Says Maurer.
SPEAKS IN HIGH SCHOOL

Patriotism and the stars and Stripes
came in for some pretty hard raps last
night at the hands Of James II. Maurer.
a member OF the Pennsylvania Assembly
and president of the state Federation
Of Labor OF Pennsylvania. The audi
ence which heard Maurer was only one
lap behind him. \ derisive allusion to
preparedness met with a storm OF APP
plause.
Maurer spoke in the auditorium Of
the Washington Irving High School un-
der the auspices of the Labor Forum,
an institution designed to give every
one an opportunity for free speech. Carl
Beck manager OF the Labor Forum,
introduced Maurer with a glowing
eulogy as the man who a done more
for labor In Pennsylvania than any one
else.
Maurcr started out with the announced
intention of showing up tho evils of a
State police constabulary. but had not
progressed far when he hit upon the
subject of patriotism.
when some of these prepa rcdness
freaks come to me-" he shouted, 'and
ask me about my patriotism ] feel Ike
telling them to go To hell'
The audience met his fcelcr with a
wild outburst Of applause. Here and
there through the ro~d a yell OF APP
prevail was to be heard. AiRurer was
quick to follow up his first success.
"Down With the Flas."
This great stars and Stripes III
shouted throwing'out his arms and ais
ing his voice. this great stars ant
stripes they keep rubbing up at YOU

A rumble Of applause and laughter
began.
"Patrotlsm! =" Maurer yelled. while
there Is a conflict between class ant
mass down with the Stars and Stripes.
There were IA good many young worne
in the audience h looked as IL they
were freuucnters of that auditorium
during school hours in the day. Ger
tainly they could not have been more
than 16 years old. Many Of the mel
also were little more than boys.

tinued Maurer, con the side Of the hypo

Again he was forced to stop while tn
crowd registered its approval by hand
clapping.
