Those who have not, deserve as pun

Square," is the Illuminating head
line. According TO Pulitzer's evening
scandal sheet, the meeting was "a
political rally of the Communist
Party under the auspices of local
of the Grocery Clerks Union" The
meeting was said to have been held
at "Union Hall, 14th St. and Union
Square"
According to the New York Tele-
gram, the cops were apparently
apparently making friendly visit
to the Communists (evidently in re-
turn for the many calls the Com
munists have made upon them at
their various reception houses). The
headline read: "Riot follows cops

we are told: "a skull cracking riot
broke up Communist political rally
in Union Hall, Union Square, with
more than 100 men embattled with
police reserves" Further on we
read: "The rally called by the Com

lice, was attended by members of q

Samuel Heller is president"
This is too much!
Suddenly-the Chairs.
According to the New York Sun
the whole thing began nlysteriously
with the hurting of a chair which
was caused either by the mention
of Benjamin Gitlow's name or the
entrance of several detectives: "1r
any case, somebody hurled a chair
vigorously and with accurate aim
from somewhere near the back Of
the house. Instantly, almost thu
air was filled with other chairs.
while erstwhile friends turned VIC
lently against each other"
According to the New York Times
the mere criticism of Gitlow was
instantly followed by the arrest o.
SO men, a sort of loyalty on the
part of the New York police which
no doubt will come as welcome sur
prise to the Communists. The Times
headline reads: "Gitlow criticized
