FREE SPEECH

The clause in organized labor's re-
construction program, demanding the
enforcement of the right of free
speech and peaceful assembly, no
doubt has been melted by the actions
of soldiers and sailors and otherwise
peaceful citizens, in breaking up the
meetings of the b6lsheviki, anda in
tearing down the red flag.
Organized labor can not Oxford to
identify itself with the bolsheviki ele-
ment, or allow that element to con-
troll it, as it has been doing in certain
localities. If organized labor turns
bolshevik it is lost. We do not be-
lieve that there is any danger of that,
however, for we still hold that the
majority of workingmen have too
much sense to listen to the red radi-
Gals. However, they can no longer
afford to be identified with these agi-
tators, or misrepresented by them.
The parting of the ways must come
soon or there will be. no parting. 1t is
up to the workman. He must either
rid his union of the bolsheviks, or be-
come part of the bolshevik movement
himself.
