Text of the Resolution.
George R. Kirkpatrick spoke vehem-
emily in behalf Of Mooney. and ac-
claimed Washington. Hamilton and
! Adams as the Bolsheviki Of their day.
The meeting finally got around to
passing a resolution, which said In
| part:
I'VE. Socialists Of New York. in mass
meeting assembled. send our fraternal
! greetings to the Socialists of Germany.
! We welcome with Joy the downfall OF
the military autocracy brought about
, by the efforts OF the revolutionary
workers.
I'VE emphatically protest against
Intervention in any form on the part
OF the allied Powers and the United
States in the internal affairs Of the
/ German people. We cannot do other
wise but interpret such intervention
AS an attempt to illustrate the revolu-
tionary aims Of the workers. We de-
mand that the newborn workers re-
public OF Germany be given the full
right Of DIFFERENTIATION.
| Now that the war against the Cen
trail Empires has been concluded. and
the ostensible need of safeguarding
supplies in Russia from falling into
the hands OF Germans-the reasons
advanced for military intervention in
Russia-has been removed, we call
J upon the United States Government 10
Immediately withdraw its troops from
Russian territory and to demand simi-
lar action from the other allied Gov
ernments.
I'VE pledge our support to the revo-
luton that began In Russia In 1917
and which has since spread to Bull
garia, Austria, and now to to Poland
and Germany. and which the united
power OF the reactionary and capital
list world could not prevent from
! spreading to other countries. We shall
work here with equal devotion and
equal fervor until the Industrial re-
! public Of America takes It's place
among the industrially free nations of
the world"

outside the armory OF the old Sixty.

men in uniforms did themselves and
within few minutes more than 6

night sticks and the worst part Ct the
lighting seemed over when a band OF
girl Socialists. some Of whom were un.
able to pronounce the English word:
