save J. Olgin tell the truth about Ra-
fael Abramovitch, the counter-revolu-
tionary socialist" recently imported
from abroad for an. ,anti-Bolshevik
propaganda tours
simultaneously Abramovitch was
speaking further down the street to
an audience which Comrade Minor
characterized in his Speech as con
sisting of fifty policemen, some car
ist refugees, the wife of a wage-cut-
ting mill owner. and one baby who
had gone to Sleep" nfoa
When John ]. BaHan, district or
ganizer of district /, Fas chairman,
opened the meeting and introduced
the first speaker, there was wild ap-
plause, which was repeated many
times thruout one OF the most ell
thusiastic meetings ever held in Bos-
ton.
Shows Capitalist Development.
Minor pointed out the replacement
of the old simple" form or capitalism
by modern finance capitalist imperial
ism, and with it the driving OF the
class war into the international
arena The class struggle was now
consciously on world scale. He
showed that Abramovitch and the
yellow socialists are scabs on the
greatest strike in history, the Russian
revolution which, as the beginning
of the world revolution, has been I'M
successfully attacked by the imperial
ist armies of the world.
Quests of v. 5. A.
Minor pointed out that the United
States government which welcomes
grand dukes and duchesses, ex-baron-
esses and princes, and which perse-
cutes revolutionists, also laid down
the doormat" and welcomed Com
rade" Abramovitch; "comrade of Abe
Cahan, comrade of HilIquit, comrade
of Ebert and Noske, comrade of Berg
err" s1f
And now | may surprise you by
saying that Abramovitch is also a po-
litical comrade of Mr. Alexander
Berkman and of Miss Emma Gold
man, and comrade of the late Mr..
Gompers," said Minor
For in a historical sense, in every
thing but technical. sense, all of
these anti-Bolsheviks are blood-broth-
ers in the Second international"
With powerful irony, Minor built
up his denunciation Of the whole in
ternational gang of social democrats,
who are forces of counter revolution
in the imperialist phase of capitalism
He quoted Lenin: THE Second Inter-
national is dead. But" he said, lin
nature there is no destruction of mat
ter. The Second International is dead
as one form, but full of life of another
form. 1t is a huge corpse alive with
loathesome worms. One of these
worms is named Abramovitch," So
scathing was his satire that it pro-
voked great burst Of laughter and
applause. u
Why AbramoVitch?
Minor said Abramovitch had been
chosen for his counter-revolutionary
mission because he was a Jew, and
the imperialist governments knew
and dreaded the heroic role of the
Jewish workers in the working class
revolutionary movement. They want
ed to confuse the Jewish workers and
make them Indifferent to the new
drive against Soviet Russia for which
grand duchesses, harnesses, and a
whole crew of refugees have been
seeking help in America. After ex-
planning the class nature of parties,
and the function of the great working
class Communist Party Comrade Mi
nor closed with a challenge for Sow

olgin Arouses Enthusiasm.
Comrade Moissaye JusOlgin arrived
during Minors speech, and was warm
ly welcomed with applause. Olgin
spoke first in Yiddishr and then in
Russian, languages which the writer
unfortunately does not understand.
He spoke with much, fire, and his
great gift for satire delighted the au-
dience, and brought 3bim much APP
plause. He pointed out that Abram-
ovitch and company ara doing the dir
test work for the very forces that
used to Cypress them,o
Comrade olgin was followed by
Comrade Alice Biels of the Young
Workers League, who gave brief
report of the Abramoyitch meeting,
from which she had justlc Abram-
ovitch's speech appeared to have
been made up of the usual confused
and lying polemics, invented express.
