bangle ROPES IN
FACES OF OFFICIALS

BY The United Press.
CICERO. H.. Feb. 27.--With brick
bats and hemp ropes, one for each
member Of the City Council TO back
up their protest, a hundred citizens
OF Cicero threatened to attend the
meeting Of the municipal fathers last
night to voice their dlsapproval Of a
contemplated sale OF the municipal
light plant to the Public Service Com
pany Of Northern Illinois.
Several weeks ago the citizens COM
mittee met at the Hawthorne Audi
forum to devise ways and means Of
bringing the recalcitrant Council to
their way Of thinking. An invitation
to the members was accepted by but
one alderman, Joseph Laska.
Miss Margaret Haley, president OF
the Chicago Teachers Federation,
spoke at the gathering and recon-
mended the rope as a convincing and
persuasive argument.
"A few years ago there was a fight
in Toledo. Ohio similar to this one, y
she said. 1.-THE citizens met in body
and went to the Council chamber bal
cony. They dangled ropes in the
faces Of the Council members and the
traction company was not sold as
planned"
"You citizens take ropes and do
the same thing. Let them know that
you are in earnest"
Frank r. Klimes, a prominent citi-
zen urged that all voters and prop
erty owners attend-armed with a
plentiful supply Of brickbats.
The plan was unanimously ap-
proved and leading citizens say they
intend 10 carry out their coup to-
night.
