self. Leonard Abbott of the Free Speech
League. and perhaps one or two others
as orators. Feeling that some such blow
may await Sinclair the Free Speech

The present trouble started with peace
able overtures made In n letter written
! by Leonard Abbott to Mr.. Pierson. the
village head, and by personal application
by Leonard Abbott and Arthur Caron
to the Chief Of Police OF Tarrytown,' -
says the statement.
I've declare that the utterances which
have been charged against our speakers
such as that Rockefeller IN multi
| murderer and that the only free oil ever
given away by the Standard OIL Company
was that used to burn up the tents at
Ludlow are In no possible sense Illegal
We do not defend the taste OF these
utterances, but We say that the police
should have protected the speakers II,
| their right to make them"
The league goes on to guarantee the
orderiness OF the meeting e one Is al.
lowed.
John ID. Rockefeller went to church al
Pocantlco Hills yesterday. A little later
the Rev Arthur r. Brooks of the larry
town First Baptist Church gave out an
Interview In which he called the anarch.
lists and I. w w. "riffraff' and ''chumpsD
ana described them as FLANNEL mouthed !"
Alexander Berkman phoned last eve
ming to prisoners In the White Plains jail
that he would be up in the morning and
bail them out. They cheered and yelled
when they heard the news.
