Workers Hear the Truth
About Skrzynski

In order to show his iilustrious
guest, Count Alexander Skrzynski,
foreign minister in the Polish cabinet,
that the Polish government is not the
only one adept in the art of white
terrorism, Mayor Dever staged an ex-
hibition of the American brand Satur-
day.
On Saturday morning the Chicago
papers announced that lot of Chi
cago Poles were going to demonstrate
their disrespect for the visiting count
and the regime he represents by hold
ing a meeting in the heart Of the
Polish quarter, Division st. and Mil
waukee Ave. Mayor Deyer became
very much excited and announced that
the meeting would not be held.
Police Gets Busy Early.
Several hundred of the counts
countrymen who are not fooled by
either his title or the smooth words
he is famous for, gathered at the
/ above corner Saturday night prepared
30 tell him what they thought of him.
Mr.. Dever's bluecoats were on the job.
AS soon as group collected that
looked like meeting, the cops made
charge and drove them away. When
the persistent crowd re-assembled
again the performance was repeated.
One fellow who wanted to stand on
his rights as an American citizen, dis
covered that he didn't have any.
| Officer 1887 beat him up right then
and there.
Drive Workers to Hall.
The word was passed around the
crowd that the meeting would be held
at the Workers, Home, 1902 w. Divi-
sion. Directly after this the cops
made another charge and conveniently
drove the crowd in the direction of
the hall. By quarter after eight the
hall was jammed with several hun
dred people.
Thurber Lewis opened the meeting.
There is every reason in the world
why the Polish foreign minister should
be received with open arms by the
politicians Of American capital; the
Polish government has made itself
famous in the imperialist world for
repression, torture and murder Of the
workers and peasants of Poland. Such
accomplishments are looked upon with
admiration by our own politicians
who know they may be called upon
to emulate the bloody record of the
counts cabinet" Lewis said.
]. K. Gebert, secretary of the Polish
section Of the Workers (Communist)
Party spoke in Polish. He recited the
bloody record of the Polsih white ter
ror regime, reminding the count that
the workers of the world will not soon
forget the cowardly murders of Bagin-
sky, Wierczorkiewicz and dozens of
others who have fallen in the struggle
there.
ShuwaIov, StoIar, Engdahl Speak
Comrade Shuwalov told the story of
the brutal treatment of the Ukranian
national minority by the Polish pup
pet government in the Ukranian
language, and M. A. Stolar, speaking
in Russian, said that the bonds of
sympathy between the free workers
of Russia and the tortured and ex-
plotted workers of Poland is only en-
HANGED by the bloody measures of
the fake democratic" Warsaw junker
regime.
J. Louis Engdahl, editor of the
DAILY WORKER, declared that the
workers also believed in democracy,
but that it was working class DEM
ocracy of the proletarian dictatorship
that seeks to overthrow capitalist
rule.
A large collection was taken up for
the relief of working class prisoners
and their families in Poland as the
best answer American workers could
make to the unwelcome visit of a
spokesman Of Polish reaction respon-
sible for their Imprisonment.
