City Attorney Thinks Decision

PHILADELPHIA August l2.-City
Solicitor Joseph +. Gatfney does not
believe the SeSquicentennlal EXpoSl-
ti"n will have to be closed on sundays
as a result OF the ruling Of Judge I'd
win O. Lewis which indicated that

Judge Lewis opinion was made pup
lie last night IN deciding the appeal
of r.. l.. Austin, director general OF
the exposition. from the 81 fine ana
$3.50 costs imposed by magistrate
for alleged violation of the SUNDAY
laws of 1874. The court held that
Director Austin merely was an en-
plove of the Sesqui, and placed respon-
sihilitv for the sunday opening upon
the board of directors. The convlc-
non was set aside and the fine order
ed RENTED.
Ruling on One Case Only.
The court. however. pointed out that
higher courts have recorded rather
strong opinions that appear to render

that of The appeal of Mr. Austin.

to SOVIET Russia Now
in Increased Activity

NEW YORK, Nov. 29. After a
comparative lapse of activity in the
New York branch of Technical Aid
Society for a short time, the branch
has again renewed its activity, par
ticularly in helping to organize indus
trial co-operatives for Soviet Russia.
In the past the Society for Techni-
cal Aid to Soviet Russia concerned It.
self only with organizing agricultural
communes, but as a result of the in
dustrial development in Soviet Rus
STA, there has arisen an urgent need
in industrial co-operatives organized
here and sent to the U. S. S. r. with
all necessary equipment and machin-
cry; this will enhance the develop.
ment of industries in Soviet Russia.
Workers and sympathizers of Sow
let Russia that wish to come to the
aid of Soviet Russia, have now the OPP
portunity to do so. They will not only
help the Soviet government, but they
will themselves get the full benefit
from their own labor.
Join the Society for Technical Aid
to Soviet Russia. Everyone can be-
come member even tho he may not
belong to any of the co-operatives.

"The report of the district organizer

district are favorable for Communist
work. This is seen by the general dis
content among the workers with exist

the various united front campaigns INF

influence of the party in various labor

"2. Against these favorable object

against the Communists and their

eminent, followed by blacklists and
discharges from jobs of the workers
suspected of being radicals and intimi-
