ter a learned student at the Uniyer-

the fact that Mr., TOpkis is inter-

IS HECKLED
BY SOCIALISTS

Democratic party leaders we're
much disturbed Saturday night when
several Socialists attempted to ask
Congressman Oscar w. Underwood of
Alabama, who was speaking in Turn
Hall, a question Mr.. Underwood was
speaking on the tariff at the time
and when permission was asked to
questiin him. some of those present
proceeded TO curse and yell, throw
him out" Congressman Underwood
silenced them, saying il was an
American audience and he allowed
the question. The speaker had been
talking of the Democrats wanting to
reduce the tariff on wool to AZ per
cent whereas at present il is 80 per
cent. and the Socialist wanted to
know how the worker would be
benefited, as with the present high
tariff, cost of living was so high and
wages were low. The Socialist ask
ed further what would prevent a re-
duction In wages If the tariff was
lowered. Congressman Underwood de-
clared this would be prevented by
compact unions.
Another Socialist was about to ask
IL the same measures could not then
be employed as was done in New
Jersey when Governor Wilson called
out the militia to break a strike.
other persons present prevented him
from asking the question, fearing
trouble owing TO the reception they
received when they first asked a
question.
Among those in the audience was
an elderly man who wanted to ask a
question but he. too, was afraid ow-
ing to the attitude of those present
when the Socialists began heckling
the speaker. Congressman Under
wood after answering the question
proceeded to ask his questioner one,
but the Socialist evaded it, saying he
could not answer it as he did not be-
lieve in the profit system.
