the authorities after the recent polio
clash with the parade of the "unen
ployed," and became especially hOstil
to Chief Shippy when the latter ar
nounced his intention of preventing
Emma Goldman delivering a publ
speech, and that with others he me

tended an anarchist meeting, and say
that three weeks ago he was so di.
couraged because he was out of en-
ployment that he talked suicide, bu
she dissuaded him from that purpos,
