Edith Berknan was fit to travel,
reversing his previous pronounce
rnent on request of the Department
of Labor. Crane Immediately left
on a vacation, and Doak made pre-
parations to deport Berkman.
Mass protest backing up the de-
mand made by the I. L. D. forced
Doak to permit competent medical
examination of Berkman, with the
result mentioned above. Still Doak
has announced no change in his
stated policy, which calls for Berk-
mans immediate deportation.

The International Labor Defense
has demanded from Doak that Berk-
mans departure be stayed until she
is fully recovered from her illness,
induced by the treatment she re-
ceived while detained in the Boston
immigration barracks, and that she
be permitted to choose the sana-
forum to which she will go, and that
the Department of Labor bear the
expense of her recovery.
Mass protest must be organized all
over the country, to save Berkman
from deportation, which will mean
death.

PROTEST CUBAN
TERROR TODAY
Parade in Harlem to
Save Union Leader

Thousands Of workers will take part
in a parade and demonstration in
Harlem today against the reign OF
terror in the Yankee colony, Cuba
Today's demonstration, called by
the Anti Imperialist. League, is an
answer to the butcher Machado who
has recently intensified the campaign
of murder against workingclass lea
ders. A young girl leader of the
Young Communist League, was
turned over to army officers, raped
and killed. A leader of the revolu-
tionary trade unions, Arrnando Grau,
has disappeared and has not been
heard of for weeks. 1t is feared that
soon the bloody remnants of his body
will be found floating in the harbor
of Havana as has happened in dozens
of other cases.
The demonstration will start at
p. m. at 124th st and Lenox Ave
and proceed along the following
route:

REVOLT IN
LEGION ON
VET BONUS
Rank and File Jeer
Gen. Organs Speech
Against Payment
LEADERS STAY SILENT
Want Registration of
Foreign-Born

BROOKLYN, N. Y, Aug. 26.-Re-
volt loomed in the New York State
American Legion Convention today
over the question Of the payment of
the ex-servicemen's bonus. Catcalls
and boos from the rank and file
greeted a speech of Major General
John F. Organ, who urged the vet
Grams to give up the fight for their
back wages.
This was the first time that the
bonus was either mentioned or re-
ferred to in the open sessions of the
convention, which are being held in
the Grand Ball Room of the Elks
Club, the leaders of the Legion hav-
ing carefully kept this issue in the
background.
Moses G.. Hubbard, department
commander. who is against the
bonus, admitted today that it would
be impossible to halt the bonus move
ment which has developed among the
rank and file. Hubbard said, how
ever, that the resolutions committee
would kill all resolutions denouncing
Hoover's action in calling out troops
against the bonus army in Wash
ington.
Following this, resolutions were
presented and passed calling for
universal military service, the inne-
date f1ngerprinting and registration
of the foreign-born and condemnins
the Griffin Bill, which would admit
the foreign-born to citizenship with
uot taking the oath requiring then,
to bear arms.
It is clear that the convention
will go on record 'for the bonus"
following which the leadership will
carry on a campaign against any
form of mass struggle for the bonus.
The line of the convention is the
line of the hunger government: in
creased war preparations, against un-
employment insurance, demagogic re-
lief proposals, but no real relief. All
the speeches urged an intense mill
tarization program.

Dancing at I Hamilton Park
McEnelly Popular Orches- tra Attraction for Wed-
 nesday Evening

Many dancers of the Brass City have been eagerly awaiting the end of the past Lenten season, so that they could enjoy the dancing at Hamilton Park. The manage ment was extremely fortunate in booking McEnelly as on this night the better" bands are in great de. mand throughout the country. To make this night, one long to be remembered this famous orchestra has agreed to bring fifteen men in specially arranged program of the popular hits of the day.
 McEnelly needs no introduction to the dance public of Waterbury. He and his renowned orchestra have been coming to Waterbury for the past twenty years and his popularity today, is as great if not greater than on his initial appear ance.
 McEnelly has sent word that with his augmented orchestra he has a special treat in store for all his old friends and the many new dancers of the city and surround ing towns should avail themselves of this opportunity to visit Hamil- ton Park on Wednesday evening,
