in Los ANGELES
ON NOVEMBER II
S. P. Attempts to Hurt
Other Groups

LOS ANGELES, Nov. 5.-The In
ternational Labor Defense, Local Los
Angeles, Is arranging a big Debs
memorial meeting Friday, November
IL, 8 p. m, at the Music Art Hall, 1893
South Broadway. Robert G. Whitta-
ker will preside. Prominent labor
speakers are scheduled to speak.
Local /. L. D. had originally planned
to arrange a Debs memorial meeting
together with the socialist party Of
Los Angeles. For this purpose a COM
mittee was appointed to call upon this
organization and present the request
for joint auspices.
On Monday noon our committee Wis
tied the Forward Office, where meet
ing Of the arrangements committee
for the socialist party was taking
place. There our delegates learned
that the Debs memorial meeting was
already scheduled, by the socialists,
for November IA.
S. p. Would Hurt IGOR.
A delegation from the Icor had also
called on this committee with the
plea to postpone the Debs memorial
meeting for another date, in view Of
the fact that their organization has
been working for the past three
months arranging a concert that will
raise money to purchase tractors for
the Jewish colonies in Russia This
affair has been long scheduled for No
vember IA, the same date now SEIZED
uled by the socialists for the Debs
memorial meeting. In spite of the
earnest pleas by the Icor delegates to
change the date for the Debs meeting
so as not to bring to naught all the
efforts and money spent by the Icor
for their concert, the committee has
fatty refused, altho admitting that
with the exception of paying de-
post on the hall they have not yet
begun to advertise their meeting. The
chairman Of the committee, Mr.. Leav-
lit, had suggested to the Icor dele
gates with cynical sneer that their
organization can easily postpone the
concert for another date.
/. L. D. Withdraws.
The /. L. D. committee had then is
sued a statement that It wfthdraws
it's request for joint arrangement of
the Debs meeting with the socialists,
as it will not participate in the crime
Of consciously injurying workers or
ganization that had spent energy and
money to arrange a benefit for a
worthy cause.
Get Clear Date.
In the opinion of the committee, it
is much easier for the socialists to
postpone for another date the Debs
memorial meeting than for the Icor to
postpone their concert. The l. l.. d.
will endeavor to arrange Debs
memorial meeting under date that
will not do injury to any organization
and where all the elements that loved
Debs and cherish his memory will be
able to gather and honor him upon his
death.

Los ANGELES, Nov. 5.--A report
to the Los Angeles Evening World
from Gallon, Ohio, reads, in part, as
follows:
THE prize, if such there be, for
mental yigor, energy and courage to
persist in the face of adverse criti-
cism for men who have passed the
three score and ten mark, should be
awarded to Bishop Montgomery
Brown, gray-haired 'heretic,' who eel
ebrated his list birthday this month
by announcing that he wanted to be
tried for something

difference for what / am tried, but
want to be tried for something he
said. I was almost dead when the
Protestant Episcopal Church brought
me to trial for heresy, and look at
me now. have lived more in the
past five years than l did in the pre-
vious 65. If could only manage to be
brought to trial for my Communism

Communists Without Knowing Il.
The bishop, in his mild-mannered
ways, pointed out that Communism is
as natural as evolution, sunrise, sum-
mer and winter. His views on war,
heresy, jails, police and crimes, etc.,
were all drawn into the discussion,
and so was the case with the present
system Of capitalist government.
Brown ''liked to do something" to
change the minds Of the people and
overthrow the obsolete methods now
in use" Therefore. he wants a trial
for my Communism" in order to prove
that Americans are Communists with
out knowing it.

ment oVer?" asked Americas forN

Bishop Browns ideas are not news
to readers of The DAILY WORKER,
but there is encouragement in know
ing that reading of this kind gets into
the hands of people less informed.
