Thirty-One Join Up
In Hammond Branch
Of Red Youth League

A large branch of the Young Work
ers' League was organized in Ham
mond, Tuesday night, after an ad-
dress by Barney Mass, who spoke to
two hundred young workers of Ham
mond, most of them employees of the
Standard Steel Car company, and Sc
cured 81 applications for membership
in the league.
Hammond is typical of many indus
trial towns in the Chicago district,
and the enthusiastic reception given
to Mass organization speech, togeth-
er with the large number of appli-
cants, is significant indication of
organizational possibilities around
Chicago.
Mass appealed to the young work
ers to have an organization of their
own, separate and distinct from the
rich boys fraternities and clubs. He
explained the class struggle, and gave
examples of the injustices heaped up
on the young workers by the capital
ist system. Karl Reeve acted as
chairman.

Home of Union ifw
Head Damaged by
Bomb Explosion

A bomb early yesterday wrecked
the front porch of the home of James
c. Petrillo, president of the Chicago
Federation of Musicians, 5459 Bere-
nice avenue.
Petrillo had ust called a general
strike of Chicago musicians for Labor
Day, Sept. 1, as the latest move in a
wage controversy with the Chicago
Theater Managers Association, which
refused to grant the union demands
of ten per cent wage increase.
A series Of anonymous letters ad-
dressed to Petrillo, and threatening
that his home would be wrecked If he
did not resign from his position as
head Of the Musicians Federation,
was received last October. The let
ters gave no indication of the motive
for the outrage.
Police suspect that these letters
were written by the same man, or by
an accomplice OF the man, who last
week called Mrs. Petrillo on the tele-
phone, demanding that she persuade
her husband to give up his job in the
union, and threatening harm to the
entire family.
There were no internal troubles in
the union" said Petrillo today. 81

ing the hardships and dangers of at
tempting any sort of organization of
the Negroes in Alabama, Mississippi
and Texas, then introduced S. B. Rob-
inson, commissioner of the Universal
Negro Improvement Association for
Mississippi and Louisiana, who he
said had done heroic work in 'prizing
up the southern part of the country" T"
Mr.. Robinson told of the work ''in
the Southland, among men who have
no regard for human life" He said
the lethargy had been so great that
"the only thing the Negroes wanted
was Jesus-and let the white man
have all the rest" He declared that
the organizing work and propaganda
of the U. N. /. A. were causing the
Negroes of the most backward regions
Of the South to stop singing that old
song.
Fred E. Johnson of Detroit said that
yesterday the Negro was slumbering,
but that such a time had passed away
for the black man. He attributed the
awakening in large measure to the
work Of the leader Garvey. He de-
clared that the incarceration of Gar
vey would not succeed in stopping the
organization. He referred to several
Negro intellectual leaders as having
had hand in the indictment affair
and asked his hearers to tell these
men ito make this their last attack
on Marcus Garvey. And tell Coolidge
that, tool" he said. Pausing a mo-
ment, he then shouted, "And tell the
Ku Klux Klan that. tool"
May Reconsider X, X. X.
The latter remark, coming after the
evasive action that was taken on the
Klan question, seemed to be meant as
a hint that all that was to be said
about the Klan question was not con-
tanned in the Official resolutions.
Later Johnson said, IF you have a
gun In my face, I'll buy you an ice
cream soda. Yes, I'll smile and talk
pleasant But you had better not lay
that gun down and turn your back on
me. Marcus Garvey can't afford to
say some things because Of the posi-.
tion he is in"

U. S. STANDS PAT
ON JUST DEMANDS
OF NICARACUANS
American Comm an
Game Laid Open
tey rho Federated Press,

WASHINGTON, Aug. 14.-Former
Minister Weitzel, who represented
the State Department in Nicaragua
when the American bankers gained
possession of the national railroad Of
that republic, is returning from Lon
don with Secretary Hughes. Weitzel
has been abroad some time, and while
he has been absent an attempt to
recover 100000 in taxes, paid by the
Nicaraguan government on it's 40 per
cent Of the shares of the railroad
company created by the American
bankers in New York, has lain DOR
mant. 1t is expected that the case
will now come up again for action.
According to the Nicaraguans, they
permitted the bankers to incorporate
the railroad company in the United
States, not knowing that they must
pay war taxes. When they protested
their share of a. tax of 100000 col
lected in five years, they were turned
down. But Weitzel had returned to
Washington from Nicaragua, and he
offered to secure the refund on SS
per cent contingent-fee basis. Former
President Emiliano Chamorro was at
that time minister in Washington,
while his uncle was president. Then
Weitzel was called to Europe.
President Martinez, progressive,
now proposes to appeal the case with
out the help Of Weitzel, and to turn
the entire 100000 into the national
treasury-if he is able to get it from
Mr. Mellon.
He has been warned, however, that
Weitzel is very close to the State
Department, and that he is taking
dangerous chances.
