allied 100 per cent plus organizations
the Srd annual steel sub-district picnic
held here in Avon Park was success
in everv way
Steel workers from all over the sub
district with their families gathered
early and enjoyed the day.
In the afternoon the sport events
attracted the attention of the workers.

Err.
Too Much For KIucks
c. E. Ruthenberg, executive secret
airy Of the Workers" (Communist)
Party was introduced by Comrade w.
j. White. Comparing the fake demo
cracy existing in America with the
workers and peasants government of
Soviet Russia was too much for the
K. K. K. who are strong in these parts.
The park management insisted that
the meeting discontinue and when
Max Salzman of the Y. W. L. started
to speak on the imperialist invasion
OF China a squad oflcops, kluxers and
associated law and order patriots ap-
peared and stopped the meeting. Avon
Park is but short distance from
Niles, Ohio, where the khan riots took
place a short time ago and the law
and order brigade were fearful that
another such battle would occur if the
speaking continued. 1t was reported
that the kluxers were assembled out
side the park ready to raid the meet
ing. Across from the meeting place
sweating christians were jazzing their
heads off on the dance floor but the
kluxers didn't seem to worry much
about dancing on their Sabbath Day
Just so nothing was said against the
government Comrade Ruthenberg
held the audience for one hour and
a half and made one of the finest
speeches ever delivered. in the steel
valley. The workers present were Civ
en- an example of the brand Of demo-
cracy dished out in the steel valley
when the kluxers and cops stopped
further speaking. This backed up
everything charged by the speaker
against the fake democracy exhibited
in America.
The sub-district executives announ-
ced that Comrade William F. Dunno
of the DAILY WORKER will be the
principal speaker at a Hands on
China" mass meeting to be held Sun
day, June Fl, at D. m. at the Ukra-
inian Hall-5251h West Rayen Ave-.
Youngstown, Ohio.
