The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1930-09-12

Monday night while the Union Vet
Grams at the Memorial Room in the
Court House were holding meeting
their sessions were interrupted by a
bunch of Communists who used the
patriotic monument carrying the names
of Duluth's Civil War heroes and sur
mounted by the stars and stripes, as
roStrum from which to deliver fiery
red addresses in which law and order,
God and country, and particularly the
police department were literally
burned up" The Veterns filed OBJ
jections to the use of the square and
particularly the use of the monument
to Civil War veterans as a speakers
platform and in all probability the city
council will bar these gatherings here
after from the court house square,
Why not?
Saturday evening, six of the Com
muniSt spell-binders were arrested for
obstructing the streets at Sixth Avenue
West and Superior Street. The meet
ing Monday evening was a protest
meeting against arrest. The police
asked the gathering to move up to the
court house square at the Saturday
demonstration and the speakers at that
time became violent to such an ex-
tent as to compel the officers to arrest
six of their number after a tuSsle.
One of the six was from Duluth, one
from Minneapolis and four from Sup
erior. The leader of the demonstration
was a 10 year-old girl from Superior.
Even at the place indicated by the
police, they could not behave and will
probably also be banned from there.
We have said it before and say it
again. Duluth is reaping what it
sowed The city has complacently al
lowed a school where this class of stuff
is taught to exist within its limits and
now that the fruits of this teaching
are becoming apparent, Duluth has
trouble on it's hands Safety Commits
sioner Foubister has the right bunch
when, he refused to interfere in the
arrests and intimated that those ar
rested would be given hearing and if
found guilty, proper medicine would be
administered. Real proper medicine
would be deportation to the Russia
they so profess to love.
The leader of the revolt against law
and order is only 10 years of age but

when it comes to vituperative language
and inflamatory suggestions. The
school at Duluth evidently fulfills its
mission because two-thirds of those
in gathering of applauding listeners
were under age. The school has for
the past ten years sowed the seed which
Duluth is now harvesting. A small
unattended sore will in ten years come
to a head and become a fostering
blotch hard to cure or even regulate.
We would advise the malcontents to
go to some foreign country and try to
run the country as they are attempting
here AS an example of what would
happen, we cite the case of w. R.
Hearst the big newspaper man who
was fired bodily out of France because
as they claimed, Hearst is opposed to
France" We are just little too free
and easy in this country. If we were
allowed to send out those opposed to
us, our country would be several per
cent cleaner and a better place in
which to live by those who feel that
the country is OK. We have nation
second to none and peer to all and
yet we allow a bunch of foreign reds
to come over and try and run our
