LOS ANGELES, Cal, July 1S-(By
Mail) Yesterday a meeting was held
a, Music Art Hall, 233 So. Broadway,
to protest against the terrible condi-
tions prevailing in China as result
Of endless abuses inflicted upon the
Chinese people, by the imperialistic
powers of a greedy world. This
gathering was a acknowledgement
affair, in which various labor organ
izations took part Not the least note
worthy was the interest manifested
by representatives of the Kuonintang
(Chinese national party and the
japanese Workers Association.
Our native brothers of color were
there also and, therefore, helped to
complete the picture OF a healthy,
real proletarian unity, regardless Of
color, race, nationality or creed. The
speakers announced were: Rev. G.
Bromley Oman, of the church of all
nations: Clinton J. Taft, director A.
c. L. L.; Emanuel Levin Of the Work
ers Communist Party, and repres-
entatiyes of the Kuomintang, and the
Japanese Workers Association.
Church Head Shuns Mixed Crowd
The hardness Of the. procedure to
start the meeting was partly due to
the changeable minds Of Rev. OMAN
and his wife, from whom he had to
have permission to speak So free
speech does not seem to be popular in
that family. We all know that a wo-
man has the privilege to chance her
mind, but it is generally believed that
preachers are men of their word
Rev. Oman used to live in China
and, therefore, he is more or less
familiar with the conditions in that
suppressed country. He had promised
Director Taft to speak, and even came
down to the hall, but he got cold feet
after looking at the program. He OBJ
jected to the parties under whose
auspices the meeting was held, and
also expressed disapproval of the re-
cognition of Soviet Russia. One could
hardly expect such a stand of man
who claims to be an all around mixer
of nationalities in his Church of All
Nations"
Intolerance
Two years ago, Rev. Oman tried
to break into the house of "Goslings''
las a liberal) But did not make it.
1t that his reason for being intoler-
ate today? Comrade Levin ran for the
same Office this year. And now this
"broad-minded" gentleman refuses to
speak from the same platform with
''narrow-minded" fellow victim of the
same forces that kept Oman out from
the board of (mis) education two
years ago.
Comfort Prisoners
William Sneiderman (the red-head-
ed boy orator. was chairman. He an
nounced that the A. c. L. U. wants
to collect old papers and magazines
to be sent to the political prisoners.
Then his mind flow across the
ocean and said: THE A. F. of L. has
long way to travel before it reaches
up to English labor in organization.
Glass Struggle
When the first speaker of the even
ing, representative of the Kuomintang
party. took the floor, all hands ap-
plauded. Imperialism must perish
from the earth" he said. After having
mentioned Karl Marx, he delved into
the class struggle at Shanghai, China.
He pointed out in details the demands
of labor. you, workers." he cried,
must force the hand of the govern
ment. Take the soldiers away from
Shanghai. Hands OF Chinal" (pro-
ionged applause).
News for President
Comrade Levin outlined the Chinese
question from the standpoint of the
Workers (Communist) Party. He read
IL Hands Off China" resolution. It
passed unanimously and was directed
sont to the President, members of con-
gross and TO the press.
Clinton ]. Taft also spoke. He was
strongly opposed to the stand taken
By Oman.
Jap Workers Ready
THE workers Of Japan are willing
and ready TO stand by the Chinese
AnJ american workers." was the
closing remarks by the Japanese re-
preventative dong applause).
