After that, the audience was divid-

and using their fists, attacked the
audience. Chairs were flying, and the
electric lights in the rear were turned
out. The police filed the hall.
Many women got hystericaI and
tainted, and the yellow gang on the
platform, fearing for their lives, sent
for the police with captain at their
head.
"We'il Treat EN- Rough"
The captain came and stood by the
platform, and ordered the committee
men to get out. He said, 1--WE will
treat rough any disturber." But this
helped very little. AS soon as Abram-
ovich started to talk, he was interrupt
ed by shouts: you are a traitor. You
support the counter-revolution."
The meeting was repeatedly inter.

and asked the audience to quiet down
An answer came from the crowd
Take out your hired sluggers and

The mass booed and shouted, rap

Abramovich that he is Scheidemann's
and Noske's friend They shouted
Your hands are still filed with the
blood of Karl Liebknecht and Rosa
Luxembourg. You want to kill US like
you did Liebknecht and Luxembourg, :"
the crowd shouted. The hall was turn
ed into real battle-ground.
Scratched faces and black eyes were
seen everywhere.
The big crowd walked out of the
hall in a mass demonstration for Sow

sang "The International" Shouts were
heard, Down with the traitors"

Abramovich spoke for only a few
minutes and had to stop abruptly.
Morris Lunin, one Of the members of
the Workers Party, asked for the floor
for ten minutes, to correct the false
statements made by Abramovich, but
was beaten and thrown out thru the
fire escape.
The traitors to the working class
with their renegade, Abramovich at
the head, who came here with the pur-
pose of spreading falsehood about Sow

when they tried to speak. The hall

Russia and the audience refused to
listen to Abramovich's lies
Altho hundreds of people were
attacked and many severely. wound
ed, by the detectives and police, the
workers fought for their lives and
shouted Down with the traitors"
In many corners Of the hall there were
pools of blood where gangsters had
beaten up members of the audience,
including women and children.
Near the ticket Office we're detec-
tives and Forward officials who
glanced over each ticket buyer, to see
that no class conscious worker was
allowed to enter the hall. After ques-
tons were asked them,s "Why did you
come to the meeting?" and after being
examined they were admitted to the
hall under the eye Of gangsters, slug
gers and detectives.
The Forward clique had prepared
themselves for real bloodshed. They
had murderers and drunken bandits
wearing badges of socialist commit
teemen. On one side of the nall is a
large room. The underworld gunner
were here drinking and shouting that
they would teach the Bolsheviks a
lesson this time. As soon as the
meeting opened, it could be seen that
something was about to happen.
1t could also be noticed that the
gangsters were ready to start as soon
as the orchestra started to play.

bers Of the United Mine Workers here
are surprised to learn from the circu
lar letter from international headquar
ters, that the international treasury
needs replenishing, in view of the
boast made by William Green at the
last convention Of District II, on the
strength Of the treasury. Green stated
that the treasury was very strong.
What happened to the funds since
then? Were they used up in printing
fake ballots and employing thugs tc
insure that Lewis and company were
properly counted in?
Money to Fight, Yesl
Militant miners are willing to pay
the dollar assessment and can assure
tho international officers that the or
tire membership of the union will also
pay it willingly If they know that the
money will be used to fight the operat-
ors and not to strengthen the Lewis
machine by placing another batch of
patriots on the payroll II the money
is to be used to fight the operators
who have violated the Jacksonville
agreement, and to put on an organizing
drive in the open shop territories
there is no doubt but the members
viii be more than anxious to pay the
assessment.
Walter Nesbit, secretary-treasurer,
OF District IL. has notified the locals
that the old agl pension plan, submit

knowing quite well that they cannot
get the necessary two-thirds vote as
the members are more interested in

better wages than a scheme for which
they must pay out Of their own peck
cts. The militants believe that tn,
coal barons who have grown wealthy
at the expense Of the sweat Of the
miners should be made to pay for old
age pensions and not the workers
themselves.
Harrington wants to get out Of the
old age pension plan so he got one Of
his henchmen to appeal to Lewis. He
is postmaster Of such tricks.
