for after three-quarters of an hour
two men arrived. They also were set
to work reading the leaflet and then
after more consultation with the cap
tain the leaflets were returned to DR..
Markoff with instructions that they
were not to be distributed in the
streets. They were told that one per-
son was already serving six months
in prison for that "offense." DR..
MarkOff's reply was that the leaf
let's We're printed for distribution and
that that was what would be done
with them.
Protest Marking Murder.
Workers threw no bombs, but
gathered at a dozen mass meetings,
they voiced their determination to
carry on the struggle against Amer
lean Imperialism and the exploita-
ton Of the working class. They
protested against the murder of the
working class. They protested
against the murder of innocent Chi
nese women and children by Amer
lean gunboats and demanded the
freedom of Sacco and Vanzetti and
the prosecuted leaders Of the needle
trades.
Resolutions scoring the Marking
bombardment and demanding the
withdrawal of American warships and
marines from China, Nicaragua and
Mexico; resolutions demanding the
immediate release of Sacco and Van
zetti were adopted by enthusiastic
crowds of workers at the meetings.
The international character of May
Day was reflected not only in the
resolutions adopted, but in the consti-
tuition of the crowd. Workers of all
races and Mathis were represented at
the meetings. Uniting them all were
red flags, ribbons and roses, symbols
of the international workingelass,
prominently displayed.
Score Gun-bOat Diplomacy.
More than five thousand filled the
Central Opera House, 9th Street and
Ord Avenue, and heard Benjamin Git
low, William Weinstone, Jack Stachel,
Richard Moore and Juliet Poyntz
score American gunboat diplomacy in
the Caribbean and China.
Enthusiastic response to the slogans
raised characterized all of the meet
ings. AT the Hunts Point Palace, 163d
Street and Southern Boulevard, large
crowds of needle trades workers de-
nounced the persecution of their lead
ers by the reactionary National Civic
Federation, led by Matthew Vol.
