Red Mustache.
HEARERS WILDLY CHEER

"Stupid Mayor New

low up his ban upon the red nag by
aboiishing his own RED mustache brought
howls Of delight yesterday afternoon
from 1000 persons gathered at 30
oialist meeting in the circle at Fifth
avenue and 11oth street
The suggestion was made by Louis
c. weitz while q number OF copo stood
by and listened attentively. In addition
he suggested that the Mayor should
get rid Of his own rcd nose"
weits characterized the Mayor as
-the most stupid Mayor New York ever
had" and going further said that It
would be difficult to ind any one az
all more stupid.
He pictured him TO the audience as
q bull in a Spanish arena charging the
red flag. and not reaiizing that 1t isn't
the flag but the toreador that he really
has to fear.
This was one of the mirthful spots
Of a meeting held under the auspices
Of tho local New York and Seventeenth
Assembly District Socialist party. at
which there were boots and Misses for
the raiders OF the Lusk Committee and
cheers for the prophesied social revo-
luton"
"Tribute" to President.
Another feature that greatly amused
the crowds was furnished by Frederick
Kraft, Socialist orator who was recently
saved from a fifteen-year prison SEN
tence by Presidential pardon. and who
showed his gratitude by referring to
the Chief Executive as 81. W. w. Will
son." at the same time pressing the
thumb of his right hand against his
nose in disrespectful manner.
The meeting was divided into three
parts with three platforms, at which the
speakers took turns. and It lasted from
early in the afternoon until late In the
evening; the crowds coming and going
as the talking continued. with few
reds" sticking along from the start
TO the finish. Many women with baby
carriages stopped to listen to the praises
OF the Russian Soviet Government, to
cheer Trotzky and Lenine.
On the fringe of the crowd lowered
agents OF the I. w. w. and Of the So
cialist Labor party. and one of the
former came near being arrested for
pinning up banner reading Protests
can't help-action Ia what We need"
This individual was compelled to take
his sign down from a fence, and a while
later the police found him hanging II
UP again elsewhere.
A number of the speakers referred
to the raid upon the Rand School and
other radical bureaus amid angry how'll
from the crowds. and Abraham Tuvim
who had como direct from the PEOPLES
House. stirred the mob to q hfxh pitch
or excitement by unfurling two banners
reading Down with Kolchak" and
Long Live Soviet Russia"
He waved these over his head and
cried: We will continue to dissemina to
Bolshevik propaganda in this country
We will not stop until the social revo-
luton Is brought about Prisons cannot
stop us. The Lusk committee cannot
stop us. There Is no form of persecu-
uon that can stop US The approving
roars OF tho crowd became 90 great thar
swarms left the other two meetings and
gathered around him as he continued
TO denounce the Government, his long
black locks and shaking in anger.
"Mother BIoor" stirs Crowd.
Another speaker to greatly stir IN.
crowd was the gray haired Ella Reed
Bloor. or Mother Bloor as she gen.
orally Is called. and this woman, in her
sixties, told remarkable tale about the
dissemination of Bolshevik propaganda
In prisons and among holders OF State
and Government positions; remarkable
n true.
She told how she had toured the West
and South visiting imprisoned "reds''
and attending many meetings "Our
people are continuing their fight, even
though behind the prison bars" she de-
clared. II will tell you how they have
succeeded. I have seen prison wardens
and keepers reading the Can and the
Lfberdtor. They are being converted by
our people.
Il have noticed thai many secret SER
vice men assigned to attend our meet
fngs are absorbing our propaganda to
such an extent that they are coming
over to our side" she continued.
She then told of a meeting in a West
ern town at which a large number of
police had been assigned TO see that no
violence was preached. And when that
meeting was over" she asserted, "sev-
eral OF the policemen came TO me and
asked II thought 1t possible for them to
be organized into a protective associa-
ton. told them that 1t would, and
believe the time will come before very
long when the police will Join the one
big union with us"
lsidore Polstein, chairman Of the meet
ing, evoked cheers when he glorified The
red flag OF revolution" as "the only nag
OF universal brotherhood and Justice
ana extolled Trotzky and Lenine. As
usual every mention OF the Kolchak Gov
eminent brought boos and Kisses from
the radical audience.
Albert Rugs Williams spoke from all
three platforms on his experiences in
Russia. drawing most beautifully
tinted picture of the Russian Soviet
system OF Government Mary McVicker,
who told the crowd that she came from
one OF the oldest colonial families and
that she had a son with the armv In
