| Investigated radicals to investigate the
| investigators. s. John Block, counsel
for the Rand School, announced at q
meeting held there last night that he
| would insist that this Grand Jury look
into the methods used by the Lusk COM
mittee to procure. execute and return
the search warrant under which the in
stitution's books and papers were seized
and the subsequent proceeding through
which the Attorney General has sought
to have the schools charter revoked.
He charged that the warrant had
been Illegally obtained, Illegally ex-
ecuted and Illegally returned. and he
charged that Attorney General Newton
had made affidavit to things he could
| not possibly have known In his petition
to have the charter revoked.

In collection Of 100 odd capitalistic
dollars to carry on the good work.
Norman Thomas Of tho National Civil
Liberties Bureau showed Just how black
It all was.
"out Of the golden mist which Wilson
ana the other idealists have been throw
ing about Paris" he declared. there IL
now besinning to appear the practical
form Of the most horrible project OF
imperialism the world has ever known.
Japan has been given imperialistic sway
over Shantung. Corea. Manchuria and
Siberia, where she Is already double
crossing her allies. Great Britain Is
mandatory-a pious phrase-of all Of
Africa and most Of Asia, not to men,
ton ireland, confirmed in the greatest
imperialistic enterprise of history.
France, the imperialist of Europe, il
raising the greatest standing army Of
her history which she expects to make
Germany pay for, while she consolidates
her sway with loans and private under
standings with Czecho-Slokavia and
Jugo-Slavia and plans to run a railroad
from Bordeaux to Odessa. And in
America the United States IL being de-
puted TO go in and clean up Mexico for
the other imperialistic capitalists, on the
threat that II she doesn't they'll do It
themselves.

and Sam Gompers Is the greatest capital

night" he said. "I heard a Lieutenant
Colonel and q Major in uniform. a Cath
Ollie priest and Presbyterian Minister
from Ulster violate the espionage law
again and again on the platform and
never a hair of their head was touched,
while the alsles and exits were jammed
In violation OF every fire and safety law

And Mr.. Erwin congratulated the
Irish on the political solidarity that he
said enabled them to get away with 1t
and keep De Valera here free. He in
sisted that the Rand School was founded
on the same principles upon which

Read Constitution in wilma Jail.
Alderman B. Charney vladek told the
audience that he had FIRST read the
Constitution of the United States while
In jail in Wilma, Russia, twelve years
ago.
IT was inspired by its greatness" he
said, but then what constitution would
not inspire a man in Jail in Wilma"
II Flo Ziegfeld ever hears Alderman
vladek make a speech Eddie Cantor at

He insisted, however, that bad as the
Constitution Ia he insisted on being pro-
tected by such clauses OF II as AFFORD
protection from the Lusk Committee and
itA likes He said he swore to that when
he became a citizen.
Scott Nearing wound up the meeting
with all his best intensity turned on.
After taking a fearful wallop at Sam
Gompers for the latters stupidity he as
serted that the only hope for this old
world was in the absolute union OF all
working class agencies. He told Of the
Just accomplished unifcation of the
French Socialist party and the Confeder-
alton General de Travail. He announced
that the general strike OF the workers In
France. Italy and England for July 21
was an effort to haul the imperlalistic
soldiers OF these countries out OF Russia
30 that the workers of Russia could unite
with those of England. France and Italy.
Some one in the audience suggested the
United States as an added starter In this
union. but DR.. Nearing. who has had ex-
perience with tho courts, refused to &C

that they adopt the advice Of the Apostle
that He shall not eat who does not
