to Parades of UnempIoyed-Think
Little Benefit Would Result.

Philadelphia, Feb. 24.-The action
of the police in preventing the meet
ing of a number of societies and or
CARNATIONS in the foreign settlement
in the southern section of the city
has aroused much i'll feeling among
the foreigners. The action followed
an order by Director Of Public Works
Clark in which the police were direct
ed to stop the anarchists from holding
any meetings. The order was given
in consequence of the riot that fol
lowed the parade of unemployed for
eigners here last week.
The meeting of Jewish beneficiary
society was stopped, as was also one
that was to have been addressed by a
well known lawyer, who was to have
talked on "Anarchism" Despite the
police vigilance the professed anar
chists did hold meeting in hall
at which time they decided to retain
lawyer and prepare to advertise ant
hold big meeting so that they car
test the law and see whether they
have the right of free speech"
The Central Labor union placed it
self on record as opposed to the
parades "of unemployed" by refusing
to attend labor meeting in the north
ern section of the city unless given as
surances that there would be M
parade.

KEEP OUT OF FORESTS.
Cattle Must Be Herded Away From
Prescribed National
Reserves.

United States Attorney Carl Rarsch
of Montana has notified Clifford Pin
chot, chief of the United States forest
service, that the United States circuit
court of appeals at San Francisco has
affirmed the decision of Judge Hunt
in the grazing trespass case instituted
by the government against Thomas
Shannon. No copy of the decision has
yet been received by the forest serv-
ice, but it is believed that it forbids
stockmen to allow their cattle to drift
upon the national forests, and that the
national forests need not be fenced to
prevent such drifting, although the
state laws may make such fencing
necessary for private lands.
