been completed for the mobilization of thousands of workers for the demonstration.

At 6 o'clock tonight all militant union headquarters will be gathering places for workers in various industries who will from these headquarters march with banners carrying their demands to the Garden.

Resolutions keep coming from many labor organizations endorsing the demonstration and pledging participation. Among these was the statement issued last night by the Central Committee of the Council of Working Class Women. In addition, resolutions endorsing the meeting were adopted by the following organizations: Japanese Workers Club. Branch 122 Independent Workmen's Circle, East N. Y. Workers Club, Prospect Workers Club. Council 10. Workers Club of Brownsville, International Branch of Union City, Downtown Workers Club.

In special leaflets addressed to Negro workers, women workers, and young workers issued in 50,000 copies, all were called upon to join in the demonstration. The leaflet issued to all Negro workers exposes the misleaders and calls upon all workers to join in the demonstration.

The leaflet reads as follows:

"For years we have allowed ourselves to follow and be sold out by a group of self-appointed handkerchief-headed middle class leaders, politicians, so-called educators and preachers, who are ambitious to become capitalists themselves, and betray the whole race to gain their own personal ends, and to improve the conditions of their class, the middle class. Our Negro politicians, who fool us into voting for them on the plea of race loyalty are like the white politicians, only tools of the bosses. Neither the republican, democratic or socialist parties are organized for the interest of the workers, black or white. There is only one Party that can fight for interests of the workers, regardless of race or nationality, and that Party is the Party of the workers, THE COMMUNIST PARTY.

"We only support enemies when we aid the so-called race uplift movement—the National Association of Colored People, the Urban League and the Universal Improvement Association. These organizations—scab herders, and strike breakers, are now dining with the worst enemy of the Negro race, the slaughterer of South African Negroes, the agent of the British imperialists and the League of Nations, General Jan Smuts. When our brothers are lynched these organizations are silent. They go to the same boss-owned courts which do everything to oppress and exploit us Negro workers and are in the service of the same boss class with the lynchers themselves.

"Negro and white workers of New York! The Sixth Anniversary of the death of our great leader, Lenin, takes place on January 22. On that day, at 7 p. m. the Party of the working class, the Party of Lenin, the Communist Party, is calling a great demonstration of international solidarity at Madison Square Garden."
