graduate, "but have postponed their
marriages in keeping with their
pledges. Others who have understand
ings with soldiers now in France be-
lieve it only fair to the men to give
them time to become readjusted After
all, two years is not so very long to
wait, and by that time the glamour of
war will have worn off and both will
be sure of their feelings"

Normal School here, refused to COM
ment to-day on the action of the state
educational authorities in asking the

Wire Strikers Parade
Before Offices Here
500 Attend Meeting and Ex'
press Belief That Favorable
Developments Are Due

Determined to convince the telegraph
companies that the wire strike is not
yet over, groups of strikers with Don't
Scab" signs on their hats marched in
front of the Postal Telegraph and West
ern Unuion offices all over the city
yesterday. The strikers expressed a
belief in ultimate victory, and there
was q feeling among them that some-
thing definite in their favor might be
expected to-day after the return Of
their leader, Percy Thomas, from the
Atlantic City Convention of the Amer
ican Federation of Labor.
Yesterdays meeting at the strike
headquarters in the Pulitzer Building
was attended by about 500 men. 1t
was the largest gathering since the
strike began.
"The fact that all these men Will
come here proves the untruth of the
statements by the companies that the
strike is broken" said Wesley Russell,
former general secretary of the Com
mercial Telegraphers' Union. "New-
comb Carlton, Of the Western Union,
and Edward Reynolds, OF the Postal,
say there are only thirty-fve men on
day contradicts them"
Striking employees of the Western
Union who wish to come back to work
will be referred to committees of their
comrades who have remained loyal,
1t was announced yesterday at the Of
fices Of Newcomb Carlton, president
of the Western Union Telegraph Com
pany. The committees of loyal en,-
ployes will report on the applications
for reinstatement to the superintendent
of their division, who will have the
final say. Loyal employees know the
recalcitrant elements, it was said, and
will not recommend for reinstatement
any who are likely to make trouble.

SOUiet Bureau Charges
Hostility at Inquiry
Investigation Of Bolshepisn, by
the State Committee Preju-
dicial, Says Statement Issued

The Russian Soviet Government Bu-
reau, which was raided by state troopers
few days ago, issued a lengthy state
ment yesterday, charging that the
Lusk committee which is Investigating
the activities of the bureau is preju-
diced and is conducting the investiga-
tion in a manner hostile to the bureau.
Everything shows" the statement
says, "that the plan is to persecute and
to villify the representative Of the Rus
sian Soviet government, absolutely re-
gardless Of the truth The delibera-
tons of the Lusk committee take place
behind closed doors. Even the pre-
tence that the hearings are public in
so far as newspaper men are permitted
to be present, is untenable in view
OF the fact that representatives of
newspapers who take a sympathetic
attitude toward the Russian Soviet Bu-
reau are either not allowed to be pres
ent or denied copies of the minutes of
the proceedings which are distributed
to other papers.
s'The committee" the statement con-
ing fact that Socialists in the United
States have been sending greetings to
the bureau, and that such greetings
have been cordially acknowledged by
the bureau. Inasmuch as, the Russian
Soviet government is Socialist gov
ernment, there ought to be nothing
astonishing about this fact"
The bureau in its statement also
charges the metropolitan press with
reporting these meetings in a preju-
dicial fashion designed to excite the
hostility of the people in general
against the Soviet government.
"rhe very fact" its statement reads,
that the prosecutors and the press
are employing such methods in their
campaign against our bureau should
be to every unprejudiced citizen suf-
ficient proof of the inability of the
prosecutors to base their accusations
on actual facts.
I'VE have nothing to conceal. We
invite full publicity. But if we are
prevented from bringing out the real
facts about our activities, it will not
be our fault if the American people
will be totally msinformed about the
situation.'

Emma Goldman and Alexander Berk-
man, the anarchists.
Reitman was Emma Goldman's busi-
ness manager from 1907 until 1917
when she was sentenced to two years
Imprisonment in the penitentiary at
Jefferson City, Mo. Since then Reit-
man has been in Chicago, where he has
organized the Dill Pickle Club, an imi-
tation of a similar Greenwich VILLAGE
institution.
well l guess the good old days of
free speech for anarchists are over
said Reitman yesterday at the Hotel
Brevoort. Emma is coming out of Jail
In September, prepared to make a fight
against her deportation, which was
part sof her sentence. I don't think
they can deport her, for it will be
found that her father was naturalized
in Rochester, where he voted for thirty
years. l don't think it will be so easy
for Berkman, who is in prison in At
lanta and who will be released at the
same time. They probably will show
that he is subject of Russia.
"Emma's followers in New York, Chi
CdSO ana Denver are planning to cele-
brate her fiftieth birthday on June 80.
Without red flags and outdoor demon
strations it will be comparatively sad.
Emma is a wonderful woman No
amount of imprisonment can keep her
spirit from marching on. 1t is ridicu-
lous to hitch up these bomb plots with
the anarchists Anybody who knows
Emma knows she would be one of the
first to condemn violence. She believes
in revolution through education.
