BROOKLYN, N. Y, June "a. - Be-

American Shoe Workers Protective
Union has called off its strike in all
but six factories here. The strike con-
tinues at the plants Of the Premier

ments ON these injunctions are to be
made in court shortly. Workers still
on strike total 1000. Six thousand had
been out.
The strike began seven weeks ago,
following refusal Of members OF the

POLICE CLOSE
HALLS IN FALL

Protest Meeting for
Anarchists Barred

BOSTON, Mass, June "a. - The In
ternational Labor Defense protest
meeting at Fail River, Mass, was
stopped by order of the police. Prof.
Dana H. Canter and Robert Zelms of
Boston, who were to be the speakers,
found the hall closed and police guard
ing the entrance, telling them that the
meeting cannot be held. The meeting
was called in behalf of Diamantino
Texira, Antonio de Costa and Alver
Pereira, three Portuguese radicals ar
rested several weeks ago and are
being held for deportation on charges
of publishing a monthly anarchistic
newspaper.
The chief of police Of Fall River
told the speakers that he advised the
hall keepers not to rent the halls for
such meetings. The hall keepers told
the committee that the advice was in
form of an instruction. The Fall
River and Boston newspapers carried
big headlines before hand, telling that
police would prevent an anarchist
meeting.
Police guards were stationed near
all the other halls Of the city. The In
ternational Labor Defense branch is
determined to fight for the right OF
free speech and will try to hold an
other meeting.

FIREMEN and
POLICE MAKE
WAGE DEMAND
Ask More Money and
Present Reasons

Representatives of the city firemen
and police of Chicago yesterday pres
ented their arguments to the city
councils finance committee to show
why their wages should be raised $500
a year.
Most large cities and many smaller
ones pay more wages than Chicago,
which pays only $4,000 a year. New
York pays $4,000; so Jersey City and
Passaic. Even in Oakland, San Fran.
cisco, Los Angeles and Detroit the
firemen and police get $2,4OO.
OF 249 cities Investigated, 6S gave
the f1remen raise last year and Sc
are expected to grant fremen raise
this year. The Chicago firemen show
that their work is more dangerous in
Chicago than in other cities, 253 being
injured last year in line of duty. Tho
there are fewer lremen killed than
policemen, there is a greater average
number, by 20 per cent, of firemen
than policemen killed while at work.
There are less f1remen employed per
square mile in Chicago than in most
cities. Chicago has 1875 firemen per
square mile; New York 1872; while
others have as high as 1877 as in Bo-
ston, and Milwaukee with 24.6 men per
square mile.
Moreover, the national board of fire
underwriters states that the effective
ness of the Chicago firemen is high,
the per capita fire loss in Chicago
being 1925 a year; while in New York
1t is $316; and Boston, which has 20
firemen per square mile, has a per
capita loss of $619.

upon you to support these four broth

sound warning to the incoming G..

ically opposed to the present policies
pursued by the administration.
The brothers mentioned above de-

100000 Attend Last
Event at Mundelein

Armed sentries patrolled Mundelein,

celebration of the Eucharistic Con-
gress was held yesterday. Orig. Cen
eral John H. Clarity, in command OF
1,40O national guardsmen and Col.
Frank q. Rand, commanding the 132nd
infantry, established headquarters
near the railroad station that was
swarmed with thousands moving in
for the 10 o'clock mass and the Eucha-
ristic procession.
100000 Present.
Cordons Of troops and police
stretched from Chicago to Mundelein
on all main roads regulating the .traf-
flc.
The grounds were completely clear
ed the night before and at sunrise
yesterday the vast multitude began to
flow. The crowd was estimated at
between 100000 and 100000.
Medieval Show.
At ten o'clock the medieval show
began. The procession Of the blessed
sacrament" beginning at st. Mary's
On The Lake, stretched for more than
mile. The brilliant robes of the 600
mitred archbishops and bishops nut
tered in the wind, while 5000 nuns
(women are barred from such process
sions) stood on the side lines. THE
sacred host" was carried by the p0pe's
representative, Cardinal Bonzano.
Behind him came the ten cardinals
robed in red, while all around were
church banners, golden candlesticlrs
and shining mitres.
Huge Propaganda.
Thus ended the climax Of the
greatest and most stupendous religious
gathering ever recorded. Never has the
catholic church been SO successful in
its propaganda. The whole Chicago
press opened wide it's columns. The
city was turned over to the hierarchy
for four days. Police, state and ma
tional troops, were at their service.
Public men from the president to po-
lice magistrates paid homage to the
papal power. The attention OF the
world was riveted on the middle ages
pageantry Of the best press-agented
religious spectacle Of all time.

Seek Unity of Greek and
Roman Catholics in War
on Worlds Working Class
BY J. LOUIS ENoDAHL.

ONE of the big Indications that the
~ catholic church is on the de-
fensive against the worlds awaken
ing workers, is the fact that the
Eucharistic Congress in Chicago saw
open efforts being made to secure
unity between the Greek and Roman
branches of the catholic faith.
The schism that resulted in de-
veloping two wings of catholicism,
took place in the early dawn of the
christian era. That it has continued
to the present day is testimony to
the seriousness of the breach, which
had its basis in an Interpretation Of
religious dogma.
But the Greek catholic church had
the foundation practically blasted
out from under it when the Bolshe-
vik revolution swept the car, "the
little father of the Russian ortho-
dox creed, out of power, and shook
off the mental straightjacket of reli-
gion that had helped to hold the Rus
sian masses in darkness.
The Greek church got another
push into oblivion when the sultan
lost his job in Constantinople. This
was followed shortly by the escape
of the Greek catholic ecumenical
patriarch, Gregory, hurriedly taking
his leave on British warship. He
is now domiciled on Mount Athos
(The Holy Mount at Salonica,
Greece. 1t is Greece that British i'm
perialism uses as catspaw for its
attacks on the Angora Turkish gov
eminent and to maintain its position
in the Near East.
Thus the Greek catholic church
survives as an instrument in the
hands of British imperialism. The
Ecumenical Council at CONSTANT
nople, with patriarchs at Alexandria,
Egypt; Jerusalem, Palestine, and
Antioch, in Syria, indicate the CEN
tiers in which the Greek church sim
operates as the agent of British tory
rule.
This was the background of the
joint religious ceremonies held, for
the third time in the history of the
christian world, this time in the
Greek catholic church of st. Mich
olas, on Chicago's northwest side,
about which cluster human rem
nants of the deposed czarist regime.
There is no dispute but that the
Greek catholics are about ready to
acknowledge the supremacy of the
pope at Rome. Here in the midst
of Chicago's Russian colony, arch
bishops, bishops and lesser lights of
both churches shouldered with those
who once called themselves dukes
and generals in the gone czarist
Russia, and still try to maintain the
fiction in this country. Altho, the
churchmen present were from many
