Communist Party in America.
E. E. BAKER
Secretary.

So far as we know there has been
no rapid growth of the Communist
Labor Party of America" organized
about a month ago. This party has
adopted the emblem of the soviet
party of Russia, scythe and hammer
surrounded by wreath of wheat. A
suggestion that the torch be added
was voted down in the meeting, which
by the way enthusiastically cheered
every mention of Bolshevism.
The labor element Of the United
States does not need leadership from
Russia, as the. steel strikers have al
ready found out. The sane labOrers
in this country are just as much
American as anybody else, and they
will have nothing to do with such for
eign foolery. The people of the United
States can count on all classes of this
country to remain true to the ideals
of this government, however much
some individuals may cry out agains
them.
