BY the first of March three or four
large apartments in Brownsville were

Leo Gitlin
And the League

Leo Gitlin is young Russian who
seven years ago started in Brownsville
welfare organization called the Con-
sumers' and Workingmen's League, in
wiling wage earners, tenants, landlords
and manufacturers Of the district into
union in the interest of the people
against the high cost of living. Its
members are family men with a rea-
sonable and creditable intention Of
lettering conditions for these families.
The cry Of "Bolshevik" and Socialist"
is raised against them, which is pos
sibly not SO much a reflection on them
as on those people with whom any at
tempt by the workers to better their
condition invites a contemptuous "Bol-
shevik."
The fact is that the league is non
partisan, has incurred the enmity of
the Socialist party by not using it's in
fiuence for their candidates, and it,
