use EVERY EFFORT
But Bolsheviki Fail to
Break Up All-Russian
Convention at New
York

New York. Feb. 1O-Perverse and
pertinacious efforts Of the BolshevlSi
failed today to break up the all-Rus-
sian convention in session here. Noisy
demonstrations by the Radicals did not
shake the determination of the con-
servatiyes who have gathered from all
parts of the country to adopt resoiu-
tons expressing plainly their opinions
Of the present rule in Russia.
Leon Martin, temporary chairman OF
the convention, left the chair and told
the interlopers who had gathered at the
entrance that if they continued their
efforts to break up the meeting the
Bolsheviki of New York would be
broken up by police reserves. A special
officer in civilian clothes. but wearing
a large badge, volunteered to demon
strate what could be done by lone po-
iiceman. He was quite successful IN
his efforts.
After long and tempestuous argr'
ment a compromise finally was reached
whereby the Bolsheviki were permit
ted to enter the hall after taking oath
that they would make no noise.
When the convention got underway
President Semenoifsky offered resolu-
tim.s outlining ultimate aims or the
Russian colony in the United states.
The debate upon them was general
Many changes and notifications were
proposed. AS finally adopted the reso-
lutions declare that the constituent as
sembly is the only body that has power
to execute the will and demands OF
Russians as q free people denounced
methods of the Bolsheviki, demand an
immediate session of the constituent
assembly and say:
I'VE demand the recognition Of the
rights of all small nations and that
those under the sway Of Russian rule
hereafter be given the rights OF SELL
government and home rule.
We greet the United States as the
country which has sheltered us and
harbored us with it's unbounded hos
pitality and as the first nation to
recognize free Russia after the fall of
autocracy."
Permanent organization of all Rus
slams in the United States and Canada
as THE federation of Russian organi-
cations in America" was decided upon.
There will be an executive committee
Of Is members but home rule will be
granted to local councils. Headquar-
tiers will be established here.
