JACOB M. LOEB COMPARED TOT
RUSSIAN OPPRESSOR

RUSSIAN OPPRESSOR
Several hundred young men and
women students Of the Chicago He
brew institute night school met last
might and protested against Russia
like means employed by Jacob M.
Loeb to squelch free speech.
i Loeb, a school trustee, is president
aof the Hebrew institute, 1858 TAYLOR
St, Chicago's leading Jewish public
institution.
& Loeb's resignation is demanded.
The tactics he has been using in run

the rule of iron in Russia.
The brewing storm broke Monday
night when an inCipient meeting of
5the Labor Defense league was to
have been held in the institutes as

1904 had rented the hall. They want
led to meet to discuss means of de-
tense for union labor men who are
unjustly held in prison.
Those who came to attend the
meeting found the doors barred
against them. When they demanded
1the right to enter the hall they had
rented and paid for, the police were
called to dispense them. The labor |
smen held their meeting, but in anoth-

paper interview attacking Margolis.
When the labor men were refused |
1admittance to the Hebrew institute |
Loeb did not say it was because free |
speech was obnoxious. It was an

FOUR ARRESTED AS RESULT OF
LITTLE GIRLS STORY


Detectives sat for hours at the bed
side of Helen Byron, Is years old, IN
a South Side hospital last night lis
tenfng to a story the girl had to tell
of the three days she was held pris-
oner in the home of an unlicensed
practicing physician at 1889 W.
21st st.
Following her story CDR. " P ]. Kra-
kowski. his wife and son, julius, and
John Sumbelslki, the wife's brother,
were arrested.
Helen disappeared three days ago.
According to the story she told the
police, she swent to the Krakowski
home to give the doctor" a message
from her mother, who was i'll in the
EnglewoOd hospital
There she complained Of a head
ache. Krakowsld gave her a hypo-
dermic injection and took her into
another room, where she lost con-

possible that the American police
would disturb a peaceful meeting
that was not reasonable nor even
Socialistic.
The night students attempted to
hold the meeting at the institute last
night, but were denied admittance.
So they went to West Side hall, Tay-
lor and, Center av. There they for
INFLATED the following demands:
That Loeb be Censured for his at
titude in not allowing the use of the
hall for free speech.
That Margolis be Teinstated.
If these are not complied with by
next Monday all the night classes will
walk out and refuse to enter the in
stitute.
cit looks too much like Russia
when we cannot meet in our own
building" said IsadOr BeTman, who
presided last night.
Loeb as a member of the school
board has been a bully as well as
reactionaTy. He represents big busi-
ness on the board and has tried his
best to browbeat women teachers.
