he warned the people TO watch for a
shrewd move on the part Of the Repub-
lican organization. He said:

not meet until next Thursday. I warn
YOU and want you to prepare for a
geeting Of councils next Monday. I
say 20 you on my own authority that
calls for a special meeting Of councils
may 60 ont Saturday night or Sunday.
You won't know II until you read It in
the newspapers. The organization Is
desperate and wants to pass the lease
before all the councilmen weaken.
Il ask you. men and women. be pre-
pared. The moment you hear the news
become minute men; go peacefully 10
the city hall and stay there and demand
your rights"
A letter written by Mr. Justice. chair
man OF the meeting was read, in which
