REFUSED PERMIT TO
 SPEAK IN NORWICH STREETS

The Norwich chief of police. said Miss Kate Amter of New York. refus- ed her a permit Monday to hold an open-air meeting in the streets of Nor Eieh under the auspices of the Work ers' Party of America. The subject was to have been the War of The Glasses. and the objection of the police she said was as follows: T have new CT heard of the Workers Party, don't know what kind of an organi- zation it is, and there is no war in Norwich. If you want to have a meet ing, you had better hire a hall"
 The Workers Party of America came into existence early this year, said Miss Amter through the direct demand by the workers of this coun- try for real working class political ex- pressian. The Workers Party pledges itself uncompromisingl to the cause of labor both on the industrial and the political field.
 Miss Amter stated to The Bulletin Monday night that she was sorry that the police here had prevented her from giving the workers of this city a chance to hear from the party but that she hoped at some future day she would be able to address a local gathering.
