Ella Reeves Bloor, communist
speaker and organizer for several
states spoke in Plentywood Monday
night to a very small audience. Pos
tiers advertising the meeting had been
sent to various towns in the County
where they had been distributed but
in Plentywood no effort had been
made to do so until she arrived here.
The rain prevented the people from
coming to hear her, and only about
fifteen were present. Hans Rasmus-
sen to whom she had sent the hand
bills here, did not distribute them as
he had someway learned that Mother
Bloor planned on exposing the Plen-
tywood brand of communism as rep
resented by the Producers Moose gang.
Efforts had been made to block her
from speaking at the Farmer-Labor
Temple but Erickson was finally in
duced to open the building for her
to speak after she had spread hand
bills to the effect she would speak
from the steps of the Temple build
ing.
Mother Bloor is a forceful speaker
and altho we cannot quite agree with
with her on many things her talk was
worth listening to, and she was &C.
corded courtesy by all present until
Tom o. Flah-rat-ty of the Producers
Moose gang staggered into the hall
full &c conroI boo% ~ ooo~.L:~.
Even he remained quiet until Charlie
Taylor and Rodney Salisbury came in,
when he Immediately commenced in
a maudlin voice to heckle and poster
the old speaker by insisting that Tay-
lor be allowed to ask some questions.
1t was evident that O'F1ah-rat-ty had
been instructed to interrupt her and
he followed the dictates of his mast
ers. Taylor and Salisbury sat as prim
and sedate as two old maids, and did
not attempt to silence the heckler.
1t became so disgusting we finally
left the room. Later we understand
Mother Bloor was called several un-
mentionable names by OF1ah-rat-ty
and she in turn informed the audience
of some alleged robbing of the Rus
sian people by the drunken heckler.
The policeman was sent for at last
but when he got there Mother Bloor
had left the Temple in disgust.
In conversation with the speaker
we were told that the Producers Moose
gang were so rotten that they were
not permitted to belong to the Com
munist party at all. That they were
opportunists, farmer baiters, and shy
sters. She said that if they belong
ed to the party now they would be
kicked out P. D. @. as they were not
fit to belong to that political organ
ization.
The Daily Worker, which is the
national news medium in the United
States for the Communist party has
also exposed the Plentywood brand OF
Communism, and that is one of the
reasons that these ex-left wing com
RAIDS werethere to do all they coult
to poster Mrs. Bloor. ,
We understand Erickson finally ar
rived on the scene and succeeded in re
moving Mr.. O'Flah-rat-ty from thu
room before the canned heat was
spilled on the floor.
To make the end of the day perfect
for O'Flah-rat-ty he was taken t.
his room at a local inn and was e
iected from the building by the pro
prietor who says that owing hin
s155.OO was too much to stand know
ing that the squirrel food writer hat
collected some money which he spent
for canned heat and moonshine in
stead of paying his hotel bill.
