WORKERS PARTY
WILKES-BARRE !,
MEETING Held ;
Police and Legion Do
Not Interfere

WILKES-BARRE, Pa, Feb. IA
Reports that the Workers Party ala
not hold their Lenin memorial meet
ing here last Sunday are not true.
The meeting was held but not In the
place originally planned. The ponce
prevented the use Of the hall where
the meeting was advertised but sne
people in charge Of the meeting alesr
consulting with the speakers merely
moved to another place and proceed
cd with their meeting.
All the news agencies and news
paper correspondents ignored the
meeting that was held and coneen-
trated their attention on the fact that
the meeting did not take place where
it was advertised to have taken place.
The Police Are Notified.
The Workers Party and the speak
ers at the Lenin memorial meeting
felt that it was important to hold a
meeting and force the police to make
arrests and thus bring the whole
question of free speech into the
court. The police were notified that
a Lenin memorial meeting was in
progress 10 minutes after it had
started but they did nothing about 1t.
The speakers at the meeting and
the audience were in the hall where
the meeting took place about two
hours but nothing unusual happened.
Police, and American Legion menu
bers drove up to the hall in autos and
stopped few minutes and then drove
away.
Double the Party Membership.
Since the free speech fight started
here the membership of the Workers
Party has doubled.
Alvin Olmstead a member of the
American Legion in Philadelphia was
a speaker at the meeting and after
the meeting went to the American
Legion hall and told the Legionaries
what he thought of them and their
brand of Amerieanism. He was
roughly handled and escorted to the
station and put aboard a train. Ohm
stead is not radical or even a liberal
but he came to protest against the
violation of the Workers Party's con-
stitutional rights.
Another mass meeting will be held

free speech will go on in spite of the
American Legion.
Rose Pastor Stokes who was one Of
the speakers particularly objected to
by the Legion read her speech so as
to be able to nail any misquotation Of
her speech that might be made in the
capitalist press.
Binghamton Memorial Meeting.
BINGHAMTON, N. Y, Feb. A.

York City as the principal speaker

and the Role of the Communist Party

the toiling masses Of the world was
in founding a centralized world party
and formulating for it the realistic
tactics by which the workers viii

Case.

Brownsville, Tex, March 5.-Advo-

companied by DR.. NJ. w. Sherwood

mander. left Tuesday for Washington
where they will appear before officials
of the Veterans Bureau relative to
securing a change i. the rules affect

suffering from tuberculosis. They will
also confer with officers of the bureau
in connection with the proposal to
have the federal government purchase
the sanitorium at Kerrville, erected
for the treatment of ex-service men
suffering from tuberculosis.
Under the rule promulgated by the
Veterans Bureau, 10 ex-service man
afflicted with tuberculosis is eligible
to compensation unless he has ply
sicians' certificate that the disease was
contracted within three years after
discharge from the army. There are
scores of ex-service men in Texas,
Judge Advocate Davenport states. who

term of army service, but who have
failed to secure a physicians certifi-
cate to that effect within the three
year period prescribed by the rules.
These men are clearly entitled TO

to be used as target in the maneuv
ers.
The battleship Satsuma. now al
Yokosuka. is likewise being stripped
of her warlike fittings. The battlcshir
Settsu and the cruiser Ibuki at the
Kure naval station will have had
their teeth reroved by the end of the
period. Out of four warships at Sas-
ebo. the coast defense ship Shakishima
and the cruiser kurama have already
been scrapped. the coast defense ship
Hizen and one other vessel are in the
process of dismantling. The battleships
kateri and Kashima at Maezuru have
also been scrapped with the exception
of a part of their side equipment.
While it was recently announced
that the navy department would rush
TO completion several light cruisers,
the construction work has been some
what delayed on account of the dam
ages suffered by the navy in the Sep
TENDER disasters, especially at YokO-
suka. This base of operations in the
northern defense area is rapidly being
restored. however. and normal opera
tons both in construction and repair
work are expected 10 soon be possible
as result of the concerted efforts to-
ward reconstruction work.

There are probably more ex-service
men in Texas afflicted with tubercu.
losis than in any other state, as hun
dreds of them .came here after leaving
the army to secure the benefits of the
Texas climate and many of them failed
to get physicians certificates within
the time limit prescribed by the Vet
Grams Bureau rules. 1t is distinctly
unjust to deprive them of the assist
ance they deserve and / am confident
that when the matter is properly pre-
scented to bureau officials they will
see the injustice of the rule"
The proposition of selling the Kerr
vile sanitarium to the federal govern
ment has been under consideration by
Texas Legionnaires for some time. The
institution is now under lease to the
Veterans Bureau by the state. The
is ideally located for the
treatment of tuberclar patients, and

endorse the plan of purchasing the

MUSCLE SHOALS BILL READY TO
 REPORT HOUSE
MEASURE PROVIDES SALE OF NITRATE PLANT TO FORD,
 IN CASE HE WANTS TT

WASHINGTON, D. O., Dec. IT, The House bill providing for the sale of Muscle Shoals to Henry Ford was presented to the Senate today by pre- vious agreement.
 A message came from Detroit to- day in reply to a request of senators that Henry Ford renew his bid for the property:
 Answering yours of yesterday MT. Ford's offer was withdrawn by him in letter to the president October 15, and will not be renewed.'
 Senator Mcclellan, democrat, of Tennessee, one of those who took up the question with the Detroit manu facturer, said he did not know how to interpret the reply.
 The task of finding a solution for the long continued Muscle Shoals problem confronted the senate today, unanimous consent agreement at the last minute giving it the right of way.
 In efforts to reach a common ground on which the various factions can stand, there is a general disposition to look to the White House for guid ance. Leaders of the forces support ing the numerous proposals for dispo- sition of the Muscle Shoals property generally feel that nothing can be accomplished now without the admin istration's support.
 Unless the president takes the sit uation in hand there is a possibility that debate on the subject will extend over several days without a chance of ending in anything but deadlock.

One of the men gave out, and was carried short piece by his comrades. until he died from cold.
