TRAFFIC LIGHTS SET
ON CONSTITUTION AVE.
New Signals at 18th Street to
Operate in Conjunction With Metal
Strips in Directing Traffic.

Traffic lights were being installed to-
day at Seventeenth street and Consti-
tuition avenue and are expected to be
in operation in a few days. These
lights are to be operated in conjunction
with metal strips in the roadway that
permit a continuous stream of traffic
to flow by when set for that purpose.
When Constitution avenue was paved
recently. the metal strips were inserted
in the road bed.
Capt. r. C. Montgomery. U. s. A.,
superintendent of the United States
park police. believes that with the con-
tinuous traffic method, operated by the
wheels of the automobiles running over
the metal strips. the plan will prove
invaluable in times when great parades
traverse Constitution avenue or when
the traffic stream is headed for Poto-
mac Park, as in cherry blossom time.

Workers to Answer Fish's
Attack at Lerlin Mass Meet

NEW YORK.-The Fish Committee
has reported to the U. S. Congress,
and among its recommendations are
the outlawing of the Communist
Party and the practical suppression
of the Communist press.
The Communist Party, in honor of
-Liebknecht and Luxembourg,
three great revolutionary leaders, will
hold memorial at Madison Square
Garden. on Wednesday, Jan. 81, at
p. M. This memorial will be a mighty
demonstration against this new at
tack on the Communist Party and the
revolutionary movement.
1t is clear that the economic crisis,
from which capitalism cannot cXtri-
cate itself, is driving the government
to these measures of desperation to
suppress not only the Communist
Party but the rising tide Of working
class protest and struggle against the
system which is causing starvation
for 100000 workers, wage slashes
in every industry ,undernourishment
of millions of children, insanity, sui
cides, etc.
Just three months after the release
of the leaders of the demonstration
at Union Square on March 6, this
mighty demonstration against war
aimed particularly at the Soviet
