Which means that Max Lerner theo.
retically owes the City Of Chicago
one dollar, but doesn't really have to
pay 1t. The detectives said Lerner
"hollered louder than anyone else"
An impossible feat. ! Everybody hol
Tered louder than everybody else, par
ticularly the socialists, who were con
tinually yelling.
While those who gained Abundance

A very reputable Jewish writer, A. R.
lchie, was stopped and showed out
side by a socialist, one Benenson.
This Benenson also poi ted out M.
Goralek to slugKers, who promptly
obeyed orders and made Goralek look
like beef stew before cooking.
Aside from Max. Lerner, the other
workers arrested were released at
once. Comrade Lsrner, late for the
opening session of the party school,
was on deck at the afternoon session
to give another, but more theoretical
analysis Of Marxism.
Abramovich was well guarded prior
to coming to the meeting. He was es-
corted to the platform from a secret
backdoor entrance, by big squad Of
police, plainclothes thugs, and socialist
committeeman. Abramovich was kept
In seclusion at the Morrison Hotel
prior to the meeting.
The socialists dared not assault the
men, tho cursed vigorously by them
for their cowardly beating of little
girls. Instead, when their violence
had precipitated resistance by the
men, they summoned the police to beat
up the men. Their alliance with the
capitalist government was open and
shameless.
Among the shouting, cursing, vel
ling throng, with newspaper photo
graphers setting OF flares for picture,
Abramovich stood angry but helpless
on the platform.
Once when he managed to make
himself heard as far as the boxes,
where the DAILY WORKER reporter
sat (until he was thrown out) he cried
out that Russia under the car was
l better place than under the Soviets."
At this ridiculous observation, even
he yellow socialist chairman, Nor
cis Siskind, so-called labor editor"
Of the Jewish Forward, saw that the
orovocation was unwise, as the bulk
Of the audience arose in one cry of
rage. He tried to quiet the crowd, but
without avail. r
Mentions Name Of Luxembourg.
NOW about Rosa Luxembourg" said
Abramovich, with appraised arm
clutching a document. But with what
lie the menshevik was going to de-
fine the name OF the woman he and
his German fellows murdered, will ne
yer be known to the Chicago workers.
Yells Of men, screams of women be-
ing beaten by socialist sluggers with
blackjacks, fights going on in a dozen
places at once, men and women tumbl-
ing over chairs, filling the aisles with
knots Of shouting, fighting workers
battling the sluggers and the police
all Of which had been going on in
one continuous performance for two
hours and more--this was too much.
Abramovich quit suddenly.
Almost in the middle Of sentence,
when Siskind, of the Jewish Daily
Forward, who had threatened the aud
fence at the beginning that the pro-
lessor was going to speak, and finish
decided that he had enough and told
Rafael that the show was off. The
rat of the interventionists mumbled a
few words nobody heard, and down
came the curtain.
The Workers Take Possession.
Leaping to their feet, clambering
on the chairs and cheering Justify, the
workers took possession. I'VE want
no condescending saviors to rule us
from judgment hall" rank out the
song Of the International In mass vol
ume as the audience of workers stood
and sang.
Three cheers for Soviet Russia!"
And the hurrahs shook the building.
Down with Abramovich!" The win
dows ratified and the socialist slug
gers, flabbergasted and helpless, look
ed for some place to crawl into.
Marching VIGOROUSLY to songs and
cheers, the workers streamed out of
the Garrick to join in the joyous
crowd outside. They had won. The
socialist sluggers had beaten them in
vain. The cops were only an irrita-
