the police, acting under orders of
Public Safety Director Barry, will also
speak.
Police Interfere.
Barry made the arbitrary ruling
that no collection would be permitted
for political prisoners in Europe, and
when an attempt was made at the
April IS meeting to take the collec-
ton anyway, the police dispersed the
meeting.
The affair received considerable
publicity in the local press, and the
American Civil Liberties Union, thru
it's local attorney, NJ c. Harrison, took
the matter up with Barry as being
an unwarranted infringement of civil
liberties. Barry also was severely
criticized by the progressive wing in
the city council, where he has quite
bit of opposition. -
To Discuss White Terror.
This meeting will deal with the
white terror in Poland, Bulgaria, and
other Baltic and Balkan states the
harsh sentences given Crouch and
Trumbull, Communist soldiers in the
U. S. army on Hawaii; the deporta-
ton campaign of the government
against Communists and radicals; the
various oppressive laws on the books
and proposed, including the criminal
cvpdicolicuo louyc ond Iou,e mo II, - tl,,
foreign-born; and the Severino case.
All these questions are related in
being the manifestations of world
wide offensive against the working
class, which is exhibited in a govern
mental policy of suppression of the
militants among the workers, both
Communists and the more progressive
n-Communist elements as well.
The Severino case is one which in
wolves issues of national Importance.
The government is making an effort
to have his citizenship papers can
celled, which he had held since 1915.
The case was begun in October, 1923,
but has been postponed from time to
time. 1t has now been set for hear
ing on May 81, in the federal district
court in Cleveland.
Attempt to AnnuI Citizenship.
The case of the government rests
on their contention that Severinos
statement that he was attached to
the principle of the constitution of
the United States" made when he ap-
piled for naturalization, was untrue,

NEGRO WORKERS
HEAR WHITEMAN
ON IMPERIALISM
Labor Congress Subject
of Cleveland Meeting

CLEVELAND, May 14.-Prepara-
tions are being made by the local
committee on the American Negro La
Dor Congress- for packed house on
Thursday, May 81, when Lovett Fort
Whiteman,. of Chicago, organizer of
the congress, speaks in the Buelah
baptist church, S1st and Cedar Ave,
at p. m.
Fort-Whiteman has recently return
ed from Soviet Russia, where he de-
voted considerable time to the study
of the problem of the colored races,
which make up large percentage of
the worlds population, but are sub
ject to the domination of the white
imperialistic nations of Europe and
America.
Negroes Must Eight as Workers.
-Whiteman's belief is that the
American Negroes must and will fur
nish to a large extent the leadership
for the Negroes of the world in their
part of the struggle of the colored
races from imperiaIistic exploitation
and oppression. He believes that this
struggle must be carried on, however,
only as part of the general struggle
of the working class for freedom
from the domination of the capitalist
class.
Inasmuch as these views are some
what different from any program Of
fered to the Negroes of Cleveland
hitherto, large amount of interest
is expected to be shown in his talk.
The Garvey movement is to said to
have large following in Cleveland,
but many influential Negroes realize
that Garvey's program is not just
what the race demands.
Negro Union Members Take Part.
The committee arranging the meet
ing include the following prominent
Clevelanders: ]. d, Whitlow, mem
Der Cleveland Building Trades Coun-
Gil; Rev. B. G. Glover, of the Beulah
baptist church; Frank Fitzsimmons,
Gabriel Walters, Of Building Labor

false, and fraudulent" The prosecu-
ton maintains that Severino believed
since 1907, in violent revolution and
armed instruction directed against
the government of the United States,
and all other governments founded
upon the capitalist system of econo-
N.Y." and therefore, the attempt is
made to have his citizenship annulled
as fraudulently obtained.
One issue involved in this case will
doubtless be the right of a Commun-
list to United States citizenship. If
the government can establish this,
many foreign-born workers will be de-
prived Of citizenship rights, including
the use of the ballot, and the right
to be candidate for Office. Such a
situation would be striking evil

Severino has been candidate for

Charley Schwab's
Dicks Fail to Stop
May Day Demonstration
BY A. BURLAK.
Especial to The Daily Worker)


BETHLEHEM, Pa, May 1S-The
international May Day meeting, the
first ever held in Bethlehem was big
success. Three speakers addressed
the meeting -Comrade Wicks in Eng
fish, Comrade Duranovich in Ukran-
ian and Comrade Barabosh in Hun
garian.
Some workers of Bethlehem worked
on International May Day because
they did not know what it means.
others worked because of the iron
ruling of this city. If they dared to
take one day off for holiday Charley
Schwab would make it hot for them.
Charley Schwab was among the
first to disqualify the child labor
amendment. BY enslaving the chill
dren he makes the parents slave
longer hours and for. lower wages.
Charley Schwab employs agents and
stool pigeons to spy upon and break
up Communist meetings.
Despite the threats from Charley
Schwabs policemen to break up our
meeting it went off successfully. In
order to lead them off our track, we
called the meeting at different hour
than the one advertised and every
thing went off in fine shape. The
workers all appreciated the meeting.
In the evening we held May Day
dance which was attended by all who
came to the meeting.
