MINNEAPOLIS, Aug. 31.-The pal
ladum Of American liberties is East
ward bound tonight, "to somewhere,'
in the keeping of faithful group OF
the organizers and other supporters
of the Peoples Council. which aspires
to duplicate in America the Russian
Council of Soldiers and Workmen. De
spite an carly public announcement
that the Capitol at Washington Itself
was the place where the last stand for
constitutional rights would be made
there were so many changes OF front
during the day that it is safe to say
that more NAV be made tonight. Al
one time during the afternoon 1t was
announced that Milwaukee would have
the honor Of entertaining the FRIENDS
Of liberty. Then it was again decided
that it was the strategic thing to give
"our liberties" the acid test at the
centre of government 1t was pointed
ont that if liberty is to Shrek and die
there could be no SrdHuei anu i'
fitting scenic setting than the Capltoi
itself. Perhaps By morning Chicago
will have a chance at the dubious honor
that WAS Minneapolis, then rargos
and afteryard Hudson's.
"OnIy Rulers Opposed
Tia scouts sent out in various direc-
,ions report with remarkable unanimlty
that in each place that was to have
held the meeting the common people
are clamoring for it, but that their
rulers are opposed and inexorable.
Even Hudson, where the crowd called
for lvnching ropes last night, is repre-
scented as being broken hearted over
,oeinp the chance of being red-tagged
az one of the birthplaces of American
social democracy, that is soon to sweep
the war lords from the high places.
Lochner, Williams, Kruse and others
of the organizing committee say that,
while it is highly embarrassing to have
: nice meeting all ready and no place

zeal of so many communities to pass
the honor along, the Unconstitutional
measures being taken to prevent the

6-Cent Bread Impossible

Say Nep York Bakers

New York's hope for five-cent loaf
Of bread this winter dwindled yesterday
when bakers and big flour dealers in the

Thursday by the President.
At the Offices Of the United States
