LIBERTIES UNION
DEFIES LEGION TO
WRECK MEETINGS
Threatens Court Action
Against Vandals

Court action against the American
Legion if it interferes with Lenin
memorial meetings scheduled in va
rious parts of the country was fore
cast in a protest wired to John R.
Quinn, national commander of the
American Legion. by the American
Civil Liberties Union today claim
ing that "the rights of free speech
and peaceful assemblage are at
stake"
Protests against threatened Le-
gion interference were also wired to
the mayors of Ansonia, Bridgeport,
New Haven, Hartford and Siam
ford, Conn, and Springfield, Mass.
The protests were sent following
the breaking up by armed members
Of the Legion of a Lenin memorial
meeting in Wilkes-Barre. Pa, on
Sunday. and after press dispatches
indicated that local Legion posts
contemplated action in Connecticut
and Massachusetts.
In reply to one of the Unions
kilograms, Mayor John c. Mead of
Ansonia has promised that the Lenin
memorial meeting scheduled for Sun
day at the city hall under the aus
pices of the Workers Party ''wIi
be permitted to go on despite oppo-
sition," if conducted in a lawful
manner.
The attention of the Legion COM
mandant was called to the resolu-
ton adopted by the Legion's San
Francisco convention, aimed at the
Ku Klux Khan, which characterized
as ''un- American, a menace to our
liberties, and destructive of our fun
damental law any group of individ-
uals, or organization. which creates
or fosters radical, religious, or class
strife among our people; or which
takes into its own hands the enforce
ment of the law, determination Of
guilt, or inhiction of punishment"
Suits for felonious assaults are
already being filed by attorneys for
the Civil Liberties Union against
members of the American Legion in
Wilkes Barre, as well as against
Mayor Daniel L. Hart Of that city,
who is alleged to have furnished the
raiders with police assistance.
In a telegram 10 the Union Mayor
Hart declared he would not tolerate
"any organization meeting in Wilkes
Barre which is opposed by the Amer
lean Legion. All meetings of this
character in the future will be- sub
mitted to the Legion committees for
approval before they are permitted"
Prof. Harry F. Ward, chairman
of the Civil Liberties Union, issued
a statement in which he said: NO
more dangerous precedent can Zoe
set than to turn oyer the regulation
of free speech and assembly to mil
itary organization. The meetings
in question are within the law. No
statute prohibits American citizens
from meeting to mourn the death Of
any person"

Home Rule GiUes
Mayor Cars POWer,
Says N. Y. Labor
Bv FREDERICK KUN

(stan Correspondent Of The Federated Press)
NEW YORK-Vigorous opposition
developed against the proposed Home
Rule Enabling Act during a hearing
before the special commission of the
state assembly. In general, the bill
envisages large transfer of power
from the state to city and town gov
ernments.
While the bill will probably be
overhauled and greatly modified, its
ultimate passage is considered GER
tain. The hearings at Albany, how
ever, have evoked hostile criticism of
the bill from important labor groups.
The substance of this criticism is
that it would grant mayors "czaristic"
power, that it would enable municipal
governments to perpetuate their rule
indefinitely, and that taxpayers would
be unable to stem the spendthrift
habits of prodigal local legislatures.
Speaking before the assemblymen,
John M. O'Hanlon, chief Of the State
Federation of Labor, warned them
that the bill, as now drafted, neglects
the referendum as method of pop
ular government. The Labor spokes-
man insisted that all charter amend
ments be submitted to the voters by
referendum. He demanded emphati-
cally that legislative power in New
York City be vested in the Board Of
Aldermen.

Death of Lenin
Brings a Rush to
Communist Party
lspeeIaI q The palIz workerl

MOSCOW. - Thousands Of work
ers have applied for admission to
the ranks of the Communist Party
since the passing of its great lead
er. Lenin's death has aroused a ire
mendous sympathetic response from
the peasants and industrial workers
and brought home to them the role
Of the organization in the salvation
Of Russia during the days of the
revolution and counter revolution and
recent changing economic conditions.
News of the recognition Of the
Soviet Government by rhe British
labor administration was received
quietly in Moscow, as something ex-
pected. 1t is felt to show that the
international position of Russia is
stronger than ever--in spite Of the
death of Lenin.
The Soviet Congress passed a
resolution in reply extending fra
-ternal greeting to British labor.
Press comment is that America
must speed up recognition or it will
be left far behind in the race for
trade.

tonished us that we remained speech
less on the subject.
Next the lady assailed the Rev. l..
o. Hartmann, editor of Zion Herald,
and amidst many innuendos and SUI
spicious gestures conveyed the infor-
nation that Rev. Hartmann was seri-
ously suspected of radical connections
too horrible to mention.
Again she turned to the Young
Workers League and displayed a
copy of the Young Worker, weekly
publication of the League. She ex-
pressed grave forebodings over the
future of the youth of the country if
such propaganda were permitted.
Asked if she thought this was also
from foreign sources, she surprised us
by saying, "Well, it is hard to tell,
but you Americans can realize what
this means" Evidently she thought
us safe with her condolences, so she
said she was a Canadian, but that she
had been here since she was very
young-obviously long time ago.
She implied that she considered her
self still a Canadian by referring to
us as "you Americans"
Exhibits Daily Worker
On one table was a complete file Of
the Daily Worker and the lady said
this was a particularly ominous de-
velopment-a Communist Daily pa
per. The Federated Press bulletin
was also prominently displayed.
Another table contained a display
of Communist literature, Communist
Party membership cards, stamps, but
tons, etc. A copy of Bishop Browns
Communism and Christianism" was
displayed and the guide almost for
got she was an elegant lady in heap
ing vituperation upon the Bishop. He
had disgraced "the cloth" and as an
Episcopalean, she resented such i'm
pudence. When she showed us dis
play of literature under the head Of
"Feminism" we were RECALLED with the
sinister Vaccinations of Miss Alice
Paul of the Woman's Party who is
endeavoring to destroy the American
home. The elegant guide had much
to say derogatory to "these maiden
ladies" who talk about how to run a
home; the implication being that the
conduct of homes is the exclusive
prerogative of New England ladies of
the Back Bay district. A peculiar
twist Of the lady's particular form of
reaction was exhibited in her de-
nunciation of the Woman's Party
effort to introduce an equal rights"
bill in various state legislatures on
the ground that such a bill would
destroy the protection Of women in
the home. In her opposition to that
bin she was unconsciously supporting

Khan, Not Russia,
Menaces America,
avs Arbitrator

The Arbitrator, a monthly liberal
publication, sees more likelihood Of
the Ku Klux Khan taking over the
American government than the So
viets and says:
even now senator's are afraid to
come out openly against the invisible
empire, altho they speak all they
know and more about Russia"
Americas refusal to discuss Rus
sia's invitation TO claim confer
ence that would bring acknowledge
ment, not only Of Americas claims
against Russia but Russia's claims
against America creates the suspi-
cion in the Arbitrator's mind that
America did send troops 10 Russia
and did lend money TO be used
against the Soviets and did propa-
gandize for the violent overthrow
Of the Russian government.

Nelson Sorenson, city agent for

gestion. "In looking over the list

Please make the changes as noted.
We can build our circulation more

Nothing can be more important
for the welfare of The DAILY

rade Sorenson suggests. We want
to be sure that every subscriber
receives his paper promptly and
regularly. An accredited city agent
can secure at any time a list of
The DAILY WORKER subscribers
in his city. With this in his pos
session he will not only be able
to assure first-rate service for all
subscribers but also he will be able
to know what subscriptions are ex-
piring and thus be able to secure
the renewals.
